We do not want Prof. Tanner,
of the Agricultural College, to
forget that we want a branch OF
the experiment station 'here as
soon as we can get it so expert
ments may be made in growing
beets so that bulletins may be
published which would benefit the
farmers. This is the most i'm
portant agricultural product in
the state and should receive this
much recognition from the
college.

During the past sugar campaign
the farmers of Lehi have received
nearly $40, 900 for their beets
This has gone into the channels
Of trade and has had a most salu-
tary effect upon the business in
this part. This is much better
than sending the money away
from home. The sooner our
government recognizes this fact
and endeavors to stop the steady
out flow of money to foreign
countries for sugar and encourages
the manufacture of the same at
home the sooner will prosperity
make its appearance.

Legislative work in the right di-

Merit
Hoods Sarsaparilla. " I'd 3 ~ SsS

Merit In medicine means the power 10
cure. Hoods Sarsaparilla possesses actual
and unequalled curative power and there
fore 1t has true merit. When you buy
Hoods Sarsaparila, and take it according
to directions, TO purify your blood, or
cure any of the many blood diseases, you
are morally certain to receive benefit.
The power to cure is there. You are not
trying an experiment. 1t will make your
blood pure, rich and nourishing, and thus
drive out the germs OF disease, strengthen
the nerves and build mp the whole system.

The Governors message has
been submitted TO the legislature
and has been read by many
people in this state. 1t shows a
familiarity with the public service
which is gratifying. He reviews
the financial condition of the state
which makes so favorable show
ing that he suggests a reduction
in the taxes. He advises that the
state be placed upon a cash basis.
The public school question is ably
discussed and it is a matter that
needs the attention of our legis-
lators. An appropriation is re-
commended for the semi centen-
NAL celebration to be held next
July. Altogether the document
is an able one.

THE STEAM ENGINE.
To Spain Belongs the Honor of Its
Introduction.

From Lloyd's Weekly Newspaper.
Various countries claim the credit of
having made the earliest practical apph-
cation of steam power, but, judging by
facts gathered from the most authentic
sources, it was in Spain that the move
ment of machinery by steam was first
brought under public notice. At BARGE
Iona in the year 1913 a mechanic named
Blasco de Garay, after many persistent
efforts, succeeded in impressing the EN-
peror Charles V. of Austria and / of Spain
with the value of his new invention for
driving ships by steam. The trial which
took place was considered a success by
the public, but the chief of the royal
commission-Ravago, the treasure keeper
of the kingdom-for certain sinister rea-
sons, persuaded the emperor that the
discovery was of no practical value and
ruined the hopes of Blasco de Garay.
Later on, about the beginning of the
seventeenth century, Giovanni Branca, an
Italian, invented a steam engine, and his
machine is the first of which we have
any descriptive or pictorial record. a bout
tbs same period, too, France produced a
claimant for the glory of having invented
the steam engine, and Marion Delorme in
a letter to NJ. de Cinq Mars. dated April,
1911, gives an account of him in a visit
cester: I'VE were crossing the court of
the madhouse, and l, more dead than
alive with fright, kept close to my COM
panon's side, when a frightful face APP
peared behind some immense bars, and a
hoarse voice exclaimed: I am not mad!
l am not mad! | have mad a discovery
whbch would enrich the country that
adopted it. What has he discovered? l
asked of our guide. Oh he answered,
Struggling his shoulders some thing tri-
fling enough; you would never gNs 1t;
it is the use of the steam of boiling wa
ter i began to laugh. This man, con-
tnued the keeper, rs Solomon de Caus;
he came from Normandy four years ago
to present to the king a statement of the
wonderful efcts that might be produced
from his invention. The cardinal sent the
mailman away without listening to him.
Solomon de Caus, far from being discour-
aged followed the cardinal wherever he
went with the most determined persever-
ance. who. tired to death with his folly,
ordered him 10 be shut up in the Bcetre,
where he has now been for three years
and a half
Lord Worcester was conducted to his
de CAUSE cell, and came back. sad and
thoughtful. He is. indeed, mad now, said
he Misfortune and captivity have alien
ated his reason, but 1t Is you who have
TO answer foT his madness. When you
cast him into that cell you confined the
greatest genius of the age Twenty
two years after the above incident. in
1868. in a work of his called Century of
Inven ions" the Marquis Of Worcester de-
scribed a steam apparatus of his own.
Papin followed with his invention i'm 1881.
Cant. Savery's engine for water raising
was made in 1898, and in l712 Thomas New
comen constructed the first self-acting
steam engine (Which worked successfully
for over a century,. and with it the Age
OF Steam may be said to have been inau-
gurated.

From the ST. Joseph Herald.
There was an attraction in st. Joseph

Those dainty looking, tan-incased feet
battered over the beaten ground with
true masculine vigor, and whenever the
opportunity offered there were always will
ing feet to kick a goal.
That isn't all they did, either. They
had their half backs, quarter-backs, full
backs, and tackles like any well regulated
eleven, and their rush lines were a match
for any team of their size and weight.

CHINESE LAUNDRY PROFITS.
Reported That Chicago Laundry
man Went Back to China Worth
$4,000.

From the Springfield Republican.
To hear the stories of money made in
Chicago laundries, one would think there
is an opportunity for a permanent cut in
their prices. man who knows good
many of the local Chinese says one laun
dryman went back to China a few years
ago with $4,000 in American money, all
earned in the laundry business, but prob
ably largely by the buying and selling of
laundries There are some of the local
Cinnamon who are continually dickering
in laundries One of them, who has re-
Gently bought State street laundry for
81 600 is said TO have carried on negotia-
tons for the purchase of over twenty-five
laundres in Western Massachusetts dur
Ing the last few years. He does not seem
to have much trouble in getting funds
for such purchases, as men who have lent
him money in many instances on thirty
to siXty-day notes say he has always paid
before the paper is due. II is said that
a good Chinese laundryman can clear $50
a week, although he pays from $l4 to $25
a week rent, and sometimes as high as
$40 and hires two or three men at wages
ranging from S. to so week. When their
very economical habits of living are con-
sidered, it is probable that they save
large share OF, their earnings. They seem
generally TO have money to pay their bills.
for local merchants who deal with them
say their accounts are almost always paid
promptly. queer feature of the laundry
business is the extent 10 which the local
laundrles are in the hands of syndicates
or combinations of the laundrymen. A
group of them, related to each other, arc
said TO control half dozen laundries on
South Main and State streets. and there
are other similar combinations in the city.
The members Of these various "synd-
Gates are generally not on good terms
with each other; If they meet in some
store they will not speak, though know
ing each other perfectly wen. The COM
petition between these various groups 10
buy up an avilable laundry is said to be
very sharp, and a local man who has
such an opening to rent is said to have
received twenty-five applications for II.
