PHILIPPINE TOBACCO STAMP.
Old Form Not a Certificate of Quality
and Purity.

Washington, D. c. secretary
Dickinson has decided to recommend
to the Philippine Government a
change in the form of the stamp that
is now placed upon cigars made in the
islands, SO as to meet the objection
of the domestic cigar manufacturers
that the stamp is misleading.
1t has been contended that the
stamp led consumers to believe that
the quality and purity of the cigars

COUNTRY'S WEALTH IN OIL
Industry That Has Grown to Enor-
nous proportions Within a Few
Years.

The production of oil in the United
States has grown from nothing at the
time of it's discovery to enormous pro-
portions. Millions of barrels have been
taken from the country near the west
ern slope of the Alleghenies in west
ern Pennsylvania, and millions more
from the districts in West Virginia
and Ohio. Indiana has yielded its
share and Illinois has been productive
beyond the dreams of avarice.
It remained, however, for Kansas
and Oklahoma, together with the In
dian Territory, to open the eyes of the
modern driller and capitalists. When
the soil was first TAPPED in the Wild
eating operations of that section
great gushers rewarded the efforts Of
the men who had the courage and cap
ital to engage in the enterprise. The
usual rush followed, but many thou
sands of acres had been already taken
up and the war for supremacy began.

Controlled Nemsnanera.

The Atchison Globe says that no adj
vertiser has ever tried to control its 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 great deal of ad-
Vertising is more interested in The cir
culation department of newspaper
than in the editorial department If a
daily paper goes to the homes of the
people, and is read by them, he is salts
fed, and it 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 a 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 officeseekers, 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 it's 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
it his duty to 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 it possible for him to
carry on the business, he is "subsi-
died" or controlled" The newspaper
owner is 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 publisher is expected to
demonstrate his courage by showing
that he is ungrateful for the patron
age of his friends. 1t is funny COM
bination when you think it over

PERTINENT STATION.)
The split-log drag, or, as it is COM
monty called, the king" drag, is with
out doubt the best implement for
instances is as efficient as any other
implement in the construction of
earth roads.
The king drag can be constructed OF
either a split log or plank, but in
this state the plank is much easier to
obtain than the log, hence this brief
description pertains to the conatruc-
ton from planks.
Select a good yellow pine, ash or
oak plank two inches thick, twelve
inches wide, and fourteen feet long
Cut this in two at an angle so that one
edge of each piece is seven feet and
six inches long and the other edge is
six feet and six inches long. Spike to
the back and alonii the center of each
of these planks Swo-inch by six1nch
piece, which reiHtorces the plank
Bore the holes fcst the cross scekes
about twenty-six inches apart and
four inches from e~rh end with a two
and one half inch suger, using care to
keep the auger perpendicular to the
plank. The two-i1ch by four-inch
brace at the FROM end should start
from the middle Of the rear plank and
drop to the bottom part of the front
plank. The blade, which is generally
made Of stock cutter steel, should be
given the proper cutting slope by
placing wedge-shNped strip between
1t and the plank. One end of the
chain is fastened to a cross stake and
the other passes through a hole in
the plank and is held in position by
means of pin.
The use Of the drag is more salts
factory if the road has first been
crowned with a blade grader, but
whenever this is not convenient and
the traffic Is not too heavy the road
may be gradually brought to a crown
by means of the drag.
The surface of the average country
road should be covered in one round
with the drag. One horse should be
driven on the inside of the wheel
track and the other on the outside,
the drag being set, by means of the
chain, so that it is running at an an
gle of about As degrees with the wheel
track and working the earth toward
the center of the road. In the spring
when the roads are more likely to be
rutty and soft it is generally better
to go over the road twice and in some
places more times.
The drag should be ffoored with
boards which are separated by open
spaces of sufficient width so that the
dirt which falls over will rattle
through and yet they should be close
enough so that the driver can move
about upon the drag quite freely
To insure the successful operation
of the drag it is necessary for the
driver to use careful judgment. Some
times it is essential that the blade be
held down so that the drag will cut
roots and weeds, while at other times
the front edge should not bear too
heavily upon the surface as 1t will dig
out a soft place which would be bet
ter if left undisturbed This regula-
ton of the cutting edge can be ac-
