Rad Cedar For Pencils.

Missouri, particularly the Ozark hills,
furnishes the greater part Of the WOOD
used in making lead pencils. Though
many other varieties have been tried.
none has proved as satisfactory as the
red cedar. The cedars grow on the
rocky hillsides all through the White
river district Of Missouri. They are
small, stunted trees, seldom reaching a
diameter OF more than a foot at the
butt. The logs are either hauled to the
1ailroad and sent to the mill or f1oated
in RATS down the river. At the MIL
the logs are first cut lengthwise by cir
cular saws into planks. These are cut
into right lengths for lead pencils, ana
those chunks 90 into the hands OF men
who with circular saws rip them up
into what are called "slats." Only the
red heart Of the log is used. The white
sapwood is thrown away. The Stats

PIiny's Yarns.

Pliny's yarns about human anatomy
were something wonderful. He tells
of a race Of savage men whose feet
are turned backward and of Il race
known as Monocoli, who have only
one leg, but are able to leap with sur
prising agility. The same people are
also called the Sciapodae, because they
are in the habit Of, lying OIL their
backs during the extreme heat and
protecting themselves from the sun by
the shade Of their feet. These people
dwell not far from the T~roglodytae, to
the west Of whom again there are a
tribe who are without necks and have
their eyes in their shoulders.

REBUkE TO THE UNPATRiOTlC.

The ~law-abiding people of Paterson,
y. j., probably the worst hotbed Of
anarchy in this country, took a very
emphatic method Of r%ebuking the un-
+ patriotic u%tterances and actions Of
striking silk mills operatives the 9th
cr" day. They asserted their loyal
pairiotism by unfurling the Stars and
Stripes from hundreds Of business
houses and dwellings. 1t is stated
that not since the Spanish-American
war has there been such a p~rofusc
decoration of the city With the nation
al emblem.
But while this rebuke was emphatic
it was not as effective as it should
have been. About the first thing the
is to %denounce the flag of the country
and in1ame their followers with a
vicious hostility toward it. In the so
cialistic and anarchistic centers for
eigners are in the majority Of those
who create disturbances, and for that
reason the rioters are more ready to
manifest a%ntipathy toward the symbol
OF the nations authority. Having no
sympathy with or reverence for the
institutions Of the country which they
come here to exploit rather than to
! help build is not to be expected
that they should consider themselves
amcnable to the laws of the land or to
the authority represented by the flag,
to any extent greater than is reGui-
site for their own. safety.
It seems scarcely necessary to say
that this attitude, Should be rebuked
with greater vigor9than is shown in
the mere negative exhibition of loyal
ty on the part of the law-abiding citi-
Zens. The strikers and trouble max
ers, whether native or foreign, should
be taught that the flag must not be
insulted, that it is their flag as well
as that Of the patriotic, and that while
cheerful allegiance is to be preferred
to unwilling submission, yet, submits
slon must be exacted in some form.
The extremes to which the lawless
disturbers are permitted to go are
often amazing to those who are ac-
qnainted with the rigorous measures.
adopted in other countries to compel
RESPECT for the national authority.
Conduct which would not be tolerated
for an hour in foreign countries is a,
erica, and sooner or later Americans
must awake to the danger to their in
situations involved in public demon
STATIONS Of antagonism, whether on
the part of aliens by birth or of those
more reprehensible "aliens" who were
born here but who join with the other
enemies of the country and its flag.

he is really the more dangerous Of
the two.

Pure SUGAR.

Even a chemist. surrounded by all
his scientific laboratory equipment. can
not distinguish beet sugar from the
cane product. Although derived from
different species Of plants. the refined
product from the juice Of the cane and
beet is the same in composition, in
sweetening power, in dietetic effect, in
chemical reaction. in all other respects.
Furthermore, if maple sugar were re-
boiled and passed through the process
Of refining it would lose its aroma and
flavor, which are wholly in the impuri'
ties, and the white crystals would be
identical with those derived from
sugar cane and sugar beets. Pure
sugar, whether derived from beet or
cane, is as identical as is pure gold,
whether mined in the Rocky mountains
or in the acknowledgement.

Every contribution that is made TO

is dn abundance Of general work for
il to do.
Such matters as the promotion OF
road improvement, the proper adjust
ment OF freight rates, the study OF
problems OF taxation and others OF
this class affect the interests of the
whole state. and afford abundant OPP
portunity for the work of q great

be handled to better effect by an or

Most important of all the work that
can be undertaken by such a general
association is that of promoting the
settlement Of the farming districts Of
the state by actual farmers who viii
make their homes on the land. After
all. it is in this that the real pros.
perity of the state, country and city,
alike, depends. The state needs moro
people on the land. Without those
people all other development must
wait. With the land properly occu-
