composure and in their gracious and
hospitable way made everyone well
come. A delicious supper which had
been planned by the daughters and
a few of the folks behind the scenes,
was served during the evening and

American toy manufacturers, &C
cording to Consul General George e.
Anderson, stationed at Hong Kong,
China, seem to have an increasing
trade in the far eastern ports. Ger
man and Austrian toys, which have
long dominated the eastern markets,
are being shut out at present. with
the result that Japan and the United
States have the field very largely to
themselves. Japanese limitations Of
the cheap German and Austrian toys
are sold in considerable quantities,
though they are usually too cheap and
tlimsy to hold the market long. even
in such cheap goods. American toys
are expensive, and their sale is COM
paratively limited for that reason, but
they reach the fine trade. and for
the present, at least, are increasing
in popularity and in volume.

alton glimmering. The common and
normal schools and the university
will get, in all, s246,O92 more than
they did last year, by this simple pro-
cess. At any rate this increase will
not be grabbed this year for fore try
experiments.
In order TO give my readers the be-
nefit of real authority on the beau
ties of Wisconsin forestry, l turn.
with delight, as have often done be-
fore, to those choice volumes, "The
Wisconsin Idea" by Dr.. Charles Nc
Carthy, and Wisconsin an Expert
ment i'll Democracy" by Prof. Fred
erick G. Howe. The first of these
seers says: Conservation and educa-
tional developments must be consid-
cred together. The schools and the
university cooperate in this develop
ment and in the education and expe-
rimentation which lead to Gouad pub
lie opinion on these matters"
Prof. Howe gives us the broader
view, showing how we have tiled by
ignoring our constitution, to graft
autOcratic methods on to a free GO
vernment:
I'm forestry, as in many other
things, Wisconsin follows the lead of
Germany. Germany applies it's scien-
tific knowledge to forest culture as it
does to the army and navy. Europ-
can countries have followed the same
policy, which has been intelligently
adopted to an American state in Wis
conSin.'
Wisconsin is having a greater
awakening than she dreamed of. 1t is
fortunate that the supreme court has
furnished us indisputable evidence of
the utter breakdown and failure of
university cooperation" in state
affairs.
RAILROADS ALSO PAY MORE.
The Bureau of Railway Economics,
an institution maintained by the rail
roads of the country, has compiled
figures showing that the railroads of
this country pay constantly increas-
ing taxes. The increase during the
years 1905 and 1914, inclusive,
amounted TO 1869 per cent. The peo-
pie pay this tax, not the railroads
The Inter State Commerce Commits
sion, and every state commission has
to allow taxes TO be deducted as ex-
pense, before rates are considered
Railroads are compelled to assess this
constantly growing sum right back
upon the food, fuel and clothing OF
the people. They have no other means
OF paying it.

A SUBSTITUTE FoR FLOUR.


Jamaica's most important product is
the banana. However, since the war
began sales of this fruit have been
somewhat unsatisfactory. This led to
careful experiments that converted
the fruit into flour. In one case 537
pounds were so converted into 1873
pounds. 1t cost Sc cents per 100
pounds to make the -four The whole
sale price of the -four was put at four
cents a pound This is said to yield
a profit so fair that the making Of
banana -four may soon be a regular
enterprise In the flour and banana
world. Nine hundred and fifteen
pounds OF fruit on the stem gave in
flour value of $3.50, a return regard
ed IN Jamaica as rather good.
This banana meal, mixed with wheat
-four, is being used to make bread and
cakes by baker. Both the cakes and
the bread are liked ny the people, who
thus get larger and certainly a no
less nutritious loaf Housewives are
urged to try banana meal with wheat
-four A little experimenting will give
the maximum proportion of banana
meal that may be used for bread max
ing; from three parts of banana meal
to FIVE OF wheat flour up to half and
half are said to make a good loaf.
