Competition in Twine.

1.-The reports charge of a binder twine
trust is without any foundation what
soever,' declares the reply, which also
states that the International has had
the vigorous competition of one large
and six smaller twine manufacturers. in
addition to seven state penitentiary
twine mills.
In reply to the charge that compett-
tion has been largely suppressed" Mr.
Bancroft cites the names of eight firms
which he declares are all active COM
petitors.
! AS to the charge that the International
receives rebates from railroads and spe-
cial concessions from the United States
Steel Corporation, the reply declares
that the Harvester Company's relation
to the United States Steel Corporation
is not different from its relations with
the competitors of the steel corpora
tion." and that during the past seven
years it has bought from the steel
corporation 10 per cent Of its total
needs, while 1T has purchased 80 per
| cent from competitors OF the United
States Steel Corporation. the balance of
its needs having been supplied by the In
ternationars subsidiary corporation, the
Wisconsin Steel Company.
AS 10 the charge Of increasing prices,
| the International asserts that. insteal
of increa sing them, it's influence has
! been to prevent increases: that the self
binder sells at very low price
| relatively lower than that of any other
| farm implement or machine; that the
| selling prices are freely fixed by the
! dealers, and that the terms of credit,
the facilities furnished and expert
service are more liberal than ever be-
| fore: that although the price of raw
materials has increased more than 80
per cent. its prices were not increased
| until 1908, and then only I per cent,
and that for 1912 a reduction of per
| cent was announced last month.

a Golden Wedding.

Guided and garded by our God,
Two pilgrims have together trod,
Now bright with smiles, now wet with
tears,
Lies checkered path for fifty years.
This is the golden wedding day,
Ring out, Oh bells your sweetest lay;
And you dear friends give loving
cheers,
10 crown their march OF fifty years.
How few of us saw blushing bride,
And joyous groom stand side by side;
We had not known life's hopes and
fears
So long as fifty years.
Their fates were woven into one,
Ere our first threads OF lifew spun,
The golden warp OF fifty years.
Inc frost upon their honored heads,
the silver frost that nature spreads;
And from their hearts the tide careers,
Unchecked, unchilled BY fifty years.
Ih1s is their golden wedding day,
NOW let Us hush our song and pray;
Ihat he whose love their lot endures,
whose grace has filled these fifty
years.
Nay guide them and still ordain,
Each cup OF bliss OF Christening pain;
May soothe their griefs and wipe their
tears,
through many more than fifty years.
And when their pilgrimage 4 done,
And life's last goal barely won;

spheres,
Where moments grow 20 fifty years.

18th Wedding Anniversary.

We are in receipt or the Green
Valley Banner, Of March %, published
at Green Valley, Illinois, containing
a lengthy account OF the 25th we'd
ding anniversary or MIR. and Mrs.
w. L. Woodrow, whose parents were
former Carroll countians, and who
are well and favorably known Dy
many OF our citizens. From which
we copy the following:
"On the 18th day Of March, 1885,
at the home of the brides parents,
Mr. and Mrs. j.. II. Burns, two miles
east of town, about s1xty-hve guests
witnessed the marriage of their only
daughter, Sallie, to w. J.. WOODROW,
also Of Green Valley. Promptly at
the appointed time the young couple
marched down the stairs, unattended,
to a wedding march played by Miss
Lena Steinmetz, and took their places
in front OF the Rev. Fry, Of the nj. Il.
Church, who spoke the words that
united them for life. The bride car
ried a large bouquet OF roses and was
dressed In a gown of cream colored
brocade silk, while the groom was
dressed in the usual black. After
congratulations all partook Of care
fully prepared wedding feast The
presents were many and useful.
The young couple start out on LIES
journey under favorable circumstan-
ces, and will make their home on the
Woodrow homestead, one mile west
OF town.
Last Saturday, March 18th, 1871,
from 2.30 to IL p. M, at the spacious
and commodious home, equipped
with all modern conveniences, was
celebrated the elimination OF twenty
five years of the matrimonial journey
travelled by these two. 1t was one
of the grandest social functions ever
held in this community, and was sue
cessfully planned and executed by
the hostess. About one hundred and
twenty-five guests gathered to extend
congratulations and partake OF the
hospitalities OF Mr.. and Mrs. w. L.
Woodrow, not in the same house, but
almost in the same spot where the
groom was born nearly half century
ago.
The house was beautifully decor
ated with silver foliage and bells
which were symbolic OF the Silver
Bells Of Memory" while clusters Of
roses, carnations, sweet peas and
violets greeted one at every turn and
filled the air with their sweet per-
fume.
About o'clock Mrs. Lena Stein
metz Smith was again called upon 70
take her place at the piano, while the
host and hostess stood beneath an
arch Of silver foliage and bells and
received the hearty congratulations
of their friends.
Miss Elizabeth Firth was dressed
in the gown in which Mrs. Woodrow
was married, and gave reading en-
titled My Wedding Gown"
An informal program OF readings
and musical numbers was rendered
followed by a bounteous dinner.
There were twenty-five present
who witnessed the uniting of these
two lives and hearts, at the home q
the brides parents, quarter OF a
century ago.

time such a thing ever had been at
tempted by any company. He had
over $1,000 cases to consider, includ-
ing bonds Of Indian guardians, public
officials and others, and also had to
adjust the company's interest in the
Capitol National failure, growing out
of the fact that it was on the bond of

covering in part his deposit in the
failed bank.
The company had been considering

that the company was not yet ready

A conversation with Mr.. Manning,
however, convinced former Governor

ened by data furnished by the OKLA

RECOUNT OF ST. LOUIS
VOTE is COURT ORDER

Supreme Tribunal Issues Rules Gov
erning Conduct of Election Contests
Jefferson City, NO., Jan. 17.-The
Supreme Court in banc issued rules
governing the conduct of the election
contests in st. Louis and St. Louis
county, which involve the titles tc
three State offices.
These require a recount of the bal.
lots in the City Of St. Louis under the
supervision of the Board of Election
Commissioners, starting thirty days
from to-day, and a comparison of the
ballots with the registration lists and
notations showing any ballots cast
that were without the registration
numbers.
The three offices involved are
Judge of the Supreme Court for a
term of ten years, Judge of the Su-
preme Court for two years, and State
Superintendent of Public Schools for
a term of four years.
While different orders were issued
in each of these contests, yet the only
differences are to be found in the
names, the offices and the terms
thereof.
Romuius E. Culver, of St. Joseph,
Commissioner % take testimony in
these contests and report his finding
to the Supreme Court by May, is d.
rected to commence the preliminary
work in St. Louis and St. Louis coun-
ty within the next ten days.
The election officials in St. Louis
and St. Louis county must serve at
least five days notice on the contest
ants and contestees and their attor-i
neys before the ballots are recounted.
The court did not make any direct
order in the matter of the returns
filed by the contestees wherein they
allege irregularities and losses sus-
tained by them in a number of Demo-
cratic counties, but sentence is con!
tained in the order of the Commis-
sioner directing him to take such fur
Their steps as may be deemed ex-
pedient. This latter matter may be
subject Of a further order by the
court.

THE PASSING OF THE PIONEER.

The death of Judge John H. Sui
lens, of Walnut township, marks the
beginning of an era of reminiscent
sadness in the history of Bates coun-
ty. The passing of this sturdy blazer
Of trails forecasts the approach of
that time when his fellow pioneers
lay down their arms secure in the
knowledge Of having fought the good
fight and lived a useful life.
The life of John H. Sullens will
stand out on the pages of the history
Of Bates county as a lasting monu-
ment to his deeds.
He was man, typical Of the early
settlers of this state, who made their
own opportunities for success in a
new country, and whose hard won
victories in the battle of life have
builded for posterity the heritage Of
knowledge and opportunity, which
sustains to-day the Commonwealth Of
Missouri.
Coming to this state at a time when
Missouri was in her infancy, John H.
Sullens, by his own labors dug out
for himself an education, and con-
structed the foundation for his future.

If sewage were properly handled,
typhoid fever and many other dis.
eases would decrease greatly, accord.
ing to bulletin just published by the
University of Missouri. The En-.
cheering Experiment Station has
made careful study of the best meth
DDS of disposing of sewage in the
country.
Perhaps the simplest and most
common method is by a vault dug in
the ground. This has many objec-
tionable features, chief among which
is the possibility of spreading disease.
Water from it seeping through the
ground may carry disease germs to a
well or cistern. It has been proved
that in this way germs may travel
several hundred feet. Flies also may
carry the filth and disease to food
material in the kitchen. Such a
danger may be prevented by the gen.
