DOES HIPPoPOTAMUS
BLOOD? NO!

A popular theory in regard to the
hippopotamus is that it sweats blood.
Circus men advertise the animal as
the Notwithstanding behemoth." The
fact is, the hippopotamus exudes
from its pores pink, oily substance
which keeps it's skin in condition. In
stead of sweating blood, it would be
more proper to say that the hippo
potamus carries it's own cosmetics.
A curious thing about the hippo
potamus is that he can close both mis-
ears and his nostrils as well as his
eyes. These organs are so located
on the head that they can be the only

AS WE SEE 1T.

Because a man weighted down
with his woes shoots himself once in
a while, would you stop the manu-
facture of guns? Because a man
hangs himself now and then would
you stop the selling of rope? Be.
cause man suicides occasionally by
plunging into the river would you dry
up the streams? Yet because some
fool drinks himself to death, your
temperance fanatics would stop the
manufacture and sale of liquor"
Strange as 1t may appear, there
are still citizens of this republic,
there are still good temperance peo'
pie" who argue for the regulation Of
the liquir traffic on just such grounds.
We reply: If stopping the manufac-
ture Of guns would increase the hap
piness of the home, IL 1t would reform
and transform our social and political
life as would stopping the manufac-
ture of liquor, we should certainly be
found among the fore nlestt aeReeates
Of that policy. II the prohibition OF
rope-selling would give this country
and the whole world such an uplift
as would the prohibition Of drink-sell-
Ing, we should certainly be anti-rope
advocates. If drying up the streams
would result in good to every man,
woman and child; II 1t would add to
human happiness, and decrease crime,
pauperism and insanity; If 1t could
be shown that 1t is in harmony with
the Divine plan and purpose in the
evolution and redemption of the race,
we should say unhesitatingly, dry up
the streams. So would every other
friend of humanity.

WASTING OUR VITAL ASSETS.

Society accepts as a matter of
course the fact that physicians urge
measures and promote schemes which
tend to prevent disease and there.
fore in large measure reduce their
own incomes. A medical practitioner
employed methods to spread disease
germs would not only lose all profes.
sional standing, but would be branded
by society as devoid of conscience and
human feeling. Yet with strange in
consistency we permit and license
in our midst an institution which
in order to increase It's revenues sows
the seeds Of disease, corruption and
death among the youth of the nation
every day Of the year.

If CHICAGO CLOSED SALOONS.

lF CHICASO CLOSED SALOONS.
The dire calamity that would befall
Chicago were its 1900 saloons to be
closed and the 10000 men engaged in
the liquor business in that city were
to be thrown out Of employment, Is
constantly being urged by the advo-
Gates of personal liberty. In an open
letter to the Chicago Tribune, John
A. Shields, organizing secretary Of
the Progressive national committee,
makes the following pertinent reply
to the argument:
IF these saloons were closed, en-
ployment would be furnished to those
engaged in the saloon business and as
many more, in the new channels of
trade opened up by the money that is
now invested in the saloon business
THE making of car of wheat into
bread will employ seven and one-half
times as much labor, and pay better
wages, than The making of an equal
amount of grain into beer, and the
finished product will. make happier
linen and women and better citizens.
The United States census bulletin Of
manufacturers for Connecticut, recent
ly issued, shows that $1,OO0,O0O in
vested in the liquor business employs
101 men; the same capital in the
hardware business employs 522, in the
silk business a67, in wooden goods
business 521 boots and shoes 494, and
so on down the list, proving conclu-
sively that if this money now tied up
In the liquor business were put into
any one of the $50 leading industries
1t would employ from three to eight
times as much labor.

CROP news SERVICE
Geographic Reports to Be Ex-
tended to All States.
Department. Of Agriculture, Through
Cooperation With Bureau Of Sta
tistics and Weather Bureau, Fur
nlsh News Quickly to Papers.

Washington.-As result Of re-
quests from editors and editorial as
sociations in many states, the United
States department Of agriculture has
announced that the November crop re.
ports for each state will be supplied
to the newspapers in all states through
the central weather station, located in
each of the states.
This is an extension of the expert
ment of telegraphing the state crop
returns to the central weather sta
lions In each of nine states, and hav-
ing these kilograms duplicated at
once and mailed to the newspapers
and agricultural publications. Under
this plan newspapers in 80 additional
states will now receive full details Of
the state crops far more quickly than
would be possible if these state crop
details wore put in the mails in Wash
ington and had to travel by train long
distances to the more remote states.
Under this plan, the general sum
hoiy VI thS SlOpo III IhO OhisSu
States will, as heretofore, be issued
In Washington for telegraphhic dis
tribution. 1t has been found, however
that the conditions of crops within
their particular states are of especial
value to the farmers and producers, to
whom the conditions in their own
state are important in the marketing
Of their produce.
Under this plan the department
sends one telegram to the central
weather bureau in each state, and
within a few minutes after the croI
figures for the state are completed In
Washington the weather bureau is en-
abled to mail copies Of, the figures
from central point within the state
to all papers in that state.
Under the code system used, the de
partment is under the necessity o.
telegraphing only few figures, al
the figures of previous crops for com
parison are supplied to each weather
bureau stationSby mail. The cost o
the telegram for each state does no
exceed Is cents.
The Crop data thus circulated b!
mail to the newspapers will give: a.
full list Of the crops; (b) the aver
age condition OF each crop for ten yea
periods in that particular state; &c
the condition of the state crop for No
vember 8. In the adjoining column
will be given the same data for thu
United States, 80 that the farmers VIII,
read these notices can compare tn
crops in their state as of Novembe
8, with the ten year averages Of thei
own state, and in the same way witt
the average condition throughout tn
United States on November 9, and TO
ten years.
These state crop reports are no
supplied to individuals; and are mai
! sd-oSl, --to-edfturs-uf fegrfaf pubnc5
tions. The November state crop re
ports for the 80 states newly adde
to the list will be sent only to tn
daily papers, the county-seat papers
and agricultural publications. Near
while, the department is preparin
lists of small town weeklles, and 4
December the crop reports will
sent also to the smaller papers.
