INCREASE IN OCEAN RATES
Tariff on Provisions Jumps 100 Per
Cent in Week.

New York, Jan. 17.-Ocean freight
rates from New York sce quoted at a
new high level Even at current
quotations it is difficult to book space.
The greatest increase has been in
space for provisions, the rate having
gone up approximately 100 per cent
in the last week. Grain rates are not
quoted, and cotton rates are nominal,
as there virtually is no cotton room
to be had, it is said, at the port of
New York.
Two principal reasons were ascrib.
ed by brokers':
The withdrawal by the British ad.
miralty of all cargo space except a
small amount on every ship flying the
British flag, amounting to the com
plete taking over of every vessel in
the British merchant marine, and
submarine activities of the past month
that have sent many large freighters
to the bottom.

St. Paul, Jan. 17-Minnesota farm
ers have more luxuries on their tables
than the farmers of most other states
and they have them at a total cost OF
6.8 cents a meal, according to F. W..

Also, he says, in report, they buy

In addition to having better meals
the Minnesota farmer dresses better

DEATH SUMMONS
ADMIRAL AL DEWEY
Head Of American Navy Expires
at Washington.
WAS EIGHTY YEARS OF AGE

Entire Life Of Famous Sea Fighter
Was Spent in His country's serv.
ice-Fought Under Farrasut in the
Civil War and Commanded Fleet at
Battle of Manila in 1898.
Washington, Jan. II. - Admiral
George Dewey, hero Of Manila Bay"
head of the American navy and by
priority the ranking naval officer Of
the world, died at his home here after
an illness of six days. He was in his
eightieth year.
A hero in his early career and in
the prime of his life Admiral Dewey
was hero as the end approached.
His death ended sixty-two years of &C
tive service, active to the last.
A general breakdown, accompanied
by arterio-sclerosis incident to old
age, was the cause of death. The dis
ease had been gradually spreading,
but the admiral, proud of his physical
vigOr, had fought it off and had even
tried to keep it secret from his most
intimate friends.
Mrs. Dewey and the admirars only
son, George, were at his bedside when
he died.
President Wilson, Secretary Daniels
and Rear Admiral Badger will arrange
for the funeral. The body will be
buried at Arlington National cemetery.
Admiral Deweys life was one of
service for his country. Born at
Montpelier, w., on Dec. 26, 1887, he
entered Annapolis naval academy
When he was seventeen years old. He
had favored West Point, but there
was no vacancy at the army school
from Vermont.
Served Under Farragut.
Dewey was twenty-three yaers odd
when the Civil war began. AS lieu
tenant he served under Admiral Farra-
gut when the latter made his historic
dash past New Orleans and it's forts.
Thereafter Farragut was the inspira-
ton for Dewey's career in the United
States navy.
"'What would Farragut do?' I al
ways asked myself when confronted
with any trying SITUATION" Dewey
said in reviewing his life.
Dewey asked himself that question
when he sailed into Manila bay the
night of April 80, 1898, and in the
morning Of the next day destroyed
the Spanish squadron of eleven ships
capturing all other Spanish vessels in
the harbor and taking possession of
the land batteries without the loss OF
"a single American life
The world rang with the praises OF
Dewey. On his return to the United
States he was presented by congress
with an engraved sword and raised
to the rank of admiral Of the navy
held before his time by but two men
in American history-Farragut and
Porter Friends gave him mansion
in Washington.
The gift house made him the cen
ter of some criticism so Dewey pre-
sented it to his wife. He had been {
widower since 1872, but on his re
turn from Manila he married Mrs
Mildred Mclean Hazen of Washing
ton. Later the two moved to hi:
wife's home.

THE GOLDEN WEDDING

-
Alan Ware was 20 and Mary Wat
son was Is when they ran away to
get married, because Mary's brother
objected to the visits of his prospec-
tive brOther-in-law.
Bruce Watson objected because
his own life was sOUred. He was five
years the senior Of Mary, had inner
tied the family estate, had doubled
and trebled it in two years and was
a rich man. Then he ran across a
beautiful but frivolous girl, who
Iured him on to love and eloped with
a circus actor, leaving Bruce the
laughing stock of the town From
that moment Bruce Watson shut out
of his heart all human sympathy. He
was tyrannicaI with his sister and
she submitted except when it came
to Alan Ware. She loved him de-
vOtedly and ran away with him to
get married.
Il cast the unworthy creature out
of my life forever" pronounced
Bruce, and he kept his word
Thenceforth he interested himself
no further in their doings than to
cOIdIy listen to a friend, who told him
Of the poor but happy tTuants, who
had settled down on a little leased
farm 20 miles distant.
The years went on. Bruce Wat
son became a recluse. He lived in a
sUmptuOus manner, his gains in
creased, he had leisure to indulge in
such fads as appealed to his fancy,
for he practically had nothing else to
do. He tOyed with nUmismatics. He
had a very unique collection of coins.
He bought rare old books. Those eff
forts at banishing ennUi filled his life,
but there was no real happiness or
interest at base.
