SHOES SHOW A MANS HOME.

The Thicker the SoIes, the Larger the
City.
You can almost tell from what cOun-
try man comes from the weight Of
his Shoes" said J. w. Davy of Chi
cago, who represents a shoe COM
pany.
"You might not believe It," he con-
tinued, but the thicker the soles Of
his shoes the larger the city from
which he comes. In New York it is
almost fad, and the soles of the
shoes there are exceedingly heavy
"They are almost as heavy in Chi
cago. Men wear shoes to protect
their feet. They have not time
enough, it seems. to bother with rub
bers. So they make one pair of
shoes do the work for all kinds of
weather.
Here in Milwaukee and in other
cities of this size, notice the men
wear light shoes and rubbers. sup
pose they have time enough to wear
the overshoes.
up in the country I find that in
many places leather shoes are not
worn at all for several of the winter
months. They wear heavy socks and
then put rubber overshoes over them"

AGRICULTURAL COMPETITION.

A Discussion OF Tariff Relations Be-
tween the United States and Canada
as They Affect Farmers.
Minneapolis, Mimi, March 20.-A
question often discussed by the farm
ers OF the Northwest is the difference
In price OF wheat in the United States
and Canada. 1t has been generally
supposed that much higher price
was paid south of the boundary thar
north. The tremendous expansion of
wheat raising in the Canadian West
and the emigration OF thousands of
Mlddle-West farmers to that section
mas given the question an interest
that it did not have before. Then.
too, the agitation of the subject of
reciprocity with Canada has added tn
the interest, because those who on
pose such reciprocity argue that it
would be injurious to the American
farmer on account Of the Cheap"
wheat that would flow in from Canada
A little investigation of the subject
led to the rather surprising discovery
that. until the close of navigation m
the Great Lakes the price paid to the
farmer for wheat is as high in Can.
ada as in the United States, If not
higher. In fact, it is higher at GER
tain stations. It appears that at
given distance from the lake termin-
ais a higher price is paid in Canada
than in the United States. This is be.
cause freight rates are lower in West
ern Canada than in the Western Unit
ed States. But taking stations on the
opposite sides of the line having the
same freight rates to terminals, it ap-
pears that prior to Nov. Is, the Cana
dian price is slightly higher than the
American. This is probably due to
the eagernsss Of the buyers to get,
g = much wheat as possible out OF the
country before navigation closes. Yha
The Cook County herald. [volume] (Grand Marais, Minn.) 1893-1909, 1904-05-07

higher prices prevailing on the Amer
lean side after the close of naviga-
ton are due to the fact that the close
OF navigation does not restrict the
outlets for the wheat as it does in
Canada. The growth of the flour
milling Industry in Canada, the crea.
ton of an elevator system having
large storing capacity, and the build
ing of a second and third transcon-
tinental railway, all of which are now
in process, will remove this disadvan-
tage. One Of the main objects of the
government in building a line of the
Grand Trunk from Moncton, N. B.. to
the Winnipeg, 1900 miles, is to secure
a cheap all-rail route for wheat from
the Canadian West to the Atlantic.
Thus, even in winter time, there will
soon be no superiority of the Ameri-
can wheat market to the Canadian.
The result will be that Liverpool will
control prices for both countries even
more than now, so long as both have
large surpluses of wheat to send
abroad. Under such conditions the
movement of wheat back and forth
across the line would be a matter of
convenience and would no more dis
turb the price level than the diversion
OF Kansas wheat from the gu lf to
Minneapolis, when the MINNEAPOLIS
mills are short Of wheat, disturbs
prices in Minnesota. Another fact
remarked by those who advocate reci-
procity is that the tendency of North.
western farmers to go out of wheat rails:
Ing Is merely repetition of history.
they hold that when the time comes
when the United States shall not pro-
duce enough wheat for its own con-
sumption, If it ever does, wheat will

Grape-Nuts food is daily recommend

ada on the farmer, it Is noteworthy
that we now export to Canada $751;
$4,000 worth of agricultural prod
ucts, as compared with imports of 49,
100000. Canada is a fine market for
many OF our agricultural products, and
with a freer trade would be a better
one. The entire agricultural produc-
ton OF Canada is so small compared
with that Of the United States that
it is even held by some that the whole
Of it could be- marketed in the United
understanding manifestly impos.
sible-without disturbing prices. II
60,0O0,000 bushels of Canadian wheat
were imported it would only mean that
it would be re-exported, or else would
cause 100000 bushels of American
wheat to be exported-because there
Is a good market for the entire sur
pluses OF both countries. The total
export of eggs from Canada to all tho
world In 1903 did not amount to / per
cent of the American production. For
every dollars worth Of cattle exported
from Canada last year there were $5,-
O0O worth IN the United States. Would
the addition of from one to five thou
sand affect the market? The value of
the horses exported from Canada last
year was one three-thousandth of the
value OF the American horses. More
over, horses and cattle bring as good
prices. in Canada as in the United
States, especially in Western Canada.
Farm labor, too, commands as good
prices in Western, Canada as in the
Western. states. = Both countries are
exporters OF: agricultural products to
Europe, and they produce under prac-
tically the same conditions. Trade be-
tween them in agricultural products is
mutually advantageous and convent

John o. Atkinson,

When old age comes on, catarrhal dis
eases come also. Systemic catarrh is al
most universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has become
so indispensable to old people. Peruna
is their safeguard. Peruna is the only
remedy yet devised that meets these cases
exactly.
Such cases cannot be treated locally;
nothing but an effective systemic remedy
could cure them. This is exactly what
Peruna is.
