In This Country on Danish
Agricultural Cooperation
and Conservation

COPENHAGEN, Mar. 9.-Dr.
Maurice tEgan, the United States
minister to Denmark, has been in
yited by the Southern Commercial
Society to make series of talks on
Danish Agricultural Cooperation
and Conservation" before the
Southern Chambers of Commerce
of the United States
The position of Denmark as a
school for the study of scientific
agriculture is becoming more i'm
portant every year and Dr.. Egan
has made close study of the
methods which have made Denmark
leader in cooperative agriculture,
especially in the effect Of the plan
on the cost of living. This feature
will be considered at length by the
lecturer in America
When questioned in regard to the
invitation to speak on this subject
in thefUnited States, Dr.. Egan de-
clared- that such a request had been
made. He said that he believed
that the success of the Danish farm
ers was not only due to their perfect
cooperation .bu also to the fact that
they receive the hearty support and
sympathy of the national and pro-
vincial government.
In effecting this" he said, sit
was necessary to Insure the success
OF cooperative agricultural ven-
ture6that the state should. have a
certain power OF examination over
the products sent to market In
moulding the opinion of the farm
ing population here the government
has the valuable aid of the Danish
high schools. They include both
summer and winter sessions for
students of mature years of both
sexes. These schools, by encour-
aging national and provincial pride,
are at the very root of the feeling
which induces the Dane to make ev-
cry sacrifice to remain at home on
his own land rather than emigrate
The emigration which. takes place
from some western states to Canada
would be regarded as very unpat-
riotic by Danish people. In the
Southern United States. what might
be called provincial love of ones
own home exists to a larger extent
than elsewhere in the! country and
therefore the south seems to be the
place where a modified form of the
Danish system would meet with the
most embarrassment.
The Danish national government
keeps jealous eye upon the quail
fly Of its farm products. Recent,
Denmark was much aroused on &C
count of a complaint as to the stand
ara OF butter sent to England. Tht
government ordered an immediate
examination and assisted by thu
pride of the farmers, the authori
ties had little diiculty in restorin'
the usual standard.
In no country are cattle di
seases better controlled than in Den
mark In any case OF foot an
mouth disease, the farm IN entirel
closed until It can be thorough
disinfected, and the farmer is com
pensated for any loss by the gov
ernment' In the present state q

FAIR DATES
Are Revised at Meeting Of
Lake Erie Race Circuit
Stewards.

Mayor Frank r.. Moore has re-
turned from Pittsburg, where, as a
representative of the West Virginia
Fair Association, of Clarksburg, he
attended special meeting of the
stewards of the Lake Erie racing
circuit, at which fair dates for the
coming season were. slightly revised.
A shifting of dates meant a dis.
advantage to the people of Titus
vile who had contemplated a fair
the third week in August. The rep
Preventative of that town then re.
signed from the circuit after a mem
bership of twelve years. Youngs-
town and Alliance applied for the
dates, August 20 to 30, but it is
thought Canton will be awarded
them, thus making three meetings
for that town. The new schedule

DENMARK DOCTOR

public opinion in the United States
such close relationship between the
government and the individual
would perhaps be impossible. In
Denmark this feeling is at the bot.
tom of the present agriculture pros
perity. The Danes make butter
during the winter. Through the
scientific application of rotation OF
crops, the cattle are as well fed in
the winter as summer. 1t may be
said that While eggs in Denmark
are we'll controlled and carefully
numbered, the system of feeding
fowls is not as perfect as it is in
some of the American states; but
the quality is standardized and cold
storage eggs are unknown. The
quality of the butter is the best in
the world"
Mr.. Egan added that the more he
studied the agricultural problems in
Denmark, the more he was con-
WINGED that nothing but concerted
effort, thoroughly drilled. among
agriculturists could produce the
remedy for the present shortage in
the food crop and induce. constant
prosperity. ~ IT,
The Efinanciers interested in the
plan to make a great port of st.
Thomas, in the West Indies, are
much elated, over the submission of
the scheme to Parliament, by the
minister of finance. The syndicate,
which will be given the rights to
the port for ninety-nine years, pans
the expenditure of many millions
in an effort to make st. Thomas a
universal port by the time of the
openig of the Panama canal.
The prime mover of the plan is
H. y. Anderson, general manager
of the East Asiatic company. The
rise of this magnate has been almost
American in character. HE began
to make his own way at the age OF
10 as ships boy, and at 20 he left
his ship in Bangkok and went into
business. He was so successful
that he became an intimate friend
and advisor of the late King Chul-
alongkorn, who gave him and Ad-
miral de Richelieu of Denmark,
vast concessions in the forests of
Siam and also granted concessions
for power stations and street car
lines. In 1897 Anderson returned
to Denmark and founded the DAN
ish East India Company, which is
now the most important navigation
and trading company of the. coun-
try. Anderson became a close
friend of Prince Waldemar and his
late wife. the Princess Marie. who
was noted for her business acumen.
Encouraged by such influential
backing, he established enormous
business concerns in all parts of
Europe and the Orient, from mining
companies to banks.

democratic administration and that all of Colorados
representatives in the house and will have something say
about the named for office. 1t customary consult them

THE NEWSPAPER GAME.

~ BY Cub
It's wonderful game, fresh excitement each day.
Not moment that's not full of strife
And that's the main reason that I'd like to stay
In the newspaper game all my life.
One day you're scoopcd and the next day YOU win,
The days work is judged by itself
Yesterdays scoop doesn't help YOU today;
It's work till you're laid on the shelf.
No praise for your good work and hell when you fail
Scott nickels to eat half the time
No time off for pleasure, chance to grow stale;
But, still, it's the business for mine.
They say that the life is a terrible thing
When man has grown gray in the game
But I'm only cub have years more TO live;
SO guess that I'll stick Just the same

In the storm. but she came through
on top and was worked into port I'M
der her jury sail. So great had been
the force of the storm that long strips
OF the copper sheeting which covered
her hull had been torn away Perhaps
this fact accounts for her later loss.
With new mast and another set of
sails the Pandora made her way to
New York and she reached Quaran-
tine more than two years after she
left Perth. She looked like some sort
Of detected mongrel when l went on
board her as she lay at the Atlantic
Yacht Club anchorage, but her cap
tains were proud and spent several
hours telling Of their little yawl's per-
formances under the most trying
conditions.

scent. but how far back 1t was he

Two weeks In New York was
enough for them. They had hoped to
take the Pandora out of water and
repair the torn copper hull sheathing.
but the weather was so fine and the
winds 80 even that they decided to
get under way for london. On July
20, 1911. they hoisted sail and started.
That is as far as the story goes.
Three months later Captain Blythe's
brother, j. Forbes Blythe. of Coven-
try, England, wrote a letter to the
custom house In New York asking
for information about the Pandora and
saying the little vessel had never re-
ported in any English or Continental
port. No information could be given
to him.
