due to the fact that the people OF Iowa,
Minnesota, Kansas and the other agrI-
cultural states are insistent in their
demands that something be done to
curb the rapacity Of the tariff fed
trusts.
OF more than ordinary interest to the
farmer is the statement OF Olof Larsen.
q hardware dealer of Lynden, Kan,
who sets forth facts sufficient to con-
Wet the trusts at the bar OF public
opinion. Mr. Larsen says:
The writer has spent several years in
the employ Of the International Harvest
CT trust. the last four years of which L
spent having charge of a large territory
for them III northern Europe. quitting
their employ about seventeen months
ago; am now engaged in the hardware
and implement business heIe. During my
trips to Europe I sold TO European deal
ers harvesting machinery f. o. b. cars at
Chicago as follows Binders S33. mowers
So. hay rakes s. and reapers for Sl5 less
than they are sold 10 American dealers.
besides selling the European trade spe-
Cial, stronger made and more durable
machine than domestic types, in order to
handle the heavy crops raised over there
aud compete with the substantially built
free from any such competition. as our
tariff imposes prohibitive duty on ma
Chincry. namely SS5 on a self-bindeT. All
other American manufactured articles are
sold abroad at about the same ratio; for
instance, q certain Waltham watch move
ment which costs here $3.50 is sold all
over Europe for So, and ! might go on
and mention hundreds Of articles. The
fact is that we can manufacture goods
cheaper here IN the United States than
they can in Europe in a great many in
stances.
If the farmer will take a pencil and
figure the extra cost on harvesters
mowers, hay rakes, etc, and then sub
tract the benefit he derives from the
present protective tariff, which is Sc
small as to hardly be worth while
counting. he will gain a fair idea OF
how much is being taken from him
each year. Farm machinery is only
one illustration. There are thousands
of articles sold cheaper abroad than al
home.

There was a girl IN our town
And she was wOndrous wise
She didn't squeeze and pinch her hips
And thus reduce their size.
She didn't wear a pile Of hair
All frizzled and beCurled,
She didn't wear 8 bonnet that
Shut her off from the world.
She let the old piano rest
She learned to bake and brew.
And learn to roast and fry ana a-r.
And learned TO build a stew.

SEEING THE LIGHT.

The suggestion. late as it is. shows
some signs Of intelligence The rail-
road men handling traffic matters in Salt
Lake, and the directing heads Of the
trafic departments, have always been
anxious to discuss questions affecting
rates with shippers. 1t is to their in
terest TO meet any demand they can in
reason and have the friendship of the
public. No one knows better than they
the advantage Of amicable relations be-
tween shipper and carrier; and no one
understands more thoroughly how alb
solutely the prosperity Of a railroad de-
ponds upon the prosperity of the terri
tory it serves.
Notwithstanding this attitude Of the
roads, the Republican and the poll
ticIsns who demanded a state railroad
commission. assumed that the railroads
we're robbers, that the only way to Sc
cure reasonable rates was by compul-
sion, and that the sole purpose Of the
roads entering salt Lake was to charge
eKtortionate rates and DEFY every effort
10 get a modification Of existing tariffs.

Derivation of Chauffeurs.

Chauffeurs-literall "firemen"-
existed long before there were auto
mobiles. About the year 1875 there
sprang up in France. principally in
the eastern and central regions, fam
tastically-dressed men. with their
faces blackened with SCOT and their
eyes carefully concealed. who gained
admittance to farmhouses and other
isolated dwellings at night and com
mitted all kinds Of depredations and
outrages. They had an atrocious
habit, from which they obtained the
name that posterity has preserved for
them. They first garroted their VIC
Tins and dragged them In front OF
a great fire, where they burned the
soles of their feet. Then they de-
manded Of them where their money
and jewelry were concealed. These
were the first "chauffeurs."

and of which she has written for the
Century.
lone of the prettiest things in
home life all over SPAIN" she says,
"is the natural and kindly way In
which the servants are made part
of the family. In the don's house
the little maids often took part In the
conversation, spoke to the guests,
and asked them to stay longer; and
even the porters and kitchen visitors
popped their red-capped heads into
the door to say the Spanish equivalent
for 'howdy' to the family, just as old
negroes do in the Southern states. >"

Wbv China Has Few Trees.

Frank n. Meyer, the scientific ex-
plorer for the government in his re-
cent penetration of China. saw farms
that had been under irrigation since
before Columbus discovered America.
To the credit of the pagan priests, be
1t said. all forms of plant and tree
growth were cherished and encour-
aged around the temples. The priests
gave Meyer what information they
could. The extent to which forest
devastation has gone in China can
be inferred from the fact that the
Chinese have rooted and grubbed out
every vestige Of tree growth the size
of your finger above the graves of
their revered ancestors.

Cause of Leaves Change of Color

Cause Of Leaves Change of Color.
When sap ceases to flow In the au-
tumn, and the natural growth of the
tree ceases, oxidation in the leaves
takes place. Under this oxidation
the leaves change to red. or, with q
slight change of the condition. 1t
might be yellow or brown. This,
however, is only the chemical expla-
nation. Life, or, as we would ay,
vital power, has to bear a part. II
branch is entirely cut off from the
main plant, no change Of color oc-
ours. On the other hand, II branch
is injured, though not entirely cut
of from the tree, change of color
takes place, even II 1t be mid-sum-
mer. In other words, chemistry
alone cannot account for the bright
colors of autumn foliage; the mysteri-
GUS power we call life has to work
at the same time.

The Ideal Diet.

Too much food Is as bad as too III
tie and occasions waste Of energy
and strength In the body as well as
waste OF nutritive material. says a
writer in What to Eat" While In
the case of some foods as purchased.
notably meats, some waste Is una
voidabIe, the pecuniary loss can be
diminished, both by buying those
kinds in which there is the least
waste, and by utilizing more careful
ly than is ordinarily done, portions
of what is usually classed as refuse.
Much of the waste may be avoided
by careful planning SO as to provide
a comfortable and appetizing meal In
sufficient amount, but without ex-
cess. II strict economy Is necessary,
the dearer cuts Of meats and the
more expensive fruits and vegetables
should be avoided. With reasonable
care in cooking and serving, pleas
ing and varied diet can be furnished
at moderate cost. II should not be
forgotten that dearness of a food
material depends not only on Its
market price. but also on the cost OF
its digestible nutrients. 1t should
always be remembered that "the
ideal diet is that combination Of
foods which, while imposing the
least burden on the body, supplies
It with exactly sufficient material to
meet It's wants"
