AMERICAN LOVE Americans love excitement. 'We are a nervous lot.
OF EXCITEMENT anyway and we want something new all of the time.
It takes us a shorter time than any other people on earth to get tired of what
we have and to stretch out into the unknown for something else.
We learn it in our business. We learn it in our everyday life. The con
stant demand for something that we haven't got, something that is entirely
new and different is a characteristic of the people of America as it is of no
other jieople on earth. -
That constant yearning for the new things, for the unattainable, drove
Peary to the discovery of the North Pole. It has lead the greatest minds of
modern science into hitherto unexplored fields. It has sent our business men
ahead .of all others of modern times. It has made us, as a people, the richest
nation on earth. It has amassed our great fortunes ; given us the control of
the world's financial markets; driven us to the conquering of empires; sent
us into the fields of science unexplored ; given us a lead in medicine and taken
us by the hand and placed us at the top in literature of modern times.
What have we not accomplished in recent years through this constant
yearing for -the unknown, for the unattainable ?
It gave us Edison. It has given us the inventors whose works have rev
olutionized the world's methods of business and have created new industries
and displaced the old. The ambition for new things gave us the steam boat,
the cotton gin, the electric light, the graphaphone, the railroad. It has given
us the aeroplane, the Gatling gun, the Maxim silencer, the submarine.
In fact, the national lead that America maintains over the countries of
the world is due, entirelv, to that inborn love of excitement and adventure
that makes of every American an explorer and of every citizen an adventurer,
The old thrills of the cfrcus pale on us when we have once seen the death
defying leaps. The old theatrical forms fail to arouse our interest after we
' have once visited the stage where they
managers produce something else for us that will send the cold chills down
our backs and hold us in breathless suspense for hours at a time. But we al
ways want the stories to come out rigrt in the end and the hero to take the
maiden fair in his arms and march off to the minister's and have the knot tied
while we wait. That's our style. That's one of the characteristics of the
American people, generally. We are not like the old Roman warriors who
wanted their fun in the ampitheater where the gladitators fought and killed
each other, but, in a different way, we are justas thirsty for excitement as
. were they.
That's the reason the theatrical managers and the heads of the various
- moving picture companies annually spend millions of money to furnish those
thrills for us and to give us something that is a little more of a sensation than
the last one that we had. Thousands of dollars are paid by these great com-
panies yearly for new ideas that they believe will take with the people
something that will make a hit.
.Too, we like romance sprinkled through our adventure and a story, like
a play, is not complete nor satisfactory unless there is a girl mixed up in it
somewhere, and that girl proceeds immediately and forthwith to fall in des
perate love with our hero.
To understand this peculiar taste takes an expert at the game of satisfying
the American public. It takes a vast amount of money every year. It means
the constant drain upon the minds of the producers of plays and the manu
facture of moving films.
" TARDY TRAIN In many states, railroads, whose trains do not keep up
SCHEDULES to their published schedules, are fined for each offense by
the railroad or public utilities commissions. The roads promise the public
k that .the trains will reach certan points at a defnite specified time. If they
- fail to do so, it may mean loss of business and financial distress to many of
- their passengers.
A railroad is a public service corporation in the same way that is a tele
graph company or a telephone line. It is a private concern operated for the
Aiding the Poor the Only Way For
the Rich to Be Happy
By Cardinal GIBBONS of Baltimore
THE PRINCIPAL BLESSING POSSESSED BY THE WEALTHY IS
THEIR ABILITY TO AID THE POOR. .
There can be NO PLEASURE by the wealthy NOK ENJOY
' MENT OF . THEIR WEALTH unless they aid those less fortunte.
Their money means only to them WHAT THEY- CAN DO WITH IT,
and there is only ONE WAY in which they may derive pleasure from it.
That one way is to relieve the distress of the poor, to feed the hungry, to
care for the homeless and to aid God's work.
WEALTH INVOLVES A VERY DEEP RESPONSIBILITY. A
man is only the trustee of what he possesses, and he must in the final ac
counting explain his stewardship. It is the duty of the wealthy to sym
pathize with and aid the poor and the suffering, and if they" SHIRK
THAT DUTY they must in the end account for it. . .
THE POOR LIKEWISE HAVE -A DUTY. They should be rec
. onciled to their position and bear up, resigning themselves to God's will.
They should do the best they can by GIVING THEIR BEST SERV
ICES TO THE BETTERMENT OF THE COMMUNITY AND
LIVE WITH THE WEALTHY IN HARMONY.

benefit of the public as well as the stockholders. In its coming and going,
the public is as much interested as are the officers and members of the board
of directors. - ' I
When those lines publish certain definite schedules on which their trains
are to run, they make specific promises to the people that, barring accidents
and wrecks, they will reach the point when they agree to reach it.
If they fail to do so, they should be subjected to a fine or other punish
ment that will impress upon them their public duty and accountability to the
public at large. It often means much to a passenger to know that he will
reach, his destination when the company publishes that he will. He may base
a' large business transaction upon that schedule. It may mean that a late train
will cause him to lose that business or
a case and they happen frequently
r.n error on the part of the corporation, an error for which he was in no wise
to blame, but for which he has toay the penalty.
Railroads in the West sometimes run as high as 15 miles an hour and
dash madly around, curves and over trestles at eight or nine miles an hour.
There is no apparent reason why they cannot be made to keep up with their
schedules, nor is there any reason why the public should be made to suffer
because they don't.

OLDEST BANK IN CLACKAMAS COUNTY
HOW W. L. CRISSEY BECAME A
GLADIOLI KING
Eastern Multnomah and Clackamas
counties present many opportunities
for profitable tillage of- the soil along
special lines, as is illustrated by a
new industry recently established
along the Mt. Hood Division of the
Portland Railway, Light & Power Co.
by the Gladioli King. W. L. Crissey.
Some five years ago, to satisfy a long
ing to own a home of his own and
hearing favorable reports of soil con
ditions along the Sandy, Mr. Crissey
rode horseback all through the terri
tory adjacent to the projected Mt.
Hood line. Thera were no roads,
and the trails were poor, but after
continual searching, he discovered an
old dilapidated place of some 30 acres,
overgrown with brush and covered
with the fallen giants of the forest,
which could be purchased at what he
considered a reasonable price. The
transfer was made to the delight of
surrounding neighbors, whose smiles
indicated that the city chap had been
handed something besides a deed, ana
they patiently awaited the day when
the place would again be placed on
the market for whatever it would
bring. These same people now call
the Gladioli King "Lucky Crissey,"
but luck in this ease,, as in most oth
ers, is simply another word for appli
cation and hard work. Holidays anl
Sundays were spent in making the old
house habitable and in clearing up the
yard for Crissey, who is chief of the
Inquiry Bureau of the Portland Com
mercial Club, had little time away
from his office or money with which
to employ labor. Gradually his efforts
brought a semblance of order in the
wilderness and, being a great lover of
flowers, he planted a few Gladioli and
specimens brought to the city received
so many compliments from the local
seed houses that he purchased several
thousand bulbbets or spawn which had
previously been considered a waste
product locally. Several acres were
cleared and help employed, and for
the last four years every moment of
his spare time has been put in on
the Gladioli farm. The Gladioli is
easily raised, either from seed or
bulbs. The bulb of the flowering
plant have many little bulbs from the
size of a hazel nut downward, accord
ing to their vigor. In the spring they
are planted like the old bulbs, and the
larger ones will flower during the sea-
son, while the smaller ones must
again be harvested and planted as
before. The time occupied from the
original, planting until the plant ob
tains full growth is from three to four
years. The approved sorts, which are
identified by name, are multiplied by
means "of the "spawn" which form
around . the principal bulb or conns,
but In this they vary greatly, some
kinds furnishing abundant increase
and soon become plentiful, while oth
er refuse to furnish- offsets. The
stately habits and rich glowing colors
of the modern gladioli render them
exceedingly Valuable ' as decorative
plants during the late summer months,
and the local, seed houses state that
prevent him from getting it. In such
he has been forced to suffer because of
the varieties introduced by Mr. Cris
sey have no equal in the, world. The7
prove to be very desirable and useful
flowers for room decorations, for while
the blossoms themselves last fresh for
some days if cut early in the morn
ing or late in the evening, the unde
veloped buds open in succession if the
stalks are kept in water so that a cut
spike will go' on blossoming until all
the buds are in full bloom. The range
of colors is practically unlimited with
shades of grey, purple, scarlet, salmon,
crimson, rose, white, pink, yellow and
many mottled and blotched in the
throat. The original habitat of the
Gladioli was Southern Africa, where
the Hotentots use them for making
a kind of starchy bread. They are
also found native in Central Europe
and Western Asia. They were culti
vated in England as early as 1596, bu
only became commercialized in the
early '80s.
The Crissey Gladioli farm really is
a freak of nature an almpst level
bench dropping off abruptly on three
sides to the rivers more than 200
feet below. The Sandy and the Bull
Run rivers furnish . unceasing music
as they rush over their rocky beds.
Beautiful vistas of these streams are
presented from a dozen points on the
farm, and one looks for miles up the
cool green distances of their canyons
to ME. Hood in the near distance
clad in its mantle of white all the
year round.
Crissey has 200,000 plants in bloom
this month, and the show is one
which hundreds of motorists and
friends who are flower-lovers have
been visiting during the past week.
A good road now ends . at the front
gate and the' trip can be made in
comfort from Portland in about an
hour at any time in the year by auto
mobile or on the Mt.. Hood division
of . the Portland Railway, Light &
Power Co., which has placed a station
on the Crissey farm called Baraboo.
Among "the several imported varieties
which Crissey is showing for the first
time this year is the "Europe," the
first purs white gladiolus to" be grown.
It comes from Holland, that cradle of
bulbous wonders. He has many plants
of the "Princeps," a faming crimson
variety," with blooms seven inches
across, and of the "Niagara," a lovely
flower in a maize of creamy yellow.
"Peace" is a beautiful - white variety
with a crimson marking in the white
throat.
The "Harlequin" is full of
freakish mottlings, the pink petals
being grotesquely splashed with red.
A golden yellow variety is appropri
ately named "Klondyke."
Set apart from the general plantings
is a small garden of choice varieties.
A novelty is Baron Hulot, of velvety
purple, like that seen in a pansy; the
Glory is of cream color, with apricot
and crimson shadings in the throat.
Mrs. Francis King flaunts cherry col
ored flowers often six inches across;
America charms with is delicate pet
als of palest pink. Altogether some 40
sorts are grown, an aggregate of hun
dreds of thousands of bulbs.
In England and throughout Europe
Gladiolus exhibits attest the wonder

ful popularity of the flower; similar
events are a feature ' in the United
States as well, more particularly in
Eastern cities, but Portland can ex
cel in these as with her roses, if the
Gladioli King's farm is any criterion.
The investment made by Mr. Cris
sey has increased 1000 per cent since
his purchase through hard work and
proper application of up-to-date til
lage methods. He keeps his soil in
the best of tilth, conserves his mois
ture and does no try to farm more
land than he can successfuly handle.
At the. present time he is the largest
grower in his line on the Pacific coast,
and the high standard of his bulbs
has given him a national reputation,
There are plenty of opportunities for
specialization along similar lines in
flowers, vegetables and horticulture,
and the advice of the Pacific North
west is to quit thinking about how
lucky some other fellow may be but
get lucky yourself by going to work,
and use' your head as well as your
hands. From "The . Pacific North
