Chips srrival there with the Frisbie
family. and her later history, learned
from Uncle Joe. furnished a fertile
topic. her escapade In running away
from Greenvale, q more exciting one,
while Old Cy's visit and deposit OF a
fabulous sum In the bank In her name
had been a nine days wonder. That
amount, limited at only by the cashier
as a comfortable fortune, soon grew in
size until it was generally believed to
be almost a million.
This was Riverton and its decidedly
rural status when late one December
afternoon the Quaboag free bus Ca
two-seated pung, this time) swept up
to that hotels front door, where the
porter assisted stylish young lady
to alight, and he, stepping like drum
major, led the way into the Quaboag' S
unwarmed parlor.
Young lady, sir. n sumner. wants
room over night, sir" he announced to
the landlord in the office q moment
later. Coin to Greenvale to-morrer,
she says"
On the instant all converse in the
Office ceased, and the six constant call
ers hardly breathed until Sam Gates
fastened to the parlor and returned.
ITS that Mcclure gal-lady,
mean" he asserted pompously; then
the porter, Cit a move On, Jim, n
start a fire in Number 6, an quick,
tool" And hastily brushing his untidy
hair before the office mirror, he left
the room again, followed by six en-
vious glances. Then those astonished
loafers grouped themselves, the better
to observe the passage between parlor
and Office.
Only one instant sight of this impor-
tant guest was obtained by them as
Chip emerged from the parlor and
followed the landlord upstairs, and
then the hushed spell was broken.
"By gosh, it's her!" exclaimed one
in an awed whisper, IAN Jim was
right, she's a stunner!"
What do ye s'pose she's here for,
queried fourth. Ito draw the interest
on her money, or what?"
1t was precisely four forty-five when
Chip appeared before the judge and
jury of all Riverton's happenings. At
five forty-five they had agreed that
she was the handsomest young lady
who had ever set foot in the town,
that she must be going to get married
soon, and that her mission there was
to draw out a few thousand dollars
for wedding finery. Then they dis
persed, and at six forty-five, when they

MAKES FALSE PLEA
UNTRUE STATEMENT IN MANILA
DAILY BULLETIN.
BY Inference the Absurd Claim Is
Made That Hollands Sugar Tar
if Is for the Benefit of
Javan Planters.

Now comes the anniversary number
OF the Manila Daily Bulletin, with a
fresh plea for sympathy. They would
have us believe that the sugar plant
ers of the nearby island of Java enjoy
trade privileges with their benevolent
mother country, Holland, which the
hard hearted United States refuses to
ments made, and the differences to be
drawn from them, would lead us to
conclude that Holland maintains a tar
in on foreign sugar for the benefit of
Javan sugars, which are admitted free
of duty, and that in this way the bulk
of the Javan product is marketed in
Holland at such good figures as to ma
terially help out the Javan planters on
the little surplus they are obliged to
sell at lower prices to duty-imposing
countries. The Bulletin says:
1.-THE handicap of remoteness from
the great markets of Europe and
America affect us far more seriously
than it does equally remote Java. That
country at least has the advantage of
free entry OF her mother country's
consumption at prices which enable
her to equaliZe on the surplus which
she sends to duty-imposing countries. ="
Nothing could be further from the
truth. The state department gives the
Holland tariff on sugar imports as
1912 per 100 pounds, and in reply to
an inquiry as to how the various Eu-
ropean nations treat their colonial
sugars, the Hon. Elihu Root, secretary
of state, writes:
"In reply to your letter of the goth
inst, have the honor to inclose a
statement, prepared in this depart
ment, of the customs duties imposed
on importations of various grades of
sugar by England, France, Germany,
Russia, Austria, Hungary, Holland,
Belgium, Spain and Italy, respectively,
and to inform you that none of the
countries named therein, with the sole
exception of France, gives preferential
treatment to sugar arriving at the GUS
! tom houses OF the home country from
its colonies"
This gives the lie to every statement
above quoted from the Bulletin, and
every inference that can be drawn
| from it,
Holland levies q high tariff on sugar
| imports, not for the benefit of the
Javan planter, as the Bulletin would
have us suppose, but to protect the
Holland sugar-beet raiser who sup
plies hundreds of thousands of tons OF
beets to the 80 Netherlands beet
sugar factories. In 1900 these fac
tories not only produced the sugar
consumed in Holland, but they ex
ported nearly 400000,0QQ pounds Of
sugar to other countries. In that year
out of n total of over 100000 tons ex
ported from Java, Holland absorbed
but 166 tons, or less than one-third OF
one per cent of the Javan exports, and
on every ton there was collected the
full duty.
If Holland had paid $1,000 a ton
bounty on the 166 tons OF Javan sugar
she imported it would have added less
than one cent per hundred on the total
Javan sugar exports, and it is plain to
be seen that even this huge sum would
have no appreciable effect ION the sur
plus which she sends to duty-imposing
countries

COnsidar the EYldence.

The writer's for this issue of the Ru-
ralist are witnesses to certain facts.
They have given personal experience
have told the truth.
The readers are the jury to pass
judgment. The first duty of the jury
is to consider the evidence. In carry
ing out this course let US see what facts
seem to be established by the evidence
of these witnesses.
The first important fact proved is
that the South is no longer one crop
country. If any doubt remained as to
whether all Southern farmers must of
necessity raise cotton, it must now van
ish.
Not only is cotton no longer the sole
money crop on many large Southern
farms. but as profit Garner It is sup
planted by several other crops.
The list of money crops enumerated
by our witnesses includes Peaches,
other fruits, melons, sweet potatoes,
onions, radIshes and several other truck
crops, peanuts. sorghum and other hog
foods, cane and hay.
Not only is the list a large one, but
each crop mentioned is proved to be a
money-maker. In several cases by act
ual comparison with cotton some other
crop is shown to be more profitable than
the latter, even at the high prices Of
the last two seasons.
Another fact demonstrated is that
there is variety of crops which, with
comnaratively labor and small invest
mel t, make independent incomes for
their growers.
Most Of these crops are such that they
can be grown quite extensively without
danger of exceeding the demand. True,
five acres Of celery could hardly be
counted on TO pay $1,000 per acre, as
did Mrs. Higsmith's patch, but the de-
mand will take large quantities at prof
liable prices.
Onions is another crop of similar ma
ture, with good demand, adapted TO
large areas and returning good profits.
What the South needs, however, is
not crops which may be made TO pay
large returns on a few hundred acres.
What we need is something which can
be grown on tens of thousands Of acres
heretofore in cotton, and pay as well or
better than the average crop Of cotton.
We believe this crop has been found.
We have urged the fact for years. It
is found in hay or hay and corn. The
new proof Of this truth supplied by Mr..
Herald We believe to be the most valu-
able fact presented in this issue of the
Ruralist.
Another fact shown by our witnesses
is the advantage in the way Of indie
pendence and income offered to women
by Southern soil.
Last, and not least, here is proof Of
independence, competence -home-with
no investment but willingness TO work
for these blessings. Southern Ruralist

The LIOyds Eating House.

The first prize article in this Ruralist
is a remarkable showing Of what q
Northern man, or any other man with
intelligence and industry, can accom-
plish in a few years in the South.
II is a graphic proof Of how indepen-
dent we are of cotton IL we would only
half try. IL lie o powerful demonstra-
ton of what can be accomplished by
one man using modern farm machinery.
It is full of practical value.
None Of these facts, however, so ap-
peals 20 US as the mere fact that the
article comes from Lloyds, Fla. No one
who has ever travelled across the north
ern end Of Florida, on the Jacksonville
New Orleans division of the SeabOard
Air Line Railroad, and stopped for din
ner at Lloyds will ever forget the place
or name.
It is the best and most unique railway
eating house in America.
The story is told Of an Englishman
touring the United States who had heard
80 much of Lloyds that his desire to dine
there was his chief ambition in America.
On arriving in New York he asked
every one whom he thought could direct
him the way to Lloyds. No one could
tell him So he continued touring the
continent, continually repeating his
question: where is Lloyds?"
Finally winter came and found him in
Florida, and his question was answered:
"Lloyds is on the S. A. L. between
Jacksonville and Tallahassee" So he
took the next train, and in three hours
was taking dinner at Lloyds. At the
end Of his repast he inquired for the
mistress Of the establishment, for it is
woman-managed place, and said:
Madam, | heard of LlOyds all over
England. | have travelled the whole
new world in search of the best railway
eating house. | have found it. It's repu-
tation is deserved. l am satisfied. l
shall take the next steamer for home. -
We have often been there and left as
satisfied as this Englishman. Naturally
we could not read Mr.. Herold's article
without thinking of Lloyds. Not only
is the dinner set before hungry travel.
ers at this remarkable dining station Of
the best, but there are other things
equally unique.
The train stops at large one story
farmhouse, shaded by grand old water
oaks and set in a beautiful flower gar
den. The station and village are only
dimly seen through the trees
The dinner is always ready; the SER
