THE inspectors, working under the di-
rection of the state dairy and food COM
missioner, have it within their power to
render the state goou service. 1t is
their particular business to visit the
cheese factories and creameries, see that
they are in a sanitary condition and
make such recommendations as they
deem proper Granting that the sin
spector is practical creamery or cheese
factory man, he at once becomes an in
valuable assistant rather than mere
critic of the man whose place of bust
ness he visits. AS a business PROPOSE
ton every owner or manager Of cream
cry or cheese factory in the state ought
to be anxious to put the highest grade
of goods possible on the market, at the
lowest possible cost. To reach this end
his plant must be clean and sanitary in
every respect and the work should be
done economically. Here it where the
inspector is able to be of assistance and
his periodical visits should be welcomed.

Executing a Monster Elephant.


The Indian elephant named Fritz in
the geological gardens of Berlin was
Europe's largest animal until it finally
had to be killed for distemper DR..
Schilling was appointed hangman.
First he tried strangulation by means
IF ropes and pulleys, but the ropes
broke and the elephant remained in
tact Next he tried poisoning. The
animal was given fodder Of fresh ba-
nanas, which was devoured with a
relish. Then a few bananas We're
dipped in carbolic acid, but no amount
of coaxing could make Fritz "go" them.
Finally shooting was tried. The heav-
lest big game rife was procured and
q shot was fired into the left armpit
The elephant merely looked around in
surprise, the bullet having fattened
against the shoulder blade Then a
Maxim gun was pulled up. A fusillade
Of projectiles was pumped into the big
beast under the right armpit. The ele-
plant went down like a house. In it's
death struggle, which was studied by
many scientists, it broke all it's chains
and reduced part of the iron fence in
the paddock to scrap iron.

THE railroad statisticians have figured
that the grain traffic for this crop year
will aggregate 100000 carloads. If all
this grain could be hauled in a single
train of freight cars the train would be
1881 miles long, exclusive of the loco
motives that would be needed to move
it. Dividing this into trains of forty
cars each, there would be required 81, 800
loco motives, or 355 miles of draft ma
chinery. Adding this 355 miles to the
1881 miles of cars, there is total of
1926 miles. To hold the cars and en-
gines would require nearly every foot Of
four tracks extending from New York to
San Francisco. The necessary single
track would measure half the circumfer-
ence of the globe.

SPEAKING of the endless chain the Ell
dorado (Kan.) Republican says: Every
farmer boy wants to be school teacher,
every school teacher hopes to be an ed
itor, every editor would like to be a
banker, every banker would like to be a
trust magnate, and every trust magnate
hopes some day to own farm and have
chickens and COWS and pigs and horses
to look after. We end where we begin"
A good ending, but the chain is a trife
long. The wise farmers boy in the ma
jority of cases stays where he begins.

REPRESENTATIVES, of Norway and Swe-
den have reached an agreement upon
ment will be ratified by the two nations
and Norway will be independent. This
separation of Sweden and Norway in the
way it is occurring, means more to the
world than the advent of another indie
pendent flag. 1t has given an impetus
to the movement for world wide peace
which will be felt for many years to
come. The Scandinavian peoples have
given other nations an object lesson
which should never be forgotten. They
have shown the world way that is bet
ter than war; better even than inter-
national arbitration. They settled their
difficulties between themselves, by mu-
tual concessions and good will.

to raise enough funds to carry small

Of the typothetae guaranteeing the eight
hour day, under threat Of instant strike
By aiming to have a general strike of lob

NEW MONEY NEEDED
THE GOVERNMENT CANNOT
PRINT 1T RAPIDLY ENOUGH.

Charles H. Treat United States treasurer,
said today that much old money is coming
into the treasury for redemption, with a
request that new money be supplied in it's
place, especially money of small denomina-
tions. I'VE are having much difficulty in
keeping up with the demand for new
money" said Mr.. Treat, "and it is going
to be difficult to supply the demands when
the crop moving season begins in earnest
in the next few weeks. The bureau of en-
craving and printing has just about reach
ed the limit, and there is no question in the
world that as soon as possible the force
must be increased and new machinery pro-
vided for. The business of the country must
have what 1t wants in the way of currency
and when old money is sent in for redemp-
tion it Is not wise to delay getting out the
new money to take it's place.
THE national banks of the United States
are increasing their circulation at a re-
markable rate In the present month there
has been IN increase of over $I,O0U,OO0 and
in the last year, from August %, 1904, to
date, the increase has been $4,000, 600.
Many of the banks have to wait much
longer than prudent to obtain their circu-
lation. When a bank gets new charter
or conSOlidateS with another using a new
name, it is necessary to make new plates
and print new currency. There were re-
Gently 11S banks on the list waiting for new
currency.
This increased growth of the circulation
outstanding of national banks represents
the normal growth of the country. The
government is unable to increase the cur
rency in any way. Instead il is using up
money quite fast in meeting deficit. But
for the banks l do not know of any way
the natural growth of the country could be
financially provided for.

TWO LIKELY CANDIDATES.
Gossip Regarding House Appropria,
tions Committee ChairmanShip.

Information from authoritative con-
gressonal source is to the effect that the
two most likely candidates for the impor-
tant position of chairman of the House
committee on appropriations in the next
Congress are Representative Tawney of
Minnesota and Representative Littauer of
New York. Mr.. Tawney was not a mem
Der of the committee and Mr.. Littauer was
fifth on the committee in the last Congress.
1t is said that the fact that Mr.. Tawney
has not been member of the committee
does not weigh with Mr.. Cannon, who is
to have the appointing power. Indeed, two
other members-elect of the next House. who
were not on the old committee have been
talked about in connection with the appro-
priations craftsmanship, Mr.. Sibley of Penn
sylvania and Mr.. Burton of Ohio Mr.. Sib-
ley, it is said, does not care TO be bothered
with the irksome though responsible duties
of the. place, and would not have it if 1t
were offered him.. Mr. Burton is popularity
supposed to be out of favor with Mr.. Cam
non because of a rebellion he led against
the House managers in the last session.
Mr.. Tawney is the republican whip of the
House. while Mr.. Littauer is indorsed by
the New York delegation in the House. He
Is in close touch with the republican or
