AGRICULTURAL Elk
PORTS.

1t is gratifying to all and especially
sured that the wise and benefcent policy
inaugurated By Secretary Rusk of ia
cilitating in every way the export de-
mand for our staple agricultural pro-
ducts is to be continued under the new
administration.
Instead of curtailing the work Of in
Producing American corn in Europe the
department of agriculture intends to
push it with greater vigor," said Score
tary Morton. Colonel Murphy has
been doing a splendid work in Germany
and England especially, and it is due
largely TO his labors that our export of
corn and its products has been immense
~ increased during the past year or
two" continued the secretary. We
quote further something of interest to
the people of the great corn belt:
''Ihe lame part of our work of intro
ducing corn products in Europe has
been the meager preparations for demon
strating by actual cookery what we can
to make flapjacks, pancakes, corn bread,
mnsh and the like. They should be To-
Gated in all the large cities of Europe. We
are now putting up 10-cent packages Of
these products for domestic consump-
ton. 1t is comparatively easy to intro
duce food article abroad when it comes
i'll such accessible form. English con-
sumers of our corn products are trying
to establish grist and hominy mills in
their country. We must do the manu-
featuring i'll this country and export the
products ready for consumption, not
only because it employs our labor. but
because it gives the consumers better
article of food.
Corn is hard to export IN bulk. 1t
sweats and easily becomes too musty to
make palatable food. By pushing this
work of introducing our corn into
Europe few years longer, it will no;
only carry itself, but make for our
farmers one Of the most profitable crops
we now produce. This will be one of the
aims of the present administration.

The proposed drawing lots for land in
the strip when it is declared open for oc-
cupancy grows in favor. It will give
everybody en- equal chance, do away with
the rush in which the poor ana needy,
poorly equipped, will have equal show
with any one, no matter how well pre-
pared for the race.
We find this and similar expressions
in a number of our exchanges, but
think that those who favor the lottery
scheme DO so under misapprehension
The reason set up in the paragraph
quoted is all that can be said in favor
of the plan suggested, and yet it would
simply transfer the race for claims to a
scramble for position at the land office,
else it would invite large numbers to
enter the competition for claims who
would not think of making the race,
thereby lessening the chances of those
who are in earnest in their efforts and
desires to secure homes. There are
objections 10 the plan adopted for the
Oklahoma opening, and it is doubtful
that any plan could be devised that
would give universal satisfaction, but 1t
IS certain that the lottery plan will not,
and would be as far from it as any that
could be suggested.

THE GUESTS THEIR COOKS,
A Practical Joker Carries OF All tho
Hotel Help in His Yacht.

A 1TdFttCEi JOkSr &aTFfcS VIZ Az the
Hotel Help in His Yacht.
There is a certain yachtsman who
loves joke, especially one OF prac-
teal kind. He is rich and can there
fore indulge this weakness with less
fear Of the consequences than most
people would have. Last year he made
his headquarters at one of the hotels
on the Jersey coast, taking frequent
cruises on his schooner yacht. Being
liberal with his money, he was the
''star boarder" at the place, and the
proprietor put up with his eccentrici-
ties rather than lose his valuable
patronage. One day in August the
yachtsman said to the hotel-keeper:
Your servants have 70 work pretty
hard, don't they?'
We'll, yes" was the hesitating re-
ply.
They seem very faithful, and 1
think they deserve little rest"
Yes" said the hotel man, wonder
ing what was up.
I've been thinking that it would do
them lots of good to have sail on my
yacht"
''Oh, that would be too great IA
vor." replied the other. Besides,
they haven't time to go on such trip"
Yes, they have. They can go di-
rectly after luncheon and get back in
time to cook dinner"
You would be sure to bring them
back in two or three hours?"
Certainly; you needn't worry about
that"
Consent was given, and the guest in
vited all the servants for An after
moons cruise. They accepted the offer
eagerly. The next day was named for
the time. Luncheon was hurried
through with, and the start was made
without washing the dishes The
yacht was of good size, SO that there
was room for everyone. All the en-
ployes of the hotel went, except the
clerks. The cooks and their helpers,
the walters. hall boys. baggage hand
lers, dIsh-washers and all the rest put
on their best bibs and fuckers for an
afternoon off" The day was fine
one, and the sail was immensely en-
loved. The owner of the vessel was
even more delighted than his guests
Four o'clock came and the vessel was
miles from the hotel. The cooks be-
gan to get anxious. They were assured
it was ell right. After an hour or
two capital supper was served, and
Mary Ann and james forgot all about
their duties on shore. When their
host said: 81 wonder what the peo-
pie at the hotel are eating" there was
great shout of laughter. All con-
scented to the mutiny against their en-
ployer, and didn't mind sailing until
ten or eleven o'clock, when the
schooner finally landed. IN the mean
time the guests We're in fine state of
mind, and the proprietor was beside
himself. At six o'clock some of the
people went into the kitchen, washed
few dishes. cooked coffee and got to-
gether some cold food. A few thought
it all great joke. When the yacht
ing party returned the hotel-keeper
couldn't scold his employees, and didn't
dare offend his rich guest. He. there
fore, smiled, IN forced fashion it is
true, when the yachtman asked him
cheerily: How did you enjoy your
dinner?''-Elmira Telegram.

but the chief reason for it is no doubt
found in the contest over the seat occu-

Globe Democrat: 1.-The most pleasing

The people of that erratic state will have
completely returned to their senses be-

pose. The people of the state were already
more than tired of the erratic course of

they seized the first opportunity to let
the world know it.
