That the Germans are in the pink of condition while England has had too many years of fat prosperity is the opinion of Prof. It. G. Taylor, who received his master's and did work on his doctor's degree while at Chicago University this summer. While there he witnessed the first bona fide war Alms from behind the German lines and heard the staff correspondent of the Chicago News, just back from Europe, speak. According to the war correspondent, the Germans have turned the country into one big fac tory for supplies and while arrogant and justly deserving a lacing, they will be mighty -tough picking. Eng land has bad too many years of fat prosperity and signs of decay were evident when it required all of Eng land's power to subdue the Boers back in 1902. "If the Germans win," said Prof. Taylor, "we can expect to swallow our pertinent notes and let the Teutons cut their swath in the world's af fairs. Germany does not want any territory in America provided that she can get in the old world and sell us goods at a profit.' Kansas State Col legian.

Joel Pomerene, U. of N. 13, now practicing law in Portland, Ore., stopped off in Omaha for a few hours' visit last week. Pomerene was on his way to Erie, Pa., to take some depositions in an important litigation where several hundred thousand dol lars -are involved. He will be in Omaha on his return next week-Omaha- Nebraskan. A woman, in search of a certain kind of basket, made the salesman take down every article of that na ture on the shelves except two. Then she said, as she turned away: "I only came to look for one of my friends." "Madam," said the weary salesman, "if you have the slightest idea that your friend is in either of the other two baskets, I shall be pleased to take them down." Omaha Nebraskan.

CALDWELL VISITS FAR WEST Found Peach Twelve Inches In Circumference Other Rare Ex periences Related Prof. Howard W. Caldwell visited the far western states this summer, where he enjoyed himself hugely throughout the hot season. He went to Portland, Ore., first and from there he traveled by degrees to Southern California. After leaving Portland he went to visit a relative in the Cascade moun tains. There the scenery was wonder ful; Prof. Caldwell can only compare it with that in Glacier, Canada, or with Swiss scenery. From the hut where he stayed he could see in every direction some of the grand peaks cf the Cascade range. Fifty miles straight north rose the majestic Adams peak, while fifty-five miles in the opposite direction rose its mate, Mount Hood. Far away in the west, towered the three ice-capped peaks known as the Saint Helens. The air was wonderfully refreshing and Prof. Caldwell says that his short stay there quite rejuvenated him. But Prof. Caldwell did not spend all his time there, admiring the scenery. ,H worked. Prof. Caldwell could I hardly be pictured as a lumber jack, ,ut for a whole month he helped his cousin clear five acres' of timber land. I He worked so hard that his hands be Icame blistered and bloody, paining him !at every motion. Prof. Caldwell con fessed that he himself cut down trees nearly ten inches in diameter. From there, he proceeded to Shasta Springs, which he describes as well worth seeing. Leaving this town, he went to Willows. Here he was enter tained by Miss Lucile Eaves, former associate professor of Sociology in this institution. After a short stay, he went to visit his father and sister, who run a 40-acre peach orchard there. His father had raised some ex cellent fruit at that place. Prof Caldwell found a peach twelve inches in circumference on one of the trees. His father had nine acres of these big peaches. Besides this he had five acres planted in peaches which he dried each year. But the year prev ious he had no market for them. So he had fenced them off and put 150 hogs in there this year and fed them the peaches. The ground averaged about 100 trees to the acre, making therefore at least 500 trees in the en closure. From here, Prof. Caldwell went to Sacramento, where he stayed two days. After that he visited Berkeley, where he was entertained by Frank Philbrick, professor of law, and a for mer student of Nebraska. Here he also attended the foundation of a new $800,000 building for the University of California. Then Prof. Caldwell went to San Francisco to see the exposition. He stayed three days there. According to him the external displays at the exposition were very fine, but the ex Dosition itself was not any better than that of Chicago or St. Louis. The next stopping place was San Jose. Here Prof. Caldwell was entertained by ex-Regent Allen. The following day, Prof. Caldwell arrived In Loscados, where he trted his hand at picking prunes. He was not ready to state how many bushels h liad nicked, but he judged. that he had picked about 90 cents' worth. He said that there was a boy picking there who had earned $2.10 the day before he came. The next day he helped him "and the boy got $3.00 for his day's work. . In connection with this, Prof. Cald well handed' the California Japanese some days. He said that tne japs were the acknowledged champion prune pickers in California. The fruit growers paid them about $3.75 for every ton of prunes picked, and a good Japanese picker could easily pick a ton and a half. Prof. Caldwell stayed here a week. He said that he had three good friends there and each one of them had a car. So he enjoyed numerous auto mobile rides and picnics. From this charming town, Prof. Caldwell went to Los Angeles and San Diego. In this latter city he was en tertained at a banquet given in his honor by the Nebraska Alumri re siding there. Prof. Caldwell's impression of Cal ifornia, leaving out the valleys, which were charming, was one of desolation. He said there was so much barren and waste land there, that he did not believe that California could surpass either Nebraska nor Iowa in produc tion. Among other things he also added that if one wished to make a living one should stay in Nebraska. But after one has made his living and wished to live, one should go to California. Pasadena, Prof. Caldwell declared, is the most beautiful town in California, and Hollywood, which is practically a part of Los Angeles, is second. Los Angeles, Prof. Caldwell declared, is full of life and pep. There are 47, 000 automobiles in Los Angeles coun ty. In the city of that name, there are so many of them that it is not unusual to see the main street so crowded with cars that all must move only in in stallments. Prof. Caldwell complained of the ab normal warmth there this summer. When he was in Los Angeles the ther mometer climbed past 103 degrees one afternoon. He also stated that San Diego was a beautiful place. The harbor resem bles that of Naples. Prof. Caldwell twice missed hearing Bryan. Once in Spokane he left a day before Mr. Bryan arrived and once in Portland, when he arrived one day after Bryan left. The return trip was made via Santa Fe. Prof. Caldwell states that everybody should make the trip if for nthing else than the scenery. PERSONAL C. A. Sorenson, '13, Law '15, is practicing law in Grand Island.
