Can You Solve it?

This is the popular puzzle over
the state just now: A banker 60
ing home to dinner saw $40 bill
on the street. He picked it up and
noted the number. While at home
his wife remarked that the butcher
had sent bill amounting to $40.
The. only money he had was the
bill he had found so he gave her
that and she paid the butcher
The butcher paid it to farmer fo1
a calf, the farmer to the merchant
and he in turn paid it to washer.
woman, and she owing the banker
a note of $40, went to the bank anc
paid it. The banker recognized
the bill as the one he had found
and which to that time had paic
$50 worth of debt. On careful ex
animation he found that the bill
was counterfeit. Now what wa:
lost in the transaction and by
whom.

Wild Animal Gets Loose

Rajah, one of the leopards with
the Yankee Robinson Show, escap-
ed from winter quarters of the show
last winter. Grave fears were en-
tertained at the time for the safety
of the people living about the quar-
tiers. 1t has always been rule
with the shows that when an ami
NAL escapes, to shoot it before DAM
age can be done. In this instance
a large number of men were dele
gated to hunt for the animal. It
was found and freed. Just as it
was about to spring on one of the
keepers he was shot. His eyes
were shot out. After much medi-
cal care one of his eyes was saved.
He is hard specimen to look at
now, although before he was shot
he was considered the most beauti-
full animal in the world. He is
considered the most vicious of all
the cat animals. No one ever en-
tiers his cage. When you go
through the menagerie ask to have
him pointed out.

HELIOGRAPHS
To be Used on the National
Forests

Experiments will be made dur
ing the summer with the Standard
Photographs, which are now used
in the War Department, for signal
ing on the National Forests. One
of these experiments will be on the
Kaniksu Natioal Forest in Idaho.
and the other on the Stanislaus
Forest in California.
1t is intended to discover wheth-
er these instruments will be of use
on National Forests to report fires
or transmit other messages in areas
where there is no quick method of
communication.
The conditions of climate and
latitude, as well as the species of
infammab1e trees in the two forests
are sufficiently different to deter
mine whether the instrument is
suited to some localities and not to
others.
Easy and quick communication
to all parts of forest must be had
if fire is to be kept down. Anyone
who knows Of the fearful damage
wrought by forest fires on private
and unprotected lands each year,
will easily see that through fire pa
troll, use of telephone lines and 9TH
er means of communication, such
as is maintained on the 1916 900, 900
acres in the National Forests, the
losses can be reduced to mini
MUM.
For the administration and pro-
lection of the 14S National Forests
in 10 states and territories, the
Government spent 81, 526, 098.02,
or about Il cents an acre for the
year 1908. Of this amount $780,
1919 was spent for permanent
improvements, including the con-
struction of $500 miles of trails,
100 miles of wagon roads, 5000
miles of telephone lines and 40
miles of fire lines.
The Superior Forest officers, with
headquarters here, have just begun
on the proposition of putting in 70
miles of telephone. An appropria-
ton has also been set aside for
building some houses for the EN-
ployes.

STATE EXHIBIT
BY UNCLE SAM
Secretary of Agriculture to
Participate in Mime
sofa State Fair

An announcement has been made
by Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
that his department has decided to
participate in the Minnesota State
Fair to be held the coming fall.
While the department exhibit
will not be as elaborate as original
ly contemplated, Secretary Wilson's
decision is important, inasmuch as
this is the first time the Department
of Agriculture has ever co-operated
in an official way with the great
state fair held annually in Mime
sofa.
AS result of Secretary Wilson's
announcement, which was made
June 26 in communication to Re-
preventative Tawney, steps have
already been taken to induce the
department to authorize like ex-
hibit at the Wisconsin state fair.
In his letter to Mr.. Tawney, Sec
rotary Wilson says that arrange
ments have been made to provide a
good roads exhibit, grain exhibit,
such as was presented at the Corn
Palace at the Omaha Exposition,
and practical demonstration as to
the progress the departments max
ing in helping the farmers to get
ting field crops.
DR.. Galloway, chief of the bureau
of plant industry, was called into
conference by Secretary Wilson be-
fore the decision was reached to
have representation at the Mime
sofa fair. As a result it was decid-
ed that Leslie A. Fitz, in charge of
the grain laboratory at Fargo, N.
D., should be sent to the Minnesota
Fair to illustrate what the depart
ment is doing to help grain pro-
ducers of the Northwest.
From the bureau Of good roads
will be sent an official Who will lee
ture at the fair on methods of road
construction, and if possible prac-
teal demonstration will be given
at stated periods.
The suggestion that the federal
government participate in the State
Fair was made by First Vice Presi-
dent Furlong, of Austin. Mr..
Tawney brought it to the secretary
of agriculture, with the result as
outlined.

Large Sales of Pig Iron


Large sales of pig iron have been
made in the eastern territory during
the week. The contracts, east of
the Allegheny mountains have ag-
gregated slightly in excess of 1O0,-
900 tons of foundry forge, basic
and mallable Bessemer, while in the
Pittsburg territory orders for steel
making iron and mallable Bessemer
have aggregated 10000 tons. In
the east about one-fourth of the
tonnage placed has been for basic
iron for delivery over the last quar-
ter and rs cents per ton advance
has been obtained on portion of
the contracts placed. The sales of
foundry iron have included only a
small additional tonnage for the In
ternational Harvester Co. and the
American Radiator Co. The most
significant buying has been done
by the railroads and railroad equip
ment shops, but pipe works, man.
ufacturers of textile machinery, of
machine tools, hardware and gen.
era1 jobbing founders have been
prominent purchasers.
A large part, probably nine
tentlis of the business has gone to
Buffalo, New Jersey and Eastern
Pennsylvania producers. Since
July 1 eastern contracts have reach
ed 100000 tons and in Pittsburg
territory 10000 tons.
Liberal contracts have also been
placed for grey and mallable iron
castings and large sales have been
made of hardware, notably butts
and hinges. In finished and semi
finished steel products additional
liberal contracts have been made,
although there has been a decrease
in the volume of orders placed for
fabricated structural steel and wire
products. There are more inquir-
les, however, for plain structural
material and important orders are
pending for car works and bridge
shops. There is more active de-
mand for billets and blooms, in
quiries aggregating 10000 tons.
Contracts for rails have been
placed for so, 900 tons of heavy and
light sections and $4,000 tons for
re-rolling rails. Railroads have
placed orders for bridges and via
ducts calling for 10, 900 tons of steel
shapes, but building orders actually
placed have been only 1000 tons,
while orders for forgings and cast
ings call for 5000 tons, making
structural orders about Is, 900 tons.
Additional car orders have been
placed for 5000 railroad cars and
1000 mining cars while orders are
also pending for $500 steel under
frames for cars, calling for $4,000
tons of steel.
Most of the steel mills are unable
to make shipments under six to
eight weeks and many of them not
for three months. Premiums of 81
to So per ton are being paid for
prompt shipment and even higher
prices for small lots to be shipped
from stock.

Most Striking Argument for Tariff
Reform.

Farmers Advocate. Charles Town.
Charles Town merchant i'm opening a
consignment of granulatcd sugar few
days ago found in one Of the barrels a
placard bearing these words.
This sugar could be bought for . cents
II pound If the tariff were taken off.
Write to your congressman and senators
and ask them TO vote for free sugar"
This little device of the sugar rcfincr
contains most striking argument for
tariff reform. Sugar in one form or other
is one of the largest items in the yearly
expenses of the family. Statsticians of
the highest authority assert that il costs
as much in the course of year as does
the flour supply OF the average family.
Accepting this as fact we have little
difficulty in asccrtaining how much the
sugar tariff taxes the people of Jefferson
county. II is entirely within reason TO
say that we spend $S5, 900 year for SUI
gar. II IL not unreasonable to say that
half of this expense is due 10 the tariff
that taxes imported sugar. In other
words, the people of Jefferson county pay
SlO,O TO $50, 900 year more for sugar
than they would have to pay were sugar
on the free list
Some conception OF the enormity ofthis
tax can bc had 10y comparing il with the
amount we pay in direct taxes for the
support of our local government. The
S4O,0 or $50, 900 paid in extortionate
prices ON sugar is greater in amount than
what Is paid for the support Of our pub
lie schools added 10 what is required TO
maintain our public roads.
This subject OF the sugar tariff will
come up in congress at an extra session
TO be called soon, when il is proposed to
revise the tariff schedules. Hon. George
9. Sturgiss, your member of congress, will
have hand in the work OF revision, as
will also Senators Elkins and Scott. If
you believe that cheaper sugar would be
good thing for our people; il you be-
bevc that it would be better 10 keep here
that $4,000 or $4,000 that goes out of
the county every year 10 line the pockets
OF the sugar trust magnatcs, write 10 your
representatives in congress requesting
them 20 do what they can in having the
tariff taken off sugar
