A Golf Story.

Scotsmen are noted for their canni-
ness, and story told by Lancashire
commercial traveller, who was up in
Aberdeen a few days ago, shows that
the men beyond the Tweed are still
worthily upholding their reputation.
The traveller in question was asked by
prospective buyer to subscribe to the
prize fund for the local golf toS<na-
ment. He parted with shillings, and
as he was interested in golf he re-
marked that he would like to be kept
informed of the progress of the tour
nament so that he could look out for
the result.
"Oh," said the customer as he picked
up the shillings and placed it secure
ly in his pocket, we medina dae that.
The tournament was held last Satur-
day" This was rather staggerer for
the latest contributor to the prize fund,
but he retained curiosity enough to in
quire who had proved the happy win
ner. The guileless solicitor for sub
scriptions was quite undaunted, how
ever. The winnerT' he said coyly,

The British academy once had print
ed n few copies of an important work
for presentation TO some foreigners
who, from their prominence in the sci
cntitic world. were best entitled to be
honored with the gift. Professor Airy,

TO make selection of the names. A
few days after lie had sent IN his list
he was Informed by the secretary of
the admiralty that my lords were
struck by the number of unknown
names included and that they wished
to make an inquiry on the subject.

What Man Owes to Birds.

at should be realized" said a nat
uraliSt, that without birds to hold in
check the insects vegetable life soon
would cease and life for man would
become impossible upon the earth.
Birds are natures check to the amaZ-
ing power Of insects TO increase, If
insect life were allowed free course it
would soon overpower plant life, and
therefore animal life, including that of
man, would he impossible This is an
astounding conclusion but it is the
conclusion of science. If the birds
were gone very soon the leaves would
disappear from the trees, and the limbs
would be festooned with the webs of
caterpillars or with masses of their
nests. These would move from tree to
tree, increasing by the million as they
advanced. In the course of n few
seasons there would be no trees. In
the fields other species of insects would
destroy the grass and the grain and
all vegetable life, and the ground
would be as if a sea of devouring
mouths had passed over it."

Economy of Costly Foods.

The economy of expensive foods Is
explained by the fact that digestion,
at least in man, is dependent upon
fiavors, without which it is so defec-
tive that we do not obtain the good of
the food we swallow. AS far as ex-
periments go, they substantiate these
assertions, for the sight and smell OF
pleasing food start the flow of di-
gestive fluids while disagreeable odors
and sight stop it. Delicatessen, then.
would seem to be staples, for they are
necessary. The talk of being able 10
subsiSt on a few cents day is simply
nonsense and leads to deterioration OF
health. What seems to be extrava-
gance in food purchases may be
wholesome instinct. The high cost OF
living is partly due to the cost of the
flavors we need. We commend these
ideas to our worthy dietetic econo-
mists. Laymen may not be so foolish
as the Psychologists themselves. -

FARMERS WILL
CONTROL MARKET

Throughout the west and southwest
hundreds of elevators have been or are
being erected under the direction of
the Farmers union for the purpose of
storing their grain. The farmers pro-
pose to monopolize the cereal product
and clean up millions of dollars, by
withholding wheat from market aud

union is becoming almost invulner-
able. The question of restricting pro-
duction OF cotton is paramount. Pres-
dent j. A. Taylor of the National
Ginners' Association, says in an ad-
dress TO the cotton growers that this
years crop will bring them $50, 000-
600 less than last year (when the total
product brought 5000. 900, 900, al
though 2, 900, 900 bales more will be
marketed this year than in 1908. Presi-
dent Taylor urges that at least ten per
cent less cotton should be raised the
coming year. His advice is being fell
lowed with enthusiasm. Meetings by
the hnudreds are being held in small
towns and cross-road school houses.
Speakers are showing that when the
unions instructions were followed cot
ton was boosted from six cents TONNE
cents aud even fourteen cents a poUu
and that this year loss will be sus-
tainad because the members did not
obey the unions decision. The new
idea that is being put into practice hy

by the wheat Taisers emanates from
Mississippi. The members of the
Farmers union of that state decided
to set aside one acre of their crops for

of aiding those members requiring as

stock over to his store across the road
and plastered his windows with ne

customers across to the store over the

some days after he once more got in a
stock from headquarters.
