Even under normal circumstances,
however, these importations have not
been in sufficient quantities to exer-
else great influence in the CONNER
cial market and the war has made
them still more insignificant. Nothing
at all, for instance, is coming in from
German East Africa. A certain
amount of fibre, suitable for binder
Irvine, is also grown in New Zealand
but this, again, cannot exert any APP
preciable influence on the American
situation.
Fibres from bear grass, Spanish
bayonet, lechuguilla and other plants
of the arid southwest are being sug-

il is obvious that if serious shortage
in the supply of Irvine should result
in making the self-binding harvesters
practically useless the crop could not
be gathered with sufficient rapidity to
avoid the spelling of large proper
ton of it. Once before, in 1912, such
Charlevoix county herald., 1915-05-01

a shortage was threatened, for the
drops proved to be much more abound
INT than had been anticipated and the
demand for the Irvine was therefore
greater than the manufacturers had
prepared for. Prices rose sharply but
there was sufficient time to bring in
additional supplies from Yucatan. On
this occasion one of the large cordage
manufacturing companies ran special
trains loaded with binder Irvine ex-
press speed from New England to the
northwest without increasing its
prices to wholesalers.
Had the United States permitted
the port of Progreso to be blockaded
for any considerable length of time,
however, the shortage this year could
not have been remedied in any such
way and the result would not have
been a mere increase in price, but AN
absolute dearth of Irvine and the con-
sequent loss of a large part of the
crops. The Secretary of Agriculture
and the Secretary of Commerce
therefore, called the attention of the
President to the possibility of this cal
amity and representations on the part
of the American government have
succeeded in keeping open little
port that plays such vital, if OBJ

companies has exceeded by

died in previous years. In
New York as many as
$4,000 boxes Of grape fruit
were sold in a single day
at auction; and the sales at
other auction centers were
heavy compared with pre-
vious years. Heretofore,
grape fruit has been consid-
cred a luxury for the rich.
Cutler B. Downer, manager of H.
Harris 6 Company, auctioneers of Bos-
ton, said: "People heretofore have
considered grapefruit luxury, only
to be afforded by the wealthy. The
vast offerings on our markets, this
year, resulted in low prices for
time. But when the quality of the
fruit became better along in April and
the supplies were not so heavy the
enormous rate of consumption that
had been built up through the auction
became apparent in the prices paid

siderable period at over $500 box

CHANGED HIS THEORY
MEEK MAN GOT TIRED OF BEING
IMPOSED UPON.
Finally Decided There Was Nothing
In the Idea and Went Strongly on
the Other Tack-Waxed
Rich and Fat.
Secretary.

Once upon a time there was man
who had a wonderful disposition.
Nothing ruff1ed him. Mild-mannered
and gentle. he went about his business
regularly on k-days and attended
church regularly on Sundays. His
favorite beatitude was, blessed are
the meek, for they shall inherit the
earth" He was constantly hoping
that someone would strike him on
the cheek, SO that he could turn the
other one, and he always kept handy a
cloak, which, in obedience to the
Biblical Injunction, he could give also
to anybody who might take his coat.
It was his policy in political and
economic matters invariably to be
agreeable, generous, and self-effacing
When the politicians broke their
promises, he always supposed they
must have had good reason for so
doing. He believed that the trust
magnates were more interested in
the welfare of the country than In
their own profits, and whenever the
trusts raised prices he assumed that
the Door owners wouldn't have done
1t unless 1t was absolutely necessary.
Thus, until he was past middle age,
was his serenity undisturbed, and he
kept getting poorer all the time. Final
ly he was down and out altogether,
whereupon he went to the banker with
whom he had deposited all his life
and who happened to be also the
chief owner of the local street railway
company which was famous through
out the country for high rates and
poor service. When the man asked
the banker for temporary loan the
banker was very, very kind to the
man, and, with tears in his eyes, exa
planned that there was no one in adv
the world to whom he would rat ma
lend money than to the man, but thai
fact was that business was businedal
and finance was finance, and he dot
not consider the man a good risk, ber'
cause he was too easy-going.
The man went away and began no
brood over his situation. For the frst'
tine n his life he found himself fea
