Protest the Only "Sign."

11oIcoL Lie Ouly 0lSu.
So Mr.. Hughes departs for the east
without having his visit here in any
way identified with the senatorial con-
test, except in so far as relates to the
protest made by some of the johnson
people because he would not give con-
spicuous recognition to their candidate
alone. to the disadvantage of the other
candidate for the nomination.
AS stated in previous dispatch,
whatever the result of next Tuesdays
primaries in deciding who is the repub-
lican candidate for the United States
senatorship. johnson will be voted
upon for that office in November as
the progressive candidate. If Booth
has the excess of votes in the pri-
mary, progressives will have the choice
of voting for him and electing re-
publican senator or voting for johnson
as progressive and again splitting the
vote of the state with the risk of elect
ing a democrat
If johnson should win the Joint NOM
ination. the regular republicans will
have the alternative of voting for him
or for a democrat. Then the decision
will be made by that great army of
26o.oe0 voters who have not declared
thelr party aff:llation in registering and
who viii be free to vote their personal
choice in November. This means the
liveliest campaign California has ey-
perienced in years.
The republicans have but one line of
pol1cy-to determine whether California
IS republican or democratic state
There Will be no splitting of hairs nor
coddling of any one. 1t is to be a show
down. and the progressives will be
given an opportunity to demonstrates
whether it is in reality a reunited re-
publican party or whether it is a case
of rule or ruin" by the former hui
moose adherents.
Every congressional district will be
contested and the republicans expect to
make gains. The progressives are rum

such, for the congressional nomina-

ANTIQUITY OF CHEESE.
The Bible Mentions Il, as Do Homer
and Othes Early Writers.

Cheese aud curlling OF the milk are
mentioned In the book OF Job. David
was sent by his father, Jesse, TO carry
ten cheeses TO the camp and to look
how his brother Jared. Cheese of
kline" formed part OF the supplies Of
David's army at Mahanaim during the
rebellion OF Ahsalom, 4
Homer says that cheese formed part
OF the ample stores found by Ulysses
In the cave OF the Cyclop Polyphemus,
Euripides, Theocritus and other early
poets mention cheese. Ludolphus says
that excellent cheese and butter were
made by the ancient Ethiopians, and
Strabo states that some of the ancient
Britons Were so ignorant that. though
they had abundance OF milk. they did
not understand the art OF making
cheese.
There is no evidence that any OF
these ancient nations had discovered
the use Of rennet In making cheese,
They appear TO have merely allowed
the milk to sour and subsequently TO
have formed the cheese from the case,
Gus part OF the milk after expelling the
serum or whey.
As David when too young to carry
arms was able to run to the camp
with ten cheeses, ten loaves and an
ephah Of parched corn. the cheeses
must have been very small.

THE APPLE.

An apple should be allowed to be. come full size and we'll colored before it is picked, and if it is winter fruit should be cooled as soon as possible. Fruit which is to be stored for winter use cannot be placed in storage too quickly after it is harvested. Fruit which stands around in the barn or packing house for several days or weeks before it goes into storage will come out in bad condition. This point of "getting the fruit into storage within two days after it is picked" cannot be too strongly emphasized. Even the small farmer who wishes to keep fruit late in the winter for his own use should try and keep it cool after it is harvested. An apple, even after it is picked is growing and just as soon as it is fully ripe it will begin to deterio- rate. Cool or cold temperatures will check this development. Therefore. if you wish to have Baldwin apples next March don't allow them to ripen in a warm building this fall.
 Many people ask when their apples should be picked. The time varies somewhat with the season. The only safe rule to follow is this: Pick the fruit when it is full grown and we'll colored. This applies particularly to winter varieties. The summer and fall varieties should be picked so that they will reach the market ill good condition. For long shipments or storage pick while hard and firm.

OTHER COUNTERFEITS

Local bankers customs and postoffice officials have been warned by the United States secret service department to be on their guard for counterfeit $1 and $10 notes now being circulated in the East. The notes were discovered west of the Mississippi river but it is believed the operators who are circula ting them have changed their field to the eastern states.
 The $l note is the series of 1899, letter "D," signed by J. 0. Napier, register of the treasury and Lee Mo Clung, treasurer of the United States. The note has the portraits of Lincoln and Grant.
 The $lO note is one of the gold cer- tificate issue, series of 1907, letter "A," Gabe E. Parker, register of treasury and John Burke, treasurer of the United States. The bill has a portrait of Michael Hillegas. On both bills, it is said, the figures are un- usually large and the engraving rather crudely executed.

In spite of conditions prevailing in Mexico the trade of that country with the United States increased beyond precedent during the last fiscal year. Sales of munitions of war to the Mex jeans account for part of the increase, but not to a degree which annuls the general proposition that trade between the two countries is healthful. notwith- standing political and commercial up- hcavals beyond the border. Imports from Mexico in the fiscal year 1916 were $20,0OOOO0 above those of 1915 and $5,0O0,OOO ahead of 1914, which was a record and reached $92, ,690, ,566. Tn exports to Mexico there was a gain of $14OO0,000 over 1915 and $10,000,- COO over 1914. The combined import and export trade for the year was $145. .9S5 ,OS6 as against the previous high figures of $131, ,927,, ,,266, in 1913.
