Country Town Sayings
 (By 'Ed" Howe)

People never become so old that it does not hurt them to be scolded.
 No one would listen to you talk if he didn't know it was his turn next
 In this country, we always live well in the present and we diet saiamity for the future.
 What Great Wrong should be righted next2 We should have at least two grindings at once.
 A candidates promises 10 the peo. pie are not any more worthless than the peoples promises to a candidate.
 A man regards his newspaper as he does his wife; something to be foHld fauk with. and something he never entirely approves of.
 We Americans have a way of worfy ing a man into his grave by abusing him unfairly and then telling whaI q Good Man he was.
 l have great admiration for the wo man who can repel inquisitiveness or imperinence with a single look. And most women can do it.
 Don't show your nerve 5y running the risk of losing your life; show j. by quitting dangerous habits that are shortening your life. You eat too fast; brace your nerve and quit it (copyright. 1911, By George Matthew Adams.)

DISSOLUTION, AND AFTER.

AND AFTER.
 The coco owners of shares ol stock in the Standard oil company of New Jersey must surrender their certificates, and the company will then cause to be distributed to them ratably, the shares of stock of thir- ty-five subsidiary corporations which 1t owns directly or through its own ership of the National Transit com pany. The Standard oil company will then be dissolved. This ex- change of securities is made in o5e- dience to the decree of the Supreme court, handed down in May. ordering the dissolution of the Standard oil company as a conspiracy in re- straint of trade and a monopoly in violation of the terms of the sher- man act.
 Nobody cares for these sharehold- CTS, of course. Some of them who own only one or two shares of the Standard oil stock will receive frac- tional certificates of the subsidiary companies. This Nin be Inconven-  tent, but it is necessary. Theoret- ically, the thirty-five companies freed from the control of the trust. will become independent and com peting. If there is any virtue in the theories that have led to this dis solution, the companies will actual ly compete. Undoubtedly in compe- tition their expenses will be greater than in cooperation. It is not req sonable to expect. that the thirty five companies acting independently can reduce operating cost. The re- turns to the stockholders will, quite likely, be less than the dividends they have enjoyed upon their Stand ard oil stock. But. as we have said, nobody cares about that.
 There is a possibility that compe- tition will increase costs, as we have said. It may also lead to fluctua- lions in the price of oil to the con sumer. considerable fluctpations, SO that on the whole the price will be higher We think it may be reason ably expected that, if competition becomes a fact the price will De higher. Perhaps the only way 10 keep it down will be for these thir- ty-five companies by, some device or other to carry on their business Tn the common interest, with a com mon understanding Then MT. Wick ersham will get after them again, the court will infer conspiracy from the facts. there will be new prosecu- lions, and further punishment will be meted out But if in good faith. the companies obey the decree of the court, the consumers of illumi- hating oil will probably have to pay more for it than they have paid in the past.
 The test of a theory is in it's ap- plication. that is the test of a law. too. There is general rejoicing, of course, over the destruction of this great trust. But if oil goes up there win be grumbling all over the land. When the consumer lifts his voice to inquire why oil has gone up. only one answer will be possible. He will have to be told that the anti trust law did it-New York Times

not to be wholly and contemptuous- ly ignored in the interest of the manufacturer It amplifies and pushes farther toward completion a wise and conservative Legislative program that already includes the passage Of the reciprocity bilf and the bin revising the wool duties.
 In the form in which the free list bin came from the house. it failed of passage only by a tie vote, deyel- oping greater strength than was ex- pected. Then. with only slight modification of its provision relat- ing to meat products. it gained tue support of majority of the senators. Reciprocity being in high favor just now, the modified provision is recip- rOcal in nature, authorizing the free admission of meats from not merely Canda. but all countries that admit free to their markets. certain Amer ican agricultural products.
 The change does not affect the measure of relief which the bin promises for large numbers of the masses. If the bill Is approved. the free list will probably be the larg- est known since the Civil war. The situation governing its fate looked most complicated. but. as in the case of the wool bill. patience and good nature worked out a solution through adjustments that reflect the highest credit on democratic leadership.
 The principle on which congress sionaI indorsement has been placed in the three revision measures al- ready adopted will be one of great in the next campaign. Few intelligent men would court the further political difficulties MT. Taft will create for himself through a veto of this righteous measure.

According to reports coming daily from Mexico. there are many sec tions of that country in which law lessness prevail, and in nearly ev- cry section of it there is very little regard or respect shown for the ex- isting government Of course, Gen. Madero is not yet president, but the supposition Is that his hand is now the guiding one in the City of Mex leo. The government seems to be miserably weak and without any de- termination to command obeyanee ef law or respect Such a government cannot promote peace and prosper ity in Mexico. and the sooner this is fully recognized the better 1t will be for that country. President Diaz had his faults, but he had virtues with those faults and these virtues will be sadly missed in Mexico un- til the future brings forth a man who will put them into operation again According to press dis patches from Fl Paso. foreigners are daily reaching that city on their way out of Mexico because of the disturbances which render their bus mess and property unsafe. This IS not the condition that will command any respect either in Mexico or n neighboring countries, and the soon erer General Madero recognizes that the time has arrived for stop ping his diliydaIly methods and com polling respect and obedience to government the better it will be for Eim and the better it will be for bis country. He is allowing revolt te have its way now and it will not be long unless he himself cheeks It until he will be swept from control and perhaps find his country in the hands of the United States for paci- fication. The United States wishes Mexico well and has no desire 70 interfere with her government but this country has certain obligations to her own citizens in Mexico which will be promptly lived up to if oc- casion requires. Madero lost the confidence of a large number of people when he allowed Gen. orosco to make good his bluff on him at Juarez a few days after the battle at Juarez. and now he has allowed a bunch of customs house officials at Juarez to get away with another defiance of authority. Such incl dents will soon make the govern ment of Mexico the joke Of the civ iHzed world.

the residents of North Dakota, who
are on the extreme verge of the corn
growing era of this commonwealth.
One of the Washington editors, in
commenting upon the young agricul-
turists, says:
These youngsters represent an i'm
portant movement in the agricultural
development of this country. They
are missionaries of scientific farm
ing among their home people. in some
cases setting the pace for their par
ents by applying the laws of soil Gull
ture and practically demonstrating
the advantage of modern methods.
The good influence of this movement
among the boys of the south cannot
be calculated. 1t is bound to stimu-
late an interest in agriculture and at
the same time to increase the prOduc-
tivity of the soil. It is impossible
that these boys should work each year
and win recognition from the national
government without convincing great
numbers of people that there is some
thing better than the old hand-to-
mouth mode of cultivation. Skepti-
cism regarding the "newfangled
farming cannot very we'll endure as
long as young boys are putting it to
practical effect and making money,
more money than their elders have
ever made before from the same
areas. The most important result of
this corn club work is not in the bene-
fit which the boys themselves derive
from it, but in the demonstration that
farming can be made profitable if it
is undertaken in the right way. This
country seriously needs more farm
ers. That is to say, it needs fewer
city jewellers. The congestion Of the
towns is distinctly unwholesome, and
it is greatly reassuring to see the
boys OF the south becoming interested
in agriculture and thereby held to the
soil instead of drifting into the
corwded places, where there chances
of prosperity and happiness and right
development are questionable.

''SWAIT THE fly
. CAMPAIGN TO
Be Continued
(By Associated press,)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Cam-
paigns against the fly until the pes.
tilent:al INSECT is exterminated, was
recommended in report made to-
day by Edward Hatch, Jr., of New
York. chairman of the "fy-fghting'
committee, to the American Civic as
ISOLATION, in convention here. Mr..
Hatch told of the progress made in
waging war on the fly as breeder
and spreader OF disease
when the chairman OF this CON-
mittee, a few years ago, before the
committee itself had been formed,
began to acquaint the general pub.
lie with the danger of the fly pest"
said Mr.. Hatch, "his efforts excited
more humorous comment than seri-
GUS attention. All that is changed
now and good part of the change
has been wrought within the past
twelve months.
"Since the last annual conference
on the fly pest, letters have poured
in upon the committee from all qtar.
tiers of the country, asking for ad-
vice on the best methods of extermi-
mating the house fly. The committee
caused to be printed and circulated
upwards Of 100000 pieces of 'litera-
ture' which served as ammunition in
innumerable fly swatting campaigns.
In a number of cities, school chill
dren competed for cash prizes for
compositions which would best de-
scribe the fly's vicious career. In
many cities newspapers organized
"Swat the Fly" contests for consid-
cradle cash prizes. The numbers
scored by the winners ran into the
hundreds of thousands and the count,
$50 many flies to the quartz in Balti'
more alone reached 100000. Wash
ington boys and girls caught and
killed only 6,3S6,6Oo;; but Washing
ton can't boast Of really bumper
crop of flies.
with a view to summing up the
seasons work-taking a fly census
as it were-the committee recently
wrote to the Health Commissioners
of the different states. From the re-
plies, it appears Kansas is in the
van of the fly-fighting army. The
Indiana Board of Health distributed
text of the. anti-hy ordinance and
twelve cities and seventeen towns
adopted it. Dakota reported
marked decrease in the fly popula'
ton. Much ingenuity has been
shown by some OF the state boards
in designing anti-fiy posters.
In concluding, MI. Hatch said that
the committee, while pleased with
the results, realized that the war
against the fly was to be a long one:
"'swat the fly campaigns help"
he said, "but what we need most Is
to arouse such a consciousness OF
our duty to ourselves and to others,
that We will first swat our own flies
by depriving them of breeding and
feeding places. and then compel our
neighbors to do likewise
them by force of public opinion and
of the law as represented by that
beneficient Gear, the Health officer.
He is on our side, and with the sup
port which he is sure to receive
from the people educated by our two
years. campaign, eventually will be
able to make house flies infrequent'
if not absolutely extinct.

WAS Warned OF .
Blowing Up OF
j. 5. 5. Maine

BEDFORD. Iowa December 15.-
A. c. Brice of this city, who was
United States consul at Matanzas
Cuba, says that he was warned of
the intention to destroy the Maine,
but kept the fact from becoming pub
lie at the request of President Nc
Kinley.
In the first account of the incident
which he gave out Sunday, he said: :
1.-TWO nights, before the destruction
Of the Maine man whom l know
and who was not an American came
to my residence at midnight, and
upon the promise that l would not re-
veal his name told me the Maine
would be blown up. l sent spe.
cial messenger to: Fitzhugh Lee, con.
sui general at. Havana. but the Off.
Gals there failed to credit the warn
ing. The next day: the explosion took
place. |''
ReportedSto Mckinley. e
when I returned to the United
States I reported the incident to
President Mckinley and the Score.
tary of State and the president re-
quested that no publicity be given
the incident at that time. l respected
his wish. but feel at liberty to make
statement now that the naval board
has reported that a mine touched off
from the outside caused the ships
magazines to explode.
Il still regard my promise to my
blowing up of the battleship Maine
in Havana harbor as binding as the
day it was given. When he appeared
at my residence near midnight, two
nights before the battleship was
destroyed, took the precaution to
observe him first through window
and recognized by caller to be a
former Spanish officer no longer
connected with the Spanish army,
and Cuban sympathizer. He
demanded my assurance that I was
alone at my residence and said he
had matter Of great Importance to
relate to me, but that it meant death
to him # he was ever found out.
Uron receiving my promise never to
reveal his name,; he said the Maine
was to be blown up.
Sent Message to Lee.
''He referred to the passageways
from the governors palace. and saiG
he did not know whether the
destruction was to be executed from
there or whether the mine was
already planted and the battleship
was located by direction of the
authorities in position where it
would stand or the wind would
swing it over the mine at certain
hour.
T called my secretary, Fred
Delgado. now in Matanzas, and early
the next day he carried message
to the consulate at Havana. When he
returned l went to Havana. At no
time was credence given to the
warning. I could hardly believe it
myself, but felt that precautions
should be taken, as knew the
position of my informant as a
spaniard in sympathy with the
Cubans."
