The Pink Paper is stirring up the
query as to why the Taxpayers are paying
1900 in rentals and interest on bonds
for court house tnat IS not yet built.
The sum of $4,000 is however only the
amount OF interest on 100000. bonds.
The rentals of the various buildings and
rooms, with the extra cost of heating
and Inconvenience, temporary vaults,
etc. would make at least 8, 900. year
more. The figures given by the Pioneer
Express during the court house cam
paign we're hooted at as extravagant,
but the actual facts prove that they
were far too small. The total cost of re.
moval, delay, and temporary quarters

COOKING Potatoes.

Potatoes can be fed to hogs with good
results, but they should be cooked first.
In experiments it has been found that 4
rounds Of cooked potatoes are equal to
one pound Of grain feed. The potatoes
ahouid be fed with grains as alone they
form an. unbalanced ratlon. The grain
feed should not be cooked as the raw
grain is more digestible.

The social benefits Of such organiza.

large.
Neighbors get together at such meet
ings on somewhat different level than
the ordinary visiting. That in itself is
worth much to the ne,ghborhood. 1t
makes better friends and better neigh.
bors. The program may include every
thing Of interestto farmers and wives in
particular. as we'll as topics Of interest
to all kinds Of people-but politics and
religious questions should be absolutely
barred.
The inception and carrying on Of such
clubs will devolve on two to four people.

committee took an oath OF secrecy.
From all that could he learned tonight
the plan Of revision most favored con-
templates a duty reduction Of more than
80 per cent, fixing the tariff at about 80
cents 4 hundred pounds on refined sugar,
a cut from the present duty Of Sl.9O and
the assessment Of consumers or In
tcrnal revenue tax on all manufactures
OF sugar OF from seven -siXt9emths 10 half
cent pound.
The call for the caucus is Tor consid =
Grafton OF the sugar schedule and othe!
revenue measures. The committee has
been considering an increase on rubber.
Iaces and other things that might be
classcd as luNuries to make up rcvc-
nue that would be lost by reducing the
sugar duty, Sugar brings in between
SIS. 600. 900 and oOoo.oOo revenue a

In inc committee the fight has been
between the champions OF free sugar
and the advocates OF reduction who IA
vor q tariff for revenue only. Chairman
Underwood has urged big cut In the
duty on sugar and the creation of u
consumers tax to be paid by the manu-
facturcr on every pound Of sugar sold.
The advocates OF FREQ sugar have urged

ADMITS FAILURE To
STAVE OFF STRIKE
British Government Will
Probably Legislate to Settle
Coal Mine Trouble.

LONDON. Feb. 2S.--Aftcr negotiations
lasting d week. the government tonight in
an official communication admits its fail
uro 10 staVe of a national coal strike.
Negotiations viii be resumed tomorrow,
bur little is expected from these.
The deadlock is graver than anticipated.
II has been supposed that the greatest
hostility would arise from the Welsh mine
owners and public opinion was veering in
favor of the miners. who. il was thought.
would be satisfied with the concessions
OF the principle OF o minimum wage,
leaving their adjustment of details 10
subsequent arbitration or negotiations.
il is now seen that the miners them
selves are placing the greatest obstacle
in the way OF a peaceful solution by in
sisting upon tthelr own Interpretation Of
the terms of the minimum wage,
II Is this aspect OF the situation which
renders the outlook almost hopeless.
At the same time it is felt that the
governments efforts have not been
wasted. The government has secured the
assent OF 80 per cent of the mine owners
OF the country to the principle OF Il mini
mum wage, thus greatly facilitating its
task should IT be deemed advisable TO
resort To legislative enforcement OF the
minimum wage.
According To- opinion ln the iobbies OF
parliament tonight this will be the next
stcp should the conferences which are
TO be resumed tomorrow show that the
deadlock is insuperaolc.
a meeting OF tho cabinet has been called
for tomorrow 10 DISCUSS the governments 3
policy I'm View of the effort TO avert q
strike, and II is said that an important
statement will be made 10 parliament.
The general expectancy Is that tho gov
ernment will Introduce a minimum wage
bill and there is also talk or the inten-
tion OF the crown To purchase some or
the coieries In the Wales district, 80
that henccforth IL VIII be impossible TO
