THE
EXCHANGES
. 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. The Alumni association of the class
of 1909 has" collected some interesting

A woman, in search of a certain

"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.
