NO HOPE GIVEN
INSURANCE MEN

Washington. Jan. 20. - President
Taft today. addressing the annual
meeting of the Association of Life In.
surance Presidents, held out no hope
for the enactment OF federal law to
govern the companies. and advised the
insurance men to bend their efforts
to obtain uniform legislation In the
states.
"The United States may not find in
the constitution the right TO render
uniform the insurance business" said
the president Certainly the supreme
court seems TO have settled that queS,
tion. And your only resource. there.
fore, is to obtain such common action
by the states that the result will be
similar TO single federal act controll-
ing the business.
The only function that the United
States can perform Is TO pnss a model
law In the District OF Columbia and
show what congress believes TO be the
best kind of an insurance law
The association discussed plans for
conservation of the public health. DR..

The Growth
of Light

ideas, magnificence and display
have gradually grown from the simple
homespun garments OF Colonial Days
until our ideas and business are COW
cred like garment OF ivy clingiDg
TO the castle wall
Display In business seems TO be the
main feature and aim for attaining
success. A few years ago merchants
were happy and contented selling
goods without elaborate show cases
and expensive windows. but the de.
mands of our day and time have
changed all that. The cost OF cloth.
ing, hardware and groceries have In.
creased, while rates and charges for
electric current have not increased,
but the demand for Increased lllumL
nation has exceeded former and earl
Ter requirements until, the brilliancy
OF commercial illumination has be-
come big item in our operating ex-
pense.
The rates for electricity have re-
mained the same, but the demand for
1t and the amount used has increased
over 200 per cent In the last few
years.
The new electric lamp, known as
the Tungsten. has proved to be edu-
catlonal and an object lesson besides.
The promises Of reduction In current
for this lamp have not proved true in
many instances on account OF tho un-
usual brllliancy obtained, which has
lead consumers TO increase the size
and number OF lamps used.
In my recent ad, entitled "Of In
terest TO the Public" told you that
these lamps only require IL watts |
per candle OF light produced as com
pared TO 6-l0 watts required by the |
Edison or carbon lamp. But ln near
ly every case the monthly consump- |
tion of current has increased by In
creaslng your illumination.

FARMERS TRAIN AND
LECTURE BY PROF. GRUBB

The demonstration train Of the
Oregon Short Line Railroad company,
coneleting of FIVE cars. spent three
hours IN Ogden yesterday afternoon,
during which time prominent agricul-
turists and horticulturists OF Weber
county visited them and listened to
the beneficial talks by the corps of OK
perts who are accompanying them
A great interest ls being taken in
the new movement by the railroad
company throughout the state Of Utah
and Idaho, which are tributary to the
Oregon Short Line Railroad company
II the public take advantage OF the op-
portunity to attend the lecture cars
on this. their initial. trip. 1t ia very
probable the experiment will be re-
peated In the future.
The principal speaker on the trip.
and who addressed the very large
number of Weber county people who
were present. was Prof E. II. Grub
OF the Colorado Agricultural college.
who delivered lengthy talk on how
to raise potatoes. President A r
Haywood of the Weber club acted as
chairman of the meeting and intro,
duced the speakers, who included, In
addition to Prof Grubb, Profs. L. NJ
Merrill and E d. Ball Of the Agri-
cultural college at Logan. and j. Ed.
ward Taylor, secretary Of the State
Board of Horticulture. Special appa-
ratus. charts, eac. are carried TO IL
lustrate the lectures
In part Prof Grubb spoke as fol-
lows:
II may be pardoned if say that I
have devoted more time. more thought
and more work all my life TO the cul.
ture of the potato than any other man.
No food used on the table by the
American people Is so little known as
the plain potato. 1t probably forms
one-flfth of the food of the American
people, and it should be given greater
consideration. There has been no at.
tention paid to the quality and the
flavor Of the potato.
II the potato crop OF Europe were
spoiled l don't know how many peo-
pie would go hungry. The potato
crop OF Europe exceeds all the grain
crops of the United States. The crop
in Germany is two billion bushels
annually In the British Isles there
are more potatoes grown than In the
whole United States. For one and n
half centuries livestock breeding on
two continents has been given the
benefit of great minds and meat ami
mails have been brought to the very
highest state of perfection Despite
that fact, very little attention has
been paid by the government or state
agricultural colleges to the wonderful
food product known as the potato
Let me say chat the irrigating
