Rubber PRODUCING Plants.

Of all rubber producing plants, only
guayule grows wild within our bOrd-
ers. In the Big Bend territory in Texas
a large district, only second in size
to the Chihuahuan field in Mexico, Is
available. Why not extend this field
over the arid lands Of New Mexico,
Arizona and Nevada? Waste land
would be utilized, and valuable pro-
duct secured. Guayule is not new to
the American rubber man, unfortun-
ately it is almost ancient history to
him. 1t is safe to say that there are
scattered over this country at least
fifty deresinating plants, intended pri-
marily for the treatment Of this rub
Der. At one time they furnished about
one-fifth of the entire rubber used in
this country. The total production Of
the Mexican guayule fields was about
10000 tons of the washed and dried,
but not dereslnated, rubber a year,
from 1905 to 1910. In 1911 it began
to fall off, and the recorded production
for 1912 is $500 tons. About so per
cent of this production was exported
to the United States. Since 1912 quay
ule has been comparatively unimport-
ant.-Metallurgical and Chemical En-

Photooraphs With Bubble Background.

Professor Boys Of England, expert
menting with bubbles, obtained some
very large ones, which in the sunshine
changed colors so beautifully that he
conceived the idea of using them as
backgrounds for photographs.
These. large bubbles were blown with
an ordinary bellows, says the Popular
Science Monthly. The soap solution
was heated and large-mounted fun
mel was dipped into it. The bellows,
connected with the funnel, was then
worked very gently. Bubbles with as
great a circumference as two and a
half feet were easily obtained.

American chiIdren's Manners.


The North American child Is too
often merely the by-product Of mar
riage. 1t serves as an outlet for that
pride which it's parents cannot always
reasonably take in themselves. 1t is
petted, cajoled, pampered, overdressed,
and underdisciplined, till there is
evolved pygmy for whom the world
soon grows banal, who is destitute Of
the petitionary apparel to childhood,
and who surveys an already antici-
pated and thoroughly analysed future
with the cold eyes Of unnatural knowl-
edge. The world is its football. 1t Is
smart beyond description. But there
is in the forced garden of its life no
sheltering bed where may bloom the
flowers of graciOusness or peace. OF
such will be the new aristOcracy, and
it's traditions will be Of grandfathers
who, by virtue of that native Ameri-
can longsightedness, delivered the
goods of their period and were prompt
ly and suitably rewarded. But there
will be few traditions Of courtliness,
scant reminders that noblesse oblige,
and but scattering memories of in
herited responsibilities. The sempi-
ternal dollar will still dominate. One
generation was too busy collecting and
the other will be too busy spending.
The second generation offers no prom
Use, and the third but little. The
fourth will probably open new and
finer cycle.-Harper's.

country house which you assisted me
to purchase on the border of the love
ly forest of Fontainebleau.
And now, you have asked me to
reveal to you some Of the secrets Of
Potsdam-secrets known to me by rea-
son of my official position before the
war.
You are persuading me to disclose
some facts concerning the public and
private life of the emperor, of my
imperial master, the crown prince,
known in his intimate circles as
"Willie." and of the handsome but long
suffering Cecil, duchess of Mecklen-
burg, who married him ten years ago,

Poor woman! She has experienced

piness, by which she has become pre-

ing an almost tragic look.
A Strange, lnexpIicabIe Affair.
In the early days of 1912 l found
myself, as the personal adjutant of his
imperial highness the crown prince. in
plicable affair.
The drama opened in the emperOr'S
palace in Berlin on New Years night,
1912. when, as usual, a grand court re-
ception was held.
In the famous White salon, with it's
ceilings gaudily emblazOned with the
arms Of the HOhenZOllernS as bur
graves, electors, kings, emperOrs. and
what-nOt, it's walls of cOlOred marble
and gilded bronze, and its fine statues
of the PruSSian rulers, we had all as
Sembled and were waiting the entrance
of the emperor.
OF sudden the tap of the chamber
iain's stick was heard thrice, the gold
and-white doors instantly fell open,
md the emperor, his decorations
cleaning beneath the myriad lights,
smilingly entered with his waddling
consort, the crown prince, and their
brilliant suite.
The Cause Of the Kaiser's Annoyance.
All of us bowed low in homage, but
Us we did so saw the Shrewd eyes OF
the "all-highest one" which nothing es
capes, fixed upon q woman who stood
close to my elbow. AS he fixed his
fierce gaze upon her, l saw, knowing
that glance as l did, that 1t spoke vol,
umes. Hitherto l had not noticed the
lady, for she was probably one of those
unimportant persons who are com,
handed to grand court, wives and
daughters of military nObOdies, Of
whom we at the palace never took the
trouble to inquire so long as their
gilt commandments, issued by the
grand chamberlain, were in proper
order.
That slight contraction of the EN-
peror's eyebrows caused me to ponder
deep, for, knowing him so intimately
saw that he was intensely annoyed.
For what reason? was much mysti

BUSINESS GOOD
IN CANADA
No Financial Depression, and
None Since the War BEGAN.

A well-known correspondent Of an
important Western daily paper recent
~ made an extended visit to Western
Canada, and in summing up the re-
suits, after going thoroughly into con-
ditions there, says there is no financial
depression in Canada, nor has there
been anything Of the sort since the
the barometer of trade. and seen the
bank clearings of the different cities
grow and continue to grow will have
arrived at the same conclusion. The
trade statistics reveal like situation.
The progress that the farmers are
making is highly satisfactory. AS this
correspondent says: 'It is true there
have been adaptations to meet new
conditions, and taxes have been re-
vised, and that a very large burden of
added expense in many lines has boon
assumed, but it has all been done me-
thodically, carefully and with full re-
gard for the resources to be called on.
'That this has been done fairly and
wisely Is proved by the present COM
Portable financial position.
with the exception Of a restricted
area in the east, Canada is not an in
dustrial country. The greater portion
of the Dominion must be classed as
agricultural area, with only an infinl-
tesimal part Of it fully developed.
Lacking complete development, the
agricultural portion of Canada has
naturally placed its main dependence
upon fewer resources than would be
the case in the States. Even in peace
times, business would be subject to
more frequent and wider fluctuations,
due to the narrower foundation upon
which it rests. :.
"Thus, Canada has been able to
come up to the war with efficiency and
sufficiency and to maintain and even
advance its civilian activities.
"Canada's first element of financial
strength lay in its branch bank sys-
tenn. This system has two great ad-
vantages: it makes the financial re-
sources of the Dominion fluid so that
supplies Of capital can run quickly
from the high spots to the low spots:
also, 1t places at the command of each
individual branch the combined re-
sources Of the whole institution so
that there is an efficient safeguard
against severe strain at any one
point.
Here in Winnipeg, the all-Canada
banking houses maintain big. strong
branches and, as elsewhere in the
Dominion, these held to an attitude of
saneness and solidity that prevented
even the start Of any financial dis
turbance.
That business generally is now COM
ing strong on an even keel is largely
due to the absolute refusal of the
banks, both branch and independent,
to exhibit the slightest signs Of ex-
element or apprehensiveness.
"For all Canada the savings bank
figures are astonishing. Beginning with
1913, they are, for the fiscal year end

break Of war. Indeed, they recounted
q private conversation which the coun-
tess had overheard between the kaiser
and Count Zeppelin, repeating certain
opprobrious epithets which the all
highest had bestowed upon one or two
British statesmen, and she also point
ed out the great danger of q pending
rupture between the two powers, as
well as explaining some details, re-
garding the improved Zeppelins In
course Of construction secretly on
Lake Constance, and certain scandals
regarding the private life of the crown
prince.
Thus the well meant warnings Of
an honest Englishwoman never
reached the unsuspiclous address to
which they were sent, and thus did
"Willie"-who, as I afterward dlscov-
cred. devised that subtle vengeance
act as the emperor's catspaw.

The TROUBLES OF A MERCHANT
CAN BE STOPPED

The National Cash Register Co., of
Dayton, Ohio, will present for the
first time in Maysville a four reel
feature motion picture entitled "Trou-
bles of Merchant and How to Stop
Them" before the Retail Merchants
and Clerks, this evening in the Gem
Theater. The film portrays a good
display Of goods and the sidewalk is
not kept clean. The interior of the
store is in keeping with the exterior.
The stock of goods is Of good quality
but they are poorly arranged and bad
ly displayed. He has several clerks
and cashier, but there is nothing to
encourage them to take an interest
in the business. The proprietor
spends much time in going over the
books trying to get facts about his
financial standing. Collections are
slow and he tries to figure how much
he owes. He goes to the bank but
his request for money is not received
with much enthusiasm.
Mr.. Merchant gets home late in the
evening, the day has been full of wor-
ries, disappointments and disputes
and he cannot enjoy his home and
family.
The next day sees the turning point
In his career. He has installed a
modern business system and later
cleanliness and order take the place
of untidiness and confusion. He
makes the necessary changes in his
store front and the display and ar
rangement of his goods. He leaves
his store and arrives home early and
enjoys the evening with his family.
