Carried Skyward by Feet.

TreynOr, Iowa, June 30.-Ransom
Jones, an lS-ycar-Old boy of Trey
nor, while watching a balloon ascen-
sion yesterday, was caught In the
guide ropes and carried aloft. He
managed to hold on to the rope, and
descended with the balloon three
miles from Treynor. He was unin-
jured.
Jones started up feet foremost, but
soon managed to grasp the rope with
his hands, turn himself about, and
twist his legs around the rope. In
this manner he held on, even when
the aeronaut cut loose in o parachute
and the balloon took great leap up
ward. When the air in the balloon
cooled off, 1T came to earth, and Jones
helped to roll 1t up for carriage back
to Treynor.

MEAT PRODUCTS EXPLOITATION
General Expectations Make Decidedly
Favorable Showing for Year.

Washington, July Especial:
Lower prices of meat and dairy pro-
ducts src accompanied by increased
expectations. The latest figures of
the bureau Of statistics Of the De-
partmcnt of Commerce and Labor
show large increases in exports of
meats in the month of May, 1911,
when compared with the same month
year ago.
The total exports Of meats for the
IL months of the fiscal year Is still
in some cases below those Of a year
ago, but for the single month Of May,
in which the export prices are mate
rally below those Of year ago, tho
increase is strongly marked.
In the case Of lard, for example, Of
which the export price in May, 1911,
was, according to figures of the bu-
reau of statistics, 90 cents per
pound, against 1877 cents in May last
year, the quantity exported in May,
1911, Is moro than double that of the
corresponding month last year, the
total being 100000 pounds in
May, 1911, against 26,5OO,OOO in the
corresponding month of 1910.
Bacon, of which the average ex-
port price In May, 1911, was 1913
cents per pound, against 15.2 cents
per pound in May of last year, shows
also a large Increase in the quantity
exported, the total for May being
100000 pounds, against $780,
600 in the corresponding month last
year, though for the II months end
ing with May, 1911, the total Is less
than. in the same months Of the prior
year, being 137.334,OOO pounds,
against 100000 In the cores
ponding months of 1910
Hams and shoulders, of which the
average export price in May, 1911,
is 11.8 cents per pound, against 14.6
cents per pound In May, 1910, show
total expectation in May of the
current year OF 100000 pounds
against 100000 in the correspond
ing month Of 1910, the total for the
1 months ending with May being
slightly below that of tho same
months in 1910.
Fresh beef, which shows but a
slight reduction in the export price,
GO cents a pound in May, 1911,
against 1913 cents per pound in May,
1900 shows but slight increase in
quantity exported, being for May,
1911, 100000 pounds against lit
tie over 100000 pounds in May,
1910
Beef, salted or picked, Of which
the export price in May, 1911, is 7.3
cents per pound, against 81 cents
per pound in May, 1910, shows total
exports for May Of the current year
amounting to 100000 pounds,
against 100000 in May Of the pre-
ceding year.
Butter also sohws a marked decline
In export price and an equally mark
ed advance in the quantity exported,
the export price in May, 1911, being
20.7 cents per pound. against 25.5
cents in May, 1910, the quantity ex-
ported In May. 1911, being 487, 900
pounds. against 331 900 pounds in
May, 1910.
Cheese, of which the export price
in May, 1911, was lis cents per
pound, against 1916 In May, 1910,
shows exports Of nearly 100000
pounds, against about 250,O00 in
May, 1910.

BLIGAsE ON THE REFORNIATORY.
Governor Converted to the Idea by
Visit to tho Institution.
Columbia RecOrd.)

Governor BleaSe said Thursday that
his visit this week to tho State re-
formatory at Florence, the establish
ment Of which he as State Senator
opposed, had quite converted him to
the reformatory idea as there eXem-
plified, and it would be his pleasure
to recommend liberal support Of that
''rhe place Is clean, sanitary and
pleasant" said the Governor; "there
is no flubdub about it's admlnistw-
ton, and | was struck with the home
like atmosphere prevailing. be-
lieve Superintendent Emmons and
his family are devoted to their young
charges, with whom he appears to
have just the relation he ought to
have
Governor Blease said he opposed
the measure proposing to create the
reformatory because it originally
provided for the care Of white and
cClored boys in the same institution.
For that reason he held up the pro-
ject for two sessions, until the meas
ure was amended so as to provide for
white boys only.
Teach Boys Trades.
AT present facilities are at hand
for the teaching Of no trade other
than farming," said the Governor. "I
shall favor the making Of proper pro-
vision for the instruction Of the boys
in one or two good plain trades, such
as carpentry. painting, shoemaking
formatory built up. 1t is a valuable
asset"
How to Get Out.
There is one thing about the re-
formatory that IS puZzling the Gov
ernor somewhat. He is constantly
in receipt Of petitions that he release
boys regularly committed to the in
stitution. The law appears to make
no provision for the release of an in
mate except upon the order of the
board of directors or on writ Of
habeas corpus from the chief justice
or one of THE circuit judges. The
Governor is Of the opinion that this
law Is defective, but his advice to pc
titioners Is that they employ counsel
to present their cases. Where boys
have been voluntarily committed by
parents or guardians. appeal should
be made to the directors of the re-
fOrmatory. The Governor cannot we'll
consider petitions for the release Of
any inmates except such as have
been committed by court upon con-
viction of crime.
Who Are Directors?
Another matter in reference to the
reformatory which Governor Blease
has under consideration is the compo-
sition Of the board of directors. He
does not intimate that he has any
desire or intention to make any
changes, but he wishes to ascertain
Just who are the directors. The rec
o"ds at the State House are not at
all clear on this point Governor
Blease has asked w. r. Barringer, of
Florence, whom he understands to
be secretary-treasurer of the board,
to furnish him with list OF the di-
rectOrs

Judge Parker followed with an
interesting talk on the vital sub.
ject, adding arguments and ideas
to those already expressed.
In the evening an informal smo-
ker was given the visitors in the
Improvement Club hall, at which
a number ofshort talks were made.
Among those who responded were:
James Cromer and Stanley Kitch-
ing, of Palm Beach county; E. b.
Douglas, of Miami; County Com
missioner d. J. Conroy, Of Duval
county. H. B. Race, of Jackson
vile, S. w. Jones, of New York;

Commissioner Z. A. Holt, of Wa

X. Durkee, Rev. j. S. DuBose,
Rev. H. w. McCombs, Judge F. L.
Hemmings, j. X. Williams, @. M.
Horton, and Others, of Fort Pierce.
This wound up the program of a
most eventful day, and one which
must be productive of good results
on account of the intense enthusi-
asm the occasion has brought to the
surface. The day was fitting as a
celebration Of the successful con,
summation of the ST. Lucie, county
good roads bond issue of 5000, 900,
for the news was spread at the
smoker that the bonds were signed
on Tuesday by the county commits
sioners and that the money will
be available within the next ten
days.
The prize offered for the most
attractively decorated business
house was awarded to Hendry q
Penney. and for the residence dis
trict Mrs. q. E. Rollins and Mrs.
F. L. Hemmings were awarded the
prize. This was an attractive and
striking exemplifcation Of the
Montreal to Miami National High
way. Montreal was portrayed on
the upper veranda in the throes OF
a snow storm, and the national
highway leading from that bleak
scene downard toward the Sunny
South, with a bright red automo'
bile coasting down the white boule-
ward. The terminus was the lower
piazza, where Miami was shown IN
the midst of tropical beauty, with
fruits, flowers and palms waving q
welcome.

Pierce were elected for the next
year. The occasion called forth no
demonstration and a. very light

tion for auy of the offices was for
the office of alderman, where there
were three candidates for the two
vacancies on the city council. The

tors and clerk, Messrs. L. A. Jen-
nings, II. e. Crooks, S. G. Van

ing of the city council last even
ing they were administered the

its events will be long remembered
and commented on by the hundreds
of persons who participated therein.
The day, as regards weather, was
perfect and the city presented a

bunting waving from the business
houses, residences and every avail
able space. welcoming the visitors,
who were here in large force. They
came from all parts of the. county

and by noon the streets were well
crowded with an enthusiastic
throng of good roads advocates
joining hands with the people OF
Fort Pierce in the rally arranged
for the representatives of the varl-
GUS counties along the East Coast
from Miami to Jacksonville.
At noon interest centered in the
expected arrival of the automobiles
carrying good roads delegates from
Jacksonville, Miami aud interme-
diate points. The first OF these ar
rived from Miami at 12:45 when

they were served with a bounteOus
feast Of barbecued beef and pork,
salads, beans, pickles, fruit, cake,
pies, bread, butter, and in fact a
wonderful outlay of food calculated
to appease the appetite of a hun
throng.
The arrangement, preparation
and service of this spread was of
the very best, being handled by a
most efficient corps of ladies who
took entire charge of the affair,
and that they did their work eff
GENTLY and thoroughly was evi
denced by the unanimous praise
expressed. The general opinion Of
all was that it was the best open
air dinner that each one had ever
partaken of. More than five hun
dred people were fed at the long
quadrangle table. Columns could
be written on this feature of the
days events, but suffice it to say
thrt it was by far the best ever.
In addition to the praise and
credit due the ladies for their un-
firing and devoted service to the
cause the Fort Lierce Band is also
due thanks and praise for furnish
ing excellent and inspiring music
during the day.
After dinner the crowd met at
the CRYSTAL theatre where general
mass meeting and road rally was
held, nearly four hundred people
attending. Judge James b. An
drews, president Of the St. Lucie
County Good Roads Association,
presided, and in a short telk OUT,
lined the purpose os the rally and

Oklahoma Prohibition,

"Oh, yes, Oklahoma is a prohibition
state" remarked John r. Flynn of
Muskogee, but it's like some other
prohibition states-one can get about
all he wants to drink for the price.
And that reminds me of the latest pro-
hibition story. An easterner who had
arrived in one of Oklahoma's towns
got up pretty good thirst. but his
host had not thought to ask him to
take drink. Finally the visitor sug-
gested that he wouldn't mind having
something to drink and asked if there
was any place near at hand where it
could be had The Oklahoman took
out his watch. Let's see,' he said; it's
3 o'clock, and the banks closed, but
guess we can get one most any place
else. Suppose we go into this dry goods
store "-Washington Post.

The seal ring is known to be the
oldest style of ring. 1t dates back to
the days of the Old Testament, and
products of the glyptic art, as gem en-
craving was called, were known in
the most remote times. In Exodus
xviii, 1920, mention is made of the
following stones, upon which the
names of the twelve children of Israel
were engraved: The sardius, the topaz,
the carbuncle, the emerald, the sap
phire, the diamond. the figure, the
agate, the amethyst, beryl, onyx and
jasper. In verse of the same chap
ter we find mention of the engraving
of signets upon the hardest stones. 1t
is believed that the Egyptians instruct
ed the Israelites in the art of stone
engraving. The Egyptians used the
lapidary's wheel and emery powder
and knew the use of the diamond in
engraving other hard stones. Among
