THE CATTLE INDUSTRY.

The inability of this country to pro- duce sufficient meat to supply the de mands of the country has operated to greatly reduce the necessary amount required for the market and the at- tendant result is the undesirable ef- feet upon the price. How conditions concerning the meat supply has changed in this country is evidenced by the change in the trade. 9 Former ly large amounts of beef on the hoof, or as meat have been exported but the demands here have been so great that this has shown a marked dimin- utfon. In the past eight months there have been but twelve and a half thou sand head exported and a tr1fie less than five million pounds of meat, while six years ago there were over 270,000 head of cattle and 175 million pounds of meat sent out of the coun- try.
 Another evidence of the demand in this country for an increase in it's cat tie supply is to be found in the fig ures of the department of commerce showing a large increase in the inn portation of cattle since 222, ,O00 head were brought in against 12,500 six years ago. Thus while the number of cattle on farms has decreased i4 mil- lion in the six year period the num- Der exported has decreased to one twentieth and the importations have increased nearly twenty times The failure of the cattle raising industry is apparent and still further importa- uons can be anticipated before any decided change is effected even if 1t is possible to get imported beef to ac- cOmpiish the desired reduction.

NEW ENGLAND BEST.

It only requires a review of the hor- rible results attending the terrific
 windstorms which have visited the middle west and culninated in the de- structive tornado at Omahaf and su- burbs with a long death list and ex- tensive. property losses, to make the New Englander satisfied with the conditions as they exist in the east. The large district which has been swept by the furious winds is subject to terrific storms which have free sweep across the plains unchecked by hills and are constant menace. The physical conditions of that part of the country are conducive 10 such storms which have long been the ter TOT of the plains for there hills are un- known. Storms in New England might accomplish as great destruction were it not for the natural barriers to break their force.
 The middle west and the far west all have their attractions and their ad- vantages but they also have their drawbacks and their dangers. Their torna does, earthquakes and floods car a manner which is hardly understand able in New England. and the New Englander can feel satisfied that he is not experienced in their ways. Many are the travellers who return with the declaration that the rest of the country is beautiful and interest ing but they are satisfied with New England. and are strong in their. con viction that while other sections have their adVanta ges, New England is good enough for them. It needs but such experiences as Omaha's for New England to give thanks for her hills.

OUR DIPLOMATIC SYSTEM.

President Wilson is having much trouble filling the most important posts in the diplomatic system. Three men of high qualifications, and in his opinion particularly fitted for giving this country the best of service as am bassadors have declined the presi- dent tender of office Ma atura1ly he offered the place of ambassador to those whom he believed the best men. sympathetic with the administra ton. but it is not always the best men who their attendant obligations. and there in lies much of the difficulty which the president is encountering.
 As appointments go the diplomats are well paid but there are the social requirements which push up the ex- penses to far beyond the salary In view of the difficulties which are being encountered it is not surprising that the president declares the embassy system a failure. It is a condition which has previously been pointed out wherein a change is needed. This country fails to pay 8 FeooInpensing salary to many of its. diplomats though they lead the list. and there is ernment in providing legations for it's representatives, except those which are hired Much sacrifice is required on the part of those who accept such appointments, so much so that only the wealthy can afford to become di- plomats. This is a. display of the ex- isting situation. not new by any means. but so brought to attention that 1t is due to receive the consider alton which is deserved. As one of the leading nations our position is hu- initiating.

CONNECTICUT WANTS THE BEST.

Opportunity is now given for the Democratic state senate to caucus again and recede from the arbitrary position taken upon the appointment of Tax Commissioner Corbin for an- other term. Their stand against con- drmation of the governors desire to retain the commissioners services for the welfare of the state has aroused a storm of protest and one which they cannot afford to overlook. For legis- lators to remain firm in their position against the best interests of the com monwealth as set forth in the state. ment by Governor Baldwin, and against the leader of the party who is serving, as he declares the require ments of ali the people of Connecticut is taking 8 narrow view of the situa- tion, especially since it is against the facts in the matter and forsaking of merit for the spells system.
 When Governor Baldwin in his statement says: T found no man in the state whose qualifications for tax commissioner can bear comparison with those of Mir. Corbin" he con fesses to having sought others of his own party who were qualified. Failing to find others, in view of MT. Corbin's record he was bound to acknowledge the commissioners telling oualifica tions, and in such a proper admission he should have the backing of the Democratic senate. If the best inter- ests of the state are being served the senate cannot afford to do anything but confirm and any action by that body against confirmation is a sad comm entary upon the responsibility entrusted to them. Connecticut wants the best man. If it doesn't get him 1t will be the ia ut of the senate.

1 The famous ropewalker Antonio Zo-
 relli, has been drowned in Switzerland, l his boat having capsized in Lake of l the Four Cantons
 Antonio Zorelli read this notice in a i well known artists paper and smiled. l for the paper contained a notice of his l own death inserted by himself. He had done so, because it was ab- soIutely necessary that he should die. and as he did not feel the last inclined to leave this world. he did the next best thing, made it appear that he had died
 There was really nothing more to be done in Switzerland He had lived in every town in the small country and now summer was approachihg. He had a business engagement, so he must go back to Germany. He ought to have felt happy. at this. for he was a true German, and loved his country. But in Germany. somebody was waiting for him-his wife who had once been the very soul of his heart. Now she threat ened him with jail if he did not pay her the alnnony the court had ordered him to pay.
 He did not make one hundred marks a month; but even if he had been full of money. he would not have paid her anything Still he could not deny that he loved her still. Here in Switz- erland she could not reach him, but in Germany she would have the police on his path within a week after his ar riVal
 Of course, it was his own fault. Why had he, the smart, daring little ropewalker, married a giantess and athlete2 Everybody had warned him, and when he spoke of his great love, his friend, Dallinger, had said:
 One may love female giant. but one certainly does not marry her"
 They were happy together, however, until that unfortunate day came and darkened their love. And whose fault had it been? His friends. of course, who had teased him, saying that he was henpecked. To show them they were wrong he had remained at the cafe. and to get sufficient courage to go home he had kept on drinking. In- stead of apologizing to his wife for be-,
 ing late and Ealf drunk he had raised a low because the roast was over done.
 Edith. at first, had listened to him very patiently, and told him that the roast must naturally be overdone when he came home at instead of at l. She had not lost her patience until he had thrown a book at her. This Was too much for her, so she had giv en him a much deserved spanking as easily. as if he were a small boy and put him outside the door. In spite of all the touching letters, she wrote him afterwards he refused to come back She sued him for divorce. but her pc tition was not granted, though the court sentenced him to pay her a hun dred marks q month and the costs. And this was why he must pretend to be dead.
 He did not feel safe, howev CT. for it was a lons trip; and he was short of money, so he had to be very saving until he reached Puttbus. where he was to receive his salary in advance.
 When he reached the steamer for Puttbus, he had just two marks left to pay for his ticket. The fare was to be collected on board, and so far mo- body had. asked him for any money,

NEW DISCOVERY QUICKLY CURES
 KIDNEY AND BLADDER TROUBLES

acid that lodges in the joints and mus cles, causing rheumatism: seothes and heals the delicate Things of the bladder; and puts the kidneys and urinary organs in a clean, strong, healthy condition.
 More than a few doses of Croxone are seldom required to relieve even while it cures the most severe forms of kidney, bladder trouble, and rheu- matism in a surprisingly short time.
 You will find Croxone entirely diff ferent from all other remedies. There is nothing else on earth like it. It is so prepared that it is practically inn possible to take it into the human system without results. An original package costs but a trif1e at any first class drug store. such as that of Lee & Osgood Go. All druggists are au- thOrized to personally return the purchase price if Croxone fails to give the desired results the very first time you use it.

DROWNED

though they were almost two hours out already He was dreadfully hun 1 gry. but dared not buy anything. | i'WouId you please tell me what Is | the fare to Puttbus?' he asked one of his fellow passengers. why, this boat does not go to Putt bus. It goes to Burg. or Femern.'
 Good Lord. Is that far ?' "Yes quite 8 way.
 And how much is the fare 9
 "Six or seven marks, I think" Zorelli was terror stricken. He saw the purser coming now and did not know what to do.
 He ran forward and hid himself be- hind some barrels where he remained until the boat was made fast and all the passengers gone aShore
 When it was quite dark he tried to sneak ashore but a burly sailor col Jared him.
 It was the captain. and there was nothing for him to do but to tell him the tale of misery. He did so' ana o1o not forget to tell him that he had eat en nothing that day.
 Quite nice yarn, that said the captain, but it does not work. have a mind to turn you over to the po- lice"
 captain was merciless, and dragged him off the boat and along the street until they came to a large restaurant.
 Well, I am not quite as heartless as you think. Now eat and drink as much as you like. and tomorrow l Will take you back for nothing, you little fool,'' said the captain.
 ZoreHi would not believe his own ears but the captain put foamlng beer mug in his hand and told him to drink and be merry.
 From the next room came the sound of an organ and the singing of 8 hymn.
 What does this ?" the captain asked of the landlord
 Tt is memorial SerVlce. 1he IadN of the manor has lost her husband, who was drowned, and the church is being repaired, so the service can be held here
 At this moment the door was open ed and the new lady of the manor. Frau Edith, Zorelli, born kuehn, came into the room in her widows weeds
 Zorelli stared at his wife, unable to move as much as a finger, while she gave a loud cry and fainted.
 Her first words on recovery were:
 T thought you were dead ??
 Not yet" he said.
 Then you were not drowned in
 T do not know what you mean" he lied. Tt must have been somebody else.'
 She threw herself in his arms and sobbed with joy.
 Then the memorial service was for me" he said softly.
 She nodded. smiling through her tears. She looked charming that Zorelli kissed her.
 And what are you doing here?" he asked sternly. He was her husband, so he had right to know.
 -I am living here.'' she said gently "A distant relative of mine. Uncle Haas, you know. has left me his estate here I have plenty of money.

IMPORTING COACHES

English shells and English methods have been brought to this country for the purpose of bettering the work of the college crews. They have played their part showing their advantages and providing opportunity for the elimination of faults in American styles of rowing, either through changes or combinations. Yale has failed for several years to make the contest with Harvard interesting It has been a reversal of position with HarVard an easy winner making it evident that radical improvement either in form or methods is needed to get the annual event back on it's old basis and make it a contest instead of a procession.
 The announcement that English rowing coaGhes are coming to Yale to teach the system with which they have had such success adds new in terest to the race. Their work will be followed with interest but. as the Sew York Herald says: Tt will be no easy task to reorganize the American style of rowing so completely in one year. a s to bring forth a winner but if the Britons are able to do it their visit will have an important bearing on the coaching of American college crews in the future. Mr Gold and Mr. liar court have had a great measure of success in developing winning Oxford crews. and there is no question but they will have plenty of raw material to fashion into the finished product here. The fact that American coach ing methods will he on trial against British this summer will add greatly to the interest in the regatta
 After importing methods and shells without deriving the desired results the importation of coaches means get ting a the real fountain head of the English principles.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
The Problem in Percentage.

MT. Editor: The solvers of Inquirer s business problem cannot agree. The question was not clearly expressed There are two schools in matter of figuring profits, at great variance, one with the other The older method was to figure percentage of profit on cost Of the goods The new school, more greedy and tricky, insist that profit should be figured on selling price, " tich gives the merchant a percent age of profit not only upon cost oF goods, store rental, clerk cost, advef - Using, delivery, lighting, and all othe'' expenses, but actually upon the profit itself.
 It is merely a. quarrel between th: two factions. Figures will not lie, but unfortunately liars will figure.
