Consumer and Producer.

But when there is a drop in the
prices of raw food the consumer
does not get the benefit. Farmers
are getting one-fifth to one-sixth less
for cattle and hogs than they got
last winter, but the consumer has
had no reduction. Milk goes up in
price at the time Of year when 1t
should be cheapest. Eggs present the
same condition. The conclusion is
that there Is SO much money in hand
ling food and so little in raising it
that a skilled, rich and powerful class
of food middlemen has developed.
From the big milk and meat COM
panies to the commission men, whole
salers, jobbers and retailers more of
the consumers money is absorbed
than goes to the producers Of the
food. The latter suffer from the de-
preston of prices which the middle
man works as to him while the con-
sumner suffers from the increase of
prices which the same influences
work. The great problem is to de-
wise some way to bring the consumer
and the producer into closer rela-
tionship.

Quaint Liable Manners.

Jerome s. McWade, the Duluth mil

delights of a backwoods vacation.

every summer" he said, "and number
less are the quaint people l meet
there.
"old Boucher, for instance, the jan
itor Of the village church, is most
amusing with his quaint ways. had
old Boucher to lunch n day, and
the cold lobster was served with a
mayonnaise sauce When my servant
offered this sauce to Boucher, the old
man stuck his knife in it, took up q
little on the blade, tasted 1t, then
shook his head and said:
Don't choose none.'"

DAISY FLY KILLER
A Bernhardt Trick.

Nine. Sarah Bernhard, who is sup
posed to be something Of an artist as
well as an actress, was recently called
upon in one Of her marvellous crea-
tons to enact the role of a sculptor,
and to model a certain bust In view Of
the audience. This fairly electrified
the critics, but when going into rhap-
sodies over the technical skill in han
ding the clay which Nine. Bernhard
exhibited they showed that they knew
little Of the artistic tricks of actors
and actresses; as a matter of fact, she
does nothing Of the kind. The bust
is modelled and baked, and over 1t is
placed damp clay Of the same color.
This the talented actress merely pulls
off, exposing the beautifully modelled
head underneath.

PROFITS FOR RUBBER TRUST

The Aldrich.Taft tariff put crude

As Il last resort to avoid further

itself OF its most autocratlC power, the
right to place any legislation III II pref

mittcc on rules today informed mem
bcrs Of the inSlrgcnt faction that they
would either today or the first part Of

ton cmbodying substantially the
schemes Of minority leader Champ

said, while the compromise rule the

to have it, it is distinct victory, one
more victory in the list of reform We

be well satisfied with it.
The resolution presented by the
