Jolo Grows Horse Feed.

Washington, D. C.-Army quarter
masters in the Philippines have found
that it is possible to grow forage fol-
their cavalry and transportation ami
mails in the islands instead of bring
ing timothy hay and oats across the
Pacific at great expense. The prob
lem has apparently been solved by the
cultivation of guinea grass at Jolo and
it is estimated that by the use Of the
native grass the cost Of forage can be
reduced to one-fourth Of it's present
cost. It has also been found practical
BILE to use green rice as horse feed.

/ j. ). Hill says Survival Of the Fittes'
Will Always Rule.

VIII Always Rule.
Washington, D. C.James ]. Hill
told the Stanley investigating commit
tee that he would be "first-class
angel with red and white wings" be-
fore he would 60 into the steel busi-
ness, and predicted that competition
would be the rule long after the pres
emit laws were wiped of the statute
books.
Mr.. Hills last day Of testimony was
replete with the sage expressions for
which he is noted.
He said that the stockholders Of the
Great Northern railroad were mot
wearing any crepe" because the Unit
ed States Steel corporation in its
fright had cancelled the Great North
ern ore lease.
"You will be in comfortable posi-
ton, no matter whether the lease is
cancelled or not, won't you?" Chair
man Stanley suggested. 'You could
start a steel company of your own
with 400, 600, 900 tons of ore in the
ground.
81 will be first-class angel with
red and white feathers in my wings
long before ever consider going into
the steel business" Mr.. Hill replied.
'I'll be "a years old my next birth
day and don't mind telling you that
I've done about all the hard work in
tend to do in this life"
Just before the railroad builder was
excused, Representative Beall, of
Texas. called his attention to the
assertion of E. H. Gary, chairman of
the board of the Steel corporation,
and other business men, to the effect
that the day Of competition was
passed, and that the time was at hand
when the government must regulate
maximum and minimum prices of COM
modities.
81 think you will have to tame hui
man nature and eliminate all selfish
motives that rule human beings and
every other form Of life, before you
will eliminate competition, Mr.. Hill
remarked. "There will be competi-
tion just as long as the doctrine of the
survival of the fittest lasts, and that
will be operating long after all our
present statutes have been wiped of
the books.
do you think, then, it would be
unwise for the Federal government to
assume control of business?" Mr..
Beall asked.
81 think when the Federal govern
ment does that, it will be short step
until there will be no Federal govern
ment.
"You think that such government
would not be much like republic?"
''It would be monarchy"

without doing any looting. Other
towns in the same state are reported
to be menaced by the same band.

EN DS CATAR RH
Sprays, Douches, Snuffs and Ointments Won't Kill the Persistent Catarrh Germs
Hyomei, the Antiseptic Air, Will

When you can go to any drug store in any civilized community on earth and buy for only $1OO a rem edy that will quickly rid you of hawking, spitting and snuffling, why do you allow the devlish germs of catarrh to undermine your health and destroy your efficiency?
 Quit sprays and touches. Liquid cannot penetrate into the hooks, folds and crevices of the irregular mucous membrane. Neither can it get into the bronchial tubes that lead to the lungs and where germs thrive and multiply.
 If you believe that liquids reach the air tubes, try to swallow a little water the wrong way" Such test will effectualy demonstrate to you the idle theory that sprays and touches can cure catarrh.
 HYOMEI is a pleasant antiseptic air which. when breathed, penetrates into the folds and crevices of the sore, germ-infested membrane and also goes deep into the air cells of the lungs, killing all germs.
 A Hyomei outfit costs $1.00. EN- tra bottles of HYOMEI, if needed 50 cents
 Lovctt Drug Co. guarantees it.

RAISIN DAY IN CALIFORNIA.

FRESNO. Cal, April 30.-Califor- mia is celebrating its annual ''raisin day" today. and the dried fruit that made Fresno famous will have the place of honor on the menu in every home, hotel and restaurant in the state. The observance of "raisin day" has to some extent spread all over the country, as result of the activities of former native sons of the golden west and the publicity given the movement by the Fresno raisin day committee. A million "raisin day" stickers. and hundreds of thousands of bills, posters and postal cards have been distributed all over the United States
 Raisin day was inauguratcd three years ago and there is now hardly a state in the union where special raisin dinners are not eaten. Fresno is the center of the raiSin industry Of the world and a large proportion of the population of the city is de- pendent on the industry for living.
 CHICAGO April 3O.-In recognition of "raisin day. former residents and natives of the golden state held the first annual dinner of the California Society of Illinois here tonight, and raisins were prominent on the bill of fare The Illinois society of Cal ifornians succeeds the old California club of Chicago.
