One Of the Effects Of the Five Per

Underwood Tariff

the Supreme Court upholds the de-
cision recently handed down by the
Customs Court suspending the so
called per cent clause of the I'M
derwood Simmons Tariff law, grant
ing a reduction of duties to that
amount on goods imported in Ameri.
can bottoms. This is the clause
which the Attorney General held was
in conflict with certain treaties of

holds that the clause is valid, and
that the per cent rebate mist be
granted on all goods imported IN
ships of countries with which the
United States has favored nar,nn'
treaties. As such treaties exist with
the principal countries of the world
the effect of the decision practically
is to reduce the amount collected
through customs by s per cent.

The Oldest Seauoia.

The oldest sequoia is over 3,1J0 years of age. A family of five could have picnicked under this tree when tho Greeks were building their wooden horse under the walls of Troy and Pharaoh and his army were being en- gulfed i'll the waters of the Red sea. It has been the contemporary of every fa- nous man and event since the foggy dawn of history. While innumerabla multitudes of men and women fretted their way through the dreadfully in- portant wink or two of time that they called life this tree contented itself with getting a little thicker in the trunk and wreathing its top i'll more majestic foliage. Nowadays people who have made their piles. possibly in the lumber business. often motor down to look at it. and their wives gaze up among it's awful branches and say, My, how Francisco Bulletin.

l<ina Strands Rico and Fail.

A kingdom was once set up on Bea- yer island. in northern Lake Michigan, and nourisheI for some years. James Jesse Strang. Il prominent Mormon, had quarreled with the leaders of his church and in 1s4G withdrew with q few followers to that island. Other Mormons joined the colcny from time to time. and by the winter of 1918 they were sufficiently numerous to threaten control of the island. On July s, 1850, Strang was crowned king with elabo- rate ceremonies. There was much con- troversy between the MormUns and the other inhabitants of the island, mostly fishermen. While on visit to Detroit President Fillmore heard of this little kingdom within the domain If the United States. He sent an armed vessel to Beaver island. and King Strang was captured and tried for trea- son. He conducted his own defense and made such m eloquent pica that he was acquitted. In 1SJG he was as- sassinated, and his kingdom fell with him.

If. when it Is mature. leaf be broken off cleunly ut the point where its stem joins the branch, 1t will be discovered that the base Of the stem is the exact shape of horses hoof, and if one looks further one will see plainly marked upon the "hoof" the nail marks of the horses shoe. The similitude of hoof and nails is at least remarkable. It might be supposed. in reference to the name of this tree, that horses were fond of the fruit, but one believes that this is not the case, nor does any other creature, except perhaps the rat or mouse. attempt to eat this natural and abundant product.

The Child at the Window.

Oftener than not we may tell a child's sex from the time the child spends at the window on rainy day. Whatever the years make Il woman, she is born domesticated. The little girl looks out of the window chiefly because something is happening out side, not because she wishes something would happen. and returns contentedly to her indoor interests. But, however the years thin Il mans blood, he is born an open air adventurer. The little boy tires of carpet play and remains gaz- ing at the rain and gray skies, weary ing for the sun to shine.-J.

CLUB GOLFERS
NOW HOPING FOR RAIN
Hard, Dry Course Causes Ball
To Take Unexpected and
Weird Bounds

The golfers, who have been so ear
Destly hoping for rain, have not yet
had their HOPES realized and the links
are stil as hard and parched as ever
While on ground Of this kind a ball
will travel farthest, the benefit of tao
added distance is neutrallzed by the in
accuracy Of direction. 1t certainly is
exasperating to the golfer to see a
fine long shot travelling straight to-
wards the hole, strike the ground and
bound at right angles to its desired
line OF flight, perhaps on another
bounce to make another and still great
er change in direction. With the links
so hard and dry t1is is what often Oc-
eurs However, Oppicking time, as
well as the state fair, will soon be here,
and Jupiter Pnvius will be in evidence,
that is, if he acts according to his Gus
tom.
Another player equalled the club rec
ord for the coarse, r. c. Bishop doing
the Is holes in lO4. A few of the mem.
bers have done it in this number Of
strokes, and are making determined eff
forts TO come under the century mark.
Doubtless during the next few days
quite a few strokes will be capped off
the record.
Playing with the Brothers Hutcheon,
Eddy, the local professional, made the
fifth hole in two, his tee shot almost
sinking in the cup.
The old building has been repaired
and Mr.. Eddy expects TO move in very
soon. He states that the ladies may
have the use of one of the rooms.
On account of the incmvenient sched.
ule of the trains, those not enjoying the
luxury of an automobile are somewhat
at a disadvantage in getting to the
links. Possibly "jitney" may be
found to make the trip leaving from a
specified place at convenient time.
Those who have conscientious scrup-
les against Sunday playing, or who may
not nave seen the game played, should
go to FINER Monday. when doubtless
