anything else. very determined effort was

Ban on polished Rice"

The government has put ban pol
ished rice in ordering that it shall be
properly labeled and in prohibiting the use
Of paraffine In this connection. The polish
ing of rice greatly improves its appearance,
and. therefore, selling qualities. and OF
recent years the process has been followed
quite extensively. An effort has been mads
to justify the operation by the statement
that the quality OF the rice was improved
and it was in this manner protected from
the attacks of weevils and similar insects.
This is emphatically denied by the govern
ment's investigators. Glucose. starch and
tale are permitted for the polishing, but all
polished rice must be labeled such and
the label must also contain the Information
as to what material was used in the pol
ishng.

KING DIPLOMATIC
IN SENDING KAISER
VISIT INVITATION

LONDON, July 13.-The British editors
who visited Germany were the only per-
sons who felt sure that the feasting and
speechmaking to which they joyfuily
submitted were a sort Of prelude TO some
event of international importance in the
near future The event is the accept
ance by the Kaiser OF King Edward 8
Invitation to pay him a visit at Windsor
Castle IN November
As a matter of fact the visit was all
arranged very nicely before the British
editors left London, but 1t was kept a
tremendous secret at court. The King
has again shown his wonderful tact and
diplomacy. He waited until the London
papers began TO say nice things about
Germany. and then he allowed the Sc
cret to leak out.
The Kaiser. who viii be accompanied
by the Kaiserin. will so arrange his
state visit as to pass through London
the day before the Kings real birth
day. November 9. which they will spend
at windsor. Somewhere about the end
Of October the Kaiser may be expected
to do or say something which will in
sure him a fairly hearty reception in
London.

Drove Lincoln as a Boy,
Thought Him Best of Men,
Aged Western Man Says

my father used to own a livery barn
at Urbana, IN Champaign county W
w. Davis was judge OF that judicial
district and Leonard SWEET was States
attorney. He and Judge Davis were
great friends Of Lincoln. and when Mr..
Lincoln was elected President he ap-
pointed Judge Davis Judge Of the Su-
preme Court OF the United States at the
very first opportunity.
Often Drove Lincoln.
II was considered a kid by those men
when / first became acquainted with
them. Lincoln had partners in those
counties. and when they would get cases
of Importance Lincoln would come over
from Springfield 20 help them, and, OF
course. he was at Urbana, Nation, and
Danville every term OF court Father
had a double-seated carriage that cost
$500. and a fine team Of bob-tailed sorrel
horses. I used 10 take the rig and drive
Judge Davis. Mr.. Lincoln. and Leonard
Sweet from Urbana 10 Nation and Dan
Vile, and go after them when they got
ready TO come back. They used, TO de-
pend on the carriage and the kid. but
they called me the boy. That was before
they had learned to cali young people
kids.
Lincoln was a great talker. and they
used to have lively times on these trips.
I have often thought that I never saw
one Of the party take a drink. Men in
clined to drink would certainly have had
something along. on such trips. The very
fact that they did not have anything
along mas convinced me that neither one
of them ever took a drink"

Horrifed by Question.

The old auctioneer seemed to be hor-
rified with the question. He wondered
that anybody should ask such a ques-
ton. HIS chin dropped and he spread
out his hands palm upward like one IN
the presence Of what he considered some
great sacrilege, and said: ''Oh, he was
the very best man 1 ever saw, and he
was as courageous as he was good In
his treatment Of men he was a prince,
and his every action forced the convtc-
ton that he thought the man with an
apron cutting stone or the man with
overalls carrying brick as good as the
President OF the United States. He was
great by nature and the assumed great
ness of small men failed to impress him.
