"A preliminary inquiry into the posi-.
bility Of the commercial utilization Of
the seed Of the rubber tree for oil pro-
duction has been undertaken by the
agricultural authorities In the FEEDER
ated Malay states. From time to time
suggestions have been made for the

An auctioneer had been selling

Early In the day he had shouted the

Russia. In concluding peace with Ger

merely demobilizes, while the kaiser

shot down somewhere else. Russia Is
quite right; when you cease to defend
yourself against a hungry tiger you draw
up no treaty with 1t, you merely unload

And then again there Is the shortage OF
paper, and the moral shortage Of the
kaiser, to whom treaties are no great
matter anyhow. so why have a treaty?
The difficulty that the Russians were
In when they came to the question of a
treaty is one that confronts the whole
world. England went to war to defend a
broken treaty. Shall the kaiser be bound
not to do 1t again by another treaty, a
nicer treaty with a prettier seal? How
simple things would be IL only he could,
and stumer cheques could be paid for by
other stumers. and murderers be solemnly
sentenced not to do 1t again. 1t is very
natural for the Ukraine to want peace,
but Belgium wanted peace in 1914 when
the war lord wanted a war.
There are certain persons to whom the
monotony of peace Is as intolerable as
German bands are to you or me; they
cannot stand its continual dizziness year
after year; and at last it gets on their
nerves so much that they have to do
away with it. 1t isn't their fault; they
must. And SO they break 1t, according
to their station and opportunities. Bill
bashes a policeman, Wilhelm breaks. a
treaty, and then things begin to liven up

FIRST or SEEDLEss ORANGES
Fruit That Is Now So Much Priced
Was Brought TO This Country
From Brazil.

In 1872 United States consul 70
jahia (BraziD, w. f. Judson, was told
by the natives that 60 miles inland, up
the Amazon, were native orange trees
bearing fruit without seeds. Accord
ingly he sent natives after tree shoots
and some OF the fruit.
The shoots were packed In moss
and clay and sent to Washington.
They were set out by the agricultural
department, but attracted little atten-
ton until tht next year, when Horatio
Tfbbetts of Riverside, Cal, took the
surviving four shoots to his home and
planted them. One died and another
was eaten up by COW. At the end of
five years the two surviving trees bore
l6 handsome seedless oranges. Next
year the oranges were even better, and
the trees bore about box of the fruit.
From that time on the cultivation of
the seedless oranges about Riverside
progressed rapidly. AS there were no
seeds to raise the trees from 1t was
found necessary to graft buds of the
seedless trees into Seeding trees.
Riverside has grown from small
village to a town of $4,000 acres de-
voted to the cultivation of navel or
anges. 1t is the greatest orange pro-
ducing locality in the world. The two
original trees were fenced about and
carefully guarded lest harm should
come to them, and they are now en-
toying a green old age.
