MANUFACTURERS BLIND.
They Still Have Notion That Ship
Subsidy Will Help Trade.

Subsidy Will Help Trade.
That the manufacturers of the coun-
try are waking up to the necessity of
foreign markets for their products is
evident from the action recently taken
by the National Manufacturers asso-
citation in convention at New York and
the American Cotton Manufacturers
association at Richmond The manu-
facturers favor a decided reduction Of
we must import a few more goods II
we would largely increase our exports.
We can't sell without buying, and we
must have cheaper raw materials.
They have touched solid bottom here.
But In the matter Of ship subsidies
they seem to be foundering in the
quagmire of economic fallacy and SUI
perstition.
The New York convention went on
record as favoring the little subsidy"
scheme tackled on as an amendment Of
the postoffice appropriation bill. The
Idea was also given prominence by the
cotton manufacturers at Richmond.
Their president is quoted as saying,
f''It is idle to think of our getting a for
eign trade without having transporta-
ton facilities under our own flag"
The nonsense wrapped up in such a
statement may be partially appreciated
when we consider that In the year end
ing with June, 1907, we sent abroad
merchandise worth more than one and
one-half billion dollars, less than one
tenth of which was sent under our
own flag" The foreign bottoms would
cheerfully have carried more Of our
goods if we had given them the
chance at the lowest competitive rates.
The idea that a nation cannot get for
eign trade except under its own flag
is also absurd from theoretical stand
point. A trade involves two parties.
If it is carried on under the flag Of one
nation the other is trading no less than
the first The carrier may belong to
one nationality or to the other or to
neither, but trade may go on and be
profitable to both.
There are good reasons why we
should try to build up merchant ma
rine, but not because we cannot get
trade without it, and of all the meth
DDS suggested the subsidy Is the least
effective or defensible. 1t is fortunate
that the house has refused to stand for
this mail subvention scheme tackled
on by the senate as the entering wedge
for larger subsidy gifts In the future.

At the meeting of the Society For the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals some
extracts from school children's essays
were read "feed your horse with
horseradish and horse chestnuts If you
want your horse to grow" said one
child. Another wrote, IF you are very
kind indeed to your dog it may even
follow you to your grave" A little

they love their reindeer sometimes
more than their wives. But, then, they
are very useful to them."-London

TRANSMISSION Of Blood.

The earliest case of the TRANSMISSION
of blood from the veins of one person
to those of another on record SO far Us
we know Is that of Pope Innocent
VIII, who is said to have been sue
cessfully operated on in April, 1892.
In 1861 the operation was performed
both in France and England apparent
ly with success, but it again fell into
oblivion till 1924, when Dr.. Blundell in
his Researches" proved the feasibility
of the process. Since that time it has
been regarded rs a legitimate opera
tion.-New York American.

the methods used are intended to de-
velop in the students the ability to see
the intesesting and important elements
in the news of the day and to describe
them in clear, concise, and fluent Eng
lish. Early in the year all the mem
bers of the class are assigned to re-
port some event that is to take place
before the next recitation. These
stories are corrected by the in
stIuctor, and number of typical re-
ports are discussed in class as 30 their
merits and faults. Students soon
learn to write concise, readable re-
ports of a variety Of events. Later
they are given pratice in reporting
speeches, lectures, and addresses, and
in obtaining interviews.

II don't know

Some men seem to think it is
poor policy to go into a store
and not know exactly what
they want. We expect our
customers to rely upon us to
furnish them with the most
approved styles and the cor
rect pattern and fabrics.
If you are in need of either
a suit or an overcoat, or both,
and do not know exactly what
you want, come to us, and we
will show YOU not only what is
correct from the point of style
but will show you a correct
style which is becoming to
you. We do not expect every
man to know exactly what he
should wear, because that is
not his business. It is our
business to know exactly what
every man should wear and to
have it here when he wants it.
This is the store of advanc-
ed ideas. The man who
knows little or nothing about
values is the man who should
know the man he deals with.
We stand behind every gar
ment we sell. We offer you
the best of everything to wear
honest values-and money
back any time you find them
otherwise.

Shreveport May 15.-Seven people are known to be dead and many others Ere injured as the result of tornado which swept across northern Louisi. ana Wednesday afternoon at 6 o'clock The little town of Gallisa, twenty-five miles north of Shreveport, was de- stroyed and the town of Bolinger, on the east side of the river, in Bossier parish. was badly wrecked Four peo- pie were killed at Gillian and three at Bolinger. Il Is almost certain that other deaths occurred in the path of the storm. although no reports had been received up to late hour from the sections of the country visited. The dead at Gillian are said to be Mrs. J. T. Gardner and three negroes Arthur Vaughan is said to be badly injured. A relief train was sent to Gillian with a number of physicians, reaching there about midnight Moth ing has been heard from 1t. but 1t Is expected to return with the injured.
 At Bolinger the dead are Mrs. Mar. shall Davis and two negroes. Mrs Davis mother is reported to be dy. ing from injuries received Charles l. Sims and family of six are all report ed among the injured, and Mrs. E. Lincoln Is also hurt.
 relief train was made up at Lew isville. Ark, and was sent to Bolinger The injured were brought to this city
 It is reported that oil City, in this parish. was wiped out by the tornado, but this rumor Is probably untrue. The southbound passenger train on the Kansas City Southern railroad passed through Mooringport and oil City after the first windstorm, and while great damage is thought to have occurred involving the wrecking of great many oil derricks, it Is not be. lieved any loss of life resulted
 At is said that the work of destruc. tion at Gillian was complete, only two houses being left in the place Gillian had population of about 200. Only the most meager reports could be obtained from that place by long distance telephone from Belcher, which Is three miles south of Gillian It seems that the storm, after passing Gillian, travelled in northwestern direction. and crossing the river, struck Bolinger, which Is on the Cot, ton Belt railroad, about forty miles north of this city. No report has been received of its further progress. At Bolinger negro cabins were demolsh. ed and many of the residences of white people were lifted from their foundations. The Bolinger sawmil was badly wrecked
