THE COUNTESS DALHoUsIE

The marriage of Miss GLADYS Grambs,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Frederick Lo-
renzo Grambs, to Mr.. Harry Groom OF
Mobile, was the chief nuptial incident of
Wednesday 1t occurred last night at
the Church of the Advent, which was
layishly decorated for the occasion and
filled with friends of the popular young
bride.
The altar was smothered in greenery;
palms and ferns stationed within the
chancel and draperies of smilaX made a
handsome background for a profusion of
sweet peas, in the various tones en-
ployed in the costumes of Miss Grambs'
pretty bridesmaids. Hundreds of sweet
peas were clustered in vases and bowls
on the altar Others. in the shades rang
posed the large shower bouquets held in
the arms of the young women of the
party. And the light from many tapers
shed a pure radiance over the altar and
its surroundings.
Into this scene, where a still dignity
was mingled with the. festive gayety Of
spring flowers, the choir of the Church
of the Advent, 30 in number, and clad in
white vestments, filed into their places
just before the entrance of the bridal
party, and with Mrs. Belle Mccoy as
accompanist, sang one of the most in
spring nuptial programmes ever pre-
sented in a Birmingham church. The
bridal chorus from 'Lohengrin'' was
sung as a professional. So elaborate a
musical programme was altogether ap-
propriate since the brides father, Prof
Grambs, is one of Birminghams pioneer
musicians and has furnished the music
for more weddings than any other local
musician with the probable exception of
Mrs. Belle Mccoy, organist for the First
Baptist church, who played the. nuptial |
music last night.

and, alternately, two groomsmen to-

TAB ON THE BEER INTO KANSAS
The Nlahin Law Affecting Carriers
Takes Effect Today.

KANSAS CITY, May 3,-This is the
day the interstate liquor traffic passes
into closer surveillance in Kansas and
today marks the first blow struck at
the extensive Missouri-Kansas traffic
in Booze
The Mahin Liquor law went into ef-
feet today, under which all common
carriers are required to make report
giving fun account Of all shipments
Of liquors received and delivered by
them. The report is made to the
county clerk every thirty days. giving
the name and address of the cOnsum-
er, the amount ana style of the liquor
received and the date of delivery.
The new law will affect Kansas
city, kan, probably more than any
other city In the state, and the meas
ure is of great interest to residents
on the Kansas side.
The term common carriers in
cludcs common beer wagons, railroad
and express deliveries. There prob
ably are one hundred beer wagons op-
Grating on the Kansas side delivering
for the Missouri side breweries and
distilleries, and it is estimated thai
they deliver five to ten thousand eases
of Der a week. There are also a great
many wildcat deliveries, persons
who solicit patronage over the line,
buy the beer on this side and deliver
1t over there at profit,
In order more thoroughly to keep
tab on the Independent delverers,
James NJ. Meek, prosecuting attorney
of Wyandottc county. has conferred
with chief Gordon, who has ordered
his patrolmen to stop every beer wag-
on that appears on the street, and to
take the name and address of the
driver, and the name of the firm for
whom he is delivering, and these
names will be checked up with the
county clerks list Of reports,
The Mahin law does not affect
those who rush the can" across the
state line only in certain circum-
stances. one may cross the line. buy
a bucket of beer at a saloon for his
own use. and go back home and drink
it, without violating the law. or a
friend may do the same thing for him.
But if the person for whom the
service is performed gives the carrier
dime out Of gratitude then the car
ricr is required by law to make a re
port TO the county clerk OF Wyan-
dotte county within thirty days
Violations of the law are punish

The FAR M

The packers convention in Chicago
recently answered afirmatively the
question, ''Can New England raise
beef?" Experts say the packers are
right, and that at present prices meat
could be proftably prodnced on New
England farms.
If New England can do it, she ought
to. So ought other states which can
raise beef much more easily than New
England. Men familiar with production
of beef say there will be little relief
from high prices until the small farmer
becomes an active producer to the ex-
tent of at least two beef steers for sale
each year.
The practical problem is how to get
the small farmer started and started
right on this phase of agriculture. The
problem confronts the irrigation far
mer of New Mexico as much as it does
anywhere in the United States. First
Of all, there must be investment of suf-
ficient money TO start the small farmer

REF And CATTLE
now IMPORTED

The recent transfer of the United
States from the small list of beef eX-
norting countries to the large list of
beef importing countries is sharply IL
mstrated by the August figures of i'm
norts and exports of beef and beef cat
tIe and comparison thereof with the
August fignres of earlier years just
made bv the bureau of foreign and do
mestic commerce of the department of
commerce. This shows that the eX-
ports of beef cattle have fallen from
$4,000, 600 value in the eight months
ended with August, 1904, to practically
$1,000 in the corresponding months of
1913, and that the lmpO1ts Of cattle
meantime increased from 5,o57 in the
eight months of 1904 to SAC, lO5 IN the
same period of 1918, and their value
from $l81, las In 1904 10 5,O3l ,842 IN
1918. AS to beef, the .mpOrtatIons IN
1904 were insufficient To justify their
statement month by month, and the
total value Of beef imported for con-
sumption in the fnll fiscal year 1904 was
but $14, 922, while the single month of
July, 1913, showed a total importation
of 642, 394 pounds, valued at 56, 993. 90;
August, a total of l, Isl, 626 pounds, val
ued at 50, 2O4.O0, and September about
an equal amount.
Even the value of the comparatively
small number of cattle exported is now
less per head than in earlier years, des-
pite the general advance in prices mean
time, The average export price of the
1869 head of cattle in the eight months
ended with August, 191s. was "a dol

for the 418, 1865 head of cattle exported

On the import side there is a decrease

radically from that of those exported,
being mostly, on the export side, grain

on the import side, grass fed cattle IN
many cases but one or two years of age.
Practically all the cattle imported for
other than breeding purposes are
brought in from Mexico, that country

DIRECT SEEDING
GIVES GOOD RESULTS

Pine seed sown directly in the
spots where the trees are to grow
is yielding good results in young
trees on the Tahoe national for
est in Western California.
This is a marked contrast to
the usual results in such cases,
because squirrels, mice and birds
will eat the seeds where they are
planted without protection, and
even when these enemies allow
the seed to germinate, the drying
out of the seed in drouth periods
is usually too much for the tiny
seedlings during their first sea-
son.
Because of these yicissitudes,
foresters usually find it advanta-
geous to grow the seedlings in
nursery beds, where seeds and
plants can be protected by wire
screens and shade frames, and
where water can be applied when
needed. Usually, too, the seed
lings are transplanted once or
twice before they are set out in
their final situation, the trans
planting process serving to de-
velop stocky plants with compact
sturdy roots. While the nursery
bed and transplant process in
wolves more work, it is said to be
generally cheaper in proportion
to resnlts accomplished, particu-
larly when the cost of seed is
taken into consideration.
The California experiment,
which indicates the possibilities
of direct seeding of certain spe-
cies in some localities, was con-
Quoted on an area of 22 acres,
sown in the fall of 1910 to Jeff
rey pine. A large number of
seedlings have become thorough
! ly established and have made
thrifty growth. The plantation
is at an altitude of 5000 feet
where there is more moisture
than at lower elevations.
When the seeds were planted
they were coated with red lead
to discourage mice and other ro-
dents, but so far as the forest
officers could find out the lead
coating had no such effect; not
enough of the seed was eaten,
however to destroy the value OF
the planting.

GAIN In CATTLE
Loss IN SHEEP

A statistical review just made
of last years grazing business
on the Colorado national forests,
shows that there were 8, 382 more
cattle and 500 more horses grazed
during the fiscal year ended June
80, 1913, than during the previ-
Gus fiscal year. At the same
time there were $50, 121 less
sheep and COZ less goats.
The reduction in the number of
sheep was due primarily to a fall
ing off in the feed-in-transit
shipments from states west of
Colorado. Under this plan, buy
ers purchase sheep in states west
of Colorado, and summer them
in that state en- route to Missouri
river points. This year the oper-
ations of these men were much
less extensive than formerly, and
a large amount of sheep range,
with abundant pasturage, was
vacant on the Colorado forests.
Nevertheless, 2,758 grazing
permits were issued, and the
stock covered by these permits
included 259,342 cattle, 9,4O0
horses, 627, 715 sheep, and lab
goats. These figures represent
about "a per cent, or nearly one
fourth, of all the cattle, 3 per
cent of all the horses, and Sc per
cent, or more than one-third, of
all the sheep owned within the
state of Colorado.
