In January, 1898, Knann diod
zen years later an appeal was made
70 the cemetery authorities that the
oIehSlVe monuments be removed
IL was denied. Then appeal was
maze to Mr.. Knapp's brother. a
prominent attorney of Chicago. The
brother finally consented to the de-
struct1on of the monuments. where
upon the members of the cemetery
association entered upon a solemn
contract to this effect: The monu-
ments were to be broken and crushed
to powder. Each member was to
bury his share of the dust, either
underground or in midlake." So
mat 1t could be said that the sacri-
leg1ous monuments of Lewis KNAPP
no longer existed upon the face of
the earth.
The compact was fulfilled to the
letter. The shafts were tipped over
and broken into tiny bits. Not a
single letter remained whole. Then
each of the authorities took his
share of the debris, placed it in a
barrel, and at the dead of night
buried it-nObody knows where but
himself. Each burial was made Sc
cretly by each of the men upon whom
the responsibility rested. None
knew what any one was doing but
himself. Even the whereabouts of
the poor dust of what once were
proud monuments is wrapped in mys-
terry.

PREPARING FOR FARM CENSUS.
4'oOO Reams of Paper For 5000. 600
Copies of the Schedule.


A washington dispatch says active
work commenced Friday on the
preparation of the nine million comics
OF the schedule to be used in taking
the census of agriculture April 18th
next. The schedules will be printed
and ready about the first of the year,
although they will not be placed in
the hands of the $4,000 farm enum-
orators until the usual time before
the enumeration date. 1t is believed
there are nearly seven million SEN
arate farms in the United States.
each requiring separate schedule.
Inc schedule is printed on both
SIDES OF a single sheet, thirteen inch
es long and sixteen inches wide. of
white paper, 26 by 80 inches. There
is at three-inch-wide column of in
structions to enumerators on both
left sides of the sheet, so that it can
be cut off after the filled-in schedule
has been returned to the census bu-
reau. This makes the schedule
smaller in size and better adapted
for handling in tabulation than pre-
.vious schedules. A separate book
OF instructions to enumerate supple
ments the schedule information.
The nine million copies will con-
sumo $500 reams of paper, which,
counting So pounds to the ream,
will make a weight of 234,OOO
pounds. The charge for printing, in
Guiding the cost of paper, will lie
$4,000. The schedule is so stand
ardized that it will feed on the per-
fecting press used at the government
printing office, which makes 5000
revolutions per hour, and prints four
schedules each revolution, or a prod
uct of $4,000 per hour, as against the
old flat-bed presses used on the 1900
schedule with a speed of from 1900
to 1900 revolutions per hour. 1t
will take about three weeks to print
them with the press running sixteen
hours day.

Warrant Reads Contract by Former
Governor HOke Smith,
A warrant for 5000 has been
drawn on the state treasurer in favor
of the Hon. Hooper Alexander for
his services in a case, instituted by
Controller-general Wright against
the Georgia Railway and Banking
Company, arising over a matter OF
disputed taxes. Mr.. Alexander has
drawn $3.50 from the treasury before
as part of his fee in the same
case. Mr.. Alexander was employed
in this case and a contract entered
into with him On behalf of the state
by former Governor Smith on the day
before he relinquished his office as
governor.

Alexander, being member of the

SENSATIONAL WERE SCENES
Not Since the SulIy Boom of 1904
Has the Like Been Witnessed.
New High Record Made.

NEW YORK.-Not since the Sully
boom of 1904 has the New York
Cotton Exchange witnessed a more
sensational scene or more spectacu-
lar rise in prices than occurred Fri
day with the announcement of the
government crop report. With the
galleries crowded with visitors from
the south, augmented by friends and
relatives of operators and other in
terested spectators, the market soar
ed to new high record for the sea-
son with gains of more than 81 a
bale over yesterday Both the May
and June options touched the high
mark of 1880, both gaining approx
mately AZ points over yesterday S

100000 Sales Sold in Last Hour.
Bull brokers prevented a more
violent advance, as they had dis
tributed heavy selling orders every
five points up from 1876 for May
and July. they sold enormously,
supplying the demand of shorts and
also the thrush of buying orders from
Wall street, Chicago and southern
operators and the local and New Eng
land dry goods interests. The mar
ket continued in an excited state up
to the close, with estimates that
100000 bales had changed hands in
the last hour.
Great Rush of Buying.
1t was 2 o'clock when the news
came from Washington that the gov
eminent estimate was 10,088,000
bales, the smallest crop since 1908.
Immediately there was a tremendous
rush of buying. Orders poured in
from the world over, and prices
iumDed from 20 to 80 points on the
first transactions. Last trades made
Just before the report was announced
were on the basis of l 80 for May
delivery, the next sales were made
at 1910. an advance of 81 bale.
This was followed by tremendous
trading both ways and by rapid 1uc-
tuations. A break of 1856 followed,
then came the rise to 1880. July
cotton fuctuated along the same
lines, while March reached 1850 as

Below Expectation of Bulls.
The government estimate is about
100000 bales below the prediction
of the most sanguine of the bulls
and the action of the market natural
ly followed. Sixteen-cent cotton so
much talked about was not reallzed'
but the market came near 1t.
1t now remains to be determined
whether the federal estimaters nave
underestimated the yield as has been
tbn case for the past ten years. Dur
ing that time the crop has Deen o IN
derestimated each year at from oOV'-
600 to 100000 bales.

FARMING WITH DYNAMITE
EXPERIMENTS OF SHOOTING,
THE SOIL TRIED IN KANSAS
Ihree Thousand Saw the New Means
OF LOssening Earth. Many Plan

1"'00nS hartn' Many Plan
to Use System in Fields.
Farmers in the vicinity of Pitts
burg, Kan, are greatly Interested in
the scheme of using dynamite to
loosen up the subsoil of fields being
prepared for cultivation. Three
thousand persons watched demon
stration of the system given on the
grounds of the Manual Training Nor
nal school at Pittsburg a short time
ago.
DR.. William Hamm of Vienna was
the nrst to recommend the use of ex-
ploslVes in agriculture. His idea was
that the lowest strata of the soil
could not be reached by any of the
agricultural implements now in use.
10 demonstrate the feasibility Of the
idea number of interesting expert
ments have been conducted by ag-
ricultural departments over the
United States, among them that con-
Quoted by the Kansas department a.
few days ago.
A Gardener a Convert.
The demonstration at Pittsburg
was so satisfactory that many farm
ers are planning to follow UP the
scheme on their farms as soon as pos
slble. Henry Brinkman, a gardner of
Plttsburg, means to dynamite his
ground this winter and have it ready
for the spring crop. If all the farm
ers who are talking of trying the
explosives in farm work really make
the attempt it will soon be a COM
mon occurrence at Pittsburg to drive
out in the country and see farmers
I shooting" their ground as steadily
as If they were following the plow.
The place of demonstration on the
manual campus was piece of
ground 100 by ESQ feet. One-half
of the shots were fired by battery
and the other half was by fuse. The
dynamite was in stick form and a
quarter Of an inch in diameter. 1t
contained rs per cent. of nitrate am
monia powder. The sticks we're
placed twenty-five feet apart, and the
holes were drilled to a depth of
three feet. The shots fired by the
battery seemed to give the best re-
suits, seemed to shake the ground
better and leave it in better condi-
ton, as the wohle surface of the
ground was shaken at once.
Each Shot Leaves Reservoir.
The soil was thoroughly pulver-
lied for a distance OF six, feet from
each shot. Cracks ran fmeach direc-
ton from the shots, showing that the
explosives had left assures in every
direction under the ground as well
as on top.
1t is estimated by those who have
experimental in this class of ground
culture that each shot leaves a reser-
voir whore several hundred gallons
| of water can collect and furnish
moisture from the bottom instead Of
receiving all of the moisture from
the top, the water thus carried into
the ground feeding the roots or what
ever is planted much more readily
than if all the water came from the
surface. The ground that was 'shot"
at the Manual Training Normal
school will be planted in trees and
shrubbery.

Al Philadelphia April gath the
fourtieth anniversary OF the found
ing OF the house OF N. w. Aver q
Son. the great advertisers, was cele-
brated with a big dinner, al which
500 guests were seated. IL was a
notable occasion. and one that will
be long remembered by the partci-
pants.
Following is a brief resume of the
history OF the growth and upbuild-
ing OF this great company, and II is
well worth perusing. as showing the
results OF advertising:
The Aver a. Son Agency Is a Phil
adelphia institution.
The first general advertising
agency was established In Philadel-
phia In lS41 by Volney s. Palmer.
His Office was first on Pine street,
above Third, but soon at Third and
Chestnut streets. He also opened
Offices in New York and Boston.
In 1853 his Philadelphia and New
York business was purchased by Joy,
COe q Co. The Boston branch was
disposed Of to s. II. Niles, now de-
ceased.
Mr.. Joy handled the New York
end OF the JOY. Coe 4 Co. business.

under the style OF Coe, Wetherill 4
Co., until October, 1877, when this
firm sold out 10 N. w. Aver A Son,
who today, as the first advertising
agency In rank, are doing business In
the locality occupied by their prede''
cessor-the first advertising agency
In history.
Concerning this same site, II "
interesting To note that. with one
exception. every daily newspaper in
Philadelphia today was at some time
published on this ground, AZ one
period seven OF them were here al
the same time. Here. too. the Sat-
urday Evening Post found a home
between its. administration under
Franklin and later renown under
Curtis.
Philadelphia produced the first
daily newspaper In America. What

Eertiser." attesting the fact that the
growing Interests OF the country de-
manded daily publication.
Here was the medium that was
destined TO revolutionize the busi-
ness getting methods OF the country.
When the mails and the rails had
supplied their part, the era OF ad-
vertising had arrived.

Tillman had devoted considerable
time to research in the realm of cof-
fee, which is on the free list. When
1t comes in II costs from to 9
cents pound and when It has been
roasted and passed to the consumer
II has trebled in value.
The question whether these APP
parently exorbitant profits are what
they seem promises to be the sub
ject of much discussion hereafter.
Senators Gore and McLaurin,
among others. have already made
vigorous defense OF the retailers, de-
claring that they are being used by
the trusts as a shield to ward OF
public c ondemnation and that, all
expenses considered, the profits of
the little dealers are not excessive.
Meantime, Newlands has come in
with the suggestion that a govern
ment tribunal be created to keep the
people posted on, all prices, manu-
featuring, wholesale and retail.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF
THE HOUSE OF AVER"
NO ALCOHOL NOR ALKoLolDS

agent is zone who creates, develops,
distributes and cares for advertis-
ing other than his own"
Their famous open-contract plan
has revolutiopized the method OF ad-
vertising. transforming the agent
from canvasser, whose chief con-
Germ was TO get an order for come
thing on which he could get out
whole. to the specially Informed, al
ert and trustworthy co-operator
with the business man who has
something worth while 10 sell.
The plan they originated, which
comedies the right OF an agent 10 n
reasonable profit and places the
agent and the advertiser on the same
side of the counter as sellers, has
revolutionized American advertising
and with their organization Il has
made them as different from the
old-time agent as a large depart
ment store is from a pack peddler.
The first year Aver a Sons bust
ness was $4,000. In ten years they
were doing the largest business In
their line-a position which has
been maintaied by them ever since.
Their explanation OF this growth
is that they have made advertising
pay the advertiser.
They carry on their books on an
average $4,000 open accounts with
publishers, and the amount they
have paid the newspapers OF this
country exceeds t5O,0O0,O00.
Great as this sum Is, Il IN small
in comparison with the other mill
ions that have been paid TO the
newspapers through other sources
for exploiting articles along adver-
tising trails blazed by n. W. Aver
a Son.
Aver & Son have made a speciality
OF advertising staples. In the early
days Il was thought that adVertis-
ing was appropriate only for propri.
etors OF patent medicines, or, at
best, for an owner of a speciality.
This fallacy they have effectuaiiy sx-
ploded
Many specialti@s have been made
by advertising, and the staples OF
commerce have sold In this way TO
an extent the fathers never dreamed
OF.
AS a single illustration OF this
point, witness the well-known soda
cracker, which when given a name
suggested by Aver 4 Son, advertised
by plans made by them. packed In a
remarkable carton and marketed by
a wonderful organization. has made
the advertising success OF the age

Aver 4 Son state that they have
more faith In advertising today than
ever before.

reds OF Business men who few years
ago said, Advertising would do me

Washington, May ga novel
feature of the senate bill on the
Aldrich bill is the effort made to
shift the blame for high prices from
the much-abused tariff to the whole
salers and retailers.
The advocates OF protected lumber
were the discoverers OF that line of
reasoning. They found that asso-
Citations OF retail lumber dealers IN
widely separated states sold lumber
at prices fixed by schedules that
were alike in every detail. Il made
no difference whether the wholesale
price of lumber rose or fell, the re-
tail prices we're as unmovable as
Gibraltar. The. point in this argu-
ment was that the amount OF the
duty made no difference to the con-
sumer. The tariff was swallowed up
in the profits of the middlemen, and
the unfortunate consumer would pay
the same under a high or low tariff.
But low tariff, Il was claimed, would
put the manufacturer out of busi-
ness.
Along. then, came Senator Scott,

QUEER STATEMENTS
Advocates Of High Tariff Claim the Wholesale and Retail
Dealers Are the Cause Of High Prices to the
Consumers.

$3.50 a dozen and that the tariff
on glass pitchers was a fly spack com
pared with the hige profits Of the
dealers.
Lodge then called attention to the
fact that tea, which is on the free
list, jumped mysteriously from a
cost price of 16 cents to the jobber
in New York to 60 cents pound
when Mr.. Householder desires 10
take little of II home to the fam
lily. The self-same tea is sold in
Canada at 40 cents a pound, which
c'phers out that the American con-
sumer Is stung SO per cent worse
than his Canadian brother.
Flint next contributed the 100
piece French dinner set that costs
the importer, duty paid. $10.S9 and
is sold to the guileless ultimate con-
sumer In Washington for $50. Also
the cute little japanese tea set that
comes in at valuation of Al cents
and is sold for $3.50.
Smoot trailed In with the sad
story of the razor. The manufac-
turer sells II at 1895 a dozen, the
wholesale dealer at SO, and the re-
taller at 50 a piece, or $24 a dozen.
Ladies gloves, averred the Utah
statesman, cost the dealer $40 q

gain hunters at 50 per pair, or S24

OF the little pane OF glass. Smoot
