TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS.

The PILOT has received notice from
the postoffice department at Washing
ton that the new ruling, which places a
limit to the time a subscriber can get in
bona fide subscriber, will be enforced
April !, 1908 This time limit is one
year for weekly papers When this is
exceeded papers can no longer be sent
to such subscribers at socalled pound
rates. The only way papers can contin,
ue to be sent is to have them prepaid at
regular postage rates, which of course
is out of the question, as no paper could
stand the expense.
During the past few months a large
number of our subscribers have paid up
but there are still number of subscrib
ers who are delinquent and unless they
pay up before April 1 their names will
then be dropped from our list. The new
ruling requires that all subscriptions to
weekly papers must be paid within one
year and we are therefore compelled to
restrict credit accordingly. If you are
a delinquent give the matter prompt
attention for the time is drawing near,
when the new ruling will go into effect,
and if you are not then square on our
books we will have to stop sending you

HEREDlTY IN NATIONAL LIFE.
Past History of People Determines
Their Present Character.

In the evolution OF races and ma
tions we find at the outset two general
laws, the one self-eyident the other
not apparent at first sight, but equally
demonstrable, according to David
Starr Jordan. The blood Of a nation
determines its history. This is the
first proposition. The second is, the
history of a nation determines its
blood. AS for the first, no one doubts
that the character Of men controls
their deeds. In the long run and with
masses of mankind this must be true,
however great the emphasis we may
lay on individual initiative or on in
dividual variation.
Equally true is It that the present
character Of nation is made by its
past history. Those who are alive to
day are the resultants OF the stream
OF heredity as modified by the vicissi-
tudes through which the nation has
passed. The blood of the nation flows
in the veins of those who survive
Those who die without descendants
cannot color the stream of heredty.
1t must take its traits from the actual
parentage.

Moral Effects of Athletics.

Aside from its physical effect, the
moral effect of athletics, in the case
of the soldier at least, is of no small
value. My experience has been that
men are less likely to drink in the
football or baseball season, even
though they may be addicted to the
use of intoXicants. And thus no spe-
cial effort may have been made along
these lines by those in charge of the
sports. The class of men who go
in for athletics and excel in such
contests are the most desirable sol
diers and the best all around men.
Still another advantage of athletics
is that good athletic teams and the
reputation for post of having cham
pion teams draw good recruits and
soldiers to enlist there.-Army and
Navy Life.

DOG AIDED HELPLESS FRIEND.
Remarkable Feat of Canine Inteii-
gence Put on Record.

A writer in the Cornhill Magazine
narrates an incident which occurred
to Miss Napier during her stay in
Algiers. A large dog kept for pro
lection was taught to go to the bak-
ers every morning for bread, and his
business was to bring home II rolls
in basket; but for several mornings
it was observed that there were only
IL rolls, and on making inquiry and
watching the dog, he was found to
stop on his way home and to bestow
one roll on a poor half starved female
dog, who lay with her puppies in a
corner not far from the road The
baker was then told to put 3 rolls
in the basket, and then for some days
the dog brought IL. After a time
the whole 13 were brought home regu-
larly a sign, as it was found that
his friend, the mother, was now con
valescent and able to do without help.

AS SUBSTITUTE FOR FOOTBALL.
Writer Suggests That Flowing Matches
Would Be Advisable.

A plowing match will help to inter
est boys in farming, and perhaps be
quite as profitable in the end as
football match. A plowing match Is
managed by measuring of equal tracts
to be plowed by each contestant, the
time being noted at the start and a
limited time allowed for finishing the
track. The contest is to be judged
by the straightness OF tho burrows,
the evenness Of the burrows both as
to depth and width, and the amount
Of land plowed within the time limit,
after which suitable prizes are award
ed Stock judging contests, butter
making contests and butter scoring
contests will all add interest and de.
sire to excel on the part OF the pupil.
IL boy is OF mechanical turn,
give him an introduction to farm me-
chanics. Experiments showing the in.
fuence OF grade on the draft OF farm
wagon may be made with L. simple ap-
pnratus the boy could construct him
self. 1t can also be easily shown how
draft Is influenced by the width of
tire as well as by the size OF the
wagon wheel, also the direction of line
OF draft and its influence on the draft
or the wagon. Let a boy with a me-
chanical head make an apparatus for
demonstrating the principles Of even
ers, or let him make working model
OF farm pump.
Thus in various ways 1t Is possible
to show the boy who thinks he knows
1t all that he still has something to
learn, and to show the plodding boy
that there is much beside drudgery on
the farm II he will bat open his eyes.

The EUROPEAN GRAIN TRADE.

Notwithstanding the great increase in
our flour exports to the Far East, the
United Kingdom alone requires far
larger quantities of American flour than
all Asia. In the grain trade the pre-
eminence of Europe as an outlet for our
surplus production is more marked, be-
tween 80 and 80 per cent of the total
wheat and corn exports from the United
States being destined to that continent,
while the United Kingdom alone buys
annually one. third of our entire ship
ments abroad of those grains.
The European Grain Trade is the la.
test subject investigated by the Bureau
of Statistics of the Department of Agri-
culture. bulletin under that title, pre-
pared by Frank R. Rutter, while Assist
ant Chief of the Division of Foreign
Markets, having just appeared. This
bulletin, giving comprehensive statistics
of the European imports and exports of
grain and -four for a long period of
years, compiled from the official statis-
tics of the various countries, supple
ments recent bulletin covering the
grain production of the United Kingdom
and the various continental countries
While the United Kingdom, of course,
holds first rank as market for foreign
grain the rapid increase in the require
ments of Germany is perhaps the most
striking feature disclosed by the trade
statistics. Within the last twenty years
Germany has risen from sixth to sec
ond place among the wheat importing
countries of Europe. AT the present
time Germany has to depend upon i'm
portation for more than one third of it's
total supply.
At the same time that western Europe
is providing market for our surplus
grain, eastern Europe is increasing the
force Of its competition. Russia, while con
tinuing to grow enough rye for it's own
consumption, is constantly increasing
the wheat acreage on its larger estates
and the consequent surplus available for
expectation in years of normal harvest.
During the first five years of this cen
tury the average wheat exports from
Russia reached 141 600, 600 bushels,
showing a gain of 40, OOO, 900 bushels as
compared with the exports twenty years
earlier.
Hungary, the second largest exporter
of wheat in Europe, ships its surplus al
most entirely to Austria, so that Hunga-
ran wheat enters into strictly foreign
trade to very limited extent and then
almost solely in the form Of -four, the
products of the Hungarian mills being
of an exceptionally high grade.
Roumania ranks third among the
surplus producing countries of Europe,
nearly one. half of its total crop being
shipped abroad There, as in Russia, the
increase of wheat acreage is taking
place almost entirely on the large
estates, while the smn .ler growers con.
tent themselves with raising corn, the
great mainstay of the peasants in the
Danubian countries.
To all three of the countries named
1907 brought poor crops and thereby
suspended for the present the competi-
tion that American exporters meet from
eastern Europe.
This factor has undoubtedly had much
influence in driving wheat prices to a
point much higher than has been reached
since 1898, following the disastrous crop
failures Of 1897.

Died Thursday morning at his home
on Fifth St, Martin Haywood aged %
years Death came peacefully after
long feebleness and weakness.
Mr.. Haywood was born Nov. %, 1915,
in Charleston, New Hampshire. There
he lived until 1S42, when he came west
by the canal route, arriving at Manito-
woo the following year. There for TWEEN
ty-fve years he participated in hard
ships and pleasures attendant upon the
transformation of natures solitudes in
to prosperous towns, and the subJuga'
tion of dense forests to the teeming pop
ulation of eastern Wisconsin. There he
met and married Sarah Elizabeth
Bracket and for fifty years they lived
in happy companionship. Mrs. Hey
wood died in January Of this year. In
1868 Mr.. Haywood moved to Neenah

of the community until encroaching age
and failing health ended his activities.
Mr.. Haywood made himself felt in
Neenah as a citizen of sturdy and lofty
character, as a kindly and helpful neigh.
bor and as loyal and lovable friend.
The declining years of lifewer crowned
with the blessings that temperance, hon.
esty and integrity of character bring.
The earthly life of noble soul
has closed, only TO broaden out in
to eternity of usefulness and joy.
