You may possibly think The tariff

Allentown, Pa, Chronicle News that
will pay you 20 read. In 1913 Cana
dian farmers sold 10 buyers in the
United StTtes, cattle, horses, sheep,
etc. TO the value Of little more than
81 SOC, 900, but in 1914 they cut into
the market of the American farmer
to the extent of 81, ,OO0, 900. That
gain of Sc. 500, ,0OO was enough to
make quite a jingle in the pocket If
the Canada stock grower
In 1913 Canadian farmers sold in
American markets only l,75C, 600
worth of grain and flour, but in 1914
they were able to ship in enough Of
the same commodities TO take away
Sl2, 40O, 600 of good American money.
That is s9, $50 600 to gain of the Cana
dian. Wool imports from Canada
gained ST. 100, 600 in 1914 as compared
with 1913,

livestock, ,.grain, hides and wool. con-

rure yielded the Canadian producer

If you received copy of The Kan
sas baby bulletin, which is the
July number issued by the State
noticed the interesting fact that 35.-
3S2 babies were born in Kansas dur
ing the year 1913; also the further
and more regrettable fact that 1882
children under Two wears of age died
in the state during the years 1913 IA.
Practically, this is an average death
rate of one child in nine before the
age of two years. III some counties.
containing the larger cities, the rate
is more than one in six, or about IT
per cent. II is more pleasing TO note
that Trego is one of the nine coun-
ties in Kansas showing the lowest
death rate among children under two
years of age, being less than onein Is,
or less than 7 per cent.
A riresome tale: Ten big autocars,
standing in line; one went away and
then there were 9. Nine auto busses
for business wait; one got load and
then there were 8. Eight little jit-
neys for profit driven; one got fare
and that left 7. Seven fine cars as
ever you've seen, but one was out o.
gasoline, and one stuck in the mud
an awful fx-and after that there
were but 8. Six self-starters, more
dead than alive; one turned turtle
and then there were 5, and one blew
a tire with an awful roar, and of
course that left but a measley f. |
Four jays JOY riding; but one struck
a tree, and after that there were but
3, and one punctured tire on the
avenue and then, of course, there
were but 2, and the two had the luck
to meet, head-on, and out of the
wreck they saved not l.. And of all |
the cars that went abroad, only one
came back and that was Ford |
