HARVESTER TRUST
Preparing to Build Plant in Germany
to Avoid Duties.

Chicago, June 14.-A cablegram to
the Daily News from Berlin says:
-On account Of the uncertainty with
regard to the fate of the reciprocity
treaty, the International Harvester Co.
'of7 Chicago is figuring on building
works in Germany in order that its
rich trade with the fatherland may not
suffer from the effects of the kaiser's
new tariff. This project is the first i'm
portant indication of what 1t is believed
will become general policy on the
part of the American manufacturers
should the American senate remain OBJ
durate to the reciprocity question. The
Carborundum Co. of Niagara Falls,
whose trade with Germany has been
wiped out by the new tariff, is also
preparing to build here.
United States officials in Berlin. who
are constantly informing the govern
ment of the dangers threatening Amer
lea commerce, point out the heavy loss
in wages to American workingmen
which will result from wholesale imi-
tation of the harvester trusts example.

APPARENT LuLL IN

negotiations, and the diplomatic world
is on the anxious seat as result.
While the news from Paris is of the
most optimistic character. there is a
disposition In Vienna and Berlin, as
well as In London, TO fear that the
earlier reports have been too bright,
and that there may yet arise a hitch
that will prevent the proposed meeting
between the representatives Of the bel
ligerents. The situation in Manchuria
is developing rapidly, and unless a

ENDLESS CHAIN
Promoters Of Mckinley Memorial
Fund. Solicit Subscriptions
by Letter.

The Columbus Journal says: End
less chain letters have been received
by Mrs. Alfred Kelley, Mrs. Edward
Orton, Jr.. and Mrs. Herbert Backus,
280 East State street, soliciting contri-
buttons to the Mckinley memorial fund
The letters were numbered to nearly
200, showing that the chain has been
rapidly growing. Bach letter requested
the recipient to contribute 10 cents to
the fund, to be mailed to Judge Will
lam r. Day of Canton. In addition, the
recipients were to write letter to
three persons, one In the city and two
outside, submitting to them the same
proposition as received.
These conditions were complied with.
A little figuring will quickly illustrate
the possibilities of the plan should
each recipient of such letter meet all
of the requirements.
Judge Day is quoted as saying In be-
half of the memorial trustees. that
while they had not approved the end
less chain scheme, they would not re-
fuse to accept the money raised that
way.

New York, June 14.-The executive
committee of the Equitable Life AS

pose of reorganization, but other than
adding the name of Paul Morton. the
new chairman of the board of direc

the opinion that it would be useless to
attempt to make any changes in the
personnel of the committee until State
Superintendent of Insurace Hendricks
had made public his report of his inves-
legations
Paul Morton was seen after the meet
irg and said: Beyond adding my
name to the executive committee, moth

Another meeting will be held on Fri

THE BEST
What an {
Painter
Says OF the Canton Paint & varnish
company's STANDARD" Lead-A
Flattering Testimonial.

When an expert and reliable painter
makes the positive assertion that he
produced brighter and better job of
painting with a single coat of a certain
paint than he ever before secured with
half again as much of any other kind,
that statement amounts to something
ard must carry conviction with it..
This declaration was, however. made
to Morning News reporter yesterday
by Mr.. Geo. A. Gresser, the sign paint
er in referring to gratifying results
obtained by the use of the Canton
Paint and Yarnish Co.'S White Lead,
known as the standard" used in the
painting of large and attractive new
sign on the Walnut street side of the
Morning News building. 1t should be
understood that the results were OBJ
tained under most unfavorable condi-
tions, namely, a background of black
and dirt stained bricks. No more try
ing place could have been selected to
test the efficacy of any paint, yet, with
al, the white letters used among the
seven shades embodied in this sign
show out as pure and clean as the
driven snow. With such results OBJ
tainable on this kind of background,
it is, of course, logical to expect far
better results on frame building that
has been previously painted.
There are two conclusions to be
drawn from the facts mentioned in the
foregoing. One is the superior quality
of the STANDARD" White Lead made by
the Canton Paint and Varnish Co., the
other the item of economy with spe-
cial reference to covering capacity on
surfaces Of whatever condition through
the use of this company's product.
The Canton Paint and Varnish Co. is
one of the latest and most promising
acquisitions to Canton's manufacturing
industries. 1t is located at No. $50 South
Rex street and is managed by Mr.. W.
]. Steele, a practical paint manufac-
turer, with years Of experience in this
line.

WILD WEST AND

EXCITING FEATs OF HoRsEMAN-

Thousands Witnessed gthe Perform
anoes Of Scores Of Rough Rid
ers and Smooth Ones.

It wasn't circus. The parade would
indicate that, and when one entered the
tents the sense of smell would confirm
the opinion. 1t was different. So was
the performance. Several thousand
people yesterday saw all kinds of horse
back riding by all kinds of riders. They
saw horses fall down and play dead.
and horses stand up and hump them
selves and look very much alive. There
were red Indians In war paint and
feathers. and the other kind Of In
dians, who performed weird dances un-
til the unregenerate yelled, More!
More!"
Cowboys and Cossacks. Mexicans and
plainsmen. made great gashes in the
atmosphere with blank cartridges, and
little woman with long hair broke
ever so many balls with rifle and was
much applauded. There was a stage
robbery massacre and lynching bee,
and while lot of excitement. besides
red lemonade, toy balloons. candy and
chewing gum And for only 10 cents
extra the crowd had chance to see
the greatest vaudeville show on earth
positively different from any other
ever giyen-see the big-footed man,
with feet three feet long-or was it
three feet, all long?-never mind
which-secure your seats now-last
chance-only 10 cents-feet three feet
long-fans only cents-souvenir
stick-pins, buttons and flowers. Great
show, wasn't It? But 1t wasn't a cir
Gus. It was the Wild West and the
Far East-a trifie too wild in some
spots and too far east in others; but
the spectators applauded and pretended
that they liked 1t.
The airship has just gone up. It looks
like cross between a yellow toy bal
loon and the circumference of a
bleached bologna. There was great ap-
plause. The question of hot-air navi-
cation has been settled.

BUYS RUSSIAN OIL.
Standard Crying "Overproduction''
Without just Cause.

Chanute, Kan, May 22.-It would
be amusing, if it were not SO exasper-
ating, to the Kansas oil producers to
witness the efforts of the officials of
the Standard Oil company to convince
the people of the United States, con-
sumers as well as producers, that the
oil supply of America IS so great that
it is absolutely necessary for it to re-
duce the price of crude oil to the pres
ent figure, which is so low that it will
not pay well expenses.
While the Standard Oil company
has reduced crude oil from $1.38 a
barrel the price for IS to 80 degree
oil is months ago, to 81 a
barrel for 80 degree oil, at the present
time. it has reduced the price of re-
fined only from II Il cents gallon Tor
Kerosene to 8 cents gallon, a reduc-
ton of g per cent while the reduc-
ton from $1.3S to 81 cents, or $l.Ol
per barrel, is a total reduction IN the
Drfce of crude oil of more than ) per
cent. In this connection attention is
also called to the fact that the Stand
ard Oil company now refuses to take
oil below 80 degrees at any price, yet
16 months ago it gladly took oil as
low as % degrees gravity and PAID as
IN spite of these facts, during l904
there was bought by authenticated
agents OF the Standard Oil company

about five gallons, thus making about
