went Into effect a little more than a
year and six months ago.
II lad been most vigorously opposed
for years. In fact ever since we nc.
quired the islands and suppressed dis
order therein As an agricultural
country and the home Of much cheap
labor IL was predicted that the Philip
pines would subject as TO a rnInous
competition that would be fatal 10
many OF our industries.
But instead Of causing the ca,a.
clysm fore,old. this reasonable tariff
arrangement became operative with
out perceptiblc effects either in ap-
pfehension and loss OF confidence or
In actual influence on our national
prosperity. On the contrary. Il has
merely opened to Americans new OPP
portnnities for money making.
We are selling more than a million
dollars worth OF foodstuffs a year 70
the Filipinos now. nearly four mil.
lion dollars worth OF steel products,
hundreds Of thousands Of dollars
worth OF paper and Of boots and shoes

nous other. items SHOW q great In.
crease. some having doubled IN u
months. And Americans. not being IN
business for their health. are making
a profit on all these things.

MAGAZINE POSTAGE.

During the Last session Of congress
the executive has doubtless risen in
public estimation. His promptness
and his good-humored intention to
carry out reforms and confirm broad
national policies have impressed the
country. His cabinet Is one of the
strongest and most efficient in ma
tional history. The accomplishment
OF the young postmaster general in
saving eleven millions of dollars in
postal expenses is solid and brilliant,
and If congress were responsive 10
the efforts of the postmaster general
this saving could easily be doubled.
but there it is again--the Texas OBJ
stacle. The postmaster general is in
a fight to a finish with the magazines
in determination TO increase postage
rates on advertising matter. He is
supported by the president, who told
the magazine men in recent inter-
view that his contention for an in
creased rate on second-class postage
had only begun. and that they must
expect 10 face the issue in the next
congress. The president said further
that the United States had spent
quarter of a million of dollars investi-
eating the subject. and that in view of
this fact the demand of the magazine
men for an investigation was unneces-
sary; very thorough investigation
had been made BY the men who know
most about the post Office department.
and that he. the president. would fol-
low their recommendation.
We think they are taking a wrong
view OF the matter. What the post
master general should really look
after is the firms that get out great
volumes OF advertising stun for their
own use. with no literary features
about II and wish 10 use the mails as
the legitimate magazine. The mail
order houses ge, out books that beat
any magazine ever published These
and other concerns that send out ad-
Tertising literature exclusively should
be looked after and not put the burden
On the literary magazines Of the land.

BUSINESS.

This from the Monroe Journal Il
strictly business: When there is 1
death in the county the Journal Il
glad to record as news matter the
facts about the life and death Of the
individual, That Is a papers business
and Is part Of the news that people
take the paper to get But after that
is done 1t is not matter Of news to
record long obituary notices, going
again over facts already printed, or
TO publish resolutions OF respect and
cards OF Thanks Therefore these
are chargedi for at the regular rate
OF one cent a word. When our friends
send them in We expect them to count
the words and send along the cash.
Resolutions and cards of thanks
don't really do anybody any good at
ALL
The Greensboro Record notes that
4some Of the papers in this state fol-
low the same plan. but what bothers
us is how they manage to do it. The
Record believes in charity. but. the
way they do ride us down this way is
a sight We would like to run, but
don't know how to get away"
II people would stop to think for
a moment they would see that it is
nothing more than right and proper
that resolutions and obituaries should
be paid for at space rates. A news
paper gives the facts about a death.
and this is all that should be re-
quired OF paper to give free. The
space In paper are the arteries Of
its life. II il gives away this space
to the living as we'll as the dead. II
Is only a question Of time when the
paper viii have no columns to publish
It's own demise IN. Treat the news
paper as business proposition. and
do not ask to ride a horse to death.
or use up all the gasoline in the au-
,smobile tank for your own satisfac-
ton.

A Nen Chicken story.

Cor. siler City Grit.
How is this for a chicken story
A certain lady living not over six
miles from Siler City some time ago
found one OF her hens setting on
nest FUN OF eggs and a. IL wasn't the
right time OF the moon TO put hen
20 setting she decided not TO let her
set. She threw the hen of and took
the eggs in the kitchen and put them
In a box on the sldeboard and that
afternoon when she came IN 10 get
supper what should she see but "old
speckie" setting away as hard as she
could. The good lady said that a
hen that wanted 10 set that bad
should set II she could help. her in
any way: and 80 "Oid speckle" is
setting now In the Kitchen on the
sideboard.

Fire Burning I'm One
Home for so Years

Mr.. ]. c. wrenn tells the Roxboro
Courier OF a remarkable family.
Their names is Mckees. living in
Orange county. near Little River
church. and. by the way. among the
very best people TO be found. who.
he says. has had the same fire in
the fire place for more than so years.
and possibly longer than that. The
old fork on which the pots were hung
in the oiden times Is still hanging
in the FIRE place and is known to
have been In use for more than ITO
years. They own a mule. which is
doing good work, that is known 10
be 81 years old. They are not much
on style or fashion. but just 10 be in
line a score OF more years ago they
bought a box OF matches, and the box
Is still full.
These good people buy nothing
which can be made at home or raised
on the farm, and are setting this
generation a good example.

The Poultry Yard
And Valuable Hints

From March Farm journal
The March-hatched pullets will be
the early fall layers.
Many incubator chicks are killed
with Kindness by being oyerfed and
kept too warm.
You need not be afraid the hens will
cat too much crushed shells. Let
them have all they want.
! Make ii rule TO count the biddies
every day Some folks never do this.
They might be robbed and never
know II. -
have heard the advice given to
feed the chicks all they viii eat up
clean. That won't do. They will eat
up clean 1.-THE first week or two)
more than they have any business
eating.
Hard enough to sit for tn ee weeks
without having 10 be gnawed all the
time by insect pests. Look at your
setting hens once in while and be
sure they are free from enemies OF
this kind
You can make money by getting q
good rooster right now. Mate him
with some Of your best hens and set
the eggs. Your basket will get full a
lot faster after those pullets get to
laying.
Particularly at this season of the
year do not set hen until 1t is posi-
tive that she is thoroughly broody. II
she does not have the full fever she
is apt to desert her charge. often after
setting week or two.
As the weather Is still cold. not
more than eleven eggs should be
given hen. When a larger number
is allowed the eggs are non sufficiently
covered, and those on the outer edges
Of the clutch are likely to become
chilled.

The mild young man in the corner
made mental note of the sally for
future use. and at another dinner
party shortly afterward he carefully
guided the conversation into literary
channels. Fortunately. some one men
toned the desired name. and he tri-
umphantly called out: well, she's
