 The girl at the corner looked worried She glanced up and down the street ex- pectantly She was evidently waiting for some one Two cars passed. The motor men turned off the power and applied the brakes. but the girl motioned them to go on. Just before the third car arrived an other girl darted out of a nearby flat building.
 Hello. Edna Hurry up, the ear is coming" screamed the girl on the corner.
 The young women had to struggle to secure a foothold on the rear platform. Tho conductor reached them after @ struggle through the early morning crowd.
 Fare, please. he said, addressing the girl who had stood on the corner. | She felt for her pocketbook-in her nun, her cloak, her shirtwaist. She could not find it.
 q must have left my purse at home-it is so embarrassing" she murmured.
 Her voice quavered and the men on the platform thrust their hands in their pockets for the necessary nickel.
 Why I've got the change right here," broke in Edna.
 The conductor took the proffered dime. Some of the passengers were indignant at the peculiar smile that played about his lips.
 One of the men On the rear platform asked the conductor why he had smiled at the predicament of the girl who had stood at the corner
 We call her the street car grafter," replied the conductor. T get her on my car three or four times week, and every time she rides with me she works tho same game"

Jap Graduate In Agriculture.
Writes of Dairy Industry
In Japan.

Sen Utsu-no-miya, a graduate of
the College of Agriculture of the
University of Wisconsin, has re-
Gently returned to America from
Sapporo, Japan, where he owns
dairy farm. Though it will cost
him SIPS for every cow which he ex-
ports to his native land, he was
willing to come across the ocean
for carload of pure-bred dairy
cattle, as it is impossible TO buy
pure stock in Japan. In an article
which he wrote for the current num-
Der of The Student Farmer" the
new student magazine, he tells of his
efforts in establishing dairy herds
on the island Of Hokkaido, in the ex-
IRENE northern part of the Japanese
empire. After graduating from the
University of Wisconsin Agricultur-
al College he went back to his ma
tive land penniless. He hired a sim
gle COW and an acre of land and paid
for them out of the first years pro-
ducts. From that one COW he has
developed his herd of 40 mich COWS
and 20 young stock, which yielded
him last year 10000 pounds of but
ter. AS butter sells at 40 cents per
r1o,1n5 oil Tho xyaor ~ Tanop opI
beef is II or Is cents, dressed
weight, in winter, he has been able
to buy himself fine SO acre farm a
half mile from the city of Sapporo,
where a population of $4,000 insures
him ready market for all his dairy
products. The Japanese govern
ment has recently laid a heavy i'm
port tax on all dairy products,
amounting to $3.50 per 100 pounds
for butter and $500 or $500 per 100
pounds for cheese. This high duty
adds great stimulus to the native
production, as the importation has
been much leSSened ana q demand
for the home product increased. Mr..
Utsu-no-miya has made pioneer
movement toward the introduction
of alfalfa into the Japanese islands
as fodder, sowing field last year
in which he secured a good stand.
In concluding his article he writes
that, in his opinion, American dali
ries need more sunshine in the sta
bles, more care regarding cleanli-
ness in milking, more attention to
stamping out tuberculosis, and a
larger number of pure bred sires in
the herds.

A Canning Factory Assured?

Well, that seems now to be up to
the farmers, the people who are sup
posed to be the benehciaries, to de-
termine. Will they come to the res
cue with the assurance of the acre
age demanded? That seems to be
the only really indeterminate ques-
ton. There seems to be no doubt
but that the required amount of To-
cal subscription to the stock can be
secured. We cannot believe the
farmers will permit this most favor
able opportunity to secure so desir-
able an enterprise to escape them.
If they should fail to give the en-
enlargement asked it would look as
if they were not sufficiently informed
as to the advantages canning fac
tory would give them. We do not see
that any possible loss could accrue
to them. The promoters who put
their money into the scheme, erect
and furnish the building, are the
only ones that run any risk. They
would lose in the event the concern
should be an Improbable venture.
The company, in proposing to build
here have assurance of success.
The Minneapolis Canning compa-
ny establishes factories only where
the soil is exceptionally favorable
for the business. The company in
vestigated the soils here and found
them to be the right stuff. Upon
this evidence the company offer to
put up and run factory if the far
mers will furnish the vegetables.
Many communities are soliciting the
company to locate factory in their
several localities. These factories
enhance the value of lands in the
localities where they are situated.
Some farmer will say the propos-
ed enterprise is scheme to make
money for the canning company.
But the company cannot make mon
ey unless the farmers do. The ben
efits must be mutual from necessity.
The farmers have the advantage.
The factory is dependent on them.
They are not dependent on the fac
tory. Consequently the Gamers, to
secure and maintain patronage, are
compelled to pay the farmers such
prices for vegetables as will give
them better returns for their labor
than that labor would otherwise
bring them. Farmers are as GER
tain of satisfactory returns in pat
ronizing the factory as they can be
from any line of work, while the
factory will give them an opportu
nifty for a greater variety of crops.
The factory wants $50 acres of
beans planted here. Mr.. Hughes
says the FARMERS VINO nave planted
beans for the factories have receiv-
ed all the way from $50 to $l20 an
acre for the product. Twenty or
thirty farmers could divide this
acreage among them SO that each
could readily care for his part.
The canning company offers the
following prices for such vegetables
as it can use this year: string beans,
IS cents to $500 per 100 lbs, kid
ney beans, $1.50, shelled beans,
$3.50, tomatoes, IS cents, beets, so
cents, spinach, rs cents per 100 lbs.
The following by the ton: pump
kins, $3.50, squash, $3.50.

There have been several laws pas
sed in this state with the object of
suppressing the smoking of cigar
cites by boys. All were more or
less ineffective. A bill before the
legislature with the object of sup
pressing the cigarette nuisance is
much more drastic than existing
laws. The bill passed the Assem-
bly, without a dissenting vote and
there is not much doubt but what it
will become a law. The bill forbids
any person under Is years OF age
from smoking cigarettes on the
streets or in any public place, i'm
posing a fine of $40 or imprison-
ment for thirty days for infringe
ment, and it also forbids anyone
owning or occupying premises to
permit such persons under sixteen
to smoke on his premises under a
penalty of a fine of SIS to $50.
