Experiments Prove II Pays to Buy
standard Quality.

Following are deductions from
tests carried on by the West Virginia
Experiment Station.
Fifty White Leghorns were COM
pared with Atty mongrels for one
year as to cost of food and egg pro-
duction, ordinary care and attention
being given them such as they would
receive on the average farm.
In addition to skim milk used to
moisten the mash the Leghorns con
sumed 6l pounds OF food costing
$50 cents. and the mongrels con
sumed 66S pounds OF the same. ma
terials costing 92.1 cents.
During the year the I.eghorns laid
1865 eggs worth 81. 26 per hen. and
the mongrels 96.l eggs worth Ills
per hen.
The l.eghorns gave profit over
the cost of food Of $1.3s and the
mongrels profit of s. cents.
The mongrels gained In weight
one pound per head more than the
Leghorns. II this increase In weight
is taken into consideration then the
Leghorns gave a profit OF 40 cents
per hen more than the mongrels.
The highest prices for fresh eggs
usually prevail during the months OF
November. December, January and
February. During these four months
the mongrels laid only S64 eggs and
the Leghorns 1929. or practically
three times as many.

Destroying Hats by Roses.

The use OF choice roses as rat bait
is to be experimental upon by the
biological bureau OF the Department
Of Agriculture. The bureau has been
informed of number OF cases where
rodents that spurned tempting
cheese and crackers were easily en-
ticed by rose, and II Is believed that
the result OF the experiments pro
posed by the bureau will he to show
conclusively that these flowers sur

Before the Congressional committe
yesterday Mr.. Carnegie reiterated his
statement that ''steel can be made
cheaper in America than in foreign
countries"
He added that "the cost of production
is cheaper here than abroad that no
tariff is needed and that it is impossible
for foreigners to compete seriously With
home manufacturers. The evidence is
complete The case is made. There is
no motive for him to missrepresent the
facts. Yet there is tariff of several
dollars per ton. MIR. Schwab, steel
king risen from poverty, lives in $780,
100000 palace. Mr.. Corey, another
ironmaster, lives in regal magnifcence.
The American farmer pays more for an
American made pillow than the German
farmer on the Rhine buys it for. The
tariff raises the cost of every nail, every
rivet, every tool, every machine the
American farmer buys. 1t adds to the
cost of every wagon, every harvester,
every mower and every other inpe-
ment he uses 1t is a tax on every
household in the land. The cost of liv-
ing is SO high that wages, toll and effort
are swallowed up by it Government
commissions investigate the question
of how goes it with country life, and
find that there is lack of comfort and
barriers to thrift. There is an exodus
from the country to the city by boys
who seek opportunities that country
life does not seem to afford. Farms by
the hundreds in New England have
been abandoned as Improbable. These
known and notorious conditions are
everywhere confessed aud nowhere
denied. The annual profits of the steel
trust are $l75, 100000. The Carnegie
testimony is OF extreme value. If the
present congress does not eliminate
this ceaseless toll by steel some other
congress will.-Oregon journal.

cising the right of free speech and
free press in country whose
proudest boast is that it guarantees
these rights.
The case grew out of contro-
versy between one Colonel ]. w.
Van Cleve, president of the Buck
Stove Company, and the American
Federation of Labor. Van Cleve,
who springs from one of the old
Southern slave-driving families,
refused to recognize the federation
or to run his business in any re-
epect in accord with the rules Of
organized labor. The Federation,
thereupon established a boycott
and the official organ published the
Buck Stove Company in list of
concerns as unfair" to union labor.
Vans Cleve got out an injunction
before Justice Wright, and the de-
PENDANTS, with the approval of the
organization which they repre-
sented, continued to publish the
facts in the case. For this they
have been sentenced tc Jail, and
there you have government by in
junction at its full fruit and flower.
How do you like IT'D
1t is inconceivable that in this
day and age in the Great Republic
that men can be sentenced to serve
long periods in jail upon the mere
ipsi dixit of a federal judge. Again
we ask what has become of the great
right Of trial by jury?
At the same time that these pro-
ceedings were being held against
these labor leaders, John d. Rookie
teller and John d. Archbold, the
great criminals of the Standard Oil
Company, were being given an inn
munity bath by answering few
questions before government COM
mission, so that they may plead, if
ever hailed into court, the same
immunity that the Chicago beef
packers of ''embalmed" beef infamy
plead under similar circumsta noes.

OF the recent business failures
throughout the United States, Brad

United States about 81 per cent of the
y total number OF concerns falling had
$1,000 capital or less, and 5 per cent had
rom 50. 900 to $40, 900 capital. Thus in
she industrial enterprises, under the
present financial system, are the "big
fish, rapidly consuming the "ittle
fish,, until it is extremely hazardous
for anyone to undertake to go into any
business unless he has large amount
of capital. Gradually the man of limited
means is being forced out OF business of
all kinds and bis place taken by the
trusts and corporations of capitalists.

army of unemployed, and enter the
contest for obtaining employment, by
competing with all classes of foreigners,
, while the government, at the behest Of
the capitalists, is doing all inits power
to favor the immigration of laborers
from nearly all the foreign countries.
Where will this system end? To what
are we, as nation, drifting? With
bill introduced in congress for the in
creasing of the presidents salary from
$50, 900 to 100000, advocated by the
president and most of the republican
leaders, on the grounds that the present
salary does not permit the President to
entertain and keep up appearances in
as lavish manner as the rulers of other
countries, or as do the presidents OF
corporations and trusts.
Are we nation of imitators? Could
not the President adopt a little of the
good "horse sense' of some of his pred

Justic Wright, Of the supreme
court of the district of Colum bia,

organized labor. Samuel Com pers,
president Of the American Fedora
ton of labor, is sentenced to one
years imprisonment; John Mitchell,
vice. president Of the organization,
is sentenced to nine months and
Frank Morrison, secretary, to six
months. II will be noticed that
Justice Wright has been both indge
and jury in this case and proposes
that men shall he imprisoned upon

1t may most properly be inquired
at this point what becomes Of the

sentenced for writing and printing

no personal capicity, but as repre-

AN EXPOSITION MANUAL.

1t is evident that the Tercentenary ceIe-
brstion of next summer will stimulate a
renewed interest in the history of the
Champlain valley. Theodore Roosevelt
has said that no other section possesses a
richer fund for the lover Of lore and leg
end to draw upon. The story of the
great Frenchman's discovery will be but
the chief incident in q long train of
events, covering more than two hundred
years, that will serve to draw the stu
dents special attention, now that the
whole subject is to be opened. We shall
lind that Isle LAMotta, Cumberland
Head, Vslcour, Basin Harbor, Crown
Point, Ticonderoga and scores of other
points on or near the lake have proud
places in pioneer, colonial, Revolutionary
and later history. The exploits OF Mont
gomery, Arnold, McDonough and other
heroes OF their times win be recalled to
their glory. The entire valley will be a
favorite resort for pilgrims and vaca-
tionists this coming summer, who may at
once combine pleasure, recreation, outing
and intellectual profit.
1t is fitting that some special work Of
printing should be called forth to serve
as an inspiration and guide for visitors,
and this task has been admirably per
formed by Hon. Horace W. Bailey Of Rut-
land, who enjoys delving in the past as
much as he does the activities of the
present. Mr.. Bailey has produced an
Historical Booklet OF the Discovery Of
Lake Champaign" which has been pub
lished and will be-issued by the Vermont
Tercentenary commission. 1t contains.
besides the usual foreword, sketch of
Samuel Champlain; the explorers own
story of the discovery of the lake; an
| original, concise aud comprehensive CLOS
sary Of facts that the visitor will want to
know about the points of interest, with
brief historical comment on each; closing
with Rev. Alfred J. Hough's new poem
on "Lake Champaign
The special intent OF this pamphlet, Of
which $4,000 copies have been printed, is
to circulate among the school children of
the state, awakening their interest in the
historical Importance OF the celebration,
yet we anticipate a wider demand for il
as an official guide book and manual Of
the affair, now certain to be of notable
proportions and graced by the presence of
the heads Of government in the United
States and Canada.
1t may be remarked, in passing, that
anything Horace W. Bailey does of pub
lie service win be cheerfulIy noted in his
old county, for which his heart still beats
warmly.

Right here comes the sublime and
browning Inconsistency OF the whole
system. We surround the traf8c in liq-
uors, light, dark, mild and powerful,
with all sorts of singular and extraordi-
nary safeguards. We make of the citizen
unfortunately overtaken in liquor a
special and peculiar criminal II be COM
mits an offense against the Law, other
than intoxication. his condition is no
defense; 1t Is rather an agRravation. And
yet we have made 9 precedent that q man
rendered irresponsible by morphine shall
not be punished as a criminal, but found
''not guilty"
What q strange perversion 4 justice is
here. Two active poisons. one a stimu-
liant, the other a narcotic, create eondi-
tions Of disease. The alcohol victim is q
criminal. The opium victim is not. One
goes to prison at hard labor or to the gal
lows. The other lie confined at the pleas
ure OF the court and may presently be re-
leased.
Such 3 situation is impossible. We
must either treat the morphine victim as
a criminal or excuse the alcoholic victim.
We cannot di1erentiate.
