COST OF RAW MATERIALS.
We Pay Relatively Less for Them Due
 to Transportation Facilities.

(Press Bureau of New Haven Road.) A study of the last Census figures regarding manufactures gives some interesting results So far as New Eng land is concerned and shows why this region should be particularly attrac- tive to capital and wage earners alike.
 New England produced in 1909, s. 670, ,O65,o00 in manufactured goods. which was 1929 per cent.- of the total the United States. Notwithstanding that New England has practically no raw. materials and no power fuel, the value added by her manufacturers to New England products in that year was $1, ,193, 76S GOO. For the capital in vested this was 8 greater percentage of increase than for the entire coun- try. The percentage of value. added per capital invested was for the Unit ed States 53.8 per cent. in 1899: and 46.3 per cent. in 1909. For New England it was 5O.1 in 1899 and ATT in 1909.
 What is the lesson of this? It shows conclusiveIy that New England com pared with the country as whole is not losing but gaining ground and that the comparison of gain was more marked in 1909 than in previous years.
 When it comes to wages the figures show a greater relative increase for New England than for the United States as a. whole. This is undoUbted- 1Y due 10 the large nuEiD6T O1 SH1lISo mecha n4cs, a. decided factor in increas- ing New Eng1and's wealth, because 1t means greater value for its nanufac- tured goods. No other section pro- duced as large an amount of what IS termed Tight manufacture or high class goods, comprising jewelry, sill verware, watches, clocks, typeWr1ters, fine cutlery, firearms, ammunition hats, gloves, boots and shoes and rub ber specialties-
 Wages in the United States were s3, 427 o38, GOO in 1909 against $2 o0S, S61, 900 in 1899. In New England they were $557 ,631, 900 in 1909 as compared with $367, ,674, 900, in 1899.
 The benefit New England derives from the economical transportation furnished by it's rail, and water lines and their various connections is re vealed in the figures regarding cost Of material. The cost of material In the United States increased s6,575, S51, 900 In ] 1899 to $12 141, ,7S1 GOO in 1909, an in crease of 42.8 per cent. In New Eng | land the cost of materials rose from s904 OS7, 900 in y1s99 to s1,476, ,297, 600 in | 1909 an increase of but 52~2 per cent, | This shows that relatively the New England manufacturers are paying | less for raw materials than the aver age amount paid by the nfanufactur- I CTS of the United States.

THE BAGcAGEMAN REJoICErH

(Prsss Bureau of New Haven Road ) - The ebzggageman has at last come into his own And he is properly re- 5oicing over his good fortune. For the Interstate Commerce Commission, that 1ar-on body whose sole duty 1t seemed to many was the fixing of freight rates, has deigned to consider the woes of the baggageman and has issued an
 order that 1t is believed will put a stop to the rapidly increasing size of trunks
 Since the man who first invented the wardrobe trunk put his idea on the market the patience of the baggage man, has been fast wearing out Many of these trunks are over six feet long, s,er-nsttinR the fastidious to transport their entire wardrobes without the un- v,1essa rltness of having their clothes sofled or ru1npled at the end of a tourney. While this was a great con venEence to the traveller, it soon be- ra-7e an equally great hardship on flle baggageman. often resulting In 1ccideut or waste of time in handling

The Supreme Court of Missouri holds that though promise. by a white man to convey land to a negress is not sup ported by a considera ton by the fact that she bore him children, this fact alone does not discredit the contract or avoid it, and that the evidence shows a contract to convey real es- tate in consideration of personal ser vices, 5usttfying specific performance. The decree Is affirmed.

Jungle Trapping One of the Most Dam
 gerous of Occupations.

Of all the occupations that call for fearlessness and nerve. that of the jun gle trapper takes first place. He must brave all sorts of danger in the way of poisonous insects, germ breeding swamps and everglades, hostile saw ages and levers. He is constantly in danger Of attacks by stealthy wild animals. He is never safe, day or night, during his Journeys into the forests or onto the plains.
 It is little wonder that the fine spec imens of animal life displayed in our zoos cost fabulous sins of money when one considers the cost of an ex- petition into the jung1es, hundreds of miles overland from the remote edges of civilization. Sometimes a body of hunters will spend months in o1twtt- ting and capturing one rare speci- men. It is not always difficult to shoot down an animal from a point of safety, but to trail him and cap ture him alive in the dead hours of the night, or run him to bay in the light of day, Is a task that requires a nerve and a cunning that few men possess.
 To capture an elephant a large pit light brush. Over this IS spread 9 carpet of grass The elephant steps into this carpet and the trappers are richer by a few thousand dollars. A giraffe is Iassoed. He is not hard to catch, but after he is secured it Is a, problem to get him to port and ship him wi t11out injury to the beast Preparations for catching lion, 3 tiger or any of the cat tribes are very elaborate. A large V-shaped fence of barbed rods, sometimes taking in acres, is built. At the point there Is an opening against which is placed large box trap, the door concealed with some foliage. The animal is driven into this enclosure, and in time is forced to the point where, all un-

 A MONKEY IS AIN ANIMAL F.E- RAE NATURAG P1aintfn monkey ed' with a monkey, and hence this case-CopIey V: Willis, 152 Southwest 13 years old. On the day in question he visited a combination motion-rstc- ture theatre and museum conducted by defendant, where a monkey was i running at large without restraint Plaintiff having seen others feed this monkey, encountered it himself and began feeding it peanuts. While so doing, the monkey dropped one pea nut, which plaintiff stopped to pick up, when the animal ran at him and bit him upon the calf of the leg. For this injury he sues. The Court of Civil Appeals of Texas holds that a monkey is an animal ferae naturae, or of a wild nature disposition, and within the rule requiring the, keeper | of such animals to so keep them. as to absolutely prevent their injuring another, and making him liable for such injury unless the other was vol untarily responsible. for the attack. The court concludes that the boy was not responsible for the attack. and, since the ordinary rule of contributory negligence is not applicable here. the Judgment for plaintiff is affirmed. LOVE AND. ITS KINDS. The fol- lowing may be of interest, from the recent case of Burns V State, 12s Pa cific Reporter, 657, by the Criminal Court of Appeals of Oklahoma:
 Pure love is the cause of all self sacrifice and the handspring of all that is noble among the achievements of men. It is like fire taken from off the altar of Heaven. It purif1es, en- nobles, and lifts men up, and makes them nearer to and more like their God. It is indeed the emotion that sums all bliss; the springhead of all felicity; the silken down of happiness complete; the sparkling cream of all times bIessedness; the center to which all human beings gravitate; the em- blem of God. It has been well said:
 |" Who happy and not eloquent of
 love?
 Who pure and. as it is true. Not a temple where it's glory ever
 dweIls,
 Where burn it's fires and beams it's
 perfect eyer
 Illicit love is exactly the reverse of all this. The imagination cannot con ceive, and language cannot describe, the blackness and despair, the deg radiation, shame, misery, suffering, and woe which it brings to the innocent as well as to the guilty. It is like fire taken from the very furnace or nell It burns up, consumes, and destroys all that is pure and noble in the hearts of men and women. It sinks them beneath the level, of brutes It in wolves them in unutterable infamy In this world, and prepares them only for perdition in the life beyond the grave"

wtertown, s. D., March 24.--John
b. Hanten, a prominent attorney OF
this place, whose legal opinion Attor-
ney General Johnson quotes In sup
port of his recent adverse rulings
against the present operation OF the
postmaster primary provision under the
new primary law, today made the fol-
lowing statement: -. H
Under the federal constitution the
power is placed with the president to
make the federal appointments In this
state. He can recognize the WILL OF
the people as to endorsements for such
appointments, as provided for in ar
ticles z and s Of the Richards primary
law: or he car ignore the people and
thus in effect place the ~appointive pow
er in the hands Of the spoilsmen for
personal barter.
''There are no requirements under the
Richards primary law as to appoint
ments that would not be perfectly just
and proper and good rules to follow
were they not the law, but having been
enacted into law In this state there
is an additional cas- why they should
be obeyed al this time, voluntarily by
all party organizations.
''The president has the power to give
life or death to the spirit Of this
party law as far as federal appoint
ments are concerned. I look for Pres
ident Wilson to recognize the provis-
ions of this law and to. require COM
pliance Herewith through the depart

handled has always been the dominat-
