MEMORIAL PRESENTED
Starch Trust Wants Tariff

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S-The so
termed starch trust" was under fire
at the hearing on tariff revision today
before the house committee on ways
and means. The cross examination of
3. j. Walton, representing the Corn
Products refining company. which, it
was said monopolized the starch bust
ness, formed the most interesting in
cident at today hsearing on the tariff
schedule covering agricultural products
and provisions Citrus fruits also oc-
cupied considerable attention.
Walton admitted that his company
sells corn starch in the United King
dom at price 40 per cent less than
1t is sold in this country He also ad-
mitted that there was a loss in selling
corn starch in Great Britain.
Boutell of Illinois wanted to know
why Hill, member of the committee
from Connecticut, who Is interested in
the manufacture OF an article recurring
corn starch, could buy the starch in
Great Britain at 1925 hundred
pounds. pay the ocean freight of 10
cents and secure delivery of the article
at a saving OF 80 cents over the price
demanded in the home market.
The committee can understand WHY
you desire protective tariff" said
Gaines of West Virginia to the witness.
but we want to know why you should
have 1t. You are selling your products
in Great Britain, free trade country,
cheaper than here. but you want pro
lection here"
Why don't the American consumers
go to London to buy their corn starch? ?''
inquired Bonynge of Colorado.
To these and similar questions Wal
ton was evidently at loss to reply.
representative Serene Payne, chair
man OF the committee and a stand
patter," supplied the answer.
THE sales of your products have
been falling off in this country for
some time past" said Payne, and yo,
are selling at loss abroad in order to
get rid of your product"

Culinary Notes
About Desserts for the InvaIid-In
all desserts made of milk and eggs. as
in all other invalid dishes in which
tHeSe are the. cIlSI lHBTeQlentSs only
the freshest and best materials must
be used. as a sick persons taste Is apt
to be abnormally acute, and the
slightest suggestion of anything not
just right about his food will be
more quickly noticed by him and will
annoy him much more than would
probably be the case with a person in
health.
Desserts made with a gelatine basis
are attractive and appetizing, but have
a lrJa q
desserts made of milk and eggs unless
the latter enter into their compost
tion. Gelatine is an animal product
and therefore a nitrogenous food sub
stance, but when taken into the diges-
tive canal 1t is acted upon so quickly
and eliminated so rapidly that it can
not be depended upon for the rebuild
ing OF tissue as can meat, eggs and
other nitrogenous foods. But, being
easy of digestion, simple jellies made
with gelatine are often among the
first variations allowed from a liquid
diet, and are usually in high favor
with invalids.

LEMON GROWERS
SEEK HIGH TARIFF
Italian Product Declared by Cal
ifornia Fruit Raisers to
Menace Industry
Ways and Means Committee
Hears Arguments Against Re-
duction of Customs Duty
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1s.-The Cali
fornia fruit growers who appeared be-
fore the ways and means committee
today asked that the tariff on lemons
be Increased half cent a pound in or
der that they might successfully COM
pete against the Importation of Italian
lemons They would be satisfied they
said, If congress would maintain the
present tariff on oranges, but they in
sisted that a reduction of the tariff on
either of these fruits would prove dis
astrous
A. f. Call of Corona, Cal, repre-
sented the Citrus Protective league and
E. F. Woodward of Santa Rosa appeared
as chairman of the California commits
sion appointed by the governor.
The italian government, according to
Call, fosters trust the object Of which
is to dump its production of lemons into
the United States. AS a result Italy
supplies two-thirds of the entire con-
sumption of lemons in this country. and
for that reason the price is fixed by the
Italian importers.
CLARK ASKS QUESTIONS
Champ Clark, as usual, mixed in the
discussion frequently, but in Call he
caught a tartar.
when are you fellows going to
stand on your feet and have your trade
protection of the tariff" asked Clark
The trade will be self-sustaining,"
replied Call. when the democratic party
gets into power wipes out the pro-
tective tariff and laborer can be hired
for 25 cents day."
Call said that the Italian lemon trade
is so profitable that the CLYDE line
steamers carried the fruit from New
York to Jacksonville without charge in
order to beat out the American product.
j. c. Chase of Jacksonville. Fla, said
that the Florida orange growers are
being driven from the western market
by California, and are compelled to
meet the competition of Cuba in the
eastern market In many cases this
proved to be improbable because of
the increasing cost of production in
Florida. and the low price at which
the fruit can be produced in Cuba, Porto
Rico and Jamaica.
MEMORIAL PRESENTED
A memorial was presented by the
Italian chamber of commerce of New
York, which said that lemons were not
a luxury but a necessity and that IT
would be unwise to. restrict the auan-
tity and thereby the consumption by
further tariff discrimination against the
foreign product. a large quantity of
which was needed here
The yearbook of the department of
agriculture was quoted to show that
the price of lemons had steadily in
creased for five years past and that in
1907 California lemons sold for $3.50 to
$3.50. At these figures. the memorial
asserted, there was a profit to the pro-
ducer of $500 an acre.

CLEVELAND AND THE MONROE
DOCTRINE.

Mr.. Cleveland, first among any AM
erican presidents, made the Monroe
Doctrine, as it is called, a fact alive,
to be recognized as a fact, though not
officially, by the government of Great
Britain. Officially it mattertd littlt.
Actually, %factually, mattered much.
The long coquetry between American
administrations and British admins
trations had only comprised the play
full throwing of grass and disclaimers.
President Cleveland forced a recourse
to arbitration by Great Britain and
Venezuela, by which the power, the
right. and the recognition Of the I'm
tied States as a third party. in high
and equal interest we're regarded. The
territorial integrity and immunity OF
this continent were assured. The fact
of this Republic, as the predominant
partner among and over other Ameri.
can governments, was impressed, and
while not officially admitted has al
ways unofficially been admitted. From
that has flown the Pan-American al
lance, with all its complimentary,

lar consequences.-From "GrOvel

TO CHANGE SCHOOL LAWS

A legislative committee appointed
at the annual meeting OF county sup
erintendents of the state at RAPID
CITY last week will appear before the
legislature at Pierre next winter II
ask for a change in the school laws
to permit the incorporation or an
agricultural course in every rural
school in the state.
The plan as outlined at Rapid City
is twofold. A textbook on agriculture
is to be adopted and teachers must
pass an examination showing that they
have at least a r~udimentary under
standing of the business of farming
and allied industries.
Again. a series of contests in prac-
tical farming or industrial work is to
he arranged-one for each county; one
for a number of counties grouped TO-
gether in a district, and one between
the districts. The whole course OF
work i; to be supervised by the super
fntendent of public instruction and
his staff, thereby making it uniform
throughout the state, so far as the re-
sources of the different localities Will
permit.
The committee which formulated
this plan was appointed at Canton,
July 3, 1907, and is composed or Chas.
J, Anderson, Myrtle B. Farmer, Ger
aid f. Muller, p. F. Nolan and w.
NJ. NIair. Another suggestion OF the
committee is as follows.
I'VE would further Recommend that
steps be taken to- establish an a5ricul-
tural and industrial school in each
county in the state, and would sug-
gest that the county poor farm, which
is found in many counties, be used as
an experiment farm for that purpose
The committee On resolutions, com
posed of f. J.. Quigley, G. &. SchelI
niger. A. II. Seymour, Stella kahl, w
b. Wilson, Florence Glenn and c. G..
Lawrence, included in its report a
declaration that more men are needed
in the teaching force. The two Women
on the committee gave this as much
support as the male members. Better
wages and better preparations by the
teachers, is urged, and the scarcity of
teachers is explained by the short
term of school, difficulty in obtaining
good boarding places, low wages, the
fact that the teacher must also be the
ianitor and the poor equipment OF
country schools.
The average wages paid to teach.
ers in the rural schools Of South Dako.
ia is about $42. However, the incli
nation is steadily upward. Here in
Bookings county, fer example, there
are districts that are willing to pay
as much as $50 or even $50, if compe,
tent teachers can be obtained. Some
districts in other parts Of the state
are also offeping $50.
The closing paragraph of the Rapid
City resolution praises Superintendent
Ustrud in the following language:
We heartily commend the practi
cal, efficient and progressive admins
tration of our superintendent, II. A
Ustrud and we believe it is worthy
of the loyal support Of ALL"

we get the following account of his
death:
The North Side lost another of its
! pioneer citizens this last week in the
death of J.. Nj. Eddy of 261S Morgan
avenue north, who died at his home
last Saturday at the age of rs years.
The funeral was held at the residence
and interment was at Maple Grove,
where the deceased spent many years
of his life.
Mr.. Eddy was born at New Haven,
| Vermont, July Is, in 1880, and resided
on his fathers farm for the first
twenty-five years OF his life. During
this time he learned the blacksmith's
and mason's trades and became a
skilled laborer in both. In 1852 he
went to California where he re-
manned for four years, returning in
1856 to his home in Vermont. He
went to Minnesota in 1857 and settled
in Maple Grove, where he married
Miss Mary c. Evans.
He enlisted in Company d, Second
Minnesota Volunteer Cavalry and was
under arms for two years. His regi-
ment was not called to- the front but
remained at home to fight the In
dams. During this time he was I'm.
der General Sully. Besides being in
the ranks he served as company
blacksmith.
I'm 1869 he re-entered the employ OF
the government and had a commits
sion on the frontier in North Dakota
under Wilder and Merriam. Here he
vas fully as much in danger as in the
ann aS hn WaC nynOCn6 RI the ar
tack Of the Indians all the time.
"Mr. Eddy lived in Maple Grove OF
his farm until 1887, when he moved
to Minneapolis, where he resided un
til his death. At Maple Grove he
served the citizens as the first tow
clerk, and also as the first school su
p~erintendent of the district of which
Maple Grove is a part. He filled sew
eral other town Offices and his life
before the public was marked by his
public spiritedness and his timel.
and careful attention to- his duties.
MIR. Eddy besides being a territorial
settler will be remembered as thu
first man who used concrete for build
ing purposes. AS far back as the yea,
/. 1857 and 1853 he constructed build
! ings out of this material.
