WHEN BUYING WRITING PAPER
Certain Times Of the Year When
Suitable coIors and Tones May Be
Acquired In Quantities.

The woman who would get the most
for her money buys her writing paper
in quantity at-an annual sale.
The reason for these sales is that
the manufacturers accumulate small
lots Of discontinued papers. They are
not cheap qualities or seconds. merely
styles that are not novel.
It is possible to get four quires of
paper and 100 envelopes for dollar.

Is not wise to choose novelties, An
inconspicuous color and good quality
is always good. Many women adopt
a certain tone and kind Of paper and
make it individual. Thus, the girl who
loves violet will have pale violet paper
with a deeper tone or silver for the
stamping. while the transparent en-
velopes are lined with violet tissue
paper Of deeper shade than the en-.
velope.
Gray paper or&ery pale blue is also
permissible, but it is bad form to use
garish stationery.

FULLER's EARTH IN AMERICA
sndustry Has Reached Greatest Pro.
duction and Consumption in
It's History.

Fuller's earth, the claylike material
that is used principally as a fltering
medium for oils, fats, and grease, is
found In 10 states, as shown by a re-
port of the United States geological
survey. In 1911 fulIer's earth was pro
siuced in but seven states, Arkansas,
California, Florida, Georgia, Massa-
chusetts, South Carolina, and Texas,
and there we're no unusual develop
ments in The industry. New deposits
are reported from time to time, but
sn many the high standard of eff
cheney required is not found and only
q few Of the deposits are worked. OF
the large number Of known deposits
sbut 10 we're worked IN 1911. Some of
the causes for the small number Of
workings, In addition to the high stan
dard Of quality required, are inaccessi-
bility Of the deposits and lack Of capt.
tai.
Notwithstanding the comparatively
small number Of producers, the output
has almost steadily increased from
the small beginning in 1895, when but
$500 short tons were reported, valued
at Sal, 400, or SO a ton, to 1911, when
40,697 tons were reported, valued at
S383,124, or $9.41 a ton.
Florida continues to be the leading
state. In 1911 1t reported 7,658 tons,
valued at $265,571, or $3.50 a ton. This
was 68 per cent. Of the quantity and
SO per cent Of the value of the entire
ouput and value. The other states in
the order of their rank in output and
value IN 1911 were Georgia, Arkansas,
Texas, Massachusetts, California and

DAWSON WINS BIG
AUTOMOBILE RACE
Makes 500 Miles in 6:21:6,
Breaking Record.
TETZLkFF IN SECOND PLACE
De Palma Loses Event When Almost
Certain of Victory Through Break
down of Car-No Serious
Accidents.

Indianapolis, June 1-Establishing
q new worlds record for 500-mile
race Joe Dawson, driving a National
car, won the worlds greatest motor
event on Thursday IN a contest re-
markable in that there were no seri-
Gus accidents, that, despite the expec-
tations of the $4,000 spectators and
wagers made to the contrary, no one
was injured.
Dawson'g time for the 500 miles was
6 hours q minutes and 6 seconds,
an average time Of 1878 miles an
hour, a new mark for the distance on
any kind Of road or track. The aver
age time made last year was 74.6.
Luck had something to do with the
victory, for Ralph De Palma in a
Mercedes was ten miles ahead of
Dawson in the 496th mile. De Palma
had led the parade from the tenth
mile and seemed sure Of victory.
But automobile racing is uncertain
and with the race almost in his grasp
the Mercedes car developed trouble
and limped at a snail pace around the
track.
Meanwhile Dawson saw his chance
for glory and opulence and drove fast
but carefully. The victory meant a
fortune for the boy, as his winning
brought him more than $4,000 in
Guiding the extras. Second place
with its $4,000 prize and some extras
fell to Tetzlaff in a Fiat
Third place was won by Hughes in
a Mercer. Much glory and $1,000 goes
with this position. Hughes car was
one of the Iightest in the race. Fourth
place was taken by a Stutz car driv-
en- by Merz. Bill Endicott won fifth
place with a Schacht, and sixth posi-
ton was taken by the Fengle's StutZ.
The White car, driven by jenkins,
took seventh place. A Lozier, driven
by Koran, took eighth place, just in
front of National driven by Wilcox,
which was ninth, with the Knox, driv-
en- by Milford, in tenth position.
Excitement in the crowded stands
was intense until the official an
nouncement was made that neither
Burman nor his mechanician had
been injured The accident to Bur
man was the only serious incident Of
the race, although hearts and bank
accounts were strained by accidents
to many cars in the race.

oUooeoTo UncAM GRADING
University Professor Declares Wis
consin Farmers Might Easily
Add Million 10 Income.

Madison.-0ver one million dol
lars year could be added to the
income Of Wisconsin dairymen if the
quality Of the butter made in this
state were improved enough so as to
bring one cent more per pound than
it now does, says Prof. G. H. Ben
kendorf of the dairy school of the
University of Wisconsin College of
Agriculture.
Better butter will be possible if
better cream can be secured, Prof
Benkendorf contends, and he sug-
gests that the best way to secure
better cream is to have method
of cream grading.
By grading cream according to its
acid content and butter fat content,
and paying less for cream of high
acid content and low butter fat con-
tent than for cream having a large
amount Of butter fat and little acid,
the farmers would be encouraged to
produce better cream, Prof. Benken-
dorf believes.

Decisions Affecting Wisconsin Com

Commission and State Board.

Madison.-Lower express rates are
predicted from two forthcoming de-

merce commission and the other by
the Wisconsin railroad commission.
1t is believed both will be announced
soon.
The complaint of the Merchants
and Manufacturers association of
Milwaukee has been pending before
the state body for two years. 1t is
directed against all express compan-
les operating in Wisconsin. The de-
cision of the interstate commerce
commission will, it is believed, make
the interstate rates into Wisconsin
uniform and the state commission
will adjust and make reasonable in

and forced several laborers to join
their ranks.
A sharp encounter was reported
from Mayala, near Palma Soriano,
between rebels and government forces.
The latter used gatling guns, dispers-
ing the rebels with heavy losses.
According to a report from Guam
tanamo, Estenoz, the rebel chieftain,
caused the execution of eleven negroes
who assaulted white women.
M. H. Lewis of New York, president

Jurymen in Mcnamara
Trial.

Los Angeles, May 30.-Bert H.
Franklin, former chief detective for
the Mcnamara defense, and now star
witness for the prosecution in the trial
of Clarence S. Darrow for alleged jury
bribery, took the witness stand on
Tuesday and gave his account OF the
alleged manner in which Darrow, then
chief counsel for the Mcnamara broth
ers, and he himself attempted to bride
jurors in the trial of James Mcnamara.
Franklin explained, in answer to
questions, that he had talked TO Oar
row about Balm on several occasions,
and that Darrow knew he had been
acquainted with Balm for many years.
Tell us what was said between
you and Clarence Darrow on the sixth
day of October in reference to this
matter" the prosecutor requested.
Il came to the Office answered
Franklin, before II o'clock. Mr.. Oar
row said: we have been talking the
matter over and have decided that
$4,000 would be a proper amount to
pay the jury, for jurymen'-$4,0 900 to
go to the Juror and 81 900 to myself.
'T asked him if he wished me to
see Mr.. Balm along that line, and he
said: Yes He asked me if l
thought I could get him. told him
thought I could; that Mr. Balm was
the kind of a man, If he did not want
to go in that way he would come out
and tell me SO, and that would be all
there would be to it. He said: All
right, I will give you check for
$1,000 He turned to his desk. wrote
the check, handed it to me and I left
the Office"
Franklin claimed that he deposited
this $1,000 to his credit at the First
National bank and drew out the $500
which was paid to Mrs Balm as the
first payment for her husbands vote
for acquittal. Franklin identified the
deposit slip Of the bank
