Wheat and Flour Duty Scored.

Chicago, April Ia. - The proposed
tariff on iour and wheat was denounc-
ed in resolutions adopted at the an
nual convention of the Millers' Nation
al Federation. The millers do o
want any tariff protection, whatever,
but urged that if a tariff be placed ou
wheat, that an equalizing tariff be
placed On the products Of wheat and
that if the products of wheat be adj
mitted free, that wheat, also be AID
mitted free Of duty. THE American
miller asks for no protection, but de-
mands justice" said William c. Edgar,
chairman of the resolutions committee
in condemning the duties.

Old Crypts in Canterbury Cathedral.

the latter's epitaph on Goldsmith III
Westminster abbey, he puts himself
for a moment almost out OF the pale OF
scholarship. George Smith, in 1889,
published a book-we must needs
style 1t d somewhat tiresome bOok-ou
the architectural features and historic
associations of the cathedral bu it
lacked both attractiveness Of style
and proper pictorial illustrations.
The present volume seems to be a
scholarly and readable account both
Of the historic events connected with
Canterbury and the architectural fea-
lures of the Gothic structure, which
was successfully the seat of Lanfranc,
Anselm and Thomas. or course, the
~last-named is by far the most conspic-
upous figure in the history of Canter-
bury. In the middle ages the death of
Thomas Of Canterbury, his canoniza-
ton by the pope, and the erection of
his shrine into a seat of healing like
Lourdes of the present day, were mem
orable testimonies to his fame. There
is q stained-glass window in the Bod
leian library in which Henry ii. is de-
picted as receiving penance on his
bare shoulders from the scourges of
monks. He is celebrated in the great
cathedral of Toledo, Spain-although
these writer's say that among the
myriads who are said to have knelt at
his shrine there is no record of a pill
grim from Spain" Many of the
churches of France contain memorials
to his honor, among which is Bayeux
cathedral. A pilgrimage to his shrine
was decreed by papal ordinance as
equal in merit to a pilgrimage to the
holy city Jerusalem.
The broad outlook and excellent
style of the authors of this admirable
treatise, both Of whom are on the
foundation If Christ church, may be
Judged from the following reference to
the trials of his martyrdom:
eff Beckett, in his death. left an in
effaceable mark on the structure of his
cathedral, and on the history of his
monastery, his city, and his Office, he
left likewise a mark far more momen-
tous and significant on the life of
C~hristendom and the history of his
doubt that Beckett caused a religious
revival than that Wesley and Whit
field did"

payment of a license fee of So on the
part of each auto owner in the state,

year until the first of January OF next

SIS a year for each individual owner.
Applicants for registration under the

plies to the county treasurers by May

cured for the six months period. Indi-
vidual owners pay at the rate of Sc a
year on each auto owned, but dealers
are given two number plates for dem
onstration cars at so per year with
the privilege Of as many additional
demonstration numbers as they desire
IN their business at 81 each.

goes into the road funds of the coun-
ties in which the license is paid with
the exception of 1919 per cent of the
fund, which is sen to the secretary of
state to pay the expens of securing
the number plates, clerk hire, records,

100000 LOSS DAILY.
IMPENDING STRIKE CAUSING UN.
EASINESS ALL OVER
COUNTRY.
VERITABLE ECONOMIC BLOW
Miners, Quarrymen and Metal and
Textile Workers and Glass
Workers All Will Join
in Walkout.

brussels, April l4.-Eelglum stands
to lose $4,000 every day the genera!
strike lasts, if, as the Socialists de-
clare and hope, so per cent of the in
dustrial laborers quit work next Mon
day. This is the estimate made by
economists.
Realization Permeating.
The full realization of the tremen-
dous economic blow impending is be-
ginning to permeate all sections of the
population and a feeling of great un-
eaSinesS reignS. The government and
local authorities are fast completing
final preparations to meet emergen-
cies.
According to latest reports from la
Dor centers, the walhOut will be com
plete among miners, metal workers,
quarrymen and textile workers.
The decision of the glass workers to
join the strike has produced something
like CONSERVATION. Every furnace that
is permitted to die down must be de-
strOyed with dynamite and rebuilt.
This would involve a total cost OF
$3.50. 900. There are 27 furnaces in
Belgium, whose export of window glass
amounts to 81, 000,0 900 a month. AS
to the blast furnaces, a majority OF
which will be allowed to cool off, their
extinction will mean a clear loss OF
100000 daily.
Dock Hands Causing Uneasiness.
The Antwerp dock workers are caus-
ing the strike organizers some uneasi-
ness. They appear to be hanging in
the balance as to whether they will
stop work, and desperate efforts are
being made to obtain their adhesion
to the strike movement. A strike by
these men would be most important as
it would bottle up the entire export
and import trade. Many workmen are
withdrawing their money from savings

Birds Enable Us to Live.

Birds live to eat. 1t is lucky for
men they do, for if the birds did not
breakfast man would not dine.
Some years ago a French scientist
told the world that if all the birds
should suddenly die man would
have only a years life left to him.
The Frenchman proved his point to
the satisfaction of other scientists,
but laymen laughed and the usual
proportion of them kept on killing.
How much does a bird eat? Take
the robin as an example. 1t eats
at certain seasons of the year about
double its weight in insects and
worms every day.
Dinner hour begins at sunrise and
ends an hour after sunset. ANY
legislation looking to the shortening
of its hours of labor, which are CO.
incident with its hours of eating,
would bring famine. All the song
birds and all the silent birds give
their service to man and they ask
no pay for it except to be let alone.
And the farmer who is wise will
let the old shotgun rust out before
he turns it on his best friends the
birds. - Edward Black in Country
Gentleman.

Game Warden Tolerton resigned

running a bank since the first of
the year, and it is said that Kirby
Smith holds an official position in
Tolerton's bank, yet both Tolerton
and Smith have been drawing sal
aries regularly from the State and
probably resigned because there
was no more money in sight to pay
salaries. The Legislature paid a
deficit for Tolerton of about $4,000
the first year, and now he is leaving
unpaid bills that will swamp the
department with a deficiency S
running into thousands. This is
strictly a Republican party way in
Missouri. When the Republican
party went out of power in the ear
ly seventies they left debts aggre-
eating forty millions of dollars sad
died upon the people, which sue
ceeding Democratic administrations
paid off. And at the close of the
term of the only Republican gov
ernor since, the same system of de-
ficits and debts prevailed in nearly
every department. The Legislature
was called upon to make good a
deficit of about $4,000 for the ma

Paid Taxes and Had to Build Road
Free.

For years the people of the Jo-
anna neighborhood have been try
ing to get back some of the money
they paid as taxes and of course
could not get it until recently when
they got enough to build bridge
over a creek. This was on condi-
ton, however. that the people would
build the road FREE. Well, they
got the bridge and have taken 81
of a mile of rough road on the main
road to Rock Lick ford and have
made it into a good automobile
road. The gentlemen had to do
many days free work besides pay
ing their own tax which was used
on other roads. Township oreani-
cation is the remedy which the citi-
zens can use and it will be a good
remedy.

'Tis not for those who walk in
pleasant places,
With summer sunshine ever
round about
Who know no toll but WOO the
smiling graces,
To know life's fondest trust and
feel no doubt.
But unto those who bend beneath
their burden
Sometimes too heavy for the
flesh to bear
Comes in the hush the blessed,
blessed guerdon
OF hopeful trust in Him who
heareth prayer.
Had life no thorns we should not
prize its roses;
No shadow, wed care little for
the sun;
1t is the weary head that best re-
poses
Gu its hard pillow, when the dny
is done.
If in this life we met no wasting
sickness,
We would not prize the jewel,
precious health;
And if we saw poverty or weak
ness.
What Jus could we have for I'M
bounded wealth?
If we had drained no cup of long
ing, yearning,
That friends would prize us so
dearly and to love,
Where we're the prize to US so dear
returning,
The hopeful trust in Him who
rules above?
