The man who discovered the statue

UNCLE SAM HAS SOME
ODD NEW VEGETABLES.
"Dasheen au Gratin" Served at Ma
tionaI Geographic Society Banquet.

At the annual banquet of the Ma
tional Geographic society at Washing
ton the guests and members were in
troduced to "dasheen au gratin." This
Is not the name of distinguished trav-
eler. Quite the contrary. it is some
thing to eat Now it is said that
dasheen is to become one of Americas
regular articles of diet, South Carolina
having had success in raising it.
At the Geographic society's dinner
the dasheen was served in place of po-
tatoes, and the guests, among them
President Taft, pronounced it dis
tinct addition to the gastronomic cat
alogue Government experts declare
they are satisfied that dasheen can be
grown at an immense profit in this
country and will encourage its cultiva-
ton. 1t has a nutty flavor, says the
Scrap Book.
Dasheen is an aroid. There are sew
eral aroids with which the government
plant bureau has been experimenting
and we shall soon have number in
| the market. The familiar ornamental
plant, called elephants ear" is one of
the most desirable edible aroids and
may serve both as food and ornament.
1t is an aroid which yields the poi
of the Hawaiians, the malanga of the
Cubans and the OTTO Of the Panamans.
It is said that aroids have fed more
people than any other product of the
soil, yet in Europe and America they
are unknown as food.
When Hawaii became a part Of the
| United States Americans learned that
the aroid known as taro formed the
basis of the native diet. Americans
learned to like it. They also learned
when we acquired Porto Rico that
there the natives lived chiefly on tart
and regarded it as their staff Of life.
It was then that the agricultural de
partment commenced to sit up and tax,
notice and experiments were started
In South Carolina from an acre Of tart
ton and a half of tubers was har
vested last year. This was the frs
large quantity Of aroids ever raised IL
this country.
The tubers are about the size of .
mans fist. They are good boiled, bak
ed or fried and are delicious whel
mashed and mixed with cream, butte
and seasoning.
They cannot mature north of tn
Mason and Dixon line.

PRESIDENT TAFT FAvoRs AN
OTHER DEMOCRATIC POLICY.

1t has long been commended b!
democrats that tariff schedules
should be considered and voted up
on separately. This policy has beer
vigorously opposed by every advocate
of high and prohiLi.ive tariffs, be
cause it would have tendency TO
prevent the combines which for many
years have succeeded in preventing
downward revision of the tariff
President Taft, however, in his Chi
cago speech last Saturday came out
equarely in favor of tariff bills by
schedules. He said:
Zone of the great objections to
the old method of framing a tariff
bill was that in order to secure its
passage every district had to be
given something in the bill in the
way of protection, whdker it need
ed it or not, for the purpose of an-
peasing the representative of that
distric- and securing his support.
This method was obviously cal
culated to produce bill drawn no.
with a view to the protection of
those industries that really needed
protection, but for many industries
that did not need it at all.
Hence the proposition has been
made, and has received the general
approval, that the various schedules
of the tariff should he considered
separately. and that the amount OF
protection to be furnished to par
ticular product should be determined
on its merits with reference to the
cost of it's production at home and
abroad.

PRociTY.


Former Governor Hoard OF Wiscon.
sin is known in all sections Of the
country as an authority ON dairying
and agriculture. He has without
doubt given the subject of Canadian
reciprocity intelligent and imparti. !
consideration, and his opinion should
be worth more than that of the
agents of the lumber trust, who are
masquerading jus. at present as
friends of the American farmer and
protesting in his name against the
Canadian pact.
In recent letter Mr.. Hoard de-
clared that most OF the opposition
against reciprocity was based on
politics. He said the measure would
be OF unbounded benefit to the
farmers.
Il have faith, he said, that reci-
procity will stimulate a demand for
the products OF labor this side Of
the line; as day follows night.
"The effect of reciprocity will be
to promote the business interests OF
both countries. In this the farmers
must not stand aloof. If they do,
