The average farmer who recognizes the
great possibilities of beet sugar production
In this country which sends hundred mil
lions year abroad for sugar, will not relish
the action of the democratic party in the
Senate with reference to the proposed boun-
ty of quarter of cent pound on beet
sugar. The republican Senators offered an
amendment to the tariff bill proposing to
pay quarter of cent a pound bounty on
American beet sugar produced during the
five years following the enactment of the
law, and would have promptly have passed
1t but for the threat of Chairman Jones of
the democratic national committee and his
colleagues in the Senate that the proposition
would be bitterly fought and action upon
the tariff bill indefinitely delayed on account
of this proposition.

Auditor General Dix.

The report from Lansing that the treas
urers of the various counties of the state are
fast responding to the appeals of Auditor
General Dix for money due the state, is
creditable to the county treasurers, but not
to them alone. 1t is fast becoming evident
to those familiar with Michigan's financial
affairs that In Auditor General Dix the state
has one of the most competent and oonsci-
entious officials any people we're ever favor
ed with. When he assumed charge of the
affairs of his Office the first of last January,
on the surface of things it seemed necessary
for the state to borrow money almost imme-
diately; but Auditor General Dix said No
The county treasurers of the state have al
ready collected money from the taxpayers
which belongs to the state. To be sure we
can't compel them to pay 1t over to the state
treasurer for some time yet, but we'll try
coaxing and he did. He at once started in
to do his part in managing the finances of
the state as any successful man would his
private business. He wanted to avoid borrow
ng money, if possible. And all along the
line Auditor General Dix is discharging the
duties of his Office in the same satisfactory
manner. He is proving to be very com.

suspense with reference to the tariff bill
for months. They therefore determined to
withdraw their sugar bounty amendment
and offer 1t as separate measure In the
hope of getting a vote upon 1t at next SEES
sion.
WHY THE ANTI.TRusr AMENDMENT WAS
ABANDONED.
The anti trust amendment was abandoned
for similar reasons, The republicans
would have gladly inserted an amendment
of this character in the bill, but 1t became
so apparent that 1t would be made the
vehicle for lengthy discussion and further
delay of the bill that it was found necessary
to make the antitrust proposition an indie
pendent measure rather than delay the
tariff for its discussion.

notable engagements in the war, one

Philadelphia, February 3, 1913. Nearly
all of the great naval heroes of the
United States have served at one time

that the city of Boston will pay fitting
honors to her past achievements in a
grand celebration on the 10Th of the
coming October. For a number of
years past she has been in the navy

The scientific editor of the Silver Ad-

follows upon subject which will be
very near to all of us who go out in the
sage brush during the next few weeks ::

They sometimes feed on dogs but pre-
fer boys and printers. They are with
out wings, but can jump 300 feet, and
when they get beneath your pajams,
the damage they do is not so much in
what they eat as in what they tramp
down. A wood tick is not So large as a
bull dog, but he is more to he dreaded
than book SCENT or a Spanish mule.
Some people, when they find AN exodus

the correct way to do, as it leaves the
mandibles still in your company, and a
sore that will not quit itching for nine
years. The only proper thing to DO
when you find wood tick screwed

take gold headed needle, run it into
the tick at the point that offers the
least resistance, until it penetrates the

then hold a lighted lucifer match to the
protruding part of the needle; this car

his corkscrew and also to go out of

Old Ironsides.

"Old Ironsides" is to be fitted for q
sea voyage aud it is very likely that the
famous battleship will be in Boston
harbor next fall on the occasion of the
hundredth anniversary of her launch
Secretary of the Navy Long has issued
the proper orders in accordance with
the provisions of Representative Fitz-
gerald's bill, and the work of putting
the Constitution in ship-shape trim
will commence at once. The centenary
birthday of this noble vessel will he a
notable event in the eyes of every pa
triotic citizen. Her history is familiar
to every school boy in the land and the
simple announcement of the fact that
she is once more to be tioated upon the
seas, will create a thrill of patriotism
throughout the country AMI arouse
anew the interest in the story of her
victorious career
The Constitution, together with the
Constellation and the United States,
was ordered to be built by Congress in
1874. The three frigates cost $4,000
each. The first was built at Boston,
the second at Baltimore and the third
at Philadelphia. The three were built
on new plan, with caronades on
flush spar deck and thirty long d
Founders on the main deck, the usual
metal then being an 1S-pounder. The
plans we're made by Joshua Humphreys,
and the building was in charge of
George Claghorn. The Constitution
was launched on October 10, 1897. The
first and second attempts were not sue
cessful, but the third time she slid off
the ways and then Uncle Sans naval
history was begun. As figureheal
the frigate had a Hercules, bearing Il
club, but during the second term of
President Jackson this was taken down
and head of the hero OF New Orleans |
put up instead.
Captain Isaac Hull of Connecticut, |
was the commander of the Constitu
ton during her most noteworthy en- |
gagements, but it was the ambition of |
every young naval officer in the service,
previous to the last war, to tread her
decks. 1t was Captain Hull who won |
the famous victory in her first encoun-
ter with a British man of-war in the .
war of 1872 and that engagement gave
the young Republic feeling of power
and pride in her own strength that
placed her among the foremost nations
of the globe. Captain Hull was only
twenty five when he was made first lieu
tenant of the Constitution in 1900 In
1872 he was put in command of the
ship and in July of that year occurred
the remarkable escapade in which he
successfully eluded an entire squadron,
of British ships. On August 10 Of the
same year, the first battle of the secoud
war with England occurred and the
story of that engagement will en-
dure while there is a Uuicn Jack III ex-
istence. The Guerrero was a larger ,
ship than the Constitution, but the
fight lasted only thirty minutes. The
British lost seventy men, whereas
the Americans lost but fourteen. When
Captain Hull brought his ship into
Boston harbor the whole nation united !
