TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR. NO. 18. ELEGANT TOILETS Here are two beautiful costumes. The first is of soft mauve batiste with embroideries of white floss silk wrought into a design whose Oriental decorativeness is in piquant contrast with the eminently Parisian contour of the dress. The skirt points the way to an entirely new treatment of soft draperies, opening in front over a panel of the embroidery falling almost to the hem at the sides, and then curving high up at the back. There is no suggestion of fulness over the hips, whose outline is followed with glove-like closeness, this faithful moulding being continued above the waist-line and dispensing altogether with the conventional belt, while then on the corsage the embroidery figures effectively once more, and chemisette and undersleeves are of white embroidered muslin, tucked net and lace. The highest possible form of the fashionable high collarband is accentuated by a little tulle ruffling which touches the ear. The other dress is of blue satin, the bodice showing a most original arrangement of filet lace and tucked chiffon, with a glint of gold in the chemisette, while then there comes a waistcoat effect of blue chiffon, where tiny buttons cluster, the soft folds of satin—which are, apparently held in place at the sides by other and larger buttons—being in their turn eventually caught in by a deep waist-band of black satin, embroidered just in front with Oriental blendings of gold and emerald green and rose. For the making of the skirt the softly clinging satin would seem to have been just folded round the perfect figure, the black falling in slightly draped handkerchief points a little to one side. Three Lovely Hats To be in fashion this season one must of course, possess a silk or satin hat, or, preferably, one of each favored fabric. The first one of the trio displayed is a typical and smart example of a satin hat, its cloche shape outwardly covered in black, and its brim lining showing a charming contrast of softest blue or pink satin, while for trimming, it has a thick encircling ruche of frayed-out silk, with just one great, full-blown pink rose set at the side. Charming, is it not? The middle display of millinery loveliness is of glace silk in one of its prettiest forms. Its soft tapestry blue makes background for a trio of huge rosettes in cleverly-contrasted shades of blue, purple, and green, a wide quill being also defly introduced as a finishing touch. The hat can, of course, be made in any other desired colorings to tone with a particular costume. As to that remaining hat, it is of a youthful and pretty simplicity of style which make it well suited to a wearer still in "the teens," though "twenty-one" is not, I fancy, likely to let her juniors entirely monopolize its charms. It is made in felt of any color, but looks wonderfully well in soft mole shadings draped round with a wide fringed scarf of pale blue crepe de chine.

EVENING FROCKS. Evening frocks are growing very gorgeous, although at present there is scant opportunity for their wear. Wonderful embroideries are being prepared to do them honor, and the bugle and bead are being used for their decoration with considerable enthusiasm. The most favored embroideries are in floss silk, much raised and in floral designs. But embroidery altogether grows daily in demand, and no really elegant costume is complete without its influence.

CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 30. 1907. A Cleveland Paper's "Soft Soap and Financial Glue"—A Race Traitor. President Theodore Roosevelt is perhaps the most resourceful politician that has ever met an adversary in American political history. As Prof. Kelly Miller aptly says in "Roosevelt and the Negro," "his one superlative passion is how to bring things to pass." His highest ambition at the present moment is to encompass the political defeat and humiliation of the great and mighty Joseph Benson Foraker. That he had attempted use the very people to whom Foraker had been a mighty benefactor for his purpose was a foregone conclusion and fully attested by the appointment of Ralph W. Tyler, of Ohio, without THLODORE ROOSEVELT "Soft-Soap and Financial Glue." Last week The Informer had something to say about hungry Negro political leaders to accept puffered places of provision that had a president with a view of embarrassing our great friend, Joseph Benson Foraker. It appears that while we were writing this indictment one of this class of men was penning an admission of the above charge which was punished simultaneously with a written referral to. Listen to the following from The Cleveland Journal: "Whatever may be the advertised feeling against Theodore Roosevelt by our people in some sections, a careful and prolonged investigation in this section fails to discern any ill-feeling that may be called significant. The two we have noted notes that the air fill from time to time may be traced to broken strings in the political 'ple-a,' a trouble that could no doubt be mended with patronage, soft-soap and financial glue. All of which does not necessarily reflect on Afro-American manhood, but furnishes another example in proof of that. "That we are just like other people." Olean, N. Y., News.

Piqua, O.-On the suggestion of Rev Robinson, of Park Avenue Baptist church, civic league has been organized, known as the Charles Summer Afro-American league. It will be independent and will vote for men and measures as against parties, for the club's motto is, "Every right with all thy might." The civil rights of the Afro-American and the open door of opportunity for them is to be the earnest contention of this league. Dr. Robinson dwelt upon President Roosevelt's alleged vacilating policy to tolerate the Afro-American, and argued that the Roosevelt's ban should be pudiated and Foraker be from now on regarded the choice of local Afro-Americans. He showed that the recent elections in the state properly put-Foraker over Taft and the soldier champion should have the unqualified endorsement of the Afro-American citizen everywhere. This the league heartily endorsed. The officers of the league are: Earl Reese, president; James Fetrick, vice; W. L. Johnson; sec.; James A. Collins, assistant; Robert Evans, treas. The league will meet weekly. Samuel Gompers has been unanimously re-elected president of the American Federation of Labor.

Taft Boom About to Fail "Tried and found wanting." Such a verdict against the Taft presidential boom seems imminent. Its best friends are disappointed in it. It has gathered no momentum. Now it is beginning to show signs of collapse, with what appears early consignment to the political scrap pile, unless something be done speedily to put new life into it. The failure of William Howard Taft to boom up prominently and formidably as a candidate for president is ascribable to his weighty causes, viz: First, resentment of Roosevelt's efforts to name his successor; second, the factional feud in Ohio, which might endanger the electoral vote of the state; third, the option of organized labor and the Negro vote; fourth, theamination would surely encounter.—Washington (D. C.) Herald. IN UNION THERE IS STRENGTH A TERRIFIC Indictment of Roosevelt in the Recent Elections SOME QUESTIONS "Truth crushed to earth will rise again. The eternal days of grace are hers, The error strugglings withered, in pain And when she's gone, she's gone. Let us turn from this picture and look at recent elections. Roosevelt nominated a candidate for mayor of Cleveland. He went down under 9,325 majority. Roosevelt took a hand in Maryland's campaign through Secretary Bonaparte and otherwise, and the colored man was not reckoned with nor asked to make a single speech or meeting. The managers said "let the Senate vote" and democrats who admire Roosevelt will vote the republican ticket." The democrats swept the state by 9,369 majority. Geo. R. Gathe, the republican candidate for governor, is an able and fair-minded man, and would have made an ideal governor. His defeat is to be regretted. The colored republicans found that Roosevelt had a lot of trouble when he questioned how they marked their ballots. Mr. Timanus, of Baltimore, Sd., a strong Roosevelt man, who ignored the colored man, when he asked re-election last spring, went down to defeat when the colored vote could have elected him, but it refused to indorse insult on insult. Just think of it, Mr. Howard Roosevelt, republican candidate for congress, to fill a vacancy in the Virginia district, a few months earlier. The Washington district conference of the A. M. E. Zion church held in that same district, at Nauch, Va., October 30, 30 and 11, of which the writer was a member and the press reporter, and unanimously indorsed Senator J. B. Forsaker for president of the United States, said not a word about Mr. Howard Roosevelt, republican candidate for congress in that district. We had been in Tennessee where the Forsaker sentiment is strong among Afro-Americans. Our plan to go on to Cleveland, O., from Tennessee was frustrated by my being called back to the Virginia conference, where we were re-elected superintendent and appointed to the Christian Encouver society. But we strangely that Monmouth county, N. J., with a big colored vote, should fall out of line and go democratic.

It was not only a privilege to be present, but a death indole eat Congressman Burton carried ohly six Hast End wards, according to the official count by the board of elec- tions.

Burton failed to carry any but the East End wards re- ferred to and even in them were his pluralities greatly reduced. Johnson polled 48,342 votes against Burton's 39,016. “ All of the letter Senator Foraker sent to Harry L. Vail, a portion of which only was published during the recent local campaign, would be mighty interesting reading, these days. ‘AS we understand it, the most inter esting parts of the letter, those refer- ring to Candidate Burton, were elim- inated.

The result was the ‘Tammany candidates swept the field. New Jersey elected a governor and has control by a small majority of the leg- islature, but when we compare this vote with that of three years ago, the result shows the waning popularity of Mr. Roosevelt. The democratic nominee would have won, if he had not been traded off by his own party friends. Many republicans voted for him simply as a rebuke to the presi- dent, and to remind Governor Stokes that'he had erred in stating to Mr. Roosevelt that he would be for him in the next national contest. The phenomenal vote in Pennsylvania is solely due to the fact that it is not a Roosevelt state, and that the vote of the state will be cast solidly against him. ‘The most notable effect of the decline to the president's popularity among the masses 1s the results. ob- tained in the local contests in Ohio, particularly in Cleveland, where both Judge Taft and Mr. Roosevelt have Suffered crushing defeats. We look from this time on for a decline of Mr. Roosevelt's popularity, as well as that of Judge Taft.

Here in Cleve- Jand the president made the issue clearer than anywhere else in the country, as a result of his public in- dorsement of Mr. Burton's candidacy, which was freely used during the cam paign.

WHERE WAS. ROOSEVELT? Frederick City, Md. was recently reported as “shot up.* Did Roosevelt hear about it? Rev. Dr. 8. L. Corrothers in the conference at Nauck, Va., when discussing the state of the country (I had referred to the conduct of the Spanish War Veterans in walking out of their meeting re- cently in G. A. R. hall here when a colored ex-chaplain of the Ninth U. 8. Cavalry was called on to pray) said: “President Roosevelt's course toward colored soldiers at Brownsville and his further act tx sending all of the colored Soldiers out of the country, are responsible for this.” It was Cor- rothers in his welcome address who stirred up the Negro Baptist national convention so, until President Morris aided by the influence of the widely famed Booker T. Washington, couldn't ‘keep back the indorsement’ of For- aker. That Secretary Taft is a man of great executive ability is even now admitted by Senator Ben Tillman and those other flery southern senators who once could not hear his name, or the name of the Taft commission, without being fired with indignation; but he (Taft) helped to place on “The Black Battalion” the badge of dishon- or and is doomed to a galling and sweeping defeat if named for presi- dent next year. No democrat would vote for him; organized labor 1s against him; the great mass of the colored ote, where it counts most, would knife him as it did Burton at Cleveland, Timanus at Baltimore, and Roosevelt's candidates elsewhere. To name Roosevelt as the friend of any candidate where the colored vote is a factor in fixing the result-——dooms him! The general Christian spirit of the Afro-American may lead them to for- get Roosevelt and Taft, “but forget them they never will.” “At one time I ranked Roosevelt as the greatest man living, but alas! that estimate is gone, and i now follow him as an ob- fect ‘of suspicion. Colored men no longer have confidence in him; not even those holding office under him. Nothing that he can or may do will regain for him the lost confidence of his once faithful colored allies. No man who has spoken 2 word against Foraker can ever carry the colored vote. His word will be necessary to direct the course of the vote in 1908. Why did President Roosevelt dis: charge the colored soldiers on the ‘complaint of a people who had notified him and the war department not to send them to Brownsville, before they had been properly tried and convicted ‘on competent testimony from unpre- Judiced witnesses? Why was Presi- dent Roosevelt satisfied with the rec- ommendations of Major Blocksom and Gen, Garlington, knowing as he must have, that both were prejudiced against the black man and therefore unable to render an unbiased deciston in the matter? Why did President Roosevelt send all of the colored troopa out of the country at a time when he must have known that under the circumstances it vould not help but encourage the enemies of the col- ored people and intensify prejudice against them? Why has President Roosevelt not reinstated those men of “The Black Battalion” who went through the senatorial investigation, ‘and stand unconvicted by the evidence presented? Why has President Roose- yelt not recommended to congress to carry out the provision in the repub- ean platform of 1904 to reduce south- ern representation on account of the disfranchisement of thousands of yot- ers? Why did President Roosevelt say nothing in his southern speeches on the subject of the wholesale disfran- chisement of colored voters in that section of the country? Why did President Roosevelt go south and praise the virtues of Jeff Davis, the arch traitor to the Union? ‘JAMES W. POE. Miners Win a Victory. Des Moines, Ia,—After numer ous separate meetings of the coal operators, the Des Moines clearing house.and the miners of this district, an arrangement was effected Tuesday for the payment of all mine pay rolls in eash and the 9,000 miners who went out Saturday will return to work to- day.

And yet there are Negroes in this community who claim to be intelligent and unable to see the facts we refer to above. None are so blind as those who will not see and positively refuse to do so. In its issue just before election day the Nashville (Tenn.) Globe published the following editorial of local interest: "The municipal campaign in Cleveland, Ohio, is attracting more than ordinary attention, because President Roosevelt has thrown the weight of his influence to the republican candidate in order to, defeat Mayor Tom Johnson, Johnson, re-elected in 2012, and to have heretofore almost invincible because of his great right to compel the street railways of Cleveland to give a cheaper and better service. Realizing Johnson's great strength with the masses, the republicans have nominated Theodore Burton, one of their strongest men and a representative of the Cleveland district in congress. Burton, who is one of, if not the strongest representatives of Ohio in running upon the advice of President Roosevelt, accepted the nomination. This interference of the president in a purely local election is considered highly obnoxious by many of the citizens of Cleveland and especially is this true of the colored voters. Burton is one of the leaders of the opposition to Foraker in the state of Ohio and it is thought that his candidacy against the strongest democrat in the race is based on charges of control of the republican organization, in the event he is successful in his contest with Johnson, and oust Mr. Foraker from the senatorship. Foraker is the idol of the colored voters of Ohio and unless Burton states positively that his election will in no way endanger the senior senator's election he will receive few votes from the colored wing of the party. In consequence Mr. Burton is the administration's Cleveland ought to $^{a}$ defeat him and thus show their disapproval of the course pursued in the Brownsville affair. Let the Negroes of the north in the cities or states where they hold the balance of power show to the republican party that they will not vote for anything labeled "republican." regardless of the policies pursued, simply because Abraham Lincoln emancipated soon do something to ameliorate the conditions of which we as a race complain, other than putting a few vote-catching clauses in its national platform."

REAL CAUSE FOR GLADNESS. How Young Lawyer Carried Comfort to Convicted Client. An amusing story is told by Harper's Weekly at the expense of a prominent Baltimore lawyer, who, like most young attorneys, got his first case by assignment from the bench. His client had been indicted for murder, and his conviction was a foregone conclusion, as his guilt was unquestionable. The result of the trial was a sentence to be hanged; but the man made an appeal to the governor for a pardon and was anxiously awaiting a reply thereto when his lawyer visited him in his cell. "I got good news for you—very good news!" the young lawyer said, grasping the man's hand. "Did the governor—is it a pardon?" the man exclaimed joyfully. "Well, no. The fact is the governor refuses to interfere. But an uncle of yours has died and left you $200, and you will have the satisfaction of knowing that your lawyer got paid, you" was the comforting explanation. WAS WILLING TO FORGET. Young Man Bore No Grudge Against Proposed Father-in-Law. That the young fellow had grit was evident from the fact that his business, from nothing, had in a few years begin to bring in a fairish income. He made up his mind to married. The girl—although the daughter of a pompous country resident—agreed with him; but the father did not see things in the same light. “What! You!” he yelled, angrily. “You want to marry my daughter! Why, it is only a few years since you were caddying for me.” “That’s true!” interrupted the young man, “but I don’t intend to let that stand in the way. The language you then used was certainly a trifle—say blue-tinted; but then you were under the influence of disappointment. After all, you know, a very bad golfer may make a very good father-in-law. Anyhow, I’m going to give you a chance.” French Police a Surprise: "Well, how did you enjoy yourself in Paris?" they asked of Mrs. Maloney when she got home. "Very well," she repiled. "Very well, indade; but there was wan thing that surprised me more thin ennythin' else." "And what was that?" they queried. "There were a lot of policemen there and all av thim was French." **A Delicate Task.** "The newspapers," said the orator zolemny, "do not tell the truth." "Perhaps not," answered the editor, regretfully. "We do our best. But you know there is nothing more difficult than to tell the truth in a way that won't put it up to some one to challenge your veracity." WHAT WAS IT The Woman Feared? What a comfort to find it is not "the awful thing" feared, but only chronic indigestion, which proper food can relieve. Woman in Ohio says: "I was troubled for years with indigestion and chronic constipation. At times I would have such a gnawing in my stomach that I actually feared I had a—I dislike to write or even think of what I feared. "Seeing an account of Grape-Nuts I decided to try it. After a short time I was satisfied the trouble was not the awful thing I feared but was still bad enough. However, I was relieved of a bad case of dyspepsia by changing from improper food to Grape-Nuts. "Since that time my bowels have been as regular as a clock. I had also noticed before I began to eat Grape-Nuts that I was becoming forgetful of where I put little things about the house, which was very annoying. "But since the digestive organs have become strong from eating Grape-Nuts, my memory is good and my mind as clear as when I was young, and I am thankful."

FRENZIED FINANCE LED TO SUICIDE BROOKLYN BANKER INDICTED FOR FORGERY KILLED HIMSELF Howard Maxwell, Deposed President of the Recently Suspended Borough Bank, Died Bankrupt in Purse and Reputation. New York City.—Howard Maxwell, deposed president of the Borough Bank of Brooklyn, who was under indictment for grand larceny and forgery and was on Monday night released from jail on $30,000 bail, committed suicide Tuesday. He cut his throat and left wrist with a razor and pennknife in the bath room of his home in Brooklyn and died at Long Island College hospital. Maxwell, who was locked up last Thursday, felt his humiliation keenly and during his incarceration had appeared hopelessly. He had, however, given his family no intimation that he contemplated suicide Maxwell was released late Monday night from Raymond street jail, where he had been held a prisoner since the three indictments charging him with misdouings in connection with the management of the Borough bank were returned. There was some difficulty in obtaining bail, and officers of the jail reported that Maxwell was greatly broken up. All Monday and the day before he lay on his bed and appeared oblivious to surroundings. He declined to receive any visitors except his brother, Fondley, the night Justice Burr signed an order for Maxwell's release when bail to the amount of $3,000 was furnished. Maxwell was 49 years old and leaves a wife, but no children. On November 21 he was jointly indicted for grand larceny with ex-Cashier Arthur Campbell and Director William Gow, of the Borough bank. There were other indictments against him involving forgery in a quarterly bank department. When these three bank departments were arraigned Campbell and Gow secured bondsmen, but, to the surprise of many who knew of Maxwell's popularity in financial circles and socially, none offered to go upon his bond. During his arraignment Maxwell's counsel stated that his client had put up every dollar in the world that he possessed to sell to the bank, and that he almost grilled him to protect the institution. Later, on the way to his cell, Maxwell borrowed $2 with which to buy a meal or two from a nearby restaurant. At the time he declared that he did not have a cent with which to provide himself any extras outside the prison fare. His lawyer, a common felon, was measured by the Bertillon system and his pedigree placed in the jail records. Maxwell had been regarded as one of the rising financiers of Brooklyn and was reputed to be worth $200,000 when the crash in banking affairs came. The home in which he killed himself was recently made over to the Borough bank. He was cashier of the bank, and the assistance was merged with the Union bank four years ago. At that time he had no property, so far as known, but he enlisted the assistance of William Gow, of the advertising firm of Ward & Gow, and these two, with others, organized the Borough bank. The Borough bank, operating on what has been called a time achieved remarkable success. Shortly after he became a bank president Maxwell married. A VOYAGE IN A BALLOON. Aeronaut Stevens and Six Guests Covered a Distance of 125 Miles. Concord, N. H. — An immense balloon, the "All America," carrying seven persons, made a successful trip Tuesday from Pittsfield, Mass., to Canterbury, N. H., near this city, one of the longest journeys ever accomplished in New England. Piloted by Leo Stevens, of New York, the balloon started at 11 a. m. Mr. Stevens hoped to pilot the big bag due east toward Boston, but as has been the case with the 15 ascensions made from Pittsfield, the wind blew from the southwest. Though he drove the balloon to an altitude of two miles, Mr. Stevens said he was unable to get into any current which would take him to the eastward. He then dropped to within two or three thousand feet of the earth and drifted slowly over the Berkshire hills, across the mountains of southern Vermont, up the Connecticut river valley for a way, and then across the south central portion of Hampshire, of which successful trips were made near Canterbury, nine miles northeast of Concord, at 4:30 o'clock. Mr. Stevens said they encountered snow throughout the voyage, but that the fall did not affect the trip, except as it hid the view of the country below. The distance covered from Pittfield to Canterbury as the crow flies is about 125 miles, though shifts of the wind made the voyage considerably longer. Despite the snow storm and snow, the crew made the journey in quicker time than it could have been made by ordinary railway connections. Three Trainmen Killed.

Japanese Flower Decorators In the Japanese method of flower decoration—to become a master in which a man must study for at least 14 years, seven years of hard work making him only fairly proficient—only a few flowers are used. One beautiful bough is considered ample aesthetic food for a day. The Japanese know that only one beautiful object at a time can be appreciated, and they aim at placing that object in perfect relation to its surroundings. A vase of flowers in a Japanese house is the principal thing in the room, near which the chief guest of the evening is seated. Coal in Montana. More than $5,600,000 is now invested in the many coal properties in Montana. About one-half this sum represents the value of the annual product; and nearly a third is paid each year for wages. The are now 550 finished coke ovens in the state and one or two mines produce nothing but coking coal. The value of coke produced annually does not run much above $300.000. Twenty-four out of the 27 counties in Montana produce more or less commercial coal or lignite—Mines and Minerals for June. Prefer Yellow Pearls Though white pearls are preferred in Europe in bright yellow pearls, they are most valuable WOMAN KNEW HUMAN NATURE, Personal Experience Counted in Her Indorsement of New Pastor. A Philadelphia congregation was called upon not long ago to choose a pastor. The last three ministers had been persona non grata with most of the parishioners; and before selecting another the congregation did some pretty hard thinking. There was one woman of experience whose voice carried particular weight. Preacher after preacher was invited to the pulpit for a trial sermon, and all, in the final analysis, were rejected by the female arbiter. At last there came along a possible incumbent who met with her approval. "The reason I am sure he will give satisfaction," she said, "is because he has the right kind of a wife for a minister. She allows him to rant around all he wants at home and doesn't sass back. I found out a long while ago—shortly after I was married myself, in fact—that a man who hasn't that privilege at home works off his spleen elsewhere. A minister vents it on his congregation. That was why we couldn't stand the last preacher. This one will be all right. We won't hear a peep out of him." And upon that unique recommendation the congregation really did give the man a call. According to last accounts both he and the congregation were doing well. The wife has not been heard from. BABY ITCHED TERRIBLY. Face and Neck Covered with Inflamed Skin—Doctors No Avail—Cured by Cuticura Remedies. "My baby's face and neck were covered with itching skin similar to eczema, and she suffered terribly for over a year. I took her to a number of doctors, and also to different colleges, to no avail. Then Cuticura Remedies were recommended to me by Miss G—I did not use it at first, as I had tried so many other remedies without any favorable results. At last I tried Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Resolvent Pills, and to my surprise noticed an improvement. After using three boxes of the Cuticura Ointment, together with the Soap and Pills, I am pleased to say she is altogether a different child and the picture of health. Mrs. A. C. Brestlin 171 N. Lincoln St., Chicago, Ill., Oct 20 and 30, 1906." STILL AHEAD OF AUDIENCE. Comedian Made Humor of What Was Approaching Tragedy. "Willey" Collier, the comedian, was an impressible member of a barn-storming combination which, some ten years ago, did the "tank" towns of the middle west. The company had been doing a poor business for several weeks when a certain town in Illinois was reached. Just before the curtain went up that night, Collier was standing at the curtain "peep-hole," sizing up the audience. "How's the house, Willie?" asked another player. "Well," answered Collier, "there are some out there. But," he added, impressively, "we're still in the majority, old boy, still in the majority!"—Harper's Weekly. Not to Be Fooled. A city had spent a part of last summer on a farm owned by his uncle. It was the boy's first visit to the country, and everything on the farm was delightfully unfamiliar to him. One afternoon the youngster, who had been provling about the chicken house, seized the product of one cackling hen, and marched exultantly into the house with his prize. "Let me have it, son," said the farmer's wife, "and I'll cook it for your luncheon." "You must think I'm a greenhorn, auntie!" exclaimed the boy. "I guess the hen cooked it all right. It's warm."-Harper's Weekly.

WESTERN CANADA A WINNER THE CROP OF 1907 IS AN EXCEL- LENT ONE. Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta Farmers Doing Well. The interest that Western Canada has aroused for some years past is growing in intensity. The conditions of the crop of 1907 are such that results can be spoken of with some degree of certainty. The yield of grain will be about 80,000 bushels and the price the farmers will realize for it will be upwards of seventy million dollars. The oat crop was good in most places, and the crop of barley will be very remunerative. Those who know of the generally unsatisfactory conditions during the seeding, growing and ripening period in the United States during the past season, will look with righteous distrust on any statement intended to give the impression that Western Canada conditions were so much different. Generally, they were not, but the conditions of a highly recuperative soil, long and continuous sunshine, are conditions possessed by Western Canada and not possessed by any other country on the Continent. This is why it is possible to record today a fairly successful crop, when in most other places the opposite is the case. The yield in all grains is less than last year, but the higher prices obtained more than offset any falling off in the yield. Take for instance the Province of Saskatchewan the wheat crop will be worth $21,135,000. Last year the same crop was 35 per cent. larger and the quality better. The yield was worth $24,000,000. Oats and barley are very important factors in all three central Provinces. At Gladstone, Manitoba, returns from one farm were $27 per acre from the wheat land, $35 per acre from oats, and $30 per acre from barley. The yield of wheat at Dauphin, Manitoba, was 20 to 24 bushels to the acre but not of a very good grade, but the yield of barley in that section was good and so was the quality and price. At Meadow Lea, Manitoba, 15 to 20 bushels to the acre were thrashed, bringing a round dollar on the market. At Oak Lake, Manitoba, on some fields where 21 bushels were expected, twelve and fifteen was the result; others again twenty was looked for gave twenty-two to twenty-five. One special patch south of town on J. M. McFarlane's farm went as high as thirty bushels to the acre. At Shebo, Saskatchewan, oats yielded from 60 to 65 bushels to the acre. Sam Wunder thrashed 2,500 bushels from forty acres. The sample is good and weighs well. At Lloydminster, Saskatchewan, W. Bibby thrashed 97 bushels of oats to the acre, and two others were but little behind. Wheat here reached 35 bushels. At Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, from a quarter section all in crop, Alex. McKinnon of Ingleside thrashed an average of 33 bushels No. 1 Northern. I. J. Grant had 190 acres, yielding 6,000 bushels of the same grade. These illustrations taken from widely distant districts (and thousands of others could be produced) show that the year 1907 has not felt the serious effects from severe winter, late spring, or unfavorable conditions during the growing season that might have been antitroped.

One of Many. An Atchison woman started out to buy her fall hat. First she visited the openings and looked and looked. Then she took a friend and went around to the millinery stores and "tried on" again, saying, of course, that her "hair looked perfectly terrible." Then she went home and thought and thought, and, finally, went back to the stores and "tried on" once more; and thought, and thought, and then bought a hat which is so grotesque and hideous that her relatives and friends blush with shame every time they see her wear it, and strangers stare at her, wondering what kind of courage it takes to wear such a looking hat.

Missouri Pacific's Gross Earnings Increase, and Expenses Decrease. The Missouri Pacific system (including the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern and the Central Branch) operated last year for 68.8 per cent, as against a ratio of 67.9 per cent in the preceding year, which, on its face, is a very creditable showing, and which improves upon examination. Gross earnings were $4,783,342, the largest in the history of the company; net earnings were $1,618,272. To net earnings add $3,283,282 other income, and the total available income is $1,947,555, of which taxes, interest on funded debt and equipment trust obligations, and sundry other charges consumed 60.5 per cent, or $1,173,452. The $7,698,103 remainder equaled 9.9 per cent. on the outstanding $7,781,875 capital stock. That this result was not obtained at the expense of the property is shown by the following percentages: Gross earnings increased 9.3 per cent; expenditures for maintenance of equipment increased 21 per cent; expenditures for maintenance of way and structures increased 9.8 per cent; the cost of conducting transportation increased 2.6 per cent; general expenses increased 1.7 per cent. The secret of the company's showing is in the small increase in the cost of conducting transportation. Expenditures for maintenance increased in greater ratio than gross earnings, but as against an increase of 9.3 per cent. in gross earnings is an increase of but 2.6 per cent. in the cost of conducting transportation. There is obviously nothing in the showing made by the company for the last fiscal year to account for the fact that the stock is selling at the lowest price since 1900, when it was a non-dividend bearing security. It has earned and paid its 5 per cent. a year since then. The price of the stock must be supposed to be due, partly, to financial conditions affecting all securities, and partly to the fact that in the last two or three years there has been no organized effort to support Gould securities. They have been left to find their level with investors. Since the appearance of the annual report the transfer office of the company has been fairly overwhelmed with the opening of new accounts in odd lots.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the conquering of woman's dread enemy Tumor. The growth of a tumor is so infilious that frequently its presence is the unsuspected until it is well advanced. So called "wandering pains" may come from its early stages or the presence of danger may be made manifest by excessive monthly periods accompanied by unusual pain, from subduen through the groin and thigh. If you have mysterious pains, if there are indications of inflammation or displacements, secure a bottle of Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound from away and activate roots and herbs, right away and herbs. The following letters should convince every suffering woman of its virtue, and that it actually does conquer tumors. Ms. May FFY, of $36 W. Colafax, Av. Soil, Ltd., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham "I take great pleasure in writing to thank you for what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me. I also took the Blood Purifier in alternate doses with the Compound. Your medicine removed a cyst tumor of four years' growth, which three of the best physicians declared I had. They had said that only an operation could help me. I am very thankful that I followed a friend's advice and took your medicine. It has made me a strong and well woman and I shall recommend it as long as I live." Mrs. E. F.
