Morocco People Not Pelased On Fruit Farms in California.

The Morocco Courier tells of the return from California after a winter’s stay of J. W. .Smart and wife. Mr. Smart brought with him an air salsa root which resembles, accord- , ing to The Courier,' the root of a good sized osage orange tree. Mr. Smart said the alfalfa roots had been known to grow 200 feet long. The crop there is cut from 6 to 7 times a year and this year the hay sold for $2 to $5 per ton. Mr. Smart indicated that persons who had left Morocco and located in California were not getting along very well. In fact, he cited the case of Z. H. Russell, whom he said had lost SB,OOO in the past two years and was sick and despondent. Hiram Gragg does not like it there and is not doing well financially and desires to sell out and return to the east. There was no market for the fruit 'last year and fine vineyards and apple and peach orchards are being destroyed and the ground put in alfalfa. Mr. Smart visited B. F. Roadruck a few days before Mr. Roadruck’s : > death.

Visiting Day at the Rensselaer Public Schools.

To the patrons of the public schools: As you no doubt remember the Patrons’ Day in the public schools last year was Thursday, February 26th. On that date more than two hundred people visited the schools, but it was the opinion of many that had it been a little later in the year many more would have visited. This year the date is later, being this coming Friday, April 9th. We are sending you this note to remind you that the time is almost here and we are expecting you to spend a part of the day with us. You will be welcome in any of the buildings and rooms. For the convenience of all, will say that the primary building has the first five grades. The grammar or old high school building, the sixth, seventh and eighth grades, also the domestic science and commercial departments, while the new high school building has the high school and manual training departments. The work to be given Friday will be the regular school and not special work’ for that day. In the high school, the last period in the day, beginning at 2:45 p. m., will be given over to one of the regular literary programs which will be in charge of Mrs. Alice Shedd Randle, assisted by Catherine Watson. Besides giving you a chance to see regular, school work we are anxious to have you here for the following reasons: a. To become better acquainted with the teachers. b. To see what we are trying to do. c. To arouse more of an interest in the schools. d. To have you offer any suggestions regarding the work of the schools. Pupils will be on duty in the halls in the different buildings to assist visitors in finding rooms and teachers. If you can only stay fifteen minutes we will be glad to have you stay that long, but stay longer if you can. C. R. DEAN.

Growing Sentiment Among Traveling Men for Temperance.

The writer has met about all the traveling men who are regular visitors in this city and it is not an uncommon thing now for the liquor question to come up fdr discussion when several are riding in the bus to and from the station. It is noticeable that there has been a growing expression among these busy men in favor of the abolition of saloons and for national prohibition, and it is very jarely that any traveling salesman champions the cause of the liquor traffic.

The time was only a few years back when traveling men had to invite merchants out to have a few drinks before they could sell a bill of goods. Now if a traveling man was to show up in a store with the odor of whisky on his breath he would be ordered from the store. Both were at fault some ten or twenty years ago and both have come out of the old habit and they now disapprove it with equal ardor. The reform is very pleasing. We have always looked upon the traveling salesman as a barometer in the matter of indicating political and business conditions and even moral matters. During the summer and fall of 1912 there were a great many of them enthusiastically progressive and the wiser ones knew that there could be only one result in that campaign and that was democratic success. Last fall they were about all republican and they foretold of republican success. They are republican still and they are impatient for the time when a change can be made and a fair* tariff law passed. They see the beauties and happiness in the small dry cities of the state and they know that the saloon and the liquor business have no place in the economic make-up of the country. They know, as one remarked only this morning when he commented on the appearance of Renssealer, that a man who spends his hours loafing in a saloon can not rake his lawn and tend his garden and grow flowers and give thought to the beautiful, the healthful and the right. “I lived in a dry state for five years,” remarked another traveling man, “and I know that there is no defense for the saloons. They should be rooted out and the entire traffic banished from the land.” The traveling men see things in their keen business judgment long before they come and they expect that many of us will live to see the day when there will be no saloons, no breweries, no distilleries, and when the jails and insane hospitals and poor asylums will be almost vacated. The advent of woman’s suffrage will hasten that desirable end. It placed many Illinois cities in the dry column Tuesday and it will banish the saloons from Indiana if adopted. Temperance people should not be modest. Don’t hesitate to proclaim your convictions. Be charitable in your treatment of the subject but leave no doubt about how you stand, and your influence will help throw off the thraldom that has held our fair nation back for generations.
