one Of the most characteristic things

One Of the most successful frog ranches
in California is owned and managed by
Miss Katherine Walsh, according 10 Her
bert s. Warden. Of san Francisco, who
is al the Arlington.
Like a good many other people now
living I'm the West. Miss Walsh was
forced 70 leave her native State n the
East because Of IN health. Being told
70 live out Of doors. and forced by ne
cess.tv 10 earn her own living. she de-
cided TO raise frogs for the market, and
now she not only owns one or the most
picturesque ranches IN Contra COsto
County. but supports in comfort her
mother and the two children OF the dead
sister"
The net profit Of Miss Walsh's frog
ceries. I was told. was something ike
5000 last year. She sold $500 dozen frog
lees in san Francisco, and that was the
amount cleared. They were all shipped
alive 20 hotels and restaurants, and the
price received was from 81 10 s. a dozen.
Of course, the price Of frog legs. Ike
that of every other variety Of game, de-
ponds on the size and the season.
The native green frog Of California
IS very small" continued AR Warden,
and, while the legs are delicious in taste,
they bring much less money than when
the native frog Is crossed with the large
Eastern frog. According 20 epicures. the
very best frog for the table Is the cross
between the California and the Florida
srecies. With carefully selected stock
this cross produces exceptionally hand
some frogs. and so deliciously favored
as 10 put to blush the hnest Partisan

AT any rate the population Of this

taken now 70 create new farming lands

But where can we get the new lands7
There is only one way Of doing that. and
that is by draining swamp lands and
making dry land arrable This will add

Roosevelt is playing politics said
Dennis II. Reynolds. OF Cleveland, Ohio,
who is a contractor Of that city and is at
the Arlington. And what's more. Teddy
is playing a crude game. He seems 20
have absolutely no consideration for tho
feelings Of the people among whom he
happens 70 dwell or whose hospitality he
is enjoying. He uses the big stick right
and left and the reason foreign people
do not comment on him is because they
think they would offend the American
people. The fact is the American people
are getting heartily sick and tired Of this
circus Of Teddy's. II the German En-
peror or France entertains him IL IS be-
cause they think they can strengthen
their hold on this country
Suppose former Premier Balfour. OF
the British Parliament; Won Buelow, for
mer chancellor OF Germany, or Clemen-
ceau, former premier Of France, should
come to this country and find fault with
our affairs. How would we Ike Il? We
would simply tell them to mind their own
business: 10 go home and sweep before
their own doors. and to apply their IN
genuity 10 upHft and improve their own
countries
Roosevelt is playing politics for al ne
is worth, and everybody is on TO his
game"

Of American hotels. Mr.. Knoll said: THE
American hotels are very fine and lux

natural consequence is that the manage

as 70 how the meal IS served. The main
thing is that il must be served quickly.

ton of the lines of the Chesapeake

chiefly responsible for the develop
ment of the Chesapeake & Ohio into

WHAT THE INSURANCE TRUST
"pREsUmEs" TO DO.

In tho news columns of this paper
today two very remarkable articles
are reproduced from The Insurance
Herald. an Insurance paper published
at Atlanta. Ca, the home OF the
Southeastern Underwriters Associa-
ton. One article appeared under
Newport News date line" purporting
10 have been written in this city, and
the other was dated from Richmond.
Apparently both were written by the
same person. 1t seems apparent too,
that the writer had his information
concerning the local situation from
one of the local insurance agents
--uost subservient to the Trust.
In the Newport News" article, the
writer. for obvious reasons, attempts
sarcasm in his references to Common
wealths Attorney Berkeley, intimating
that the object of the prosecution OF
the insurance men for presuming to
control the price of their own pro-
duct" was to put the commemorative
attorney in the 'limelight." He d.
clares that, THE fact that the Cham
Der of Commerce and city council and
the Merchants Board of Trade hay-
ing nothing TO do in the Inception OF
the prosecution of this case against
the underwriters appears to have no
weight with him whatsoever" As
though the city council and the com
mercial bodies were in the habit OF
instituting prosecutions for violations
of the State law. The writer, In
describing the local situation, how
ever. does not mention that at spe-
cial meeting of the common council
every member present voiced his ap
prevail OF the way the commonwealth
attorney is performing his duty; that
the Merchants Association in special
session adopted strong resolutions
approving the attorneys course; that
the Central Labor Union adopted
similar resolutions. or that two promi-
nent members OF the local bar, who
are substantial and influential citi-
zens rs well as able lawyers. are
voluntarily assisting the common
wealth's attorney in the prosecution OF
the cases Nor did this writer init
nate that. excepting insurance agents
who represent companies affiliated
with the Trust. no man in the entire
community has raised his voice
against the effort to curb the power
of the Trust
The Newport News" article goes
on to say that :; is beginning to be
understood hero that there will be no
ietrsction from the recent ten per
cent. Increase in rates without a
corresponding reduction in city license
