Mr. George Gaver, who has just
returned from Burlington. Iowa,
brought with him quite number OF

orchard of MIR. w. S. Anderson, near
Burlington. The first crop of apples
was very fina. The trees bloomed the
second time and the second growth
of apples followed. They are about
two inches in diameter and had it
rained they would have matured and
been of some value.
1t has not rained in hat section for
many months
Second growth apples are unknown
to the orchardists in this section, al
though many trees bloom the second
time during the summer.

Inc ElCtsDuIH Il OSt VuUtibupH ~sw
statement that the United States Steel
corporation has decided to discontinue
the subsidies which some Of it's con-
stituent companies have been paying
to manufacturers Of machinery on con-
dition that they would make no ma
chinery for competing firms. The sub
sidiary companies mentioned az having
pursued this harmful method Of pre-
venting competition are the American
Tin Plate company and the American
Sheet Steel company. Each Of these
companies, it Is explained, at the time
of It's organization entered into agree
ments with the manufacturers of the
machinery 1t used guaranteeing them
more business than they had hitherto
done. provided they would make no ma
chinery for independent concerns.
Such agreements are clearly against
public policy and doubtless would not
have been enforced in the courts had
either party complained, but inasmuch
as both parties thought them advan-
tageous their legality was not brought
into question.
The aggregate amount paid in sub
sides to the machinery manufacturers
is stated to have been somewhere near
S1,500,000" annually, and the amount
was steadily increasing because new
firms went into the business OF making
machinery for the independent tin
plate and sheet steel companies, and
these new firms had to be subsidized in
order to limit their operations. This,
says The Post was the state of affairs
that was found to exist when the Unit
cd States Steel corporation was formed
and took bold of the management of
the individual corporations" Its off,
Gals decided to discontinue the policy
of paying subsidies as soon as present
contracts expire and to permit the ma
chinery manufacturers thereafter to
get business where they can. Unfor-
tunately the contracts have still from
two to three and half years to run,
but thereafter, according to The Post,
the United States Steel corporation ex-
poets to keep its business by superior
methods Of production, without paying
subsidies to exclude small competitors
from the field.
The fact that such subsidies have
been paid Is matter Of common
knowledge. but their extent has not
hitherto been generally known. The
payment of subsidies and granting of
rebates to prevent legitimate competi-
ton constitute one CT the most harm
full of the methods by which combina-
lions have aroused popular hostility,
and legislation which would make con-
tracts to make such payments perllous
to both parties would command well
nigh universal support.

There seems to be no falling OFF Ell
Their in number or novelty of instances
of unbounded faith in the efficacy of
queer treatment of diseases. A man
who claims that he was martyr to the
most agonizing form of chronic dyspep-
sia says he was completely cured by
the practice of taking small quantities
of fine sand into his stomach every
day. Another asserts that by going
about constantly bareheaded he has re-
lieved himself of chronic catarrh of the
worst type, while a third declares that
by eating no solid food for forty days
he has conquered entirely the besetting
rheumatism which had tormented him
for dozen years. These are interest
ing cases. How would it do for some
adventurous experimenter to try all
three systems of treatment on himself
at once-to go bareheaded all the time,
to swallow sand every twenty-four
hours and to fast from other food for
forty days? The autopsy would prob
ably reveal Il constitutional disability
to tell the truth.
