expense of trying this matter out, as it might mean a great deal to them, in the way of developing their country, and increasing everybody's chan ces to make good money from the new enterprise.
 It would be an excellent idea for the Commercial Club to send you here to personal Fly investigate the matter.
 In the event you send any hemp, select stalks about the size of a lead pencil, they car ry the best fibre. That is what you want.
 Where sown by the farmer for the market, by sowing the seed thick it will produce the small stalk.
 The large stalks are more woody and less fibre and also poorer quality.
 ! Please let me hear from you at your earliest convent .ence that 1 may advise MT. Callahan.
 Very truly yours,

 Yuma, Arizona. My Dear Sir:
 Replying to your favor of 18th, ult., enclosing samples of stalks of Colorado hemp, would beg to return you thanks for your prompt, cour- teous attention to the subject, in the interest of your re- noWned commercial club.
 The stalks enclosed had ev- idently been exposed to the weather, which had obviously destroyed the natural fibre life, which resides on the out CT surface of the stalk, al- ways, and after growing to| maturity, should be preserved from the elements of sun or storm, which is always de structive.
 1 beg to enclose, by post, a sample of natural fibre hemp and fibre, which form the element of commercial value to this plant that you may see what it is, in it's per feet natural condition.
 Probably if you had some that had not been sub- jected to the weather, they would yield a fibre more like the sample enclosed, md ] will take great pleasure m demonstrating this fact to you, in the interest of the club.
 Undoubtedly, this plant could be cultivated from the fibre seed in your region, Cd l be a profitable product l

Yuma Hemp World Stapb Value Up to Twenty Gents Per POun(

It Yuma Wild hemp can be converted into a world staple selling from 12c to 20c per pound, swhy not cultivate it? That is a question now be- ing agitated. It has long been known that Yuma hemp makes very superior rope, but, like many other good things of which this section has a superabundance the hemp question has been al- lowed to drag, awaiting the right man to take hold of it, and, apparently, the time is now ripe for favorable con Sideration of hemp-growing on a large scale.

 Dear Sir:
 Your esteemed favor of the 10th inst. at hand and fully noted. In reply, beg to say, 1 have seen MT. Charles Gala nan (M. l.. and showed him your letter.
 He has a hemp-breaking machine here and has demon Strated that it will handle the hemp grown on the Sacra- river islands, and says. he can handle your hemp and demonstrate that it will be a profitable crop for your farm CTS to raise for commercial purposes.
 He says there is no better hemp grown in any country.
 There is a concern here who are advocating the rais- ing of hemp by the farmers, and they claim that from the quotations they have received for the hemp fibre in New York, that the least they can figure that the farmer can is S1OO per acre.
 If that be true, you can see it will compare favorably as against alfalfa seed, at the high yield and price which you state in your circular, viz., $500 lbs. per acre at Is cents per.

 However, my purpose is to give you any information ] can if it will advance yourin- terests, and would suppose the Yuma Commercial Club

POST SHOWS PERSIAN
OMAR AT HIS BEST

With scenic effects which add
ed realism and beauty to the
presentation, the Omar the Tent
maker" of Richard Walton Tully
was portrayed last evening at the
Tacoma as only Guy Bates Post
can portray 1t.
AS Post pictured the Persian
philosopher, he talked great deal
more of wine than he drank, and
when he drank, the results were
such a frightened philosophy and
wit that his errors were forgiven.
Omar, In the SO years of his life
which were represented, was
successfully a phenomenal and
original student, and q lover of
his masters daughter, Shircen; a
man who gave up chances OF ad-
vancement because he would not
submit to bigotry, and at last a
man who gained peace at the end
of his life in the quiet garden
where first he studied, and
loved Shireen.

"DOn'N reach a conclusion

thing you are not informed
about, go and get the infor-

patiently, carefully. Digest

you'll experience NO trouble
talking about it."
That was the theory upon which
Wilson began his education. Wher

and he followed it relentlessly
ever afterwards. In each steI

and training himself to impart
that knowledge or to apply 1t to

life STORY OF The PRESIDEN
Woodrow Wilson Made Up Mind 4
Years Ago He Would Occupy
Present High Position

Il was at the age OF 10
that Thomas Woodrow VIII
son said to himself: ''I'm go
ing to be president OF the
United States,"-and then
he went ahead and made
good.
Wilson's resolve to become
president was made way back
yonder in 1875, when Tommy"
Wilson had just come up to
Princeton from Wilmington, N.
c., to go to college. One day he
wandered into the library and
happened to pick up an English
magazine containing a particular
ly dramatic account of scenes in
the British house of commons. He
read 1t through without stopping
and then got the back numbers of
the same magazine and read them.
Deliberately Fits Himself.
He was stirred by the articles,
and pledged himself that day to
fit himself for q career as a
statesman. From that moment
on he worked without ceasing to
obtain the knowledge, acquire
and develop the ability and master
the arts that would equip him
thoroughly for public leadership
and high public office.
Wilson was not 30 egotistical
or SO oblivious to the elements of
chance as to set his heart on the
presidency and exclude the
thought of rendering public SER
vice In any other capacity. His
purpose was not SO specific as
general. He deliberately planned
and then patiently, effectively
followed course of schooling
that would give him the qualities
of statesman of the highest
type.
Instead of "going into politics"
by running for county treasurer
on his personal popularity, get
ting elected mayor of his town,
going on up the scale by political
manipulation to congress, a gov
ernorship, a senatorship and then
the presidency, he spent more
than half Of his life training him
self, first, to know the facts of the
history of government the world
over from the beginning Of gov
eminent to the present; second,
to master absolutely all the
knowledge obtainable of govern
ment in the United States, and
third, to apply his facts. his
knowledge, and his reasoning
deduced from facts--to tho pres
ent day affairs of his own country.
Throughout these long years of
training his mind, Mr.. Wilson
saw before him a vision of SER
vice to be rendered through the
presidency, but in the meantime
: he rendered the maximum of pos
sible service in whatever post he
occupied.
Best Equipped President.
He hoped the turn. Of events
would take him to the White
House, but he stood ready at all
times to serve in a position of
lesser Importance, and every day
he was adding to his intellectual
and moral equipment.
Consequently, when the people
of New Jersey, casting about for
q governor to lead In genuine re-
form, drafted him, he demon
strated, in a fashion seldom
eQualed. his qualifications for the
job.
Then he became president OF
the United States with the most
complete equipment ever pos
sessed by man elected to that
office.
Father Great Help.
Much of Woodrow Wilson's
ability to teach himself how to
learn and then how to tell what
he has learned was due to his
father, the Rev. Joseph r. Will
son, a rugged cotch-Presbyterian
