IN PEACE PREPARE FOR WAR MILITARY CIRCLES DISCUSSING NATIONAL DEFENSE Land Forces of Government Increased by Addition of 115,000 National Guardsmen, Who In Time of War Will Become Members of the Regular Army—Their Equipment Within the past few months the final momentous step has been taken by Congress which adds 115,000 men to the Regular Army for war. This increase by more than 100 per cent. in the land power of the United States — an act of such tremendous importance that only war will bring a realization of its true significance home to any considerable number of our people — is the result of a movement carried on quietly but persistently in all of the States for many years by National Guardsmen and patriotic citizens outside of that service. It is a movement which has never been halted, though its progress has been impeded by obstructions, delays, political and sentimental objections, and every device of opposition that the mind can conceive, not forgetting the traditionary indifference of Americans to military preparation. Yet, so high has the tide of national feeling risen in this new age of greater America, that it has overflowed and burst through and swept away all resistance. Only a small fraction of our people realize that the citizen soldier of the nation is no longer an irregular, with irregular arms, irregular equipment, irregular organization, irregular methods, and irregular connections or no connections at all, with the fighting forces of the nation; but that other enlistment papers, be mustered in, and required to do other foolish and unnecessary things, the doing of which would actually involve tearing down the force of which I am a part and constructing a new one from the fragments. "I do not like that. I enlisted in the militia because I was fond of military life, and to fit myself for competent service in war. I do not want to serve in the Regular Army. I wish to pursue my ordinary civil occupations during peace, devoting meanwhile enough time to my military duties to fit me for war service. "But when war comes I want to be taken as part of the first line with the Regular Army, to fight and, if need be, to die, wherever the country needs me. And I want to go as part of the organization to which I belong, the 1st Wisconsin or the 1st Florida, as part of the 2nd brigade or the 1st division, the organization which I have helped to build up and to make an effective military machine. Wherever I go I want my State name to go with me. I desire my State to recruit men at home from my own locality, to fill the places of comrades who have fallen. "I want a guarantee that the work I do during peace, at the armory, in the maneuver field, or upon the rifle range, is to count for something. I have to make many sacrifices to my National Guard service, for every hour spent in these duties takes me from my civil employments or my pleasures. But I am willing to make these sacrifices, glad to make them, if I can be sure that they will make me of use to the country. "All I ask of you, Uncle Sam, in return, is the guarantee of which I have spoken and sufficient appropriations to assist my State to organize, arm, discipline, and equip me as..." Only a small fraction of our people realize that the citizen soldier of the nation is no longer an irregular, with irregular arms, irregular equipment, irregular organization, irregular methods, and irregular connections or no connections at all, with the fighting forces of the nation; but that he is today as truly a national soldier for war as if he were in the Regular Army, although he retains his ordinary civil status and is still able to claim the honor of being a defender of his own home and the laws of his own State as a soldier of the State. Yet he is not such a burden to the taxpayer as the member of a standing army must be, for he costs his country practically nothing, save in time of actual war. Under the beneficient operation of the Federal acts passed in 1903 and 1906, to increase the efficiency of the militia, supplemented and given final force and effect by the Act of ayM 27, 1908, the 115,000 men of the National Guard now use the same rifle as the Regular Army, have the same organization, the same drill instruction and methods of administration, and, most important of all, are liable to the same service on the order of the President, in the event of war, as the Regular Army. It is not only by building the second navy in the world that we have been making military history, but, while the fleet in 's peaceful voyage around the world has been giving visible evidence of our possession of a navy second only to one other, Congress has taken the final step in making soldiers of our National Guard until that force is now a "national army" of real and great value. For the first time in the history of the United States our National Guard is part of the first line of defense with the Regular Army, ready in every way for service in war wherever the President under the authority of Congress may wish to employ it, for such a time as the country may require its services. For the first time, a National Militia Board, created by Congress to advise and consult with the Secretary of War upon all questions affecting the National Guard, is in existence. For the first time in the history of a nation there is a Military Division of the War Department, which I have to make many sacrifices to my National Guard service, for every hour spent in these duties takes me from my civil employments or my pleasures. But I am willing to make these sacrifices, glad to make them, if I can be sure that they will make me of use to the country. "All I ask of you, Uncle Sam, in return, is the guarantee of which I have spoken and sufficient appropriations to assist my State to organize, arm, discipline, and equip me as your regular soldiers are organized, armed, disciplined and equipped." A generous offer. A patriotic proposition. An unselfish, public-spirited request, is it not? And mark you well, it was made, not in the stirring times of war, when roll of drum and pipe of fife rouse all men with real blood in their veins, not when the nation was under immediate threat of harm from another, not when insult by an aggressor had made all see red, but in just plain everyday, piping times of peace. It was a free-will offering, a voluntary, self-initiated proposal, begot of hard sense and clear reasoning from cause to effect. No grander example of a noble national sentiment has ever been disclosed to the world. The nations of the earth may well hesitate to attack a country which has sons like these. The United States has newly come into her own as the most important factor in the world's progress. She is charged with tremendous responsibilities as the conservator of the interests of millions of helpless people beyond her borders. She is marvelously rich and naturally strong, but without intelligent desire or adequate plan to employ either, she has been as pitiful in her non-appreciation of her position as a lost kitten on Broadway. For her now there can be no turning back. She has passed to the center of the mad rush of world traffic; a thousand destroying influences surround her from which she must be protected. The destiny of this nation depends upon what shall be done to qualify her for her tasks. Whether she shall go down to oblivion a failure full-branded, or rise to heights undreamed of in the calculations of counselors, depends upon her own immediate actions. A nation unprepared to defend the lives and the property of her citizens by force of arms is, in this fiercely competitive age, as foredoomed to pain and deadly peril as he who dares the wintry blasts in garments of gauze.

For the first time, a National Militia Board, created by Congress to advise and consult with the Secretary of War upon all questions affecting the National Guard, is in existence. For the first time in the history of a nation there is a Military Division of the War Department, which concerns itself exclusively with the affairs of the National Guard, and helps to bring that organization closer to the Regular Army and better prepare it for war. These changes were accomplished chiefly through the efforts of the National Guardsman. His was the brain which conceived them, his spirit which initiated them, his energy which accomplished them. Consider what these changes mean to the National Guardsman. He virtually said to the United States when he asked that they be made: "Here I am. I know something of soldiering and I wish to learn more. I realize that when war comes events move swiftly and the country cannot afford to wait. By the law under which I am now serving you can take me for only nine months' war service, and under precedents well established you cannot send me outside of the United States. I know what that means, because I have seen what has happened at the outbreak of former wars. "Either I would be temporarily employed and then sent home, just as I commenced to be valuable, or else you would not accept me as a militiaman at all, but require me to enlist in a newly formed volunteer army, to enter which I should have to undergo another physical examination, sign upon what shall be done to qualify her for her tasks.

A nation unprepared to defend the lives and the property of her citizens by force of arms is, in this fiercely competitive age, as foredoomed to pain and deadly peril as he who dares the wintry blasts in garments of gauze. We Americans have sat too long at the feet of those vainglorious patrons of our "impregnable security," our "undying patriotism," and our "match less military ardor." There never was a time in our history when we were secure. We are not now secure, but we are nearer to security now than ever before. From the cloistered quiet which surrounded us as a sequestered nation, with few foreign interests and entanglements, we have passed out into the midst of a field as full of pitfalls as the ocean is full of waves: pitfalls no more to be avoided without struggles than are those same gray wolves of the sea. The great mass of the American people, bearing in their veins many blends of the strongest, hardest most adventurous blood of the races of men, is naturally brave, but with the bravery of an untaught child. We have ever tried to live at peace with all mankind, but we will not yet fully see, though we are beginning to do so, that peace can be ours only at a price, and that price; preparación. The advocate of military readiness has been greeted with contumely and contempt, while the ranter who panders to our pride by dilating upon our invincibility is hailed as a patriot.

NEW SEEDS AND PLANTS Distribution Now Being Made At Berkeley The article on Distribution of Seeds and Plants, published in these columns last week, attracted universal attention throughout the valley, and a number of inquiries regarding the same have been made. The following paragraphs, which were unavoidably omitted in getting to press, will be found important in connection with what has already appeared upon this subject: SQUASHES Yellow Summer Crookneck.—This vegetable is one which is so well appreciated by most people and is of such exceedingly easy culture, that it has become one of the most commonly grown vegetables we have.The seed which is offered by seedsmen is generally of very good quality both in respect to its germinative ability and also the inherent fruit characters. If stocks are at all lacking in desirable features, it is usually in the matter of productiveness. This comes about largely because of the tendency on the part of seedsmen to save their seed from perfect fruits without paying much attention as to whether the fruits came from free fruiting plants or not. The result of this practice is that the seed often carries good inherent qualities in respect to the type of fruit borne, but the strain is apt to be somewhat shy in fruit bearing. We have been making a special endeavor to overcome this prevalent trait, not only to secure a stock which has finely shaped fruits of good size, but which is also prolific in the production of fruit. Probably the only feature where our seed is markedly superior to that offered by seedsmen is in this latter attribute, but this is of sufficient importance to make our seed thorough- The Intelligent Mule. "Some people think mules haven't much intelligence, but I know they have," was the way a commercial traveler interrupted a story teller. "Now, take the town I come from. While I was home on a visit last year the place was all wrought up over the systematic stealing of flowers from the graves in our leading cemetery. The thing had been going on some time, and the people were shocked, of course. Finally a guard was posted and the thief captured, and the thief was a mule. "It didn't take long to get at all the facts. It seems that a certain woman living near the cemetery had held up the mule's owner, who was beating the animal, prosecuted him for cruelty, then bought the mule and turned it out to pasture. The mule was so grateful to the woman that every night it would jump the pasture fence, go into the cemetery, pick up the freshest bunch of flowers it could find, carry them to the woman's house and deposit them on the front stoop, where she would find them in the morning. Now, when you talk of intelligence in animals" "Good night," said the man whom the commercial traveler had interrupted. The Top Hat. Tall hats, "pearkin up like the spire of a steeple a quarter of a yard above the crowne," as a sixteenth century writer describes them, were known in the time of Elizabeth, and the Purlans affected them until they merged into the old fashioned beavers of our great-grandfathers' days. Top hats of silk appeared first in Florence about 1800, and twenty years later silk hats with felt bodles were introduced into England. About 1840 the French silk hat was placed on the market and at once adopted in the familiar "chimney pot" shape. There were several varieties of it, such as the Wellington hat, with the yeoman crown; the Anglesea hat, bell shaped at the top, and the D'Orsay hat, with ribbed silk binding... Story of the Murder of Groce and Cannon The execution of the two Americans Groce and Cannon by orders of President Zelaya of Nicaragua makes a story well calculated to make an American's blood boil. That the monster who committed the diabolical deed should have been permitted to escape from Corinto in a Mexican gunboat, when a superior force of American warcraft was lying in the harbor is cause sufficient to make one hang his head in shame. The murder recalls the assassination of the crew of the Virginus at Santiago, Cuba, a generation ago. That affair brought the United States and Spain to the brink of war, but it was many years before that Spain was humbled in the very port where Cervera took refuge. Here is the story as telegraphed from Nicaragua: "Groce and Cannon were notified of the death sentence at 10:30 on the night of November 15. They were executed at 10 o'clock the following morning. As they marched out of the fortress a drizzle of rain fell. On the way to the scene of the execution, they passed the open graves that had been prepared for them. At one time Groce stepped out of the line of march and pleaded with Gen. Medina: "Do not shoot me; I am a brother Mason." Cannon quickly seized his companion, and, pulling him back into line, said: "Brace up, old man; we have no chance under Zelaya's orders." Standing in the center of the square formed by 100 soldiers, the two men heard their sentences read from the four corners, together with the usual warning in such cases: "Anyone displaying evidence of sympathy will be shot in a similar fashion." The hands of the condemned men were bound, and their eyes blindfolded. Cannon shook his head, attempting to prevent the bandage being placed over his face, but his protest was unavailing. They were seated on a low bench side by side. The firing squad was made up of twelve soldiers, who advanced in three rows within six feet of their victims. Capt. Constantino Saenz, in command, instructed two soldiers at the right to fire upon Groce, and two soldiers at the left to fire on Cannon. All four bullets were effective. Groce was shot through the heart and death was instantaneous. The bullets intended for Cannon tore the breast carries good inherent qualities in respect to the type of fruit borne, but the strain is apt to be somewhat shy in fruit bearing. We have been making a special endeavor to overcome this prevalent trait, not only to secure a stock which has finely shaped fruits of good size, but which is also prolific in the production of fruit. Probably the only feature where our seed is markedly superior to that offered by seedsmen is in this latter attribute, but this is of sufficient importance to make our seed thoroughly desirable to those who care to grow this most popular vegetable. Seed in packets, 5c each, postpaid. SELECTED HUBBARD The Hubbard Squash is a time-honored garden favorite and the liking for it as a vegetable is shared by most people. What has been said above about the seedsman's method of selecting Yellow Summer Crook-neck Squash is also true of the Hubbard. The strains upon the market are apt to produce very fine individual fruits, but to be lacking in the ability to produce a large number of fruits to the plant. The seed we offer has been bred not only to produce fine individual fruits, but also to be prolific in their production, and it is this combination of valuable attributes that makes our strain particularly commendable. Seed in packets, 5c each, postpaid. A BUG-PROOF FIELD SQUASH In February, 1909, Harrison Fowler of Turlock, Stanislaus county, called our attention to the fact that the previous year he had secured, from some source not indicated, seed of a field squash of which he grew several tons and found it to be, as represented, practically safe from the attacks of the squash bug which defies most insecticides. Mr. Fowler picturesquely describes his experience in this way: "My ground was full of bugs and the bugs crawled over the vines just as I saw them on other squash vines, but they did not seem to suck the juice, for I never saw a vine that appeared to be hurt by them." He fattened hogs upon the squashes and found them long-keepers—in fact he had them in good shape for feeding until April. They are very hard shelled. In addition to stock value they are good for culinary uses. Seed in packets, 5c each, postpaid. ONION Selected Long-Keeping Danver's Yellow Globe.

THE SPEED OF LIGHT. Light holds the record for high speed among all moving things that have been measured. It travels at the rate of 328,028,800 yards a second. This is faster than thinking even by the most quick witted person. Let any reader try to think the simplest thought and then with the aid of a stop watch note how long it has taken him to think it. He will then be able to understand how slow his mental operations are compared to the speed of light. IN Old Bohemia.

Zelaya should be extradited from the City of Mexico, and punished for his atrocious deed. NEW DEPUTY CLERK County Clerk W. B. Williams added a deputy to his office on Jan. 1. The new man was Gilbert D. Williamson of Santa Ana, son of G. G. Williamson of Villa Park, formerly of Santa Ana. Under the new salary act, provision is made for the payment of a salary by the county to the deputy of the county clerk's office who attends the superior court. J. C. Burke, who has been a deputy under Williams ever since Williams went into office three years ago, continues to attend to those duties. Williamson was placed in charge of the registration books. During the year coming this work will be big, as the books must be kept in shape for both the primary and general elections, as well as for the city elections, nearly every city in the county having an election in 1910. Williamson is 25 years of age. ONION Selected Long-Keeping Danver's Yellow Globe.—Last year we sent out a strain of Danver's Yellow Globe onion, which we claimed was superior to that upon the market, both in respect to its being absolutely true to type and in its having a natural tendency to produce a large bulb. Judging from the many requests which are coming to hand for more seed, we believe that our offering of last season was appreciated, and so we this year make a further offer of this fine strain, which in addition to all the good traits possessed by last year's stock has the valuable one of long-keeping. It is quite a noticeable feature that, as a rule, the larger the onion bulb, the less is its keeping qualities, and as we consider that the quality of long-keeping is a very valuable asset in an onion variety, besides size of bulb, we have directed our attention to the task of combining these two features. The strain we now offer has no pretensions to be considered ideal in this respect, but it undoubtedly has two desirable traits combined in a much greater degree than most stocks which are obtainable. Seed in packets, 5c each, postpaid. PROMPT ORDERS DESIRED Application with the amount specified for each variety ordered, should be made as soon as this announcement is received.
