The story is told by an inspector Of
milk in one Of the large cities OF the
country that he condemned a lot Of
cream and notified the shipper to that

Don't be In hurry to sell OF the
old horses thinking that the young
ones are ready to step In and take
the brunt Of the work. Many farmers
make the mistake Of selling OF early
in the fall the older horses which are
right on the binder and mower, and
In consequence are thin In flesh, with
hair bleached. But no man can get
full value for his horses in such con-
dition. They should be given a chance
to recuperate. II Is true that grain is
high Just now and that II costs money
to put flesh on horse. but the differ
ence In price is not all contained di.
rectly in the increase OF weight. Given
a chance to rest up a bit a hard
worked horse will regain his color, and
his spirit and his full measure Of hoof,
as well as meat. These are all worth
money to the buyer. Some one is go
Ing to put the horses in proper condi-
ton for sale. Farmers can do this
cheaper than feeders who have expen-
siye plants to keep up and must bug

TIMELY WARNING.
Handed Out to Statesmen by Presi-
dent Samuel Gompers

Chicago, April 30.-Organized labor
will make it's influence felt in the COM
ing presidential election to an extent
that will make statesmen 'sit up and
take notice." according to Samuel
Gompers. president Of the American
Federation of Labor. who passed
through the city last night on his way
to Wisconsin.
The leader Of the labor movement
was optimistic, as usual, but he set his
teeth when congress was mentioned
and declared that if the measures
urged by labor do not become laws at
this session those responsible will have
to answer in the fall election.
Mr.. Gompers said he had been ad-
vised by the legislative committee that
the Wilson bill amending the Sherman
antitrust law would be introduced In
the senate today by Senator William
Alden Smith of Michigan.
The determined stand which the labor
unions took against wage reductions
has saved the country from an indus
trial stagnation in the opinion of Mr..
Gompers.

Rockefeller Subscribes 5000 Month
to Choir FunU.

New York April 3O.-When John
D. Rockefeller heard that through
lack of funds it had become necessary
to dispense with a chorus of twelve
voices which had been part of the
choir of the Fifth Avenue Baptist
church, he at once contributed 5000.
the smallest amount of money he had
ever given to the church. This con-
tribution was as much as was needed,
and was a very welcome gift
An appropriation of 5000 a month
for a chorus of twelve voices was
made several months ago. and on last
Sunday Charles D. Spencer, one of the
trustees of the church, announced that
as the appropriation had been ex-
hausted the chorus would have to be
eliminated. Harry Rowe Shelley, the
organist, then took up the matter with
Mr. Rockefeller Members of the
choir said last night that they appre-
ciated Mr.. Rockefeller's promptness in
offering the 5000 a month as much as
they did some of his contributions of
much greater magnitude.

HUGHES IN TO STAY.
Will Not Quit the Race Until a Can

New York, April 3O.-The name Of
Governor Charles E. Hughes will not
be withdrawn from the presidential
canvass until the national convention
at Chicago has made it's ch oice of can
didates. This statement was made to-
day by General Stewart L. Woodford,
president of the Hughes League Of the
United States, who presided at con-
ference Of delegates elected to the ma
tiona1 convention from New York state
at the Hotel Astor today, called in the
interest of Governor Hughes candi-
dacy.
1t had been reported that the an
nouncement Of the withdrawal of the
governors name as a candidate for
the presidency might be announced at
today's conference, but this was posi-
lively denied by General Woodford.
who said:
"Any statement from any source
that Governor Hughes name will be
withdrawn from the presidential can
vass is absolutely without foundation.
He has never sought the presidency.
There is no living man whose support
he has asked. He consented to the
use of his name and his name is at
the service of our party until the con-
vention has made it's decision. If
nominated he will do his best to se-
cure the victory of our party in No
vember. If not nominated he will
have no regrets and will remain as
always a loyal Republican He is to-
day far more interested in securing
needed legislation in New York than
he is in any possible candidacy for any

John Norris Continues His Testimony
Before Mann's Committee.

Washington, April 30-Individual
newspaper publishers were present to-
day before the house special commit
tee, which is investigating the prices
OF news print paper, to give testimony
in the case. Before they were heard,
however, John Norris, of New oYrk,
representing the Newspaper Publish
ers' association, was permitted to con-
tinue his presentation of facts, which
was begun Saturday last. In response
to request by Chairman Mann, Mr.
Norris laid before the committee var
ious circular letters, which had. been
issued at different times by the associ-
alton on the subject of the price of
newspaper, copies of which had been
mailed to President Roosevelt and
others.
Mr.. Mann put into the record letters
received by him from the International
Brotherhood of Pulp Sup1hite and Pa
per Mill Workers and Director North
of the census bureau, and also tele-
garms from Davis S. Cowles, president
of the American Paper and Pulp as
sociation, asking the opportunity to be
heard. Both Mr.. North and Mr.. Cowles
stated they desired to deny certain
statements made by the Publishers as
Sociation.
DO you claim as a matetr of fact
Mr. Mann asked, that the statement
in Mr.. Riders letter, March 4, 1908, to
President Roosevelt, in which he said
that there was practically a combina-
tion to put an additional burden of so
and publishing interests of the country,
is true?"
Yes, SIR" the witness replied, and
answering a further question said that
the news print paper represented the
great bulk of the paper made.
