ROTHScHILDS OF THE EAST
Mltsui Family Of Japan Is Famous tor
UnsuIlied Honor Of Their

The Mitsui family of Japan have
been called the Rothschilds of the
East; but while the fame of the lat
ter has gone abroad over the world,
says the Atlantic Monthly, the Nit
suis have remained practically un-i
known except to few western mer-
chants who have had extensive deal
hgs with the Orient.
The European family owes it's great
renown to the fact that for century
there has been no slightest stain up
on It's commercial honor But it's ca

been passed in a world where bust
while the Mitsuis, engaged In pur-,
suit utterly condemned by public SEN
timent, for three centuries, in spite of
the demoralizing influence Of the So,
c1al ban, have been trus ed by govern
ment and people alike and have kept.
the honor Of their name unstained.
Now, thanks to the new spirit AMI
mating the nation, they no longer
stand so conspicuously alone.
Other great commercial families are
being ranged with this one, their men,
bers not only enrolled among the
peers of the realm, but ranking with
the merchant princes of the west as
opponents of all that is honorable in
the conduct Of mercantile affairs. To-
their number are yearly being added,

Apparatus for Finding Water.

The hazel twig as water finder has
been supplanted by remarkable in.
vention, consisting of simple ap-
paratus. The principle on which the
instrument works is the measuring Of
the strength of electric currents
between the earth and the atmos-
phere. These are always strongest in
the vicinity of subterranean water
courses, the flowing waters of which
are charged with electricity to Ger,

the form Of box-shaped instrument

CANADIAN FARMERS IN SehIOOS PISoI
The Independent notes from the Leader puo-
hshed at Regina, sask, that thousands of Canadi-
an farmers up against it. With their bins bug-
ing with grain, they unable to ship it, and the
big interests have begun to squeeze Most of the
farmers involved new settlers. mainly from the
United States Read what the Leader says about
the predicament, and then judge for yourselves
whether not You desire to become Canuck;
Have the farmers of the west more money this
season than they had, Sir VIM. Mckenzie
OF the Canadian Northern Railway AYERS?
Six thousand judgment summonses were issued at
Saskatoon in the months OF january against far
mers and merchants depending On the farmer for
their money.
The Leader representative called at the office OF
Sheriff Calder hour refore the regular opening
time, but he hard work and his
clerks. 1t is busy time with them. Deputy Sher-
if Orge gave The Leader little of his time and
from him it learned that six thousand judg-
nent summonses had been issued by the court las.
month.
He estimated that over two-thirds or four thou
sand were against farmers who have lots of wheat
to sell but cannot get rid of It for want of cars
The remaining two thousand mostly against
merchants and other business men directly depend
ent upon the sale of the farmers wheat for money
to meet their obligations.
The great majority of these judgments have been
issued at the mstigaton of the Big Manufacturers,
who are directly responsible for denying the far.
ner access to a greater market and thus causing
congestion at the only existing outlet at the head
OF the lakes
Tho or11tyc sheriff -
farmers now in the clutches of the law, had made
attempt to meet their payments to the mpIe-
ment companies, and whether they had not sold
some of their wheat early in the and receiv-
ed returns for it.
Yes, was the reply, the great majority of these
farmers did manage to get a car or two shipped
last fall and got deposit the shipping bill, but
It took most of that money to pay the hired help
and the thresher and those who had money left
made small payment to the manufacturer
The farmers now in trouble are, for the most
part, new settlers. They have only been in the
country two or three years. They had little
money when they came but that has gone for hors-
es, and machinery. Eager to get their land broken
up they bought heavily their credit was good and
the statesmen would sell them anything they want,
ed The cops turned out fine II they had got
threshed aid had they would have met their
payments and had plenty of money for this years
improvements. But, unfortunately, the only market
the farmer had rs blocked; a greater market
denied him by the very men who are today driving
him to the wall. He missed his payment last fall
he is up against 10 per cent interest past
due paper and all the tremenGuous costs of the
court.
And most of them have from three to ten thoe-
sand bushels Of wheat 'stored" in ope, bins
their farms waiting for cars

Farmer. who depending upon the county to
lllsp them with seed grain and feed this year
will have to get busy once or they will find that
the commissioners wiz not be able to comply with
their requests, should they desire to do 20.
According to the seed and feed law, IT makes
it necessary for the farmer to apply to the county
in writing not later than March l. We presume
that the county auditor has the necessary blanks
that must be filled out If the farmers do not apply
for seed and feed by March l, it is discretionary
with the county board whether they decide to have
the county furnish it or not, and knowing the attt
tude of the board this subject we would Ger
tatnly advise everyone to get their applications
ready by that time. Further it becomes necessary
for 100 farmers sign petition to present to the
board, asking that the county furnish seed and
feed to those in need of it, and this petition may
be flied as late as April Is. 1t can be fled sooner
if desired The independent understands that
good many of the farmers of this county wi" ind
it necessary call upon the county for 80 ne as
