A CANNING FACTORY.
An Industry that Ordway Must
Have.

In looking over the list Of new en-
terpri.cs which would benefit Urdway
and the farmers in our vicinity, none
appear 80 feasible and easily obtained
as a canning factory. Every season
piles Of fruit and vegetables in this
vicity practically go to waste. that
could be made profitable to the produ.
Ger were there a canning factory loca-
ted here.
We have fruit farms and plenty Of
frat class gardeners, and a fac,ory
would be well supplied with produce
to work upon.
At = citizens meeting held a few
weeks ago, the subject of a canning
factory was discussed, and we thought
steps would be taken at once to secure
one, but nOw the matter seems to have
been dropped.
We are entering upon 4 season that
indicates a record breaker in all kinds
of fruit and vegetables, aud as it in
not yet too late. We would suggest tina,
'nineoiste steps DC taken to have a
cannery here to handle this years
crop.
The advantages to be derived from
such an enterprise are almost too nu.
merous to mention. 1t will furnish
employ ment to quite = number of peo.
pie; 1t will afford ready and near
market for vegetables and ali kinds
OF fruit. 1t will bring money to our
town and save our merchants from
sending abroad for canned Rooas.
This is saying enough without men.
uoning the benefit 1t will be to ali
other business in town. Some one
should at once start the ball rolling
and We can soon have . canning fac.
tory.

WHERE CHALK WAS USEFUL.

Equal to the Occasion.


Equal to the Occasion.
Senator Depew had consented to
address a convention OF photogra-
pliers. when he rose he held up
piece Of white chalk.
DO any OF yon ever make use Of
this In your business" he asked.
There were affirmative cries from
different parts OF the table. i"' I.
What for?" said Senator Dcpew.
Then various uses for chalk in pro-
Biography were cited by various per
sons. The speaker nodded and said:
I'll tell you OF another use you
have not mentioned TO me. Perhaps
able to you. Perhaps It will only be
amusing.
AT any rate. II is vouched for by .
friend OF mine. an old friend. who is
bald. Ny old bald friend went to a
Georgia photographer during a re-
cent trip south and he said he wanted
his picture taken
The photographer put him In front
OF camera. got under dark cloth
and finally emerged again with a
piece OF white chalk In his hand.
With 4 smile slightly embarrassed
he made gesture toward my friend s
vast bald head.
Excuse me. SIR he said. but the

A Pat on the Aack.

You may talk about splendid investments
And OF stock paying big dividends;
OF surplus funds, bonds, cash and credit,
OF concerns that make more than they
spend;
But I'll tell YOU one which, for the outlay,
Will make them all take the back track,
Go to the man doing his duty
And give him a pat on the back.
OF course he's receiving a stipend,
But is that quite all he deserves?
Don't YOU think "You did well' would
be music
II il came from the man that he serves!
As to money, Of course he must have IT,
But why a good word should he lack
Say Good boy" for the effort he's max
ing,
And give him pat on the back.
Don't YOU think, in the case of an actor,
He'd retire from the boards for good
cause,
If we sat in our seats all like statues,
And denied him bit of applause
am sure that the man who is toiling
Day after day without slack
Would feel twice as well if you'd only
Just give him a pat on the back.
Have YOU nothing but reprimand for HIM
Is it always a grumble and a growl?
Does he see on yonr face when he meets
YOU
The same old Stereotyped scowl?
Let him know that YOU think he is better
Than simply beast with pack;
II is easy, and il costs not a penny,
Just give him a pat on the back.
Human hearts are the same the world
over,
And they need helpful words every day
You know not the courage you'd give
them
Ifyou'd say good word long the way
Turn a leaf now and try new system
As the sailor boys say, a new tack
When YOU have a man doing his duty,
Just give him a pat on the back.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Jan. g.
The subject of national forest policy
was taken up this morning by the
American Forest Congress and was
discussed from every point of view.
The officials Of the general land Of
flee, geological survey, and the bu-
reau of forestry led the discussion
and outlined at great length the pres
ent work and future plans of the fed
eral government in regard to forests
and their preservation.
The congress closed it's work this
afternoon with a session devoted to
the discussion of state forest policy.
State forest officials and agents Of
the bureau of forestry, who have
been extensively engaged in cooper
alive state forest work, treated the
subject in practical awy. AS a re-
suit of the discussions it is expected
looking to the protection and extern

The Isle of Pines

The disposition of the Isle of Pines is one of the i'm
portan questions that will before the after
the holiday By treaty with Spain this island
coded to the United States When government with
drew from Cuba the Cubans set up claim for it part
of agreement by Cuba to turn the ground FOL
naval stations This treaty has ye1 confirmed by
the senate.
The legal phase of the question is this Can the United
States ALLEVIATE of its territory by treaty Good lawyers
say it cannot To do requires the cooperation of the
house and the executive department 1t is claimed that
this the first attempt to thus transfer territory not only
doubtful in epidency but in law.
Meantime more than 700 American citizens have settled
the island and the majority Of the land They
igrated principally from Iowa. Illinois, Wisconsin and Ne
braska. These Americans went to the Isle Of Pines be-
of the treaty with Spain transferring the territory
to and the express invitation of the state depart
ment which solicited settlers for the territory. In
other words the asked these citizens to
this place under the protection of the flag and then per-
mtted foreign flag to be hoisted them. For two
years they have lived under the Cuban flag and paid taxes
to the Cuban government meanwhile vigorously protest
ing
The Americans in this predcament look to the senate
to defeat that part of the treaty which aenates them
They resent the attempt to sanction by law papabe
glec of their government Naturally they desire to live
under the stars and stripes and to hold title to their land
and pay taxes to this government Their protest against
expatrition has all the color of justice.
Some of the senator's it is understood hold other
for refusing join in the confirmation of the treaty
The island they point out is well adapted for military
station that would be enough to maintain law and
der in Cuba should it be necessary For it must be
bered that by the Plat amendment still have string
around Cuba It is also urged that there enough Amer
leans in the Isle of Pines to form model governmental

Aside from the mentioned there sentimen-
tai for holding this island Our people object to
giving up territory without good excuse We gave up
Cuba-legitimate spoil of expensive warto make good
solemn promise to the civilized world We made such
promise respecting the beautiful Isle of Pines The people
of the United States readily sympaize with their island
fellow citizens who object to being transferred to another
sovereign against their will
We should hold on to the Isle Of Pines
