dustry.
Says the New Orleans Times-Dem-
hocrat of the 9th instant:
The "chainless letter" system of
appealing to members Of congress
has been invoked by the sugar inter-
ests in their effort to save the tariff
on sugar. Louisiana producing inter-
ests are appealing to their friends
and business associates here and
elsewhere to write to their business
connections asking them to appeal to
their representatives in congress in
behalf of the sugar industry. The
system, when set at work, is far
reaching in its effects. The sugar
planter en1ists his machinery dealer
The dealer interests the many firms
he deals with. They write their con-
gressmen and senators, and in turn
interest firms they deal with, who,
in turn, write their congressman and
senators. It is possible to reach a
large majority of the members of
congress with personal letters from
constituents, and often Influential
constituents, through the use of the
system. Where such an important in
dustry as sugar is involved the in
fluence exerted is corresponding1y
stronger.
G. s.. Mathews of Georgia planta-
tion has prepared form of letter
which he is sending to his CORE
spondents with considerable success.
This letter is written direct to the
correspondent, and with it a copy of
letter to be written to the mem
Der o. congress is inclosed. The let
ter follows:
The sugar industry Of the United
States is threatened with destruction
through pending tariff legislation dur
ing the present congress.
The sugar business distributes
millions of dollars In interstate trade,
in which you participate. Won't you
kindly write to your correspondents
in the north, east and west and urge
them to write. To- |ttheir con g1essnen

lnclose to you a form bf letter
to copy and send them. =
The form letter suggested is as
follows:
81 beg leave to bespeak your con
sideration for the sugar industry of
the United States, which is now
threatened with destruction through
hostile legislation, and to lay before
you the following facts:
First. That every civilized coun-
try in the world is trying through
tariffs, bountiese and otherwise to
raise enough sugar for it's own
consumption.
Second. That sugar is cheaper to
the consumer in the United States
than any European country, with the
exception of England.
Third That were the United
States to be at war with any power
full maritime nation, such as England,
Germany, France or Italy, her supply
OF sugar from the outside world be
cut off.
Fourth That the sugar industry
in the United States supports hun
dreds of thousands Of people, who, if
the sugar Industry were destroyed,
would have to seek other means of
employment, and distributes millions
of dollars in this country, which
would go to foreign countries did
the United States not make any SUI
gar at all. ~

Were Carried Away by Theories.

S F5
No doubt the demand for free SUI
gar is popular among a vast major
ity of the American people. Like
the national Democratic leaders, the
people confuse the term free su
gar" with cheap sugar. They are
not synonymous terms; indeed, it
seems difficult to avoid the conell-
sion that free sugar means higher
priced sugar, for the reason that the
cane sugar industry of Louisiana and
the beet sugar industry in the west
have contained the latent germs of
competition with the trust, which,
because Of that possible competition,
was afraid to raise the price of re-
fined sugar too high. With this pos
sible competition strangled, the trust,
with its worldwide allies, will be. in
absolute control of the sugar indus

Ask Your Congressman for Some of
These Free Gifts.

/ The following is taken from a re-
cent issue of Farm and Fireside:
Many country people never enjoy
al the good things they might have
for several. reasons. They either do
not know the member OF congress
from their district can do many
things for them, or else they are too
Indifferent to try for these sree
gifts. Sometimes they feel sure
when one gets something for moth
ingF it doesn't amount to much, but
in this instance one doesn't get
something for nothing. Every tax
payer in the country helps provide
the money for the gifts the govern
ment laTishly bestoWs through its
public servants.
Everyone knows that seeds are
given away free every year, because
there is much contention about this
subject, but it is not generally known
that there are also valuable plants
and shrubs given for the asking. If
any group of young people want to
beautify the hool-grounds, the
chureh-yard or the pretty grove
where public meetings are held, or
even their own homes, they should
investigate and see what can be done
for them by their member of con-
gress. Tulip bulbs, plants, shrubs
and things from the botanical gar
dens are all within the reach of the
congressman.
"Then there are public documents
rlIofsno IN rio fr
insect enemies, animals and their
diseases, and other free literature
that is valuable and interesting. The
Yearbook of Agriculture is one of
the most interesting volumes ever
printed, and it is unfortunate that
copies are never even opened in
many country homes.
Il there is d little lake or pond in
the. neighborhood where the young
folk like to fish, it may be stocked
with fish free of charge, and man
will be sent with the shipment, SO
there is absolutely nothing to do but

hateheries fish are produced by

Each member OF congress has the
privilege of naming one cadet for
West Point and two midshipmen for
Annapolis. By writing to your con-
gresham you can find out If there

James NJ. Ryan, alias professor
Crane" alleged head of the "fortune
telIers' trust" was lodged in cell in
the county Jail few days ago and his
incarceration marked the beginning of
the end of a fl yht begun by Mrs
Hope L. McEldowney of West Salem,
| Wis, ho alledged she was swindled
out of 900 by Ryan or "Crane" on
March 3, in Chicago. She followed
him to Wyoming where fight was
made to prevent his being taken to
Chicago. The cow boys gathered for
| miles around and jail delivery was
feared. 1t also forced her to combat
political influence OF the strongest
kind and the perjured evidence Of
men who sought to keep the head of
the sTortune tellers' trust cut of all.
Hundreds Of dollars were spent to
save Ryan from extradition, and the
influence of G. P. Bertshe, former
saloonkeeper and politician, who
welded considerable influence during
the Busse administration, was said to
have been exerted TO the same cad.
Mrs. McEIdowney tells how it
happened as follows: "I went to see
the professor out of curiosity" said
the West Salem woman. 81 had
always been interested in the occult
and expected to find some of the
mysterious equipment of which l had
read. Instead I found a man in q
business suit. There was a typewriter,
telephone and card index system
such as one might find in any business
office.
ellis advice was good for some time
and in the end he gained my conf
dence completely. He made several
thousand dollars in investments for
me, but in the end lost my money"

Pattison Murphy, who with Mrs.

that he likes life OF the western prai-

until July they will return to New
Salem, stay until the folio wing August
and then prove up on the claim. He
says the 100 acres will be worth about
$4,000. The land is located about
three miles from the station and upon
it may be grown wheat, oates, bGrley
or flax. These are the staple products
of that country Mr.. Murphy says he
saw 1E0 loads of grain delivered at the
station in one day. He also says po-
tatoes are fine but there is no market
for them. All fruit is high. Carpenters
get 81 90 a day and board. Jack
rabbits? "Yes, sir" says Mr.. Murphy.
They are big fellows and he shot
several in one day. There are plenty
of prairie chickens. Mr.. Murphy says
it is a delight to see the trees in Wis
consin again and to anticipate the
loads of strawberries that will soon be
ripe. Mrs. Murphy proposes to can
several busheI to be enjoyed in the
prairie land when they return. Since
going away he says twenty-five OF his
old friends and acquaintance have
died. He misses them ell and regrets
the terrible toll Of death. After they
have acquired full title to the land

Ants Eat Through Lead Cables.

White ants are causing much trou- ble in South Australia in telephone cables and also in the underground electric light lines. On the lead sheathed telephone cables crosses be- tween the circuits began to occur. Upon withdrawing some of this cable from the ducts it was found that the ants had eaten through the lead in many places. On the Sidney system of electric lighting the ants ate through the bitumen compound and then through the lead and high ten sion insulation next to the wire. To stop the ravages which will incur an enormous expense if not checked, arsenious oxide mixed with bitumen, a sort of pitch, is being applied to the cables. Carbon bisulphide is also be- Ing tried with the idea that the odor will drive the ants away.

WHY THE RABBIT AT EASTER
Pretty Legend of olden Times Con- nects Bunny and the Eggs 1t Is
 Supposed to Lay.

So many have asked, Why is the rabbit so closely associated with East err" Each year at this season the cunning little bunny appears in the shop windows beside downy chicks and gayly-colored eggs. The legend or the Easter rabbit is one of the most ancient in mythological lore and IS closely related to the folk tales or southern Germany.
 In the beginning of things. it seems. the rabbit was bird. AS great far for the. goddess Ostara, who was the patron of spring. gave it four legs, for which the rabbit was deeply grateful. In remembrance of its former life as a bird. when the spring or Easter season comes 1t lays eggs of gorgeous colors. and the egg has always been symbol of the resurrection, and therefore used at Easter time when we look for the life everlasting and all things made new.
 It Is a German custom for children to go to their godmothers at Easter for the RlII Ol COtOtGo C66o eAA4o tA pe%AANN rabbit. Just before Easter the chil- dren are sent to the garden to build a nest for the expected rabbit. and early Easter morning they go with great ex- pectations, and are never disappoint- ed. to get the eggs which the rabbit has laid for them. Even in Africa, among the heather tribes, worship of the egg is common. No altar. is com plete without it's egg decoration, and most huts have at least one sacred egg. On all the eggs devoted to the rites of worship verse from the Koran Is written at each end, while the sides are ornamented by scenes from the Nile.
 X rare specimen of these eggs is to be seen in the Detroit Museum of Art. The etchings on the shell follow close ly the same general design as the paintings of men and women that were recently found in Cairo.
