cultivatine Arbitration Sentiment.

All the countries represented in the
Pan-American congress at Rio de ia
metro will send delegates to The
Hague conference who will be pledged
TO use their best efforts for the adop-
Stion of a general arbitration conven-
ton for the nations which are to be
at the Dutch capital. The idea is
right. Arbitration as a substitute for
war may be long way ahead of us,
but the agitation Of the question will
do good, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. 1t is we'll for the great
nations occasionally to cry out peace,
peace, even If there is no peace. The
peacemakers have not brought Ten
nyson's parliament of man and fede-
ration of the world, but they are d.
minishing some Of the horrors of war,
and they are likely to make war less
frequent. Peace conferences at Rio,
The Hague and other places ought to
be encouraged The United States,
which has taken the lead among the ma
tons in peacemaking of a practical
sort, always stands ready to give aid
and comfort to the cause of interna.
tiona, amity.

Iitiqation Cost Most.

The so-called Gibson drain contro-
versy among Tuscola, Bay and Sagi-
nav counties, which has been in the
courts for nearly a generation and has
been appealed to the supreme court
seven times in various forms of litiga-
ton, has been settled at conference
resulting in an amicable agreement
among three counties.
The drain will be built jointly by
Blumfield township, Saginaw county;
Merrick township, Bay county, and
Denmark township, Tuscola county, at
an expenditure of $4,000. The law
suits, it is estimated, have cost more
than the expense of building the drain.
The drain will be one of the largest
and most valuable in this part Of
Michigan, opening up large tracts to
cultivation and will, it is said, now be
pushed to completion.

Conquered the "White Plague.

Six months in the open air has saved
the life of Herbert Jossllyn, tubercu-
losis patient, who has been cared for
by the poor department. He has just
been discharged by the city physician,
who pronounced him absolutely free
from the disease.
Jossllyn weighed but 100 pounds
when the poor departments attention
was called to his case He was so
weak and the disease had such hold
on him, that 1t seemed question of
but a few days at most when death
would claim him.
He was taken TO st. Mary's hospital
and there placed in cot on the porch.
He grew stronger and in two weeks
was taken to rude open shack just
outside the city limits People living
in the vicinity, fearing contamination,
forced the city authorities TO move
him. Another place in the country
was found, and there he grew still
stronger. He took much exercise and
spent day and night in the open air
He now weighs 140 pounds.

Bird Breeding Preserves.

To protect the birds is the object Of
among the most notable results are
those achieved in the preserve in
Louisiana. During the last year II
bird breeding islands in the Gulf of
Mexico were leased by the national
committee, and the success of their
plans is encouraging, reports the Mil
waukee Sentinel. Two wardens act
ing under the direction of the ma.
tional committee of the Audubon so.
cieties guarded the islands, and pre-
vented, to the best Of their ability,
trespassing, the killing of birds. and
the destruction of their eggs. Ac-
cording to the report, by these sim
pie preventive measures, there were
Matched and raised all of 10000 birds
composed of the following species:
Common terms, forsters, royal terms,
laughing gulls and black swimmers.
There is a practical problem involved
In the preservation of the birds as
they are part of the economic sys-
tenn of nature. They destroy pests,
they are excellent scavengers, and
they add to the beauty of the world.
The work of the Audubon society is
an excellent one, and the results
achieved by the practical demonstra-
ton of it's methods, show what 1t
stands for, is not fad, but that it
is accomplishing some of the real
work of the world.

Mrs. Harmon w. Bens, of Bay City,
is In a dilemma. She has just been
notified of legacy left her by rela-

can Society of Equity, for the purpose
OF deciding upon minimum price Tor

stated objects of the society as to Tx
ing the farmers selling price of other
products. 1t is not believed the action
will be In violation of the antitrust
laws, or that 1t will necessarily be an
action in restraint of trade. The So
ciety has been referred to as the
farmers trust"
An official publication Of the society,
setting forth its practices in price
making, Is as follows:
Below are the prices decided on by
the American Society of Equity. They
are the minimum prices, below which
farmers should not sell. They are all
based on some central market, and the
farm price will be enough less to equal
freight and legitimate profit to the
handlers. Farmers should control the
marketing SO as to keep the market
hungry and the demand seeking the
supply, when they can make their own
prices-control marketing SO your
crops go off the farms over the period
of year instead Of in few months.
The world must have your products at
your price If 1t cannot get them at
prices made by some other people.

ALSO WISCONSIN CENTRAL
PERSISTENT RUMORS COMING
FROM HIGH RAILROAD OFF,
GALS LEND cREDENcE TO THE
LIKELY STORY.

Although President Bradford Of the
C. G. & l.. and the Wisconsin Central
railroad, has denied time and time
again that his election to the presi-
dency of the Wisconsin Central would
have nothing to do with the combina-
ton of the two roads it is generally
conce ded among the high railroad Off
cials of the country, that such a move
on the part of the officials of the two
roads will be the final outcome. They
even go farther to predict that the
Illinois, Iowa & Minnesota railroad
and the SO called Walsh roads the
Southern Indiana and the Chicago
Southern will become a part of the
new system as planned.
1t is known fact that the directors
of the Wisconsin Central are largely
interested in the c. G.. & L., as they
are also the other roads that are NAM
ed for the new syndicate. All the roads
by building a few short connections
can be brought together and COM
plete system would be formed, which
would be a powerful one. The roads
standing separately have never been
of any great strength but the combina-
tion would be effective. 1t is rumored
that President Bradford will be asked
to assume the presidency of the en-
tire new system.
