Four Kinds of Patrons.

A speaker st dairymen conven-
ton described four kinds Of patrons
of the creamery: 1. The model pa
iron, the man with first-class barns,
first-class cows and f1rst-class feed. To
these are added first-class methods.
2. The dairyman that has al the APP
pliances named above, but has poor
methods. 8. The. man that mas good
cows and good barns bnt cares moth
ing about feed or methods, trying to
get the most money out of the cream
cry possible for the least work. 4.
The farmer that has poor barns, poor
cows, poor feed and poor methods. He
generally produces poor milk and lit
tie of it.
Enormous Consumption of Cheese.
Great Britain and Ireland import
about 265, 100000 pounds of cheese
each year. Canada supplies about co
per cent of the whole.

your seed to the agents of the trust
The Independent mill can and will pay
Just as much for your seed as the trust.
If the trust can live and grow fat, give
the local mills the preference and the
best chance. 1t is on the line of pro-
tecting a home industry and making the
power of the trust weak for the future
l have given you all the figures need
full to work out the value of ton Of
seed from the oil mill standpoint every
day in the year. These market values
are always printed in the market col
umns of your paper. If the price of oil
should drop for any cause, hold back
your seed until prices advance. Don't
sell on a low market just to get rid or
your seed and then after the seed are
hauled from the farm and delivered to
the mills see the price of oil advancing.
The farmers can certainly control the
seed market if they will.
The effort is certainly worth making.
If a farmer wants to exchange his seed
for meal and bulls, get the full market
price for your seed and pay the mill. e
market price for meal and bulls A fair
exchange at present valuations would be
one ton of seed for 1000 pounds OF meal
and one ton of hulls, or one ton of seed
for $50 pounds of meal. OF course such
an exchange cannot be perfected If you
allow the mills to price your seed at
$14 per ton. The fight for better prices
can be easily won if farmers will stand
steadfastly together and simply demand
their legitimate rights.

TOAsTs AND PROMISES.

Baltimore American: God made the
earth and then rested then He made
man and rested. Finally He made Wo-
man. and neither God, man nor the devil
have rested since"
To bring home most effectually the
sentiment in the above witticism, Mary
E. Diemar. a charming Milwaukee girl,
has sued Delevan s. Foote, of Chicago,
for breach OF promise in the sum of $780,,
600.
Among the billet doux alleged to have
been sent by Foote to Miss Diemar was
one containing the question aimed at
woman. Miss Diemar refers to it now
with some satisfaction, and her lawyer
believes there is trace of truth in it.
Miss Diemar is a niece of Louis Timm,
formerly Secretary OF State for Wis
consin and now Auditor in the United
States Treasury Department. Foote is
manager Of the Chicago Advertising
Company. Miss Diemar did not tear up
her love letters from Foote. They are
in her attorneys hands, tabulated and
classified according to their warmth. In
one letter Foote wrote:
You sweet girl: oh, you're missed by
a large majority"
In another letter he passionately in
scribed this: Dearest, you are simply
grand and lovely. You are constantly
missed"
Foote was a great admirer of toasts,
which he collected and sent to Mil
Waukee thus:
Here's to one, and only one,
And may that one be she,
Who loves but one, and only one,
And may that one be me.
1t is said at that time Mr.. Foote was
the contest one,' and that the girl wore
an engagement ring. Here is one OF the
sentiments which is said to have led
Miss Diemar to believe Mr.. Foote had
serious intentions:
Here's to the grape that makes the rud-
dy wine,
I'll be your sweetheart if you'll be mine;
I'll be constant if you'll be true,
I'll leave my happy home for you.
Another toast that Mr.. Foote proposed
to Miss Diemar, which is considered by
the prosecution to have the true flavor
of matrimonial intent, was this one:
Here's to you, my sweetheart, may you
live a thousand years;
Here's to me, my sweetheart, may l live
a thousand years, less one day:
For what would life be after you had
passed away?
This romance Of toasts and tender
epistles is said to have had its inception
in a moonlight sleigh ride at Waukegan,
Illinois, in November, 1900. The tickle
Foote put his love in cold storage some
six months ago, hence the suit.

Millions i'm the Dixie Oil
Mills.
Continued from Page Nine.)

son and nearly all of them do that, the
net profit on this basis for the season
business would amount to, in round num-
bers, to $4,000. This has been about
the average profit to the mills the past
season, which as stated above, was
probably the most profitable season oil
mills have had in several years. Whether
the coming season will be as profitable
is of course entirely speculative.
TRUE VALUE OF SEED.
The farmers who have seed to sell this
fall should study the situation, and, after
getting the facts and figures as given
above, be able to arrive at a fair price
which they should demand from the
mills. The oil mill people claim that they
will be satisfied with $1.00 net profit on
each ton they work. Basing that esti-
mate on present prices for oil, meal and
hulls, and deducting $3.50 per ton to
cover the cost of freight and manufac-
ture, leaving the mills $1.00 profit per
ton, the present price of seed should be
$1,000 per ton, or about 80 cents per
bushel.
These figures are based upon cold blood
ed facts which the oil mills can neither
deny or refute. At the opening of the
ginning season. for some reason the
price of oil is always forced down, and
the price of seed based upon existing
low markets for oil. For the same rea-
son, doubtless, the price of cotton is de-
pressed at the opening of the season, SO
that the spectators and spinners can
get the staple cheap while the rush is
on. Cotton seed oil is several cents a
gallon cheaper now than it was three
months ago, although the demand, in
view of the fact that no oil is being
manufactured, should be higher.
SOME WHOLESOME ADVICE.
There is no need to be extravagant
with printers ink in condemning the oil
mill people for buying their seed as low
as they can get them. They are not in
the business for their health. The oil
mill man will depress the seed market
as quick as the cotton buyer They both
have the same object in view and that
is to buy the raw material as cheap as
possible and sell the manufactured pro-
duct as high as possible. What the pro-
ducers should do, is to keep themselves
posted and demand the true value OF
their seed, which at the present time is
80 cents perbushel 1t does no good to
sell your seed at $12 or $14 per ton and
then "cuss" out the oil mill people for
getting the best Of you in the trade.
Stand firm for your rights and you will
receive them. Protect the local. indie
pendent home mills by selling your seed
to them, instead of strengthening the
power of the oil mill trust by selling

All people who buy creeses should boil
the blade in strong I've, and then polish it
until the metal has a bright surface. The
Malay spear varies from wooden pole,
sharpened in the fire, to staff at whose

MASSACRE BY FILIPINOS.
Eyes of Constables Gouged Out and
Their Bodies Minced.

From the Manila Times, April 0.
A band of fifty outlaws, armed with rifles
and bolos. attacked five members of the
Philippine constabulary on the main road
between Bulusan and Barcelona, in the
province of Sorsogon, on the evening of
April 4. The inhuman wretches captured
and foot, gouged out their eyes with sharp
hardwood sticks, and then, placing them in
the burning sand with the sun beating into
their eyeless sockets, commencing at their
feet, cut them into small pieces with bolos,
adding every possible feature of barbaric
torture except burning.
The other two members of the constabu-
larry escaped to Sorsogon, where, nearly
dead from an awful race of ten miles, they
tried to convey some idea of the fate of
their comrades. When the attack was first
made the constabulary poured a hot fire
into the band, several were seen to fall, and
they were held in check for several min
utes, but they soon realized that they had
only one chance to save their lives, with
such overwhelming numbers against them
that of flight. Only two were equal to the
emergency, and they escaped only by leav-
ing their arms and ammunition.
A detachment of the constabuary left
Sorsogon soon as the men reached there.
only evidences left of the struggle were
small pieces Of human flesh and bone,
bearing mute record Of the awful fate Of
their former companions in arms
1t is learned from the Times informant
at Sorsogon that the attacking band was

mountains on the east of SorSogon, about
ten miles from where this party Of cut

ONCE OWNED MARTINIQUE.
Grandmother of a Georgia Woman
Traded Greater Part of Island.

From the Athens (Ga.) Banner.
A most interesting story was told a Ban
ner reporter concerning the original pos
session of the Island of Martinique. The
story concerns Mrs. s. c. Reese Of this
city, whose grandmother once owned a
greater part of the volcanic isle Mrs. Reese S
grandmother was Nine. Gouvain, who was
closely related in marriage to Count de
Trobriand of France. She was an intimate
friend of Josephine de Beauharnais, who
afterward became the wife of the great
Napoleon, and she left France on the night
on which Napoleon married the Austrian
princess, Marie Louise, and came to Amer
lea.
Not satisfied with her possessions in the
French West Indies after her coming to
America, she traded her land on the Island
OF Martinique to Count d Estrang, the gal
liant French officer to whom We're given
valuable lands in America for his services
to the colonies during the revolution. Most
of these lands were in the southern states
and 10000 acres were situated in Georgia,
some of which embraced the present site
of Athens, and others of which lay near
TalluIah Falls
Nine Gouvain was advised by her agent
to sell her possessions in Martinique on ac-
count of the volcanic condition of the
country, and time has proved the wisdom
Of her choice. She was a very wealthy
woman, and in close confidence with the
powers of the monarchy of France. Mrs.
Reese has now in her possession most
gorgeous dress of her grandmother, which
was worn at the marriage of Napoleon to
Josephine Beauharnafs and which is
priceless relic. The story of the division
of the Gouvain estate, formerly belonging
to D. EStang, is one of piecemeal separation
and division until it became possessed by
hundreds of relatives of the noted French
woman. Mrs Reese possesses much infor
nation in the shape of papers maps, etc,
concerning the Island of Martinique which
descended from it's original owner.

AN ALASKAN LIFE-SAVER.
How Dune McCabe's Wife Fell in
Water and Made Tidal Wave.

From the Alaska Prospector.
Sergeant Josef Froelich had an exciting
adventure last week, in which he played
the role of a live-saver. No doubt he learned
to save lives in Germany. This unfortunate
event happened while Josef was out boat
riding in company with Mrs. Duncan Nc
Cabe, the wife of Dune McCabe, the best
blacksmith on the bay.
Mrs. McCabe is not a light woman by
any means and during some feminine move
ment lost her balance and upset the boat,
causing both Of it's occupants to be precipi-
tated into the icy waters of the bay. Other
boats were near, but the parties were so
confused by the novel sight that they did
not know what to do. Josef, with great
GOODNESS and presence of mind, saved Mrs.
her and taking her ashore. She did not
look much the worse for her trying eXper-
fence. The forts new wireless telegraphy
system was brought into use and a mes
sage hastily sent to Dune for warm clohtes.
Our friend Josef had on his best suit and
it was utterly ruined.
Mrs. Duncan McCabe, being somewhat
heavy woman, displaced considerable
amount of water as she fell in the bay. AT
about the same time Sergeant McHugh, our
provo, was walking along the beach nearly
a mile from the scene of the accident, in
company with Sergeant Daggett. He was
nearly drowned by the tidal wave that sud-
denly appeared, but was rescued by the
timely action of his companion.
The affair was treated as a joke at the
fort, and Josef was numerically guyed by
his comrades. 1t was good thing that it
was not a young lady, or perhaps there
would have been a wedding at the fort in
the near future. 1t is much regretted by
the members of Company G that Sergeant
McHugh was obliged to go on sick report
after his experience.

with eyes of the lighter color. What we
can understand is thai blue eyes. or eyes

thing. Take man who has a large blue
eye, and whose eyes are wide and strongly
inclined to white, and the first drink will
tell on him. The small, sharp blue or gray
eye is not so bad, but even in the case of
eyes of this kind drink will show more
readily than it will in eyes of the more
somber hue.
The black-eyed man is lucky. A barrel
of whisky will have no effect on him so far
as his eyes go. Black eyes never get that

would be interesting for some man to take

THE PRESS IN ITALY.
It Thrives Because It Supplies New
Demand for Facts.

From the London Pail Mall Gazette.
In the peninsula the leading papers are
six pages and cost a halfpenny. The time,
as was the case forty years ago with the
FanfulIa, an imitation of the Figaro, when
to make a good newspaper the only things
required were a desk, pair of scissors,
and a few brilliant writers, is looked upon
now as almost prehistoric. 1 assisted per-

the starting of large daily in Rome, the

ing to undertake the business and guaran-
tee success unless he had at his disposal

The largest expense is for foreign tele-
grams, which occupy space of about six
columns, sent by private correspondents in
all the European capitals, including St.
Petersburg and Madrid, besides New York
and the River Plate Republics, where about
one-third of the population is Italian. A
difficulty which the papers here, unknown
to their AnglO-Saxon contemporaries, have
to reckon with is the smaller remuneration
they draw from advertisements, the maxi
mum being about 10000 a year. They
must therefore, rely to great extent on
the circulation, which has reached in some

United States when, in 1891, eleven Ital-
ians were iynched at New Orleans. The
Italo-Abyssinian war of 1895 showed the
bravery and cleverness of several CORE

on the field, and represented for the papers

The Hispano-American war and the Chi

siderable reputation, especially through an
interview with NJ. Delcasse which first an

Mediterranean questions, and another with
Chancellor Won Buelow on the renewal of
the triple alliance.
