Railroad News
Rail COMMISSION
TO DARLINGTON
LAST SESSION OF YEAR WILL BE
HELD AT DARLINGTON.

Darlington, N. d, Dec. .5.--The state
railroad commission meets in this city
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday In
the last stated meeting of the year.
For the first time in years the state
railroad commission is a continuous
body, each of the three members who
now constitute the board having been
reelected to serve another term. The
board has recommended the adoption
of an amendment to the constitution
whereby the terms of the commits
sioners in the state will hereafter be
heightened to six years, the purpose
being to obtain a continuous body.
Under the present plan, with only two
year terms, there is an opportunity
for shifting in the membership that
proves disastrous to the work of the
board.
The proposed amendment to the con-
stitution was presented to the last
legislative assembly. and win come UP
again this year. 1t requires favorable
action at the hands of two legislative
assemblies and vote Of the people to
amend the constitution.

OCEAN MAIL SERVICE

Special ocean mail service designed
to save time in foreign correspon.
dence. A letter from San Francisco
to London, requires as much time in
crossing the continent as it does
crossing the ocean. A New York rner-
chant writing to Yokahoma must post
letter practically a week before the
steamer sails from San Francisco al
Vancouver. The Western Union has
arranged for the use of it's night let
ter and other telegraphic service in
connection with outgoing mails 50
that this week of trans continental
time may be saved. Its New York
office will receive. kilograms from any
point of the country destined to Eu-
ropean addresses and will forward
them in sealed specially addressed en-
velopes by the first outgoing Atlantic
steamer mail.
The same plan will be found in San
Francisco, Seattle and Vancouver for
trans Pacific mail This will enable
correspondence to be dispatched from
any part of the United States for an
ocean mail within few hours Of sail
ing time. The only charge in addi-
ton to the usual telegraph tolls to
the ocean mail port will be cents
postage kilograms should bear the
full mail address of the foreign corr
respondent for whom they are intend
ed and marked Care ocean Mail,
New York." San Francisco, Seattle or
Vancouver, as the case may be. No
charge will be made for this address.

BUY RED CROSS SEALS

Red Cross Christmas Seals dat.
back In their origin to charity
stamps" first used for the soldiers
relief funds in Boston in 1862, DURING
the civil war After the war This
method Of raising money was discon-
tinued in this country for a genera
ton, although it found vogue in Portu-
gal, Switzerland, Austria. France
Spain, Denmark, Norway, Russia
Sweden and other European countries
There are now several hundred diff
ferent types of charity stamps used in
all parts of the world.
Stamps or seals were first used to
get money for the anti-tuberculosis
crusade In Norway and Sweden in
1904. After being used in these conn
tries for three years, as a direct re-
suit OF the interest of Jacob Riis In
this movement, the Delaware Anti
tuberculosis association, headed by
Miss Emily p. Bissell, and the Red
Cross society Of Delaware combined
In issuing tuberculosis stamp. So
successful was this campaign that
nearly $4,000 was realized. and the
next year, in 1908, the American Red
Cross was induced to issue a national
Red Cross tuberculosis stamp. From
this sale $4,000 was realized, that
amount being almost doubled in 1909
This year, for the first time. the sale
is organized on comprehensive basis
taking in all parts of the United
States. A million for tuberculosis work

the big speakers appearing on the pro
gramme and in his address he related
the experiments and records that had
been kept Of cows in Wisconsin, Iowa
and Illinois. The talk was illustrat-
ed by charts, bringing out the fact
that the only way to know what the
cows are doing is to keep. records. The
value of cow testing associations was
also brought out. In Denmark these
associations have raised the yield per
cow from an average of 100 pounds of
butter fat in 1884 to 215 in 1910. In
Sweden from 272 pounds in 1900 to 4O1
In 1905. If the COW is to give milk
she must be supplied the milk making
ingredients in the food, and In the
right proportions. The best profit
comes from feeding the COW all she
will eat up nicely. n

awarded as follows: Creamery:

Superintendent Hoverstad, Prof. G.

turned Saturday from Grafton where
they have been attending the Walsh
county institute and dairy conyen-
vention. The meeting was a big sue
cess and was widely attended by the
farmers of the northern part of the
state.
At the sessions Friday Mr.. Palmer
was one of the principal speakers on
the programme and gave a splendid
address on the corn growing situa-
ton. He stated that one of the rea-
sons why corn should be grown was
on account of its preparing the soil in
SO fine shape for the following crop of
grain. 1t has all the advantages of
the bare fallow and none of it's disad-
vantages. And had the further adj
vantage that it furnishes a valuable
crop, and the best way to prepare 1t
Tor the COW is by putting it into the
silo. There was also a fine DISPLAY
OF corn that had been grown by the
school children. After the talk there
was lively discussion of corn; how

The SOap Tree.

The soap tree is another product of
the st. Cloud region which is attracting
much attention. 1t grows luxuriantly
in the st. Cloud region. 1t is a peculiar
tree, belonging to the natural order
sapid dacea, and it is indigenous in
many parts of the State. 1t is the only
place outside of the tropics that it
grows. The soap is contained in a pulpy
fruit, which is much used in washing
and also for toilet soap. The berries
also yield a very fine oil, the uses of
which are not yet much exploited.
The tallow tree also grows well. The
seeds of this yield a white vegetable
tallow. which the Chinese obtain by
crushing and boiling and skimming off
the tallow from the surface. They also
get gum from il from which copal
varnish is made. The tallow has been
used very successfully for making fine
soaps and candles. The tree is very
beautiful at the approach of Winter
when the leaves become a bright red,
among which hang the white seeds sus-
pended by threads.
