Flight Until the End.

Life can be made success. 1t is not
question Of climbing above poverty;
1t is a question Of understanding life.
So many Of us have been lured away
and fascinated by what turn out to be
phantoms and false gods! We have
had to wheel back and begin over
again and fight along against tremen-
dous odds, and yet with all that life
can be made success, for success con-
sists In doing right, in doing the best
you can with what you have, Of years
Of experience, Of sorrows, of chances,
Of joys and Of hope. Fight until the
end.-Schoolmaster.

Cost of False Noses.

People sometimes lose their noses by
disease or by accidents, and some have
lost them in war. For noseless persons
the most appropriate organs are said
to be made of wax, and the best ones
cost about $175, though a really good
one can be got for $75. A nose made
Of papier mache may be bought for So.
Noses made of this material are enam-
eled and are deceptive, and for a poor
man they are said to answer all the
purposes that are required. Waxen and
paper noses are, in case of disease,
preferable to those made by the plant
ing Of flesh on the diseased part for
several cases have been known where
the transplanting of the flesh of the
nose has endangered mems lives.-Lon-
don Tit-Bits.

Burton Farmers, Club.

The August meeting of the Burton
Farmers Club was held at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Adam Auiler.
The newly elected president, Fred
Love, made the following appointments:
Chaplain, N M. Randall; committee on
program, Mrs. Giles, James Pest and r.
G. Shepard; committee on music, G.. c..
Potter, Mrs. VIM E. Murrill and Mrs.
Auiler; reception committee, Mr.. Giles,
Mrs. Martin and Mrs. Potter sick COM
mittee, Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. T. Mason,
Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Rush and Mr.. and
Mrs. CIR. Woodin.
After disposing of a long list of promis-
/ cuous questions, Mrs. John Sherman
read brief sketch of the life of John
Wesley; Mrs. Merrill, of the life of Mrs
Elizabeth Frey and Mrs. G.. G. Potter of
Fanny Crosby our greatest hymn poet.
Mr.. Potter was asked which pays best
eggs or chickens2 He said Mrs Potter
had intimated that eggs paid better than
chickens, but he had been investigating
this egg and chicken problem for the
past month and had decided in favor of
the chickens.
He was followed by Frank Post, re-
cent graduate of the Owosso High school,
who said, "The last census gave the
value of poultry raised in the U. S. dur
ing the year 1899 as $138, s91, s79, of eggs
produced the sum of S144, 2S6, 15S leav-
ing balance in favor of eggs of 81, 1884,
$751;"
Should the public money be used to
maintain the high schools? was
thoroughly discussed. F. H. Rush ex-
planned that the law recently enacted
devoting public money to that purpose,
applied only to the Upper Peninsula.
The general opinion was that the law is
all right.
George 7. Mason gave very inter
esting report of his trip to California
and home again. Master Irving Auiler
gave al recitation entitled, Breaking
the Ice. The club singers assisted by
Miss Wykes, of Owosso furnished the
music for the day.
There was general attendance of the
club members and large number of in
vite1 guests were present. Mr.. and
Mrs. Auiler gave their friends pleas
ant reception and all had very happy
time.
The next meeting will be held at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. G. r. Woodin.

CUBAN BUNCO STATISTICS.
How the United States Fares in the
Scramble for Trade Advantages.

Washington is surprised to make the
discovery that though Cuba is getting
richer every day, and though she is ask
ing tariff concessions from the United
States to give her products an advan-
tage in this market over those of other
foreign countries, the Cuban people
themselves are buying less from the
United States and more from Europe.
While her imports from this country
fell from 1873 per cent. of the total in
1900 to 1872 per cent. in 1901 and 41.6
per cent. in 1902, other countries have
made steady gains in their sales to
Cuba, the Germans doubling theirs, and
Spain, France, Great Britain!and others
making constant increases not only in
the amounts but in the proportions of
their trade with the new republic. This
was only to be expected, as the Press
often pointed out, for nation will buy
where the market is most favorable to
it, just as it will sell where the market
offers the largest advantage. If we
take down our tariff barriers for Cuba
she will sell us more of her products,
especially as the United States is the
natural market for them; but it does
not follow that because we buy more
from Cuba, Cuba will buy more from us
unless we sell to her on better terms
and more favorable conditions than any
body else. She will simply take the
money which we pay her and spend it
where she can get the most for it or
get what she most wants, just as an in
dividual does when he receives his earn
ings or profits and goes out to spend
them for what he needs or desires.
However much we buy from Cuba
and whatever we do to favor her prod
ucts in this market above the products
of other foreigners, Cuba will buy, as
she always has done and always will do,
where she thinks she gets the best bar
gains and on the most acceptable terms.
1t has been the custom of Old World
merchants, for example, to sell to Cuba
on long time credit. 1t is not custom
of our merchants to do this. 1t has
been possible and still is possible for
Old World merchants to offer lower
prices for most articles Of consumption
in Cuba than we can offer, because our
cost of production in those articles is
higher. Where we have been able to
make better prices than anybody else, as
we have been in some things we have
commanded the Cuban market to that
extent, as is represented by our 40 per
cent. share of her total imports. Where
we have not somebody else has COM
manded that market, as represented by
the other go per cent. divided among our
competitors. These considerations have
been paramount in the past; they will
be in the future. There is no sentiment
about export and import trade. 1t is
business.
In our reciprocity propositions with
Cuba the United States has simply been
prepaiinga bunco for the American peo-
pie, as we shall grow to understand more
and more as the bunco statistics come
more fully to our use and knowledge

The blood is the life" Science has
never gone beyond that simple state
ment of scripture. But it has illumi-
mated that statement and given it a
meaning ever broadening with the in
creasing breadth of knowledge. When
the blood is bad" or impure it is alone
the tody which suffers through disease.
The brain is also clouded, the mind and
judgment are affected, and many an
evil deed or impure thought may be
directly traced to the impurity Of the
blood. No one can be we'll balanced in
mind and body whose blood is impure.
No one can have wholesome and pure
life unless the blood is pure. Foul
blood can be made pure by the use of
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
When the blood is pure, body and brain

II am further glad of its omission be-
cause doubt the wisdom of attempting
the control of monopoly, or its destruc-
ton, by the destruction of our protective
system. l am as fully intent as any
man in saving our people harmless from
the trust and from monopoly, but hope
it can be done through the Sherman act
and through other forms of legislation
without encroaching upon the tariff
laws of the country.
TARIFF LAWS ARE FOR LABOR.
Tariff laws, tariff theories, have
their strength because of the blessings
they bring to the wage earners of the
country. Tariff laws are enacted in the
interest of labor, and only incidentally
that manufacturers may be benefited,
and if few manufacturers conspire to-
gether to extort unduly from the con-
sumers of the United States, say let us
punish them and not punish the labor
ing masses by the destruction of their
labor field.
II am not one Of those who believe
that all blessings come to us from
worldwide competition. AS protec-
ZIONIST l cannot believe this.
What are protective duties other
than barriers to free competition
When we agree to tariff schedule i'm
posing duties upon our foreign competi-
tors, we say to him, we do not rely upon
your competition to secure diminishing
cost for our necessaries of life, but we
propose to give our own people our en-
tire market and then rely upon their
competition, one with another, to secure
the just and fair price"

blow to this community. Well known
and generally liked, Mr.. Dimond was
one Of the aggressive spirits OF the

progress Of Honolulu and the Territory.
He was in the prime OF life and was
naturally classed among those locked
upon to lead in the near future. His
business ideals we're progressive, and
