DEMOCRATS WERE ANNOYED And the Republicans Delighted By the ” Frank Statements of the South Washington, D. C.—During the course of a speech on the Crum nom- ination in the senate, Senator Till- man of South Carolina delighted, the Yepublicans and outraged his démo- cratic colleagues by his remarks on southern states’ suffrage restrictions. Mahy of tho democrats got up and Jett_the chamber. The negropbiles Ulstehed with their hands to their ears, eager to catch every word. Senator Tillman insisted that thé disfranchisement laws of the south were frauds on their face; that thelr 2dministration was a joke; thatcthey ‘were in open and flagrant violation of the fourteenth and fifteenth amend- ments; that they wero aimed solely at tho negro and disfranchised him because he was a negro. ““The fourteenth and fifteenth amend- ments are not’ worth the paper they were written on,” sald Senator Till- aman, while every man in the cham- der ‘gasped with consternation. Senator Tillman admitted having ‘once in his life voted for a negro. It was before the days of the disfran- <chisement amendment. He was liv- -Ing fn the Anderson district, which ‘was overwhelmingly black ‘republl- can, He sald the demo¢rats had ger- rymandered the district so as to get vall the negroes In that district, “It had wings Ike a bat and legs like a grasshopper,” said the South Caro- Tinian. “Well, I got tired voting tis. sue paper ballots and once voted for the negro candidate.” He adverted to the Japanese sitts- tion in California, and took the antt- Japanese side of the controversy, say- ing it was a plain case of racial an- upathy and that he was on the side of the white man, ‘Mr. Tillman was supported by his colleague from South Carolina, Afr. Gary, who spoke for forty minutes discussing the Issue in a perfectly le gitimate way, as a social problem, rather than apolitical issue. He said there was no question but that Cram ould discharge the duties of the of. fice, dut that he should not be forced _apon people to whom he was distaste ‘While {t Is becoming apparent that Collector Crum cannot be confirmed at the present session, it Is also -avl- dent the case {s being ‘used as a “but: ter” for legislation which the Iead- ‘ota. do not intend shall be passed. MONEY ORDERS STOLEN. Relief Agent of Southern Express Gets Five Thousand Dollars. Savannah, Ga—Secret service men ot the Southern Express Company ‘and the Atlantic Coast Line are Searching for the former relief agent; Oscar R. Hull of the Savannah divis- don of the railroad, who, it {s charg- ed, stole a book of blank Southern Express money orders from the com- pany’s office at Winokur, Charlton cbunty, Georgia, cashed them all in Savannah and skipped. ‘The face value of the orders was $5,000. It is well known that twenty- six of them were cashed at an aver- age of $40 each, a total of something over $2,640. Jt 15 charged that Hall played no favorites, “sticking” banks, " restau- rants and offices indiscriminately. The ‘Commercial Bank, Savannah Bank and Trust Company and others gave him money. That fondness for wom- en's society caused Hull's alleged downfall Is asserted by those who know him tntimately here, Hull is 25 years old, was born at Asworth, Ga, and has’lived at Cartersville. If he is caught he will be broxght back to Savannah for trial. - TO FIGHT WHITE PLAGUE. Fund of Twelve Million Dollars Witl Be Distributed Among New Yorkers, New York City—Citizens of New ‘York, who are to receive rebates rrou the Consolidated Gas Company, who must “distribute a fund of nearly $12, 000,000, which has been held in trast pending litigation over the 80 ceui gas law, are asked to contribute their Temit{aices to charity, Antappeal to this effect has been issued by the charity organization sv. clety committee on the prevention of tuberculosis, After polnting out tant the money in question {s money that a majority of persons did not expect to receive, and therefore can readily do without, the appeal concludes “with a ‘fund of sufficient size as a foundation yielding a considerable annual revenue, It will be possible in a very few years to completely erad- feate this disease, ~ ee BATTLESHIPS COSTLY. $109,856 Required to Keep One in Re- ee ne Mame ‘Washington, D. C.—Responding te a resolution introduced by Senator Clay, a report was-sent to the sen- ate by Secretary of the Navy New: berry, saying that it cost $109,856 to keep ‘a first class battleship in’ repair and good condition for one year.

C—A large sized sensation was sprung in the report ct Senator Kittredge, chairman of the isthmian canal committee, who de clared that an‘ amazingly costly blun der was made in adopting the lock and dam Instead of the sea level type of canal at Panama. ‘He declared the final cost would be three times the original estimate of the engineers. He showed that al ready $170,000,000 had been appropri. ated for the work, and that If curreat reports be true, congress will be ask ed to continue to pour enough money to make $400,000,000 into the canal project. The estimated cost, as amen. ded to date, ‘reaches the jatter Ae. ure, which fs one-fourth latger than the: original estimated cost of a sea level canal, | ‘The debate wai an indirect assault upon President Roosevelt, who was responsible for the adoption of the lock typo of canal, The majority of the International board of consulting engineers favored a sea level canal, The American engineers submitted a minority report advocating a lock ca nal, The president threw his infu ence ‘on-thelr side, and secured the passage of legislation authorizing a lock canal at Panama, Theso engt- neers staked their professional fepu- tation on the statement that the cost would not exceed $140,000,000. | | Washington, D.

Country homes generally are improving In com: fort, attractiveness ard healthfulness. Masy institutions, organizations and movements are actively contributing to the Increasing welfare of the open country, "There has never been a time when the American farmer was as well off as he Is today, when not only his earning power, but the comforts and advantages he’may secure are consid: ered. There has been a complete and fundamental change in our whole economic system within the past cen- tury. . ° ‘Yet it is true, notwithstanding all this progress, as measured by histor!- eal standards, that agriculture 1s not commmercial’ as profitable as it is entitled to be for the labor and ez- ergy that the farmer expends and the risks that he assumes, and that the social conditions in "the open country are far short of*thelr posst- bilities. > Rural society fs lacking chiefly in a knowledge on the part of the farm- ers of the exact agricultural condi- tions and possibilities of thelr re- gions, resulting In the widespread de- pletion of soils with the injurious ef- fect on rural life; in proper training for country life in the schools; in good highway facilities, and in organ: ization for buying and selling. ‘There {s an absence of any ade quate system of agricultural credit, BIG REFUNDING NORTGAGE.

He related the history of canal legislation, and recalled the ac tivity of Willlam Nelson Cromwell. “[belleve the canal will cost halt. Dillion of dollars before it is com: pletdd, and that it will be completed, it at all, as a sea level canal,” sald the Georgia senator. ‘This is in a way a vindication of the position of the late Senator John ‘Fyler Morgan of Alabama, who urged tie Nicaraguan route and pleaded for {t for sixteen years.” The present sto. tus of affairs 1s an entire vindication of the position of the democrats, who voted for the Nicaraguan route’ until overwhelmed by numbers, and then directed their offorts to secure a sea level canal at Panama. Every demo- crat so yoted except Senator Jones of Arkansas. The president summon- ed several republicans who opposed his plans to a white house conference and “secured thelr support. ‘The discussion grew out of a report by Mr. Kittredge on the bill increas: ing the Imit of cost for the canal to $500,000,000 and authorizing the sec: Tetary of the treasury to issue bonds to that amount. He said that this committee had decided that the meas- nee should be considered by the fin- ance committee, and he reported it back with that recommendation, a shortage of labor, often complicat ed by intemperance among workmen; a tack of Institutions and incentives that tle the Iaboring man to the soll; the life of the farm woman. is bur densome and narrow; there 1s need of adéquate supervisiomof public health The farmer 1s handicapped by thé [speculative holding of lands, monop ollstic control of streams and forests, waste of our natural resources and by restraint of trade. ; Somo of the remedies for the condi. tions set forth le with the national government, some of them with the states and ‘communities in thefr cor. porate capacities, some with volunta ry organizations ‘and somo with indt viduals acting atone. All organized forces both in town and country should understand that there are country phases as well as city phases of our civilization,- and that one phase needs help as much as the. other. All these Agencies should realizo-thelr responsibility to society. Many existing organizations and institutions might become prac: cally co-operative or mutual in splr- it; as for example: all agricultural so- cleties, lbrarles, Young Men's Chris- tian Associations and churches, ‘There are several great forces, or principles, which must be utilized in tho endeavor to solve the country life ‘geustion, : ‘Thero’ must be a vast enlargement of voluntary organized effort among farmers themselves, It {3 Indisepnsa. ble that farmers shall work together for thelr common Interests and for the national welfare. If they do not do this, no governmental activity, no legislation, not even better schools, will greatly avail. The forces and Institutions that umake for morality and spiritual {deals among rural peo- ple must be energized. ‘There must be not only a fuller scheme of public education, ‘but a new kind of education ‘adapted ‘to the real needs of the farming people. Tho country schools aro to be s0 redirect- ed that they shall educate their pu- pis in terms of the daily Ife, Op- portunities for training toward the agricultural callings are to be multl- plied and made broadly effective. This means redoubled efforts for bet: ter country schools, and a vastly in- creased interest in the welfare of the country boys and girls on the part of those who pay the school taxes. Education by means of agriculture Is to be a part of our regular public school work, Special » agricultural schools are to be organized. The country people everywhere are asking for good roads. Everywhere, too, they want a parcels post and the extension of the rural free delivery. It Will be well for us as a people, if we recognize the opportunity for use- fulness in the open country and con- sider that there 1s a call for service. ‘The suggestion of the commission only outline a general plan whereby the strong resident forces in the open country may themselves build up a new and better rural social structure. To accomplish this, the entire people must be aroused. ‘The time for this ce at fea.

Cleveland, Ohio—That the murder: of six women in Dayton were com mitted by a single individual ts the theory of Dr, Charles H. Clark, the former clinical director of the gov ernment hospital for tho insane a Washington, and now superintendent of the Cleveland State Hospital “Circumstances identical in each case point to a single murderer,” sald Dr. Clark. “The facts 1a the Day ton serles have ben published broad: cast, Yet no similar crimes have oc curred elsewhere, This Is an argu: ment for a single murderer. | “This monster fs selective, His vic: tims have been nearly of an gze. ‘Their circumstances in lite have been sindlar, AN were girls attractive in faco and form] “The best evidence that all ‘six ot ‘the murders were committed by a sin gle Individual Is the fact that In each case the victim was strangled. This—the use of one method in sev. eral cases—is typical of the pervert. The Dayton monster has a prototype in Jack the Ripper, » Once the pervert has taken life In ‘a certain ‘manner, thereafter he can not be satisfied except In that identl- eal way. Perversion usually lasts through life. As long as the pervert is free he fs bound to commit more crime, In my opinion this pervert ts not only sane, Dut responsible. When ‘convicted of crime he should be pun Hehed as any other criminal.” "Dayton, Obio—With the conclusion of mieroscopic examination of the stomach in search of possible traces of poison, the final autopsy on the boay of Eitzabeth Fulbart of Vandalia, Olilo, Dayton’s latest murder victim, falled to reveal the immediate cause of the girl's death. E ‘The only tangible theory loft, tho police say, Is that the girl may ‘have been drugged, which accidentally proved fatal, and the body thrown in: fo the abandoned cistern to cover up the traces of the crime. ADVICE FOR CALIFORNIA, Prerident Again Chides Those Whe Differ from Him About Japaness. Washington, D. C.—"The policy: of the administration Is to combine the maximum of efficiency in achieving the real object which the people o} the Pacifle slope have at heart, with she minimum of friction and trouble while the misguided men who advo cate such action as this against which I protest are following a policy which combines the very minimum of eft elency with the maximum of insult and which, while totally falling to achleve any real result for good, yet might accomplish ‘an infinity of harm.” In ‘this language President Roose yelt, in_a long telegram to Speaker P. A. Stanton of the Callfornia as sembiy, set. forth the government's view of the antiJapanese school leg: islation now before that body. ‘The president stated that the bill gives just and grave cause for frri- tation, and that the government would be obliged immediately to take ac tion in the federal courts to test such legislation, because it 1s held to be clearly a violation of the treaty obll- gations of the United States, The telegram to Speaker Stanton was sent only after a conference with Sen- ator Flint and Representative Kahn of California and F.

N. Gillett, the Callfornta assembly re- vorsed {ts previous position by re- considering the former vote on the segregation of Japanese students in the public schools, finally rejecting the measure by a'vote of 41 to 37. ‘An effort by the supporter of the bill to further consider was lost by. a vote of 38 to 38, and.the assem- bly is now clear of any Japanese measure objected to by the national administration. Governor Gillett said that the next matter to be-taken up by the assem- bly would be the proposed appropri- ation of $10,000 for the compiling of a census of Japanese in California, He sald that it from the data so gath- ered, Jt were found necessary, con- gress would be urged, to enact en Asiatic exclusion measure. “Under the measure between Japan nnd our government,” sald Governor Gillett, “tho former is pledged to re strict immigration, as‘ much as possi- ble.

C.—“It is as impor- tant to stop the needless manufacture of orphans as it is to take care of orphans.” * This, in a nutssell, is the view of Judge Ben B. Lindsey of the Denver juvenile court, who is probably the most famed friends of the children in the world. He had just come from ‘@ conference with President Roose- velt over the advisability of creating a children’s bureau in the depart- ment of the iriterfor, and was running over with his plans for the new child- reclaiming enterprise. 7 “How is it possible to prevent chil- dren'from becoming orphans Judge Lindsey was asked. “py. preventing the needless ac- cidental killings in mines and on rail- roads,” he replied quickly. “The state 1s responsible In a meas- ure for the care of dependent chil- dren, The state ought also to feel its responsibility in a larger meas- ure for the prevention of needless killings and maimings in our indus- trial activities. “For instance, take the fatalitles that occur in coal mines in the Unit- ed States each year, At a conserva- tive estimate, there are 2,000 new or- phans annually as a result of the kill- Ing of the fathers in coal mines. It is estimated that the period of de- pendency of these children is sixteen years. {n a single generation there are, at a conservative estimate, 40,- 000 children thrown upon the care of- the state or private charities Just as ‘a result of the coal mining accidents. ‘Think of it And this only in a eln- gle industry. “A third of such accidents could be prevented. This Is no. guess. It is demonstration. Proper Iinspectioa and regulation, as conducted in Ger- maby and Belgium, has resulted in decreasing fatal accidents a third. Perhaps the proportion {s larger, But suppose it Is a third; that is large enough, War Portiollo For Dickinson, Washington, D.

J had never met the relative in ques- jtlon, but from my wife's ample dis- ‘courso I had concelved her to be a ‘Uttle, gracious, old lady, whom apy man would be pleased to love—as a ‘grandmother. At this period of my imarried “life I had been thoroughly ‘subjugated by my other half, and at once acquiesced in the velled mandate jby expressing great pleasure in leav- ‘ing my work for a day to meet the grandmother. “The city editor may not like my asking for a day off, you know,” I remarked, even while giving in, 1 “Indeed,” she sniffed, “is that ma- terial?” \ “Not a bit.”" I hastened to answer. “He is a very immaterial person.” “Then, dear, you go. I have in my letters described you so explicitly that she will be sure to know you. Any sway, you will recognize her, for she ds the dearest, sweetest woman—" . “Old woman,” I corrected. \f “widerly woman in the world.” " “How does she look?” I asked, wishing to get a few pointers. “Ob, Yovely! When you see a lit- te mite/ot a thing with the dearest “gray hair and tho brightest eyes In “the world; a woman that—an elderly “‘Wwoman—you can feel lke giving a good hug, you'll know that's grand- ma.” ._ “She's sure to come?” * “Why, yes, quite sure. If for any reason she cannot, grandpa will tele- staph.” 7 In the morning I went down and made my peace with the city editor. When I left him he looked extremely , doubtful, and he has told me since that from my conversatiod he had ‘absorbed the impression that some relative of mine had passed away and sthat I was going to bring the body ‘home. Isworth was a junction and nothing Hise. A solitary grocery store and postoffice combined stood a little way from the station, while far and near a dense growth of alders completed the alr of desolation. The dows train from Waterville had already pulled in, and on leaving the car I had only to enter the low waiting room to find the object of my journey. As I opened the door a tall, gaunt ‘woman, dressed in funereal’ black, arose and accosted me fn a deep, hus. ky voice. : “Is this James?” “Yes,” I answered dreamily. “I am James, and is this—this—grand- mma?” : ‘ + "Young man, it's.” : -, I approached timldly for my wel- ‘coming kiss, for my wife had cau- tioned me in regard to this very ml. nutely. Grasping my intentions and decid- ing that they were honorable, she raised a heavy black vell and gave me ‘a sort of perfunctory sort of a-smack. She was fully as tail as I, and would weigh, I concluded, just one hundred and ninety-eight: "And this stern visaged woman was the one destined * to inculcate in my belng an irrepres- sible desire to-fold her to my bosom and lavish upon her ips grandfiltal Kisses! She eyed me sadly for a min- ute and then remarked: “I had hoped Eliza’s gat had got a better favored man.” My countenance must have ex- pressed sorrow, for she said: “But you hain’t to blame for your looks.

Last week in Columbus a mob was formed to lynch a colored man. The authoritiesspirited him away. He was accused of attempt to assault a white woman, who on investigation proved the innocence of the accused, Had the lawless mob been permitted to carry out their design another innocent man would haye been hurled into eter- nity. Lawiessness has broken out anew in the South. Nearly every day an account of the lawless ac- tion-of the white south is observ- ed. If these lynching of men had occurred so frequently in some isles of the seas the people of this country would arise with indigna- tion and in loud protest. They have dono so in many cases, but at their own door, their lips are seal- ed, and the lawless ones are per- mitted to carry on their heinous work. ‘Trrmay is indeed frank in his manner and at times tells some mighty truths. He has admitted on the floor of the senate on Mon- day what we have charged so very often that the disfranchisement law isillegal and only enacted to get tid of the,Negro vote. Tillman went further and said that he vot- ed tissue ballots so often in his State that he got tired and yoted once for a colored man, as if this was acrime. Some day theSouth will regret the enactment of these self-same disfranchisement laws. Lincoln Celebration. itesterday was Lincoins Dirth- day. It was observed all over the country. Savannah did its share in its honor. Last Sunday the services at the First Congregational Church were given over in’ observance of the . occasion. Rey.

Ho was a West Brose Street School boy and “Currytown” was his bsiliwick. Little did the boys — with whom he roamed and played the “‘richter” dreamed that their friend would, develop into the artist, and known in the vaud- eville world as ‘‘Musical” Ray. ie etal ae lenving hes Ir. gun to develop his musical ability, and today he is in a class by himself when it comes to make music out of the organ chimes, Swiss bells, musical glass- es, feather dusters, sleigh bells, musical coins, etc. . Mr. Ray is on a visit to his rela- tives and friends and will be here about three weeks. He has been requested to give several entertain- ments. He has appeared before the Sunday Club and pleased those who heard him. Last Monday he captivated a large audience at _the F. B. B, Church and has a re- turn engagement. Before leaving the city, assisted by other talents, ‘he may have a show at the theatre for benefit of Charity Hospital. ‘Tue Trinune is slways proud to note the progress and achieve meats of dur young men, and join in commending Prof, Ray and bid-' in a i, ee a ding him a royal welcome to his old home, ee | _ mneneOlasnens SO ee ee eS ee ee: ee men, strong in all the requisites of citizenship, is but the patronizing and supporting the individuals of the race, who haye created some- thing worthy of support. And herein rests the future of the Ne- gro race. Let me call attention to sotne special classes of men among us, whose presence is indispensa- ble, when reckoning of the physi- cal, as well as the moral and ma- ‘terial well being of our race. Our physicans form one of these special classes of our citizen body, that is absolutely dependent upon the patronage of the individuals of the Negro race for support. True, they may be called in consultation occasionally, but what accrues to them in the way of renumera- tion as the direct result thereof would not Lventure to state, clad a “Betsy Bug” during the four sea- sons of the year, They must,-there fore, grow fat ‘or lean upon the patronage of thé race to which they belong, Their pile and their poultices must mould and rot if they are ‘not used by the Negro. Now this class of men have ex-| pended minature fortunes in‘seeur- ing the knowledge that enables them to scientifically combat the diseases incident to life. They have “burned the midnight oil” digging after the facts which only study will reveal, and they should be rewarded by our patronage, for in giving it we reward and aro rewarded. ‘This class of men should succeed, for their success will not prove, solely, to be suc- cess to that class of men; but also, success to the entire race to which they belong. Theirs is practical- ly-a new field and all banda should lide up and work it well. But, as a class, they are but a unit in the great racial equation and it is the sum of all the units of a series that rounds out the perfect result, and, hence the absolute Receselly of combined effort. But the med- icos should not only be members of the creator class. They should also, join the patron class and, thereby, inject precept and example, while their patrons swallow pills. For a pill of example has often operated upon the system of sn whole community while the com- pounded article stirs only the in- dividual. Our doctors realize this fact—others must learn it. Now, there is another special and individual class in our citizen body, who haye spent ore to get lore, whose duties are as well de- fined as the duties of the doctors’ and whose labors are far more diversified if not as intricate, This class of individuals is the teacher class. The entire com- munity supports them in a way, unsolicited, Then it is almost en- firely ““np to them” to do the re- riproeity act. Unlike the doctors theirs is a fixed stipend and does not wabble with the fluxuations of | the price of commodities nor from stringency of coin. They aro therefore, an independent class and may dispense their patronage us they choose. But they- should choose and do choose to be patrio- ‘ic, and their position as a unit in he race patronage equation is vell defined. They do rot segre- vrate their forces. They dissim- nats their influence and patronage ‘mong the people and their powers |, for good in the community is very otent-and visible. Their influence hines out from the boys and girls| vho are daily taught by them, and. n no distant future, the real, reight, in influence, of this class} f our citizen body will not be} clipsed by any cloud of doubts as}, o its present effects, And, al-|; hough they do not solicit our pat-|! onare, they are, nevertheless de-| irous of our cooperation.

They are: the parisites of the body politic and operate in the yery bone and sinew of the race, leavinga poisonous residum that aches the frame and produces the groans which call the doctors from “restless beds.” There are other classes of the body politic, But, being of equal importance to the first two classes herein mentioned, they caanct, at this writing, be discussed.

Rolle of twenty centuries, extending as far back for its origin as the traditions and superstitions that have kept China from progressing to its rightful place among the nations, the Chinese wall is said to be doomed. This marvelous barrier, extending more than 1700 miles over mountain and valley, faces destruction. It is said that under the rule of the new regent, Prince Chun, progressiveness will be carried to a point where not only will the old order of government see its downfall, but all that physically recalls the past will also be destroyed. Tradition is the yoke that blinds China. It is the obstacle that has kept that country of marvelous resources, back. Prince Chun knows this, and it is said that in his desire to effect reform he will not content himself with merely establishing new methods in his systems of government, but will actually wipe out the physical relics which keep the face of China turned to the past rather than to the future. Of all these survivals, the Chinese wall is the most famous and the most wonderful. The countries of power in the world to-day were unknown when this structure was built to keep out the invader. In cataloguing the wonders of the world it has never been possible to make a classification that omitted the Chinese wall. It was 200 years old when Christ came to earth; but even then it was not the work of a young nation, for China has a history that can be traced back for 6000 years. The project for tearing down the Chinese wall originated some years ago, and it is said that the late Empress and her son, whose deaths coming so close together a few weeks ago so suddenly changed the whole aspect of the future for China, had consented to abolish the wall, and had even signed the contracts for its removal when superstitious fear seized them and the order was revoked. Descended as they both were of the Tsin dynasty that built the wall, and having that worship of ancestry that is deeply ingrained in the beliefs of the Mongolian, they feared at the last moment to commit this sacrilege on the master work of the dead. But Prince Chun, who is regent for the two-year-old baby Emperor is possessed of full authority, has no such scruples. He is not the offspring of emperors, and there is nothing to hold him in check. He is known to have strongly advanced ideas and to be especially independent and scornful where the old ideas of the past are concerned. Therefore it is probable that he will carry the work of demolition to a finish. The interest in whether he does so goes further than the mere question of the wall. It has to do indirectly with the future of the immense hordes who people the country. The wall is the symbol of the ancient that holds the country in check. If it be brought down the modernists will take it as a sign that the new ruler will during his stay as regent enforce the new ideals. If, in spite of his impulses, he is wont to let the great wall stay, China will settle back lazily and comfortably and decide that nothing radical will occur under the present regime. This is the situation that now gives such an extraordinary interest to the old line of fortifications. Modern artillery would speedily reduce the last vestige of the ancient barrier, but it was not built to withstand this kind of attack, and in the days when it reared its head over the landscape it was an impassable stronghold. The visitor who gazes at this stupendous construction is made to feel very modest as to the skill of the modern engineer. Experts of all nations have named it the most astounding piece of work ever performed by man. Even over the pyramids and the Sphinx it is given the credit. In imagination the spectator is moved back twenty centuries to the time that Shi-Hoang-ti, the greatest of Chinese heroes, reigned. China then led the world in wealth and in culture. The nation had a A RIFLED PIPE.LINE. It is 282 Miles Long and Taps the California Oil Fields. The most remarkable pipe line in the world, a line of eight inch pipe 283 miles long, has just been completed in the California oil fields. It runs from Oil City, in the famous Coalinga country, to the seaboard near Port Costa, and its length is the least wonderful thing about it. In this immense tube, with pumping stations twenty-four miles apart, a complete inner tube of flying, whirling water keeps the heavy crude oil from contact with the steel pipe. The well known antipathy of oil and water keeps the carried fluid and the carrier apart, but until the autumn of 1907 this comparatively simple principle had not been brought into use, and the problem of the transportation of oil was the greatest the producers of the West Coast had to face. Now this great obstacle has been removed, and Harriman's engines on the Southern Pacific and the furnaces of his steamers which are soon to ply the Pacific will be fed from this line, by which 17,000 to 20,000 barrels of thick 14 degree fuel oil can be moved over one of the twenty- great literature. It was possessed of wealth and culture, and the rich rewards of conquest constantly inspired the Mongols, wild tribes who lived in the country now called Mongolia, to make forays. They had invaded the country on the northern part, and were encroaching further toward Pekin and the provinces to the south. It was in this crisis that Shi-Hoang-ti performed the feats of valor that made his name forever famous in Chinese song and poem. Assembling a mighty army, he threw himself on the Mongolian hordes, fought them, defeated them, and sent them flying back from Chinese territory. But it was not enough to have downed the enemy. The Mongols always came back. They had a pertinacity that made them the most dangerous of foes. Therefore it became necessary to construct a barrier that would unfailingly perform its duty. Everything had to be done by hand, for the great engineering devices that to-day accomplish the work of five hundred men had not then been invented. But fortunately labor was plenty in this most thickly populated country in the world, and swiftly the great wall moved into its place, grim and powerful and able to withstand any assault that Mongols might make. Its battlemented walls are fifty feet high, and at every few hundred feet they bristle with towers where in days of yore Chinese warriors stood ever ready to repel the invader. The wall is twenty-five feet wide and is built for the greater part of its way with mortared brick and stone. When the Ming dynasty had come into power it duplicated, for a considerable extent, Shi-Hoang-ti's wall, and thus for a large part of the distance there is a double barrier. The most powerful part of the wall was that at Pa-ta-tiling, for this gate was only sixty miles from Pekin, and here it was that any charges directed against the nation would have to be repulsed. One great battle was fought here, for at the top of the Nankou Pass the gate was the nook of the last stand against the noted Mongolian warrior, Genghis Khan, and when he overrode the defenders it was down the pass and through the gate that the conquerur led his forces. He took the Mongols into China and conquered a country against which his people had been fighting for 1300 years. Kubla Khan also entered by this pass when he completed the conquest of China and made his realm the greatest the world has ever known. Genghis Khan and Kubla Klan were differently disposition. Genghis burned all the literature of China, but Kubla Khan protected the literature and helped along the people by wise measures that gave prosperity in agriculture and commerce. Kubla fixed places in the wall that had been ravaged by the wars of the centuries and undertook to restore tranquility in the country. Some historians have said that the great wall accounted for the sloth into which China fell. The huge barrier, which even to-day shows itself to be stoutly built, gave the people a sense of security and made them feel that no nation could overwhelm them. Centuries passed in this foolish delusion; but when the war with Japan came China discovered that she had been sleeping. Since the humiliation of that defeat by the Mikado, a determination has grown up among the younger element of the people to earn a place among the great nations, of the world. The old Dowager Empress and the weakling Emperor stood in the way. Now they are gone, and the country looks with hope to the strong man who is now at the helm. Along the pass of Nankou is to run the new-Russian railway. If it goes along a country from which the great wall has been razed China will feel, no matter how the remainder of the world may regret the passing of a famous relic, that a new era has dawned.—Seattle Post-Intelligencer. four mile sections every twenty-four hours. The pipe line, which is the invention of John D. Isaacs and Buckner Speed, is first rifled. These rifles, or corrugations, says the Technical World, are about one-eighth of an inch in depth and make one complete revolution of the pipe line in every ten lineal feet. Instead of heating the oil to thin it and make it travel the more easily through the pipe, as is the custom on all the Pennsylvania, Indiana' and Virginia lines, the heavy black fluid in this case is shot into the pipe coil with a ten per-cent addition of water. The centrifugal force given to the whole mass by the rifting of the pipe throws the water to the outside, forming a perfect sheath of coating in which the oil travels completely separated from the guardian water. This film between the oll and the pipe naturally reduces the friction to a great degree, as well as carrying along the oll at a much greater speed than thinner oll of higher gravity, much easier to move, has ever been carried.

A Christmas Tree for the Birds. A Christmas tree for sparrows was a feature of the celebration of the day in West Chester, Pa., when Mrs. James Mowen, who feeds the birds of her locality every day, placed a large cedar tree in a snow drift in her yard and decorated it with pieces of cake, bread, meat and other things for the birds. It is said at least 100 sparrows got a portion of the food during the day, and a nearby baker did a rushing business. The home birds seemed to have invited all those within a distance of many blocks and the yard was a busy scene, the tree being almost torn down by the birds.—Philadelphia Inquirer.

Plenty of regular exercise must be taken in order to keep the body in a healthy condition. Any excessive or unusual exertion, however, is sure to cause stiffness and soreness of the muscles and joints. To counteract this effect there is nothing better than Sloan's Liniment. Lay it on lightly where the muscles have been strained; it requires no rubbing for it penetrates right to the bone, relieves any congestion and inflammation and makes the muscles elastic and pliant. Sloan's Liniment is a great boon to athletes, for it not only relieves pain and stiffness, but it is an excellent remedy for sprains, cuts, bruises and cramps. Mr. J. F. Price of Tuscumbia, Ala., writes:—"I am an engineer on the Southern Road from Chattanooga to Memphis, Teen. The continued elevation of my arm upon the throttle gives it a sore feeling when on a long journey, and there is nothing that will take the soreness out like Sloan's Liniment, and I keep a bottle in my grip always."

An American Elbowed Into Gutter By "Politest People on Earth." Pleasant People on Earth. Tradition declares the French to be the most polite people, in the world. They're not, writes Samuel Hopkins Adams in Collier's. Individually the Frenchman may be courteous. Collectively he lacks the essential element of courtesy, regard for the feelings of others. Charming in private, in public he is an individualist to the verge of savagery. In the theatre he is a nulsance, on the street he is a boer, travelling he is—there is no other word adequate to the occasion—a hog. You discover this on the occasion of your first promenade in Paris. My first day on the boulevards of Paris was spent mainly in the gutter, my second in apologizing to people who were urging me thither. My third I devoted to doing some butting myself. My fourth, fifth and sixth I nursed laugh shoulders. Now I have a hardened spot in my soul and two more on the front of my collarbone, and I can look straight into the eyes of an elderly French lady with long gray whiskers and convince her that she doesn't want more than two-thirds of the sidewalk, and if she does want it who doesn't get it. This sounds ungentlemanly, but it's necessary. For if you let yourself get shunted into the street often enough it's only a question of time when a watchful taxi auto will get you. American Horses. The development of types of light horses has been notable in the United States, but according to a bulletin recently issued by the Department of Agriculture with a single exception the draft horses have been foreign strains transplanted. Of the light horses, the Narragansett pacer was a famous type in Colonial days. Later came the Morgan, the standard bred and the saddle horse. The specialization of these types has been a national business and in spite of importations from abroad the native stock has developed and held its own. Of draft horses, on the other hand, the only native type was the Canestoga, a breed that has now become completely extinct and has left no discernible traces on the native stock. For heavy work, therefore, Americans must depend upon the imported Percherons, Clydesdales and Shires. The national traits which have resulted in these conditions are evidently somewhat different from what has been supposed; for the speed mania is what has caused the light types to be developed and the heavy ones to be neglected. American breeders have sacrificed other qualities which, in the opinion of the Department of Agriculture, are more important in order to lower track records by a second or two. In the minds of most persons, Virginia, Kentucky and other parts of the South are most commonly associated with the pedigrees and development of the finest types of horses. To all who hold that opinion it will be instructive to trace, through the pages of the bulletin, number of great strains of racing, carriage and saddle blood which, although commonly associated with the South, in reality go directly back to New England. Wages Here and Abroad. In Dundee a girl running a side of seventy-two spindles on a jute dry spinning frame makes $2.25 a week of fifty-five hours and pays $1.70 a week for board and lodging. Those running two sides make $3.89 a week. In similar jute mills in Massachusetts for a week of fifty-five hours a girl-running one side of seventy-two spindles makes $8 and for two sides makes $9, and pays about $2.75 a week for board—Consular and Trade Reports. NO MEDICINE But a Change of Food Gave Relief. Many persons are learning that drugs are not the thing to rebuild worn out nerves, but proper food is required. There is a certain element in the cereals, wheat, barley, etc., which is grown there by nature for food to brain and nerve tissue. This is the phosphate of potash, of which Grape-Nuts food contains a large proportion. In making-this food all the food elements in the two cereals, wheat and barley, are retained. That is why so many heretofore nervous and run down people find in Grape-Nuts a true nerve and brain food. "I can say that Grape-Nuts food has done much for me as a nerve reviewer," writes a Wls. bride. "A few years ago, before my marriage, I was a bookkeeper in a large firm. I became so nervous toward the end of each week that it seemed I must give up my position, which I could not afford to do. "Mother purchased some Grape-Nuts, and we found it not only delicious, but, I noticed from day to day that I was improving until I finally realized I was not nervous any more. "I have recommended it to friends as a brain and nerve food, never having found its equal. I owe much to Grape-Nuts; as it saw me from a nervous collapse, and enabled me to retain my position."

To Open Bag of Sugar Easily. Place the bag of sugar in front of you, right side up, with the chain stitch at the left. With a pair of scissors, cut one stitch on the plain side. Now take one end from the front, between the thumb and finger of the right hand, and one end on the back, between the thumb and finger of the left hand. Pull on them at the same time, and the entire length will come out. If you wish the bag for any other use, turn wrong side out, and remove all the stitching the same way. Be sure and have the chain stitch at the left.—Boston Post. Take Time to Walk. The hurried movements incident to modern commercial life interfere in more ways than one with hygienic living. The urban resident who bolts his breakfast and hurries off to his indoor business or professional engagements deprives himself of one of the most important elements in the maintenance of his vital energy, and mental activity. Vigorous walking is a gobbled form of body exercise. It tends to increase the normal activity of every organ and function of the body. Were it more generally and actively engaged in by both sexes the necessity for gymnasia and other artificial substitutes would not be apparent.—American Cultivator. The Secret of Washing Gloves. "The only trouble about these wash gloves," said the lady, "is that they dry, after washing, so very stiff and boardlike." The salesman wrapped the soft, pale yellow gloves in tissue paper. "That is easily remedied," he said. "I'll tell you how to wash gloves so that they will dry soft and pliable, the same as new. After you have rinsed them quite clean, dip them in a final bath of fresh water and rub plenty of soap into them, drying them without rinsing this last soap out. The soap left in the gloves makes them wonderfully soft—they don't then need, after drying, to be rubbed soft with ten or fifteen minutes' hard labor. This soap secret being used, wash gloves are quite perfect. It is no wonder they are completely superseding the expensive kid glove, for they are half as cheap again and their washing is so easy—do them at bedtime, toss them on the radiator, and in the morning they are ready to put on."—New Orleans Times-Democrat GOOD THINGS TO EAT END HOW TO PREPARE THEM Flannel Bread.—One quart of milk, one-half cup of butter, whites of two eggs, one compressed yeast, flour enough to make a thin batter. Scollp Stew.—Scald one quart of milk, then add one pint of scallops; when to the boiling point add a piece of butter size of a walnut; salt and red pepper to taste. Syrup For Cornballs.—Half-cup water, one heaping cup brown sugar, one tablespoonful vinegar, a little cream of tartar. Boll ten minutes, stir in two tablespoonfuls butter, boll to the crack. Have corn warm and free from hard kernels, stir in all that can be covered with syrup. Vanilla Wafers.—One-third cup butter and lard mixed, one cup sugar, one egg well beaten, one-fourth cup milk, two and one-fourth cups flour, one lovely teaspoonful baking powder, one-half teaspoon salt, two teaspoons vanilla extract. Cream the butter, add sugar, egg, milk and vanilla. Sift together thoroughly the flour, baking powder and salt and add. Cranberry Sauce.—Put a pint of sugar and a pint of water into a deep saucepan. When they boll add one quart of well-washed cranberries. Shake them, covered, over the fire for ten minutes. Turn into a porcelain dish, or glasses, as preferred. They will be just right, sweet enough, juicy enough and cooked enough. Long cooking makes them bitter and dark-colored. Pineapple Chips.—The pineapple should be sliced thin and pared, placed on dishes and covered thickly with powdered sugar. For ten days these dishes must be kept in a slow oven or other heated place, and the slices turned each day. At the expiration of this time place the slices in a quick oven for just ten minutes, then remove, cool and place between layers of paper, with powdered sugar sifted over the fruit.

Of 2000 cans of cherries, apricots, plums, peaches and pears Prepared with syrups of different strengths and stored for two years in cases under rather unfavorable con- ditions, only six cans from the beet sugar Jot and seven cans trom the cane sugar lot were found to be spoiled, evidently owing to imperfect sealing. This shows, according to a report of the station, “the uttor lack of foundation for the idea that fruits do not keep well when preserved with beet sugar, and that such sugar does not work well in the cannery.”— ‘American Cultivator. ~ Work in Poultry Yard. *° Many people are getting ifred of eating pork and old dairy cows, and are becoming eaters of chicken, mut- ton and veal, thus increasing the pos- sibilities of the sheep and poultry business. Farmers make amistake when they select special purpose fowls. The number of cokerels hatched and ralsel make it essential that we do not lose sight of the money that comes in from that source. ‘When we find that we cannot use a ration for our laying hens that some one else has used successfully we may be sure that something is wrong with our flock or our methods. As soon as we find a well balanced ration that produces good results we shonld stick to it, for changes in the Une of feeding aro often ezpensive and produce heavy losses. ‘When poultey can cat and thrive on all kinds of food and produce good results it ts very good evidence that they are constitutionally strong.— Drovers’ Journal. * ‘Money in Fruit Growine, * ‘- There is big money in fruit grow- 4ng, but an element of uncertainty and speculation enters into it to a large extent, according to Professor T. C. Karns, the Tennessee farming authority. Tho uncertainty of crops 4s the greatest drawback. What any Season may bring forth in the way of late spring frosts is entirely prob- Jematical. The numerous diseases that now fafest orchards also deter many from undertaking the business. Wet this drawback may be overcome by sefentifie culture, spraying, etc. And still there fs big money in the business to the’man of energy who knows what he is doing. It is true he must walt a fow years for his re- turns, but when they do come they are abundant. No little part of the profit fs in the increased value of the land whero otchards are planted. Where the grower can work up a gen- eral interest’ and hdve all his nefgh- Bors go into the business, lands of- ten rise In four or five years from $20 an acre to $100. Where, the owner desires only to speculate this appreciation of the land itself pays him handsomely. . = ees vee *""- -Beedine the Herd. ~~ “ L. P. Bailey, president of the Ohio Board of Agriculture, says his prac tice of feeding the milking herd fs as follows: Grain at 4.45 a. m. Begin milking at 5.30, which requires about one and one-half hours. After milk- ing feod all the silage the cows will eat up clean, usually about fifteen or twenty pounds. At 10 a. m., if weath- er fs not stormy or too cold, the cows are all turned out to water and the stables freed from all animals. If weather is favorable they remain out until 3 p. m., when they are put ack in the stable, and each cow fs given about one pound of grain. This Is merely a bait to make them come Into the stable and remain in their stalls until they can be fast- ened. They are then given as much hay, prefersbly clover, a8 they will eat without waste. Besin milking al 5 p.m. After milking we feed silage with grain mixed in {t. The stables are then closed for the night. For grain feed we uso dried brew- ers’ grains, gluten feed, molasses grains, wheat bran, corn and cob theal, cottonseed and dil meal. We never use all these foods at onee, but aim to, make a balanced’ ration as near as possible. I bave been using silage for fifteen years. I use round silos, with wooden hoops itiside and outside wo by four Inch studing. They are lined on the fuside with good pine flooring. + Preventing Discase Among Hogs. Cold weather is now at hand and this fs the season of the year when disease of some kind is most llkely to break out among the hogs. The changeable weather and new feed make it necessary to watch the hogs closely, while crowding them for the market, As every farmer knows, it 1a much easlor to prevent discase than to cure it. There {s perhaps no ani- ‘mal upon the farm which succumbs more readily to disease*than the hog. We have a little warning which will allow us to doctor the horso or the cow, but it is not so with the hog. He may seem to be all right one day, and the next it will be too late to cure him. All of this proves that we must watch the hogs closely and give them the best possible care, before disease gets a foothold. We must be particularly careful about allowing contagious disease to get a start or to spread through the herd. There are many ways of carrying diseaso germs from one herd to another. Strangers, dogs, crows and streams ‘ot water which flow through lots or pastures where the disease has been raging are some of the most common. Circumstances will suggest others. ‘We must be on the constant lookout and guard against these wherever possible. The hog {s a clean animal, and he fs too often forced to be otherwise. Cleanliness ts a very necessary fea- ture for best results. The feed troughs and hog houses should be kept clean, and the animals allowed to partake of no other feed or water but that which is clean.—W. H. U,, in Indiana Farmer, Celery Culture. “Please give us through your pa- per the best way to raise celery, and the care of it for winter on the farm. and oblige, F. JONES.” We are glad to reply to such quer- fes as this; {t shows that our farmers are trying for some of the luxuries as well as tho necessities and comforts of the table that are within their reach. Perhaps we ought not to speak of celery as a luxury, although quite often it ts that; it 1s also one of the most healthful of vegetables. But why did not Mr. J. ask this question last spring? He must know that it is too lato to do anything with stich a plant this season. To de- seribe the method of celery culture now would be a waste of time. The information would be all forgotten before planting time next year, and the number of the Farmer contain- {ng tho information would be lost. So we will give only a few facts re- garding the soll, its preparation, etc., at this time, promising if we are re- minded of it, to continue the subject when the season approaches again. Celory does best in rich, mellow, sandy loam, moist and yet drained. Well rotted leat mold and stable manure should be used freely. Well drained muck soll makes good celery soil, such as prevails along the Kan- kakee River. Such solls should be treated with potash, but not with ni- trogen. It fs 2 good plan to grow an early maturing crop like lettuce, beans or peas before setting out the celery if the ground fs rich enough. In this way you get two crops in a season and fit the sofl the better for the celery-plants. The profits of the ‘crop, if you are growing for the mar- ket, will depend upon the manner and ‘expense of getting it to your custom- ers and your caro in handling, etc, ‘The value of the crop fs ostimated at from $100 to $200 per acre, after deducting about $100 for expenses of cultivating, handling, ete.—Indiana Farmer. _ aes Gathering Air Nitrogen. Remarkable advante fs being made in the gathering of nitrogen direct from the alr, without the intervon- tion of nitrogen gatherifg bacteria. Several pewerful companies in Nor- way have buflt Immense dams across gome of the snow fed rivers of that country and have déyeloped immense water powere, This power fs used for the making of electricity, to be used in the capturing of the nitrogen of the air. The electricity 1s passed through great’ metal plates in d fur- nace, and the current of air that passes through tho space between the plates {s heated te a very high femperature. It ylelds up its nitro- ‘gen, which fs deposited in a form that has to be passed over free-lime to fix it, The me over which it fs passed absorbs it, and in this form it Is sold under the name of linfe nitrogen. ‘This Iime nitrogen {s used for fer- tilizer and takes the plate of nitrate of soda. The production is now many thousands of tons a year for each of the large factories. So, great is the value of this Ime nitrogen for agri- cultural purposes that companies are being formed in many countries to take advantage.of tte, existence of great water power and build factories forthe manufacture of this product. ‘The result {s suré™to be revolution- ary. The water power going to waste in all parts ‘of the world {x beyond human calculation, and the supply of power possible of utilization is with- out limit. ‘The whole world is certain to feel the effects of this remarkable devel- opment, The agriculture of the Old World wij be the first to experienco 2 new stimulation from {t, on account of the great needs of the European lands for nitrogen, The first factories constructed have been in Europe, and ‘this will be‘another reason why the Europeans will be the first to benefit by the new manufacture.

Let us not lose sight of the weacu- ings of Masonry, to believe in Goa, in His revealed works to mankind, that He punishes vice and rewaray virtue, That we are bound by filial love and duty. The love of home and family and those dependent on us is the consideration of right con- duct, We must learn to labor and tu wait, we must suffer, éndure, forgive and forbear. The Mason who has thoroughly mastered these truths has the basis of a strong and useful Ife. —Ceorze W Ward, ‘The prime duty of every Mason Is to be tight and to do right. Masonry teaches its subjects to be good men and true. The Masonic neophyte as he ascends the mystic ladder sees truth everywhere clothed: In the beau- ty of symbolism, and by applying this to his everyday life 1s enabled to rise to that station beyond which no man can go higher, that of a good man and true. We are patrons of old truths which have stood the test of time, In proportion as we keep these master facts before us do we prove oprselves true Masons. Men are apt to forget inthe hurry of life and bue- tle of business that they have higher and more sacred duties to perform.

Our beloved brother Is one of the oldest Masons in-Georgia, and no one loves Masonry better than he, and especially in carrying out its principle: ‘Augusta, Ga, January 27, 1909. My Dear Tribune: . i ‘There has just dled a few days ago in Brooklyn, N. ¥., John R. Barefield, one of the.old citizens of Augusta, a man justly respected by everybody. Brothér Barefleld was one of the pt oneers of Masonry in Georgia, one of the founders of Bennaker Lodge No. 4 of Augusta, and ‘one. that took a great ‘part im organizing the Grand W.

The first meeting to organize a lodge in Augusta was held at his residence In ‘April, 1866. At that, meeting was the lamented Rev. Robert T. Rent, who was made a Mason in 1853 in the clty of Philadelphia, Penn The applica- tion was made to the Most Worship- fol Grand Lodge of Pepisylvanta for @ dispensation to open a lodge in Angusta, which was granted, and the lodgo was organized on June 24, 1866 with Brother James A, Jackson Worshipful Master; Robert T. Rent, S. W.; Joba R. Barfield, J. W. We had as helpers in the work Brother Louls B. Toomer, Charles L. Delamot ta, R. S, Thomas and Rev. Sandford, all of Savannah, There were enough initiated, passed and raised in the two days and nights to start,the lodge to work. The lodge received its war- rant on December 27, 1866, as Ban- naker Lodge No. 38, and@worked: un- der that warrant till June, 1870, when we received our present charter from our own Grand Lodge signed by M. W. G. M. James M. Sims, ‘We are working under that charter at the present time. ‘That warrant was granted to John R. Barefleld, James G. Snowden, R. L. Newsome, F, M. Dugas, John ‘M. Johnson, Lind- sey Moore, ‘and George Hankerson, Myself and Brother Dugas are the only survivors of the old charter members, Brother Barefield made Lis home Im Augusta up to about five years ago, when he moved to Brook- lyn to live with bis daughters, where he died two weeks ago, being about 70 years old, He was buried in Brooklyn, Thus do the old landmarks pass away, but thanks to the Grand Archl- tect,” Masonry still lives and gets better and grander every day, Yours fraternally, - R.

No observant man can longer shut his eyes to the fact that the contest- ing forces in our modern society have broken its unity and destroyed its or ganic harmony—not because that was inevitable, but because men have used their power thoughtlessly and selfishly, and becauso legittmate undertikings have been-pushed to illegitimaty lengths. ‘The most’striking fact about the actual organization of modern society 18 that the most conspicuous, the most readily wielded anu the most formidable Dower is not the power of government, but the power of capital. We have forgotten what the power of government means, and have found, out what the power of capltal means, and so We do not fear government and are not jealous of political pawer. ‘We fear capital and are jealous of {ts domination, = . There will be need of many cool heads and much excellent judgment amongst us to curb this new power without throwing ourselves back into the Bult of old (governmental) domination, from which we were fhe first to find practical way of escape. Capital now looks to the people Ikea force and Interest apart, with which they must deal as with a master, and not as with a friend. No one can mis- take the fact and no one knows better than the manipulators of capital how many circumstances thero aro to justify that impression. We can never ex~ cuse ogrselves from the necessity of dealing with facts. I am sure that many bankers must have realized that the most isolated and the most criticised interest of all Is banking: The banks are, in the gen- eral view and estimation, the especial and exclusive instrumentallties of cap-. ital, used on a large scale. They stand remote from the laborer, and the body ‘of the people, and put whatever comes into their coffers at the disposal of the great captains of industry, the great masters of finance, the corporations” which are in the way to crush all competitors. I shall not stop to ask how far this view of the banks is true. But they are, in fact, singularly remote from the laborer and the body of the psople, from the farmer and from the small trader of our extensive countrysides. I trust you pill not think me impertinent if I say that they (the bankers) excuse themselyes from knowing a great many’things which it would be man- ifestly to their Interests to know, and that they are sometimes singularly ig- norant, or at least, singularly indifferent, about what I may call the coclal ‘and political functions of banking, particularly in a country governed by CO - en: Make Use of Swamp a“ Land a In Most Cases, by a Proper System of Dre age, It May Be Made to Pay, pape, HERE is a great deal of low land In every state.

During these last three wet seasons there have been many acres of low lands that could not be culti- vated, and consequently were waste lands. I want to make — a little suggestion as to kow we can make use of these lands. Sow them down with tame erases. ‘I have goo through many bfg sloughs,that ran through two or three farms and noticed that while one farmer had a fine stand of timothy hay right on the lowest spot his neighbor, whose land wasn’t any lower, let it go to weeds. Ono far mer in particular hauled off two loads of this hay an acre, worth $8 a load, while his neighbor was paying taxes on the same kind of land and didn’t get a cent from“it, ‘This timothy and clover will not only net a good income; but will Increase the fertility of the soll, thus putting it in fine shape for grain growlng when the wet season 1s over. Land worth $50 to $100 an acre {s too valuable, to let Me as wasteland, when you can easily get $16 an acre out of it. The trouble in such cases {s that such land has always been waste land, and the farmera attention has never been called to, the possibility, of reclaimnig it easily and cheaply. Sometimes a shallow ditch through the lowest part will carry off most of the water quickly, thereby rendering a portion of the ground suitable for certain crops, Of course, the real remedy fs a thorough system of drainage, with tiles uaa: Haake watt be thas hick acoonda. 2 ° ‘4g, - Is Your Hair Beautiful CA, Soft, Silky and Long?
