S55,OO0,0O0 SYNDICATE
THREE GREAT BAKERY COMPANIES
TO BECOME A MONSTER TRUST.
Americans Expect to Invade Foreign
Mark Plan One
of the Features.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Dec. 19-S. S. Marvin
president of the United States Bakery Com
pany, returned from New York to-day and
announced that the consolidation of the
three great cracker companies of the United
States is now an assured fact. The deal
has been practically consummated, and only
details of organization remain to be set
tied. The capitalization of the big COM
bine, he says, will be $55, O0O, 900, and it will
be IN operation by Jan. 1, 1893. The three
companies entering the trust are the New
York Biscuit Company, the American Bak-
ing Company and the United States Bakery
Company. The latter is now capitalized at
5000 coo, while the other two are rated at
$4,000, GOO each.
Mr.. Marvin says of the $55 COO 900 capital
that $50, 600 will be preferred stock and
$3OCO0,0O0 common. The preferred will be
issued in shares of $100 each. He says the
Sreat and primary object of the combine is
to invade foreign markets and open up an
outlet for the overproduction of bakeries
in this country. Another object is to estab-
liSh cooperative company, one in which
the employees can have opportunity to
own stock by investing their savings IN
tEat way instead of depositing in banks
The location for headquarters of the new
company has not been decided on but New
York seems to be generally favored A
meeting OF the companies will be held in a
few days to elect officers and settle all de-
tails.

The Matter of Appearances.
Farm News.

Appearances are sometimes deceitful, but
they are not altogether untrustworthy We
are all compelled to depend upon them
very largely in forming our estimation of
things and persons around us. We Judge of
a growing crop or an animal by appear
ances; we are influenced in our opinion of
the farm hand who applies to US for work
by his appearance; we like or do not like
his looks. But, as class farmers have
Deen so intent upon the real thing that we
have overlooked the Importance of appear
ances. We often forget that others judge
us and our work solely by the appearance
we make and we do not give enough at
tention to mere appearances. 1t is mis-
take. Many a good product of the farm
brings much lower price than it deserves
simply because its appearance has not been
made the best possible. Many farm is
sold greatly under its real value because
the owner has not taken the care to give it
neat and attractive appearance, and many
worthy farmer, with the soul of a true
man, brave and noble and wise, has passed
for a boor because he has neglected his
personal appearance. Farm products are
not knickknacks; the farm is not pleasure
park; the farmer is not a dude; but they
all worthy careful consideration, and
the farm, the farmer and the farm prod
ucts, If they are to create the best impress
sion upon the world, must each put his
best foot forward" Look after the APP

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Dec. 19.-To-mor-

alton of Labor convention, while others in
sist that two days will be required to COM
plete the consideration of all important mat
tiers. The defeat of NJ. ID. Ratchford, pres
ldent of the United Mine Workers, for the
position of fraternal delegate to England
has caused a good deal of talk, and the de-
parture Of Mr. Ratchford and his colleague
I. l.. Lewis, on an early train this morn
ing, gave emphasis to some of the rum1rs.
1t Is intimated by some that Ratchford was
thrown down. in the balloting, and some
of his friends claim that the rulings on the
different ballots and the decisions as to the
number of votes required to elect were
against him. Some of RatchfOrd's friends
nave been very. severe in their criticisms
of the presidents rulings, but there seems
to be no disposition to bring the matter be-
fore the convention though If any Cppor-
tunity is offered to get in a blow against
the rulings complained of, it will probably
be taken advantage of. Mr.. Ratchford him
self, If he feels as his friends say they do
did not show it, but to all appearances left
in the best of humor. Before leaving he
said the convention had done some most
important work, especially in forwarding
the elght-hOur movement and the action
taken in regard to the restriction Of immi-
grafton along the lines of an educational
test. Both movements, he claimed, were

Harper's Round Table.

The collecting of postage stamps. and the
gan Immediately after the issue of the Null

first published notice of such collecting Is
said to have appeared in Punch in 1S4l.
The first government to follow the ex-
ample of Great Britain was that OF Brazil,
which issued the large figure stamps IN lS43.
Other countries slowly followed, until the
growth of commerce, made possible by rail-
roads and ocean steamers, and the conSe-
quent increased domestic and foreign cor
respondence, caused most of the other gov

of the triangular Cape of Good Hope stamps
in 1853. The shape was so odd and the de-
sign so beautiful, that Judging by present
priceS) it would seem as II almost every
copy used was saved. No one who collected
stamps as curosities was satisfied until ne
had one or more OF these handsome postal
labels.
AS time went on, boys and girls became
interested in stamps, and a rivalry began
as to who could make up a collection of the
greatest number of varieties. Many of the
boys could get large number of the stamps
of one or more foreign countries, and by
trading these with one another could in
crease their collections materially. The
usual basis for such trading was stamp for
stamp, and thus many rare stamps went
into the hands of children who had no idea
as to their future value. Unfortunately In
those early days of philately the custom was
to paste down the stamp on pages OF old
blank books. and very few stamps remained
whole after one or two removals.

went around among the acquaintance UNI
til he found twenty-five who were willing TO
pay him $40 month each for the use of
a horse just what they would pay for the
board of one if they owned it. But they
did not want livery horses. So he agreed to
give each patron the same horse always.

livery plant, as he called it, He had to hire
only one extra hand and he had room in
plenty; so the additional expense, beyond
feed was not much. He had been running
his plant year when / saw him, and he
told me that the entire expense was 500
a month and that he took in $3.50 cash every
month. leaving him net profit on his $500
investment of 81 200 a year. And every
member of the horse club was so pleased
that he was booked for another year, and
there were a dozen applicants for member

some of his good customers into the club,

Thirty-Three Men Injured.

CASTLE ROCK, Cal. Dec. 19.-At 7:3O
o'clock tonight wreck occurred at a
point two miles north of Castle Rock on
the Rio Grande road. in which thirty three
men were injured and one or two fatally.
The wreck was the result of a collision be-
tween a south-bound passenger train and a
runaway chair car which started from
Castle Rock, having broken the connection
with the rest of the train. The car was
not part of the passenger train, but con-
tanned about fifty of the men who had been
employed in this vicinity lately laying rails
on the Rio Grande. In it's two-mile dash it
acquired great Roadway, and when it col
lided with the engine of the south bound
freight the engine forced itself half way
through the car, smashing the frame of the
car and the seats. Only a few are seriously
injured. Physicians are attending the in
jured men, who have been taken to Salida.
The fireman and engineer of the colliding
engine escaped injury by jumping. The men
of the runaway car did not try to set the
brakes on their car because they did not
know it was running away. They thought
their train was being drawn by their engine.
Most of the injuries are flesh wounds and
bruises

TRAVELLING LIBRARIES.
Experiments Show Them to BE of Real
Benefit.

The free library commission of Wisconsin
appears to be justifying the increased ex
pendture for the extension of it's work

ture 1t is promoting in a practical and
comparatively inexpensive way the eStaD
lshment and wider circulation of the free
travelling libraries. wisely designed to place
wholesome literature within the reach or
the people in small communities and rural
districts where the advantages of ordinary
public Libraries cannot be hoped for.
A library meeting at Grand Rapids last
week the first ever held in Wood county,
furnishes gratifying evidence of the grow
ing interest in this educational enterprise
conducted along cOmmOn-Sense lines. A lit
tie more than year ago fifteen travelling
libraries were purchased by a public-spir-
A little later twelve more were added to
meet the increasing demand for books.
Each library contained thirty volumes
for children. The number was increased to
forty books in each library, all of the edi
last week all of the librarians reported
need of more books for children, and 1t de-
veloped that in many of the families the
young people. who are eager patrons of the
scheme, were the only ones able to read the
works in English.
Here is an aggregate of over one thou
sand carefully selected books kept con-
SANITY in circulation and found inadequate
to supply the demand for good literature
in a single county having a population of
about twenty thousand people, the greater
number of whom are widely scattered over
the county. The good results of such work
are beyond estimation. With the libraries
made up with careful exercise of the ripe
judgment of experienced librarians, the
benefits to be derived from them by the
young people who have access to no other
Libraries or standard literature may be cal
culated as next best to special course of
study at some approved school.

Strike of POttcrs Likely.

TRENTON, N. j.. Dec. 19.-The manufac-
turing potters and their employees are still
at odds over the matter of a scale of wages
to go into effect on Christmas, the time when
the manufacturers promised they would
restore the 1919 per cent. cut made en- the
wages of the men at the time of the passage
of the Wilson tariff bill. The men do not
want uniform 1919 per cent. raise of the
wages they are now getting, but want modi-
ficatiOns made to meet the changes that
have been made in the matter of designs
of certain lines of goods and the changes
in the demand for different goods Several
conferences have been held without result
and the men are threatening that unless a
satisfactory scale is agreed to by the manu-
facturers by Friday night they will go on
a strike. The manufacturers will hold d
conference on Tuesday morning at the
Colonnade Hotel. Philadelphia, for the pur-
pose of considering the matter.
