Aunt Selma put her clothes in a tub
IN the laundry and proceeded to dress
them like vegetable. She threw in
a handful Of salt, some kerosene oil
and little ammonia. The result was

Dnuffed it-she said it needed a bar

Increasing Trade Abroad.

The American consul at Frankfurt,
Germany reports a steady increase in
the volume Of American-made goods
handled in that city since 1908. Eight
years ago, he says, very few of our
wares we're to be seen on display
there, but now they are common. This
is gratifying, for the country has been
hearing a great deal from these con-
suls as to the lack of American enter
prise and trade in many of the i'm
portant old world centers. II was to
stimulate our business abroad that
the government, acting upon the ad-
vice of its consuls, organized them
into a sort of commercial missionary
society to return home at intervals
and go among the manufacturers and
merchants preaching the needs to be
fulfilled and ways to do 1t.
But this Frankfurt consul has a
word to add, which modifies his good
report. He finds trade conditions far
from satisfactory. While much good
has been accomplished by meansof the
scheme Of having American travellers
inquire at the shops for American
made goods, greater results are lack
ing because American tradesmen do
not send and maintain their special
agents in Frankfurt and other import
ant European cities. 1t stands to reason
that If our commercial representatives
resided there, as do the representa-
tives of other countries, our trade
would show the effect very soon.
When, for instance, Frankfurt mer-
chant wishes to place an order he is
likely to place It with the representa-
tive on the ground, instead of taking
all the risk of cabling It to a house
over the ocean, which does not think
enough of his patronage to cultivate
It. In this way we are losing trade
in all big cities, so our consuls report.
Another thing our manufacturers
are advised to do is to be more gener-
Gus with their samples, either to give
them free of charge or to make a
charge that will be inviting, for COM
petition is keen and so long as the
dealers of other countries pursue
these methods, Americans will have
to meet them. It would seem that
Yankee thrift should not have to be
Ichidden on these points more than
once.

The Kern BoOmlet.

And now Mr.. Bryan has showed his
friend, Senator Kern, out into the

temperature is still very chilly. He

Dental free-for-all swimming match,

He may run the number up twice it's

been selected, with Uncle Joe Cannon,
to lead the whiskers side Of. the great
debate against the bald-heads at
Washington, so that his enforced entry
Into the other race injects into 1t the
spice of variety. Governor Wilson,
Speaker Clark and Mr.. Bryan are all
lclean-shaven, and Governor Harmop
has only a mustache, though equally
bald with the best of them. Mr.. Kern
announces his inability to carry out
his part In the debate, but we observe
no such disposition on his part
twoard this other little controversy
Undoubtedly he will be there at the
summing-up with his friend Harmon
to match his good old Indians
whiskers against the ohioan's slicl

CONTESTANTS.
Perhaps Mr.. Kern's strength, like
that of Samson of old, dwells In the

Chilly Nav DAYS.

May day, 1911, proves not much I'M
like May day. The chilly weather this
year, coming after a period Of beauti-
full days and helpful spring rains, was
by no means unprecedented. May in
this valley often loses its sweet tran
quillity long enough to show US a very
ugly disposition. In 1907 the month
was more than half gone before 1t be-
gan to Justify the happy illusion of its
name. On May 1, we had ,em-
perature ranging from 81 to SO and on
May 2, from Al to 56, while May 8,
the temperature went lower and two
inches Of snow fell here. four inches at
Lincoln and more at other points in
Nebraska and Kansas. The cold snap
was widespread; snow fell again May
4, and the weather continued cool up
to the 18th, when another snow fell
and in Omaha the temperature ranged
from "a to 81, though at North Platte
IL was as low as 90.
Yesterday when people awoke on
the first May morning and found snow
flurries had fallen during the night
and the atmosphere was decidedly
sharp, many of them naturally jumped
to the conclusion that it meant the
doom of fruit, but that is not certain,
II the experts are dependable. In fact,
the fruit has got along so well thus
far, the spring has been so much more
favorable than usual, that the buds
should be able to Withstand the rigors
of inclement weather. While this cold
snap is extensive and more severe at
other points carrying possibility of
much damage, results may not be seri-
Gus, at least in this immediate Vicinity.
Thus far orchardists have found little
damage done to fruit, which is in
much better condition to escape the
frost blight than 1t was four years ago.

WHAT MONEY CANNOT BUY.
Spirit and spOntaneity the Essence of
National Song.

Wall Street Journal.
When the school teachers of Chicago pro-
pose to collect cent from every child of
school age, to ralse 5000 as a prize for a
national song one wonders what kind
of education these children are receiving
in other respects, If there is one thing
which our dollhouse civilization should have
taught us more clearly than another, It is
that the things worth having are precisely
those which money cannot buy.
Could all the wealth of Wall Street buy
the Marseillaise? Could we pay a Haydn
to write Hymn to the Emperor" like
the Austrian national anthem? Have we
not been obliged to steal the music and
even the words Of our national songs from
other people2 And yet the school teachers
of Chicago have failed TO learn that all
our wealth has not been sufficient to buy
the thing which their children are taught
to believe, is within the reach OF a few
pence.
When shall we get people to realize that
some things are spontaneous, and cannot
be bought with gold or stimulated by legls-
lation? Songs are born in the heart and
not In the breeches-pocket. People are good
for reasons beyond the reach. of legislation
and neither the law-maker nor the money
maker knows a charm for IS per cent OF
the sorrows they endure or Of the happi-
nesses they enjoy. The greatest works OF
all time have been done for love and not
for money. Plenty of us spend as much
on q dinner for few friends as Milton re.
ceived for Paradise Lost" and do not
think we are very extravagant. either.

Can Logrolling Be STONED :

Can logrolling be stopped? Enact
ment in Wisconsin of a law which has
gone to the governor aiming to put an
end to this admittedly serious evil will
probably help us to the answer, for II
this Wisconsin law fails to accomplish
the object 1t will be hard to devise a
measure that will.
What Wisconsin proposes TO do is
to make logrolling a felony by pro-
hibiting any member of the Legislature
to agree to vote for or against any bill
in consideration of some other mem
Der agreeing to vote for or against any
other bill 1t goes further by also
prohibiting a member of the legisla-
ture TO agree to vote for or against a
bill in consideration that the governor
vetoes or signs any bill or appoints or
removes anyone from public once.
The penalty for persisting In logroll-
ing or vote trading in violation OF the
law is a fine of $1,000 or imprison-
ment not exceeding three years.
II is easily conceivable that with
such law in force a revolution would
ensue IN all our legislative bodies, for
mighty few measures are written on
the statute books except through the
agency OF vote swapping. No men,
Der of legislature in his right mind
would under ordinary circumstances
deliberately swap himself into the PEN
itentiary in order to swap a bill
through. Unfortunately, it takes two
to make a trade, and II both are
equally guilty. neither will be likely
to furnish the evidence to convict the
other. II Wisconsin. therefore, makes
Roadway in stopping logrolling It may
expect its example to be quickly fol.
lowed in other states.
