Little Points That Count.

A correspondent of the Sheffield Dali
ly Telegraph, writing from Johannes
burg, gives an interesting explanation
Of why the American ADJ eyed carpen-
ter's hammer has supplanted hammers
Of Sheffield make in the South African
market. The American hammer, he
says, has an enormous sale. and the
chief reason is because Of its steel COL
lar standing out from the hammer
head. In the Transvaal, owing to the
dryness Of the climate, wood shafts
shrink rapidly, and hammer heads are
soon loosened. The projecting collar of
the American hammer gives a longer
wedging space, and this simple advan-
tage has enabled it to distance all COM
petitors.

THE BEGGAR TRUST.
4 Scheme That For 4 Time Was 4
S0ccess In New York.

4 Scheme That For 4 Time was 4
Success In New York.
Several years ago one legged youth
named Kempton. who had left CON-
Portable home to engage deliberately in
begging, conceived the idea of organic
ing a community Of interest among
panhandlers in the Park row district, in
New York. He picked out strategic
spots throughout the city and selected
a man to beg in each. These men were
always particularly we'll adapted to
their posts-a blink (blind NAM here, a
crust thrower there, a MANNED youth
somewhere else. In order that the beg
gars might not be molested by the po-
lice lookout was appointed for each.
and in order that the syndicate's inter-
ests might be conserved Kempton en-
ployed roundsmen to observe how
faithfully the beggars attended to bust
ness and to collect hourly the earnings
Of each. In case Of arrest each men,
Der Of the band was assured Of legal
representation, to be paid for out OF
the earnings Of the pool.
The scheme thrlved for many months,
and at one time there were thirty men
In the combination, which became a
close corporation Of profit and power.
There Is no knowing to what extent
It might have expanded nor how intlu-
entail it might have become at last had
not the nature Of the organization
given it undue prominence and caused
It to fall directly under the ban Of the
mendicant squad. One by one the men,
bers were captured and sent to the is-
land. and in the end the gang was
broken up.-Theodore Waters in Every
body's Magazine.

fruit GROWERS MEET Il: /:
Organization for County Effected
and Canning Factory Project
Is Discussed.

About fifteen fruit growers OF the
county met at the Ronde Hall yester.
day afternoon and organized horti.
cultural society that promises to be.
come \ very active one in the not far
distant future. The meeting was the
result of call issued some time ago
by parties interested In securing such
an organization here.
P. Fl. Frye presided at the meeting
~ chairman and G. c. Selvig as sec.
rotary. An organization was effected
by the election of the following Off,
Gers: p. H. Frye, president: John
Ahlstrom OF Spicer, vice presiden';
c. c. Selvig, secretary, and Swan
Walgren OF Fahlun, treasurer. Com
mittees were appointed for each town
ship in the county, to work up the
membership, and q committee on by
laws and constitution was also ap-
pointed, all of whom will report at q
meeting to be held on Saturday, Feb.
Is, at one O'Clock p. M.
Considerab' g interest was manifes-
ted by those present and matters of
interested to fruit growers were
brought up and discussed.
A matter brought up at this meeting
Is OF great interest to farmers in
general, and that is the advisability
Of securing canning factory for
Willmsr. The discussion of the mat
ter resulted in the appointing Of q
committee composed of Messrs. G. c..
Selvig, A. H. Sperry and p. H. Frye,
who will present it before the Com
mercial Club of Willmar and q
strong fort will be made to secure
such IN institution. The project Is
one which should receive all possible
encouragement.

WHEAT

The market for Wheat has become
more Interesting again by reasons OF
Its wide fluctuations Not only is there
better tone to the market, but talk OF
poor demands for Wheat and Flour and
large receipts Of Wheat at primary
points has dlSappeared and attention
Is now being directed to the news that
carries with il uuMistakab!e evidence
That the shortage i'll the last crop was
not oEereSCmated. Foreign markets
also are advancing ana getting in line
with general opinion that the making
up OF the absence OF United States.
Canadian. Australian and possibly
further Russian shipments cannot be
accomplished without material rise
in prices.
Here at home we have a strong set
OF conditions that are coming in force
to govern prices. Dealers in Flour
have been prevented from accumulal-
Ing supplies by high prices. but they
must soon come in and replenish
stocks. Every advance has had back
OF 1t reference to Il scarcity of Wheat.
and until such time as these conditions
change it is going to be safe to follow
the buying side. We believe the mar
ket is gaining natural strength. and
would hold some Wheat for perma-
nent bull campaign when 1t appears
that country elevators are cleaned up
and the run of receipts practically over
for the year, as is the case At the pres-
ant time

Mir. Scott of Death Valley.

No one knows where in Death Val ley Scott's mines are located. He says they hold thirty-three billions in gold, which can be taken out inexpensively He disappears into the depths of the torrid valley, and when his train of mules and burTos return they bear mil lions in gold dust.
 All his mining operations have been prosperous and orderly, but the miner of Death Valley, crazed perhaps by the heat, has broken out in a new spot. He is crossing the continent in unpar- alleled fast trains, accompanied by nu- merous. jugs of whisky. He is headed for Wall street, where he proposes to outdo John w. Gates and all other bulls or bears, as they all alternately are
 but his confidence in himself Is simply unbounded. He asked Chicago to watch his smoke" when he hits Wall street. What he is about to do in mid summer in that locality does not ap- pear. If he is engaged in mere spend thrllting he should go to Newport or to Saratoga. If he wishes to create a genuine sensation, he should butt into a life insurance company. His pro- gramme is, however, unknown, and further developments must be awaited with whatever patience the reader can command Watch my smoke" he sail, as he left Chicago bound to New York, and that is all an anxious world knows.
 The Chicago newspapers say he is a 'fourfusher," who is endeayoring to eunload mining stocks. But Wall street has plenty of unloading to do on its own account, and Seotty will find he can not unload his stuff on professional sunioaders. He needs another market, and another programme, and, of course. another press agent.

Where Peace Will Be Made.

The Portsmouth navy yard is located on a small island, almost out at sea. whose only bridge connection is with Kittery, Maine. The truth is, the is- land itself is in Maine, rather than in New Hampshire-an island off the entrance of the Piscataqua river. Portsmouth town is in New Hamp- shire, but the peace conference is to be held on the island, and ferry boat plies between the island and Portsmouth town.
 It is an excellent place in which to keep at bay reporters and other unde- sirable persons. A marine can hold the bridge, and another can keep the gate at the ferry. No railroad enters the island-no trolley-no stage coach even, and chaffeurs are subject to in- vestigation on the ferry or at the Kit tery bridge.
 Portsmouth was founded in 1923, and the roadsted is ample alike in width and depth of water. Seventy feet of water is found in it, and in the harbor all the fleets of the world could ride at anchor, and every ship would in that case be in the Pine Tree state.
 Portsmouth reeks with American history, and from it sprang Thomas Bailey Aldrlch, James T. Fields and B. P. Shillaber, all of whom hold, liv- ing or dead bright places In American literature. The conferees will meet in the general store building of the navy yard, and they can work at their great task free from unseemly noises or disturbing influences.

will be greatly enhanced, and at the end of the century 1t Is possible that the fields in this country will be ex- hausted for all practical purposes. More fields may be discovered. but as none of importance have been located in the last fifty years none probably will be hereafter. The European fields will become exhausted prior to the American fields, and the world will then have to fall back on the Man churian deposits as the last resort. Russia hoped to control those fields, and through them the world, as Rome once did. but 1t is now plain China, or at any rate China and Japan will con- trol the vast deposits in Manchuria.
 It is scarcely probable that the ores in Red Mountain will be exhausted by the end of the century, for no one knows how deep the seam goes-not even Professor Shaler. But there is truth enough in Professor Shaler's statements to make plain the ultimate value of every available ton of ore in this district Every ton will have value in the earth long before this century is ended, and every available ton will be utilized in the long future.
 Professor Shaler thinks the substi- ute for iron in the next century will be aluminium, that universal metal. It exists in all clays, and when it can be extracted at low prices it will prove an acceptable substitute. Science is dealing now with the method of ex- tricating it from the clays found in all parts of the world. It is extracted freely now. but the cost of the pro cess is too high to bring the metal into general use. So we will go on using 400 pounds of iron head per year. and this will be the case until iron becomes high-priced also
