Local Elks Are Planning Big Min

Under Way.
The local Elks are planning big
minstrel show. The B. P. o. E. make
everything go which they attempt and
it goes without saying that there will
be things worth seeing when they get
together in costume on the night for
the show.
In 1895 they gave very successful
minstrel show and the one being plan
ned now will distance it, unless the
signs of the times fail Special stunts
will be done by the members talented
in repertee rank. All the talent will
be of the home variety and the entire

pokes which will be sprung.

How It Was Played at Ghent.

How 1T Was Played ut Ghent.
II At the close of the War of 1912,
John Quincy Adams and Henry Clay
were in Client as the American ENJOYS
to make peace with England. After
the terms Of peace had been agreed
( upon, the people of Client desired to
show their respect to the famous An
glo-Saxons gathered there and got UP
q big entertainment. They desired to
have their band play some American
air. In vain the band master sought
for some American patriotic air but
could not find it. In his despair he
went to Henry Clay and Mr.. Clay rec
commended Yankee Doodle but as the
Kentucky stateman could not whistle,
he, called in his old darkey- body serv-
ant, and the old man whistled yankee
Doodle and the band master caught

Europe and became known as the
American national song
Prof. SQuires recited most effect

whom the English so ignominiously
executed during the revolution.
The battle Of the Kegs, written by
Francis Hopkinson, a. Philadelphia

Twenty years later, when the Brit
ish soldiers were quartered on Boston
commons and the war clouds of the
revolution were lowering, their bands
used to play Yankee Doodle to annoy
the Americans. The ditty had been
set to music and used as reproach
and mockery. On April 10 as Lord
Percy marched out of Boston to teach
the Concord Yankees a lesson, his
bands were playing Yankee Doodle.
When they came back, the nature Of
the song had been changed, the Yam

stock by grading up, till now a very
large percentage of the stock and es-
pecially that used for dairy purposes
are either thOrOughbreds or high
grade of one or the other breeds
mentioned, but chiefly Jerseys. At
this time, however, high-grade and
thoroughbred cattle are to be found
in every section of the state, and the
industry is paying handsome profits
Oh the investment The business is
steadily increasing, yet the demand is
far greater than the supply, the dairy
men of the state not being able to
supply more than 10 per cent of the
quantity consumed.
Last year the milk disposed of to
consumers amounted to a little more
than 3,600,O00 gallons, valued at $780,
600, the butter produced the same
year amounted to nearly 100000 lbs
and sold at something over $4,000
This was the produce of $4,000 cows
of all grades, but really the product of
about 1000 cows of improved milk
stock. That there is an opening here
for many times the present dimensions
of this industry is easily seen, and
the facts as we have briefly given
them can be verified at any time.

Van Deman gives some particulars of
these experiments, in the Rural New
Yorker:
While it is true that the officials of
the Government at Washington are
working to develop varieties of the
orange that will prove to be harder
than all those that have been previous
ly grown in this or any other country,
and have already originated a few va
rieties of this character, there is an
other plant breeder who has been do

in flavor to any of the really choice
oranges, but l have eaten many that

those from the Mediterranean coun-
tries, that were no better, and in

an abundance of seed in this orange,
which is not desirable, and this is
true of many that we buy. Mr.. Nor

VALUE OF sUNLIT HOMES
Southern Exposure Gives Three Side.
the Benefit Of Direct Rays.

lUc DtHt,QD VI D1ECCG h8y6s
Sunlight is natures most health
giving scavenger. A house without
sunlight is unhealthy and unsafe for
human occupancy and it is necessary
not only to have some sunlight but to
have as much of it as possible. 1t is.
of course. not feasible to admit the
direct rays of the sun to every room
of a house; the typical plan Of . all
houses Is square or rectangular and
at least one side of the house is en-
tirely beyond the reach of the sun.
The other three sides. however, can
receive more or less direct sunlight
and the problem of the plan is thus
reduced to arranging the various
rooms SO that the amount of sunlight
is adjusted to their uses, and it must
be sunlight. for mere light itself is
not sufficient; the rays of the sun have
curative and cleansing properties that
nothing else has.
It is generally admitted that south
ern exposure Is the beet for all houses
and should be obtained whenever pos
sible. It is immaterial whether the
entrance be placed on this side or not

JAPANESE ARMY INTACT.
Still Holds Manchuria, Says General
Linievitch.

Tsarskoe Selo, March 8 - General
Linievitch's report regarding the future
of Russia in the Far East is pessim-
istic. He says the Japanese forces in
Manchuria are intact and liable to open
hostilites at any time. They argue
that many breaches Of faith on the part
of the Russians invalidate the peace
treaty and give them a right to make
additional demands.
The general says the disaffection in
the army is not serious, but the admin
istration is bad. He advises that the
Siberian railroad be turned over to a
private company, that the investigation
directed against military chiefs be
dropped, that soldiers be treated with
liberality, and that strong garrison
be maintained in Manchuria.
The car is said to have agreed with
the views expressed by Linievitch. All
the defeated generals will be given lu-
crative positions. In the Amur region
the Cossack land system will be intro
duced, and the land will be distributed
among the soldiers who RENAME in
military service. The immigration of
Russian peasants will be assisted with
ubsidies, and thus Manchuria will be
Russified.

AN ELEVATOR TRUST
United States Attorney Starts a
Suit in California.
ONLY THREE INDEPENDENT FIRMS
People West of Rocky Mountains Are
Charged Exorbitant Prices
by Bogus Bidding.

Washington, March s. = On advices
that Federal suit was filed in San Fran
cisco today against 81 elevator concerns,
including the Otis elevator company,
on the charge of violating the anti
trust law, Attorney General Moody
made the following statement tonight
"The United States attorney for the
! Northern district of California, under
instructions from the attorney general,
fled in the United States Circuit court
for the Ninth district bill of COM
plant against the Otis Elevator COM
pany and 81 other companies and three
individuals engaged in the elevator
business, charging them with violation
of the Sherman antitrust law. The
companies named as defendants COM
prise the principal elevator companies
of the United States, but the operations
specifically complained of have been
carried on mainly in California and the
states and territories west of the Rocky
mountains.
at is charged that these companies
make and sell at least 80 per cent of all
of the elevators used in that territory,
and that they have entered into COM
bination among themselves to control
and enhance the prices at which ele-
vators are sold; that, in order to make
the combination effective, the Otis Ele-
vator company has acquired the whole
or a majority interest in the businesses
of all the other defendants, although
said defendants are said to be operating
as apparently separate and independent
concerns; that, when an inquiry is re-
ceived from a customer by any of the
defendants, it is Immediately referred
to the Otis Elevator company, and, if
there is no outside competition, that
company designates the concern which
is to get the business, fixes an excessive
and exorbitant price to be charged and
directs the other companies to submit
bids, apparently in good faith, but
higher than the bid of the company
which has been designated to receive
the contract; if outside competition
does appear, one OF these subsidiary
companies is directed to take the con-
tract at loss, in order to freeze out
the competitors"
The bill also alleges that there are
only three elevator companies not in
the combination carrying on business
west of the Rocky mountains.
