Date Palm Beauty
No palm that succeeds in the
Valley equals the date palm in
beauty and grace. The Canary is
land or So-called Ornamental" or
false date" is beautiful Of foliage,
but ungraceful of trunk, that part
being swollen and g%roteSque; and it
should be planted only where it can
be allowed to assume it's natural
low, sprawling growth; but never
along highway, roads, drives, or
chards or in restricted or valuable
small grounds.
Marketing the Date
The truly splendid ~dehydrated
dates we are now getting from the
date groves of California and Ari-
IONA, show question that there Is no
limit as to market for such a prod
uct SO delicious could go out yearly
by parcel post, express, etc., direct
ly to consumers.
Reducing the cost to the consum-
er from the eXtravagant prices of
IS cents to ST per pound, which
these California dates now cots, will
increase their consumption a thou
sand fold, they are SO delicious, and
so wholesome and nourishing.
The transformation in beauty
that will come from the planting of
date palms throughout the Valley
can be easily forseen and the fame
OF it also; for the date palm is what
is always meant, in classic or ORR
entail literature when the palm is
mentioned; and its beauty so far
SurpasSeS that of any of the fan
palms or the So-called "ornamen-
tal' date, that it seems incredible
that either of these would be sub
stituted or used, where the true date
does so well.
I am always glad to assist at date
pollenizing time, by consultation,
advice or other means. in causing
as many as possible Of the date
palms 10Y in the Valley to be pol
lenized and SO produce their splen-
did fruit; and this particularly, that
more date palms shall be planted
until their beautiful presence shall
turn this fair land into'a truly trop-
ical landscape as well as produce
their splendid fruit and protect U
citrus groves.
No tree of any sort will grow and
give its wonderful beauty and de-
liciouS fruit on lands so salty, wa
t~er-logged or "seeped,' as date
palms. Most surprising and con-
vincing proofs of this statement
are in my possession and available
to all who want to help bring this
Valley to "itS own"
Date trees making good on soil
that is 40 per cent pure salt, and
on land with seepage water-table s
inches from the surface; but of
course, they do their best there.

For 70 years, I have not failed one
year to pollenize date palm trees in
south Texas. First at Rio Grande
City, then at Brownsville and Lar
euo, and since that time from every
section of semi-tropic Texas. From
Eagle Pass to Beaumont, and from
SIX Antonio to Brownsville, and
IN several of the Mexican states.
Inc date industry, for all of this
vast Semi-tropic region is now alb
solutely assured by these dernonstra-
tionS.
Tens Of thousands of date palm

Tens OF thousands of these date
JalmS are to be planted this year.
And 1t will not be long now until
q million dollars yearly will come
TO the Valley from fresh and dehy-
Grated dates, sent out to all parts
OF the world, direct to the consumer.
Fresh ripe dates will keep and
ship for some time and long dis
tances. before becoming sole enough
Tor eating. And when dehydrated,
will ship and keep indefinitely. So

tropic Texas, from the remarkable
protective value of the date palm
tree, to the fully 100000 acres Of
citrus fruit trees now planted.
And, added still to this, the sur
passing charm and tropical beauty

est of all the palms that will succeed
here, is impossible to over-stresS.
Polarization Notes
The Pistillate date trees are cas-
lily distinguished; and, as these are
the only ones producing, I will de-
scribe the flowers of the pistillate
tree, so that no one need mistake
them from the Staminate (male)
trees, that produce nc fruit, but
are necessary for their pollen, with
out which, a~rtificially applied, there
will be only abortive, worthless fruit.
I have contributed this data every
year, together with instructions how
to pollenize the date, for Is years,
to the South Texas press, without
charge or hope of reward except the
desire to do a full share i'm bringing
the inevitable and wonderful devel-
opment I knew would come to this
semi-tropic southland that I saw
clearly would inevitably finally sur
pass either Southern California or
Florida in magnitude and value Of
its semi-tropic fruit industries.
But such vast numbers of new
home-makers and developers are
coming each month, that I am de-
luged with reSquests for detailed
data impossible to furnish PERSONAL

ISOLATION.

Keeping children well is easy
when mother can read the early
symptoms of childhood's ills.
If little ones are >retful, pale,
languid, won't eat and want to be
mothered; when they often get
colds and sore throat and seem
feverish, depend upon it the bowels
are sluggish. You notice unpleasant
breath when you kiss them-sure
sign Of constipation and q sour
stomach.
Give a little alifornia Fig Syrup
to purify the system and see how
quickly it restores strength, appe-
tite and joyous spirits. It acts
without pain and gently cleanses
the bowels of constipated waste
which causes feverishness, sours the
digestion and keeps the little one
sickly and backward.
If you suspect measles or some
other children's disease, give a dose
Of California Fig Syrup without
delay. The doctor will praise your
forethought. California Fig Syrup
Is the finest laxative in the world
for children. It suits them per-
fectly and they love its delicious
taste. For a child who is habitual-
ly constipated there is no other
remedy to equal California Fig Sy-
rup for coaxing the bowels back to
healthy regularity. If you have a
child who is troublesome in this
way try California Fig Syrup. Get
a bottle today. All drug stores
have it.
California Fig Syrup has been
trusted by the worlds mothers for
over 80 years. That is why the
word california" should be en-
| phasized when buying.

REPUBLICANS HOPE
TOCOMPLETE WORK
Of TARIFF REVISION
With Rates or Hides, Leather
and Shoes Out OF the Way,
Sundries Come Next

Washington. Aug. 14.-M9-Having
completed their revision Of the house
rates IN hides. feathers and shoes, tho
tariff drafting Republicans Of the
senate finance committee hoped to-
day to complete work speedily on the
sundries schedule Of the bill and
clear the way for action on the high
ly controversial sugar schedule.
After obtaining the desired addi-
tional information on the views Of
organized producers. the committee
men have decided to support the
house action in placing a duty Of 10
per cent on imported hides and 20
per cent on shoes. both Of which are
now admitted without imposts.
They agreed, however. on a num-
Der Of changes in the house rates on
various types Of leather, also on the
free list at present, raising some and
reducing others. The upward re-
visions included proposals to place a
rate of IA per cent on feathers to be
used for harness or saddlcry. and
Is per cent on sole and betting lcath-
err, instead Of IL. per cent as voted
by the house. together with l7ia in
stead Of Is per cent or side. upper.
patent and calf or kip skin feathers
for footwear.
The house rate Of Is per cent on
leather obtained from animals not
of the bovine species. on the other
hand, would be reduced to l7ls per
cent. and that of 80 per cent on
ornamental leather to 20 per cent.
Another reduction was voted on
mems leather gloves. making the
rate $3.50 a dozen instead of $3.50.
The $3.50 rate approved by the house
on womcn's leather gloves was re-
tanned, and so was its 20 per cent
rate on leather for upholstery. COL
lars, bags. cases. gloves, garments
and straps.
With that problem out Of the way
the committeeman took cognizance
of the smuggling problem and de-
cided to transfer rought and uncut
diamonds from the dutiable to the
free list. The house voted a duty
of 10 per cent on such stones, and
20 per cent on cut diamonds and
pearls. which the senators reduced by
half.

-(AP)-Having practicable fixed
Christmas rs the limit for evacua-

lions delegates this morning set Sat-
urday as the date when the chief
problems before them must be set
tied.
The financial committee heard the
last speeches on the question of de-
.liverics in kind and then on a motion
by Philip Snowdcn. British chancel-
lcr of the %exchcquer, decided to sus-
pend its work until Saturday in or

ton of informal conversations
among the delegates.
The chancellor, whose demands for
modification Of the Young plan have
represented the chief nut to be
cracked. expressed the hone that
these conversations will bear fruit
and the remainder of the delegates
echoed his sentiments.
Louis Louchcur, French delegate
and the principal speaker this morn
ing. agreed with w. Graham. prcsi-
dent of the British board Of trade.
that payment of PREPARATIONS by de-
liveries in kind is unfortunate but
declared they were inevitable.
The pcaccmakcrs, he said, had a
choice between two evils when they
decided on this form of payment and
they chose the lesser. France has
no interest in receiving imports nm
