NEW CONSULAR SERVICE.
Gard System to Advance Interests Of
American Commerce.

Gard System TO Advances Interests Of

American consuls all over the world

system of catalogues and literature of
every manufacturing concern in the
United States as a result of an agree

the state department and the depart
Washington dispatch. The arrange
ment is in line with the administra-
tion's policy of placing the
of the United States i'm the first rank
through a reorganization of the con
sular service. The service recently
was shaken up, and now the admins
tration is preparing to furnish b new
men the necessary material with which
to produce results.
American consulates receive annual
ly many queries as to manufacturers
in various lines. The usual course in
such cases is to pass the inquiry on TO
Washington. which In turn advertises
1t TO the trade and thus gives any man.
ufacturer Interested an opportunity to
correspond. But this method has been
found to involve so much time that the
buyer in numerous instances has pur-
chased elsewhere before he gets infor-
nation about American goods.
William Harper. who evolved this
plan, was chief Of the bureau Of In
formation of the Philadelphia mu-
seums for six years following its or
ganization I'm 1894 and In that capacity
visited virtually all of the American
consuIa foS I'm the world in the courSp
of the years 1889.
One of the conditions OF the service
Is tina 1t Is free to any and all manu-
facturers In the country. No fee Is to
be charged for the service in sending
out cards TO the consulates. All that
Is required of the manufacturer is that
he print his cards in the language of
the country to which they are sent and
In a prescribed and uniform size for
assembling.

ELIOT ON HAPPINESS.
All Have Equal Chance. Harvard's Ex-
President Tells Missouri Graduates.

TFGst0GHt iGbS t"iSSOAFf oFAGdaAGS.
Charles W. Eliot former president
OF Harvard university. who delivered
the principal address at the commence
ment exercises of the University of
Missouri the other day. said in part:
THE most valuable element in a
feasible equality l. equality before the
aw and all agents of the law. and this
element il precious just because it
tends to make the pursuit of happiness
free and secure. The American de
mocracy. which should make the pur-
suit of happiness free and secure to
all, is far from having accomplished
this result.
1T can 10 so. however, without seek
ing to establish among men a monoto-
nous. tiresome and unnatural equality.
for happiness is fortunately a state OF
as regards wealth or the habitual oc-
cupation and of mental gifts. 1t is a
product of health. serviceableness, 10y
atty. security, amiability and a good
standing among mes fellows.
"In a democracy all sorts and condi
lions Of men should be equally free
and secure In the pursuit of such hap
piness. but all experience proves that
the humble. quiet. wholesome people
whose simple. dutiful lives will not
long be remembered have as good n
chance as anybody to win IT,"

Record, and once in while another pa

"fund" but Mr.. Hager seems to have
been the official printer to the superin-

During the last four years Mrs. Hager
has also been employed as reader of
teachers papers and has received near
ly $500. for her services.
The above money may have been and
probably was all earned by Mr.. Hager
and his wife, but it also shows that the
state superintendent has been careful OF
friends, and it ill accords with the roar
put up by Mr.. Hager in his paper and
at the meeting at Grafton last fall, that
he was being Disseminated against and
left out on state printing deals by state
officials-which complaint was publicly
endorsed in speech by Supt. Stockwell
at that meeting, who also complained

A popularity in quotations for barley
in the Minneapolis and Duluth markets
this year has been that along about
harvest time there was from eight to ten
cents difference between the grades and
ran from about forty seven to fifty six
cents. Ever since the margins have
been approaching each otherand for the
last few weeks the quotations have only
been about two cents apart and last
figures are 621s to GA But meantime
oats and corn have relatively been very
much higher than barley. Hence it looks
as if the demand for feed has sent the
lower grades of feed barley up until it
begins to look as if the poor grades of
barley are in so much demand that they
are worth almost as much as the good
barley. Of course oats at so,
corn at IS to 70 are much more costly
feed than barley at 60 cents in actual
feed value.

The contract for grading the Midland

there is no doubt that it will be built as
rapidly as possible. We often hear the
expression, "will it help this town Now
that depends. IL the people of this town
and community are >seeptical and ex-
press themselves it will not. On the
other hand it all believe that it will re-
wive business and make Crystal one of
the best towns on the map, it Will Just as
surely come to pass. The railway can be
depended on to dc its part, but the peo-
pie who are here must do their share
which is to expect business to boom and
falkland act as though they actually be-
ieve it will: There is vastly more in real
live active humanity than in inanimate
railways to make a town boom. The
best asset in any mans life is optimism.
and the community is just a lot of indi-
vidual assets gathered into one bunch.
What wall your attitude be-? Will you
expect, talk for and work for the best
year that Crystal has ever had, or will
you Join the doubting Thomases and
hold back2 The Call looks for good
business year because the people will be
stirred up and that business men will

But while men slept his enemy came
and sowed tares among the wheat and
went his way.
But when the blade was sprung up
and brought forth fruit then appeared
the tares also"
And he said unto them, tan enemy

Query-If that farmer had sowed the
tares himself with his seed who would
his ''enemy" have been? Better clean
