ALASKA NOT FOR AUTOS
AMERICAN AUTO IN PARIS RACE
FINDS SNOW IMPASSABLE.
Machines Will Be Shipped from Seattle,
Wash, 20 Vladivostok, and Con-
test Will Continue.

NEW YORK. April IA change of
programme i'll the New York to Paris au-
tomobile race is likely to occur accord
ing to advices received here. The
American car, which was far in the lead,
has found the snow fields of Alaska inn
passable, and is therefore returning from
Valdez to Seattle. The French and ItaI-
ian machines also were on their way to
Seattle by steamer from San Fran
cisco only a few days ago, hundreds of
miles behind the American car
The possibility OF change in plans
was foreseen some time ago by the di-
rectors of the long race when the cars
were so greatly delayed by the exception
al weather conditions, and two weeks
ago an agreement was made that the
leading cars shall go as far as possible
over the original route and then sail
from Seattle for Vladivostok and thence
proceed by land across Siberia and Eu-
rope.
The German is at Ogden, Utah. in a
disabled condition. Several days viii be
required to make necessary repairs be-
fore it can continue the journey towards
San Francisco.

Don't Fold Your Arms.

By folding your arms you pull the
shoulders forward, fiatten the chest and
impair deep breathing. Folding the
arms across the chest so fattens 1t
down that 1t requires q conscious effort
to keep the chest in what should be It's
natural position. AS soon as you for
get yourself down drops the chest
We cannot see ourselves as others
see US. If we could many Of us would
be ashamed Of our shapes. The posi-
ton you hold ycIT body In most Of the
time soon becomes its natural position.
Continuously folding your arms across
the chest will develop a fat chest and Il
rounded back.
Here are four other hints which
should be made habits: Keep the back
of the neck close 70 the back of the
collar at all possible times. Always
carry the chest farther to the front
than any other part of the anterior
body. Draw the abdomen in and I'D a

exacting Of all farm labor, and that
much Of it must be done IN the most
inclement season.
The producers had nothing to say as
to the price. The trust made its offer
and it was a case Of take 1t or leave it
alone. The farmers were rapidly being
reduced from an independent and pros
porous condition to one Of almost servi-
tude and with actual want staring
them in the face.
Finally the dark tobacco growers Or
gained as the Planters Protective AS
ISOLATION and pooled their tobacco.
They held out for two years before sell
ing q pound. Then the raw material
in the market became exhausted and
the trust was forced to come and buy
at the pool price Of 9 cents instead Of
It's own price Of 3 cents. These organ
lied producers and the American To
bacco Company are now working IN
der a fairly harmonious agreement and
have been for two years.
With this splendid example Of the
power Of union before them the OF.
pressed and individually helpless farm
ors Of the great white hurley district
IL November, 1906, organized as the
Kentucky Union of the Society Of
Equity. Each member agreed to pool
his crop with the others and to sell
only through the officers Of the organi-
zation. Warehouses were purchased or
erected in various places. The pooled
tobacco was either brought to these
warehouses or stored in the producers
barns. At Winchester samples of all
pooled tobacco were kept and the EQui-
ty farmers demanded that the pur-
chaser, instead of going to the farmers
or having the farmers come to him,
should purchase by sample Of the Equi-
~ officer. At the beginning the Equity
people, when the Trust price was or
61a cents, made out price list which
would make the average price on all
grades Of an average crop Is cents,
some higher and some lower
Of course, by no means all Of the
growers came into the pool. Many re-
fused and continued to sell to the trust
at the best prices obtainable. But,
owing to the pooled and stored tobacco
making scarcity in the market, the
trust was forced to raise its price from
to 1917 cents and ID cents. This was
highly satisfactory to the non-EUuity
growers. They were loud in their
praises Of the organization which had
Increased the prices, but they neverthe-
less preferred to take advantage of the

MY LAMP.
By Rev. Robert Brewir

By Rev. Robert Brewin.
Text.-''Thy Word is a lamp unto my
feet and a light unto my path. Psalm
cxix, 105.
In the text the Word of God is com
pared to a lamp or lantern such as
that which is carried on dark nights
in country places in all lands where
fixed lights are not found "Thy Word
is a lamp unto my feet, and light
unto my path"
It shows us the way itself, as we
travel on step by step through the
lonely darkness. If an enemy had
placed rough stone in our way to
make us stumble, the lamp shows US
tie obstruction, and we can both avoid
it and remove it. If the way is very
narrow, and a deep ditch is on either
side Of it. the lamp will show US all
this and help US to keep the path. II
the spring flowers and the yellowing
autumn leaves border the way that is
set tefCre US, our friendly companion
will light up their beauty for us, and
thus speed US on our way. And if, at
some meeting of the ways, we might in
the darkness have turned in the wrong
direction, this lamp will show us the
true path, whispering kindly to us;
''This is the way. walk in it; when ye
turn to the right hand or when We turn
to the left"
Once, many years ago, on a very
dark night in winter when I was driv-
ing home from the country. and the
horse had more than once wandered,
I called at a house-doOr to inquire the
way. The stranger not only directed
ne. but pressed upon me a lighted Ian
tern. at is very dark" he said, land
[ have twice been in the ditch tonight
myself. for want of a light" I &C
cepted his kindness, but alas. long be
fore I reached home the light went
out and left me again in the gloom. But
the Word Of God is a lamp that will
light US all the way to heaven, where
we shall need it no more. Sometimes
in the American baCkwOOds a lighted
torch of pitch-pine is carried by the
wayfarers instead Of q lantern. One
night a gentleman who had been hold
ing service among some working people
at some distance from his home, and
was about to return by a narrow path
through the woods, when his host offer
ed him a torch of pitch-pine to light
him through the darkness. He object
ed. saying 1T is too small: it does
not weigh more than half a pound"
1T will light you home answered his
host. He still objected, Perhaps the
wind will blow it out 1T will light
you home" answered the other. But
If it should rain?" the stranger still
objected. 1T will light you home"
once more replied the host. And so it
did. making the traveller glad with its
presence till he came to his own door,
where its work was ended.
