No Wright Aeroplanes Are Entered in
the Race Which is Watched
by Enormous
Crowd.

PARIS, Aug. Sunday saw the be
ginning in Paris of the first aeroplane
race in the world wherein the sched-
ule is fixed weeks ahead and the COM

afternoon, two Bleriot monoplanes
making the best time. They were op-
Grated by LIE Blanc and Aubrun, who
made ninety-three and ninety-nine
miles respectively. No Wright ma,
chimes were entered.
Not since the Grand Prix competi-
| tion for automobiles has such crowds
gathered or has such enthusiasm been
displayed in sporting event. Fol
lowing each other at five minutes in
4 tervals, tine aeroplanes arose and
after swinging around for a momen
over the city, proceeded at full speed
| in the direction Of Troyes.

cBy ]. NJ. MoNRAD)

One of the greatest arguments In
favor OF individual separators is the
prevention of the spread OF tubercu-
losis. Pasteurized separator milk Is
better and safer, because, IL there be
any milk from the cows having tuber-
culosis. you get the milk back pas
teuTized. and get 1t to the calves with
out fear of infection.
III you use hand separator you will
not spread the disease among your
herd advocate that every cream
cry should heat the skim-milk up TO
$50 degrees. They do not quite empty
the cans at the creamery. I guaran-
tee / could go around and collect half
a pint from each can; a little milk
left in the can is a good starter for the
milk that is put into the cans. But IL
you put in the hot skdm-milk at $50
degrees, 1t will sterilize also the little
milk that is left I'm the can.

Controlled Newsnapers.

The Atchison Globe says that no adj
vortiser has ever tried to control it's ed
itorial policy, the remark being occa-
stoned by the charge often made nova
days, that the big advertisers direct
the editorial policy Of newspapers.
The experience OF the Globe is the
experience OF most newspapers. The
merchant who does a great deal of adj
vertising is more interested in the cir
culation department OF newspaper
than In the editorial department. II a
daily paper goes to the homes Of the
people. and is read by them, he is salts
fed, and IL may chase after any theory
or fad, for all he cares. He has troubles
OF his own. and he Isn't trying to shout
der those of the editorial brethren.
There are newspapers controlled by
people outside OF the editorial rooms.
and good many of them, more's the
pity: but the people exercising that
control are not the business men who
pay their money for advertising space
The newspapers which are established
for political purposes are often con-
trolled by chronic ofiiceseekers, whose
first concern is their own interests.
There are newspapers controlled by
great corporations, and the voice of
such newspapers is always raised in
protest against any genuine reform.
The average western newspaper usu-
ally is controlled by its owner, and he
Is supposed to be in duty bound to make
all sorts OF sacrifices at all sorts of
times; there are people who consider
IL his duty 10 insult his advertisers,
just to show that he is free and indie
pendent. If he shows a decent respect
for his patrons, who pay him their
money. and make II possible for him TO
carry on the business, he is ''subsi-
died" or controlled" The newspaper
owner Is q business man, like the dry
goods man or the grocer. The mer-
chants are expected to have considera-
ton for their customers, and they are
not supposed to be subsidized by the
man who spends FIVE dollars with
them, but the publisheris expected to
demonstrate his courage by showing
that he Is ungrateful for the patron
age of his friends. II is funny COM

bleeding from a dozen fesh wounds,
the animal fell exhausted at West
Adams and Morgan streets.
The cub was penitent, and showed
no desire to romp and play until one
of the club officials had tied a red
ribbon about its neck. Then Bruno
frightened up. but did not try to es-

them larger than this, but at the ex-

fawn and white and black and white.
