CORRESPONDENT recalls the pioneer effort made A by The Call for a free market, in which the producer and consumer of fruits and vegetables can come into immediate relations. The Call led public sentiment to de- mand such a market, and after a long struggle a law was passed empowering the Harbor Commission to furnish fa- We are not aware of any action on the part of the Har- hor Commission to evade the law or refuse the facilities it srovides. Yet there is no market on the designated dock where producer and consumer come together, ana the cur- rent rates of domestic supplies of fruits and vegetables fur- nish evidence that the consumer is being squeezed, but not for the benefit of the producer. It is the same condition that prompted The Call's first zction in this matter. As an illustration of what then ex- sted, we showed that a grower of sweet potatoes had to let T tic building at the Midwinter Fair in Sc. Francisco. A permanent exhibit was maintained in Chicago for two years which was visited by half a million people. A most suc- | cessful display of products was made by the Chamber of Commerce at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo in 1901, the secretary of the chamber remaining in Buffalo dur- ing the entire period of the exposition. “Other exhibits have been made by the Chamber of Com- merce at Hamburg, at Guatemala, at Atlanta, at Omaha, at the World's Fair in Paris and at many other places. “The chamber maintains a permanent exhibit in the Board of Trade rooms in San Francisco.” The manifold advantages of adequate display by the coun- ties of Califomfa_at ?QL Louis simply emphasiz:.th: Ineed (?f B i srhetes o that day, but| permanent exhibits in Jarge centers of population in Call-!"

That we have such a display the splendid work of the State Board of Trade amply attests. This is what Arthur R. Briggs, manager of | the State Board ef Trade, had to say on this subject in The } Call, and his words should be heeded by the progressive | people of every county in California. In part he said: | “No one can form anything like a correct estimate of the wonderful resources and marvelous productiveness of the State without seeing and investigating for himself.

As the thumb falls on F, the second finger is again raised, and falls in its turn on G. Then the third finger strikes A (still emitting no sound), the fourth falls on B, and the fifth finger (ittle) takes the only note left to it (€) and so completes the octave. . e The thumb takes the place of lhei fourth finger, on F, and as the thumb is lowered over the note the other four fingers fall at once into position on the remaining four note: In affecting this sleight of hand move- ment, . the hand must not for an instant be thrown out of posi- = | S0 to i ) 11 | | | | ! - ——— x| DESCENDING SCALE, THIRD ‘L FINGER OVER. | * —_— —4 tion. The arch of the knuckles must remain perfect, and hand, fingers, wrist and arm must be perfectly relaxed. The thumb, while in its upraised position under the hollow of the hand, must keep as free and easy of action as | when it is in its natural position on | the key. It is important that the pupil | should understand the exact position | of the thumb when held under the hand in this position. It should be almost at | right angles from its ordinary playing position, and yet the knuckles should be curved as always, and not allowed to become displaced. { The sweeping motion, . which brings | sition over to F, all comes from the tip of the thumb, in the same way as does the lifting motion of the thumb in the two-finger exercise. It is pre- cisely the same thing, except that one motion is vertical and the other lateral, R As soon as the thumb is in place on the key of F make a revolution or two of the circle motion to insure perfect freedom, and then let the fingers con- tinue their way up the scale to C, al- ways counting “one, two, three” be- | tween each two movements of the fingeds, taking plenty of time between each two strokes to see that everything is working correctly, but making the stroke itself as rapid as possible in each case. When the highest note of the octave has been successfully reached start down again by striking B with the fourth finger and so on. All will be plain sailing until the thumb (striking F) is reached. The moment the thumb hits F the third (middle) finger rises, and, still keeping its curved position, moves over the thumb to the left until it stands up- raised (but still curved) over E. The other fingers slip lightly along with it, but do not change their curved posi- tion in the meantime. The third finger is now once more in its old place, over E, bringing the sec- ond finger over D and the thumb over C; =0 the rest of the descent is simple enough, always remembering to follow all the rules. . s . In both the ascending and descending scale there is a decided lateral motion of the wrist. In the ascending scale it heips the thumb at the moment when the thumb having moved up under the hand until it stands over F, it drops upon the key and the wrist motion brings the hand along until each fin- ger stands free, in playing position again. In descending the scale the wrist does almost all the work inbringing the third finger into position, and with it the hand. Get the child to concentrate his thought on his wrist as much as possible right here. The “imaginary string,” pulling the wrist sideways, will help, and a few trials of the “wa- ter motion™ will make it easier f~+ him, | make a market there | plied with proper fa | purpose for their fruit and vegetable supply.

Such was the custom in the remote time | when those cities were villages, and it is a fixed habit that followed their growth. But it seems never to have been the custom here. How shall it be made so? If organization among the producers will do it, they They have an excellent organization al- the largely has should organize. ready in the Grange. It is found in nearly every rural neighborhood. It holds annual State conventions. Its purpose is to promote the social side of rural life and defend rural industries against unjust aggression. Why is not this relation of producer to consumer a proper object of its solicitude? We have certain city or- ganizations. One, we believe, is composed of ladies who refuse to trade at stores where the women help are not sup- ilities for resting, but are compelled to stand on their feet all day long. That is a praiseworthy Why cannot such an organization agree to go marketing to the free market, or to take household supplies from the peddlers and distributers who get their stock in that market? 2 As the original supporter of the free market, The Cail points out the impolicy of rushing to the conclusion that its failure is due to the non-action’ of the Harbor Commission, which we think is not the case. To put the blame there is to continue what we think will be found to be the real cause—the inertia of the producers themselves. When that is overcome the market will appear. e e e To the men who go down to the sea in ships these are sad times of wreck, disaster and death. The storm god that is bringing rain and life to the.fields and farms is clothing the coasts with a pall of gloom out of which are dashed the mangled shapes of ships and men. To this story of the seasons there are always two sides, BY OUR WORKS WE ARE KNOWN., HE time is fast approaching when at the St. Louis T Fxposition California must take her place among her sister States and, in the stern competition among them and the nations of the earth, be judged. By her works and not by what she may say of herself the State will be known. What she has done in her fields and fasms, in her orchards and vineyards, will tell the story of her value to the secker after wealth and contentment. How her people have labored in the arts and sciences, what she has of re- fining, healthy civilization will be the test that will attract or repel desirabie settlers who want conditions better than their own. It is 2 duty, therefore, of the highest moment for every county of the State to co-operate heartily and enthusiastically with the commissioners of California to this great sample emporium of the world's best things. Every endeavor must be made to make California’s display what it easily can be— the best in the United States. We have wealth beyond com- pare and must show it that our words may not seem idle boasting. It is from actual things, exhibits, visibie, tangible proof that the world judges, and these we must supply. Our products themselves are our best praise. They speak more eloquently than volumes of statistics or catalogues of boasted advantages. Perhaps the virtues of exhibits, occa- sional and permanent have been most worthily recited in the statement in The Call by Frank Wiggins, sec- retary of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce. On this vitally important subject Mr. Wiggins wrote as follows: “Besides maintaining a permanent exhibit of California products in its own quarters, which has been visited by over a million people, the chamber has had charge of and partici- pated in four local citrus fairs. The orange carnival in Chi- cago was visited by 100,000 people. Regular shipments of fruit were made to ‘California on Wheels,” a traveling ex- hibit visited by a million people. The Southern California exhibit in the World’s Columbian Exposition was admitted to be one of the finest State exhibits there, and was visited by an immense number of people, - “A fine Southern California display was made in an arti- | qui b and agricultural wealth of the State. These object lessons give to many people information that cannot be obtained in any other way except by personal observation and travel through the State. > “The State Board of Trade has never thought, nor does it now think, that the highest function is to stimulate a large movement of people into the State, without reierence to their-condition, unless intelligent direction is given newcom- ers after they are here, that they may in selecting future homes do sc with judgment and wisdom and become con- tented and prosperous citizens. ¥ “In this direction the State board stands alone—so far as the central and northern parts of the State are concerned. istics do not give all the information required by secker; statistics are valuable and often important, need tc he supported with general information in lost his hold.

P “Come in,” he said, and in walked a newsboy with the afternoon papers. The Judge purchased one, and then, forgetful of the decument awaiting his signature, commenced to read. 1 Suddenly he reached for the blank de- | cree, gazed sharply at the- title® and then at the newspaper.

Railroads and Territories. Inspection of the new committee list will show that in no other case do the assignments of the two Senators from a State show as exact application to the requirements of a constituency as theirs. It is no easy matter to make a happy allotment of the Senators to committees. There are fifty-five standing com- mittees of the Senate and ninety members to be placed. Each party names its members to each committee, the ma- jority, of course, taking the majority of each and leaving the lesser number to the minority. There are fiity-seven Republican Senators for placement on fifty-five committees. As their party has upon it the responsibility that goes with power, the assignment ig no easy task. The people of this State are to be congratulated that they fare so well. The most noteworthy change in the Senate committees is the passing of Senator Morgan from the chairmanship of Interoceanic Canals. This was foreshadowed in his long and vigorous fight against the Panama route. The Republican Senate had kept him at the head of that committee, in recog- nition of the' great interest of the South in a canal. But when his personal views became so indurated and stubborn that he seemed incapable of looking over them to the broader issue involved, he naturally took on the character of | an obstructionist. In that capacity, soon after the meeting of the present session, he attacked the administration in the Panama matter, and no one will more readily recognize the propriety of retiring from the head of the committee than | he. It is necessary to the construction of the canal that the chairman of the committee shall work in harmony with the -administration. The miny will doubtless’give to Sena- tor Morgan a place on the committee, where it is to be hoped he will be at last found working in harmony for the success of the project. : In a court controversy in Santa Rosa an attorney sought to demonstrate a few days since that a hasty marriage is proof conclusive of insanity.

Her father, she was fond of telling, was bootmaker to George III, and it was in the vicinity of Hampton Court Palace that she frequently saw that potentate in the course of the rambles about the neighborhood which history describes Farmer George as fond of taking. ‘Mrs. Harrison was a handsome and .prlymy young girl when George III died, but her recollection of him went back to the time when she was a little child and when one day as the King met her in his rambles he stopped and spoke to her, and chucked her under the chin, as Mrs. Harrison always re- lated in recalling the incident. “It was not until she was a married woman of 36 years that she came with her husband to this country, and for sixty-four years—longer than the aver- \ rally round their sovereign in moments when the latter were in open conflict | with their people—that is to say, with the state—while it was solely due to the loyalty of the army to the monarch and to its preferring its allegiance to the crown to its obligations to the peo- ple that the rulers of Holland, Prussia, Baden, Saxony, Austria and other states were able to save their thronmes from being engulfed by the great wave of popular revolution that swept over Europe In 1848.
