Alfa Variety to Be Grown In
Southern California.
USEFUL FOR PAPERMAKING.
RULES OF TH* KING.
Los Angeles Man Has Two Saoks of
Seed From Faraway Africa—Suc
cess of Experiments May Msan
Creation of Big industry.
Carefully protected iu the safe of
one of the business houses of Los An
geles repose two small sacks of grass
seed upon which arfr based hopes of
great thiugs, says the Los Angeles
Times. The sacks contain alfa seed
from the great Sahara desert. They
may be the forerunner of an important
papermaking industry in southern Cal
ifornia.
The alfa seeds were sent by Profess
or David Fairchild of the bureau of
plant industry. United States depart
ment of agriculture, to J. C. Conrad of
Los Angeles, who had become inter
ested iu the possibilities of raising this
grass on the desert lands of southern
California and Arizona for papermak
ing. It was necessary to send to Af
rica for the seeds, and the small con
signment recently received will be
carefully planted for experiment work.
One portion of the seed will go to
Daggett, iu the heart of the desert, on
the Santa Fe railway. There it will
be planted on the ranch of T. S. Van
Dyke, one of the pioneer desert ranch
ers, who has attained much success in
propagating various growths suited to
arid districts.
Another |K>rtion will be planted at
Mecca, on lauds owned by Frank R.
Strong, and the third allotment goes
to Thermal, in the heart of Coachella
valley, where Mr. Conrad believes con
ditions of the higher levels are very
similar to tiiose to be found In the na
tive soil of the alfa grass.
On account of the constantly dimin
ishing supply of material for paper
making, Mr. Conrad became interested
in the possibilities of growing alfa
grass on California's arid lands. His
attention was attracted by a brief
statement made in one of Frank G.
Carpenter’s letters to the Times.
Mr. Carpenter, writing from Beni
Oumif, in the Sahara desert, 490 miles
south of the Port of Oran, says of the
alfa:
“I have been passing through a
great plain of yellow, sandy soil, cov
ered here and there with stones and
spotted everywhere with bunches of
the dry alfa grass.
“The alfa was growing right in the
sands. It is a long, wiry grass, which
Is gathered by the thousands of tons
and shipped to Europe for the making
of paper. It is cut by the Arabs, and
there are companies with immense
capital which handle it. It grows to
the height of my waist, in bunches,
some of which are not bigger than
one’s fist, while others sprout out of
mounds which would fill a half bushel
measure. It looks tough and dry, but
nevertheless large Hocks of sheep,
goats and camels feed upon it.”
It is possible, if the experiments in
the growth of the alfa grass in the
Coachella and Imperial valleys and on
the Mohave desert. In San Bernardino
county, prove a success, that paper
mills will be erected in southern Cali
fornia to handle the product, as it is
claimed that the material makes a pa
per of superior quality which will
command top prices. The material Is
especially suitable for high grade book
papers.
The leaves of the alfa grass are from
eighteen inches to two feet In length.
They have the peculiarity of breaking
off at the base, so that they are gath
ered by the exertion of a steady pull,
after which they are sorted according
to their color ami length and tied in
bundles for exportation. About $1,-
000.000 worth of the grass is exported
annually from Algeria, and the con
stantly increasing shortage of raw' ma
terial for the manufacture of paper
makes a permanent field for the crop.
Mr. Conrad is certain that on the
higher lands of the Coachella and Im
perial valleys, at present nonirrigable,
the alfa grass will prove a profitable
crop. He lielieves that the cost of 1
gathering the grass, which is plucked;
by hand in the African desert, will be
greatly lessened If it proves a good
desert crop In California by the inven-1
tlon of labor saving machinery.
Fcrmalities When Edward VII. At-
tenda a Public Dinnar.
When his majesty is to preside at a
public dinner a variety of formalities
have to be rigidly observed. In the
first place, the invitation, including a
list of the committee, the toast list and
the speakers, must be received at
Buckingham palace at least a month
or six weeks ahead of the date pro
posed for the function. It is then sub
mitted to the king by his private secre
tary. and If the date does not clash
with arrangements made previously, all
other details being in order, the invita
tion is graciously accepted.
A statement must also be sent an
nouncing the hour at which the func
tion Is to begin and when it is expected
to end. These two points are most es
sential. as royalty and punctuality are
synonymous terms. Moreover, the king
does not care to spend more than a cer
tain number of hours at any public
dinner; therefore speeches and other
matters have to be arranged accord
ingly.
After these necessary preliminaries
have been satisfactorily arranged the
day on which the banquet is to take
place is awaited. An hour or so be
fore the commencement of the dinner
an official ^ arrives at the banqueting
hall. It is his duty to examine the
plan of the tables and to see that the
chair of the king is suitably placed so
as to be free from drafts, noises and
other disturbing influences. This offi
cial Is exceedingly fastidious, and his
wmrd is law. On not a few occasions
he has thrown every one into a state
of consternation by demanding a
change in the arrangements of a dinner
at the eleventh hour. The require
ments of his majesty in these and oth
er matters, however, are now so well
known that mistakes are of rare oc
currence.
As soon as the seating arrangements
have been “passed” the special wine
w’hlch the illustrious guest Is to drink
arrives In charge of a royal servant
Members of the royal family always
send their own wine to public dinners
and in many cases their own special
brands of cigars also. The wine is In
the charge of a responsible servant in
the employ of the royal household,
whose duty it Is to stand behind the
chair of his master and wait upon him.
Special attention has to be paid to
the menu, care being taken that the
card contains an assortment of dishes
for which the more important mem
bers of the royal family have a predi
lection. The menu is usually short and
rarely exceeds four or five course*.
Private servants always attend exclu
sively to the requirements of the royal
guests.
Like most of his subjects, his majes
ty has dining whims. He will on no
account, for instance, allow two knives
to lie on the table before hies together.
It is believed that the king puts some
faith in the well known superstition
that ill comes from the crossing of
knives. Let this be as it may. at all
dinners held at Buckingham palace a
clean knife is placed beside each guest
with every course, and this rule must
be rigidly observed at all public as well
as private dinners attended by his
majesty. And his servants take special
pains to see that it is so.
Dinner must lie served as soon as his
majesty is seated. None save mem
bers of the royal family is expected to
converse with the king until addressed
by him. and a stranger must on no ac
count attempt conversation without a
formal introduction. The royal visitor
is exceedingly particular on this point
and is most precise in indicating those
to whom he wishes to bo introduced.
No one is permitted to leave the ta
ble at a public dinner until all the
members of the royal family have first
risen and retired. The king rarely
smokes at public functions, but a spe
cial room is usually set aside for his
majesty’s accommodation should he
wish to do so.—Loudon Tit-Bits.
CONSUMPTION.
The Duck Pest.
Wild ducks are giving some of the
farmers iu the vicinity of Holtvilie,
Cal., a merry run for their money. On
Farmer Coon’s place a few days ago
thousands of them could have been
seen eagerly devouring the new sown
grain. The gratis growers in the vicin
ity of Bllsbee also are complaining.
Mr. Ijams owns something like 200
acres six or eight miles southwest of
El Centro. He has irrigated eighty
acres of his place and planted barley.
Before the grain had hardly sprouted
the ravenous und half starved wary
bird was on the scene ready for ac
tion. Unless the valley farmers get
together and exterminate this pest they
might as well cease trying to raise
grain. The solution of the dock prob
lem is up to them.
Its cause and Suggested Means of
Recovery.
Consumption is not always an in
herited disease, and a large percent
age of cases may be attributed to the
following causes:
First, defective digestion. Second.
Imperfect nutrition as a result of the
first. Third, the accumulation of
miorbid product in the lungs as the
result of imperfect nutrition, and this
in turn breaks down the function of
respiration ond consumption is an es
tablished disease.
The first step toward a cure is to
restore the function of nutrition, and
to this end nothing in the world ex
cels Vinol.
It is for this reason we went every
person in Gaffney to know about our
delicious cod liver preparation, Vinol,
which is far superior to old-fashioned
cod liver oil and emulsions because
it is made by a scientific, extractive
and concentrating process from fresh
cods’ livers, combining with pepto-
nate of iron all the medicinal, heal
ing, body building elements of cod
liver oil BUT NO OIL.
In pulmonary diseases, it nourishes
the body, increases vigor, checks the
cough and often mitigates the dis
ease. As a strength-creator for old
people, delicate children, weak, run
down persons, and after sickness,
Vinol is unexcelled.
We ask Gaffney people to try Vi
nol on our offer to return their money
if it does not give satisfaction. The

EITE OFJRIHIIHLS,
Judge Whitman Favors Life Im
prisonment For Habituais.
TOO MUCH SYMPATHY WASTED
Reform of Felons Over Thirty is im
possible, Claims New York Jurist.
Urges Removing Crime’s Causes and
Lass Reformation.
JudgeK, lawyers and students of
criminology have been commenting
upon the stand taken by Charles S.
Whitman, recently Judge of the court
of general sessions'in New York, who
not only says that either death or life
imprisonment should be the sentence
for habitual criminals, but also de
clares that too much sympathy is
wasted upon criminals of both sexes.
Judge Whitman, who is generally re
garded as the deepest student of crim
inology in New Y’ork city, in discussing
his views with a reporter of the New
York Herald asserted that the cases of
criminals reforming after having reach
ed the age of thirty are practically un
heard of things.
State prison should not lie contend
ed with reformatories, be says, and,
while the latter do good and have some
effect in reforming young prisoners,
criminals who are sent to penitentiaries
come out far more vicious ami danger
ous than when they were sentenced.
They have gained shrewdness, and a
man who has a prison record is of far
more danger to the community than
one who lias never been behind prison
bars.
The way to eliminate crime. Judge
Whitman says,' is to eliminate crimi
nals. The laws should lie made more
Aastic, for every year it is getting
harder and harder to punish prisoners
guilty of the crimes for which they
were arrested.
In speaking of the causes of crime
and the making of criminals the jurist
declares that the low pay of women iu
the shops iu New York city has had
much to do with their downfall. Bet
ter wages would take away many of
their temptations. In summing up the
situation he said:
“It is getting harder and harder ev
ery day to bring the criminal to proper
punishment. 1 do not believe this to
be the fault of the jury system, for that
seems about as satisfactory an arrange
ment as we can get. It is the fault of
the people themselves. We are too
lenient, too good natured, too prone to
look lightly, not to say with some
a- sement, on the offender, and of
course this is the charitable view, and
the man who holds It lays the flatter
ing unction to his soul that he is ‘a
good fellow.’ a sympathizer with the
frailties of fellow humans. The man
who so argues makes the mistake of
his life.
“Let the burglar or the murderer or
offender of any sort who lias commit
ted a crime of any moment be sent to
the Tombs, cud it’s only a few days
before he conics to feel he’s a hero and
perfectly entitled to the sympathy and
the flowers and the tokens that begin
to flow in from the sentimental as soon
as the facts become public and he has
gained his little newspaper notoriety.
Maudlin, sentimentality Is aroused.
The criminal gets his picture in the pa
pers. He is a celebrity. His cause is
furthered by the popular ideas that
find expressions in the newspapers, the
magazines md the theaters. There is
a romanticism clinging about him
w’hich is absent from the life of the
well ordered.
“The tardiness of trying prisoners is
responsible for a great many of the
acquittals, for the misplaced sympathy
of the public has had a chance to grow
to proportions suflicient to offset the
terrifying aspects of crime. This must
always be so under the present system
of delay in trials, for which the district
attorney of this county is in no way re
sponsible.
“Our highly technical practice is re
sponsible for much delay. I believe if
we had a revision of the code, longer
prison terms, quicker trials and only
one ■appeal we’d be protecting society
in the most practical way under ths
law.
“But the primary obstacle to the bet
terment of ooudltlons is the foolish at
titude of the people who glorify releas
ed criminals and Ignore those who
have not fallen, but still are in need
of the sympathy tfiat is being wasted
Especially is this true of t£e woman
offender Many love to hear eloquent
discourses on the salvation of the girl
of the streets, I know’ the view I hold
is qot the popular one. but neverthe
less I am firmly of the belief that the
woman of the streets does not reform
any more than does her brother of the
burglar kit and dark lantern. And she
is a most dangerous factor* in the
spread of crime. Most of her class are
thieves, and most of them support
thieves of the opposite sex, aud there
fore their Influence for evil is most
extensive.
“Instead of wasting so much sym
pathy on the girls who have fallen,
why not expend some practical con
sideration on the young w’oman who
may be in danger of falling? This, it
seems to me. would lie the better plan.
The ounce of prevention outweighs
the pound of cure many fold. t
“It is well nigh impossible, in my
opinion, for the shopgirl getting $4 or
$5 a week to live in New York in a
self resjiectlng manner.
"If there were less sympathy and
commiseration for the criminal and
the unfortunate creatures of the
streets and more first aid to the needy,
fhuc6__mlght be less transgresaloo in
the matter of the social evil.”

comforter of tnliiloua. There were
some who picked flaws in the book.
but even these trusted those who lie-
«
lie. I in it and followed Its teachings
And then the auctioneer told a little
story. /
“A man.” he said, “who was travel
ing in a remot? and sparsely settled
part of the country fotind himself over
taken by nightfall at an Isolated farm
house. It was not the most inviting
looking place in the world, but it was
there or nowhere for him. and so he
knocked on the door and asked if he
might stay there for the night, and the
farmer said he could;
“So he went iu, and the farmer and
his wife gave him supper, and after Si
time he v. us ready to go to bed.
“Aud, as a matter of fact, the trav
eler was troubled in his mind, as he
had been, for that matter, from the
moment he saw the fanner. This was
a remote and lonely spot, and the farm
er was a tall, gaunt, silent man with a
furrowed face, and he and bis wife
were all the people iu the household.
And as the traveler dwelt again upon
how far away he was aud upon the
gaunt, silent fanner he recalled all the
stories he had read of men who had
been murdered and robbed in just such
out of the way places, and as the time
came for retiring his fears Increased,
ami when the farmer showed him at
last to his room the traveler was much
troubled, aud he prepared for a sleep
less and watchful night and to defend
himself the best he could if need be.
“He barricaded the door with all the
movable furniture in the room for one
precaution, and he didn’t disrobe him
self, for he wasn’t going to bed. He
was going to sit up all night and
watch. Aud when he 'had made all
his preparations he put out his light
and sat down to keep guard for the
night.
“His own light out. the traveler saw
a little beam of light coming into his
room through a crack in the wall on
the side toward the room where he
bad left the farmer apd his wife, and
to be sure he pretty soon had his eye
to that crack to see what they were do
ing, and there he saw them, the farmer
sitting on one side and his wife on the
other of the table, and !>oth silent.
“But presently the traveler saw the
old man get up and go to a shelf aud
take down a big book, which he laid
upon the table and opened, and then,
bending over the book, the farmer read
from it aloud a chapter from the Bible.
And the reading finished, he closed the
book, and then the farmer and his wife
knelt at their chairs, and the stern
faced mqji prayed.
“And then the traveler, his fears all
gone, took down the barricade from the
door and went to bed to sleep peace
fully and refreshingly, for he knew
that there or anywhere under the roof
of those who iielleved in the book and
lived according to its precepts he was
safe from all harm.”
The auctioneer paused, and for a mo
ment the room was still, and then the 1
auctioneer sp >ke again, saying this
time as be held the book In his hand
