not pay to make olive oil in this State

cotton seed OIL which is so much
cheaper than the olive oil can be manu-
factured. When a law is passed conf
pelling the manufacturers of cotton seed
oil to label it as such, as was done IN
the case of oleomargarine, there will be
profit in the manufacture of pure olive
oil At present there is more profit in
picking the olives. He explained how
to prune in order to get large olives.
f. F. French read an excellent paper
on Destructive Insects portraying
the fiSht he had had with them.

barbaric irascibility of olden times We

The selfish motives of tobacco fac
tors and sugar gamblers in pointing out
to a great, fair-minded country a
chance to filch from Spain, because she
is weak, that which is hers as truly as
New England is ours, has moved us
only to condemn and not to approve.
We refuse to add to our racial prob
lens at the nod of self-seeking men.
The heart of the nation is unresponsive
to such temptation. and, furthermore,
even the terrible Maine disaster, with
it's sorrow and its loss, has grandly
shown to the world that we are slow
to anger and plenteous in conservatism.
Despite all guesses to the contrary our
people have refused to believe that the
Spanish Government could be suicidal
enough to have direct connection with
the disaster We believe that she would
foresee more damage to herself than
to us in this sudden and horrible event.
If this We're all that had happened an
indemnity would be sufficient and a
war be quite contrary to International
