MEN IN CONFEDERATE ARMY
Impossible to Ascertain Definitely
the Exact Number.

The estimate Of 100000 as the to-
tai Of the Confederate army for the
four years Of the war does not seem
excessive or unreasonable as repre-
senting the military strength Of the g.
100000 white population of the Con-
federate states, aided by the 100000
population Of the sympathizing border
states, and with an industrial army Of
100000 slaves, A. B. Casselman
writes in Current History Magazine.
The Southern estimate, or legend" as
it has been aptly termed, Of 100000,
has always seemed disproportionate.
This estimate Is Of uncertain origin,
and is not derived from any official
source. 1t did not originate during the
war, but after the war had ended,
when the Confederates had lost their
records and were without official data
on which to support their assertions.
No official summary purporting to
show the total number can be found In
the official records. The captured rolls
are incomplete and fragmentary. As
an Illustration, It has been ascertained
that approximately 1000 names are
missing from the captured rolls Of q
single regiment, the Sixtieth North
Carolina. Rev. Dr. McKim, an Exon
federate officer and writer on this
subject, quotes a letter received By
him from Col. Walter G. Taylor, Gen.
eral Lees adjutant general, saying:
II regret to have to say that know
Of no reliable data In support Of any
precise number, and have always
realized that it must ever be largely a
matter Of conjecture on our side"
In the absence of complete Official
records, the question still remains
largely a matter Of conjecture. Neither
(he Confederate idea Of 100000 nor
any later estimate can be accepted as
final or az even approximately accu-

Gardeners Advantages.

7 wo men were out for a walk one
day h and they commenced "a discussion
as to What was the best employment
to whch to put their sons.
They discussed various businesses
end trades.
I had bean thinking of putting my
boy into theA motor works." confessed
Robinson
Hughes had been getting the worst
of the argument. SO he fell back on
humor to save himself.
II think I shah let my son become
q gardener" he said quietly.
"A gardenerl' retorted Robinson,
falling into the trap. "Whyever a
gardener"
Because q gardener runs his own
mint. sets his own thyme. and raises
his celery every year."
And they walked ons for miles and
miles In silence.

PARENTS OF NAVEL ORANGE
From Two Trees Has Grown an In.
dustry Which ls Now Estimated
In Millions

From two lone orange trees, to
which buds Of the seedless navel" Or
ange OF Brazil were grated some years
ago. has grown an industry which last
year showed net profit Of some forty
million dollars. Today one hundred
and seventy-dve thousand acres Of Cal
ifornia land Is planted to navel or
anges, which are set out In numbers
ranging from 80 to 1B0 trees to the
acre.
William Saunders, one-time superin.
tendent Of the government horticul-
tural grounds at Washington. D. O..
learned In 1870 that q new seedless
orange had been developed at Bahai,
Brazil, and procured 70 Of the young
trees through the aid Of a missionary.
They were brought to the United
States and planted under conditions as
nearly those Of their native land as
could be found, but they could not
Withstand the more rigorous northern
climate. and they soon died. Buds had
been taken from them, however. and
grated upon sprouts Of native propa.
cation. Two Of these sprouts survived
and were transplanted TO the West
coast In 1876.
From them have sprung the thou
sands Of trees which have made the ma
vel Grange the foremost among the many
varieties Of oranges. Every year buds
have been taken from them to imnart
navel characteristics to homegrown
seedlings. and still though somewhat
Savished by time, these patriarchs an.
nually add their small quota to the
thousands Of bushels Of fruit their OF.

Plants have heart and pulse and
q blood circulation" very similar to
that Of the animal world. This IL the
sensational discovery Of Sir Jagardis
Chandra Bose, the famous Indian
botanist. According to Sir Jagardis,
great quantities Of water are absorbed
daily by the average tree This water
is driven up to the very top Of the
tree and then breathed out again
through the leaves. Experiments
were carried out by Sir, Jagardis at
his botanical institute I'm Calcutta. he
says there Is no Characteristic mani

way, and shows that II possesses a

Get Your Share Of Fruit.

A great many persons regard fruit
as a superfuity or luxury; but. &C
cording to the New York state health
commissioner, fruit should be part OF
our daily diet for several very good
reasons. Many fruits contain certain
salts of organic acids which have a
stimulating effect upon the kidneys.
and some others are decidedly laxa-
tive. Owing to their large content Of
water they are always cooling. and
any digestive difficulties which may be
encountered are generally due to eat

Hallowell's First Christmas
Tree Proves Success

Hallowell's first Community Christ
mas tree was a great success. The
weather clerk was kind and gave a
beautiful moonlit night, and even
added for good measure yesterday
real snow to trim the branches and
cover the ground that nothing might
be lacking. The tree itself was a
beautiful straight fir about thirty
feet high, ablaZe of colored lights,
two hundred in all.
An appropriate program was given
under the direction of Harry Ride
out, president of Ward One Commun-
ity Club, who gave the tree to the
children of Hallowell. Mr.. Rideout
in an appropriate speech thanked
those who had cooperated in making
the tree possible, then introduced
Rev. H. o. Megert. who offered pray

the leadership of Walter Colby sang,

Upon Midnight Clear" Then fol-
lowed two songs by the children of
the Page School, under the direction
Of Mrs. Madge O'Brien and Miss
"Hark, The Herald Angels Sing" and
christmas Bells" Then Mr.. Ride
out introduced Hon. Charles X. Til
den. mayor-elect of Hallowell. who
made an appropriate speech. praising
the work of Ward Ones Community
Club and referring to the joys of
the Christmas season Then the choir
sang again, "Silent Night"
Just at the close of this carol San
ia Claus arrived. He came in very
modern fashion, suited to a 1923
Christmas. in beautifully decorated
automobile. The evergreen covered
the car. outlining it in Ar. The
chauffeur was Ernest Edgerly. Santa
was most effective in a really stun

with an abundance of gray whiskers.
He was received with wild enthusi-
asm by the youngsters, to whom he
made brief and amusing speech.
Then each child received a check,
formed in line. and received from
Santa. (Noyes Wheeler) a stocking
