ers and made them ripe for revolt
1t should be understood that there is
no such thing as a land tax in Cuba.
Huge estates, sometimes running to
hundreds of thousands of acres, pay
not one cent of taxes to the Cuban
government. The idle owners block
enterprise and development. The
legal expense of transferring small

Under such a condition of indus.

the Cuban masses to be commended"

INNOVATION
FOR dinners
Robert M. McWado.

Bismarck Tribune WASHINGTON Bureau.
WASHINGTON. May 31.-Dames of
fashion at the National Capital are
responsible to a large extent for the
very newest" innovation at dinners
of "sassiety folk"-the shifting of part
ners. In other words, the man and
woman who go in to dinner together
together do not remain side by side
throughout the dinner, but THE nell
are shifted after each course. This
shuffling of partners has, they do say,
proved unusually interesting, and has
given new and added zest to dinners
at the fag and of the social season.
The ladies say that the scheme is
to promote talk, greater gayety, and
more diversity in the evening. May
be, there's another motive in shifting
the man who is somewhat of a bore
from one person to another. and not
making the dinner unendurably long
for Nhe woman who may have the ILL
chance ito draw him. This idea first
found favor in gay paree, then was
to Lumnon, and now has
made its bow i'm Washington, and also
in Gotham town.

farm SCHOOL
FOR FARMER
Robert M. McWade,

Bismarck Tribune WASHINGTON Bureau.
WASHINGTON, May 31.-"We will
carry the agriculture school to the
farmer" says Secretary Wilson of the
department of agriculture. "Ordinari-
ly only one man in large number
can go to school to study farming.
We must and will take the school to
him.
That, in fine, is the bottom idea of
tine plans now being arranged for farm
manageme mt, soil Fertilization, soil Gull
ture, seeding, and kindred studies in
northern state for which congress has
recently made ample provisions in the
agricultural appropriation bill. It the
southern farmers do not fare as we'll
this year as heretofore. it will largely
be the fault of their national legisla-
tors who have not been as spry in
earring for the interests of the men
who till the soil as their northern
colleagues. The plans for the North
correspond almost entirely with those
which have been dn use in the cooper
ative demonstration work in the south.
Prof, Galloway. of the bureau Of
plant industry, says that the federal
government, through its agents, who
are to act in cooperation with the
state and local inspectors intends to
make comprehensive study of the
farms of the country, with a view
especially of carrying to the farmer
information which will show
him why a certain branch of his in
dustry Is improbable. and how he can
make it pay-or, # not, why she SHOULD
drop that branch. Like a hot potato.

IN Behalf Of
CUBAN NEGROES

WASHINGTON, May 31.-A word

half Of the Cuban negroes by Herbert
Browne, of Washington and Cuba,
whose business for the past twelve
years has caused him to spend one

of negro laborers would not follow a
handful of disappointed politicians"

tyranny has disappeared, the Spanish
economic tyranny is there in worse

certainty as to the winners. In the
beginning Fargo took first in three
events, then the Jamestown and Nor
NAL men tied with them for first, later
jamestown took the lead to be later
passed by the Normal and only at the
finish did jamestown secure enough
to give her the high score The last
event the relay race, might have
changed the outcome had it been won
by either the Normal or Fargo, but
Casselton easily took first place and
left the score as lit stood previously
The next great event is the Musical
Festival of June1, and 3 when the
Minneapolis Symphony orchestra will
be the leading attraction, Other num-
bers in addition to concerts by this
organization will be the rendition of
the 'Mikado" and 1.-The Messiah"
These are two of the greatest enter
tainments of their kind and never fail
to bring crowded houses The State
Normal has won an enNiable reputa-
ton regarding the high class of must
cal entertainments they furnish and
each year sees more enthusiastic at
tendance than in the past.

Regarding
Canned FOODS
Robert M. McWade,

Robert M. McWade.
Bismarck Tribune Washington Bureau.
WASHINGTON, May Silt is Of
more than general interest to learn
the latest decision of the U. S. Board
OF Pure Food and Drug Inspection re-
garding canned foods. It states that
the can in canned food products serves
not only as container but also as an
index of the quality of the food there
in. And it adds: 1t should be as full
of food as is practicable for packing
and processing without injuring the
quality or appearance Of the con.
tents. Some food products may be
canned without the addition of any
substances whatsoever-for example,
tomatoes.
The addition of water in such in.
is deemed adulteration. Other foods
may require the addition of water,
brine, sugar or syrup, either to CON-
bine with the food for it's proper pre-
paration, or for the purpose Of sterili-
zation-for instance, peas. In this
case the can should be packed as full
as practicable with the peas, and
should contain only sufficient liquor
to fill the interstices and cover the
product.
Canned foods, therefore,, will be
deemed to be adulterated if they are
found to contain water, brine, syrup
sauce or similar substances in ex-
css of the amount necessary for their
proper preparation and sterilization.
1t has come to the note of the de-
partment that pulp prepared from trim
mings, cores, and other waste mater
ial, is sometimes added to canned to-
matoes. 1t is the opinion of the
board that pulp is not a normal in
gredient of canned tomatoes, and such
a condition is therefore adulteration.
1t is also the opinion Of the board that
the addition Of tomato juice in excess
of the amount present in the toma-
toes used is adulteration-that is, II
in the canning of lot of tomatoes
more juice be added than is present
in that lot, the same will be consid-
cred an adulteration.
