A NEW TRIUMPH in THE EAST
Minnesota, Montana and Washington Coveted Prizes
att NewY York Lands

Messrs. Van Cleve and Sudduth of
Broadview, Montana, on the line of
the Great Northern Railway in yell
lowstone County, won the silver cup
for the finest exhibit of alfalfa.
On oats the silver cups went to
Messrs. Patten and Hartman of Boze-
man. The oats of their exhibit was
of yield of 154 bushels to the acre.
weighing forty-five pounds to the
bushel.
Four years ago almost any farmer
in the east would have scoffed at the
idea that Montana could produce
prize winning crops of any kind of
grain. The exhibits at the New York
Land Show have brought more honor
to Montana than any other one Incl
dent in the history Of the state.
Montanans have a right to be proud
of their home state, and the next
few years will witness tremendous
immigration to that state as a result

Would Regulate Trusts.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.-Seth Low,
president of the National Civic feder-
alton, and former mayor of New York,
gave to the interstate commerce COM
mission of the sen ate today his per-
sonal views as to the best methods for
controlling the trusts.
He urged the federal licensing of all
interstate corporations, giving them
permission to incorporate with set
tied charter II they 90 desired.
He suggested the appointment of
federal commission to look after the
org aniz alton and the acts of companies
oper ating in more than one state.
'The tendency to combinatio in
trade agreements is universal" said
Mr.. Low, "the government is UNDER
taking the impossible if it tries to pre-.

He expressed the belief that many
trade agreements limiting output are
in the public interest and should be
regulated rather than prohibited.

TARIFF BOARD REPORT.
Important Document Will Soon 81
Given Publicity.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE much
discussed repor, of the tariff board on
the wool schedule of the Aldrich tariff
bill and the wool industry will be in
the hands OF President Taft not later
than December IL. This prediction
was made at the White house to-
day after a visit of Chairman Emery
and A. II. Sanders of the board. The
cotton report will be sent to the White
house few days later.
Mr.. Taft spent nearly an hour with
the two membe of the board and
urged them to make all possible haste
in the preparation Of both reports,
and the board will work nights and
Sundays until its work on these two
schedules and industries is completed.
Mr.. Taft's two special tariff mes
sages, one on wool and the other on
cotton, it became known, will be
formal documents. Under the act
ere eating the tariff board, it is not ex.
pected to make recommend ations for
tariff regulations to congress.
It's reports will show the compare
tive cost of production of wool and
cotton in the various states in the
United States and abroad, but it will
not contain conclusions as to any
rates.
1t was said at the White house to be
the presidents understanding that the
houss ways and means committee vii
make it's own investigation of the
wooden industry after it receives th'
tariff boards report. The president
it was said, would hesitate, therefore
to recommend the specific rate whel
congress planned q supplementary in
vestig alton of it's own.
Reports that the tariff board ha'
been split over the report on raw WOO
and its need of protection. were denie'
> by Mr.. Emery and Mr.. Sanders afte

SAVE THE BIG FISH

A little discussion has occurred be-
tween Editor Harris of the Ocala Ban
ner and his Fides Achates, Judge Les
ter Warner, as to whether the big fish
or little fish should be captured-hav-
ing in view the preservation of the
species. The editor couLselled the
killing of the big fish because they ate
so many little ones. The judge cor
reefs him. The Times, agreeing with
the Judge, has long known that the
proper policy for maintaining a full
supply of fish is to liberate and return
to the water all the large members of
the finny tribe. They will spawn eggs
and replenish the waters, which the
little fellows cannot do until they
grow up. The general policy of all
our fish laws is at variance with the
facts and common sense
While it is true that big fish do eat
great many small fish, it is a core
lated fact that they usually prefer the
spawn of other varieties than their
own. Also the female of the black
bass, as sample, will defend the nest
and the Matching eggs and the young
fry from the voracious male until the
little ones are able to swim and hide
themselves from the observation and
reach of the cannibal. This is only
approximately true, but it is so as far
as the female fish can make it. How
ever this point may strike the reader,
there is no doubt the way to have
plenty of fish in the future is to spare
the big old ones which can spawn
eggs in great numbers.-Tampa

about one mile from the city dock,
and trucks something like twenty-five
acres of it, is this week engaged in
picking for the first time his five-acre
bean field, having twenty-five people
at work, and when they are through
Mr.. Hansen will have 500 crates,
which will bring him $1,000, and still
the field will be picked three times
again before the vines cease bearing
The field will not yield quite as much
in the other pickings as it will in this
first one, but those who have seen
the crop say that Mr.. Hansen will
gather at least fifteen hundred crates
which at low figures should net him
$3.50 a crate.-Kissimmee Valley Ga

BIRD EATS FROM HAND

Mrs. Geo. A. Berry, of Bradford, Pa,
who owns a pretty vine-covered win
ter home on Boyer street, opposite
the lower park, rad contributed in her
yard four years ago a pretty little
bird house, elevated on a post about
twelve feet from the ground.
II was not long after the miniature
bird home was built before the birds
which gathered about in the oaks and
orange trees in the yard and park dis
covered it, and took possession. First
one kind would come and then anoth-
er; perhaps there would be a little
'scrapping"' now and then to see
which would have possession. At any
rate, after a time a flock of Martins
became masters of the situation and
since then each year they have arriv-
ed at about certain time in Febru-
AIRY, when with their loud gatherings
they announced the fact that they
. were here for the season.
A little Tom-tit comes with them,
and he has become Mrs. Berry's most
familiar pet. While she sat in an
easy chair on her veranda Tuesday at
noon, a gentleman friend also occu-
plying a chair a few feet away, the
writer stopped at the gate for a mo
ment, when his attention was attract
ed to the little blue jay" as the gen
fleman on the veranda called it. Il
sat on a limb of the overshadowinl
oak tree. Mrs. Berry spoke and mo
toned to 1t. and in less time than i
takes to write it. Tom-tit, with &
chirp. fits down under the veranda
lights on Mrs. Berry's hand. anC
quickly picking up the dainty morse
she has for him, flies back up into tn,
tree. He quickly devours it. Mrs
Berry motions again. and down come,
Tom-tit after the second bit of food
This time he hesitates little, but |
reassuring word from Mrs. Berry sooi
brings him TO her hand, when h,
picks up the food and flies away.
This little incident shows how mucl
can be accomplished through fore
thought and kindness sto birds, and w,
hope that others will become, as i
Mrs. Berry. a true friend of our wood
land ongsters.-Tarpon Leader.

AT TALLAHASSEE
rom Tuesdays Daily:

From Tuesdays Daily:
Tallahassee is bedecked in her best
bib and tucker" today. 1t is the most
beautiful season of the year there.
The roses are in flower, and they
bloom there more rankly and gor-
geously than at most any other spot
on earth. The flower gardens are
quite numerous; some of them are
very large and all of them are we'll
kept. The old city has never lost its
old-fashioned hospitality, which in
ante-bellum days gave it a reputation
which placed it in a class almost by
itself.
Some of the members of the legis-
lature arrived as early as Saturday,
and most of them by Sunday. All of
them were there in time to participate
in the caucus which met Monday
night.
The Hobbies of the principal hotels
were crowded Sunday and all day yes
terday with the aspirants for the va
rious positions, with their lieutenants,
and the primary has not destroyed
the potency and power of the lobby
list.
Mr.. Chas. A. Finley of Lake City
had no opposition for clerk of the SEN
ate, and Mr.. j. G. Kellum of Alachua
was as fortunately situated in his can
didacy for clerk of the house.
Nat Walker was elected reading
clerk of the house; G. o. Rivers, as
sistant clerk, and Charles Gray is re-
cording clerk.
The other candidates had sharp OPP
position, and were not elected until
late hour.
Governor Gilchrist will submit his
annual message today at one o'clock,
and it will be released for publication
at that hour. 1t is printed in PAM
phlet form, and with the index and
cover embraces 112 pages. 1t is a fine
state paper, and we hope that the leg
islature will do the governor the hon
or of having it read by the chief
clerks in both houses.
1t covers a great many topics, is
by no means fulsome in any particu-
lar, and will be pronounced a most
creditable state paper.
We shall take occasion to quote
from it literally tomorrow, and in flu
ture issues of the Banner.
Attorney General Park M. Tram
nell also submits his recommends
lions to the legislature, which is
constitutional requirement, and his
are all excellent.
We shall ltake occasion to quote
from it also in future issues of this
paper.
1t is believed that the present ses-
sion of the legislature will do some
very effective work.

cATARRH is SURELY A DANGER.
Gus DISEASE

Thousands of people allow catarrh
to slowly undermine the whole sys-
tenn until serious disease develops
sometimes consumption.
Poole who have catarrh ssould use
every effort to get rid of it, but should
above all adopt sensible method.
Stomach dosing, sprays rand douches
won't cure catarrh because it is a
germ disease, and the germs must be
destroyed be fore the disease can be
conquered.
HYOMEI is the one sensible sure
for catarrh because it reaches every
fold, crevice and nook in the mucuous
membrane and gets where the germs
are. You breathe HYOMEI and as it
passes over the inffamed membrane
its soothing influence heals the sore
ness and destroys the germ.
A complete HYOMEI outfit costs
$1.0O. This consists of bottle of
HYOMEI and a hard rubber inhaler.
Pour few drops of HYOMEI into
the inhaler and breathe it few min
utes each day, that's all you have to
do. 1t is guaranteed by The Post
Office Drug Store and druggists every
where to cure catarrh, coughs, colds
and sore throat or money back. Elk
