TRUST METHODS.

Trust methods could not possibly
be more clearly illustrated than
they are in brief dispatch from
al enterprising town which is suf-
ficently unfortunate to be located
IN New Jersey. In this town there
are number of bakers. These
bakers decided to form an associa-
ton. Their purpose III organizing
was to force upward the price of
bread But there was one baker
in the town mentioned who re-
fused to become a member and he
continued to distribute his ware at
the usual price to his customers
who had long been supplied by
him.
However the other bakers of the
town had learned a thing or two
while tarrying in Jersey, where the
trust foprishes like whole forest
of green bay trees. And they APP
parently knew all about the clever
habits and devices of amalgamated
capital, for the lone and indepen-
dent baker is now followed about
the streets every day by wagon
whose drivers offer to give away
bread. All the customers of the
lone and independent baker may
have their bread without cost on
the stipulation that they decline
to patronize the man who refused
to enter the local combine.
The Benevolent Bakers Mutual
Benefit Association is not saying
anything, but is looking very wise.
According to the New Jersey code,
this appears to be strictly legiti-
| mate.

More than $4,000, 900 worth o

More than 100000 worth of
new WOODEN goods were sold in one
day in New York recently. The
most notable thing in connection
with the sale however, was not the
amount of money involved but the
transactions were conducted by the
wooden goods trust, which controls
absolutely the output of twenty
seven of the largest WOODEN mills
in the country. Under the plan
of trading which obtained up to a
few years ago, the purchase and
sale of this amount of wooden
goods would have given employ
ment to several hundred men.
Under the trust plan one man does
all of the selling.

THE PRICE OF IMPERIALISM.l

The New York World recently
set out in picturesque and striking
form what is called 1.-The Fruits of
Imperialism From One Days
News, or Benevolent Assimilation
Up to Date" Here is the list:
1. A new and peculiarly fatal
type of plague appeared in Manila.
2. A Manila dispatch reporting
that the number of cases CT in
sanity among American troops
exceeds that in any previous war.
3. Gen. Otis list of casualties
for the day-fve killed and seven
wounded.
4. American flag hoisted on
Sidutu island, and the probability
that foreign complications may
arise from it.
5. Five men about to be gar
roted in Ponce.
6. Seventeen insane soldiers
shipped home from Manila.
This is pretty high rate to pay
for one days Imperialism, and to
it might be added the days inter
est OH the $350,0OO,OOO which this
merciless and unnecessary war has
already cost

THE WHITE MANS BURDEN.

Says the New York World The
latest reports of the famine in
India show that she conditions
are worse than had been previous
ly supposed. The famine area has
expanded until now about 10000, :
600 are affected in British terri
tory and about 81 100000 in the
native states. The scarcity of
cattle, water and food is terrible.
Some $3.50, 900 people are not re-
ceiving relief, and the cost of this
relief up to the end of March will
not De less than $20,000,OOO. The
government of India will have the
sympathy of this country in the
hard problem with which it has
to deal. In our Porto Rico one
fourth of the inhabitants are de-
pendent for existence on public
charity, and We are working hard
to assimilate 100000 Filipinos,
whose chronic condition is but
little better than that of the
famine stricken people of India.

Mr.. Pyle, the soapmaker, who
died III New York the other day,
was another printers ink million
aire. Except for his liberal use of
advertising space, the probabili-
ties are that he would have lived
and died a comparatively poor
man. Horace Greeley, it is said,
first induced him to advertise. Mr..
Pyle had old-fashioned notions
about trade, and did not believe
advertising would do bis business
any good. Finally Mr.. Greeley
said to him: Here is the Trib-
une's rate card. Use whatever
space you please for one year. If
at the end of that time you find
advertising pays you, then pay for
the space you have used. If you
find it does not pay, then pay
nothing" Mr.. Pyle agreed, and
at the end of the year he not only
paid for the space he had con-
sumed, but made a large contract
for the next year. And from that
time was a consistent and persis-
tent advertiser, and paid out hun
dreds Of thousands of dollars per
year to give his wares publicity.

The lodge gate swung open and the ambu-

into the sarre gait 10 back the ambulance
against the curb. The young bare-headed

calling to the orderlies;

The driver didn't loee an instant getting
around TO the rear Of the ambulance TO help,
although that is not one Of his prescribed
duties.
What's the case. doctor'- asked one Of the
reporters.
"Oh. Just a comatose drunk. Had a high
temperature and l Was afraid he'd die on me
In the wagon. No story IN It,"

out Of the ambulance. He began to laugh up

Somewhere about 1915 the first recorded

had been played before by boys of all ages;
but this club, formed doubtless because Of the
growing interest in the sport, Is undoubtedly
