Il WOULD be simpler to brand Bennie

But when one looks around and finds Ed

Kaufr is not yet finished ball player.
He has world to learn. He overswings at
bat and isn't the surest pegger In the
world He isn't nearly as good as his two
mates, George Burns and Dave Robertson
But this doesn't mean that he is a failure
There isn't harder worker in the game
and this will count in his favor once he be-
gins to gather in few tricks of the trade
that he hasn't yet acquired. His showing

Just at present you don't happen to see

We have been told he will get very little

winding up on July g..
Hundreds of trapshooting tournaments
are conducted in this country each year and,
like everything else. there are some that
stand out from the others. The Pinehurst
tournament is one Of these, so that when
comparison Is made with the North Caro-
lima event the tourney must be a good one.

nament, while the Pinehurst classic has
been running for nine years. Seven years
more on the Maplewood event and It will
be one Of the largest in the country.
There were so trapshooters at Maplewood
last year-50 of the best amateurs in the
land-and the management has based it's
program this year on 100 entrants, and
confidently expests twice that number.
Cash Prizes and Cups
The tournament last year was con-
Quoted late in July. So pleasing was II that
Secretary William f. Dunspaugh decided

Ills MaiestY---The Mosquito

Havana, Cuba, became one OF the
most attractive points of the West
Indies when it was renovated" under
the direction of Colonel Gorgas. The
same intelligent comprehension Of the
needs Of sanitation which Gorgas ap-
piled to the Panama Zone, made the
canal a possibility. Twothirds Of all
the Frenchmen and laborers, who en-
deavored to build the old canal died
from mosquito bites-that is to say
they died from yellow fever and other
diseases that are carried on the stings
OF mosquitoes. The Panama Canal Zone
has become one If the most healthful
spots in the world since the mosquitoes
have been exterminated. And now
the people of New Jersey, New York
and Connecticut have arrived at the
conclusion that the New Jersey mos
quito should no longer be treated as a
joke. The east winds have been
carrying the little pests across the Hud-
son for many years, and the marshes
Of Jamaica Bay, Brooklyn and Long Is
land have so menaced public health
that New York City is spending hun
dreds Of thousands of dollars in filing
them in and in digging drainage bitches.
New Jersey and Connecticut are also
taking vigorous steps in the same
direction.

Breeds Shipping Habit

When the parcel post was inaugurated
one Of the old express companies
liquidated and went out Of business.
Nearly all the companies gave indica-
tons of distress. But their recent f.
nancial reports indicate that the parcel
post has bred the shipping habit among
people of the United States, and the
result has been that the express COM
panies have been getting their full
share OF business. Parcel post rates
have been ridiculously low in many
instances, but on long hauls, where
the greatest profit results, the Govern
ment rates have been so high that the
business has gone largely to the ex-

The Kaiser's Regret

One Of the most prominent Germans
in America, who has not the temerity
to publish his own information, recently
told the correspondent of this paper,
that while he was in Germany two or
three months ago, he had the oppor-
tunity to talk with some of the leading
officials of the Empire. One of them
told him of the sentiment OF the Kai-
ser. The latter is reported to have
said that he did not care very much
about the opinion Of the United States
with reference to the war, but he ex-
pressed himself as deeply hurt because
of the attitude and public utterances
of Colonel Roosevelt.

Washington is Hot
concerned

The weather man has been treating
Washington to its first taste of semi
tropical heat, with the result that there
is some talk on Capitol Hill as to when
congress should adjourn. Washington
is good enough for any congressman to
live in when the weather behaves, and
a good deal of sympathy wasted on
overworked officials" usually repre-
sents a mis-directed sentiment. But
when Old Sol gets good and busy it is
not at all strange that statesmen adjust
their consciences to the belief that
they are greatly needed at home in
their districts, especially when it is an
election year.

Patenting a Hole

What was once the State Mint" OF
New York. has jumped into prominence
as great crop that is raised in many
sections OF the country, and one of the
reasons for the increased demand is to
supply the American sweet tooth with
peppermint candy. A year and half
ago a couple Of young college men
who had been following the increasing
demand for peppermint as candy, con-
ceiyed the idea that if they could man
ufacture it in some way whereby it
would possess a novel sales feature,
that they would be able to create a
big business. Following this idea to
its conclusion they placed hole in
the center OF the CONNECTION, and their
Joy at being able to secure patent on
the hole, was increased amazingly by
the records OF their sales office. The
American people looked upon the new
form OF peppermint with such favor
that they bought million dollars worth
Of what were called Life Savers" in
a single year. The story of the mint
is interesting. 1t was among the
plants first recognized Of value by the
ancients; and many references are made
to it in early literature. 1t found its
expression in our own country in the
medicine of the Indians. 1t has long
been common in physicians prescrip-
tons, in the manufacture of toilet
articles, and in pharmaceutics. For
long time juleps and iags were as
ISOLATED with the use of the mint, and
spring lamb gamboled with it. But
its use in building a candy cut around
a hole has been one OF its most mar
velous accomplishments

press companies. OF course, no one
would ever suspect that the express
people had anything to do with Gre
ating such condition. would be
very unkind to suggest the thought!
However, the natural thing has hap
pened in that the express companies
have received their full share of the
increased business. They are again
able to poke up their heads and enjoy
the benefits of a new lease Of life.
And the American public is inclined
to watch them, lest they misbehave

Continued assaults upon non-union
workmen, fully twenty Of whom have
been attacked and beaten, one at a
time by groups Of striking longshore-
men, have marked the past week in
Seattle's waterfront strike. Neverhe-
less the loading and unloading Of
steamships is going forward with non
union workers, and it looks as if the
shipping companies will be able to
get along without the strikers, altho
the latter are doing their best to
frighten workmen away from the docks
and there is not much public interest
in the continued smuggling Of workmen
by the strikers. Business men are
satisfied SO long as the freight is moving
however, and it seems doubtful if the
strikers can win their point, which is
a demand for a closed shop.

The Guaranty Legend

The very comforting words, Guar
anteed under the Food and Drugs Act,
June 30,1o06," are rapidly disappear
ing from labeled merchandise. Man
ufacturers have been given an extern
sion Of time in which to use up their
old labels, but the deceptive guaranty
is being discontinued as rapidly as pos
sible. The federal authorities have
found that the public has been led to
believe that the government, in some
way, approved Of the food or drugs
bearing this legend. AS matter OF
fact, in its operation it has been found
that the guarantee has been an abso-
lutely dead letter so far as the accom-
plishment Of any good purpose was
concerned

The enforcement OF the dry law"
in this state will not be stopped by
the decision of the supreme court in
the cases OF two Seattle millionaires
whose private stocks OF liquor were
seized by Sheriff Hodge last winter.
The court has ordered the liquor re-
turned to these men, declaring that it
was legally obtained by them and not
subject to seizure. This decision will
not affect the raids on blind pigs OF
