-. The harvester trust had the most
profitable year since it's organization
last year, and the farmers contribut-
ed more to it's piled up millions than
ever before. Its gross sales amount
ed to SOL, 166,359. OF these sales
$34, 196,065 were made in foreign
l countries where it had no tariff pro-
lection. Its surplus profits after
paying dividends and all other
charges is now $15,97S,SlS. A trust
that sells one-third of it's product
abroad in competition with the pau
per labor of Europe" certainly needs
no protection, and the democrats put
it's productions on the free list, to
which Mr.. Mann and his republican
followers made strenuous objections.
The figures are taken from the trust
sworn report, and they were ac-
cesslble to Mr.. Mann when he made
his objections on the floor of the
house. 1t earned enough to pay

STANDARD OIL TRUST BUSTED.

The Standard Oil company Of New
Jersey and it's nineteen subsidiary
corporations were declared, in de.
cision handed down by the supreme
court Of the United States, May 18th,
to be a conspiracy and combination
in restraint of trade. 1t also was
held to be monopolizing interstate
commerce in violation Of the Sher-
man antitrust law. The dissolution
Of the combination was ordered to
take place within six months.
A Washington dispatch carried by
the Associated Press says:
THUS ended the tremendous
struggle on the part of the govern
ment to put down, by authority OF
law, a combination which it claimed
was a menace to the industrial and
economic advancement of the entire
country. At the same time the court
Interpreted the Sherman antitrust
law so as to limit its application to
acts of undue restraint of trade and
not every restraint of trade.
1T was on this point that the only
discordant note was heard in the
court. Justice Harlan dissented,
claiming that cases already decided
by the court had determined once
for all that the word undue or 'un-
reasonable or similar words were
the reasoning of the court in arriving
at its finding was in effect legislation
which belonged in every instance to
congress and not to the courts.
Ever since the decree in this case
in the lower court, the United States
circuit court for the eastern district
of Missouri, was announced, hope has
been expressed by the business
world that the law would be modi-
fed so as not to interfere with what
was designated as honest business.
Tonight that section of the opinion
calling for the use of the rule OF
reason in applying the law is re-
garded in many quarters as an
answer to the prayers of the bust
ness world
''The opinion of the court was an
nounced by Chief Justice White. In
printed form it contained more than
twenty thousand words. For nearly
an hour the chief justice discussed

MAKING HENS lay.

M. Joubert, professor at the agri-
cultural college at Fontainebleau,
France, believes that he has discov-
cred a new and simple method of
making hens lay. He feeds them
with wine in addition to their ordi-
nary food. The professor has not
allowed his discovery to be made
known lightly. He has been expert
menting with fowls of all kinds for
several years, and finds the same
result in every case. In each case

months with two sets of twelve fowls

separate trials, the wine-fed hens
laid more eggs, in the proportion of
twenty eggs a month or thereabouts,

Questions Which a University Pro

Answer In the Affirmative.

A professor in the University of

should consider them educated when
they could say yes to every one of
the questions that he should put to
them. Here are the questions:
Has education given you sympa-
thy with all good causes and made
you espouse them?
Has it made you public-spirited?
Has it made you a brother to the
weak?
Have you learned how to make
friends and keep them? Do you
know what it is to be a friend your
self?
Can you look an honest man or a
pure woman in the eye? Do you
see anything to love in a little child?
Will a lonely dog follow you in the
street,
Can you be high-minded and hap
Ply in the meaner drudgeries of life?
Do you think washing dishes and
hoeing corn just as compatible with
high thinking as piano-playing or
golf?
Are you good for anything to
yourself? Can you be happy alone?
Can you look out on the world and
see anything except dollars and
cents?
Can you look into a mud puddle
by the wayside and see a clear sky?
Can you see anything in the puddle
but mud? Can you look into the
