LONG DISPUTE OVER
TIRE PATENT

Hartford, Conn, Oct. 1.-Attorneys
for the Metallic Rubber Tire Co., of
Ohio, have been allowed until Octob-
,er 10 to file exceptions to the decision
of master awarding only nominal
damages in a patent suit which the
Ohio concern brought against the
Hartford Rubber Works Co. The case
has been in the federal courts for over
seven years, and u Involves the use
of wire interviewer into the tread of
tires and the patent covering this fea'
ture The complaint was brought
March 5, 1908, in the United States
Court. 1t came to trial before the
late Judge James P. Plat, who held
that the Hartford tire did not infringe
On appeal the decision was reversed
and the United States Circuit Court
of Appeals held that the patent was
infringed. Charles K. Pickett as spe
cial master has filed report granting
only nominal damages, which are to
be fixed by the court. The Ohio tire
concern claimed to be entitled to $2O6,

INDIAN POPULATION
CENSUS BUREAU, HOWEVER
SEES TENDENCY OF FULL
BLooDS TO DISAPPEAR.

Washington, d. c., Oct. Although
the Bureau of the Census, in report
made public today, sees tendency
of the full-blooded Indian to disappear
altogether, the figures which the re-
port contains show that as matter
of fact the number of Indians, full
blooded and mixed, is increasing.

the buffalo he used to hunt For a
race which has long been depicted
as journeying toward the setting sun
with all hope lost the red man may
fairly be said to be doing well.
Today's figures show that the In
dian population Of the United States,
exclusive of Alaska and insular pos,
sessions, in 1910 was 265,6S3, repre-
senting an increase of 17,430, or Z per
cent, over the number reported in
1890, when the Census Bureau made
its first enumeration of the Indians

| The data show a much lower rate
of growth for the Indian population
than for the white; an increasing ad
mixture of white blood; decreasing vi
tality of full-blooded Indians, which
the Bureau says indicates a tendenc,
to disappear altogether, increasing at
tendance at school and decreasing il
literacy; an increase in the percent
age of the self-supporting, and a de
crease in the number of reservation
Indians.
In the sense that the Indian seem
to be undergoing process of grad
ual absorption into the white race
the red man, as shown by these fie
ures, is disappearing. In the sens
that the total of Indians, full-bloode'
and mixed, shows an increased popu
lation since 1890, the disappearance

DIP THE TICK" IS
DEPARTMENTS SLOGAN
ADVICE is GIVEN TO SOUTHERN
CATTLE OWNERS BY FED
ERAL EXPERTS.

washington, D.. c., Oct. 1-"Dip the
Tick" is the slogan which the Depart
ment of Agriculture has adopted for
special campaign against the cattle
tick in the South. Blazoned in big
letters this legend will stand out in
startling relief upon two-color post
er which the department proposes to
display in every postoffice in the tick
infested county. 1t is intended to
make this catch phrase as familiar
and as effective in the South as the
now famous slogan swat the Fly"
This poster is one of several novel
features which the department is to
employ to push it's work for the eradi-
cation of the pest that costs the South
$50,000,000 year. Various circulars
and diagrams, are being prepared to
drive home to the farmer the damage
the tick is doing and to preach the
doctrine of the arsenical dip. Some
of these are printed in two colors and
all of them have more in common with
the attractive circulars used by the
wide awake commercial firms in push
ing their goods than with the quiet
and often austere bulletins that ordi-
narily come from the government
press.
Commenting upon this new depart
ture in the tick campaign, Assistant
Secretary Carl Vrooman says 1t is
merely an endeavor to accomplish by
special effort what would take g
long while to accomplish through the
regular channels of department publ
cation:
THE cotton crisis and the high
price of meat" he says have made it
of vital Importance that we push to
the utmost our endeavors to foster di-
versification of crops in the South.
Since diversification hangs on cattle
and cattle upon tick eradication, we
have been constrained to make this
special effort to popularize the anti
tick campaign. We are going to post
throughout the tick region large two
color poster, or one sheet, which will
tell the people crisply and simply
and with plenty Of pictures, Just what
the tick is doing, how they can get
rid of him, and what will be, the money
advantages to the individual farmer
and his neighborhood.
1--WE are going to drive home the
fact that ticks take as much as zoe
pounds of blood year from a 1000
pound steer; that in the case Of 6
COW that ought to be giving quarts
of milk a day, ticks will cut the mill
yield down as much as 1-S quarts ;
day. We are going to drive home thu
fact that ticks reduce the home price
of meat animals from IL to / pc
cent a pound, that they prevent thu
introduction OF high grade beef ami
mails and of dairy strains that in
crease the milk and butter fat yield

ST. LOUIS
ELECTRIC MONOPOLY

JEFFERSON Clty, MO, OCI. L. nc
accountants and engineers who have
been making a valuation of the prop
erty of the Union Electric Light and
Power Co., of st. Louis, have present
ed their report to the Public Service
Commission. This valuation will be
used by the commission in determin-
ing what would be fair rates for the
company to charge it's patrons. The
company itself has also filed an inven-
tory and appraisal for comparative
purposes. The states valuation will
show the original cost of the COM
pany's plant and its present value. En-
gineering costs, the cost of developing
business, and other factors will be
taken into consideration in determin-
ing the rate.
The company is at present charging
10 cents a kilowat hour for the first
four hours and 6 cents for succeeding
hours. The rate for large consumers
! is $40 per month for minimum Of
| 100 kilowat hours and cents kilo-
twat hour for excess. 1t is alleged
that some customers receive electric
| ity at / cent per kilowat hour. The
company serves 56,67S customers, and
the cost of producing the current sold
last year was s62S,227.S9. The total
operating expenses were $1,41S,733
last year and the total revenues were
1881 1893.
Charges of collision between the
Union Electric and two intermediary
companies distributing current gen.
Grated at Keokuk for the purpose OF
holding up the prices of current in st.
Louis and putting large profits into
the pockets of the promoters and
stockholders, were made in petition
to the commission. The intermedi.
aries mentioned are the Mississippi
River Power Distributing Co. and the
Electric Company Of Missouri. The
petition states that the terms and con
ditions Of the contracts for Keokuk
current "were collusively manipulated
and entered into between the com
panies as a device and pretext where
by the great benefit in the price OF
electric current that results from the
government dam and water power
generated should be diverted from the
beneficiaries including the citizens Of
st. Louis and customers of the de
PENDANT for period of ninety-nine
years, and instead thereof were ant
are so manipulated as to defeat thu
INTENDED object thereof, and to enricl
a few promoters and stockholders o
said company, leaving the price o
electricity unaffected thereby"
The Union Electric has denied tina
its rates for residences are excessive
" high, that they are discrimination.
or that there is any collision between
it and distributing companies to main
tain high prices.

SOME OLD-FASHION-
ED FLOWERS
They Were the Glory of the Colonial
Gardens.

The less formal part Of garden often
proves the stumbling block to the puz-
2led but ambitious outdoor enthusiast
when, as Il matter Of fact, there is no
form of planting quite so fascinating or
so simple. or which offers more brilliant
effects than the irregular masses of old
fashioned blossoms. The hardy peren-
malls are little trouble to grow, and If
kept free from weeds. and the super
fluous shoots are removed in early sum
mer. they never fail to produce a Won
derfully fine display of color The
ground should h" properly prepared by
deep digging and good manuring. and
the next very important point is to he
careful in making choice of the flow
ers. For due regard must he paid to
form and color, as huge mass of in
termngling shades Is never attractive
and spols the general effect. Two or
three different kinds OF flowers. at tho
most should be planted together In one
bed, the darker colored ones being placed
at the back so as to give a pleasing con-
trast one to the other For instance, a
bed thinly planted to the ''GrIss an Top
litz'' rose. with the vacant places filled
in with the blue Delphinilm, makes a
charming combination; the rich hue of
the roses and lovely tint Of their leaves.
combining eXquisitely with the vivid
blue OF the stately Delphnium. For a
low border Wallflowers and Forget me
nots make another very effective bed. or
a bed Of German Iris and Foxgloves, the
Foxgloves being planted in the back
ground to give the proper balance.
MASS BOLDLY WITH AN EYE TO
COLOR.
But it is generally conceded that for
this sort of planting masses of one kind
of blooms are far more artistic and add
much more to the general result than a
bed of mixed flowers. Take the Japa-
nese Anemones for example, which when
planted in bold masses especially tho
Queen Charlotte Variety. with their
rose colored flowers, make a wonderful
showig; as do also the Artemsia lac
tflora, with white blooms, growing to
a height OF four feet and Furnishing es-
pecially in the autumn. The Dropmore
variety Of the Anchusa is also excellent
for masslng it has deep sky-blue flow
ers which grow I'm the greatest profusion
almost all summer long, and are always
greatly admired. There is the opal va
riety of this same flower. which is also
charming, ana oOth these may be raised
from seed sown In the garden during
May, and can be increased for the next
year by taking up the roots In the au-
tumn and cutting them into pieces sew
eral inches long and keeping them In a
frame during the winter months, The
Perennial Aster is an ideal plant for
inassing, Of which there are innumerable
and most lovely varieties, but for the
purpose OF which We are treating, per-
haps the Climax, with its large blue flow
ers and bright golden centres, is the most
worthy to include In our list. Indeed
there are so many hardy flowers, such
, as the phlox, paeonles, Oriental poppies
snap-dragons, etc, that 1t is surprising
they are not oftener seen in the average
garden when the varied and charming
effect they lend to any view is taken
into account
