W. J Small Finds Conditions Similar tc
Those in Canada.
The farmers of the upper peninsula
should pay particular attention to
dairying il they wish to make money.
They should raise only thoroughbred
stock, and should raise the teed tor.it
on their own places There is no rea
son why the upper. peninsula cannot do
as well in dairying as any other part
OF the United States, or as any part
OF Canada

cription of conditions in Canada at the

ing IN value and the western country

enthusiastic over the opportunities
presented in the dairy industry. In
the eastern provinces milk Is bought
by Americans from New York, and il
is beiieved Canada will, in large mea.

of New York in the near future
Mr.. Small says that the climatic and
soil conditions of Ontario are similar
to those of the upper peninsula Bar
ley was one of the crops raised i'm on
tario which is aiticularly suitable for
this section. Many farmers In Ontario
who make a speciality of dairying raise
corn Tor storage in silos, having found
ensilage good fodder for cattle. Mr..
Small was pleased to hear OF the decis-
ion OF the state agricultural board not
to do away with the experimental farm
at Chatham, and he predicted the up

the best dairy sections in the country.

and ran. still carrying the ball. Her
pursuer began belaboring her with his
club as the pair went racing over the
links. Finally the COW, on reaching a
putting green. dropped the ball. 1t
landed in good position and the
golfer holed out in one stroke. Justice
Harlan followed in leisurely fashion
and made it in eight strokes, claim

Brown Bread Baker.

Mayor Gaynor was talking about ad-

erage advertisement" he said. Even
when advertisements exaggerate, they
are written in good style.
THE best advertisements don't ex.
aggerate; but there are some few ad-
vertisement writer's who seem to think
that, in their line of work, little ex.
aggeration does no harm.
"They remind me, in their mistaken
views, of a miner. The miner was
passing a bakery with friend. and
in front of the bakery stood a very
untidy baker.
"'Gee.' said the miners friend, point
ing his pipe at the filthy baker dis
pustedly-'gee' what a dirty-looking
chap to be a baker, eh?'
But the miner explained with a
smile:
"'Oh. that's all right He's just the
fellow, you know, who bakes the

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

Besides its soap-tree, the West In

Gouamia domingensis of San Domingo
One end of a piece of the dried stem

To popularize lighting and heating
by electricity, various plans are being
tried by European electric stations. In
Bremen limited current is offered to
small users. making 1t practicable for a
workingman's family to use specified

candlepower-and no more. the cost

lighting. The house may be wired for
any number of lamps, the current
limiter preventing the use of more
than the contract number at one time.
In Vienna, the municipal plant is seek
ing to encourage electric baking, and
provides free ovens for local bakeries,
guaranteeing that the electric current
shall not cost more than sources of
heat. hitherto employed. Great results
are expected. Among the advantages
cleanliness, greater ease of manage
ment and regulation. and the banish-
ment of chimneys and flues. 1t is
Furthermore stated that smaller ovens
will do the same baking, as loaves can
be packed closer.
A novel method of bringing nascent

SMooT BACKS WOOL FIGHT

Senator Reed Smoot, of Utah, one
Of the most unrelenting reactionaries
in public life. is to direct the admins
tration tariff on the floor of the United
States senate.
That Smoot is to be the administra-
ton spokesman in the contest over
the revision of the wool schedules,
around which the entire tariff discus
sion will center, is a matter of keen
satisfaction to the woolen manufactur-
ers of the country in general and to
the directors Of the so-called wooden
trust in particular.
Smoot, a member of the powerful
Senate Finance committee, had his
training for the important part he has
been designated to play during this
session, under the tutelage of former
Senator Nelson w. Aldrich.
The Mormon church, of which Smoot
is an apostle, is understood to be inter

LOEB MAY BE CHAIRMAN

1t is the generally expressed opinion
among wise politicians that II Presi-
dent Taft is renominated as the candi-
date for the presidency on the Repub-
lican ticket Collector Loeb. of New
York, will be chairman of the Re-
publican National committee.
The story of the rise of William
Loeb Jr., is one of hard work, an un-
conquerable determination to succeed,
backed by love for the political
game. combined with keen insight into
character.
Mr. Loeb is of German descent. The
straitened financial circumstances
of his parents forced him to leave
school before he had finished the
course and prohibited any thought of
a college education. He took up the
study of law. but finding that slow and
improbable he studied stenography
between times and later branched out
into shorthand reporting.
From the start he was interested in
politics and worked hard for his dis

A Hold-Up
An Oppressive Trust.

Before the Coffee Roasters' Association, in ses.
sion at Chicago on Thursday, Thomas J. Webb,
Of Chicago, charged that there is in existence .
coffee combine which Is ''the most monstrous i'm
position in the history Of human commerce."
There Is very slight exaggeration about this
statement. It comes very close to being literally
true. There is a coffee combine In Brazil, from
which country comes the bulk Of the coffee used
In the United States, which is backed by the gov
eminent Of Brazil and financed by it, which COM.
pels American consumers, Mr.. Webb said, "to
pay famine prices for coffee when no famine
exists"
The worst thing about this is that the consum.
ers of the United States have been compelled to
put up the money through which this combine,
to further cinch them, has been made effective.
There were formerly revenue duties imposed upon
all coffee entering the United States. Those taxes
were denounced an imposition upon the people;
as taxing the poor mans breakfast table, and the
like. The taxes were removed. Immediately
thereafter Brazil imposed an export duty upon
coffee up to the full amount of the former customs
taxes in this country. The revenue which for
merly went into the treasury Of the United States
was diverted to the treasury of Brazil. The poor
mans breakfast coffee continued to cost him the
same old price.
But this was only the commencement. The
''valorization' plan was evolved in Brazil.
Through this plan the government, using the rev.
enues derived from the export duties for the pur-
poses, takes all of the surplus crop in season Of
large yields and holds it off the market, thus
keeping the supply down to the demands of the
market and permitting the planters to receive a
much higher price than they would otherwise
have done.
The United States consumes more Brazilian cof-
fee than does the rest Of the world. We are the
best customers Of Brazil, and Brazil buys little
from US. Now Brazil is promoting, financing and
maintaining trust designed, and working effect
lively for the purpose, to compel American con-
sumers to pay an exorbitant price for the coffee
they use. What il the remedy7-Seaas Post-IA-
