A BANKER "coMES BACK"

When Paul Stensland, president o1 a Chicago ban, absconded ln l9oo with S50O,O00 belonging to his depos~ itors, James keeley, editor of the Chicago Tribune, who has never got over being a tirst-class reporter, To- cated his trail, followed him to Mor- occo and brought him home. Stems land confessed and placed the blame upon an absconding cashier. He took his medicine, however, and served four years in the penitentiary. The cashier also served a term. The banks depositors were paid 85 cents on the dollar Addressing a meet ing of Chicago business men the other day, Mr. Keeley said:
 "The banker whom they say brought back has come back He went to the penitentiary and stayed there four years. He came out. Two days before Christmas last year he called upon me and was the hap piest man I have seen in ten years"
 Stensland is on his feet again.. Is making money and has placed more than 50 per cent of his earnings in MT. Keeley's hands against the time when the depositor. can be paid in full the balance that was not paid by the receiver. The fact that he has placed the funds in the hands of the man who brought him back from Africa to face term in prison is proof of his complete repentance and his determination to place himself in position where he can again look the world in the face. He proposes to prove that man may err grievously and still be a man. He is going to be citizen again." said MT. keeley, "and there is no man for whom have more affection"
 The old world is not cruel, after all. It is ready to meet more than half way the man who has gone wrong and who is making an honest effort to get back into the right way of living. thinking and doing.

Bows and Bonfires.

The most fun boy can have is at a barn fire.
 The frecklcd boy says you call them barn fires because you build them near barns. Boys usually build them after elections in the fall, but any time when you feel bully is Il good time. *.* Sticks of wood do not seem so heavy when you are carrying them to a bonfire as when you are bringing them in for the hired girl. Splinters don't hurt so much either. The free kled boy says the reason is because you are having fun. Why, he ran a long silver under his nail one night at a bonfire and he never noticed it until school time the next morning. Then it hurt him terribly. He had to stay out of school all day, and he could not do his chores. Part of the day he carried his arm in sling l-a'>= >=Auburn ana, Freek les" t%.S .-' Y. / !-

BETWEEN PRODUCER AND CON-
 SUMER

However desirable increased pro from the consumers standpoint, it does not follow that such increased production would result in any in crease in the cash income per farm or per capita of farm population, or that prices paid by consumers would be any lower. because retail prices under-production, and are very slow to decline if fthere is over-produc- tion.--Deparlment of Agriculture Re port.
 In other words, the law of supply and demand works to keep prices up when the supply is short but does not crop supplies are big. That leads one to ask, what is to be done about it? Can anything be done that will be effective and substantial? Can anything be done to allow prices to have some independtnt swing be-  tween the farmer and consumer?
 Good crops and good prices are go ing to ipterest 9 new contingent of young men to try their hands in az ricultural pursuits. They will in crease the output. They are very apt to 'let; down" the price, although, of course, not for the current year. The supply and demand is bound to have something to do with the trade. It has done so in other lines of business activity. Why not in the case of farmers? Despite the rather pessi- mistic opinion of the Department of Agriculture, we imagine that series of record crops will have the effect of letting down" the prices to the consumer The statute of limitations does not run against the law of sup ply and demand.

A BOYS MOMENT OF FAME.
When Young Walter Scott Was Praised
 by Robert Burns.


 From, the time he was six Walter Scott read ravenously, and it was through his wide reading that when only fifteen he became for q few mo- ments the center of group of learned men, It was when the poet Burns wis ited Edinburgh and had shown great interest in picture of a soldier lying dead in the snow with dog keeping patient watch beside him.
 Beneath the picture were some be;l'l- tlful lines, but neither Burns nor any of those learned men knew their au- thor until young Walter Scott, who happened to be present. whispered that they were by Langhorne.
 Then Burns turned to him. with glowing eyes, and said, Ut is no com mon course of reading that has taught you this,' adding to his friends. This lad will be heard of yet"
 How proud the lad felt! How wist- fully joyful in the warmth of the great poets praise and then how suddenly forgotten when only |: few days later Robert Burns passed him ill the street without a glance! ScOtt's moment of fame had vanished-A riadne Gilbert in St. Nicholas.

STARVING BULGARS LOOK
 TO AMERICA FOR SUCCOR.
American Woman Teacher Here to Raise Funds For Needy Thousands.

Thousands of women and children in Bulgaria are facing starvation this winter, according to Miss Inez l.. Ab- bolt, missionary of the woman's board of the interior of the Congregational church and principal of the American girls boarding school in Samokov Bulgaria. Miss Abbott, who is a na- the United States to raise funds for the relief of 1000 destitute families in the Samokov district.
 With additional funds the relief com mittee of SamokOv hopes to develop general truck garden for the poor.
 The suffering and want in Bulgaria, Miss Abbott says, were much greater in 1913 than in 1912. She explained that the crops were gathered last year before the mobilization of the armies. With all the oxen. carts and men at the front with the armies, practically no crops were planted, and such as were cultivated could not be properly harvested because of lack of labor and facilities.
 "For months many Bulgarians have not known what it is to satisfy their hunger" said Miss Abbott. "In the cities and valleys around Samokov families are in direst need.
 'The queen of Bulgaria is deyoting all of her time and thought to relief work among her suffering people, Re gently she said to me. If relief funds not only for suffering. but for the or phans. should come from the United States would feel very grateful The Bulgarians do not fear any political entanglement such as they think may result when any European country ad- vances assistance for them"
 Miss Abbott through an appeal last winter, raised funds ill this country. with which she greatly assisted in the relief of the poverty stricken people of SamokOv. Much of the money was used to buy raw materials, with which the women made garments. Some of it was also used to prepare small farms around Samokov for cultivation and to buy the seeds for planting

DIAMETER OF THE EARTH.
Points at Which 1t Is the Greatest and
 the Least.

Points at Which It Is the Greatest and the Least.
 What is the greatest diameter of the earth? The form of the earth is that of flattened spheroid, greater in di- ameter at the equator than at the poles, but this is modified by the ac- cidents of its surface, so that the diameter varies according to the point at which it is measured.
 It might be expected that the diam- eter would be greatest if measured from the top of the highest mountain which is Mount Everest ill the Hima- inyas. but unfortunately the point at which the diameter would emerge on the other side of the world is in the Pacific ocean, where this is more than 7,0OO feet deep.
 Professor l.. IIrnkel of Schupferda is that taken from the summit of Mount Chimborazo, in Ecuador, 0,13G feet above the sea level. This, he says. emerges at the antipodes on a high point on the north coast of Sumatra. This diameter is 7,929.3 miles.
 As Chimborazo Is almost on the equa- tor, it's summit is that point on the earth's surface which is most distant from the center. There weight is fecblest and centrifugal force greatest.
 The earth's smallest radius is that from the center to the north pole. but it is not certain that the line through the poles is the smallest diameter. be- cause the south pole is on high pla teau It might be found that line a little distant from the poles, which would emerge at sea level at each end. would be even shorter than the polar diameter. Such line would be found from point in the Arctic ocean be tween Spitzbergen and Greenland to a point just off the coast of the Antarctic continent i'll the big bay overlooked by Mount Erebus, in about 175 to 1SO de- grees east and 75 to 80 degrees south.

Reduction From $1.50 to A Gents a
 Day on Travel by Rail.

Day on Travel by Rail.
 The navy department has found an other way to beat the high cost of living" and the trusts on both of which Secretary Daniels is waging war. so far as his department is affected.
 By adopting the system of feeding bluejackets in transit by rail out of the navy commissary instead of by con- tract with the Pullman company as heretofore the department has discov- cred that it can reduce the cost per day per man from $1.50 to A cents.
 When 15O recruits were transferred from the north Chicago training sta tion to Seattle recently the new plan was tried Food from the commissary at the Chicago station was put aboard and served in kitchen tourist cars fur nished by the Pullman company. Navy mess boys acted as walters. The plan worked splendidly and effected a sav- ing of several hundred dollars on the trip.
