the authorities on locust lore and sup
erstition are sure he will, and they have
never been mistaken in the past. No
one seems to know exactly where the
seventeen-year locust comes from, but
it is matter of record that be does
show up regularly just the same.
And the thing that is interesting the
farmers and the old-timers most is
whether he will bring a "W" on his
wings or up, I" as is hoped. "W" on
a seventeen-year locust's wings means
war. There is no reason under the sun
that is known as to why IL should be
always either "W' or "P," but these
are the only two letters that have been
noticed. And also the locust lore ex-
perts have good deal of statistical
backing when they assert that if the
"W" is on the wings it will surely mean
war, and if the opp is on the wings it
will just as surely mean peace. 1s4BE
I'm 1898, the last time the locusts
were hefe," said an old commercial
traveller the other day, "the wings bore
a decided W. And we promptly got
into the war with Spain. In 1876 | saw
the 'P' on the wings myself. And fol-
lowing we had peace and plenty.
don't remember so far back as 1859,
that is to say, don't remember locusts
back in those days, but have been told
by scores of old farmers that the seven
teen-year kind showed up that year and
bore wv on each wing. The civil war
followed.
"Some of the older generation of
farmers have records in the old family
Bible to prove that the former visitation
of seventeen-year locusts that came in
1859 presaged the Mexican War by
bearing wv on their wings. can tell
you the farmers are not anxious to have
them come, but they are all supersti-
tious as to their verify as harbingers
When you come to think CT it, this
letter business seems like very foolish
superstition. But when you know that
they do bear either the W. or the 'P'
and that the sign has never failed, what
are you going to do about itF'-New

Why does Great Britain buy
its oatmeal of us?

Certainly it seems like CARRYING
Goals to Newcastle to speak of export
ing oatmeal to Scotland and yet, every
year the Quaker Oats Company sends
hundreds of thousands of cases of
Quaker Scotch Oats to Great Britain
and Europe.
The reason is simple; while the
English and Scotch have for centuries
eaten oatmeal in quantities and with
regularity that has made them the
most rugged physically, and active
mentally of all people, the American
has been eating oatmeal and trying all
the time to improve the methods of
manufacture so that he might get that
desirable foreign trade.
How we'll he has succeeded would
be seen at glance at the export re-
ports on Quaker Scotch Oats. This
brand is without a rival; is packed in
regular packages, and in Theoretically
sealed tins for hot climates. 81

In cooperation with the National

ments to ascertain their annual re-
quirements.
In the last few years the users of
hickory have become very m u h
alarmed over the decreasing supply;
so far, however, it has been i'm
possible to get satisfactory stats
tics either of the total quantity of
hickory yet standing in the forests
or of the amount used each year.
This is partly because a great deal
of hickory is cut by small portable
or by stationary mills, which, after
consuming all the timber within a
radius of from two or eight miles,
are either sold or moved to new
points. Much hickory is also split
into billits, handles, etc., instead
of being sawed into lumber. AL.

difficult to make fair estimate of
the total hickory consumption.

I is made directly into these special
forms there is manufactured each
year about 200, 100000 feet ,f
hickory lumber, most of which is
later re.manutactured. The total
quantity of hickory cut in Il e
United States each year is therefor e
equivalent to no. less than $50, 600,
600 board feet. According to the
reports of the bureau of census, the
average value of hickory lumber at
the mill is about $50 per thousand,
while the high-grade material which
is necessary for the special $50 per
thousand. This makes the total
value at the mill of the annua
hickory production not less than
$l2, 900, 900.
Hickory is one of our most useful
woods, but it constitutes only about
two to five per cent of the total
stand of timber in our hardwood
forests. 1t is widely distributed
throughout the eastern hardwood
forests and was formerly m t
abundant and of unusually high
quality in Indiana ond OHIO. The
supply in these states, however has
been greatly reduced by cutting, so
that at present Arkansas is distinct
ly in the lead in hickory produc-
tion, followed by Tennessee, and

FRANCHISE POLICY
Petition for San Pedro Street Right
Is Signed by Persons Not Known
to Be Interested in Rail-

In a report to the city council which
will be presented to that body next
Tuesday the board Of public utilities
has taken up the gauge thrown down
by II. e. Huntington several years
ago when Le declared he would never
apply for franchise in his own name
until the twenty-one year limit was
taken off. If the council adopts the
policy set forth by the commission no
more franchises will pass into Mr.

The report is made on the applica-
ton for an electric street railway
franchise on san Pedro street from
Seventh to Also. At the meeting OF
the council last week several persons
petitioned that such a franchise be Of
fered for sale. The petitioners were
John Haislip, Mrs. Ada +. Weyse,

not find that any of the petitioners are
remotely interested in the business or
conducting railways and that the APP
