ODD BITS OF NEWS

San Francisco, CAL "My,
how cutew was the expression of
a society girl who motored down
to see the "oldest tree, which
celebrated it's three thousand,
one hundred and fiftieth birth,
day recently. A family of five
could have picniced under the
tree when the Greeks were build
ing their wooden horse under the
walls of Troy, and Pharoah was
being engulfed in the Red Sea.
Coleman, Wis.-By the death
by lockjaw of Miss Emily Ermis,
18, John Ermis, her father, loses
the 18th member of his immedi-
ate family. Miss Ennis death
followed closely that of her 21-
year old brother, who was acci-
dentally shot. An older brother
was drowned two years ago. Mrs.
Ermis died recently, and sixteen
children have succumbed.
Charleston, w. Va.-The mys-
terry of the "Old Man of Kelly's
Creek" who is alleged to have
been one of the most successful
bootleggers in the State, is be-
lieved by federal officers to have
been solved by the arrest of
Louis Peters, % years old. 1t is
alleged Peters disguised himself
as an old man, wearing false
hair and a patriarchal set of
whiskers to sell his liquor. Other
wise he was a miner.
Monroe City, Mo.-Farmers
of this community are spending
their nights in the marshes
catching frogs by which Albert
Farquer hopes to be cured of a
cancerous growth which threat
ems his life. The breast of a liv-
ing frog is placed against the
sore, and absorbs the poisons.
Farquer is rapidly recovering,
The farmers hunt frogs with
sacks and electric torches, which
they flash into the eyes Of the
croakers and blind them.

SECRETARY REDFIELD ON
THE NATIONAL OUTLOOK

Hon. VIM. C. Redfeld, Secre-
tary of Commerce, says:
"There is a certain amount of
danger from the Midas touch.
About the last thing we can af-
ford now is to get the national
big head;;' to think that the
world is at our feet and that we
have it on the run with a down
hill shove. While we have every
reason for gratitude at our al
tered condition in the financial
world and may rejoice with So
berness of spirit in our financial
strength and in the fact that
others owe us, instead of our
owing them, we must not forget
that the machinery of modern
business operates like an insur-
ance company, to distribute loss
es, that it is inevitable the vast
losses of this war shall be in time
distributed and that we must
pay our share. To speculate,
therefore, as if the present hour
were all, as if our abounding
wealth were never to be subject
to strain, is to promote disaster.
Rather is it wise to remember
that we must pay, be thankful
that we have the means with
which to pay, conserve those
means so that when the day OF
reckoning shall come it may be
easy. If we are thus careful we
may take advantage of the fact
that while all nations, ourselves
included, must share in the loss
es, it is quite possible that in the
sharing those who share may
change places relatively one with
another. If, therefore, we shall
emerge with our share paid and
no added burdens of debt, and
perhaps an increased credit, We
may and, with care, we should
hold a position Of power and in
fiuence and opulence in the worlC
to which we have hitherto beer
strangers. st. Louis Republic

JAMES ]. HILL PRAISES NEW
BANKING SYSTEM
Democratic Measure Has Prov
ed Its Worth and is Now
Important Factor in the
Country's Prosperity

James ]. Hill, millionaire
and one Of the greatest railroad
men of the age, spoke recently
of the financial revolution which
has changed this country from
a debtor to creditor nation in
a single year, of the possibilities
both of gain and disaster which
such change involves, and then
said:
Fortunately, a banking sys-
tenn has been put into effect
which makes it possible for the
country TO handle its new inter-
ests without disturbance"
That new banking system is
the work of the Democratic par
ty and especially the work of
President Wilson. 1t was put
through in the teeth of the
fiercest opposition from Wall
street. 1t is standing every test
1t saved the country from utter
financial collapse a year ago last
August and now it is providing
the machinery for guarding anC
extending American commerce.
1t is working so smoothly that
the country almost forgets it is
there. But the next time any
partisan ranter begins blather
ing about the Wilson administra
tion being hostile to business"
remind him of the federal re
serve act and quote the words o.
James j. Hill.

TOO MUCH MONEY

Money is said to be so plentiful
in Kansas that the banks have
been placed in a quandary. A
State law prohibits any of them
from accepting deposits exceed
ing ten times it's capital and sur
plus. Many of the financial in
stitutions it seems, find that
their deposits are up to this linn
it. Most of them have added to
their surplus and capital with
the purpose of overcoming this
difficulty, but the tide of depos-
it's still rises, and they are in
constant danger Of coming into
conflict with the law.-(E

SUNFLOWER CROP UNUSU
ALLY LARGE

The harvesting of the sun
flower crop, which is beginning
to take it's place among the sta
pie products of the country, has
about been completed and the
yield has been unusually large.
At East Prarie 186,621 pounds
of seed had been received Mon
day. The bulk of the crop has
been sold for 1910 a hundred
pounds. 1t is certain that an in
creased acreage of sunflowers
will be found in Mississippi

NEPOTISM A MATTER FOR
LEGISLATIVE ACTION
A Constitutional Amendment
May Be Necessary to Le-
gaIize Anti-Nepotism.

An Anti-Nepotism bill was in
troduced in the City Council Of
st. Louis recently and was re-
ferred to the Committee on
Legislation. This Committee
made a favorable report there
on to the Board of Aldermen
last Saturday. The bill prohib-
it's the appointment by city Off
cials of relatives to office. The
final vote on the bill will be TAX
en- at to-day's meeting. 1t pro-
hibits the appointment of per-
sons who are related to the Of
flee holder to the sixth degree.
The penalty is fine of from
$100 to $500 and forfeiture Of
office.
Really, this sort of legislation
would appear on the surface to
be- "class legislation" If il
SHOULD prove to be such, Of
course, in the suit to test its
constitutionality it would be de.
clared void and conditions woulC
not be changed.
If nepotism is disapproved by
the people they have their re
course to abolish it through the
legislative bodies and, then, i
this action is not sufficient fol
the purpose, a Constitutions
Amendment may be approved.
To determine at what degree 0.
consanguinity and affinity nepo
tism may begin is a very unde
fined line, yet the finding of tht
consensus of opinion of the ma
iority Of the people is conceded
to be justice and hence right.

Chemical Adulterants.

VIII you please show why, if GER
tain chemicals aye unnecessary to the
preservation of food products as
claimed, some manufacturers contin-
ue to use them and explain that for
preservation purposes alone they are
used. u. b.
For an extensive discussion of ques-
tons pertaining to chemical preserva-
tives, we would refer you 10 recent
issues of the Ladies' World. In a
general way it may be said that the
manufacturers who make use of a
chemical drug in the preparation or
food product violate the rights of
the consumer. Pure. honest. nutri-
tious food has no need of debasinS
chemical drugs. No progressive man
ufacturer uses them.

DIV. Oil. Of Different Flavor.

Why is it that no two olive OILS
that | buy under different labels are
a1iLe IN taste? Miss II. H.
. There are many varieties of olive
oil, the quality varying according to
the species of olive tree and locality
in which it is grown. and as 10
whether the oil has been expressed or
extracted by solvents. The environ
ment also has a great deal to do with
the character of the olive oil and nee
essarily with the character of the oil.
The highest grade of oil is that which
runs out from the pulp with little or
no pressure. After the first pressure
the pomace is ground, treated with
water, and again subjected to pres
sure. In this manner several press
ings may be carried out. each yield
ing an oil inferior to that preceding.
