NEW ISLANDS DISCOVERED.


Washington, April 23.-oflicial ad-
vices received at the navy depart
ment from the Philippines record the
discovery Of number Of valuable is
lands in the southern part of the
archipelago which are not on any of
the charts in the possession of the
government. So far as known no
foreign government as yet has laid
claim to this territory, and to pre-
clude the presentation of such claims
Secretary Moody has taken steps to
have the islands properly charted as
the property of the United States
after first having every effort made
to learn If any government had
ground for claim to the new islands.
A naval vessel will probably be or
dered to the southern part of the
archipelago to prepare the necessary
charts.

Lightest Running Machine.

HOLLAND, Kas., April IS, 1908.
To The Public:
Hsving bought Of Burkholder &
Son six-foot Buckeye Binder in 1901,
/ find it to be the lightest running
machine on the market. 1t gave me
perfect satisfaction in every way. In
two years have cut almost 400 acres
Of grain. My repairs have not ex-
ceedad $500 and my machine lie in
number one order for this coming
harvest. Three horses will handle
this machine with ease. There is no
weight on the horses necks when in
motion and very little when standing
averaged 20 acres a day last year.
Yours Respectfully,
T. e. ROBSON.

HOLLAND, Kas., April 4, 1908.

HOLLAND, Kas., April 4, 1908.
The Buckeye Binder is all o. K.
It's put up right and built to stay.
The draft is surely very light and it
ties the bundles and ties them tight.
Not bit Of weight on the neck Of the
team is where It beats any other ma
chine. 1t will 60 right along with
out neck yoke, l tried 1t once when
mine got broke. 1t will cut grain
short or cut it tall or bind your
sorghum along in the fall. II there
is anything else you want to know
come around next harvest and see it

HOLLAND, Kas., April 2, 1908.

To Whom This May Concern:
This is to certify that l bought Of
Burkholder & Son a seven-foet Buck
eye Binder. As regards to, draft /
think it as light as any Of them As
to the work it does l can freely say
there are none can equal IL. Can cut
grain that is very badly tangled. In
the year 1900 / had running on my
farm two new machines, they left 80
much grain on the ground that I
spoke to them about it. But they
said they were doing the best they
could. lost more than the price Of
cutting the wheat. As to The kind Of
machines do not care to mention.

MEXIcAN BUDGET.
frances Approval of Limantour's
Monetary Plan Gratifying.

Mexico City, August 27.-The
news from France that the govern
ment of that country practically
approves Minister 'L;mantours
plan for giving a modified gold ba-
sis by stabilizing the silver currency
is received with satisfaction. The
sentiment in favor of stabilized
currency steadily glows stronger as
it is seen that the temporary rise
in silver makes larger trade and
that all fluctuations upset COM
mercial and financial calculations.
1t is believed here that the present
rise is due wholly to artificial con-
ditions and is the result of mani
pulation in New York and London.

Out At The Jagou Ranch.
Oranges, Lemons. Bananas and All
other Fruits, Besides All Kinds
of Vegetables Thrive There.

Saturday, when the HERALD
young man was feeling all run
down and tired and disguised with
the incessant grind of newspaper
work he was held up and invited
to put away 'the cares that infest
the day" for once and forget all
his troubles while enjoying the
pleasures of life in the green fields
and fresh pastures out in the coun-
ty. The temptation was too much
to resist. There were business de-
mands of an urgent nature, but
these were put aside for one day
and the scribe consented to he
guest of the Jagou brothers at their
fine old ranch home four miles
southeast from Brownsville.
Accordingly yesterday morning
we got into a carryaIl in company
with Mrs. Katie Leah, little Nora
and Mr.. VIM. H. O'Connor and
soon were speeding across country
toward the ranch. We arrived
about IL o'clock a. m. and were
met by Mr.. Adolph Jagou, Mrs.
Jagou and Mr.. Albert Jagou and
the full liberty of the premises
turned over to US.
The hospitality of the Jagous is
proverbial. They never fail to make
their guests enjoy the privileges of a
visit to their home to the utmost. We
strolled out to look at the banana
orchard, then came back by the
resaca and look a turn in the row
boat launched under the shaded
bridge. Next we were invited TO
target practice with Mrs. Jagou's
% calibre gun, and Mr.. OConnor
easily carried off the trophy with
his expert shooting. We visited the
garden where vegetables OF every
variety have fiourished in season
and where there are yet fine beds
of asparagus, peppers, tomatoes, etc.
There are a great number oftrees
loaded with the finest of sweet
oranges, lemons on every hand,
citrons, and several other varieties
of semi-tropical and tropical fruits
and nuts, grapes, etc. A genuine
cork tree is another curiosity, and
Japanese bamboo cane forty feet
high and eight inches in diameter.
After eating one of the best home
grown and home prepared veget-
able dinners we have partaken OF
in long while, and then enjoying
a delightful siesta in the cool parlor
where the balmy south wind
whispered gentle lullaby, we
strolled out to the picnic grounds
about a mile away down the resaca.
There Mr.. O'Connor again demon
strated his superior craftsmanship
in a target shoot.
Returning to the house we were
served with splendid supper and
shortly afterward babe our hosts I
poodbv. We arrived in the city |
about s o'clock, and while rather
physically wearied we were greatly
reiuvenated in mind and spirit.
Nothing like life in the country to
make fellow feel that it Is worth
while to live, and especially when
one meets up with such generous, /,
unbounded hospitality as is ac
corded to everybody at the Jagou
home.
