The basis of most of the chewing
gum manufactured in this country is
chicle, a gum produced in tropical
countries. and especially in Mexico,
where there are vast chicle forests.
The privilege Of working these forests
is greatly in demand, and it appears
that this privilege was one for which
business men were willing to pay good
prices, and to aid in the political prop
uganda of the faction which would
give the best terms.

men, capitalists and steamship repre-
sentatives, all of whom he has found
warmly in favor of his idea. Besides
President Bordas, prominent Domini-
cans who have welcomed the plan are
Senior Francisco ]. Peynado, formerly
minister Of his country at Washington,
and Don Emiliano Tejera, ex-minis-
ter Of foreign relations, for many
years one of the leading men of his
land, and an authority on Columbus.
Dominican newspapers have reviewed
the plan in a friendly spirit.
from the conversations which I
have had with lei Of Importance
both in the United States and Ia SAN
to Domingo said Mr.. Pulliam, II am
convinced that widespread popular en-
thusiasm. both in this country and in
Latin America, will greet the plan for
honoring the man who gave to us Of
the Western Hemisphere the lands
which are now u homes. I believe
that IL maximum subscription were
kept at a very low figure, a 80 cents
the money needed would be raised in
q surprisingly short time. II seems a
reproach to US citizens Of the New
World that there Is no memorial trulv
worthy Of go commanding a world
figure as Columbus.D

the many authorities, Mr.. Pulliam be-
came convinced that those numerous
experts are correct who hold that the
remains are in Santo Domingo.
Dominican President Interested.
Mr.. Pulliam laid his plan before
President Jose Bordas, n the Do
minican chief executive in reply ex-
pressed keen interest.
Mr. Pulliam also wrote fully Q
the project to John Barrett, director
general of the Pan-American union
at Washington. Mr.. Barrett has not
officially gone on record as to his
views, but In reply to Mr.. Pulliam did
express his personal interest. In an
address delivered by Mr.. Barrett in
1912 in Washington before the
Knights Of Columbus he emphasized
the necessity Of q proper memorial to
the ~discoverer OF the western hemis-
phere.
There Is to be a Pan-American con-
ference at Santiago. Chile, this fall
and there is d possibility that Mr..
Pulliam's plan may be introduced.
Former Pan-American conferences
have considered In general the idea
OF erecting some form Of q memorial
to Columbus.

Man Tells of Thrilling Experience IL
the Land of the Big Winds.
Century

Ma leuS OF InI1AunS experience HI
the Land Of the Big Winds.
Century,
It was my good or i'll fortune to be
an eyewitness of one of the devas-
tating tornadoes that often sweep the
American soil. About $3.50 on the
afternoon of April 81. 1899. I left my
house at Kirkville, Mo-, to. post some
letters. The day had been rather re-
markable, alternating between suffo-
eating heat and chilliness of early
spring. Dense dark clouds occasion
ally rolled across the saffron sky and
showers of rain alternated with bursts
of sunshine, while the winds had been
| capricious, at times. blowing in gusts
and gales, to be followed by a dead
calm. 1t needed no barometer to In
dictate an impending atmospheric dis
~turbance, for every n could feel 1t.
At the time I started from my house
a gentle shower was falling and I took
my umbrella with me. AS 1 stepped
from the west doc of the veranda q
continuous roaring to the southwark
burst on my ears, and my house, be-
ing on high ground, I had an excellent
view in hat direction.
In the southwest, at the extreme
limit of my vision, hung a lowering
dark cloud, from which occasional
peals of thunder issued. Just below
the cloud, seeming to rest upon the
earth, was q whirling monster of dust,
vapor and smoke, coming apparently
toward me with an incessant and
steadily increasing roar. The first
appearance was that Of a huge loco
motive emitting black smoke and
steam and coming at a tremendous
speed. The tornado seemed suddenly
to tear itself loose from the black
storm cloud and to advance at an in
creasing speed, rotating from right to
left.
I quickly entered the house, calling
to my wife and children to fly fol-
their lives. My youngest daughter,
aged 16, had gone to the second story
to secure some windows, and, evident
ly alarmed al my call, was for a mo
ment d~umbfounded with fear. Bound
ing up the stairway, I me her coming
down, and my wife took her and our

Grain Shipper" published by the grain
commission firm of Winter-Truesdell-
Ames company, of Minneapolis and
Duluth, is a story of a cooperative
farming community of ten farmers,
who own altogether 2,460 acres Of
land, and who operate it as a joint
stock company, all the land. stock,
machinery, etc, which the members
owned separately having been turned
w to the company in exchange for
shares Of stock One set Of farm
buildings provide shelter for stock.
produce inc equipment. and these,
with everything pertaining to the
operation OF the farm, are the prop
erty of the corporation. The resi-
dences, however, in which the families
live, and private property, grouped in
q little village, and each member
builds his own home to suit his own
taste. Buying is lone in bulk, and a
material saving is hus affected, INC
because Of the sound financial stand
ing of the concern money can be Dor
rowed at a much lower rate Of inter-
est than the members as individuals
could command. A central plant pro-
vides power for pumping, grinding,
electric lighting, etc. Each member
is expected to put in daily ten full
hours of work or supply a man to take
his Mace. Absences are charged for
at the rate of is cents per hour, and
Ok conto nor hoI,r IN aruocf tipoa TLa
article paints a pleasant picture of the
advantages Of this method Of farming
and of the superiority Of the plan over
that of individual operation, and
closes with the statement that the
story is not true, and the inquiry why
1t should not be.
One trouble with the plan, as we see
1t, is that it would be practically i'm
possible to have any considerable num-
Der of men work together under such
an arrangement without constant fric-
ton. Two men. If they are congenial,
can work together in a partnership
and get along very we'll. Three men
sometimes do it . But. with eight or
ten or more men, joint Of a
business, and all required to put in
a full working day on the job, there
would be constant dissatisfaction on
the part Of some Of the members.
1t is tru that farmers do combine
for the facilitation Of work, as al
threshing time, in road making, and
for other purposes, and often the ar.
rangement works well. But such ar
rangements are for special occasions
and last but for a short time. A per.
manent arrangement, with a mans en-.
tire property invested in the bushes.
for an unlimited time, would be a diff.
ferent thing.
That system of cooperation will
doubtless work best which leaves thu
individual Independent so far as hi
personal activities are concerned, ant
in which numbers a combine To-
those activities which can be handled
by a single head, with employees chos
en- wherever and however he can flint
them best, regardless Of membershi,
in the corporation. Marketing asso
Citations can be so handled, and man,
OF them work well. There may b,
corporation in purchasing, in borrow
ing, and in a number of things, bu

farmers who must spend their ow1
time in the cultivation OF the field
and the performance Of other detail
OF farm work, does not appear prom
