Did Chicl You Get thicl Your Share?

washington, July 16.-lf you did
not get your quota of the booze dis
pensed by Uncle Sam during the last
twelve months, it is nobody's fault but
your own, so don't blame the w. C.
T. L.. the churches or anybody else.
Certainly there was plenty and
enough to spare. If you care to study
the matter from the standpoint OF the
cool (and sober) calculator, you will
find that the aggregate output in
1911 was 175,402,S95 gallons, COM
pared with 16S,S93, $50 gallons in
1910. In addition - the domestic
production, S,674,350 gallons of spir-
its and 6,732,S23 gallons of wine
We're imported during the year. Re-
duce this to pints and divide by the
population of the United States, ac-
cording to the last census, then fig
ure what was your share. A study
of the records of homes for inebriates'
will show just what happened to the
pints you did not get, perhaps.

Germans Like Rag Time.

Berlin, July 16.-One of the chief
topics to be considered by the execu-
tive committee of the German Music
Publishers association during its ses-
sion here today will be how to dis
courage the taste for American rag
time music. Officers of the organ
ization declare that between Ameri-
can coon songs and Viennese oper-
atlas, Germany's vaunted and tradi-
tional taste for good music is rapid
ly deteriorating.
The association says the situation
has become so flagrant that pieces
like Alexander's Rag Time Band" by
the Light of the Silvery Moon"
Gee, But 1 Like Music With My
Meals" and waltz melodies from
The Chocolate Soldier" and the like
are making the Fatherland forget
that Wagner, Beethoven, Chopin,
Brahms or Liszt ever lived.

that inaugurated by the middle states

maintains headquarters in Chicago

to information concerning the kind of
soil best for certain crops and then
most advantageous use of fertilizers.
An attempt will also be made to reg

ries and the matter of premiums with
view to attaining greater Uniform

CALIFORNIA STORK
DEFEATS THE REAPER
Birth Rate Ahead of Deaths, and
Shows Good Increase Over the
Year Before.

Sacramento,-Race suicide cannot
be charged to Californians, as there
were SIC more births than deaths in
this state in 1911, according to the
final tabulations given out by Statisti-
clan Leslie of the state board OF
health.
The number of births in 1911 was
S4,S2S, or "a per cent more than the
deaths, which numbered 34,012. This
Is the first time that birth registra-
tions in California have exceeded the
annual death total.
And while the increase in deaths
In 1911 over 1910 was 1,614, or 5
per cent gain in births was $500,
or S.4 per cent.
Similarly as compared with a death
rate of 1877 per 1000 population for

SALEM MEN AGREE
NOT TO WEAR HATS

Salem, Or.-Hatless, with his bald
pate shining under midsummer
sun, r. A. Harris, state printing eX-
pert, was kept busy answering the
question, where's your hat?"
At first his friends thought he had
rushed down town after q doctor and
in his haste had not waited to get
headgear, but that was not the case.
His hatless condition is the result of
careful forethought.
At the same time a hatless man is
now bossing construction of the new
Masonic building. He is Construction
superintendent Ehrman.
Mr.. hrman and his family have
rooms at the home of Mr., Harris. The
two men engaged in a discussion of
hats, and came to the conclusion they
were a useless luxury, Harris thought
that If he didn't wear hat hair
might possibly grow on his pate again.
Ehrman concluded If he didn't wear

tory and will lend handsome back
ground to the festivities The warm
bright spring has brought out the
blooms in unusual beauty and pro-
fusion. The rose gardens are aflame
with color, and sprinkled among the
roses are richly hued poppies to give
the effect Of perfect carpets. These
flowers are, of course, not of the or
dinary wild variety, although Alex
andria is fond Of wild flowers. Sweet
peas also abound in the Marlborough
gardens and in their case unusual
species are plentiful, many doubled
pettalled blossoms being found. Many
of these flowers the dowager queen
sends to the various hospitals in
which she is interested.

would be not to tip or remove a hat in
the presence of ladies.
So they placed a ban on hats and
each agreed to buy the other a SO

a hat again.
