FISHERMAN'S GREWSOME CATCH.
Glasscock Banner: Last Friday while
ESihLB vi the OStGNLitS AiNGif III t4ilo
county, Mr.. J. D. Johnson happened to
strange and odd luck. Mr.. Johnson
says that while fishing away with no
thought of bringing UP anything but
great number of fishes his hook hung
to something very heavy. Mr. John
son thinking that it was a chunk or
turtle and would break his hook, pulled
very slowly. But when the weight
came to sight he found it to be the
head of a human being. Mr.. Johnson
is quite sure that the head was that
of a colored person. The flesh was in
sUch a state of decay that before it
could be reached it fell back into the
water Search was made for some
time, but the head could not be caught
any more AS far as we know there is
no clue to the mystery.

TransvaaI POSTAGE Stamps.

The Transvaal government has is.
sued a set Of postage stamps, which
are in great demand by collectors.
There are ten varities, each of differ
ent color, ranging in price from one
cent to $3.50 All of the stamps bear
the head of King Edward, facing to
the left, in an oval within 8 finely
beaded frame, in gray black. Above
the head is crown, and at the foot
the word "Transvaal." The one-cent
stamps are a bluish-green, and the
colors of the others range from scar
let to orange, olive green and purple.
The British colonial ONCE, meantime,
is considering a new coat-of-arms de-
sign by Lockwood Kipling, father of
the poet and novelist, for the new
Orange River colony, which was for
merly the Orange Free State. The
coat-of-arms consists of a plain heral-
die shield bearing an orange-tree, and
above it Tudor rose; on the ground
are waved lines, the symbol of water,
typifying the name Bloemfontein.
Two springboks support the shield.

Sheep Eat Bottle Trees.

During the prolonged drought that
has devastated large areas Of Queens
land, few sQuatters have been able
to save a remnant of their flocks and
herds by feeding them on bottle trees.
The scientific name Of this tree is
sterculia, but it's popular name gives
an idea of its shape. 1t is like a
soda water bottle, magnifed to a
height of four or five feet. The bull
bous part contains a mucilaginous
substance, which is wholesome and nu-
tritious to those who have acquired
its taste 1t was pathetic to see the
thirsty sheep gather around bottle
tree, pick up the chips, chew their
and extract all possible moisture.

The benefits that VIII undoubtedly
result 10 farmers from the recent iucor-
poratlon OF the international Harvester
Company which took over the business
OF the Ave leading harvester manufac-
turers have probably not been consid
cred by a large portion Of the farming
community.
The economical necessity Of a cons0l-
idation Of the interests Of manufactur-
ers aud those of their farmer custom
ers must be apparent TO any one who
understands the present situation.
The increased and Increasing cost Of
material, manufacturing and selling
the latter I'm consequence of extreme
and bitter competition between manu-
facturers and thelrseveral selling agents
has made the business Improbable.
The two alternatives left for the
manufacturers were either the increas-
ing Of the prices Of machines or the re-
duction Of the cost of manufacture and
sales The latter could only be accom-
plished by concentrating the business
in one company.
AS can readily be seen, the forming
of the new company was not a stock
jobbing operation but a centerlng Of
mutual interests. There is no watered
stock; the capitalization Is cOnserva-
tive and represented by actual and tan
glble assets. There is no stock offered
to the public It having all been sub
scrbed and paid for by the manufac-
turers and their associates.
The management Of the International
Harvester Company is in the hands of
well known, experienced men.
The officers are: President Cyrus II.
Mccormick; Chairman Executive Com
mittee, Charles Deering; Chairman III
nance Committee, George w. Perkins;
Vice-Presidents, Harold f. Mccormick,
James Deering, VIM. II. Jones and John
J. Glessner; Secretary and Treasurer,
Richard f. Howe. The members of the
Board Of Directors are as follows: Cy-
rus Bentley, William Deering, Charles

Richard T. Howe, Abram NJ. Hyatt,
William H. Jones, Cyrus II. McCor-
mick, Harold f. Mccormick, George

The International Harvester Com
pany owns five Of the largest harvester
plants in existence, the Champion
| Deering, Mccormick, Milwaukee and
Plano-plants that have been produc-
ing nearly or quite 80 per cent of the
harvesting machines of the world.
1t also owns timber and coal lands,
blast furnaces and a steel plant; it has
a new factory in the process of con-
structiOn in Canada
1t is believed that the cost of produc.
ing grain, grass and corn harvesting
| machines will be so reduced that the
present low prices can be continued,
and that consequently the results can
not be otherwise than beneficial to the
| farmer To maintain the present prices
of these machines means to continue
and increase the development of the
agriculture of the world for no one
cause has contributed or can contrib.
ute more to this development than the
cheapness Of machines for harvesting
grains.
