MAKING THE PRICE OF WHEAT.
David Lubin and the international In
stitute Of Agriculture.

David lubin and the international In
stitute Of Agriculture.
David Lubin. one of California S
great merchants and philanthropists,
was brought to America when n child
by n widowed mother. He sold pa
pers. learned a trade i'm the Ghetto Of
New York, and at length went to
California.
There in time he established n great
merchandising business and also
founded the California Fruit Growers
association. which made 1t possible.
Through cooperation of the fruit
raisers and the railroads, to place
California fruits in every market Of
the country.
Then Lubin became interested in
wheat, says HamptOn's. When he
had produced a crop he went to the
San Francisco buyers and got their
price.
IF l sell for that I lose money" he
said. 'WhO decides that price for
me?"
The dealers shrugged their should
ers. but they could not answer his
question. They knew that was the
| the Chicago Board of Trade.
Lubin went to Chicago and was
told that the Board of Trade received
| its quotations from New York He
went to New York and learned that
Its prices came from Liverpool. He
went to Liverpool and there found
out who makes the worlds wheat
market.
He learned that a small group Of
rich Liverpool grain dealers controlled
private systems for gathering crop
information from the whole world
and by so doing they controlled prices.
They got the first information about
the worlds crops. kept it to them
selves, made their prices according
| ly and speculated on a sure thing.
Lubin decided that what those men
did for their own profit the nations
ought to do for the benefit of the
whole people. He proposed q univer-
| sal clearing house of crop informa-
ton and he carried his idea to one
government after another, explained
| 1t to economists and at length King
Victor Emanuel offered the services
of the Italian government to lay his
project before the governments of
| the world.
So In 1905, by invitation of the
king of Italy, thirty nations sent dele
cations to a conference in Rome to
develop Lubln's scheme into a prac-
tlcal working project. Lubin went az
delegate from the United States.
The italian king set aside from his
personal fortune a handsome endOw-
ment for this new international insti-
tute Of agriculture In consideration
of Rome being made its headquarters,

YORKVILLE MONUMENT WORKS

YORkVIlLE. S. c.

Monument dealers the country over
carry practically the same line Of de-
signs, and usually the customer must
take not what he wants, but the near
est thing he can find to it i'm the list
submitted.
Or in other words he must take one
of the regular stock designs and con-
sequently gets a duplicate of hundreds
of other monuments already erected
and all exactly alike except possibly in
the quality of the work and material.
We make a speciality of giving our
customers exactly what they want;
taking their ideas and combining them
with our experience we endeavOr to
work out an original design, which in
the completed monument reflects the
taste and individuality of the pur-
chaser.
If you want something above the
average, let us make it for you. 1t
will cost you no more than the ordi-
nary kind.

ReIuian Rishops.

The Belgian bishops have addressed
a striking pastoral to their people on
the accession of King Albert L This
document opens as follows:
You have religiously taken part in
the country's recent mourning. Our
priests have offered the Holy Sacrifice
our faithful have prayed and received
communion for the repose of the soul
of the great king whom Belgium has
just lost, and whose renown, contrary
to the lot usually reserved to human
glory, will, we doubt not, go on increas-
ing as the lapse of years shall permit
a truer appreciation of the immense
services rendered by his great and per-
severing initiative to Christian civiliza-
ton. The religious marriage of the
king and his so manifestly Christian
death, give us a firm hope that God
has been merciful to him, remember
ing only the higher merits of his royal
career. Condemn not and you shall
not be condemned 'nolite condemnare
ct non condemnabimini.' Let us rather
repeat the charitable prayer which the
church recites over the grave of all her
children who die in union with her"

New Valuable Metal.

Electron is the name of a new metal,
lighter than the lightest hitherto
known. 1t has been compounded in
Germany and a great future is prophe-
sled for it, especially in the construc-
ton of airships, flying machines and
automobiles 1t has not yet been
placed on the market, but the German
technical review, Prometheus, de-
scribes it as a magnesium alloy which
can be cast, pressed, rolled and drawn.
It's specific gravity is LIS to that of
aluminium, the next lightest metal, is
from 81 to 81. AS cast metal it has a
tensile strength of Is Kilograms to the
square milimetaer and ductility of
per cent. After COMPRISING processes
such as rolling or drawing the tensile
strength is raised to 80 Kilograms to
the square milimeter and the ductility
to IS per cent without any notable
increase in it's specific gravity. The
new metal is silver white in color and
lends itself to a brilliant polish.

Theatre.eoIna in Lent.

There are some Catholics who have
rather loose and ill-infOrmed ideas con-
corning the proper observatio of Lent,
especially with reference to attendance
at the theatres and other places of pub
lie amusement during that holy season.
We therefore deem it timely to reprint
the following extract from a sermon
delivered some years ago by Cardinal
Gibbons, which contains much useful
and salutary instruction on this subject.
And now l will say something have
rarely had OCCASION to refer to-the at
tendance of Christians at the theatres
during the holy season of Lent. Now
you will bear me out when l say that
/ am far from being opposed to inno-
cent recreation of healthy enjoyment.
On the contrary, 1 know that they are
necessary to the generality of mankind,
for the bow cannot be kept bent too
long. While we clergymen voluntarily
debar ourselves, we like to see others
enjoy themselves. But 1 would draw
the line at theatres during Lent.
But you will ask me is it sinful to
attend the theatre during Lent? 1 will
not say that it is. 1 believe that the
witnessing of a Shakespearan play is in
structive and ennobling, providing the
performance is not marred by certain
interludes which are calculated to graft
fly prurient tastes.
Christian life does not consist only
in avoiding sin, but in practising vir-
tue. 1t consists in growth in righteous
ness. for growth is the law of both
animal and spiritual life. 1t is a very
hazardous thing to be habitually walk
inE on the battlements of tower over
looking steep precipice. Sooner or
later you may loose your head and fall
over. 1t is a serious thing to be play
ing with fire, or to use a military
phrase. to walk too close to the dead
line. For they tl.at love danger, says
the Scripture, shall perish in it.
If you ask me is it right and proper
and edifying and seasonable and a mark
of sanctification to frequent public or
private theatres in Lent, answer en-
phatically that it is not."-Church
Progress
