QUAKE HURTS BROOM CORN
Great Quantities Burned in San Fran.
cisco Increases Existing
Shortage.

Nation, Ill.-The San Francisco
earthquake will have its effect on the
broom corn trade throughout the
country, as it was the distributing
point for broom corn, and broom sup
plies on the Pacific coast, and carried
extensive stocks. These were all To-
Gated in the district where the flames
first started, and the brush stored was
destroyed.
This loss would be felt at any time.
but more keenly now than at any
other time, because of the general
scarcity. A careful investigation of
the broom corn situation in the Illi-
nois district shows that fully half of
the stock held in the warehouses in
April has been disposed of and
shipped to the manufacturers, and it is
said that fully two-thirds of the bro
kers In Illinois are now out of brush.
That there is no brush in the farm
ers' hands that is for sale at present
prices is very evident, or the brokers
would fill their orders from the farm
ers' sheds rather than from the ware.
houses.
The idea that broom corn will be
worth seven cents pound, or $140
ton, within 30 days, is based upon
the opinions of those who know the
wants OF the manufacturers, and who
also know that some of the manufac.
turers have been misled to great ex-
tent by track buyers"
One day lately between so and 60
tons of brush were shipped out of
NATION, and. at this rate, it would
take less than ten days to clean up
every warehouse in the city.

He That WsIl. Can,

I must tell here of a woman who has
for long time tried to get my butter,
but whom was unable to supply. She
was bound to get it and adopted nov
el way for it. A regular customer, a
friend Of the woman above mentioned,
one day asked me to let her have two
pounds a week more than her usual
supply. could hardly spare 1t, but, as
she is such good customer, by scrimp-
Ing little at home for short time,
made out to give her the extra. A
few weeks later, on delivering the but
ter, she said: After this you might as
well take this extra over to Mrs. Knox,
for it is she l have been getting it for.
You know she tried for so long to get
it, and you could never spare it, and
we thought that If you tried hard you
could do it, And how those women

E. Hendrickson to the grand jury, one Of

It's Director, former Judge James E. Otis.
for the money that Expert A G. Harris
horn finds that Otis owes the county I'm
less Otis pays mp. When Otis was on the
stand in December last, he admitted that
he had no right to moneys for expenses on
committee work, and that he ought to pay
it back, and would il the expert would
send him a bill Of his oyercharges. The
bill was sent him, something over 500.
He then refused to pay it, though bis
counsel, Mr.. Carmichael, advised hin
publicly before the investigators, to do SO.
Now Justice Hendrickson in his charge
says that the money owed to the county
must be collected by the Board Of Free
holders, and shat if the Board does moi
take the necessary steps at once to collect
the moneys, they will be indicted for mis-
feasance, for plain neglect Of duty.
Is really looks as though she Board
couldn't we'll begin suits against othel
officials who owe moneys, sill it collects
from its own Director, and such Other
members as may owe the county money.

Two Ilninions Of The New Law

The general public up TO this time has
positively declined to enthuse over the
names mentioned in connection wish the
County Board Of Tax Equalization. The
board will be appointed this week by the
Governor upon the recommendation OF
leaders, who have shown but slight regard
for the fitness Of things.
Two of those nominated are in no sense
representative men. The naming of the
third will be equivalent to an insult to
thousands Of wide-awake Republicans.
Having just given up an important mu-
nicipal berth because it exacted too much
Of his time and attention, the proposal to
make the gentleman in question member
Of an even more important body, is dis
gushing and outrageous. There are hun
dreds of representative party men, any
one of whom would have been more &C
ceptable to taxpayers and the rank and file
Of the majority party. There is little in
ducement for Republicans to be straight
party men if a few particular pets Of the
leaders are to be standing candidates for all
the favors in sight.
It is not yet too late for the leaders to
avoid an irritating and inexcusable biunder.
[AtIantic City Union.
The passage OF the act for the county
boards for the equalization of taxation was
a political blunder There is nd need for
any such boards. Their creation simply
weakens the influence of the State Board.
Instead of an appeal from a local assessors
decision to the State Board, there must
now be two appeals. The cost to the APP
pelant is increased, and the character Of
the boards about to be appointed, If rumor
is true, is not such as to in any way dimin-
ish the EVIL effects Of the law.
The Unions complaint with reference to
the Atlantic county board is voiced In many
other counties. Apparently no attempt is
being made to secure tax experts for these
boards Of appeals. The only difficulty
seems to be who Of the political superan-
nuates are to be chosen. The number Of
pie hunters is far too vast for the counters
stock.
In the meantime, every county will have
to meet the additional expense which the
State has foisted upon them. without so
much as b single public prayer for the new
order Of things.
The Avis bill creating these county
boards had for its only apparent object a
desire to save she railroads from whatever
shardshiusu the Perkins bill might impose
upon them. The various states announced
add weight TO the allegations OF the laws
opponents. True American.
Why this kicking about this law Don't
ii afford living for sixty-three commits
sioners and twenty-one secretaries, and
isn't shat what government is for, TO pro-
vide living for the machine henchmen?

Directions For Pressing and Curing
by New York Expert.
Take cheese bandage to fit the hoop
and long enough to project one or two
inches at each end. Place a round
piece of cotton cloth at the bottom of
the hoop as temporary cap or cover;
then put in the bandage with the lower
edge turned In about an inch on top Of
the bottom cap and the upper edge
turned back over the top Of the hoop.
Fill in the curd, fold In the upper edge
Of the bandage. put on as a top cover
a piece Of cotton cloth similar TO the
one on the bottom and place In the
press. For pressing use one and one
half inch screw set in frame and
provided with means for turning, IL a
better press is not available. The rind
will not form, and the whole operation
will be failure, If sufficient pressure
is not applied.
After an hour take out of the press,
adjust and smooth the bandage, cover
ing the edges nicely, and put on cap
cloths of same material as the bandage,
with the cotton press cloths on the out
side OF these. Put the cheese back into
the hoop, with strong round wooden
follower" closely fitting inside the
hoop on top of the cheese and press
again until the following day. Then
take out the cheese, remove the press
cloths. but not the bandage and caps.
and place it for curing on shelf in
a room having an even temperature of
about so degrees f. It should be
cured in three or four weeks.
The foregoing instructions in cheese
making are credited to II. e. Cook. in
