SAYS GOTH m RECRUITS
 ARE D. PER CENT UNFIT

NEW YORK, x. f.. May 2.-Uncic Sans appeal for men to stand behind him in the somewhat tardy struggle to be made to maintain the country's $ rights is daily causing thousands of young men to step to the front and offer their services for any enterprise he shall lead.
 The manhood of New York is arOus- cd, and each day gives increased evi- YGence that this city will furnish more than it's share of volunteers for ser vice through the approaching unset tied times.
 A canvass of the recruiting head quarters in this city, however, estah- fishes one fact, and that is that only about 8 per cent of those who apply for enlistment can pass the required tests and are accepted into the service.

What Tipping Means.

Fourteen thousand six hundred pel cent is q pretty high rate of rent. But it's just what you pay when you Band th. rloakroom pirate iitney for watching your hat for all hour. Do You get Us? Well. it's just like this: When you pay 10 cents for the loan of C"l. far for a year you pay 10 per cent. Bnt if you pay 10 cents for the loan of |: dollar for a day you pay 3GJ times as high a rate. or 3.GJO per cent. It's just the same way with your $:i hat. When you pay ! cents on 1t for an hour you are paying the rate of S43S year, counting only twelve business hours q day And this is at the rate of 14.GO' per cent. Tell thfs to the cloakrOOm girl today and get her 'comeback. But don't blame us if she's bit snippy.-WOrceste Post.

ALGERIA A NEW FRANCE.
Result of q Century of Work Against
 African Savaaery,


 After vast expenditure in lives and treasure France is beginning to reap it's reward from the conquest of Al reria. A hundred years ago the north crn African country was the abode of hararism, and piracy was the princi- pal occupation of it's people. The Unit ed States was the first nation to revolt against the payment of tribute to the dcy of Algiers for protection to con- mercc. and after brief but thrilling conflict the bnccancer chieftain was brought tO his knees.
 In 1897 the French took up the white mans burden in Algicrs and after !; struggle of thirty years subducd the country. Under the monarchy and the second empire the government oI Ai .era was based solely on force. but the republic won the allegiance of the Al yerians by withdrawing the militar! government from all the settled DOT iioIIS of the country, which have since been treated very much as if they were d bart of France. each department sending one senator and two deputies to the French chambers. .AlSerians, >::;vr for a few of the triheSlnen i'll the remote interior. are now loyal French men. regardless of color. race or re- Ii"ion. Algeria also supplies vast quan- titles of footiStuffS and metals [" Erancp.-Ncw York World.

GRANITE MINE CLOSES DOWN
PLAN I'D INSTAL
 NEW POWER PLANT
Increased Cost of Fuel Oil, Steel and Supplies Brings Profits of Opera- tion DOwn-PrObably Use Water Power in Future.

The Granite mine, one of the best known gold quartz propositions on Prince William Sound, has closed down temporarily and most of the men employed there returned to town last evening on the B. F. M.
 Superintendent w. R. Willard, when seen by Prospector representative this morning, stated that the move had been in contemplation for the past two months. but that he had just received the consent of the officials 60 timent against it. but that the coll stantly increasing cost of operation under present conditions mad convinc- ed them of the wisdom of the move. One of the principal reasons for stop ping work at this time has been the Eeavy increase in the cost of fuel oil, which has nearly doubled in the past few months. The plant is operated by steam, and the cost of fuel oil has reached such a figure that almost any other fuel would be cheaper. and Mir. Willard figures that a saving of at least $2,00O month can be saved in this item alone if the contemplated changes are made. It is quite prob able that hydraulic power plant will be installed, plenty of water for the purpose being available for about eight months of the year within d short distance of the mine. This sav- ing alone would make neat dividend On capital stock of the company. In addition, the increased cost of steel. provisions, etc., has cut into the prof it's until it became question of oper- ating the mine for the mere operating expenses.
 MT. Willard states that the mine is in better condition at this time than at any period since it was opened. and
 with a greater amount of ore in tight. but in his opinion it would be extremely unbusinesslike to continue operations at the small profit such operations would yield. With new
 ,Owerplant and other Improvements suggested the mine can be operated even at the present high prices of sup
 rlies at a profit, and it is expected the improvements will be made and the mine re-opened in about three months.
 The mill is still in operation. con- hand, but it is expected this will be
 milled and d cleanup be made by the
 10th. after which the mill will be closed down until new machinery is installed.

Pirates and Steamships.

It was the advent of the steamship that finally gave the pirates their death blow in Malaya. Every schoolboy ought to know the story of the first steamer of BOrneO. Some pirate ships saw a steamer in the distance and. ob, serving tie smoke from it's funnels thought the ship was on fire and there fore helpless. They gave chase, but they were amazed to see the strange sea beast come up steadily against the wind and xomit fire from it's guns. It was generally agreed in polite pirate circles that the white man had played a mean trick upon a successful and honorable body of traders.

"STOP BOARDING FOOD"
 CRY SWEEPING COUNTRY

CHICAGO. May 2.-"StOp hoard ing food" This was the cry that swept Chicago today as two new re- straints were thrown against the steadily growing wave of household buying.
 First-An investigation of reports that speculat DTS were cramming ware houses in an effort to corner the mar let in certain foodstuffs was begun by city officials.
 Second-Thru it spresident, Mrs. r. Varnett Morse, the Home Makers Guild instituted a nationwide move ment to check hoarding of foods thru appeals to the patriotism of women.
 Despite the restraints thrown abou. food hOarding by the quantity limita- tions established by grocers, buying ry householders who feared further advances reached a degree of inten- sity which led grocers in many sec tions of the city to institute what amounted to the virtual disruption of the retail grocery trade routine.
 Deliveries in many instances were stopped entirely or limited to certain products. Quantity restrictions were expanded until they covered almost every staple. In many instances tele- phone orders were received and in still others telephones were left to ring un- answered.
 Reports were received today that groccrs' shelves in many instances had been swept clean of the very staples the sales of which the grocers had sought to Hmit--canned goods. sugar and flour.
