This argument would have some force
II protectionists argued that the mere
existence OF a protective tariff would
suffce to raise wages, apart from Its
effects In diversifying industries.
England has relatively high wages be-
cause she is still enjoying the results
Of five full centuries of protection to
home industry, in the possession OF
an abundance of manufactures. Ger.
many and France are still struggling
with the harm inflicted on their in
dustries by experiments In free trade,
and their wages will not reach even
the the English level until they at.
tain that varied industry which is the
drst condition Of general prosperity.
Even free traders admit that the
wages earned by German laborers are
very much higher than before Bis
marck followed our example in estab'
fishing a protective tariff.
We are also asked to infer from
this table that higher wages mean
lower cost OF production. instead OF a
proportionally higher cost, which Is
the assumption on which the whole
wages side of the tariff argument II

publishers employ Belgian printer,

It Is In The

Two hundred miles west, on

kee road, is q small territory

was a fine crop of Number One

We have shipped IN several
carloads of this choice wheat,
at great expense, and are
grinding same for our local
trade, being determined to
keep our VALLEY QUEEN
brand up to the highest stand

gives our -four a high quality
that is superior to any flour
that comes on this market.

WOmanss Life I'm japan.

Advocates of the physical equality of
women and men might find argument
to support their theory among the
Japanese. The girls and boys wrestle
on equal terms, and the women are
said to be as strong as the men-sup-
pie, bounding with the vim of life
and graceful in every line" The Japa-
nese women seek abundance of air,
drink pure water and go out in the sun
shine the first thing in the morning.
Consequently consumption is a rare
disease. Instead Of living in over
heated rooms they merely add extra
clothing to what they wear already.
Women always have some time for
recreation. Even the poorest woman
goes to the bath at night and later
on meets her friends. But all go to
rest early.

Of a good feeding quality, says Pro
lessor Mumford of the Missouri ex-
pertinent station. On the contrary, a
coarse bone, with long body, large
head and general appearance of coarse
ness, is always to be considered ar
undesirable characteristic. Cattle pos

Corn is a strong. healthy food and is
much appreciated by hard worked
horses, because it furnishes SO much
energy. In the southern part of the
corr belt horses live almost wholly up
on corn. Farther north, where oats
are the main crop, they subsist almost
entirely on the latter grain. A COM
bination of the two will usually prove
more economical and better than to
feed either so exclusively as is Gus
