Red Tape In, France

Paris.-A remarkable story of what Of
fetal red tape can accomplish comes from
a seaport IN Brittany. 1t appears that
the sanitary department had an old plug
for stopping up pipes which had become
useless through age. The chief of the de-
partment accordingly applied to the min
lister through the official channels for
permission to incur the necessary expense
to replace the plug.
The minister after long reflection asked
if the plug really couldn't be used lit
tie more, and three witnesses had to cer-
tify in writing that 1t couldn't. Finally
the minister notified the department, still
through the official channels with all the
usual delays, that new plug might be
bought.
Then the question of what to do with
tn old one arose. The chief of the de-
partment. through the official channels
asked if he might give it to the port au-

Election Has Taken Place

The mine inspectors institute has per-
haps the most unique method of elections
of any organization that ever met in this
city. Despite the fact that the election
does not take place until tomorrow the
officers have already been elected. They
were in fact elected before the members
of the institute reached Birmingham. Bal
lots are sent out to the members prior to
the meeting which are marked and re-
turned to the secretary. The ballots are
unopened until the last day of the in
stitute when they are counted and the
winners elected.
From present indications it would seem
that ID. J. Roderick of Pennsylvania and
Thomas *. Adams are leaders for the
presidency.

August was spent by the pastor
Win the good people OH Timber creek

bringing their dinners. After an OPP

splendid meal and visit together.
rms was followed by service at

seven members was organized con-
s'st'ng of the following people: Mr..

A year has gone by. Many and
varied have been the duties and prob

and some victories. Neither will
justify pastor or people in stopping

OF who serves the circuit during the
coming year there will be great OPP
portunities, calling for courage and
persistence and self denial.

weather is causing considerable dis
comfort; however splendid time is
anticipated. The men are coming in
from their charges in all directions,

IMPROVING THE SEED.
Tanning Mill or Similar Machine Of
Great Importance.

Tanning Mill or Similar Machine OF
Great Importance.
There are three important agents
in improving the quality of seed
grain, after it is once on hand. These
agencies are the tanning mill, the
seed germinatOr. and the use of for
maldehyde or some similar substance
in treating the seed grain.
The tanning mill and machines
similar are of great Importance. BY
their use, the purity of grain may often
be much increased. Oats may be re.
moved from wheat or barley, barley
may be removed from wheat, and
other separations may be made. The
tanning mill and grading machines
are of prime importance in removing
foul weed seed from seed grain
These machines have now been car
ried to high pitch of efficiency.
These machines can be depended
upon to grade the seeds to uniform
size and by discarding the shrunken
seeds to increase the weight of the
seed. By discarding shriveled seeds
the viability of the seed is apt to be
much increased, as the small seeds
are often the weak ones.
The tanning mill and seed graders
are of the greatest value in getting
rid of diseased grain. AS ! have
stated, the small, shriveled seeds are
the ones most apt to be diseased,
and by getting rid of them we will
take long step forward in reducing
plant diseases.
From every standpoint, then, the
tanning mill is of first importance to
the farmer. So important is this ma
chine that it would be well for the
school to have a small tanning mill
for demonstration work. Many inter-
esting and valuable things can be
done with one. II there were not
enough time during school days to
use the mill, the teacher no doubt
would be able to get some of the pu.
pills together on Saturday.

The world is overloaded and over
armed. This is a mechanical age, an
inventive age, a splendid age; an age
in which all the capitals that can be
supplied. all the surplus savings, all
the liquid resources of rich countries
are greedily absorbed and swallowed,
says the London Economist. If the
money could be employed in reproduc-
tive works, or in the promotion of pub
lie utilities, all would be very well, for
the liquid fund Of capital. e., the
saved surplus-would grow larger
year after year, expanding with every
expansion of industrial activity. But,

ogres of our barbaric civilization, are
greedily devouring a larger and larger

administered by Pelkey. The jury was

of manslaughter inasmuch as the blow
he struck was not intended to cause
fatal results.
In his charge to the jury, Mr.

test was Illegal, but he said there was
no doubt that death had been caused
by blow and that the jury should
hconsider only whether the defendant
was guilty of causing the death of his

Ah. KInaI Arc You There2

There are Americans, no doubt, who
would as soon call up King George v.
on the telephone as John Smith, but
in England no normal person who was
not privileged would attempt the au-
dacity. Whether or not the story is
true that militant suffragette, repre-
senting herself as the duchess of Fife,
gave the royal number, which is sup
posed to be carefully guarded secret,
and actually had audience with his
majesty with the receiver in his rev.
erend hand, it might well be true, for
the militants stop at nothing E.
Heckling the king over the telephone
is not brilliant conception; in fact,
rather ordinary, but story that
George had been tricked into talking
with a bold militant would be fine
advertisement of the cause-they
would call it ripping" in England.

Sugar Manager Asked for Injunction
I Claims Law to Safeguard Investors
Causes Unrest in Business
and Harms Rights.

Topeka, Kan, June, 24.-For the
first time since its enactment the
celebrated Kansas "blue-sky" law, TAX
en- as model for nearly all similar
legislation in other states, is inopera-
tive tonight. Judge A. w. Dana OF the
district court, granted temporary re-
straining order late today restraining
the state officials from enforcing 1t.
A suit in which the court is asked
to make the Injunction permanent was
filed today by o. A. Mounday, general
manager of the American Sugar Refin-
ing company with headquarters here.
He alleges that the law deprives him
of all the rights guaranteed him I'M
der the constitution of the state and
nation. The petition states that the
law has caused a general unrest
aEong business men and that 1t has
injured his business.
Attorney General Dawson in a state
ment tonight declared the suit would
result in a benefit to the officers re-
sponsible for it's enforcement as it
would give them judicial interpre-
tation OF the statute.
The Kansas blue sky law, intended
to safeguard investors in stocks and
bonds and other securities, was passed
two years ago. Visitors from all over
the country have come here to investi-
gate it's workings and 1t has served
as model for many similar statutes.

WAGE EQUALS THAT OF MEN
Women of Norway Employed In Pos
tai Service Held in Fight Against
Lower Salary.

1t seems predestined that eternal
Vigilance shall be the price paid by
women for equal pay for equal work
the world over. For fifty years Nor
weigian women in the postal service
have been paid the same salaries as
men for the same work. Five years
ago a conservative administration pro-
posed lower wages for the woman
postal employees as a good way to
reduce government expenses. The
measure was lost, and the question
was allowed to rest. in peace until
last year, when another conservative
administration again proposed to dis
criminate against women by making
their rises in salary, after certain
periods of service, lower than those
of the men holding the same positions
and with the same claim to advance
ment The majority report of the
committee that had the bill under
consideration was in favor of it's ac-
ceptance. But the elections of 1912
resulted in the return of a majority
of liberals to the storthing, and the
formation of liberal cabinet. The
new postmaster general sided with
the minority report on the PROPOSE
ton, and a great many of the storth-
ing members also espoused the wom-
ems cause. The final vote stood SO
against the bill to 80 for, and the
woman employees will continue to re-
ceive equal pay for equal work as
heretofore.
