Burying the Inn Sign.

Whenever an inn in the vicinity of
Naworth estate loses its license there
is an interesting obsequy. The inn
sign is committed to the grave, in the
presence Of the old customers of the
inn As a rule, it is watercd with
tears in the shape of a bottle of whis-
ky, accompanied by an appropriate
burial service. The Moorcock inn,
Lanercost, was the last to be mourned.
The Brampton justices took away its
license, and the decision was upheld
by quarter sessions. The usual last
rites were performed.

The Beef Trust Has Hit the People.

1t is reported from Chicago that
the sales Of dressed beef have fallen
of 33's per cent.
Part OF the reduction is due to the
inability of the poor to buy beef u I
present prices, and part to popular
resentment over exorbtant prices.
HUT whether due 10 economy or re-
sentiment the reduction is proof of the
widespread effect of the oppressive
prices Of the trust. 1t shows that the
trust has struck the people.
The existence of the trust has been
clearly proven. 1t controls the meat
market from the cattle on the hooi
to the cut on the retail butchers
block. All buyers outside OF the
trust are shut out from the cattle
market; all shippers outside OF the
trust are shut off from the railroads
by discriminating rates; all retailers
must sell only trust meats; the prices
are fixed daily.

Right Reverend Benjamin Kelley,
Bishop of the Catholic diocese OF

his address Bishop Kelley, who was
a confederate soldier, said:

between Benedict Arnold on the one
hand and Aaron Burr and Jefferson
Davis on the other is the difference
between a politician who sells his
vote for money and one who sup
ports a bad measure to get high

there was no necessity, and no one

THE NEW RICE FARMING IN THE SOUTH

An article in the August number of the Review Of
Reviews tells the story the rice belt of Texas ana
louisiana and wonderful story is. In all the his.
tory Of agriculture, progress is notable than
that of the rice farmers who have turned the prairie
into profitable farms and in eighteen years have re-
claimed 100000 acres for rice culture and are adding
1000 acres yearly.
The article referred to is by Day Allen Wiley and
is entitled The New Rice Farming in the South" Mr..
Wiley states that while the rice farmers ct present
produce but twothrds of the rice used in the United
States they have already entered the European mar
lIet and hope to place the American rice belt in as
dominant position the corn wheat and cotton
belts AS the South regulates the price of cotton in
the worlds market" Mr., Wiley says, the day will
come when shall dictate the rice market as we'll is
the universal sentiment The Japanese he points ont
content to till his plat at onesxth OF the wages paid
the aborer in Texas and Louisiana, but one American
with his irrigation system and machinery can cult,
vate hundred acres in year where his Eastern com.
pettor depending upon natural flooding and hand
tools. can work but three-fourths of an acre.
The article begins with picture of n Harvest
Scene Texas Rice Farm, and is filled with illus.
tratons of rice farm scenes, canals and machinery.
1t is entertainngly written and full of interest and in.
formation.
