DID you know, Hocky,'' remarked
Mr.. David Gimbold to his partner. Mr..
Israel Hochheimer" did you know
that just previous to his death. Ros-
Wen T. Flower was planning a corner
in zinc?"
NO. did not know it," replied Mr..
Hochheimer, refiectively, gazing out
OF the window of their Wall street OF

On Mr.. Gimbold, that we might take
up the matter where Flower laid 1t
down. | have a notion that we might
corral the necessary funds simply by
modifying Mr.. Flowers methods. In
fact, l believe we could get the gov
eminent to help US.
Nearly all of our zinc comes from
Arkansas and Missouri. There is a
trust, but it is puny affair, down at
Joplin, with a paltry half-million at
stake. For peculiar condition ex-
lists Most of the land in the zinc
country is government land, subject
70 the homestead law. The govern
ment charges a fee of about $14 for
every 100 acres of land, but every APP
plicant must live five years on the
land before he gets his title. Now,
If we could get that government land
we would be able to control almost
half of the zinc output of the district.
And we could force the trust to buy
us out"
Very good" said Mr.. HochheimeT,
as Gimbold paused for breath. But
since no man can secure more than
100 acres, and since each applicant
must swear that he intends to estab
fish home, and is not taking the land
for purpose of speculation, how are
we to get around it?"

Ruling as to Automobiles.

The horse of a citizen of Green
vile county was frightened by an
automobile some months ego and
ran away, the driver sustaining
personal injury. The owner of tie
horse brought suit against the
owner of the automobile for DANA
ges, and was awarded verdict of
$3.50. The case was carried to the
supreme court Oh Nh appeal, ard
the latter tribunal sustained the
verdict of the lower court, laying
down the principle iu the decision
that the driver OF an automobile
Oh country road must use every
reasonable precaution against
frightening horses and mules. The
court has said that in cases of
danger the driver of al automo-
bile must not only stop his ma
chine, but cut off the motor.

National Government Should Aid.

National Government Should Aid.
An official in one of the depart
ments of the national government
recently made the statement that
twelve per cent of the deaths of
persons of all ages in America are
due to consumption, and that in
the vast majority of cases the in
fection Of tuberculosis is commu-
nicated to people through impure
milk. The accuracy of these state
ments we cannot affirm or deny
but the most casual observer can
see that this dread disease is be-
coming alarmingly prevalent. The
national government lends very
material aid in stamping out yell
low fever and other diseases, and
there seems to be no good reason
why the same efforts, or even
greater efforts, should not be put
forth to check the ravages of con-
sumption.

VIII Reach Santa Claus Pocket.
The very sharp advance in the
price of candies will cause old
man Santa Claus as we'll as the
eet-sixteeners" to feel the wave
of high prices that is sweeping
the country along all lines of mer-
chandise. The advance in fine can
dies ls said to be dus to the short
age and high cost of the eacao
bean, from which chocolate can
dies are made. The shortage has
been caused by large purchases Of
cacao beans by the government
for supplying the army and navy
with chocolate 10 drink.
