WHERE THE CATTLE GROWER
COMES In.

COMES in.
10 the Worlds suggestion, first made
on April Is, that congress should hit the
beef trust by at once repeating the
duties on cattle and meat, various Ding
leyite newspapers cry: "What! Would
you deprive the American farmer of
protection?"
sConsidering that the American farmer
sold abroad last year animals to the
value Of $52, 100000, beef products worth
$44 ,225,3l9, hog products $12O,OO0,O0O
and other meat products worth $l1 ,OOO,-
600 the talk of his need of protection is
simply very threadbare campaign fake.
The sort of protection" the cattle.
grower gets in the home market from
the beef trust is illustrated in the cur
rent news. The combine fixes arbitrar.
lily the price to be paid for cattle. When
it advances the price of beeves ST hun
dred it puts up the price So or $3
When extortionate prices for meat lead
to check in consumption, the combine
does not reduce the price of meat-it
stops buying cattle, as it has just done.
The protected" farmer is forced to hold
the cattle while they are "eating their
heads of" and to sell them at whatever
price the combine chooses to fix when it
needs them.
And this is protecting the farmer!'

LAKE PLACID.

LAKE PLACID. y. Y, Aug. so
Though August is practically gone and
the summer nearly over. there is yet
no outward sign OF closing season.
Every hotel at Placid is full to the limit
and throughout the month il has been
a problem TO the hotel men how to dis
pose of the guests. But they have all
been taken care OF in some way, and
the fortunate ones who came early and
secured their rooms before the rush
set in wonder how.
One of the important arrivals Of the
week was Mr.. d. r. Hanna and wife. of
Cleveland. 1t is reported that Mr.
Hanna expects his illustrious father
here also. The Hannas brought no less
han an even dozen horses with them
and their tally-ho is frequently seen on
he drives about the mountains.
Last week the Lake Placid Club gave
its annual night carnival on Mirror
Lake. and for two hours there was a
constant stream Of gaily lighted and
decorated floats passing in review.
Some Of the designs were very unique.

ASBURY PARK.

ASBURY PARK. y. j., Aug. 3O.-With
the campmeeting across Wesley Lake
at Ocean Grove always comes the hign
tide of the season at Asbury Park. The
resorts 200 hotels and large boarding
houses are filled with guests.
The early part Of the season was de-
cidedly slow, and. on account of the
cool weather. even early August was a
bit tame, but of the crowd that has
been here for fortnight no boniface
would complain. Most of the large
hotels turned away guests last Saturday
and Sunday. aud for tomorrow, the last
really big Sunday of the season. the
throng promises to be considerably
larger. Every hotclkceper that has a
slowed away cot is getting it out for
the late ccmcrs tonight.
That the season is TO be exceptionally
prolonged into September this year is
assured. The cool weather landed the
big crowds here late. and therefore.
they will carry longer than usual. Fur
thermorc. there are to be several i'm
portGnt meetings next month. the most
prominent Of which is the national con
vcntior of Friends, which will open next
Thursday TO continue until Septem-

He has. however. defeated every player

very steep in places. With the single
exception Of the first green ii is impos-
