RACKETS SWING
ON THE COURTS
Many Matches Are Played
Oh the Club Courts and
in Golden Gate Park

On the California tennis courts yes
terday several continuous tournament
matches were played, while at the pub
lie courts in Golden Gate Park the
four6h-class tournament was completed
down to the finals. The latter event
was started several weeks age, but has
been postponed several times on ac-
count of the wet weather. Only eight
players were left to compete yesterday,
but owing to delay occasioned by wait
ing for a player who did not appear
the game was not finished. n. P. Mar
tin and w A. Peck reached the finals,
which will be played next Sunday.
In the continuous tournament three
first-class matches were played, with
the result that George James remains
IL third place and Carl Gardner goes up
one number. In the Janes-Wfll Collier
match the latter was the challenger
and lost three sets out of four. By nlu-
tual agreement the match was made
three sets out of five instead Of two out
OF three All four sets were close, but
James clearly outplayed his opponent.
He won the first two sets and Collier
took the third. James led at 81 in the
fourth and won out when Collier got as
far as As.
Carl Gardner went up only one peg
but he beat two good men. In the first
match he beat S. H. Adams two sets
out of three. Gardner was No. II and
Adams No. 13 Gardner next took on
Frank Mitchell, who was No. IL, and
won three sets out of four. Gardner
won the first, second and fourth sets
easily. The third Mitchell took by a
small margin.
Two matches were played in the third
class and two in the fourth. In the
former Spencer Grant (5) beat H. E.
Punnett go, and Moulton Warner (2)
beat Dr. Lovegrove (4). In the fourth
class NJ. Little 60 beat DR.. Noble "a,

ACCIE v RUNS
IN FINE FORM
Talent Makes Her Short End
Throughout the Day and
She Captures the Stake

I. Burke's Aggie w proved a STUN
bling block for the talent yesterday at
Union Coursing Park. They laid odds
against her in all her trials and she
romped home with the reserve stake
in clever style. She beat in success
sion Miss Lucille at to l, Sunny
brook at to /, Medea at to 1. Bob
at to 2, Renegade Apache at 8
to and Racing Auto at to 4.
In the deciding course Racing Auto
dropped dead after running more than
two minutes. Aggie w showed to be
the faster as she led and won the
course easily. She coursed after the
hare four minutes and twenty-four
seconds before the relief dog killed the
jack.
Quita won the flag from Carlow
Boy in the final of the class stake
Carlow Boy was on the short end at
to and led the favorite six lengths
to the hare, but tired badly The
fayorite then came on and won easily.
The coursing throughout the day
was first class and the hares tested
the dogs to the limit. The betting
was unusually even on account of the
large number of spectators who were
willing to back their choices Follow

EASY TO TALK REFORM.

Cedar Rapids Republican: 1t is
comparatively easy to create discon-
tent with any tariff law that can be
framed, by attacking it piecemeal or
in spots. Comparatively few men,
not trained to the consideration or
great questions, look at many matters
from anything like a national stand
point. Selfish interests appeal to
them, especially when made adroitly.
Now protective tariff is not
framed from any local standpoint.
Men who shape tariff legislation are
forced to take a nationwide view of
things. After many hearings and no
end Of study, and alter mutual con-
cessions and compromises, a measure
is finally framed that does substan-
tial justice to many interests, and to
all sections of the country. 1t can
never be an act that would be abso-
lutely satisfactory in all particulars
to any particular section Of the coun-
try, viewing the matter from a purely
local standpoint.
rOr the very reason that tariff
measures are so framed and so pass.
ed, 1t makes it easy for agitators and
neutrality-suspicious. to slip around here
and there, and make particular ap-
peals to particular people in particu-
lar sections and thus getting them to
demand what they call reform.
For example, the Minneapolis mil
lers want to buy wheat just as cheap
ly as possible; therefore the tariff
ripper comes to the Minneapolis mil
lers and he says: Look here, this
Dingley law ought to be changed.
You fellows ought to have free
wheat" The Minneapolis miller
agrees to that, and the reformer dis
creetly goes no farther. Suppose he
had continued his criticisms, and ar
ter the Minneapolis miller had said.
Yes, and we ought to have free flour,
too" Straightway the Minneapolis
miller would have objected to that.
In like manner the tariff ripper goes
to the boot and shoe manufacturer
down in New England, and he says,
Look here, this DingIey law ought to
be changed. You ought to have free
hides" That's just what we think"
says the boot and shoe manufacturer

IOWA DAIRY INTERESTS.

Iowa is not generally regarded as
the leading dairy state in the Union.
A few years ago our state held that
rank, and at one time produced near
ly one-fifth of all the creamery butter
marketed in the United States. The
dairy interests have suffered a de-
preston during recent years and sys-
tematic efforts are now being made
to revive and strengthen this indus
try. The Iowa legislature is asked
for an appropriation of $4,000 for a
modern, fireproof, thoroughly equip
ped dairy building at Ames and $685.
900 for the purchase Of additional
land for establishing a dairy and
poultry farm. The dairy farm will
be good investment as the local
milk supply near the college has been
absorbed by the boarding houses. 1t
will also strengthen the educational
work along these lines. Less has
been done for the dairy industry Of
Iowa at Ames than in any one of the
states surrounding Iowa, with one ex-
ception.
A bulletin from the dairy depart
ment of the Iowa State college is
now in the hands of the printer. This
bulletin gives the results of an inves-
tigation extending over a period of
about eighteen months. The oDserv-
ations for this work were begun by
Professor Mckay while on a trip
abroad inspecting the GARY work or
foreign countries in the summer of
1901. The moisture. content has been
found to be one of the chief factors
in butter-making, Strangely enough
butter that appears dry" often has
relatively high percentage of water,
and butter that is commonly rallo'
'watery' is frequently shown by
chemical analysis to contain low
percentage of water. 1t was first dis
covered that the Danish butter-mak-
ers who make the finest butter sold
on the London market were putting
more water into their butter than the
Americans and aSyehe ,S6ms time
making a Better butter mat would
command a higher price in the
worlds best markets. The secret of
this process has been discovered at
the Iowa dairy school at Ames, and
will be given to the butter-makers of
Iowa without cost. The process is
simple and may be applied in every
creamery and on every farm, where
butter is made, without the outlay of
single dollar The results of this
investigation will make it possible to
increase the value of the butter pro-
duct of the state by approximately
half million dollars annually and at
the same time give to the consumer
better article. The bulletin is free
and may be had on application to c..

ment Station, at Ames.

evening a finch party was due to
break out at our house, SO in order to
make room for another piece of
bric-a-brac that was expected down,
took the wheel out to the barn and
tied it up to large nail with an ola
throat latch. The next morning there
was mystery in our part Of town,
that, up till the time we go to press,
has not been solved.
The wheel was gone.

A friend of mine who had set of
beautiful new harness, that took the
nightmare and wandered away into
the green fields of wonderland not
long ago, has since that time secured
a $27 bull dog, at high salary, as a
sort of nocturnal floor walker for his
barn. The plan seems to be good
one. There hasn't been a nightmare
on the place since he came, and as
long as this friend does not put on a
clean collar or otherwise disguise
himself, before he goes down to the
barn, life will probably be one unin-
terrupted dream of safety. He is a
very sober, affectionate looking ami
NAL, and SO long as he does not be-
come attached to me in any way I
shall respect him.

DOUBLE ANNIVERSARY.
Rev. Frost Celebrates Birth and ordl-
nation Same Day.

Tuesday, March /, was the ami
yersary of the birth Of Rev. w. H.
Frost, of the st. James Episcopal
church of this city. 1t was also the
eighth anniversary of his accession
to the priesthood. His ordination
was celebrated March l, 1896, while
he was engaged in large mission
field covering a stretch of seventy
five miles along the Northwestern in
the neighborhood of Mapleton, where
his ordination took place. Bishop
Perry conducted the service and GER
emory of ordination, and the anniver-
sary has always been a day to be re-
membered in the life of the popular
rector. Rev, Frost was quite sue
cessful in his work before coming to
Oskaloosa and built fine church at
Mapleton.
Rev. Judd happened to discover the
date Of the anniversary, Tuesday and
in his service that evening took occa-
sion to mention the fact to the con-
gregation assembled. This was the
signal for general congratulation ex-
tended to Rev. Frost.

And here the critic stops. He never
in the world thinks OF suggesting
free shoes. If he did the boot and
shoe manufacturer would show him
out of his office. And so we might
go on through the entire list OF
schedules, and show now very easy
1t is to single out any of them, ac-
cording to the locality in which you
were seeking to promote discomfort,
and get a favorable hearing. The tar
III laws are not framed especially for
Minneapolis millers or New England
boot and shoe manufacturers, or for
any other special interest. They are
framed to promote the general pros
perity Of the American people. Their
avowed purpose is to give an advan-
tage in the American market to the
American manufacturer, the Ameri-
can artisan and the American farmer.
If the tariff laws were formed on any
other basis, it would satisfy nobody
but the special interests that had mo-
nopolized and it would 1mpoverish
the masses for the benefit of the very
few. Adequate protection for all
classes is the motto upon which the
Mckinley law and the Dingley law
were framed. Both brought uniform
prosperity throughout the country, to
all interests alike No person enjoy
ing the benefits of this beneficent
systetm can afford to pc selfish, in
viewing this tariff. A tariff law
framed to suit any one industry
would be monstrous in its injustice.
Such a tariff could never be enacted.
Yet demagogues who. attack the tar
LII, always seek to make it appear
that tariff law could be framed that
will exactly suit the man they are
talking to and they paint as many
pictures as there are interests and
localities. .-. ...

1t is estimated that both Japan
and Russia will spend from 100000
to 100000 a day while the present
war lasts, and the most optimistic es-
Inmates are that the war will run
through the summer months. Japan
has sold $5O,OO0,OO0 of bonds at home
and had offers for four times the
amount. Russia has thus far added
but $25,O00,000 to its war funds. But
within a few weeks demand will be
made by both countries for money,
and the interest rates of the world
will naturally go up.
