wIckERsHAm SAYS NO
Never Acted as Attorney for the
Sugar Trust.

Washington. March 30.-AttOrney-
General Wickersham formally denies
that he had ever acted as attorney
for the sugar trust" as charged by
Representative Martin Of Colorado
in the House several days ago.
This denial was in the form of a
letter to Representative Bennett of
New York and was read in the House
Mr.. Wickersham said the only rea-
son he knew for the making OF such
charge was the fact that one of his
law partners was three years ago re-
tanned as one of the counsel Of the
American Sugar Refining company IN
single case, but he (Mr. Wicker
sham had never been consulted nor
did he render any service in connec-
ton with that case.
Representative Martin was not in
the House at the time the letter was
read by Mr. Bennett but when ad-
vised on the matter secured a copy of
the attorney generals letter. Mr.
Martin announced that he intended
to carry his charges against the de-
partment of justice to a definite con-
clusion. He now has resolution
pending for an investigation of the
acquisition of friar lands in the Phil
ippines by the Havemayer interests.
Mr.. Martin said in an interview:
The attorney general you will OBJ
serve carefully avoided making any
denial of the principal features of my
charges to wit: That his decision
gave the sugar trust $4,000 acres of
friar lands for price less than the
government paid for it and that there
was no warrant of law for such a de-
cision. The law plainly limits the
sale OF public lands to any one per.
son or company to $500 acres and
there is no question of the friar
lands being public lands.
Mr.. Wickersham says that his
partner who | understand was Henry
w. Taft a brother of the president,
and not he, was attorney for the sug-
ar trust. This form of disavowal
will not carry much weight.
Il shall continue my efforts to
show up what believe is but the be-
ginning of gigantic grab of the friar
lands of the Philippines by the sugar
trust, all made possible by an I'M
warranted decision of the attorney
general. | shall decide upon fur.
Their course within a day or two.
There are 100000 acres of these
friar lands in the Philippines, acquir-
ed by the government at a cost OF ST.
100000 which is SIS per acre. The
sugar trust acquired $4,000 acres for
Sc an acre.

Farmers! Nix Your own Fertilizer.

Farmers! Mix Your Own Fertilizers
Do you know that home-mixing OF
fertilizers has proved to be the most
economical and satisfactory method
of procuring fertilizers? 1t is now
generally conceded by up-to-date ag
riculturalists that better results are
obtained by buying the crude mater
ials and mixing fertilizers especially
adapted to the different crops you
raise, and the varying conditions of
the soil found on the farm.
If you win send us your name on a
postal with a request therefor, we

Der of formulas which were made up
for us by the Director of the Vermont
Experiment Station and which have

CHANGED TO A QUEEN

Dear Aunt Laurie:
a beautiful young girl was once wan
dering through the woods when small
door before her suddenly opened and
a magician stood before her.
What do you wish?" he asked.
The girl gasped, but as she was very
imaginative soon answered:
Turn my poor cabin into a glittering
palace and make me the beautiful
queen of the palace and all the coun-
try"
The magician Immediately did this,
and when the queen looked around he
was gone.
She was very happy for about year,
but then king came seeking her hand
whom she could not love, but all the
great men of the palace told her she
must marry him except one, her coun-
selor, named Hugh.
One time she was in her throne
room and called Hugh to her.
When they were alone she told him
of her life. saying And now J. would
