Navy in Fight for a Wooden Indian

THE authorities of the state of Della
j re have communicated - The navy
department e request that the wooden
statue of Tecumseh, Indian chief,
which formed the figurehead of the
old ship of the line Delaware, be turn
ed over to them, but tn officers who
have graduated from the naval acad-
envy, where the figure of the old brave
is now, are not likely to permit its re-
moval without vigorvas protest.
Not only is the feeling general that
the naval academy is the proper loca-
ton for as many of the relics of the
old navy as can be secured. but the
peculiar position of old Tecumseh in
the traditions of the academy make
it's removal almost out of the ques-
tion.
Brought to Annapolis shortly after
the return of the acc.5emy from New
port, to which it was transferred dur
ing the Civil war, and set up in a
prominent place between the old sea-
manship building and the department
of ordnance and gunnery, the mid
shipmen almost at once raised the
statue to the position of an idol. and
daubed it THE God of 2.5," the figure
being that which 1t is necessary to OBJ
tain In order to pass an examination
at the academy.

COST OF GRAIN
GROWING IN
CENTRAL CANADA

A careful canvass made of a num-
Der of men farming in large way
indicates that even with the extreme
expense Of harvesting the crop, which
has been caused by the bad weather
and difficulty in threshing, wheat has
been produced and put on the market
for less than SO cents a bushel The
average freight rate is not over 13
cents per bushel. This would make
the cost Of production and freight 6S
cents and would leave the farmer an
actual margin on his low-grade wheat
OF 171s cents and for his high-grade
wheat Of 1914 cents; and though this
is not as large profit as the farmer
has every right to expect, it is profit
not to be despised, and which should
leave very fair amount of money to
his credit when all the expenses of
the year have been paid, unless the
value of low-grade wheat sinks very
much below it's present level. A mat
ter OF Importance to the prospective
settler is that of the cost of produc-
ton. The following table has been
