Corporation Directors Want Their
Rights and Usually Get Them.
A large corporation held directors
meeting a few days ago. AS the meet
Ing was coming to a close one of the
directors. reputed to be worth $10,OO0,-
900, ran in all out of breath. Just as
he entered the other directors were
making their exit. says the Hartford
Courant
Look here" the incoming director
shouted to the chairman. Il want to
know why haven't received notice of
this meeting"
81 am sure I don't know" the chair
man said. Notices were sent to all
directors. You surely must have re-
ceived one"
The, director finished up an excited
TRADE by saying, Il want my rights
Just then the secretary was brought
into conference. who in turn handed
the late director an envelope. He de-
parted with a smiling countenance.
This recalls the story of a New York
corporation where $40 for each director
was laid on the table and those who
attended divided the whole pile. If
half came each got $40. The members
were men far advanced in years and

KNEW De oUINCEY'S WORKS.
Choate Was Better Posted on Them
Than the Author Himself.


Than the Author Himself.
Many years ago James T. Fields. the
publisher, was making a collection OF
the writings of De Quincy. The es-
says were widely scattered In various
periodicals and were often hard to
identify. Mr.. Fields knew Rufus
Choate as a devoted student OF De
Quincy and wrote him one day ASK
Ing his opinion as to certain article.
Was 1t by De Quincy or not?
Mr.. Choate replied that 1t certainly
was. There could be no mistaking the
style Of the piece. A few weeks later
Mr.. Choate received through Mr..
Fields letter from De Quincy deny
Ing absolutely and somewhat ind1g'
nantly the Authorship Of the article
But Choate was not of the stuff to
yield his opinion for a trife like that.
He wrote to Mr.. Fields:
81 still believe that De Quincy wrote
the essay. De Quincy to the contrary
Notwithstanding"
Doubtless Mr.. Fields read the note
with a smiling comment. That's just
like Choate's confidence In his own
Judgment
Months elapsed. One day there came
letter from De Quincy containing
humble apology for his previous blum
der. By chance he had found In his
desk the manuscript of the very article
In question. Written as 1t had been
years before. 1t had passed entirely
from his mind. land you may tell your
young Boston lawyer" he concluded.
"that he knows my style better than
know it myself"

The Creamery Water Supply.

Strange to say, the question of
the water supply for the cream
cry is often over looked. This is
a matter of great Importance as
a creamery uses large quantities
of water and the question of SUP
ply should be carefully consider
ed in establishing a creamery in
any locality.
The source of the water supply
should be examined carefully and
where the water may be obtain
ed from different sources, choose
the one that furnishes the purest
water. A creamery operator
cannot afford to use anything but
the purest water obtainable even
though it costs more to get it to
the creamery.
Impure water if not actually
dangerous is one of the greatest
sources of contamination in
creamery products. Blu t t e r
washed in impure water is spoil
ed before it leaves the creamery
as the impure water contains Or
ganisms that cause it to deter
iorate rapidly. In some cases it
is off flavor within a few days
and in other cases it may not be
noticeable until it has been held
in cold storage for some time.
Cream cans, watts and other uten-
sils washed in impure water will
contain enough bacteria to con-
taminate the cream that comes in
contact with them.
The supply should also be abun-
dant at all times and should be
so arranged that the water may
be obtained in all parts of the
creamery. Some creameries have
the water tank located in the
creamery. This is very undesir-
able as the water cannot be kept
as cool as it should be and is al
ways in danger of the water be-
coming contaminated for such
tanks are often uncovered and
exposed to dust and other impu-
rites. Deep wells usually fur
nish good water that is cool
enough for ordinary cooling pur-
poses. Many creameries depend
entirely upon the water supply
for cooling purposes.
The foregoing facts are not
new. On the contrary, they are
we'll understood by the average
creameryman and yet the water
supply is often deficient and of
poor quality.

RECIPROCITY COMES FIRST
DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS MAKES
THAT DECISION.
This Will be Followed by a Tariff sill
Placing on Free List Articles
Farmers Buy.

Washington, April 12.-The Cana
dain reciprocity tariff agreement viii
be the first of all tariff as we'll as the
first of all general legislation to be
launched by the house Democrats.
This is to be followed by a hodge
podge tariff bill providing for the
placing on the free list of agricultural
implements, including plows, harrows,
reapers and mowers; boots and shoes,
saddles and saddlery, wire fencing,
bailing wire, cotton bagging and ties,
cotton sacks, burlaps, flour, meat
products, dressed meats, fresh meats.
not including game, sewing machines,
and rough lumber.
AS soon as possible for the commit.
tee on ways and means to get them
out other tariff bills revising down.
ward the wooden, cotton textile and
steel schedules will be introduced in.
to the house.
1t is contemplated that the recipro
city bill and the free list bill will be
ready for introduction Thursday. 1t is
intended to push these bills through
the house with as little delay as pos,
sible that they may 60 to the senate.
This is the legislative policy of the
Democrats adopted in coucus. There
was no opposition to the plan which
was presented by Chairman Under
wood of the committee on ways and
means. 1t involves a change in the
original plans Of the Democrats. iiy
agreement the democratic
ways and means committee had de
cided to send out first a revision o.
the wool schedule as one which press
ed most heavily on all the people be
cause OF the high protective duties Oh

The change in program was bron&Kt
about through a desire to blins iNtl /
line the progressive Republicans who
have been opposing reciprocity Oh the
ground that it took ali protection
from the farmer but left protection
for the manufacturer. nder this
plan the objections of the middle west
,armels that they will be required tc
