In spite of the fact that Vermont is

tention and inviting favorable comment
from her sister states. Here is tribute

quoted for the benefit of those who see
no chance to succeed in Vermont:
"New Hampshire is now the granite
state by courtesy only. 1t has lost its
place at the head of the list of granite

honor to add to its marble and other

California, Wisconsin, Washington,
New Hampsheir, Rhode Island, Georgia,
Maryland, Minnesota, North Carolina,
Oregon and Connecticut following
along in that order as granite pro-

induce the company to improve condi-

granted In due time grading, seed

WHO OWNS KANSAS ISLANDS
Decision Of Supreme Court May start
Much Litigation-AIl Over Islands
in Arkansas River.

Topeka. April 9.-W. E. Davis, state
auditor. expects the decision OF the
Kansas supreme court in the Arkan-
sas river island case to bring more
litigation into Kansas courts within
the next year than any other kind OF
lawsuits the court has had in years.
The court held that all islands in
streams designated as navigable by
the government, belonged to the state
and should be sold as school lands and
are open to settlement as such.
There are hundreds of islands IN
thu Arkansas river, some large and
some SMALL" Mr.. Davis said. Few
have ever been surveyed and many
are now held by the owners of the
land adjoining the island. That Will
be one source of litigation as 1t Will
bring many lawsuits against settlers
by the men who now claim the islands.
I know of several islands where there
are men preparing to settle on them
as soon as they hear Of this decision
and the lawsuits will start just as soon
as the settlement is made"

Washington, April 9.-Twenty rep
resentatives of the leading grain ex
changes were granted a hearing BY
the house committee on agriculture ir
opposition to the pending bills to pro
hibit dealing in grain and cotton flu
lures. They tried to convince the
committee that the grain states do not
want such legislation, and asserted
that the passage of any of the pending
anti,option bills would be detrimental
to producer and consumer, as we'll as
disastrous for investors on exchanges
and the bankers. 1t was admitted
that there were some evils connected
with speculation in grain but they in
sisted that the present system of deal
ing in futures and options brings high
err prices to the farmer, lower prices
to the ultimate consumer and stability
of conditions generally.
Risk is Small.
John Aspegren of the New York Pro
duce exchange said that the 'specula'
tive risk of those handling the deal
ings in grain futures was only one
sixteenth of per cent. On the other
hand, he declared, the speculative risk
of those dealing in vegetables and 9TH
er products was from % to 40 per
cent, and this risk was added to the
cost to the consumer. If potatoes and
other products of the dining table
could be graded so as to be dealt In
on exchanges, he said, the speculative
risk would be reduced and the cost OF
living lowered.

vest, principally on account or the
farmers and local elevator men not

opinion the result would be that in

the market until the bulk Of the grain

PENSIONS FOR SERVICE.
General Torrance Insists That Rewards
Should Be Based on That Alone.

General Ell Torrance of Minneapolis,
chairman of the legislative committee
Of the q. A. r., told the pension COM
mittee of the senate that the Grand
Army favored a pension bill based on
both age and service, carrying about
$30,O00,000 annually. Representative
Isaac Sherwood of Ohio, author of the
service pension bill bearing his name
that recently passed the house, said
that he was not welded to any par
ticular bill. but he insisted that service
alone should be the test of reward.
The plan advocated by General Tor
rance for the Grand Army is covered
by proposition originally suggested
by Senator McCumber, chairman of
the senate committee on pensions. 1t
proposes that pensions for veterans
sixty-two years of age shall vary from
$12 month for ninety days service
to $21 month for three years serv-
ice; that sixty-six -year-old veterans
shall have S15 a month for ninety
days and $24 month for three years
service; that seventy -year-old veterans
shall receive $1S for ninety days serv-
ice and SGT for three years service:
thdt veterans seventy-five years old
days service and $50 for three years
service. 1t is estimated that under
this scheme there would be 387 ,957
pensioners, receiving In the aggregate
