intensity interest in the investigation
of the secretary's connection with the
Cunningham claims. Hoyt, attorney
general of Porto Rico, gave testimony
strongly corroborative Of that of CLAWS
and OF the charges made against Mr..
Ballinger. Hoyt. himself clean cut
virile man. made a strong impression
upon the committee we are told.
But the testimony which Will startle
Is the corroborative evidence given be-
fore the senate committee on terri
tories, testimony which gives Claws
charge that a big steal was on COM
plete foundation. The Morgan Guggen-
heiner interests were before the COM
mittee TO testify and they told freely
that the cunningham coal properties
are worth s25 900 900 and that the Nor
n-Guggenheimer railroad will control
the vast coal fields of Alaska, the value
of which these representatives estimate
at 5000, 600, 1000, one figure less than
billion.
However, this confession Of attempt
by private interests to loot the public
domain of billion dollars does not
convict Secretary Ballinger of compile

answer and for the completest and
most searching going over of all his
acts in connection with the Cunning

SELF HELP IN TOWN BUILDING.
CChariton Herald-Patriot.]
1t Is all right to talk about attracting
factories and other new industries to
town, and some towns do 1t and
once in awhile make it pay, but we
believe that the industries that are
usually found in town the size Of
Charlton are those that were started
by home men and have grown up from
small beginnings. Unless a town has
men who are willing to invest in fac
tories and ability to push them to sue
getting factories. The immense Charter
Oak wagon factory at Fairfield was
started there, on capital furnished by
home men. The great malleable iron
works at Fairfield were started there,
by homo men, with their own capital.
The Murphy calendar printing plant at
Red Oak, employing 500 to 400 people,
was started right there in Red Oak, by
Osborne g. Murphy, and capital was
supplied by men in Red Oak who had
money. The O'Brien wagon works at
Shenandoah were started the same
way. The big Shambaugh Touring
company at Clarinda was built up right
at home. The Isle Manufacturing
Company at Clarinda, employing 100 to
100 skilled men, built up right there,
and Ciarinda men supplied the capital
to start it. All the talk about attract
ing new industries amounts to nothing
unless the men right here at home are
willing to invest their money in new
industries. Men capable of building
up big industries are plentiful. but
they rarely have capital If men with
capital will back the men with the
ability. factories can be built up right
here in Charlton. or anywhere else. But
capital from other towns is not likely
20 come floating into Charlton to invest
in factories. If we are to have fac
tories, we will have TO build them up
ourselves. like other towns do that have

How the Public is Skinned.

Not only the retailer is giving the
consumer a bunk" game. New York
has a combination butter cutter and
weigher which cuts sixty-four one
pound packages from sixty pound
firkin of butter. The machine registers
the weight before the purchase.
The size of the regula ton 10 cents
package of oatmeal, put up by one firm,
has been decreased The difference is
not easily apparent, unless the pur-
chaser has saved the boxes of last year
Putting the two up side by side. it is
then quite clear why the family appe-
tite for the morning cereal has appar-
emily increased. Potatoes, too, should
be watch ed. The legal weight is sixty
pounds to bushel, or fifteen to a peck
Practically nowhere, unless By accident,
does retail store sell fifteen pounds
The average given the customer is thir-
teen pounds and two ounces, with an
occasional rise to fourteen pounds, but
never more than that. Protest is I'M
awaiting, for as one grocer remarked,
he wasn't able 10 get full weight him
self when he did his buying.
Not the least Of the offenses is in
dried fruit. Dieticians recommend dried
fruit as an economy in the winter,
Wnen the IreSN lrull Is 50 expensive,
but the manufacturers are not bent
in assisting economy. The boxes lab
eled as containing one pound or five
pounds, may weigh that when they
started on their travels, but by evapor-
alton some ounces have been lost. It's
like the school sponges which were sold
the city some years ago." declared a
grocer. They were paid for by the
pound, SO the firm furnishing them to
the city weighed them wet
Now that dry beans and peas have
been ordered to be measured by the
pound rather than by the quart, the
consumer is also TO lose few more
cents Beans which formerly sold at
10 cents quart are now to be sold at
that much, for the pound altho there
is the difference Of more than an ounce
The ordinary purchaser will see that
the price OF beans is the same, and
S-okahIy won't sion to have them
weighed,

A JOKE ON DOC"

The joke is on a well Unknown DEL
vein physician and is a good one. The
other night he attended a social func-
ton and didn't get home till morning
about 2 o'clock. AS a natural conse-
quence he did not get up the next
morning at the usual hour and at 8
a. m. was still snoozing in his little bed
A man and his better half. residing in
a neighboring town, had made date
with him for the afternoon, but changed
their mind and came to town on
morning passenger. They went to his
office and sat down to wait. Suddenly
the telephone bell in the office rang,
and the doctor awakened from sleep,
sprang up and attired only in his
mighty" ran out into the office to
answer the phone, not thinking that
there would be patients there. Well,
when he rushed out into the office in
strictly undress uniform there was
CONSERVATION all around. The genial
doctor made a hurried retreat with fly
ing shirt tails and his good wife made
the necessary explanations to the
couple from up the line.

The restoration of 1000 900 acres of
land to settlement out of the forest
reservations is the result Of policies
urged and classification methods adopt
ed by the former United States for
ester, Mr.. Clifford Pinchot. In making
the wholesale forest reservations ii was
inevitable that considerable tracts more
valuable for certain other purposes
than for forestry-especiaIly such lands
as would have to be planted in trees
should be embraced in these large
areas. It was Mr.. Pinchot's idea that
all these lands in doubtful place in the
national scheme should be examined
and classified. AS result OF this clas-
sifcation the 1000, 900 acres are to be
opened to settlement. This leaves $780,
900, 900 acres--in round numbers-in
the national forests.
1t is not strange that an effort should
be made by certain partisans in Wash
fngton to deprive Mr.. Pinchot of the
credit he has merited In this discrim-
mating and practical policy and to give
credit to Secretary BallinSer. who has
had nothing whatever to &c With

tMonteZuma Republican,
As we sit here tonight and let our
mind go back a space OF time we see
ourselves in the happy, foolish times
OF making love and being very much
fond Of somebody. We see many happy
parlor scenes in which some fair ma i'd
en- and our own self are the principal
actors in the little drama which is be-
ing enacted with no one but we two
as an audience. Coming most wildly
in our mind is one or two scenes of a
clandestine nature. We go back to the
little house on the hin and see our
selves waiting in the orchard for the
object Of orr affection: we wait for
time and our vigil is rewarded by thes
appearance of the person who at that
time is more than all else in the world
to US, and for an hour or more there Is
much said and there are many looks
given which haunt US even to this day.
1t is AL as plain to US tonight as if it
were but yesterday. The stars of the
spring night are shining down upon US,
the fog and the mist is lowering over
the bottoms as we remove our overcoat
and put it around the shoulders of the
girl and then we taken the coat girl
and all in our arms and all the world
is forgotten. We each take our turns
in telling how fond we are of one an
other and we hold her tighter and as
we sit on the cold ground meath the
old apple tree" we feel that the vows
we say and hear are really inspired.
And as We think of this thing tonight
we feel sure that the compacts made
on that night have never been broken.
We are sure that we spoke the truth
in all we said and altho matters sonar
a,ed US shortly, and the girl Is now
another mans wife and we are another
Woman's husband, we can not help but
feel that there is still platonic friend

est things their true Importance and
assists men and women to be better
mentally and physically is worthy due
consideration and fair trial from
every individual. So, while these talks
concern the housekeeper more closely
perhaps than they do men. the latter
are not exempt from at least an honest
interest in their subject matter.
Those who have anything to do with
stock know how important it is that
the animals be properly fed in order
that they may be suitable for their
special purpose. Men give great deal
of study to the different methods Of
feeding cows and pigs. They talk
wisely about whether it is better to
feed corn or peas for fattening pur-
poses. They are careful, too, to see
that the soil on which the apple Or
chard is planted contains the proper
elements to make strong. productive
trees. But when it comes to the daily
bill of fare for human beings the aver
age man and woman give it very little
thought At least it is the common
rule to eat what is set before IN or
what our fancy and appetite suggest.
until we have so long disregarded the
la WIS of nature that our digestive or
gans rebel. and we can't eat even the
plainest food without discomfort.
1t is fact that the average person
knows less about his own anatomy
and the functions Of his body than
about almost any other subject. Think
for 4 moment Of the many noted men
who are laid aside in early middle life
because their digestive organs are
worn out. And NO wonder they refuse
to perform their duties! We wouldn't
treat q thrashing machine as we treat
ourselves and not expect the machine
to be good for nothing inside SIX
months. The illustration u more near
~ parallel with the case than perhaps
you think. The man feeds his engine
with coal and wood In order to get en-
ergy from 1t. He also expects to get
energy. growth and continued life from
his food: at least that is the true rea-
son why be eats. Yet bow many men
and women are there who from an or
binary bill Of fare can select the foods
which build tissue-make brain and
blood-and which are most suitable for
the productihn Of heat and energy?

Associates.

~ HE purpose OF this series OF ar.
tcies will be an attempt to show
the direct relation between do
nestle science and ordinary af.
fairs in the life of either men or wo-
men. Too many people have conceived
the idea that domestic science chiefly
concerns those people who have more
time for theorizing than for actual
work. These think the subject deals
largely with air castles Of the Bellamy
style of architecture and contains little
real help for present day homemak-
ers. There are some who still hold the
opinion that such is the meaning and
scope Of domestic science, but their
number Is rapidly decreasing on &C.
count of the introduction Of the study
of scientific homenaking into public
schools. high schools and colleges. To
be an aid to huusekeepers who cannot
take advantage Of these courses Of
study as prescribed in schools and COL
Ieges is the aim of this series OF talks.
One of the chief purposes of domes-
tic science is to teach men and women
how to live rightly. how to use ma

as much as women. and it means

ed idea that Ii has most to do with

These things are Of course included in
the study and. l assure you. that even
these exceedingly common affairs of

the wonderful process OF living than
is usually accorded them.

HOW cox SAVED HIS CORN.

William Cox, who lives south OF
town, was a caller at this office Satur-
day. He was fortunate enough to get
his corn all husked before the snow
came. His neighbors predicted that he
would have a lot Of spoiled corn. but
he ventilated his cribs by running sew
eral strings of tile thru the corn, and
SO far he has found no spoiled corn.
His seed corn was all gathered before
the hard freeze, in October, but he has
been testing it. and finds that only
about half Of it will grow. At a sale

AN iNEOUITABlE TAX?

News from Washington to the effect
that internal revenue collectors can
now assure corporation managers that
the affairs Of their companies will not
be made public except upon permission
of the secretary Of the treasury, Will
result in an avalanche of reports from
corporations, which would not other
wise have been fled without litigation.
However. the method adopted OF ad-
hitting the error and seeking its cor
rection lacks the directness character
istic OF President Taft. To tacitly
agree with congress that the neces-
sary appropriations to make public the
affairs OF corporations will be with
held in order to annul that portion Of
the statute may nave the practical ef-
feet OF correcting one very serious
error in the law, but il is a mere sub
terfuge
Ii the publicity clause OF the corpora
ton tax law is bad that portion Of the
law should be repealed or amended and
an executive message TO a willing con-
sresz should recommend the remedies.
Conserving to an annulnent OF
part Of the statute by choking of an
appropriation openly acknowledges
the defeat of the law while evadins
