The FARMERS.
TO be Urged to Form and Agree
to a Trust in Order to
Restrict the Production Of wheat at
Least 20 Per Cent.

Minneapolis, MINI, April a.
All the farmers of the world in g
sort OF international trust TO re.
strict the production of wheat and
raise prices is the plan which is
hoped to carry into effect at the
international agricultural confer
ence in Paris, July GIG. 1t is
proposed to ask the farmers Of the
world to reduce their wheat out
put by 20 per cent. and not to sell
a bushel for less than dollar.
j. @. Hanley, of st. Paul, MINI,
executive agent of the Farmers
Alliance and Industrial Union, the
National Cotton Growers Associa-
ton, the Farmers Federation of
the Mississippi Valley and Ma
tional Grain Growers Association,
is the chief promoter of the Inter
national Agricultural Trust in
America.
Prof. G. Rutland, of the Uni
versity of Fribourg, Switzerland,
is the chief promoter of the plan
in Europe.
While 20 per cent. reduction in
acreage is desired, Mr.. Hanley
points out that if only 5 per cent.
can be secured the worlds wheat
crop will be reduced about l25, OOO,-
600 bushels, which is, he says,
enough to bring the price at Liver
pool up to 81. To help out the
effect of a restricted production /
the farmers are to hold their wheat
for ninety days and are to market
it at not less than dollar a bushel. !

When A Motion Will Be Made
To Dismiss For A Lack
Of Jurisdiction.
THE FACTS AS AGREED UPON.
Each Side Will Have Four Hours ID
Present It's Argsmsat.

Washington, April 16.-Louis
McQuown and Helm Bruce, res
pectively attorneys for the Demo
cratic and Republican contestants
of the job of governing the State
of Kentucky, are in the city to
present their claims before the
Supreme Court.
The case was today docketed,
and motion was made to have it
advanced on the calendar so as the
court can take action Immediately.
The case was set for April 30,
and four hours given on each
office. sM
Mr. Bruce called up the case
and asked for six hours on each
side for argument and April 30 as
the day of hearing. He thought
when the motionto dismiss was
made and argued the attorneys for
both sides should be permitted 20
make very full statements.
Mr.. Bruce was apparently about
TO make an extended explanation,
when he was Interrupted BY Chisf
Justice Fuller, who said that the
case was set for April 30, and that
eight hours flour on each side) |
would be given up for, arguments.
The attorneys understood before
hand that the date asked for would
be agreeable to the court. They
were not surprised when they did
not get the six hours asked for on
each side for argument. They
knew that it was an especially
long time for set speeches,
The small Supreme Court room
was crowded at the time to hear
the proceedings in the famous
case. After the court had fixed /
the date the courtroom was quick I
ly emptied.
A brief statement, in which s
counsel for both Taylor and Beck I
nam joined, was fled at the time Y
IF docketing. In this agreed y
statement, as reasons for. an early n
hearing, it is set forth that both s
Taylor and John Marshall, on the n
Republican side, and Beckham @
md L. II. Carter, president pro-
EN-. of the Senate, and John b.
'astleman, as Adjutant General,
IN the Democratic side, are each

Dolls are as ancient as the human
race. None can dispute the assertion
that Eve had a doll before she had
Cain. The dolls OF the Greek and Ro-
man children were buried with them.
The native children In the heart OF
Africa and the greasy Eskimo baby In
the north OF Greenland have dolls OF
which they are just as proud as our
children are OF theirs. Most Of the
dolls for civilized children come from
Coburg and sonneburg, towns Of
Thurngla. Just now England Is be-
Ing stocked with dolls dressed In
khaki, representing BObs, Kitchener,
Baden Powell and Rhodes. They are
turned out by the million, at prices
ranging from nineteen cents to Sl1
dozen.
The doll Is a simple toy, but the work
needed for its completion Is compli-
Gated. Take a wax doll. It's trunk is
made Of cheap shifting, stuffed with
sawdust or excelsior; its legs, arms
and hands are made of wood or papier-
mache, the head having a thin wax COW
ering; a coarse shirt completes It. Ger
tain workmen cut the arms and legs
out Of wood or mold them Of papier-
mache; others arrange the limbs in fiat
wooden boxes, which are put In the
sun or near a stove to dry; others dip
the arms and legs in a basin Of red
dye to give them a fesh-like appear
ance; others sew, cover and stuff the
doll; others paint the eyebrows, lips
and hair, unless mOhar is glued on.
The making Of glass eyes and fine doll
wigs is an art in itself, and the dress
ing Of dolls Is an extensive industry.
All the parts are put together by a
small manufacturer to whom the work
men engaged in making them carry
the product Of their weekly toil.-New

Wealth Is an Essential

Belgrave and Eaton squares are in
the southern portion Of the west end
of London, and both are very hand
some and extensive. The value of prop
erty there, as in the districts just men
toned, is literally prodlglous. Only the
richest people can afford to dwell in
these quarters and only the richest peo-
pie do. Many persons Of title and long
descent, who have not money enough
to occupy their ancestral homes, rent
them to tenants with fatter purses than
their own. Thus decade by decade
London society is losing its old repute
for exclusiveness, and the claims Of
money are superseding those Of birth.
Many Of the oldest English families,
indeed, have now retired altogether
from active participation in social Af-
fairs. Parvenus and upstairs holnob

intermarry with them as well.
