Making the Home Pnx

Marketing home products advantage
 ously is of paramount importance" says
 Kate V. Saint-Maur in Woman's Home
 Companion for January, ''and it seems to be the point on which many beginners fail. Commission men and wholesale
 markets should not be resorted to. be- | cause homegrown products of all de- l. scriptions excel in quality and not in quantity; therefore. appeal to the high
 class private custom. who desire the very best regardless of price.
 T have never sold through any of the ordinary market channels, yet have al- ways had more orders than I could fill and received a little more than the or dinary prices. Naturally the location of the home and the quality of wares must influence the returns to some extent, but not half so much as the method of packing and shipping. Nicety in these respects captures the favor of customers
 and they take pride in exhibiting things to their friends-which is the very sort of advertising a. home business can have. When I had reached the point where I knew that I could depend on a certain
 number of eggs regularly, I wrote to doctor friend in the city and told him
 that I could promise to deliver six dozen
 strictly fresh-laid eggs twice a week for
 the whole year, at a uniform price of
 45 cents a dozen; customers to pay the express charges, which would be 25 cents
 on each six dozen. (Express companies
 return empty packages free of charge.)
 Within a month he had found four GUS
 toners for me, who would take two
 dozen week each, the box to be delv- cred at his house, where the other three customers were to call every Saturday and Wednesday.
 "All poultry supply houses have wooden
 boxes for sale with divided trays, made
 to hold three, six or twelve dozen eggs, for about two dollars apiece Before the
 year was out each of the three other
 customers had interested one or two

Large Purchase of Mountain

Toko. January 21.-(Special) )-Sixty thousand stand of arms and some six millions cartridges is a purchase recently made by Abyssinia. Both arms and anu milton were part of Japan's spells of war, and were taken at Port Arthur
 These arms have been offered by the war department for sale, and 1t Is now estimated that they have been sold, and that in few days they will leave port in Japan for the French port of Jibuti.
 An old resident of Tokyo, foreigner, was the purchaser from the war depart ment, and his sale of the arms and the amunition was made in Paris directly with the agents of the Abyssinian government. The price paid is not stated, but the seller states that he has already been paid
 It is not improbable that a good deal more will be heard of this matter, as the British government Is much concerned and has been making anxious inquiries. The Japanese war department, however, rrofesses to be entirely an innocent party and asserts it's full right to dispose of the stock after securing an assurance that the arms were not to be sold to a bellig erent country at war with friendly power.

 ~There may be landslides every now and then. but it is absurd to talk about the canal not being @ success. I saw General Marshall, chief of engineers not long ago, and he told me that Colonel Goethals Is confident the canal will be completed IS months earlier than the board of engineers had estimated when the work was started. This would make the finish of the job about the middle of 1913. s
 I have heard reports, from apparently reliable sources. that engineers do not believe the canal ever will be finished. Such reports are too redculous to think about. It has been said that Gatun dam will make a larger lake than Lake Mich igan, and that this would make impossible the successful completion of the project This statement is silly. It makes no difference how big the Gatun lake may be; the question will cover an area of 164 square miles. which is pretty big; but Lake Michigan has an area of 2,00 square miles. It is rediculous to circulate or, to believe such reports as occasion ally come from the canal zone."

Nexx zealond Defence Act

Wellington, January H.-(SpeciaI,)-1n the course of an interview Sir Joseph Ward, the prime minister, said he was highly satisfied with the reception ac- corded to the new New Zealand defence act Compulsory service was the keynote of the act, but, judging from the reports received from all parts of the dominion, the volunteer spirit had been stimulated to an extent which if thnt spirit con- tinued, would render compulsion unneces- sary.
 The object aimed at, he said. was to turn out 5000 fully trained men. and if that result was not achieved in the next five years without compulsion then conn pulsion would be resorted to.

NEW YORK IS

Between New Orleans and Sar
 Francisco for Exposition
GOTHAM SETS THE PAGE
Not Only in Population and Size, Hut in the Accumulation of Great Wealth. 4 Emigrant Farmers for
 Alabama
By ROBERT LEE CARTER

New York January 2-(Special.) )-New struggle between New Orleans and San Francisco for the Panama canal exposi- ton. You can, of course, find advocates of both cities here, ardent avocates for there are lots of Pacific coast men in the citizenship of New York just as there are a great many southerners and there are no more patriotic people going than those who have come from the far west except perhaps those from the south.
 The sympathy of the great bulk of New Workers who are swayed by local feel ing is with the Crescent city and if New York had the giving the exposition would go to New Orleans with whoop.
 The reason why is thus told in a re- cent editorial in the Compercial:
 ''New York's interest in the south. her industries, her business and her people may be initially a selfish one, but it outgrew that stage of the relationship years Rgo. The south and the metropolis of the country are very well acquainted. They ''get in'' we'll together. New York people in a large way had an aggressive sympathy with the south during the re- construction period and some of the stormy times that followed it-although there were conspicuous exceptions, of course.
 New Workers were among the very first people in the country to appreciate and make use of the south's vast re- sources as a great health and tourist resort and the development along that line was very largely in the hands of strong New York financial interests And all these things led to the formation of com mercial and social ties that have never since been broken or weakened. F'uther- more, when away back in the late sos the question of the location of the World s Fair was a live issue before Congress and the country. southern interests very generally aligned themselves on the side of New York as against Chicago. The western city won out''-but that was no fault of the south's. So there is some thing in the way of appreciation and obligation that enters as a factor into New Orleans cause when she begins to feel outrfor discovering who her friends arc.
 ! New York has no narrow prejudices against any American city that has ambi- ition to hold the Panama canal exposition, provided only it has some logical and sub stantial basis for seeking the honor But just as blood Is thicker than water" so thing in matter of this sort"

New Marie Music


 "Each player is requested to close his eyes for a moment,' says Mary Dawson in. Woman's Home Companion for Jan uary, and a card, with the name of some familiar tune. written on it. is pinned to his back. The object is to see who will be the first to guess the melody he bears and for the first three correct guesses prizes are awarded. E
 eThe only guido that the player pos sesses as to his own tune is the fact that others hum it as he approaches.
 '.The hostess keeps a tablet on which each player is. Invited to register his name and that of the composition in question as soon as he has discovered the latter. Each guess Is numbered as it is written down, but whether or not he has been successful Is mot divulged to any player until all have registered their guesses. as this would destroy the excite ment of the game for the rest.
 Any player is allowed to change his vote if he feels he has made mistake fin which case the second guess is regis tered in a later place and the first one erased. The first guess, even if the cor rect one, no longer counts as an answer"

Furnishing Your Library

'Tet 1s consider the bookshelves first of aIl," says Lucy Abbott Throop in womans Home Companion for January, flor, since the room is to be permanent library, there should be permanent book shelves They should vary in height ac- cording to the size of the room, and they should never be higher than can be easily reached If the room Is small, they ought not to be higher than four or four and one-nalf feet, or they will make the room seem smaller than 1t is. They may line the room entirely or be placed as the size of the room demands or special need dictates. Take care that you do not get them carefully built in and then dis cover that the door knocks against them as 1t opens.
 "Built-in bookcases should have nov able shelves for the obvious reason that all books are not the same height and it istoften convenient to change them about If the home carpenter Is not equal to fitting adjustable shelves, have the lower shelves farther apart, for there is where the largest and heaviest books should be put to keep the feeling of weight near the floor. If there is a fireplace, with a niche at each side, build shelves on each side of it. Build them on each side of the window and then place a window seat between. If there are two windows near together, place a desk with shelves over it.. between them and bookcases on each side of theATindows with window-seats between. Have the cases turn the cor ners of the room wherever possible, for this Is usually good in effect.
 Do not crowd your library walls with pictures unless you should have a set of fine prints or something quite as excep- tional. There should be an air of dig nifty and quiet about all libraries, whether. large or small, and this is attained by the use of restful colors and keeping away from confusion of the eye with pictures and ornaments. Have a pottery bowl or vase of flowers, a plaster. cast of which you are particularly fond and a piece or two of good metal work. either brass or copper A map of the world and a globe are valuable aids for refer ence and should be in every library

I have several times had the pleasure of recording the fact that our western American farmers have begun to appre- ciate the splendid opportunities offered by the south. Here is another.
 A large body of Alabama farm lands has been bought by Illinois farmers. who will locate on 1t in time to grow crops the present year of 1911. These colonists have disposed of their high-priced lands in Illinois and invested the proceeds in lands in the cotton belt that are about as good for grain as they are for cot ton. The tract is 40 square miles in ex- tent. which is enough to provide so acres to each of 3a0 families.
 The large plantation is disappearing at the south The negro population, except in the Mississippi bottoms. is rapidly de- serting the farm for the town Even in Alabama most Of the cotton crop Is the product of white labor, and even in the ''bottoms' Italian laborers are gradually supplanting the African. That is notably the case of the famous Austin Corbin plantation of immense extent in Louisi- ana, in which state there are numerous colonies from the north engaged in farm ing.
 The soil and climate of the gulf states are not suspassed anywhere in the tenn perate zohe and, at the same time, lands are cheap, and the diversity of crops is a revelation to the farmer of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois or Iowa. The crop season is much longer. the winter much shorter, and great deal milder.
 As these facts become more widely known this exchange of s100 to s2o0 farm lands with six months seasons for $10 to $20 lands of equal fertility and 10 months seasons will go on more rapidly.

leeIt is not only in population that New York is setting a lively pace of growth for the big cities of the country In wealth she is making even more rapid strides. The tax assessors who have re- gently finished making the assessments upon which the taxes for the year will be levied, have jumped real estate values pretty nearly ssoo.0Oo.OOO for the var. The total assessed valuation of all property in only one city in the union was any where near the. increase in New York's realty. EThes assessed value of only 14 of the states of the union suspassed this increase. !. As a matter of fact there has been no such increase in values, but Mayor Gay nor instructed the assessors to test all real property at fair market value and the s900, 900 is the result. The total taxable value of the city for 1911 is placed at s9,500, 100000 all almost inconceivaple sum and mere than twice the assessed value of any state in the union except Pennsylvania.

The question of extending the pier line on the North river is a serious problem just now. The longest piers along the water front are now about 800 feet long. These lack nearly 100 feet of being able to accommodate the great ocean steamers now being built and may be 250 feet too short before many years have passed.
 The pier line Is fixed by the national government and a strong effort is being made to secure permission to build fur ther out into tho river.
 The shipping of the port will suffer seriously unless the lengthening of exist ing piers is permitted. according to Isidor Straus. The same authority predicts in jury to the United States commerce.
 ''It strikes me, that where every pos sible effort is being made by our diplo- matic and consular representatives abroad to cultivate trade it would not be unwise to neglect right here at home measures which facilitate the commerce when it reaches our shores" said MT. Straus. T am informed that we have not dock facil- ities in New York city which will enable new leviathans of the deep to find a home for their loading and discharge.
 'One of the most energetic fights that is at present engaging the attention of our commercial bodies is to have removed tife railway determinations against the port of New York which are diverting transatlantic freights from this to other ports, and here we have one of the most potent factors to counteract such dis criminations by providing facilities for these tremendous ships, which, under present conditions, would be compelled to find other shores than those of Man hattan."
