The report of the department OF COM
merce and labor shows that for the
eight months ending with February this
country imported foodstuffs to the value
of $685. 900 as compared with $224.OO0.-
COO in the corresponding period the pre-
vious year. In 1902 the importation of
food products amounted to only s145.0O0.- :
600. This means that in 10 years such
imports have almost doubled. Formerly
the United States helped to feed the
outside world now We are not even
feeding ourselves, What the country
needs today is more farmers. The ne
cessities of life will remain at nigh
figure as long as our urban population
continues to increase three times as
fast as our rural population.

a big factor in Vermont's political af-
fairs after he returns to his home town
for permanent residence.

Commit Suicide When Cornered by

Paris, May 16.-Bullet holes found
in the left temples of both Octave Gar
nier, the real leader, and Wallet, the
last of the notorious auto bandits, who
were found dead after a three-hour
battle with 5000 police and soldiers,
led to the belief that the two men
killed themselves when the attacking
forces entered the villa at Nogent,
four miles from Paris, after II was
blown up with melinite.
II 1t said that GARNER and Wallet
were planning coup similar to that
of March 20, when five of the bandits

killing the chauffeur, robbed the So

and murdered two clerks.
An accomplice, who was on his way
to arrange the details, was arrested
by gendarmes at the Northern rail
way depot Tuesday afternoon and II

Taft and Roosevelt Exchange
More Compliments.

Cleveland, May 16.-President Taft
and former President Roosevelt con-
tinued their campaign tours through
Ohio and neither was backward in re-
ferring to the other. Colonel Roose-
welt remarked at Norwalk that the
powers of privilege in the Democratic
party, as represented by the great
newspapers in New York and Massa-
chusetts, were all arrayed against him
and for Mr.. Taft.
Mr.. Taft declared there was a great
difference between the Roosevelt of
1904, who thought two presidential
terms enough, and the Roosevelt OF
today, who is chasing all over the
country after the nomination.
Mr. Taft told his Roseville audience
that he pointed with pride to the rec
ord of trust prosecutions by his ad.
ministration. He then said he was
feeling the effects of these prosecu'
tions in his campaign.
