fact will make new proposition COW
ering both electric and steam heating

the matter before you so that you may
know exactly what basis we wish to

e. Marshall.
In his letter Mr.. Marshall also pro-
proposes to ask for a franchise for
heating certain buildings of the city as
well as furnishing power for maufact-
uring establishments. He said that
the prices for power would be lighter
if the flour mill would be one of the
customers. In conclusion he adds: 81

backing which is ample to carry this
project through and as soon as we can
come to an agreement, will immedi-
ately start upon the plans and place
order for machinery so that we may be
able to enter into the performance of
the contract at the earliest possible
date"

THOROUGHBRED ANIMALS
AND PLANTS.
Their Great Commercial Value.

''There is as much difference between
thoroughbred and ordinary plants as
between thoroughbred and ordinary
animals" This statement is made by
D. M. Ferry & Co.. of Detroit, the
greatest flower and vegetable breeders
in the country, and appears in their
1911 Annual Catalogue just issued.
They argue for. the great value and
economy of thoroughbred seeds. "Any
fundamental natural law which applies
to animals applies equally to plants. -
A good COW Il. 9. thoroughbred) eats
no more than poor one, but may give
twice as much butterfat. t'Good
blood'' makes as much difference with
corn as with cows. But thoroughbred
plants, like thoroughbred animals. are
not produced in one or two generations,
for no matter how superior an individ-
ual of common origin may lie, its
progeny are as a rule like the general
run of its antecedents. Hence the need
for seedmen like D. M. Ferry & Co.
They have experience, the best plant
breeding equipment in the United
States, and the business acuren to sell
only such reeds 90 have been bred from
the choicest stocks for many genera
tions.
DIM. Ferry & Co.'S Seed Annual fol-
1911 may be. had free of charge by
writing to them at Detroit. Michigan.
1t contains much OF interest for those
who think.

Feed for Milk.

1 In investigating foods it has been
found that they contain different nutri-
ents, called protein, which builds
muscle; starch, sugar and fiber which
furnish heat and produce fat. The
protein is the most imp ,rtant and foods
that are rich init are most valuable.
This accounts for the high feeding
value Of bran and clover and alfalfa
hay. Milk Is rich in protein hence to
feed for milk give protein foods.

tian UpIift There

Robert e. Speer, secretary OF the
Presbyterian Board of Foreign Mis-
sions addressed the Mems Society OF
Rodney Street Church last night. Tne
room was crowded, and there we're
many visitors from other churches
present.
Mr. Speer's subject was "Our OPP
portunity in View of the Asiatic
Crisis" Mr.. Speer has spent consid-
erable time in China and other for
eign countries and his statements have
added weight for this reason. He spoke
of China fifteen years ago, when it
seemed as if the country was so OPP
posed to change that it would forever
remain shackled. He assigned five rea-
sons for the Chinese change of attir
tude; their young people come to the
western countries and learned the
modern ways; there is a great indus
trial awakening, railroads are cover
ing the country, and in place of the
poppy for opium, the people are cul-
tixating cotton and wheat. Thirdly,
ideas of education are changing in
China, they want modern teaching.
There will soon be wonderful changes
in politics, said Mr.. Speer, the people
are no longer content with despotism.
Lastly, there is a great industrial,
intellectual moral and religious awak-
ening, said the lecturer. He told of the
rapid progress of Christianity Mr.
Speer urged that the Christian church,
es realize the necessity of seizing their
opportunity now I'm China.

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Anticipat-
ing the formation of a multi-million
dollar telephone trust, the Department
Of Justice today detailed special
agents 10 note every step taken by the
delegates of the National Independent
Telephone Association at their meet
ing in Chicago tomorrow for the re-
ported purpose of considering a plan
to combine the Bell-Morgan and In
dependent Telephone systems of the
United States under a single manage
ment
The statement of j. B. Ware, secre-
tary of the Independent Association
that the combination, if effective would
apply to toll service and to sections of

ruinous indicates that the project may
be a combination in restraint of trade,
it was declared today at the Depart

1t is regarded here as probable that
any formulative steps toward a COM

siders illegal, will be countered by a
