Corporations are favored. Each can
borrow to the 10 per cent limit, although
headed by the same individual, as in the

Greiy within the law.
This Office had been fully informed
Of the Devlin loans. In this case, as in
others, where a long line OF loans TO

not reduce the loans. The comptroller
had done all that he could to correct

Secretary of the Navy Bonapartc's
signature is the subject of much specu-
iation among the different bureaus Of
the department.
Nothing like it has been seen for at
least four generations Of Secretaries, and
the speculation is as to how lcng 1t will
last in its present entirety
1t is large, distinct. carefully rounded
and every letter is made with care It
is what might be called handsome and
Secretary Bonaparte writes it with much
care. spelling the Charles out and
finishing with little flourish and a
carefully added period.
Not Like Others.
Secretary Longs signature used to look
like a rapid dash down Hill, Secretary
Moody's was an incoherent assemblage
of vertical and inclined lines, and Secre-
tary Mortons bold running hand showed
tendency to stretch out into straight
line before he finished his incumbency
Secretary Bonaparte has calmly ig-
nored suggestions that &C. J." would be
just as binding and would be less labor

signature is being formed to learning the

world has been growing more pros
porous at a fairly rapid rate dur
ing the last twenty years. The
per capita savings deposited in the
United States increased from $3.50
in 1881 to 1864 in 1891 and to
S34 SO in 1901. In Great Britain
increase per capita was from s11. so
in 1881 to $23.14 in 1901, q gain
of more than a hundred per cent
and a greater per capita gain than
that of the United States.
A surprising feature OF the figures
is the Russian showing. In 1881
the Russian per capita was only
about four cents. In 1901 it was
1927, or eighty one times as much.
If the politicians are correct in
their theory then we should regard
Russia as a model country. The
facts however, are against such a
theory. The increase in the Rus
sian savings deposits is not going
to cause any great rush of emf
grants to that land.
The German empire seems to be
about at a standstill. The per
capita Of $40, the greatest, by the
way, of any power, was maintained
throughout the twenty yeats Gov.
cred by the report. Little Dem
mark stood at the top Of the list in
1901 with a per capita of $76.31.
with New Zealand second with
s46.12. France increased her per
capita from $7.47 in 1881 to $22. 70
in 1901, which is not bad at ALL

Worth Remembering.

There are three different kinds
of ingredients used in making the
three different varieties of baking
powders on the market, viz:-OD
Mineral Acid, or Alum, (2) Bone
Acid or Phosphate, (3) Cream Of
tartar made from grapes. 1t is i'm
portant from the standpoint OF
health to know something about
these ingredients and which kind
is used in your baking powder.
Q) Mineral Acid, or Alum is
made from kind of clay. This is
mixed with diluted oil OF vitriol
and from this solution a product is
obtained which is alum. Alum is
cheap; costs about two cents q
pound, and baking powder made
with this Mineral Acid sells from
10 to coca pound.
(2) Bone Acid, or Phosphate,
is the basis Of phosphate baking
powders and the process is fully
described in the patents issued to q
large manufacturer OF phosphate
powder. The U. s. Patent Office
Reports gives full and exact de.
scription, but the following extract
is enough:
" Burned bones, after being ground
and put into freshly diluted oil of
vitriol and with continual stirring
and in the following proportion,
From this Bond Acid phosphate
baking powders are made; such
powders sell from 20 to 80 cents a
pound.
(3) Cream of Tartar exists in all
ripe grapes, and flows with the
juice from the press in the manu-
facture OF wine. After the wine is
drawn off the tartar is scraped from
the cask, boiled with water, and
crystals Of Cream of Tartar, white
and very pure, separate and are
collected. 1t differs in no respect
from the form in which it origi-
nally existed in the grape. Cream
Of Tartar, then, while the most ex-
pensiye, is the only ingredient that
should be used in a baking powder
to act upon the soda, as it's whole
someness is beyond question.
Cream Of tartar baking powders
sell at about 40 to 80 cents q
pound.
Such are the facts, and every
one careful of the health of the
family, should remember this rule:
Baking powders selling from 10 to
20 cents pound are made Of Min
eral Acids; and those from 40 to
30 cents Of Cream Of Tartar made
from grapes.

Nearly every city of the size of
Grangeville and many much small
er, have taken steps to organize a
base ball club for the coming season
While ball clubs are not often a
financial success within themselves
they bring much business to a
town and are of material benefit
both socially and financially.
There is no reason why Grange
vile should not be abreast OF the
times and have just as good ball
players as the neighboring towns.
Now is the time to take the mat
ter up and it should not be de-

Savings Deposits.

The British board of trade just
issued Blue Book which contains
some very interesting figures rela-
tive to the worlds savings accounts.
The politicians tell us that the
prosperity or lack of prosperity of
the common people is indicted by
the rise and fall in the savings
bank balances. 1t is not true
that all the money deposited in
savings bank is placed there by
people who toll with their hands,
but it is true that q considerable
proportion Of it is in small ac-
counts.

The Boy And The Farm.

ne BOY ana me farm.
During the year 1904 over a mil
ion bushels Of whe at were import
ed into the United States from
Canada, this in spite of the acres
and acres of excellent wheat lands
lying idle in the country. 1t has
been asserted that the young man
of today has no chance, that most
of the professional and a great
many Of the business positions are
now overcrowded, also that the
college bred man, being most in
demand, will eventually occupy
the only position worth having.
This may be true, and if it is, con-
stitutes the strongest argument
possible for the argiculturist.
If the United States buys a mill
lion bushels of wheat in one year
from Canada, there surely would
be a market for million bushels
produced in her own western states.
Yet the average young man, just
starting out in life, would hardly
accept as a gift forty acres Of
wheat land.
The trend Of the times seem to
be away from the country, the
majority Of mankind loves cities.
They would rather remain cooped
up in offices with scant salaries
and few pleasures than to work
with their bodily strength in clear
air and sunshine for their daily
bread. This is progressive age,
and it sesms that now, if ever,
hand and brain labor should be un-
tied.
Manual training schools are ac-
complishing this for the artisan,
but there still is much to be done
for the farmer.
A son is sent to college, and he
seldom returns to the farm. He
considers it narrow, uncongenial
field for his energies, while in real
ity, having received his schooling,
a taste for books and art and drama
he is better fitted than ever for
farming.
In our western states lies the op.
portunity for Vulnerable young
men. Scientific agriculturists have
analysed the soil of different loca-
tons, and have found the fruits,
vegetables and grains best adapted
to each. This knowledge is at the
disposal of any man who wishes it,
and when properly applied will
bring not only comfortable liveli-
hood, but health and happiness.
The modern farmer should be a
specialist, and if he manipulates
his labor properly he should not
feel compelled to keep his hand
eternally OF the plow.-St. Louis
Star.
