II was In the days before Farmer

But since Farmer Browns Boy

The Pipe Industry.

RRIER pipes are Of all prices.
~ from the cheapest imitation to
the gilt and gold affairs. Experts aver
that the best briers are imported from
London and Dublin.
There are two considerations that
have gone to discourage the meer-
schaum pipe industry. If one lets fall
meerschaum pipe il is likely to break
into many pieces. and there is often
difficulty in colorng the pipe properly.
Many sorts of new woods and other
materials deemed suitable for the MAX
ing of pipes are constantly appearing
and disappearing with the changing
fashions. Corncob and clay pipes still
hold their own. The corncob is the
characteristic American pipe. Whole
acres in Ohio. Illinois. Missouri aud
Nebraska are devoted to raising corn
for the special purpose of producing
cobs suitable for pipe bowls. The gram
itself is marketed. of course, hut the
cob on which it grows is the real har-
vest This is cut carefully into proper
lengths. smoothed and polished, tie

specially constructed machinery. Tho
coFncob pipe is exported to every coui-
try in the world where men smoke. "
is especially in favor in Australia ana
New Zealand, where 1t is regarded as
enthusiastically American
The clay pipe also has become noted
national product of our country. The
largest clay pipe factory in the world
is situated in Appomattox county, Va.
More than fifty years ago it was known
that the clay found in that vicinity
was particularly adapted to the manu-
facture of tobacco pipes. The nrst that
were sent north found ready sale.
and then a northern capitalist who was
a confirmed pipe smoker discovered
that the clay pipes from Virginia were
better than those from any other sec
fion. He traced a shipment and found
that it preceded them from the clay
beds of Appomattox county. He pur-
chased these deposits and put up. big
factory, which has been increasing in
size ever since.

u Boston financier, was condemning
German war finance.
THE German exchange rate has fal-

finance is unsound. Germany borrows
money, puts it out in circulation again.
and then reborrows it. Well, that kind
of finance reminds me of Smith.
Smith said to his old aunt one day.
".Auntie. can you lend me s50?'
"'No. John; I've only got SIS in the
house
THAT will do. then. auntie.' said
Smith. kindly. and you can owe me
the other $25.'
We'll a few weeks later the old lady
asked Smith if he could let her have
