NEW SOURCE OF RUBBER.
Mexican Vines So Full OF u The,
Stretch Without Breaking

Mexican Vines So Full OF II rhe,
Stretch Without Breaking.
The owner Of large cacao planta-
ton In the northeastern part Of CHA
pas says he has discovered rubber
vine on bis property that excels all
others. The discovery was made by
Chinese laborers working for him.
The Chinese gathered vines which
grow In dense. tangled mass and
wove thean into rude hammocks. The
hammocks were especially elastic on
account of the large amount OF rubber
In them, and this was particularly so If
the vines were dried some time.
The attention of the owner Of the
hacienda was naturally called to the
peculiar properties of the strange vine
Upon investigation. according to the re-
ports. 1t was found to carry a high per-
centage Of rubber. 1t amounts to about
20 or 25 per cent OF the weight Of the
vine and Is so strong that on breaking
the wood the rubber still holds.
In other rubber, plants. as far as Is
known, there are so much resin and es-
sential oil In the rubber that 1t Is not
elastic at all until extracted and treat
ed. 1t is more like viscous sap. as
that of the fig tree.
In the new vine, however, there ap
pears to be total absence OF essential
oil and resin. 1t Is not so certain a
fact however, that this property will
add to the facility OF extraction. 1t
may make 1t more difficult.
If 1t shall be found that 1t Is possible
to separate this new rubber from the
plant in any economical manner the
discoverer believes that 1t will greatly
affect the industry. There are vast
tangles Of the vine, and the percentage
Of rubber is higher than in any other
known plant.-Modern Mexico.

Federation Of Our Warehouses.

The following was taken from the
editorial columns of the Greenville,
Is. o. Daily News issue of Sunday,
November 18th, 1906:
"There is an impending compre-
hensive change in the system of
handling, warehousing and market
ing cotton. The new situation will
be one where cotton will be dealt in
by guaranteed certificates standing
for the cotton, instead of dealings
in the cotton itself. This naturally
involves certificate which stands
for every point connected with cot
ton, with its quantity, its quality, its
safe storage and its protection
against fire.
"The United States government
handles gold in this way. 1t makes
a safe storage for the gold itself and
puts out gold certificate, which is
more convenient; for the people.
Wheat is handled in this way. II is
graded properly, stored and certif-
Gates are put out to represent the
wheat. Pig iron is handled in this
way. All these certificates are
brought to some standard and may
be handled on the stock and COM
mercial exchanges of the country.
BY this means better and more sta
pie markets are obtained. -.Tremen-
dous economics are accomplished by
saving the handling of the bulky
article itself.
"Railway properties and large
manufacturing properties are really
brought to be represented by stocks
and bonds, which are simply certifi-
Gates representing "a portion of the
properly, and this brings the prop
crty to better commercial values,
because its certificates may be han
died by the mills and on the ex-
changes. Cotton is probably the one
agricultural and commercial product
which has not been brought into
system by which the man in Bremen
or in Manchester may buy up his
supply and leave it in storage in the
productive region until he wants it
shipped out.
"The agitation upon the subject of
cotton warehouses is not without
foundation and is going to lead to
consequences which will be advan-
tageous to the whole South. 1t
transpires that it is not so much
warehouses which are needed, as
some comprehensive system for grad
ing the cotton, guaranteeing the
grades and weights and issuing a
certificate on cotton in any ware
house, which certificate will become
commercial commodity in the open
markets Heretofore, warehouses
have issued certificates which repre-
sent nothing in particular but
package. There is no way of deal
ing in certificates which don't come
down to exact specifications and
generally there are local values for
certificates which stand upon the
credit of single warehouse.

Breaking Down the Barriers.

When you get the news that one
of your neighbors has been robbed
you want to hear his tale about the
facts as to how it was done. But
when we all know that the cotton
producers of the South have been
and are still being robbed of their
honest and just profits in their bust
ness, many of our people had rather
take the word and the dollars from
the robber than to hear the facts of
the robbery from the ones who have
been robbed. In the memorable
fight by Messrs. Hayne and Brown,
of New Orleans, upon the bull side
of the speculation side of the cotton
market, pointed out to the South in
unmistakable language the hand
writing upon the wall as to what
was in store for foreign cotton bears,
why the South has not been getting
its share of the profits in cotton,
Mr.. Iaddon, the Atlanta banker,
before the ST. Louis convention, said
there are score of reasons, but each
one OF these reasons only goes to
make up a new argument why this
condition should be changed in the
future.
We may consider that there are
but two propositions to solve to
make it possible for the Southern
cotton growers in the hereafter to
appropriate to themselves profits
that have been given up to other
people.
One of these is to create large
capital-as proposed by the South
ern Cotton Association-for the pur-
pose of taking care of the weak cot
ton which means to bull the market.
While the other plan-as pro-
posed by the farmers Union-is to
open up direc. channel of trade
between producers and spinners of
cotton. When proper confidence in
the mutual benefits to each-the
producers and spinners-have once
been well established there is no
question about the practicability of
making the producers cotton stand
for the basis of currency without the
necessity of piling up great piles of
money to move cotton with when
the world knows that cotton itself
can be made better basis of circu-
lation than gold for the simple rea-
son that cotton has a world wide
recognized intrinsic value, when gold
has nothing but measure of value.
Prompted by the signal success of
having won out in three rounds in
the tussle of setting prices and get
ting them, the Farmers Union now
proposes to go the open road to
market their cotton. In other
words, we can open up short cut
roads and dodge all the toll gates or
barriers stationed along the present
cotton highway, where he that tolls
not has spun the tremendous profits
out of the producers hands.

ing going on these days in the Farm.

strictly business, and therefore secret,
ono would almost wish to throw
them to the 'unredeemed' outside
just to see them gasp. When man

losing his money on his own bet.

Something on n Tray and the Ty-
rnnny of Food.

SohNthAhS VII ~ lruy hhu the ~
rnnny of Food.
When men suppose that dinner goes
on whether they are at home or not
they labor under a curious misconcep-
ton. Arthur Pendenys, writing about
this melancholy fact, declares: Some
one once said that an ordinary wom-
ans favorite dinner is an egg in n
drawing room. All women have Il pas
sion for something on a tray. To the
masculine mind things on a tray are
unsatisfying, but to the feminine body
they embody the very mamma from
heaven" 1t is easy to understand that
Arthur Pendenys or any other mas
culine mind" might have trouble in
colnprehending the why and where
fore of this debilitated taste, but no
woman would be at a loss to explain
it. 1t comes from the fatigue which
woman suffers as the result of her CO.

that she is incapable of composing an

tort is that she might have done some
thing of the kind if the men had not
been hungry so frequently and so in
~sistently. TO be the nourisher of the

digious that it is a marvel that the
mere evaporation of being chained to
the larder has not made fiends or lu-
natics out of women, and from squaw
to countess their sufferings in this re-

DOGS OF ALASKA.

lines do become dangerous. All
this is understoOd-in fact, carefully
studied and watched by the Alaskan
and those qualities which manifest
themselves in fidelity and g%entleness
are encouraged by kind treatment,
while the wolish side of their nature
is quickly and effectually subdued by
numerous whippings. These animals
have not yet learned to express them
selves by barking, and the only noise
they can make is a dismal howl. 1t
is Il rare occurrence for them to bite
a human being, but they will fight
among themselves on the slightest
provocation, and 1t is not IN uncom-
mon sight for half a dozen "huskies'
to hold a pitched battle on the main
street of Fairbanks. A bucket of cold
water will generally put them to
flight, but in the majority of cases the
miners pay no attention to the melee
and allow the dogs to fight it out.
The wolf nature manifests itself in
their thieving propensities, and all
food must be cached out of their
reach. A hungry "huskie' will open
a box of canned beef with ease by
biting through the tin. He will lie
before the door of a tent or cabin, pre-
tending to be asleep, when in reality
he Is waiting for a chance to ransack
the kitchen. One day | saw n miners
