HERES THE ONE BEST
BET.

SODUS, y. y. -- Capitalists of
this county have received a new
impulse along the lines of quick
finance promising extraordinarily
large profits to the investors. The
proposition as submitted to them
has for its purpose the establish
ment of a company which would
engage in the raising of cats and
rats. The promoter explains that
a large cat ranch, supporting one
hundred thousand cats, could cas-
lily be started near Wayne Center,
where some of the waste land
could be bought cheaply.
His proposition cites that each
The skins will sell for from 10
cents for a white one to rs cents
for pure black.
I'VE will have" he says, about
100000 skins each year to sell
az Oh q Cl uSC VI op NClitc dplCtCt
making our revenue average about
$1,000 day gross.
"A man can skin so cats a day.
He will charge 50 a day for his
labor 1t will take about 100 men
to operate the ranch; therefore,
the profit will be about $500
day.
1--WE will feed the cats on rats
and start a rat ranch adjoining
the cat ranch The rats will null
tiply four times as fast as the cats
and if we start with 100000 rats
we will have four rats a day for
each cat, which is plenty. We
will feed the cats on rats and in
turn will feed the rats on the
stripped carcasses of the cats. thus
giving each rat one-fourth of a
cat. 1t will be seen by these fig
ures that the business will be self
acting and automatic. The cats
will eat the rats, and the rats will
eat the cats and we will get the

1914 CROPS LARGEST
Eclipsed All Records - More Than
Twice Those of 1890.

American farms during 1914
eclipsed all records for combined
value of their products, with total
Of almost $40, 700, according
to Secretary Houston of the depart
ment of agriculture, who this week
announced that the value of all farm
crops, farm animal products and farm
animals sold and slaughtered aggre-
gated $9,827, 5000. That was
$83,0O0,000 more than the grand
total for 1913, the previous record
year, and more than double the value
of all farm products in 1899.
Crops this year were valued at
Sc, 100000 and the estimated
total value of animal products and
of farm animals sold and slaughtered
was 1000. The value of
crop production this year was slightly
less than in 1913 on account of the
reduced value of the cotton crop,
brought about principally from the
European war. The corn and wheat
crops, however, were the most val
liable ever produced in the United
States, bringing the years crop value
total to only $SS,279,OOO less than
the total for last year, despite the
loss of more than $300,000,000 in
the cotton crop.

QUITE AN ADMISSION.

England like Germany frankly ad.
mits in her various notes to America
that the submarines, airships and
other new weapons of war have al
tered conditions and tend in part to
abrogate established rules of inter.
national law.
The British urge these changes in
eXtenuation of their unprecedented
interference with neutral commerce.
Germany pleads the same defense in
the matter of submarine warfare.
But the vital point should not be
overlooked that England offended
against %internationl laws first. 1t
is now apparent that the ADMINISTERS
ton must consider these two mat.
tiers jointly if they are to be settled
fairly to both nations.
England has violated the freedom
of the sea as we'll as Germany. The
Teutons offer some sort of a modus
vivendi, but England's reply to our
note is a flat refusal to alter hel
Order-in Council.
r The administration should move
slowly and not make fish Of one and
flesh Of the other. e.

A CORPSE.

Victor Murdoch, National Progress
sive committeeman from the Sun.
flower state, sees victory for the Bull
Moose party in 1916. After a three
months personal canvass, he has con.
cluded that there are enough Pro
gressives left to hold a convention
and place a ticket in the field.
There is queer logic in his state.
ment given out at Mount Pleasant,
Iowa. Blaming the Democratic tariff
for failing to solve the economic
problems. he insists in the next
breath that privilege is fattening on
an era of gross materialism.'
The %fattening process is hardly Wis.
ible to most travellers. They report
universally a leanness of income.
Even privilege has been put on short
rations since the Democrats manned
the ship Of state. ,
But the sunny optimism of Kansas
springs eternal. E
Mr., Murdoch presumes too much
when he believes that anyone remem
bers the platform adopted in Chicago
during the memorable year Of 1912,
Political announcements are more
evanescent than dreams. Kansas
may cling to them more tenaciously
than other states and probably we do
Mr.. Murdoch an injustice.
But it will take more than the for
i'd style of the i%nsurgent editor of
Wichita to revive the Progressive
party. There is not enough life left
in the Full Moose platform to make
a noisy campaign slogan.
Better let it stay among the cedar
shavings and moth balls.
