there should be no difference as to treatment
between citizens Of a country and aliens
while the delegates OF the United State,
sat idly looking on and taking no part
whatever In the discussion. The thing
was finally passed In a much amended
shape.
The real results Of tho work OF the con.
ference, outside of arbitration, are 10 be
found In matters which attracted no at
tention at the time they were under dis.
c~ussion. but which offer the greatest hope
Of practical accomplishment. All these
things were aimed directly at the better
ment Of International commercial facilities.
The most important OF them was the
result OF the recommendations of the Com
mlttees on Commerce and Reciprocity
and on Water Transportation. These COM
mlttees united in recommending that there
be held In New York within a year a special
congress of tariff experts. which shall
deal with the problem Of simplifying tho
administration OF the customs laws in the
various nations.
1t Is, OF course. not intended that this
congress shall have anything to say or to
do with the question of rates and schedules;
1t is TO deal merely with the administration
of the customs laws. II will try to strike out
a general scheme whereby all the republics
Of the new world may collect their GUS
tom simposts In the same amer Their
simplifcation and uniformity Of customs
formalities, II II can be attained, will be OF
tremendous advantage to commercial in
terests everywhere.
And while this special con gress is trying
TO reach a solution OF this problem Il will
also endeavor 20 devise a means whereby
all the charges now collected from ships
under nineteen different heads may be
gathered into one, 10 be levied On the gross
tonnage, so that shippers may get through
with all the formalities incident TO their call
at any port in one visit to the proper OH
cials without having to go through the long
and complicated routine that now obtains.
The conference also gave n big boost
to the plan launched at the first conference
for the publication of n great dictionary
Of commercial nomenclature The scheme
is one that offers great advantages to firms
engaged in international trade.
1t is TO cause to be prepared and printed
by the Bureau of American Republics at
the common expense Of all the republics.
a dictionary which shall give In English,
French, Spanish and Portuguese the name
Of every article Of manufacture or trade
handled in the nineteen republics. The
colloquial and local names will also be-
given, and with IL will be a compendium
of the customs laws Of tho different
tries.
This will enable any manufacturer OF
even the smallest articles in the most mac
cessible place 10 find out b the name Of

CLEVER Girls or JACKSON, VIZ.
They Have solved the Problem OF Making
Money on a Rocky HiIi Farm.

JACKSON, Me, Feb. 2I.-The town Of
jackson is said TO raise more pretty girls
than any other place Of its size in Maine 4
good number Of them hav" gone 10 New
York and Chicago and married milliouairrs.
and such a. have stayed al home are now
actively engaged in solving the problem
a. 20 how a single woman can support her
self and make money on a rocky hillside
farm.
To judge from Tesults the women seem to
have hit upon the winning combination
The nest egg of the idea was got from
reading an advertisement in which n seed
grower offered n cash prize Of 500 20 any
person who could produce two kernels Of his
popcorn which should be marked exactly
alike
The girls Of Jackson, having studied per-
mutation in the back part of the school
arithmetic. and knowing that there could
not be more than a given number Of com-
binations made with any set Of figures, re-
solved TO grow enough popcorn TO get
outside the limit and thus carry of the
prize They purchased great quantities Of
seed corn, greatly TO the delight of the seeds
man, they planted wide area 70 the crop
and they grew binfuls Of ripe ears: and
though they did not fnd two kernels Of
identical markings, they did solve the
problem of making an unmarried woman
s~elf-supporting without compelling her to
go out TO work.
After one years trial the girls discovered
that IN order to win the prize, according 10
the rules Of Formulation, they would be
obliged 10 90 into the business on a large
scale, and a. corn was a summer crop, they
were naturally led to seek some employ
mcnt i'm the winter This drove them 10
raising toultry a. a side issue. and before
they knew 1t they were making money
with corn and hens.
The system of culture as pursued in
jackson consists q dividing their farm
into three equal parts, one for a hen yard.
one for corn and one for clover, shifting the
crop from ono area To the other every year.
The woman who has a nlne-aCre farm puts
her hen ward Of last year into corn this
season. and shifts her hen yard TO last
years clover patch. /
She relies upon the hon-dressing left
In the old ward to furnish fertilizer for
her corn, and when the corn crop II 80 high

As the rate Of popcorn harvest lie about
5000 pounds TO the acre, and as one pound
OF popcorn will pay for five pounds Of ordi-
nary Western corn, such as is fed 20 hens,
the girls not only make their popcorn paw
for all their hen food but declare an annua
dividend Of about 800 per cent
Some years they make money on their
hens, too, but As the aim of raising poultry
Is to furnish dressing for the land. and
as the corn j. the money making crop, they
do not care 30 much for the poultry end

claring that such an institution should be
established.
There were those in attendance at the
conference who were practical enough to
suggest tina whenever the New York bank
ers really cared TO undertake such business
they would go about 1t of their own motion
but many of tho delegates seemed TO be-
licve that the passage of the resolution
would do good il only by attracting the
attention OF men who would have gone
into the business long ago if it had been
brought to their notice.
Projects Of treaties were adopted by the
conference looking toward the securing Of
uniform patent laws, general reciprocity
in the acceptance of professional degrees
from institutions OF learning, a common
system Of copyright and general ~recogni-
ton Of il, the exchange of official publica-
ions among all the republics, each to send
to every other five copies of all public
documents. and the establishment of n
uniform system Of national sanitation.
Most OF these things are without great
practical possibility.
A resolution which should result in great
good generally was that providing for
the reorganization Of the Bureau OF Ameri-
can Republics. 1t is now put on a sound
business basis and SO ordered that II should
be of great service 10 any one interested
commercially in the different nations
Each OF the countries represented at
the conference viii hereafter send to the
bureau two copies of all its official publi-
cations. The bureau will be responsible
for the tabulation and compilation Of all
sorts Of statistical information about each
country.
1t will, in fact, become a great i~nterna-
tional executive office for the dissemina-
ton Of information about the American
republics. II will be required TO furnish
any information il may have upon applica-
ton, and il should prove of great assistance
generally to commercial men.
The conference declared itself in favor
of the holding OF another conference in
five years, and left the initiative Of that
conference to the Executive Board of the
Bureau OF American Republics. II pro-
vided for the creation of an international
Archaeological Commission TO study and
preserve the archaeological remains found
In the different countries.
II provided also for a special congress
of coffee experts 20 consider what can be
done TO foster that business. II declared
also it's satisfaction that the United States
was about to undertake the construction
Of an interoccanic canal.
In brief and general outline these are the ac-
complishments Of the conference. It mus,
be said that among the advantages TO he
derived from the conference is that OF the
general reiteration OF certain broad princi-
pies which on the whole make for peace
and the betterment Of relations among

QJ4yL kILLED By STORM.
Fears NJ Lab ewood That the n irds There
Have Been Exterminated.

LAKEWOOD. Y. j, Feb. 2l.--The most
serious effect Of the recent snowstorm.
SO far as Lakewood is concerned, affects
the sportsmen Of the place, a few Of whom
have for some years been trying to stock
the coverts near here with quail. The
blizzard Of 1855 was fatal TO quail, and
each year since young quail have been
bought with much difficulty, but released
by the hundred 70 look out for themselves
last seasons stock was brought here from
Oklahoma. and the promoters OF good
shooting ave run into all sorts Of difficulty
with the game laws Of various States. But
they have p~ersevered, and at private
expense ave sent young quail into the
woods.
Under all ordinary winter conditions
the birds do well here, and for the first
time since they began stocking woods, there
was good quail shooting about Lakewood.
And now the birds are thought TO be prsc-
tically extcrminated, either by cold, starva-
ton, or hawks. Men have beeS sent out
all this week, n visit the most protected
and ~best-known c%overts. scrape swav
the snow and scatter corn, wheat and other
grains, in the hope Of saving some, but
there is certain to be a shortage Of quail
about these parts another season.
Sportsmeu say hat IT takes about
three years for birds To mature. bu' that
the Jersey quail grows 10 large size. and il
far superior 20 the southern variety. They
propose 20 restock, putting out a. large
a number Of Young birds n possible, and
sportsmen who are Interested and who
care 10 assist IN the purchase 81 birds should

done thus far DIR Paul II kimball. Fred

Now that the Pan-American Conference
shich was In session at the City Of Mexico
Tor nearly four months has ended its de-
hberations, 1t Is possible to arrive at an
sxact understanding of what It has been
hble to accomplish.
IL Is no violation OF confidence 70 say
hat most OF the delegates themselves
thought the conference was a matter Of
great importance, and destined to accom-
plish a great work for the benefit of the
nineteen American republics represented
shere, 1t Is also no violation Of confidence
70 say that 80 far as the people of the United
etates seem 70 have been concerned, il
battered very little whether the conference
accomplished a great work or nothing at
Ill However, now that IL is over. II can be
'een that some things were done which
pner TO us advantages which are worthy
" consideration.
This conference differed Ia one striking
particular from It's predecessor held In
Washington eleven years ago. The dele
gates to the Washington conference seemed
10 think themselves authorized TO settle
sut OF hand most OF the difficult and the
,retica problems Of general public policy
shich came up there for discussion,
They adopted some projects, none Of
which ever received the ratification Of
'nough Governments TO put them into
lnect, and practically the conference ac-
homplished nothing. The declaration Of
he conference In favor Of obligatory arbi-
ration OF all questions failed 10 receive
he ratification Of a single Government.
The Mexico conference, on the other hand.
rent at its work in a different spirit. IT had
lefore 1t constantly the prospect Of secur-
hg ratification OF its resolutions and sew
'ral projects went by the board because
MITIGATION did not seem probable.
In the opinion Of all the delegates the
hbject OF arbitration was the most i'm
brtant that could come before the confer
moe. For this reason the committee which
vas appointed 20 deal with il was made
~ Of one member from each delegation.
y was the only committee appointed by
ho conference, all the others being named
BY the Chair.
