Makes cummins Sure.

David Brant in Iowa City Repuph-
can: The Republican considers the
nomination Of Connolly as already
settling the senatorial election. There
will be voting next fall, but there will
not be much Of contest. Whatever
may be in doubt, there is none con-
nected with the election of Senator
Cummins. The Connolly nomination
means the absolute domination OF the
Wilson machine in Iowa. The Iowa
people will not indorse the Wilson
administration by electing Connolly
to the senate. The act OF the presi-
dent insulting tbs Grand Army and
through them all patriotic citizens
who love the flag and revere its de-
tenders will not go down In Iowa.
Then there is, the tariff legislation,
the NJ sxican fiasco, Bryan and his
plumbers and plenty Of other things
not relished by republicans. no mat
ter what particular label they may
wear. The, Wilson hackers in Iowa
have forced the Wilson issue. Soma
tor Cummins owes them vote OF
thanks. They have made his success
sure. Iowa will elect Cummins, not
in return for his anti-republican poll
cies, but because his election will be
the only way to assure the country
that Iowa is not in accord with the
president.

HousEHoLDERs STORE COAL

The anthracite coal operators have
found 1t wise policy to allow dis
counts from the circular prices dur
ing the spring In order to induce con.
sumers to buy their supplies OF coal
during the summer months. Tie
householder's cellar bins, widely dis
tributed and filled with coal, thus be-
come great reserve storage. Be-
cause of this policy there has been a
marked increase in the number OF
working days the employees have
been able to make and the shipments
of coal have been more uniform
throughout the twelve months Of the
year. From 1892 to 1901, the year in
which the spring discounts went into
effect, the mean average time worked
in the anthracite region was 179 days.
Since 1902 the average number OF
working days has fallen below 200 in
only one year, 1906. when there was
a long suspension pending the renew
al of wage contracts. In 1913 it was
257.
In 1913 the railroad shipments Of
anthracite coal amounted to $685.
628 long tons. of which 34.707 ,619
tons, or SOB per cent, we're sent out
during the winter months. and 34.362,-
0O9 tons, or 49.7 per cent, in the sum-
mer months. the difference between
winter and summer shipments being
less than 100000 tons.

when being removed, pulls out in long

the secretion reveals masses of what
appear to be crystals. Until recently
no satisfactory explanation Of the
presence of these crystals in the eye
has been given. Secretion taken
from the eyes of two sisters suffering
from this peculiar complaint were
submitted to the professor OF pathol-
ogy of one of the university medical
schools, who found that the crystals
came from rice face powder. Seven
other patients in which the same
symptoms and microscopic conditions
were found all used the same make of

section, the following from President
John R. Graham Of the Bangor CMe.)

adds, ''but we put limit Of three

The Evening Cool.

o tired day, the evening cool
Lies round you like limpid pool.
And over it the fresh winds bring
The breath OF dew refreshening;
The nesting birds one last chirp
sound,
The little insects beat the ground
with footsteps like the tap OF rain
Miss Night is at the window pane!
Rest warm and weary hours. beside
This cool and limpid evening tue!
1t runs far back in caves of blue
Down which the twinkling stars
peer through;
A sea so vast and deep and lar,
II bears to us the breath OF star,
And on our fevered lips and brow
How fine that air that blew just now!
Dear earth, how deep must be thy
Joys
In evening cool, when on thy ears
The laughter Of the little noise
OF night comes down the grove OF
years.
The chattering over every nest
OF little fledglings going to rest.
AS there by Natures cradle stands
Miss Night, with popies in her hands!

SMALL REFRIeERATINe PLANTS

SMALL REFRIGERATING PLANTS.
Electricity has made possible the
small refrigerating plant for the
home or for lesser business houses.
Artificial cold and ice is produced at
will, in any degree as desired, by
mechanical means. A small electric
motor congresses ammonia gas. This
gas, In expanding, absorbs enormous
quantities Of heat, thus producing a
lower temperature as desired.
The use of ice for refrigerating pur-
poses has many disadvantages. The
ice has to be stored. hauled and
placed in the cooling chamber. There
is water. dampness and dirt. The
temperature cannot be easily regu-
lated where ice is used. The maxi
mum degree of cold is not sufficient
for many purposes. Mechanical re-
frigeration supplies dry cold Of any
desired degree; the temperature pro-
duced can be readily varied to suit
different purposes, and experience
goes to prove that, under average
conditions, mechanical refrigeration
is cheaper than ice.
The electric motor permits the use
of mechanical refrigeration in very
small units, which needs little atten-
ton. Ice cream plants find them far
superior to the old salt-and.ice mix
ture for freezing and hardening the
cream. Large industrial plants use
them for cooling drinking water,
which is pumped to fountains in all
parts of the works. The florist finds
them special application for pre-
serving flowers and preventing buds
from opening until wanted for sale.
Modern apartment houses supply
each tenant with a mechanically
cooled refrigerator.
The cost of operation varies, of
course, with conditions, the principal
items of the operating expense being
for electrical energy. water, Oil and
ammonia. The last two are small, as
little oil is needed and one supply
of ammonia should last year or two

Both cotton goods and wooienS are
comparatively scarce and exceedingly
strong. Interior distributors report
good demand for nearly all classes OF
fabrics. Importations Of foreign
goods are coming in more freely; but
the percentage of these compared with
she nations product as whole. Is
not large enough to have any serious
EFFECT. Nevertheless the new tarin
has potential influence; inasmuch as
any advance In prices here would In
vite rapid increase in importations
under; existing conditions. The crop
outlook continues most gratifying.
There was slight drop during May
| In tne condition of wheat, but the
government report still indicates a
yield of about 90o,00o.0o0 bushels,
which is much the largest yield ever
recorded. Early threshing reports OF
winter wheat show an unusually
large yield per acre. Making liberal
allowances for probable deterioration
i In spring wheat, the wheat harvest Is
Jas certain as can be 20 prove large
and a most important stimulating In
fluence. Reports concerning the cot
ton crop are not entirely satisfactory,
but the outlook for corn is favorable
and nearly all the important fruit
crops show a condition above the
average.
The outlook for stocks favors a
further hardening of values. AS
shown above. improving political con-
ditions. prospects of a favorable rate
decision, certainty of moderate ease
in money. the early inauguration Of
the new banking system, the encour-
aging harves. prospects and the strong
technical condition of the security
market are all in favor of better
prices. The principal offsets at the
moment are heavy gold exports and
temporary postponement OF the rate
decision. The situation abroad has
been materially improved by liquida-
ton and gold imports from the Unit
ed States. At the moment there is no
serious uncertainty except Mexico.
Something unexpected or disastrous
may occur there, but the unshrinking
determination of the government thus
far to refrain from actual hostilities
is reassuring. We must accustom our
selves to unrest in Mexico, and leave
that country to work out its own
salvation; combining ourselves to Of
fering whatever advice or assistance
may prove acceptable to that unfor-
tunate country. Mexico is nation of
resources, and will undoubt-
eddy enjoy a period of great prosperity
when the presen. difficulties have been
adjusted. Meanwhile, our true policy
should be one of disinterested friend
ship, and not one OF interference.
