The cooperative plan Of marketing
tobacco, which is now carrying the New
England growers by storm, is subject to
the following criticism by the Lancaster,
Pa, New Era:
This is not the first time that similar
schemes have been suggested, but never,
SO far as we can remember, has one of
such magnitude or far-reaching aims
been brought to public attention. To-
bacco growers in all the states have had
their seasons and years of depression.
When prices are very low and tobacco
is not in demand, and growers have to
sell their crops for whatever is offered
for them, there is grumbling, and that
calls out plans for combination and cor
poration. Then is the time when the
disappointed farmers believe that they
can devise some measures that will pro-
tect their industry and bring them bet
ter prices. 1t is not necessary for us to
say that none of these plans has ever
proved successful. The last attempt
that we remember was in New England
itself, only few years ago. We do not
remember whether it survived one or
two years; at all events, it seems to have
satisfied no one, and died a very natural
death. We are frankly of the opinion
that the present plan, even though it
shall reach the stage of active opera
tions, will fare no better. There are too
many tobacco growers in the country to
be drawn into the scheme, however de-
sirable it may be. These men do not all
think alike. No management, however
efficient or honest, would satisfy them
ALL and this would soon lead to the dis
of the corporation. Really,
we are unable . see how the tobacco
growers of this state and county would
be benefited ~ the scheme. Could the
trust sell their tobacco sooner
Or for larger prices than they sell it
Would they get the money |
for their crop into their pockets as
quickly as they do now? There would |
be costs and commissions to pay, which |
10 not have to be paid now. A corpora
ion cannot force a manufacturer to buy |
when he doesn't want to any more than
he individual grower can. 1t is incred- |
BILE that the crop should be marketed as
quickly by the proposed method as by
he present one. After all is said and |

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES.

The food of correspondence that has
reached this office the past few weeks
relating to the growing of tobacco in new
sections of the state leads TO the conclu
sion that there will be very material
increase of acreage the coming season
and much of it too in territory that has
not heretofore gone through the expert
mental stages of raising tobacco. The
infection to become tobacco growers is
spreading like the grip and Lake Super
ior alone will be the northern limit, un-
less it's course is soon run. Nothing save
an early frost or poor crop will stay the
expansion of the tobacco growing Sec
tions of our state The history of 1885
seems likely to repeat itself. That year
tobacco was grown in more new sections
than ever before but single poor crop
and bad handling by inexperienced grow
ers put an end to the expansion, return
ing the area to it's normal location in a
few counties in the southern portion of
the state from which it has gradually ex-
tended.

In the opinion of the .. S. Tobacco
Journal the tobacco interests were con-
siderably ignored in the Cuban treaty
ratified by the Senate last week, and the
following is it's comment:
It was amended in several essentials,
all in favor of the beet sugar people, cot
ton raisers and the flour mills, but it did
not make the concession of an iota to the
tobacco interests either in regard to the
uniform rate or in restoring the full duty
on cigars. Why of all the interests af
fected by the treaty the tobacco inter
ests alone should have been left so Sc
verely in the cold is a question that
would seem to require some explanation
by somebody. The amendment requir-
ing the approval of the House puts
the responsibility for the taking effect
of the treaty on the lower end of the
Capitol. The opinion seems to prevail
that the House will never give the
treaty it's approval, and if SO this result
will undoubtedly be hailed as negative
achievement of the tobacco interests,
which have failed to persuade the Sen
ate to amend the treaty in accordance
with the we'll l-known demands of equity
by the trade. At any rate, the treaty's
ultimate ratification has been put off for
at least another year, and the Havana
business can now 60 on, for this period,

WHERE CHARITY BEGINS.
Wise Bros, the Portland Dentists, Say
'l1elp ThyseIf."

Wise Bros, the Portland Dentists, Say
"Iielp ThyseIf."
In many ways the dentist is your
best friend.
He helps you when your teeth are
tined. When your teeth wear out and
break down he steps in and braces them
up, puts new life into them, and makes
them efficient. Your success in life,
your feelings, whether OF contentment
or worry, greatly depend upon how
your nourishment agrees with you. Is
it not certainty that your food will do
you little good if your teeth are unable
ITO perform their rightful work? To say
nothing Of the advantage of having a
good looking set of teeth (than which
nothing is more effectively attractive)
1t is more comfortable, and absolutely
indispensable to health, happiness and
success, to have a set of teeth that are
capable of being used.
Why delay minute?
There is no pain connected with
having your teeth put in perfect order.
There is no pain in getting an entire
new set of teeth, which cannot be told
from natural ones. Wise Brothers, in
the Failing Building, Portland, Oregon,
are making scores of people happy
every day, by sending them away with
as good set of teeth as nature ever put
into mans or woman's head. The
cost of their work is extremely mod
crate.
There is little excuse for anyone,
nowadays, neglecting their teeth.
Teeth are extracted absolutely without
pain, and the expense of starting new
in life, with sound set of teeth, is
slight. Charity begins at home, and
all persons having regard for their own
welfare should go Immediately and con-
suit such eminent modern dentists as
Wise Brothers.

Harleech, whose appearance Of solid

the strength of the chieftains of Wales
before Llewellyn was compelled to
surrender to the superior force and
resources of Edward l. of England. The
square shoulders and round towers Of
the castle did not come into being un-
til after that important event. Indeed,
the structure owes its existence to the
genius of the great monarch whose
name the present ruler Of Great Brit
ain bears. But there have been events
in its history which the Welsh as we'll
as the English, point to with pride.

GIRL STUDENTS AT ABERDEEN.
Life In the University Town Between
the Don and the Dee.


According to London Lady, the Alb
erdeen University Court, after a ten
years. trial, has no reason to regret
the admission of girls to Aberdeen Uni
versity. There are two ancient col
leges-King's, founded in 1894, and
Marischal's, founded about century
later. Not only in arts, but in medi-
cine, do the girl students distinguish
themselves. In the former, for ex-
ample, the CDR. Black Prize in Latin"
and the "Seafield Gold Medal in Lat
in" were won in the winter sessions Of
1901 by the same young lady, while in
Greek many honors have fallen to the
lot Of the girl students. The Fife
Jameson Gold Medal for Anatomy"
the "Lizars Gold Medal for the same
study, have been carried off by girl
students, and 1t should be noted that
the first-named prize is considered the
blue ribbon" of that branch Of study.
Girl students have also won laurels
for practical work In the dissecting
room.
From these facts it will be seen that
girl student life in Aberdeen Is quite
different from life at Girton, Newn-
ham and other girls colleges which
are "among the universities, but not
of them" Aberdeen is university for
women students as well as for male
students, and the former are on exact
ly the same footing as the latter, ana
share along with them every privilege
of their alma mater. Side by side they
sit In the classes, together they go up
to the exams, and the girl student,
especially If medical" considers it
point Of honor to secure for herself,
II possible, the best prizes and medals
Of the university.
These girl students are interesting
figures in the streets Of the Granite
city, attired as they usually are in the
scarlet gown and black and scarlet
tasseled trencher of the Aberdeen
undergraduate, or in the robe and
black and white hood Of the M. A. de-
gree, which, when capped" they
wear with a laudable amount of hon.
est pride over their evening gowns at
the graduation evening reception in
the beautiful Mitchell hall of Mari
schal College. }

Harlech was built in the latter part
of the twelfth century by King Edward
| of England, who has been described
by some historians as the greatest OF
all English monarchs. From an early
age he became famous throughout
Christendom as the bravest and most
dexterous of warriors. His first expert
ence in actual warfare was during the
contest between his father and the bar
ons from 1858 to 1867. In the nine years
of the struggle his character became
matured and his experience ripened.
He then ranked among the first knights,
generals and statesmen of the day.
Edward was proclaimed King Of Eng
land in 1872. Within few years he de-
termined to extend his power over
Wales and Scotland. Llewellyn was
then Prince Of Wales, when Edward
sent word to him to come and do hon.
age to the wearer Of the crown. Llew-
ellyn thrice sent back word that he
would rather not. Edward thereupon
went with his feet to the coast Of
Wales and compelled Llewellyn to flee
to the mountains of Snowdon. where
he starved him into treaty Of peace.
Believing he had reduced Wales to
obedience, the King returned to Eng
land. The spirit Of the Welsh was
aroused, however, by acts of insolence
on the part of Edwards subjects, and,
headed by Prince David, brother Of
Llewellyn, they rose in revolt like one
man. Edward returned to Wales. For
months and months the people of the
rocky coast held out against the forces
Of the King, but Llewellyn was cap
tured and brutally beheaded, and
David, betrayed by one Of his own
countrymen, was hanged, drawn and
quartered. The fall of the two great
brothers accomplished the subjugation
Of Wales. To prevent future rebellions
Edward built many fortresses, of
which Harlech was the strongest.
When he died and his weak son came
into power and Wales again enjoyed
sort Of national liberty, Harlech was
power in the defense of the country,
