Wilson Versus Wilson.

Isaac Wilson and Gary Wilson had
been working together on a coal
truck. They are not related.
For some time both men have had
the habit OF kidding one another.
Jostling about and making passes pu-
gilistic.
They got along very well with it
neither got sore at what the other
did.
The other day Gary gave Isaac
some money to buy some liquor with.
The result WAS that when Isaac
threatened to hit Gary, Gary thought
it was one Of his customary Jokes.
Consequently Gary was taken of
his guard. Isaac walloped him one
and knocked him clear OF the truck.
The booze was already getting in
its work and Isaac followed the as
sault with a hunk of coal.
Gary got IL right over the eye.
Then he woke Up 10 the fact that
Isaac really meant what he was
doing.
The two men ran around the truck
as IL at a tag game
The boss of the yard. seeing what
was what sent for a cop and Isaac
was put in the cooler.
Just where he is going 10 get 81
which the court fined him for hitting
Gary is a mystery.

new LAWS STIMULATE
TRADING in MARKET
Favorable Reports from Washington
Reflected in Wall Street.
by BROADAN WALL.

New York. March 21.-Stocks were
strong and many net gains were re-
corded today in a quiet market. The
more cheerful feeling that prevailed
was due to the fact that President
Wilson settled the Dutch dilemma by
seizing the ships and afterwards sign
ed the railway bill.
Agreement was also reached in re-
gard to the price of steel and the con-
ference report was sent to the Presi-
dent for his approval Passage of the
war finance bill by the House was an
other reason for optimism.
March cotton made another new
record by selling up to 1915 cents a
pound.
Professional activity was restrained
by the fear of higher money rates
Brokers have reduced their -loans for
lack Of stocks to carry and now hesi-
tate to encourage buying because
there seems to be no time money even
at the high price prevailing. Cali
money is relatively plentiful and cheap
but the brokers think 1t is not good
business to depend on the call money
market for more than 10 per cent of
their necessities.
Much talk is heard OF time money
POOi Dut mere Is no Omcldl evidence
that such a thing exists. Indeed no
pool Is necessary If the banks do
their duty to the public
Signature Of the railroad bill did not
cause any material change in the
market although II did contribute to
the general cheerfulness. The general
public does not realize yet the import
ance of this new law which guaran-
tees to the railroads the best three
years earnings in their history.
The financial world is now interested
in the details of government financ-
ing of the roads. Under the present
manag cement some roads are making
vastly more than they ever would
have made under private manage
ment and some much less for the
reason that trafIic is being diverted to
natural channels.

There are some of the Thompsons
left-Medill Mccormick has one to run
against in his home State. But that
task is as naught beside the one of

The pernicious. ill-conceived second

The meeting of the Presidents War

Representative Gillett had sharp
exchange with Carter .Glass-and ali
in favor of the former. TO be sure.
The latter gravitates rather more
markedly toward the well OF fiction

House often find 1t easy to give him
argumentative rebukcs of some force.
There are primaries and primaries
in the North they don't necessarily
mean election, while in the South
they most certainly do. And oh. how
longingly some of the nominees from
the Northern States. after surviving
their primaries. have wished that they
were geographically located so they
fould have no more worry after that.
Abominable telephone service sew
eral months ago made many members
of Congress say things they'd best
not let their wives hear. But for
the past four of five months the serv-
ice has been satisfactory and the per-
centage of discontented solons has
therefore decreased.

CHICAGO GRAIN.
By JOSEPH F. PRITcHARD.

Chicago. March n.-The allied nations mus.
have cash oats without delay. Interests acting
for foreign countries paid 13 cents over the
May futures for all the best oats that they
could get today. Premiums for the other grades
for domestic use were tsoms at ex to cents
over the May future for No. white, and at
IN to tx cents for standards
The open interest in both corn and oats has
been greatly reduced. The activity in the mar
kea today showed that the grain trade is In .
position TO do the bidding Of the Food Admin
istratiou. Trade was fairly general. and while
it was confined largely to PROFESSIONAL there
was a good sprinkling Of outside interests nom
various sections Of the country
The buying Of lard by Lrokers who generally
act for packers was the feature Of the market
and caused q moderate advance to be estab-
lished for all products Trade was slightly moe
active Shipments Of meat and lard were mod
erate.

And then Hugh informed him
that there was no need of such a

what he intended doing, namely
persuading his (Perry's) wife away
from him.

Those NeiehborIy Fights.

These backyard scraps cause a
whole lot OF smoke hut very little
fre.
Somewhere in the suburbs Of Wash
ington. Martha Jones and Ben Ham,
mond live side by side.
Tuesday afternoon Ben started to-
ward the end OF his yard TO feed
his pigs.
On his way back he got into an
argument with Martha.
Pretty soon Ben was on top Of the
fence that separates the two proper
ties. with a stick in his hand.
Ordinarily Ben used this stick 10
chastise the unruly pigs.
This time. he reached out and
struck Martha twice with it.
Anyhow. that is what Martha told
the court And it must have riled
her considerably to be hit with the
same stick as the pigs.
Ben had her arrested for hitting
him with a brick. He told the court
that she dropped it over the fence
and hit him in the mouth.
When all the witnesses on botn
sides were heard. the case was so
badly tangled that it looked as though
both were TO blame.
Anyhow. there Was a grave doubt
in the courts mind as TO whether
Martha really hir Ben.
And consequently she was given
the beneft OF the doubt and set free.

what Jamer ). Hill Did.

The late A. B. Stickney. that Maine
school teacher who afterwards ven
tured to promote the Great Western
Railroad, constructed his line. or a
part of it. in competition with line
owned by James j. Hill. In the
manic of 1884 Mr.. Stickney found him
self in grievous embarrassment.
He had borrowed 10000 from an
institution in New York. and pay
ment of the loan was insisted upon
Hr. Stickney was in despair. He
could find no one nor no bank to
help him.
While in that state of mind he met
upon Wall Street James ]. Hill. Mr..
Hin gretted Stickney cordially and
then commented upon his appear
ance, saying that he was fearful
lest Mr.. Stickney was ILL., But it
was mental illness and not physical
which affecting Mr.. Stickney. and
he so said.
He explained to Mr.. Hill why he
was in great distress of mind. and
told Mr.. Hill what had caused this
distress. without waiting more than
a moment or two Mr.. Hill said. Don't
bother any longer. Stickney. I'll take
care of that loan for you.
And he did so, doing this act of

FOOD WASTE TO
Be PARED TO
Minimum

Food waste this year will be re-
duced to a minimum and the women
Of the United States will be largely
responsible for this saving. Most
of the surplus of the countless war
gardens which are growing food to
help win the war cannot be kept for
any length of time without canning.
Full instructions on the important
part the women are taking in this
work is contained in the free canning
and drying manual which the National
War Garden commission will send to
anyone for a two-cent stamp for post
age.
When food in a natural state is kept
unused it spoils in due time. This
condition is caused by the presence,
on the surface or in the structure, of
molds, bacteria or other organisms
causing decay. If these can be des-
troyed and the presence of other
destructive organisms prevented, the
food will keep in good condition for
an indefinite period.
A temperature of PIP degree Fab
utes for some products. to several
hours for others has been found to
kill these organisms. In cold-pack
canning, the products in sealed air
tight jars are protected from the en-
trance of bacteria, and those already
present are destroyed by the contin-
uous, cooking in hot water at the
boiling point during the processing
period.
Much of the canning done in
homes has been applied, until recent
", to fruits and such vegetables as
tomatoes, because after the destruct-
ion of organisms during the kettle
cooking any organisms getting in
from the air when the hot pack
went into the jars was kept from
developing and causing spoilage by
the large amount of acid or sugar
present, or both.
