QUEEN ANNE's LACE.

The season has come when the roadsides, the meadows, the mowings and the pastures are covered with the beautiful and graceful weed, known
 to the artistically inclined as Queen Anne's Lace. but to the practical farmer by the plebian name of wild carrot" It is out-lawed in Connecti- cut, but endured in most of the other states of the whole northern part of the country. Good farmers are asham- to let it be seen on their land, while poor farmers tolerate it as a seem- ingly necessary evil. Once started in
 the field, it gets worse and worse. until
 finally production of grass is practic-
 ally impossible.
 The Colonial ladies of two centuries ago cultivated this plant in their flower gardens. The plant found con- ditions in America suitable, escaped from cultivation and is now widely distributed with prospects of it's be- coming evenly more widely distributed in the future. The presence of wild carrots on farm shows poor farming. In combating the weed, it is well to remember that it requires two full years before making seed. Ordinarily, it does not even blossom during the first season. Some scattering plants may live three years. while the seed may remain in the soil almost indefi- nitely, lying in wait for the time when conditions are favorable for growth. If. however, the moving is clipped very shortly before the seed has fallen. the damage will be greatly lessened.

GETTING ON THE BANDwAGos

The above phrase has become classic in our politics. It represents a cer- tain type of mind that cares little about the merits of campaigns. It is anxious merely to get on the win- ming side. Politicians have always made it a great point to capture this wavering clement They issue absurd and inn possible claims of big majorities that they expect to get. Also they make. tremendous and disproportionats effort to carry local contests occurring in September. for the effect these may have on the November voting. For many years speakers and money have been poured into a few states. mo- tably Maine, that still have or former ly had state elections in advance of the presidential contest.
 This tendency is not distinctively characteristic of the American voter. Tn England the "bye-elections" are looked to for the same psychological result Carrying a few districts in ad- vance of the general contest has a similar tendency. It attracts doubt full voters to the side that seems to be winning.
 The great majority of American cit
 
 izens of course are not swayed by the mere desire to be on the winning side. They have positive convictions and are not afraid to state them. They do not try to conceal the fact the day after election that they were fin the minority.
 The voters who sway toward the side that seems for the moment to be winning add nothing to the intelli- gence of the verdict, and are a burden on our civic life. A successful politi- cal party cannot be built up out of such clements. Perhaps the politi- clans exaggerate the number of men affected by this frivolous considera- ton. Very likely they have always spent too much money and energy in the. futile attempt to make a showins on local contests fought out at Sep tember elections.

MARY PICKFORD HAS
 HER OWN FILM co.

Mary Pickford has at last gone into business for herself. The Famous Players Film company admitted last night that the little film star was no , longer connected with it and had in fact organized her own company to be known as the Mary Pickofrd Film Corporation.
 There have been rumors of this for many months in theatrical circles, but the reports have generally connected Miss Pickford with one of the many large mergers between the big nov ing picture companies.
 When Miss Pickford was asked last night about the matter she confirmed the announcement regarding her own company said that she had already started work on a picture play in her ''very own studio'' in West Fifty-sec- ond street.
 Its been my little dream for long time to manage personally my own pictures" she said. ''I think have learned good deal about pictures in my work before the camera. and that | is just why want to use this knowl- edge to the best advantage in guiding my own company which will now pro- duce all of the plays in which I am to appear"
 Miss Pickford's contract with the Famous Players expired last March, at which time there arose many ru- mors that she had decided to leave the company. Shec ontinued with the firm, however, uptil she had finish ed the picture "Hulda from Holland. :" recently shown, and then she took a vacation.
 Under the new arrangement, Miss Pickford will not receive a salary, but will share in the profits made by the pictures in which she will act. Most of the capital supplied the new con- cern has been furnished by the actress herself, and she expects to receive a larger income from the enterprise than she ever did with the Famous Players Company, large as her salary there was.
 It is announced that the output of the Mary Pickford Film Corporation will be released independently and will be part of no general program. Engagements will be booked direct with exhibitors. Offices of the com pany have just been opened at 729 Seventh avenue.

Colt, son of Sam uel Pomeroy Colt, the Providence rubber magnate, lawyer and politi- clan.

Can Be Affected

Neither war with Mexico. should Il
come, nor the November elections, no
matter what the result may be, are
expected to have any effect on the
raw sugar market, according to cable
advices received from New York and
Washington.
A wellknown local brokerage house
this week cabled to sources in New
York and Washington that are in
close touch with financial, business
and political affairs of the country for
advice on the probable effect of war
between this country and Mexico and
possible effects of the November elec.
tions on sugar prices. The cables re
ceived were in reply to these queries.
The coming elections should not
have any effect whatever on the sugar
market nor should the Mexican situa-
tion, whether it develops war or
peace, is the burden of the reply re.

more important and the question OF
demand and supply is controlling the
market and consequent prices. At the
present time the market is somewhat
affected by falling off in the demand
for refined sugar. Even SO, the cable
