WAYS OF RUBBER TAPPING
Natives Of Mozambique Either Uol
| Inclsion or Cook and Pound
the Bark.

There are at present in use two
native methods of extracting rubber,
The first, that Of incision or tapping,
is followed by all natives south Of
the Zambesi Valley, and it produces q
high-grade rubber known as Mozam,
bique pink, second only to best Para
on the European market. The other
method of extraction, known as
pounding, is generally followed In the
Mozambique and other northern dis,
tricts. There the bark is stripped
from the roots of the vines or from
the vines and is cooked over a slow
fire and pounded until the bark is
finally pounded out, leaving a mass OF
rubber in ali stages Of crudity. This
rubber is known as Mozambique
rooty. 1t is classed very low, but a
large concern now operating in the
Mozambique district has perfected
the system of pounding to the point
Of producing a rubber which is rapid,
~ approaching the classification OF
Mozambique pink.
A strange truth has come to light
in regard to the landolphia, and that
Is that while vines are frequently
killed by incision or tapping, this
seldom happens with the vine which
Is cut down almost to- the ground

NO NEED TO WASTE MONEY
Fathers Common Sense Answer
Should Have Driven Nonsense
From the Mind Of Son,

A certain well known actor-an es
tablished star of the first magnitude
In fact-has son who has always Civ
eh the father a great deal of trouble
Despite his inherited talent, which
would insure him permanent employ
ment on the stage, the son shows 9
fondness for living on the income OF
his parent. He can see no reason
why both of them should work.
One time the father got tired of ad
vancing money to the son. An es
arrangement had been threatening fol
a long time. Finally, the father seal
ed the climax when, in response to q
written touch for $50, he sent the
boy SIS note, with the added advice
that that was the last money he
should ever advance to him. To this
threat the son sent the following an
swer:
If you do not send me the $50 re-
quested I'll use this SIS in the purchase
Of a revolver and blow my brains out"
The father, in reply to this tragic
note, sent back this one:
II have told you time and again that
you will have to quit wasting my mon
ey on useless luxuries. Don't spend
that SIS for revolver. Come up to
the house and I'll lend you mine."

Editorial Confessions

The following confessions have been
made by Thomas E. Thompson:
81 once had a round key check with
my name on it-about the size of a
silver quarter. Occasionally when at
church I found myself dead broke
would drop that key check into the
hat for a bluff and the next day the
brother treasurer would bring it
around and I would redeem it. But
one time it went out and never came
back, and now I have to put in the
coin or give the sign Of distress.
"Once when I was on earth the first
time tried to make love to a giggly
girl. She laughed me out of court
and I was firmly convinced that she
was not capable Of sensible, serious
thought. I saw her not long ago and
she looked as If she hadn't giggled or
even smiled for score of years and
I was glad she treated me as a joke
in the other days."-Kansas City
Star.

after maturity. It is also a notable
tact that large sections Of the root Of
vine can be dug up and cut OF with,
out killing the vine. In the Mozam:
bique district there are places where
natives have been cutting roots from
the same vines year after year. The
recognition of this fact will make an
enormous difference in the estimator
OF the capacity Of the forests.-U. s.

Goes Either Wav.

A machine operable from either
end, like q street car, has been evolved
IN England, and it is. probable that the
first car will make it's appearance on
London streets in a short time. The
bus is steerable from either end, and
when 1t is desired to proceed in the
reverse direction, 1t is only necessary
for the driver and conductor to
change places.

Simeon S. Pennewill, governor of
the state of Delaware, was born in
Greenwood, Del, July 1867. His
education was received in the public
schools of his native town and at the
academy in Wilmington. Aside from
politics, the interests of Governor
Pennewill have been identified prin-
cipally with the fruit-grewing indus
try in Delaware. His public career
dates from 1899, in which year he
was elected to the state senate on
the Republican ticket. He served in
the senate until 1907 and in 1909 he
was elected to the governorship. He
has served also as president of the
state board of education and as q
member of the state board of agri-
culture. A brother of Governor Pen

Need a Larger Ring.

From the number of hats that are
being SHE'D into the gubernatorial
ring it would appear that the ring
must soon be enlarged from lack of
room.
The Red Wing Morning Republi-
can of which Tams Bixby is the head
has come out with a boom for w.
H. Putnam for governor. It appears
that Mr.. Putnam is a banker and
manufacturer and as such is consid-
cred to be representative of the
type of business man needed in the
chair of the chief executive.
From Minneapolis comes the report
that P. M. Magnussen, instructor in
social science and psychology at the
St. Cloud state normal school, is
thinking that his hat would look well
in the ring and so may file for gov-
ernor on the Democratic ticket. If
he does file, Mr.. Magnussen will be
the second academic candidate that
the Democrats will have since Prof.
G. M. Andrist, of the University of
Minnesota, has already fled

but one will be chosen. Anyway, it
gets their names before the public

Who Are Socialists

Some statistics regarding the re-
cent national Socialist party conven-
tion at indianapolis reveal frequent
ly misrepresented and more often
misunderstood. Of the nearly three
hundred delegates, seventy-five per
cent were native-born Americans, the
remainder being divided as follows,
so far as known: England IL, Ger
many 10, Canada 8, Russia and Fin
land 5 each, Scotland 4, Norway,
Sweden, Denmark and Ireland 3 each,
Holland, Austria and Poland 2 each
and Hungary, Wales, Bavaria, Rou-
mania, Bohemia, Italy, Scandinavia
and Slavonia 1 each. Of the ascer-
tained occupations of the men III
were mechanics and laborers (min-
ers, printers, carpenters, machinists,
cigarmakers, etc.,, 80 editors and
Journalists, 21 lawyers, 20 lecturers
and agitators, 1 5 clerks, bookkeepers
and statesmen, II farmers, II teach
ers, physicians and dentists, the re-
mainder being divided among mer-
chants, ministers, musicians, agents,
students, stenographers, contractors,
managers and sundry other occupa-
tions. Three-fourths held official po
sitions of some kind in the party. The
record shows one Congressman, three
state representatives, two mayors,
one alderman and one justice of the
peace present. The average age was
forty-one and one-half years, the
number of members of labor unions
103, and the average length of men,
bership in the party eight years.
A significant feature was the large
number of women delegates. Of these
there were twenty-six, both actually
and proportionately more than in any
other political party convention held
this or any other year-William

Oddities of Justice,

That the whole theory of penal
codes is practically unsound and op-
posed to the modern conceptions Of
the relation of the state to crime, !s
the contention of Eugene Smith Of the
New York bar, writing in the May
number of Case and Comment, the
lawyers magazine. Illustrating the alb
surdity and disparity between penalty
for crimes in different states, Mr..
Smith says: "The average sentence
for perjury in Florida is ten years, in
Maine one year; for larceny. in Della
ware ten years, in the District of Co.
lumbia ten months; the penalty for
arson in Pennsylvania is twice that of
burglary, but in Connecticut the guilt
of burglary is twice that of arson; the
guilt Of counterfeiting in Ohio is twice
that Of perjury, but in Rhode Island
the guilt of perjury is twice that OF
counterfeiting.

Gets s75,oOo by Court Ruling.

In reversing the circuit and sustain
ing verdict in common pleas court
for $14,396.14 in favor of the New
York Coal Co., which has offices at
the state capital, the supreme court
established precedent which will
result in the local company receiving
about $4,000 in pending suits to re.
cover amounts it claims by contract
when leased mine yields do not equal
the minimum output as per contract.
The New York company leased a
mine to the New Pittsburg Coal Co.
of Pittsburg, with provision that 10
cents royalty be paid to the lessee
and that 100000 tons a year be mined.
The output for the year did not reach
100000 tons and the local company
sued for the difference. A jury in
Judge Bigger's court returned a ver-
dict in it's favor. Three similar suits
are pending in which the New York
company is plaintiff.

Investigate Farmer Company.

The Farmers Grain & Seed Co. OF
Henry county is a unique business
enterprise recently investigated by a
representative of the college of agri-
culture, Ohio State university. 1t is
stock company of over 200 farmers,
who own an elevator and buy and sell
grain, coal, tile, fence posts, carbide
and fertilizers. The company was Or
ganized year ago with a capital
stock of $4,000, the stock to be sold
at $25 per share.
All stockholders must be farmers
and no man can hold more than eight
shares. After the stock had been sold
an elevator was erected at cost of
$4,000, leaving the company with an
Indebtedness of $4,000.
The first grain was received by the
new elevator August Z, 1911. Decem,
ber dividend of 5 per cent was
declared on the capital stock. 1t is
estimated that they will have han.
died during the year about 500,O0C
bushels of grain.
Some of the corn purchased by this
farmers company is sold. in carload
lots to inland points, but the bulk Of
the grain is sold on the four terminal
markets, Toledo, Buffalo, Baltimore
and Pittsburg. The success of this
enterprise has led to the formation
of ten other similar organizations in
Henry county. They are not yet in
operation, but expect to be in the
near future.
