people are the largest coffee
consumers of any of the
great nations, says the Phil
adelphid Bulletin, is again brought out
by the proceedings of the International
Coffee Commission. which is now hold
ing its sessions at New York The OBJ
jcct of this body, whose assemblage
was provided for by the Pan American
congress held in the city of Mexico last
year. is To deal with the question of
profits from the standpoint of the cof-
fee grower. At present this industry,
which has attained its greatest prom-
nence in Brazil and Mexico, is suffering
from overprOduCtior. More coffee is
apparently produced than the world de-
mands, and as result prices have fall
en- materially in the last few years-a
condition which is not likely to be re-
garded unfavorably by the great mass
of consumers. however much it may be
deplored by the owners of the planta-
lions.
Just what the commission. in which
most of the countries of Latin America
are represented, expects to accomplish
by its deliberations is not very plain.
This country is now importing about
100000, 900 pounds of coffee annually, for
which. it pays over $50, 100000. Ger
many comes next, with a consumption
less than one-half of our own, and
France is third in the list, while Eng
land, despite the vogue which the Lon
don coffee houses secured in fashion,
able circles IL couple of centuries or so
ago, uses less than One-twentieth as
much as the United States. according to
the latest available statistics.
If the coffee commissioners expect to
enlarge the market for the brown bev-
erage they should turn their attention
to Europe, rather than to this republic.
A nation whose citizens consume per
capita average of ten pounds OF this
staple each year is doing about all that
could reasonably be expected of it in
this direction.

Ginseng" Secretary of Agri-
culture Wilson is endeavorng to COR
rect the erroneous impression that has
been created in reference to profits in
the cultivation of ginseng by Ameri-
can farmers.
This note consists of warning to the
public against the "boom' In ginseng
culture, which is being promoted by the
eStravagant statements of sensational
Journals ana also by the fraudulent rep
reecnatlons of Interested persons. In
1898 Professor Frederick V. Colville,
under whose direction the ginseng bull
letins" were prepared, said: "The de-
nand for ginseng in China is steady,
and 1t Is believed that our exports may
be largely increased without overstock-
ing the markets." but in 1902 the same
authority says ct must not be for
gotten that the value of our export has
in no year reached $l.OO0,O0O having
been $S33.Tl0 in 1900. and IL oven min
GRITTY Of those who have gone into GIN
seny culture are successful the enor-
nous increase in production will almost
inevitably result in a serious reduction
of the market price of the dried root
1t is estimated that 11S,OOo pounds. the
approximate average of the last five
years expectation, may be grown on
from fifty to scventy-five acres of land.
1t is clear, therefore, that the present
market and present prices for dried
ROOFS do not warrant the establishment
of very many large ginseng farms
The timely action of the secretary of
agriculture in heading off the schemes
of growers of ginseng roots who have
been flooding the magazines with allur
ing advertisements concerning the
profits that may be insured from the
cultivation of the plants. is commend
able. 1t will undoubtedly save many
from becoming victims of the root
growers and again impress upon the
MIND of the reader of sensational i.d-
rertising pamphlets that the man who
knows how to make millions does not
generally advertise the scheme for the
benefit of others. but grasps the oppor-
tunty for his own profit in silence.
Backed by the report from the bureau
of agriculture, the ginseng bubble was
one of the most alluring that has been
blown before the American farmer in
many years, 1t is fortunate that light
the game.

LODGE ROOM AND AUDITORIUM
A Plan Proposed for the Consider

A Plan Proposed for the Consider
alton of All Interested.
The REGISTER ventures that there
is not a person in Brookings who does
not regret the absence OF respectable
auditorium in this city. This cannot
long continue without adverse refiec-
tion upon the citizens. A place for
holding public gatherings is as essen
tial as almost any other public
improvement and it is high time some
step was taken 10 provide such con-
venience.
All sorts OF schemes have been
talked Of by many OF cur enterprising
citizens but so far nothing has been
done, The REGISTER offers the fol-
lowing as a suggestion for the consid.
Grafton OF those who may become
interested in such a project: We have
within our city several fraternal
organizations which are at present
renting lodge rooms and while the
rooms may be fairly com Portable they
have no special arrangement for the
use to which they are put. Would it
not be good plan. and feasible, for
these lodge organizations to unite
their forces and construct a suita BILE
building especially arranged to suit
their purposes, Say have the build
tvun atn Ia,
The first floor to be arranged as an
auditorium and opera house: the
second floor fitted up for lodge room
with lockers for the different lodges.
Form stock company and interest
some of our capitalists in the enter
prise. The further details we leave
to be wrought out and merely throw
this out for the consideration Of the
public.
ANOTHER PLAN,
Inc city owns tract of land on
which 10 located the old city hall. II
law is passed this winter which will
enable the city to get hold OF some OF
the school money at reasonable rate
OF interest, why not have the city put
up such a building and include city
offices, vault and prisoners room
with cage?
Last spring IT was talked Of build
ing an auditorium near the new power
house. If the lodges could be inter
ested and the city was inclined to
assist this plan might yet be worked
OUT Now Is a good time to talk the
matter over and the REGISTER would
be pleased to publish the views Of any
who think they have plan which will
meet the approval Of those interested
and which can be developed. But for
goodness sake lets do something

his ear nearly severed and the fore

was taken to him on hand car, and
him up as we'll as possible.
he was kept at the junction over night
ana on Saturday morning was sent to
