FIRST STEP IN THE
STEEL TRUST SUIT

Trenton, n. j., Dec. "A prelim-
mary to the finish fight between the
government and the United States
Steel Corporation will be staged in
the United States circuit court here
on Monday, when the Rockefellers and
other defendants will enter their ap-
pearanecs in the suit brought to dis
solve the steel trust. The defendants
will not appear in person, but will be
represented by an array of counsel
that will include some of the mos
brilliant legal minds in America.
The next round in the battle is
scheduled for one month from today,
when the defendants must file in court
an answer to the allegations of the
government. Unless there are de-
murrers this should comprise the
pleading. Next will come the appoint
ment of an examiner to take testi-
mony. After the testimony has all
been taken, filed ard read by the court
the case will be placed on the calen-
dar for argument and the procedure
will be the same as in the oil AMI
tobacco cases.

Cats Become ssmI-wlId.

Domestic cats soon revert to semi

woods, and are terribly destructive in

cartridges, leverets and rabbits. The
life of these wild Tables is wild in

aroused; each movement becomes
Enthusiastically feline, and when
these creatures revert to life in the
woods it is impossible to reclaim
them. Climatic influences work re-
markable changes upon the fur, caus
ing it to grow longer and thicker, and
the cats take up their abode in stony
.crevasses or hollow trees. In summer
when kittens are produced, the de
struction of game is almost incredible

steel superseding wood.

The substitution of steel for wood
goes steadily on. Beginning with
January 1, or Whereabouts, the Ma
tional Lead Company will pack its
white lead in steel kegs, having de-
cided to abandon the use of wooden
kegs. This innovation is made be-
cause the company has concluded that
steel kegs will have many advantages
over the wooden kegs. In the first
place, the steel package does not abb
sorb the oil from the lead as porous
wooden packages do, and there is,
therefore, no drying and caking OF
the lead around the edges, making 1t
possible to remove every particle of
white lead easily from the steel key.
The new steel kegs also will be much
lighter, as well as being stronger than
the wooden ones, and this will effect
saving in freight rates. Taking up
less room than the wooden kegs, tho
new steel packages also will save stor-
age space.

Failed to Introduce New clock Idea

Failed to Introduce New Clock Idea.
About a year ago all America and
England were talking about the new
clock fdea-turning the clock an hour
ahead in summer and back again In
winter, so that the whole country
would sleep when 1t was dark and
work when it was light Thus, we
would rise at what was really 5, but
the clock would call 1t 6. and retire at
9, but the clock would say 10. There
fore, without changing our daily hab-
its, we could get the benefit of the day
light and save In illumination,
The idea was introduced into the
British parliament, but failed to be-
come a law. Two cities, however
adopted it-Birmingham. England, and
Cincinnati, Ohio. Both tried In vain
to enforce 1t on the people, but public
opinion was against it, and now 1t has
been wholly abandoned 1t is rather a
shame, for 1t was a good plan. and In
time the public might have been
brought to see its utility.
However, here 1t rests in 'innocu.
GUS desuetude" until some progressive
schemer brings 1t up again.

Big Lemon Crop Expected.

There is promise of the largest lemon
crop on record in California this year.
1t is estimated that the yield will reach
1000 carloads or over. There is a great
deal of attention being given to i'm
proving the methods of handling the
lemon in the fields and packinghouses.
1t is the most difficult fruit in Cali
fornia to produce and market. The
United States department of agricul-
ture and the University of California
have co-operated with the industry for
several years and are helping to solve
some of the difficulties that the grow
ers and shippers had not been able to
meet alone. There are many problems
still to be worked out, soil difficulties
to be investigated, and insect and fun
gus pests to conquer, says G. H. Powell
in report to the United States senate
upon the lemon tariff.
The largest average yield attained in
the state as a whole hardly exceeds
one-third of a carload, or less than 5000
pounds, of fruit per acre for the $4,000
acres of bearing groves. There are
some groves that produce a carload or
more per acre, just as there are unusual
surgeons, lawyers, and business men
who stand head and shoulders above
the average man in the same profess
sion. The increase in the difficulties
of production and the decrease in the
productiveness of many of the bearing
groves have caused some apprehension
as to the future of the industry. The
state university recently brought two
of the most distinguished soil experts
in America to California to help the
growers solve their difficulties, and two
large conventions of fruit growers have
recently appealed to the federal and
state governments to furnish investiga-
tors and funds to cooperate with the
industry in working out these troubles.
