JOHN BURROUGHS. THE CAT AND THE ROSE

This young man told a wonderful story
about the intelligence of oysters. He
said he way going to put the story in
his new book. Mr.. Burroughs gave a
dry laugh and said:
LET me tell you about cat. This
story is quite as authentic as the other
one. and it should do for your book

''The venerable student paused i'm
pressively, then said:
"A Springfield couple had cat that
age had rendered helpless, and they
put it out of its misery by means of
chloroform. They buried it in the gar
den, and planted rosebush over its
remains The next morning a familiar
scratching took them to the front door,
and there was the cat waiting to be
let in, with the rosebush under its

Reply to Dairy City Creamery Co.

Replying to the catalogue house
kind Of advertising and to the state
ments made in last weeks local pa
pers by the Dairy City Creamery
company, we haye to state that d
careful comparison failst to show us
wherein any Of our statements have
been refuted or any new phase put
on the points at issue. The Dairy
City Creamery company's reply is
an evasion pure and simple, and we
wish to reiterate that every state.
ment we make two weeks ago will
bear the fullest investigation. The
main controversy was that in spite
of the same boasts made by practi
cally the same Dairy City Creamery
company last year, based on sim
liar navy contract, that they would
pay more than other creameries
could they had not done SO last
year as record of prices for the year
would show. and that they were no
more likely to do 80 this year than
last. This part of our statement
they have entirely ignored, and they
know the record will show it to be
true, and we challange the COMPARE
son again. The price of milk per
100 pounds is the fairest test to
compare by because cream or fat
tests are easily manipulated and al
though you may be freely invited to
come to the test rooms and see your
tests made it avails you as little
proof as thesproof the old apple wo.
man offered Of the cost of her apples
when she said, IF you don't believe
they cost me 81 per barrel, boys,
I'll show you the barrel"
The cooperative funds are abso-
Iutely safe, they could pay oftener if
they chose and their backing is
quite considerable also. and not con-
fined to ,OOOcapitalization which
is often very largely exceeded by the
amount owed at the end of payment
periods.
They are gold medal winners and
makers of choice goods and the
Dairy City Creamery company has
yet to show that they can compare
in quality of output. We are doubt
ers on the question of quality and
call upon those who have been COM
PEELED to use their product to con-
firm the doubt.
AS to expenses. a careful COMPARE
son would seem all in favor Of the
CO operative creamery companies.
Look at the following long list of
probable Dairy City Creamery COM
pany's extra expenses. Interest on
investment, and dividends on stock;
a large profit to Swift & Company
for the navy and other contracts
these are people who likely take
large profits another profit tor the

Extracts from Roosevelt's Memorial
Day Speech.

In his Memorial Day address at
Indianapolis, President Roosevelt
served notice on the manipulators Of
rairoad stocks that he was not 60
ing to relax one iota in his demands
for railroad regulation; but on the
contrary, was going to ask for furth-
er legislation to enable the general
government to exercise much the
same supervision over railways do
ing an interstate business that the
government now exercises over
national banks. The following are
some Of the pungent paragraphs to
be found in the Presidents speech:
Property rights in less jeopardy
from socialist and anarchist than
from predatory wealth.
"The nation must stop crimes Of
cunning as well as crimes Of
violence.
There will be no halt by nation
to control and supervise business
use Of wealth.
Since the railroads carry the
mails whether their business is OIL
is not interstate, it is to the same ex-
tent subject to federal control.
Government control of railways
must be as complete as it is over
national banks.
1.-THE government aids the honest
railway man to the extent it pun
ishes the man whose only concern
with railroads is to manipulate their
stocks.
'The law should be revised SO
that railroads may be permitted to
enter into traffic agreements for the
public good.
"The policy Of the government
is irrevocably fixed that no railroad
company shall acquire. a parallel
line.
Every honestly managed railroad
! will profit by government control
"We ask the consent of no man
in carrying out the policy Of the
government.
"We will punish any criminal we
can convict, but prevention of crime
is the only motive.
No criminal, high or low, who
we can reach will receive immunity
THE government must jealousiy
guard the investor against inflat ed
railroad securities; but it must be
remembered that the great mass Of
our railroad securities rest on solid
foundation.
"The physical valuation OF all
railroad property should at once be
made the business of the govern
ment as means of administrative
supervision, not as a rate panacea.
What the government has done
Tor national banks by supervision
it will do for the railroads.

other one for Swift & Company, and
in odd;f;o,, a orno;e1 ohe,,:.t. ~

other one for swift q Company, and
in addition a special chemist; ex-.
ira cost of cans and boxes, and the
expensive machinery, and large
force Of help; large cost Of advertis-
ing by press and mail; expensive So
licitors employed and in many cases
high prices paid for the delivery of
cream and milk; rent Of creamery
plant and cream stations in various
parts of the county and state, extra
freight, and to this long string of
expenses which the cooperative
creameries don't have on their list
at all, you must now add the largest
one of all, and that is the damage
to quality of cream from the long
haul and exposure in transit and
carelessness of many of the disinter-
ested deliverers for the company.
All of this and much more is entire
ly in excess of what our local cream
cries have to pay and must foot up
a total that is appalling. We state
that their output only equals about
three ofour cooperative creameries
instead of ten, that they run several
engines instead of one-one at least
for only l,40O pounds Of milk. sew
eral superintendents, and indeed
quite an army Of other help.
As to the cost of ice-farmers say
that isn't bothering them much
nowadays and they are blaming
this wintry spring to the Dairy
City Creamery company's plant.
Our ice costs very little, much
less than by refrigerating process.
Hence you see that extra cost to the
Dairy City Creamery must be fully
5 cents per pound for butter fat.
Don't lose sight Of the fact tina,
4 they won't pay any more for milk
than competition compels, therefore
keep your local whole milk plants.
Witness prices at Winthrop as re.
ported by Mcfarland. They have
three cream buyers but no COMPETE
| ton from whole milk creameries-
the Dairy City Creamery company's
price reported from there is from 4
to Z cents per pound less than they
paid on same dates in this locality
This difference is made BY the com
petition Of your whole milk cream
cries, and we ask you not to be shor
sighted enough to permit them t.
be closed by catalogue house state
ments or Standard Oil methods
Take no ones boasts for facts. Their,
, is last years record, we refer you t,
it. We will make another one thi
year of the same kind, ofprices pait
and not of promises.

Governor cummins Candidate for the
Senate.

Governor Cummins is candidate
for Senator Allison's seat in the
United States Senate. The an
nouncement was definitely made
last week, and the newspapers are
generously commenting upon the
probable outcome of the struggle.
Much of course will depend upon
Senator Allison's health. He may
be unable to become a candidate for
reelection, but if he is able and en-
ters the lists as candidate, the fact
that he has not raised his voice in
years past against the gigantic
crimes Of cunning committed by
predatory wealth will not necessarily
defeat him at the primaries.
For the past twenty years or more
the trusts and tariff leagues have
had undisputed control of the re-
publican party. They have fur
nished most Of the money necessary
to purchase elections and have re-
paid themselves a thousand fold for
their political investments. The
fact that President Roosevelt has
done much during the past few
months to make that brand IF pol
itics odious does not give the mem
bers Of Mr.. Allison's party much
chance to censure him for his silence
-erailure to attack the wrongs
sanctioned and approved by them.
Had Senator Allison opposed the ex-
plotting Of the public by the agents
Of predatory wealth, his opposition
might have cost him his seat in the
Senate years ago. While this would
not justify Mr.. Allison in the course
which he has pursued, it furnishes
such extenuation that his past record
will not defeat his reelection if ht
comes out squarely for the right al
the present time.
Il Mr.. Allison gets into line fol
tariff revision and for federal contro
of all corporations engaged in inter
state commerce, and is able t. go be
fore the people and make even hal
as many speeches as Mr.. Cummin,
he will probably defeat Mr.. Cum
minis Ind 60 back to Washington
with increased prestige and in
Auence.
On the other hand if Mr.. Allison
attempts to justify his past RECORD
Of inaction, and elects to stand will

lican party, Mr.. Cummins will easily
defeat him before the big Iowa jury
