Mrs. BlIItops Objects to the One In

"As some sage has remarked" said
Mr.. Billtops, the longer we lives the
more we finds out You take, for in
stance, the mending Of a trousers
pocket that has a hole In 1t down at
the bottom, so that you are In danger
of losing out of it your keys or your
pocket knife or such small change as
you may there carry.
Now l supposed there were just
three ways of mending that pocket,
three and no more. One way would
be to put patch on it, another way
would be to cut off the bottom OF the
pocket and sew on new section, and
still another way would be to put In
an entire new pocket; but the tailor
to whom / took these trousers to be
fixed up has shown me fourth way
that made me laugh for its simplicity
and at the same time as thought in
genuity
He just folded over the bottom OF
the pocket high enough up to cover
the hole, and then just stitched the
pocket across through the folded over
part and the main body of the pocket.
this you see something that could be
done in a minute and that at the same
time served It's purpose. ! admired
1t for its ingenuity and effectiveness,
but Mrs. Billtops doesn't look at it

She says that If it's sloppy way
of mending a pocket. that 1t makes
the pocket shallower. for one thing,

that it is not good way, and guess

titles for domestic consumption than
ever before, the philippines contrib,
uted a larger quantity than at any
other time since annexation while the
contributions OF the cane fields of the
United States were slightly less than
in several earlier years. The quaint
ty of sugar sent to the United States
from the Hawaiian Islands. in the fis,
cal year 1910 was ILL million lbs,
against LOIS million in 1908, the for.
mer high record year; from Porto Ri
co, $50 million pounds, against 4SS
million in 1909, the former high record
year; and from the Philippine Islands
17Samillion pounds, total larger than
in any year since 1890. The contri
button of the beet sugar fields of con
tinental United States to the consum
ton of the fiscal year 1910 was LOIS
million pounds, against 967 million
in the high record year, 1907; while
the cane sugar product of the United
States contributed $50 milliono lbs
against S29 million in 1909, the former
high record year. As a consequences
of this increased supply from Hawaii
Porto Rico, the Philippine Islands and
the beet sugar fields of the United
States, the quantity of sugar import
ed from foreign countries fell from
4,106 million pounds in the fiscal year
1909, to 3,9lS million in 1910. .
From these figures it appears thai
the sugar fields of continental United
States supplied about "a per cent OIL
the consumption in this country II
the fiscal wear 1910, the noncontigu
GUS territories of the United States
about Is per cent and foreign coun
tries about 81 per cent. In 1905 Tor
eign countries supplied about So pei
cent of the total; in 1900, IS per cen
and prior to that time, supplied abou
rs per cent of the total sugar con
sumption of the country.
This reduction in the share which
foreign countries are supplying OF thu
sugar consumed in the United States
from an average of about Is per cen
prior to 1900 down to a little more
than so per cent at the present time
is due in part to an increase in thu
production of beet sugar in the Unit
ed States and in part to increased con
tributions from the noncontiguous ter
ritories. In the caIeruar year 1906
the quantity of beet sugar produced
IN the United States was, according
to figures of the Department of Agrl
culture, 1,025 million pounds, agains
70 million in 1899, decade earlier, o
| Is times as much in 1909 as in 1899
The quantity of cane sugar produces
in the country was in 1909 according
to the same authority, $50 million lbs
against 500 million in 1899. The guam
tity of cane sugar brought from Ha
wall in the fiscal year 1910 was, &C
cording to figures of the bureau o
Statistics, LII million pounds, a
against sos million in 1900; from
Porto Rico, 500 million pounds, a
against 70 million in 1900; and iron
the Philippine Islands, 176 million

A PROTEST AGAINST "I0LTS"
Sources Of Discomfort That Destroy
Our Comfort and Help Shorten
Our Lives.

zone need not fear that his liver
will really be jerked out of place
when a trolley car comes to a stop"
says the New York Medical Journal,
'but the sense of such an impending
catastrophe is certainly something
more than Earring of the pleasant
tenor of ones daily life. 1t is source
of discomfort that is needlessly varied
in a thousand ways, and frequently
recurring discomfort amounts to such
wear and tear as must enfeeble the
vital forces and tend In the long run
to the shortening of life, for 1t is the
continual dropping that wears away
stone. The jolts that madden per-
son also serve to undermine his power
of resistance TO the malign agencies
that more obviously threaten his life.
That freedom from agitation which
promotes contentment is we'll known
to be highly conducive to longevity.
Statisticians have demonstrated this
over and over again, and society ought
to exert its full power In the effort to
do away with all avoidable sounces of
discomfort-the heat of the subway
trains, the screeching Of locomotives.
the clang Of bells, the horrid stridor
of motor car horns, and all things else
that go to make life miserable. To be
long lived, we need5to be happy. and
comfort is Indispensable Ito yhappi-

Grain Market.

From four acres VIM. Slnnard OF
Warren CO., got 324 bushels of oats,
an average of 81 bushels per acre.
The average for his other fields was
81 bushels.
1t took a great deal of bear news
and pressure Tuesday from all
classes of traders on the Chicago
Board of Trade to force a break in
wheat of q @1Bc, and very little ex-
port business and buying to make a
complete recovery and strong close,
with prices h@1ac higher.
Corn was weak and lower on the
selling induced by rains and increas-
ed country offerings, but the bulls had
no trouble in making an advance to
the best prices of the day at the last,
with the September only &c lower
and the deferred futures a @Bc high
er. Oats we're under heavy pressure
early, but reacted on scattered buying
and closed at Ac decline for the near
futures and unchanged for May.
Cash sales of grain at Chicago on
Tuesday were 100000 blu. wheat. $780,
600 bu. corn and $4,000 bu oats.
Export sales of wheat in all positions
aggregated $4,000 bu.
Minneapolis reports that rains are
delaying the thrashing, and they are
beginning to talk wet harvest. Re-
ceipts of winter wheat there yesterday
were 124 cars, out of total receipts of
267 cars OF all grades.
Southwestern cash wheat prices
were weak to &c lower Tuesday. Kan,
sas City No. 2 hard sold at about
the same price as September wheat in
Chicago, and the September delivery
there closed at 98&c, or 31ac under

THE CANE OF THE NINE.

An interesting incident connected
with the death of DR.. Salter, of Bur
Iington, is the disposition of the cane
presented about 1866 to the oldest of
the survivors of the Nine. 1t was to
be held by him until his death; then
passed I'd the next Oldest, and so on
until it became the property of the
last survivor. And so in 1907 it came
into the possession of DR.. Salter. The
name of the first possessor and the
date of presentation, was cut on a
plate and fixed upon the cane, and a
similar inscription added upon each
transfer of the instrument, and 1t
passed, in all, through five or six
hands. 1t will now be placed in the
museum of Iowa College, Grinnell,
and will remain a valuable relic and
memento of Nine. Our fellow citizen,
Mr.. Robert Turner. is a son of Rev.
Asa Turner, the first missionary OF
the Congregationalists in Iowa, and
the founder of Denmark Academy,
through whose efforts the services OF
the Nine was secured to push forward
the work of the church in the new
country.

Market Notes,

Every market in the west is delug
ed with cattle. No explanation is ne
cessary, as the dry weather destroyed
pastures. Hay is scarce and must be
husbanded and liquidation of serious
nature is now in full swing.
The cattle trade Tuesday was quiet
and void of feature. Little change
was detected in the market of any
class, the supply being largely of low
grade stuff.
Steady prices ruled in the stockel
feeder class of cattle Tuesday. The
market was quiet, but dealers picked
up the fresh arrivals without much de
lay on an unchanged basis from Mon
day. Traders generally expressed the
belief that the rain af late and the
decline in values on Monday would
be joint influences in bringing out a
broader country demand.
While it was but steady market
