That fact was brought out by the

Perkins plan is stupendously dishon-
est scheme and should never be
adopted.
U. S. Could Not Fix Prices.
Besides it would be impossible for
the government to fix prices in private
business. To illustrate how that
would work, take the steel trust as an
example. Under Mr.. Perkins plan
the companies engaged in the manu-
facture and sale of steel would go on
combining their interests. Magnitude
would be virtue. Then the govern
ment would step in and undertake to
fix the price of steel. Now let us sup.
pose that the government would fix
the price Of steel at the point where
the most efficient manufacturer could
sell at a fair profit, then the effect
the result would be to drive out all
others. On the other hand let us sup
pose that the government would raise
the price of steel to the point where
the least efficient manufacturer could
sell at fair profit, then the effect
would be to give an additional profit
to the bigger combine, or the steel
trust. Again suppose the govern
ment should fix the price Of steel at
some intermediate point between these
two extremes the effect would be to
drive out those who produce less
cheaply, and to give the ones who
produce more cheaply, or the steel
trust again, an additional profit equal
to- the difference. Clearly the Perk-
ms plan would not hurt the
trust very much, nor would it hurt Mr.
Perkins harvester trust to any great
extent. What is true of the steel
would be likewise true of many other
products.
Efficiency, and economy in produc-
ton, are claimed for this plan. But
there can be no assurance that the
fruits Of greater efficiency, or of econ
omy in production or in the distribu-
ton Of products, which is claimed
would result, would ever find their
way into the pockets of the consumer.

had no idea what brought it on, but

and worse. My back ached and the
misery was just as bad when I lay
down as when I was up moving
around Mornings I was so stiff and
lame when I first got up that it was
hard for me to bend over to get my
shoes on. first thought I had rheu-
matism, but when my back kept on
aching and my kidneys began to act
bad, I knew that my kidneys were
causing the suffering. I had to pass
the kidney secretiOns every little

stringy and unnatural. The doctor
said my kidneys were badly disor-

Corn SiIage Feeds Cows at Least

Corn silage is the cheapest green
feed that dairymen can use up to
the time the corn crop reaches the
milk stage, according to the annual
report of the director of the Agricul-
tural Experiment Station, University
Of Wisconsin, which has just been
published and will be mailed to any
resident of the state free Of charge.
The report is full of interesting
matter on this question.
For a number of years the ami
NAL husbandry and agricultural chem
istry departments have carried on
tests to determine the relative value
of corn silage and soiling crops as
summer feeds. AS regards milk and
butter fat production alone, the two
feeds proved of practically equal
value.
However," observes the report,
''silage can be produced at less ex-
pense than soiling crops, as it re-
QulIGS lc0S ldUOI W plUW, LII, e1Hu
plant a field of corn than to pre-
pare and plant, at different times,
an equal area of soiling crops.
Corn silage is uniform in quality
throughout the year and is well liked
by the COWS, proving more palatable
than the early soiling crops, such as
green clover or peas and oats. OW-
ing to the different climatic condi-
tons from season to season, it is,
moreover, difficult to provide sue
cession of soiling crops which will
furnish the Wisconsin farmer, with
out waste, an ample supply of green
food through the summer.
On farms where a sufficient num-
Der of COWS are kept, therefore, sill
age is the most economical green
feed for summer, up to the time
when the corn crop reaches the milk
Or roasting stage, when, if desired,
the green corn can be substituted for
silage.''

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
THE REAL KLEINE quo vADIs.
Big Production to BE Given at Princess
Theatre

Imitation is said to BE the sincerest
flattery. This is quite true. but cannot
always be appreciated by the public.
The George kleine production of the
tines photo-drama, Quo Eadis. achieved
remarkable success in New York,
Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, Balti-
more and dozen other cities and in
spired a number of INSCRIPTIONS par
ties with the idea Of launching Il much
smaller and Insignificant production on
the market and banking upon the pub
lie crednlity, TO take advantage of the
immense advertising Mr.. Kleine s pro-
duction has received. As a consequence,
many people who have wished to see
the big production have been unsus-
pectingly drawn into witness the little
ono and without thinking have passed
judgment. This is one of those unavoid-
able conditions that arise under our
present social mud legal status, and
works rs much harm to the public ~
large rs Il does TO the producers who
invest their fortunes ia big enterprises.
The real George hlelne production OF
Quo NadIs is presented with eight parts
or reels that are divided into three
acts. Il will be the attraction ait the
Princess theatre Monday and Tuesday
Of next week with matinees daily.

MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE
How American Came to Appreciate
Value of Membership in the
Legion Of Honor.

Peary's decoration with the cross
of the Legion of Honor provoked
remark that Frenchmen find il much
more difficult to obtain this distinc-
ton than do foreigners. Four thou
sand aliens are said to possess it.
The American who once had to be
content with his college or fraternity
pin now wears, or at least knows
some one who wears, a ribbon of
some sort emitting him to special
consideration in the old world.
The practical value of decoration
is illustrated by the experience of a
westerner who desired to "do" the
electric Lighthouse at La Heve, near
Havre. The crusty guard declined
to honor his permit, explaining that,
since it had been issued, orders had
been given to admit no visitors after
shutdown.
AS the American was turning
away, baffled, the guard suddenly
caught sight of red ribbon in his
buttOnhole. His manner changed
instantly. "Ah, monsieur is cheva-
lier of the Legion of Honor. That
makes all the difference !"-New
York Evening Post.
