WHOLE WHEAT OR BRAN FOR FEED.
ING.
DON'T PAR ron DIRT OR WEED sEEDs.
THE ROOD COST or DIGESTION
SHOULD BE CONSIDERED. SELLING

Chemical analysis shows wheat bran
to be worth more for feeding stock than
the meal Of whole wheat.
OF digcstible albumlnoids wheat con-
talns 9.3 per cent while wheat bran con-
tains l2.0 per cent or about 30 per cent
more than whole wheat. According to
this one having wheat on hand unstable
at paying prices and deslring to feed Il
instead Of selling could afford to swap II
or for bran, and II he got pound for
pound would make good bargain.
I doubt II many farmers believe that
such trade would be profitable. But
beliefs without facts to support them do
not count much In these days Of careful
scientific Investigation.
Nor are facts worth much till they are
arranged and classified. My garden

potash, but II II Il locked up In granite
cobble stones it will not do my crops

will wisely select 1t In preference to the
overripe hay.
Hoard's Dairyman well says, 1--WE do
not yet know anything about the food
cost Of digestion, nor why II is that
albumluolds, carbohydrates and fat In
one form or combination, have more
feeding value or energy than In some
other form or combination. IL may cost
more to digest some foods than they are
worth lust rs there is great waste In
burning some kinds Of fuel"
In estimating values OF feeding stuffs
Il must be remembered that samples
vary greatly just as do samples OF stable
manure. Bran may be clear wheat hulls
or Il may be made up largely OF ground
weed seeds Of many kinds, sweepings OF
mills, etc. When bran Il scarce and dear

When buying bran one should select
that which Is

TWENTY-FIVE LIVES LOST.
Sinking of a Passenger Steamer Off tho
Cornwall Coast.

LONDON, May 15.-The captain of the
steamer City of Hamburg, which ar
rived at Swansea yesterday from Ham
burg, reports that his vessel collided in
a fog off Trevose Head, coast Of Corn
wall, with the ship Countess Evelyn,
bound with passengers and iron ore
from Bilboa, Spain, to Newport, Wales.
Ninety seconds later the Countess
Evelyn went under with its crew of
sixteen and with nine passengers.
Boats were lowered at once from
the City of Hamburg, but the search in
the fog proved almost useless. Seaman
Jarbin was picked up, but he died
few minutes after having been brought
aboard the steamship. The dead body
Of little girl was also found. Other
wise the attempt at rescue was result
less. The lost passengers were the
English wife and the son and daughter
of a Spanish gentleman in Bilbao; Mrs.
Williams, her son, and infant daughter;
two men named Barton, and Lon
dOner whose name has not learned.

Brightest Part of NV TrID.

The New York fashion correspondent
of a Southern paper gives out the fol-
lowing:
a lady writes: 81 have read your let
ters for a long time, and have often
envied you the opportunity you enjoy
of seeing the beautiful things you de-
scribe. | used to think, when [ read
Of those charming dresses and parasols
and hats at Lord & Taylor's, that theirs
must be one of those stores where a
timid, nervous woman like myself, hav
ing but few dollars to spare for a
count that she would receive little atten-
ton; but when you said, in one Of your
letters few months ago, that goods
the same quality were really cheaper
there than elsewhere, because they
sold more goods in their two stores than
any other firm in New York, and that
because they sold more they bought
more, and consequently bought cheaper,
[ determined, if l ever went to New
York, would go to Lord & Taylor's.
''That long Waited-fOr time came in
the early autumn, and l found myself
standing before that great entrance,
with those wonderful windows at either
side. [ summoned my courage and en-,
tered, as | suppose tens of thousands OF.
just such timid women as [ have done
before. My fears were gone in an in,
slant. The agreeable attention put me;
at my ease at once, and felt as much
at home as though were in the little
country store where my people have.
traded for nearly quarter of cen
fury.
And now, as wear the pretty things
[ purchased, or see them every day and
find them all SO satisfactory, [ think oR
my visit to this great store as the bright

THREE BIG BANK FAILURES.
Houses in Australia Suspend with Liabilities
in the Millions.

BRISBANE, May 15.-The Bank Of
North Queensland, limited, has sus-
pended The Queensland National
Bank has also suspended. The deposits
in the Queensland National Bank last
December amounted to eS, 100000, of
which amount one-half was from Great
Britain. The subscribed capital of the
Queensland National Bank is GIG, 000,
600, of which one-half is paid up. The
bank has claimed a reserve fund Of
e4S5 900 The bank has branches in
Sydney, n. s. W., and various other
places in Australia.
LONDON, Nav 15.-The suspension of
the National Bank of Queensland has
caused no excitement in financial circles.
The officials of the National cable from
Brisbane that the stOppage is due to the
Persistent withdrawal of deposits The
shares of the National Bank of Queens
land have been at discount for weeks in
the Stock Exchange and the stOppage of
the bank causes no surprise. The Off
Gals of the National express confidence
that it will be reconstructed as it still
retains valuable securities.
Private cable dispatches have been
received to the effect that the CONNER
cial Banking Company, Of Sydney, n.
:. W., has suspended. For this and
other reasons the uneasiness on the
London Stock Exchange is increasing.
The Commercial Banking Company, of
sydney, is one Of the oldest bank
ing establishments in the antipodes,
having been established in 1884
and incorporated iii 1913. The
capital is $500, 900 and the reserve was
stated to be GS30, 0G0. r. K Dibbs is
the general manager in Sydney and the
board in London consists Of Sir James
Arndell You'll, f. II. Dangar, A. O. Rob
inson, B. Buchanan, Edward Knox and
Nathaniel Cork, the last named being
the London manager. The Commercial
Banking Company has many branches
in Queensland and New South Wales.
R. Hodgson & Sons, we'll known as
brokers for thirty years past, and who
were mentioned on Saturday as having
failed, have been helped over thei1
difficulties. The Stock Exchange is
nervously excited, and although the
failure of only two small brokers has

FRANCE MASSING TROOPS,
Reports That Troops Are Being Conferred
on the Frontier Of Germany.

Berlin, May 15--It is stated here to-
day on semi-otficial authority that the
reinforcement of the French troops
stationed on the eastern frontier of
France is proceeding with method and
regularity. The French government,
according to the same authority, is like
wise extending and strengthening the
military lines adjoining the German
frontier and planning with view to
prompt and effective contraction The
barracks at the entrenched camp
have been greatly enlarged, and
at the Epinal two new bar
racks have been built and an
addition made to the garrison. On the
same semi-Official authority it is stated
that men are at work night and day
laying double lines Of rails on the line
OF the Paris d Nancy Railway between
Blesme and Rev,gny, in order to
hasten the mobilization of the
French troops. The Frankfort Zeitung,
commenting upon the foregoing state
ment, and on others in official news dis
patches of a similar character, states
that reports Of the kind are obviously
intended to influence the electors in
the coming elections for the Reichstag

STRUNG UP BY A MOB.
John Terrell, Slayer of Conductor Price,
Hanged at Bedford Ind.


Hanged at Bedford, Ind.
BEDFORD, Ind, May 15.-~At 2:lO this
morning a mob of 100 men appeared be-
fore the jail here, forced the sheriff to
give up the keys and took John Terrell,
who murdered Conductor L. F. Price at
Seymour, from his cell and hanged him
in the jail yard. Terrell begged for his
life, but his appeals were met with
silence. The lynching was conducted
in the most orderly manner, Terrell's
cries being the only sound heard. After
lynching their man the mob requested
that the body be not taken down until
daylight after which it dispersed.
The mob hanged Terrell to a tree in
the jail yard within twelve feet of the
railroad track SO that all passing trains
this morning can see his body. He was
dressed as though he had been expect
ing them. There were fOrtv-three men
at the Jail masked and about fifty or
sixty standing guard at different points

TerrelPs crime was the murder OF
Conductor L. L. Price Of the Ohio q
mississippi road. The assassination
was as cowardly as it was brutal. 1t
seems that Terrell rendered an old pass
when asked for his fare, which the con
ductor refused. After All alteration
Terreu's father, wealthy stock dealer
Of Lawrence County, paid his fare for
him. Price then left and was standing

Red Hair is All Right.

Don't be ashamed Of your red hair.
The scientists say that it means that
there is a superabundance of iron in
the blood. And the Analyst says that it
is the matter that enters into red hair
that imparts vigor, the elasticity, the.
great vitality, the overfowing, thorough
~ healthy animal life which runs
through the veins of the ruddy-haired,
and this strong, sentient animal lift is
what renders them more intense in all
emotions than their more lanquid fell
low creatures. Philosophers notice it
as peculiar fact that red-haired old
maids are very rare; they seem to have

CHICAGO, H., May 1.-THE Columbia
National Bank of this city suspended to-
day. The bank had Offices in the In
surance Exchange. The deposits were
81, 100000 and the capital $4,000
Rumors that the institution was in
trouble have been current for
nearly week. 1t did business
with small country banks and
was not in esteem with the other
banking concerns Of the city. AS to the
cause Of the failure, those who should
know say that collections on loans have
been poor. The officers of the bank
are: L. L. Everingham, president; w.
G. Bentley, vice-president; Zimri D.
Virgins, cashier; John T. Greene, as
sistant cashier.
Notices announcing the suspension Of
the Columbia National Bank were posted
on the doors, and a few moments later
James D. Sturges, bank examiner, as
sumed control in the interests Of
depositors and under authority Of the
comptroller of the currency. The Co
lumbia National was reorganized two
years ago out of the old United States
National Bank. Estimates by bankers
intimate with its affairs make this show
ing: Deposits, 100000, discounts,
81 ,250 900, or total Of s., 250, GOO; liabil~
tiles, 81 100000.
A constant run on the bank since the
announcement Of the Chemical suspen-
sion decided the directors to close the
doors. A call for help was made, but as
ho nj 10
morning, insufficient time was allowed
for an investigation and the request was
denied. The Columbia was not mem

The statement is made by Lyman j.
Gage that to the best Of his belief adj
mission to the association was
asked about year ago and
was refused after an investigation
was made. Instead, the concern cleared.
through the Metropolitan National.
Last night officers Of the latter institu
ton learned that the Columbia would
be short to-day, and this morning mott
fcation was made by the Metropolitan
that checks would no longer be paid. A
meeting Of the directors was called and
suspension was decided on
After suspension was decided, the an
nOuncement was made in the following
notice:
