MexIco,s Poor Wheat supply.

Writing from Saltillo, Consul Thorn
as w. Voetter says that on account Of
the poor Mexican wheat crop har-
vested in 1907 about all the wheat
raised has now been ground and the
mills will shut down. The supply of
flour on hand is not suffi Client to last
until the new crop is harvested. and
millers there are DESTROYS that the fed
eral government should reduce or take
off completely the import duties on
wheat. but so far as known no con-
certed effort has been made to secure
this action. One of the mills In Sal
tillo has for several months past been
grinding wheat from the Argentine re-
public, which was imported at the
period when the government last re-
duced the import duties on wheat.

Nineteen years ago today the first issue

and although fire and flood have struck
US occasionally, it has never missed pub
LEGATION single week during the time.
The first six months we did business in
the front room Of small building west Of
the Vincent block until fire drove US out
The Spencer block was just being finished
and quarters were secured there. When
the Peoples Savings Bank block was
built ten year lease was made for the
second floor and we did business there
until the Star was purchased. Flood
drove US out OF the basement into our
present quarters, where we still continue
to do business, and thank our friends and
patrons that it is as well with US as it is.

laughing at his tears and mocking
him until his admiration was swal-

bered Dorothy as he had seen her last,
pensive and fair. looking wistfully

AROUND THE HOUSE
LITTLE THINGS THAT ALL MAKE
FOR COMFORT.
Shoestrlnp Bag Will Be Found q Great
Convenience-Preparing Fruits
and Vegetables for the Table
Regarding Cooks.

The ShoestrIng Bag.-Rig up
small wooden frame. making 1t twice
the width you intend the bag to be and
the length OF the shoestrings. Secure
with thumb tacks enough shoestrings
to cover the frame and weave in and
out or over one and under two, or
whatever pattern Is desired, the rest
OF the shoestrings. When the weaving
process is entirely finished first catch
the loose ends with the thread, and
then unloose from the frame. Line and
bind with silk or satin; make into a
small bag with ribbon strings. This
is a very handsome bag. the material
OF which would never be suspected
when the bag Is once finished. The
tin ends of the shoestrings of course
should be clipped off after the weaving
process Is finished.
Preparing Fruits and Vegetables for
the Table.-All fruits and green vege-
tables, also dried or fresh mushrooms
and figs, should be carefully inspected
and washed before they are served at
table or cooked, In order that no in
oCNt iiho may 10 lCiI III
crack or corner. Spinach especially
should be infinitely examined and
washed again and again in cold run
ming water before 1t is put into the
saucepan. Hidden under the spinach
leaves close to the stems are small
white worms which usually make
their appearance In the spring and
fall. They so nearly resemble the leaf
itself that they are apt to be over
looked.
Regarding Cooks.-Be sure that your
cook and other maids have comfort
able beds and well aired, nicely fur
nished rooms; the cook especially,
whose moods are apt to color those
Of the family, II she be well lodged in
attractive quarters after her long
days work is apt to look upon life
more cheerfully. The maids room, in
an apartment, is nearly always impos-
sibly small and cramped. If, however.
1t is a nicely furnished room, with
curtains and pictures, to make 1t home
like, the maid will have some pride in
keeping 1t neat.
Children's Shoe laces.-To keep the
childrens shoe laces from untying
have the ends of the laces wet before
tying the usual knot. They will not
come united during the day.

TAFT ON CAPITAL AND LABOR

Taft says: Labor needs capital to
secure the best production, while capital
needs labor in producing anything. The
share Of each laborer in the j>int product
is affected not exactly, but in a general
way, by the amount of capital to carry on
the work there is to do, and the more
work there is to do the more laborers are
needed. The greater the need for labor
ers, the better their pay per man. Mani
testify, it is in the direct interest Of the
laborer that capital shall increase faster
than the number of those who work.
Everything, therefore, which legitimately
tends to increase the accumulation of
wealth and its use for production will give
each laborer larger share of the joint
result of capital and labor. 1t will be
observed that the laborer derives little or
no benefit at all from wealth which is not
needed for production. Nothing is so
liksly to make wealth idle insecurity Of
invested capital and prop erty. 1t follows
as necessary conclusion. that to destroy
the guarantees of property is direct blow
at the interest of the workingman. What
| am anxious to emphasize is that there
is a wide economic and business field in
which the interest of the weathiest
capitalist and the humbest laborer are
exactly the same"

MINNESOTA points with pride" to the
prison Irvine plant as money making
business venture which is not only self
sustaininn, but pays handsome profit to
the state and actually saves to the farm
ers of the state about 100000 year in
the difference between the prison product
and those of outside manufacturers. 1t is
estimated that the average difference in
the prison and trust prices during the
existence of the plant has been between
2 and 81 cents pound, which would
make the actual saving of the Minnesota
farmers during that period at least So,

Ennlish Breakfast.

The English have a knack of serv-
ing breakfast in a tempting manner.
The silver toast rack with delicate
slices of hot, crisp toast, the plate of
hot mullins. well buttered, are quite
a meal In themselves. Steaks and
chops are rarely seen on an English
breakfast table. Bacon is much used
and often a dish of cold meat is seen
on the table. The bacon is usually
served in silver breakfast dish
which has receptacle for boiling wa
ter underneath. which keeps the meat
hot. 1t is always crisp and beautifully
cooked. There is hardly a breakfast
without eggs, but these are boiled at
the table with one of the many devices
for boiling eggs over an alcohol lamp.
They are always placed in an individ-
ual egg cup. and the top removed with
the spoon.

went much with other men of his age,
cigarettes. For the first time in his
life he had no sweetheart, and he
wanted none. He decided that he
would wait until he met Dorothy, and
then he would explain how he had
come to desert her. and would beg
her pardon, and she would tell him
that he was the only boy she had
ever cared anything about, and they
would be happy, up there.
Then the new family moved into the
vacant house across the street. There
was one boy in the new family, and
diffidently watching the other boys
play. 1t was only right that this
friend of mine should show some
courtesy to the stranger and invite
him to join in building snow fort.
There were two sisters of the strange
boy, and one was tall and fair, with
golden hair and blue eyes, and
sweet seriousness that made ones
heart beat faster That day he gave
her brother his new pockct-knife, and
it was but a few days after that he
carried her books on the way to
school.
Was he faithful to her, this reckless
lover? That / shall not tell, for he
