Beer Shortage in Nev, York.

New York faces beer shortage
The brewers announced few weeks
ago that, beginning January l, the
price would be raised 81 barrel and
now It is announced that the output
Will be greatly curtailed and that
many men will be laid off. The
trouble Is shortage of barley.
The crop this year was more than
25,OOO,000 bushels short of that of
last year, and the price has almost
doubled. 1t rs not the price that is
worrying the brewers so much as it
is the inability TO obtain the grain at
any price Europe's shortage is Just
as marked. A few days ago buyer
came TO New York from a big Eng
lish brewery with instructions 10
purchase large quantity of barley,
but was forced TO return to England
without having purchased a bushel.
The shortage in the oats crop also
strikes the brewers hard for they en-
ploy great numbers of horses and
feed for them is an important item
OF expenses. 1t is said that the oats
crop this year is 200, 1000, 900 bushels
short of the 1906 crop. 1t is stared
that large proportion of the sa-
looms in New York owned by brew
ers will be closed.

State of Nevada Must Protect Her

The appeals 10 President Roose-

no steps whatever are being taken

Cannon's Boom cools Off.

The most marked development OF
the last few days in the presidential
race is the decrease of enthusiasm
for Uncle joe Cannon, which is
due to very simple reason. A short
time ago the Cannon boom looked as
big as all creation 1t had more up
roarious. irrepressible noise back OF
it than all the booms that ever came
down the pike AT the hotels, where
the congressman gathered, every
body talked Cannon, told what a
grand old statesman he is and pre-
dicted his nomination on the first bal
lot Furthermore, not one of them
tried to conceal his views from the
speaker
This happened while the speaker
was revolving the committee appoint
ments in his mind As soon as he
got the appointments "out of his sys-
tenn on paper, duly and authorita
lively announced so that he couldn't
take them back, the Cannon boom
coled off like base burner after all

War to Depose King Goes On.

The result of the present political
crisis at Lisbon, may not only deter

of public administration is. to pre-
vail in Portugal but whether the
whole monarchical rei shall not
give way to requisites form of

as is the influence they exercise at
present, believe that Franco, by ex-
posing the practices of the monarch
ist parties, has administered a blow
to the prestige of the king and the
monarchy from which it can never
recover
Franco was col fronted with the
back debts of the king, amounting
to 100000. The king had no means
of paying this obligation. Besides
It was recognized that as chief of
state most OF these debts had been
incurred in entertaining the country's
guests.

Awarded a Gold Medal.

The Studebaker company has. just
been notified by the Jamestown Ex-
position Jury of Awards. that its au-
tomobile exhibit at the jamestown
tricentennial exposition has been
awarded a gold medal and diploma.
Several years ago the Studebakers
took up the manufacture of electrics
and after making success of .he
electric, they passed on to gasoline
cars, and now that the probation per-
iod of the automobile has passed,
without relaxing their efforts in the
norse drawn field. they are pushing
wotor vehicles with the full energy
of their immense institution and its
enormous resources, their line cover
ing practically the entire range of the
self-propelled vehicle held-gasokne
pleasure, electric pleasure and COM
mercial cars.
Hayden Eames. general manager of
the Studebaker Automobile company,
says that the more he investigates
the desirability of motor vehicle de-
livery, as compared with horse de-
livery, the more firmly is he convinc-
ed OF the superiority of the former
method With reference TO COM
parison of the two systems, he says:
The only way TO arrive at fair
comparison between, motor vehicle
delivery and horse delivery is TO make
an absolutely complete statement of
what II costs ID do the work cur
rently with horses, including rent of
stable space, insurance, interest on in
vestments, and every part of hnan-
cial accounting Then, having obtain
ed thorough knowledge of precisely
what service is required, and what the
limitations of that service are, pro-
coed to draw up specifications for
corresponding power wagon installa-
ton, or organization. TO do the same
work. Having done this, prepare an
accurate ledger statement of the ex-
pected performance of this second in
stallation, and compare the two.
When the power wagons are properly
selected and applied it is an extreme
ly rare case when the advantage OF
the power wagon ledger sheet is not
overwhelming.

Fruit Show at Purdue.

Great interest is being shown by
the fruit growers of the state in the
announcement that the State Horti-
cultural Society is offering $500 in
cash for premiums for the Fruit
show to be held at Purdue Univer-
sity, during the week OF the Farm
ers' Short Course, Jan. 1918, 1908.
This money is being offered because
the Indiana Horticultural Society
feels that the resources of Indiana
as fruit state, and the possibilities
for making money in commercial
fruit growing are not understood as
they should be by the farmers of the
state. This exhibition will be of
especial value TO fruit growers from
the educational standpoint because
of the opportunity afforded by the
Short Course in Fruit Growing for
getting practical information con-
corning varieties, methods of orchard
management, insects. spraying and
spray mixtures. The fruit business
of Indiana is still in its infancy
Every fruit grower should plan to
attend the short course and make
an exhibit. The contest is open to
every farmer in the state.

Boy Prisoner an Artist.

Because he does not want to leave
incomplete several paintings on the
ceilings of the Chicago jail chapel,
Adolph Henry Hess, 10 years old,
will not accept his freedom from
Sheriff Strassheim. He will hardly
get his work done before Christmas
time.
Hess's mural decorations represent
Biblical scenes and persons of arti--
tic discernment pronounce them of
true artistic merit, even in their un-
finished state. When Hess began his
two months sentence for forgery
several OF the prisoners were at work
painting the interior of the prison
chapel. He asked permission to join
them in the work and it was not
long before he had his scenes all laid
out in colors.
Friday when told his time was up,
he dropped his brush and left the
jail. He had not gone bloch when
he turned back and Sheriff Strass-
helm again allowed him to become
an inmate of the Jail.
Hess received his first artistic
training in the Lutheran school At
terward he attended the art institute
and Smiths art academy, also study
ing under Hugh Stuart Campbell.

The Panama Canal.

Col. Goethals, the chief engineer
OF the Panama canal, says he has
100000 men at work and can geti
more when he needs them. AT this
time applicants are being turned
away
Not so long ago the labor problem
was looked on as the most difficult
to solve. 1t was taken for granted
that the death rate would be high
and that it would be hard to find re-
cruits. There was talk at one time
OF getting coolies to supplement the
supposedly inadequate supply OF
black and white labor
Now all fears on the labor score
have vanished. There are two reas-
ons for this The more important
one is the admirable sanitary work
which has been done on the isthmus.
That has inspired with confidence
thousands who could not otherwise
have been persuaded to seek employ
ment in the canal zone. In the next
place the government is paying high
wages.
Not only are men getting about
twice what they would if they were
working for a private concern IN the
United States, but all get medical aid
free, and each American gets free
quarters light, and fuel Everything
possible has been done TO promote
the health and comfort of the work
ers and keep them in good spirits.
These things are expensive, and
yet they have their economic side
They are a guaranty OF continuous
efficient working force If at any time
conditions were such as to induce
large bodies OF men to throw up then
jobs. it would be hard to replace
them While they were being replac
ed work would be suspended alto

eminent would be greater losel

Girls to Be Radiant at 100.

In lecture at Peabody Institute.

more. But only rich women can af-

about the statement he hooked puz-
