President Taft was introduced by Seth
Low, and in opening, he welcomed the
delegates to Washington.
The President made a strong plea for
uniform laws on marriage and divorce,
child labor. and other matters. He said
that there should be uniformity In judicial

that If anything In our system deserved
attack It was the delay that could be
secured by the wealthy under present
judicial proceedings. and he advocated
some change Of form In Federal court
procedure which could be taken as an
example by the States.
The President said that since the adopt
ion OF the Constitution interstate COM
merce has grown 10 such an extent that
! 1t now constitutes the bulk Of the com
merce Of the country, and he said the
time had come. in his opinion, to ''recog-
nize those great izatIons-concen-
| trations Of wealth. plant. and capital
| that do a countrywide business, going
/ into every State, whose business is al
most wholly interstate. to recognize them
as Instruments OF interstate commerce

these was the question Of marriage and
! divorce.

WISE WORDS.

Marriage is always a failure to
those who get left,
We all have our faults, but we pre-
fer to be our own fault finders.

When a man is willing to admit
that he is a crank, the chances are

When a mans money is tied up,
there is nothing like a wife to unite

You can generally tell that a man
is big gun from the way he doesn't
shoot off his mouth.
Some people never even pay their
respects without acting as though
they ought to have receipt,
1t is very Notifying for a woman
to discover that her husband doesn't
love her any more than she loves
him.
1t is sometimes difficult to distin-
guish between opportunity and temp

Water Was All Right.

Discussing in Anoka a certain bat
tie of the Civil War, P. G. Woodward,
commander Of the Minneapolis De-
partment of the G. A. R., said:
That general reminded me of a
waiter in Minneapolis. The general
was too scientific. He was too busy
with causes and effects, with technical
moves and what not, to get results
that is, to win battles.

In restaurant l said to him:
Look at the color of this water.
Why, it's not fit to drink
But the waiter instead Of rush
ing some crystal pure water to me,

self, sir. The waters perfectly all

THE NEW FERTILIZER.

A discovery of far-reaching impor-
lance to the farmers OF the south is
the new fertilizer which has been
perfected on one of the islands near
Charleston, S. c. 1t has long been
known that lime is an essential food
for plants Of all kinds and that they
cannot live when 1t has been exhaust
cd from the soil. 1t has also been
known that old WORKOUT lands are
extremely deficient in lime, and that
sour, badly-drained lands have their
lime In form that 10 not disable by
growing crops.
Farmers Bulletin No 1874, United
States Department Of Agriculture,
says: "All the applications Of lime
increased the yields. The
best yields were obtained with the
lime in the form of carbonate, the
finely ground oyster shells stand!L,
first. Lime with fertilizer
was more profitable than depending
upon fertilizer alone"
This new fertilizer which presents
lime in its most disable form is made
by a new process Of burning oyster
shells and using a burner that can
supply potash The result is a high
grade fertilizer costing the consum
err only $500 per ton. 1t reclaims
worn-out lands in a marvellous man.

COUNTERFEIT FURS.
Muslsrat Skins From Canada Largely
Used as Substitutes.

For a number of years Canada has
been exporting to the United States
about $1,40O,OOO worth of furs am
nually, or about half the Dominion's
output, the remainder going mainly
to Great Britain. Consul M. r. Sack
EFT, Of Prescott, writes:
shipments of raw furs from this
district for the season 190S-9 were
over 100 per cent. in excess Of the
previous season. The prices paid to
the individual trapper were the high
est for years, dealers stating that the
keen market was due to the strength
Of the European demand. For a
prime red fox pelt the trapper real
lied the record price of Sc, or even
more--about double the rate paid
last year. The advance in mink was
not so marked. Fashion demands
longer, bushier fur, such as the fox,
lynx and better grades of skunk, the
last named being largely used by the
expert furrier in the manufacture of
fluffy articles Of wear, but which
would hardly sell at the prices asked
If called by the right name. Mink
was again the fur of greatest value
shipped; its hold in the market is due
to its intrinsic beauty and durability.
The best of the cheap furs is musk
rat, and for this there was a sharp
demand during the last season at
greatly advanced prices, The best
Of these pelts are secured in early
spring, while the best mink fur is
obtained in early winter Mink
caught late is too faded to command
the best price.
"Muskrat fur is generally worn
here by those who are well dressed,
but cannot afford the higher grades
Of fur garments, 1t is used for ladies'
coats, muffs and neck pieces, and in
great quantities as Innings for over
coats for men. A coat lined with the
best grade of muskrat, properly made
and fitted, is far from being a cheap
garment, even in Canada, and is worn
by well dressed men who can afford
the best in the market. Muskrat is
largely used as counterfeit for other
fur, even the costly seal being so
closely initiated as to deceive con-
noisseurs,
