SLAIN BY STANDARDIZATION
Chinese Assassins Pay Penalty for
Throwing Bomb at Premier.

Pekin, Jan. 19.-The three men who
were arrested after the throwing of a
bomb at the carriage of Premier Yuan
Shi Kai were put to death by
strangling. While the execution was
in progress Yuan Shih Kai attended
the memorial rites for the captain OF
his escort, who was killed by a
splinter from the bomb.
The premier has been granted three
days leave, ostensibly on account of
indisposition arising from the excite
ment caused by the attempt on his
life. 1t is thought, however, that the
real reason is that he does not desire
to attend the conference of the en-
press dowager and the princes of the
imperial clan on the question of the
abdication off the throne, which has
been called at the imperial palace

this Is done it is beyond question that
many millions of savings may be real

the influence which vigorous, thor
oughgoing executive inquiry has on
each OF the administrative units.
In this relation it may be said that
the expenditure for the inquiry during
the present fiscal year is at the rate of
$4,000. The mass of information
which must be collected. digested and
summarized pertaining to each sub
Ject of inquiry is enormous. From the
results obtained it is evident that ev-
cry dollar which is spent in the prose
cution Of the inquiry in the future will
result in manifold savings Every
economy which has been or will be eff
fected through changes in organization
or method will inure to the benefit of
the government and Of the people in
increasing measure through the years
which follow. 1t is clearly the part of
wisdom to provide for the coming year
means at least equal to those available
during the current year. and in my
opinion the appropriation should be in
creased to 100000. and an additional
amount of $4,000 should be provided
for the publication of those results.

BIG BUTTER RECORD.

Ole Haganson, who lives on a farm
near Wilton, believes he has set a
new butter record for grade COWS.
Mr.. Haganson has five COWS and they
produced 296 pounds of butter dur
ing the months of May and June.
The same five COWS produced 1865
pounds from January, 1911, to jan
-uary, 1912. Mr.. Haganson says he
believes the record is due to the fact
that he feeds ensilage during the
summer At present, he has enough
to last until August Is and will start
feeding it again in the fall. He
points out that the records were
made over and above the amount of
home consumed cream. Mr. Hagan-
son was the first man in the country
to build silo.
