too much anti-farmer quack juice.
It's death would hardly be worthy
Of mention, for such suicides are
common in the Northwest now, ex-
cept for the fact that its editor runs
as headline: "This newspaper is
discontinued with this issue. Cause

show that the editor was dead long
before he became aware of it.

The most ignorant man we meet is
the man who refuses to aid an i'm
mediate reform because reformers
can not show him an immediate solu-
ton to all problems. The worst
brand of the lot is the fellow who
doesn't believe farmers and workers
should cooperate to get the special
interests off their backs because
these two classes might have a little
difficulty in distributing what they
kept the special interests from taking
cut OF their pockets.

Eminent statesmen, hired as law

Representative Sinclair of North
Dakota laughs to scorn the assertion
OF the packers and Gamers that the
farmers were protected by keeping
TIC millions of dollars worth of sur
plus army foods off the market. It
IS admitted by the war dsDaTtl1:e at
that this propa garda, sk;Ilfully in
Jected, Is t~+Sonsi1le In large part {, r
keeping the food in storage until
much Of it rotted.
Mr.. Sinclair pointed out that the
FARMER now gets an acreage of only
35 cents for every dollar 5 worth If
food produced, the intermediate no
nopohsts pocketi2g by far the great
er part of the price paid by the con-
sumner.
"The packers knew well. he said,
that any further cut in The price
paid the producer would bring that
price below the cost of production
and make him quit altogether. They
know they would have to absorb the
loss from broken food market from
their own swollen profits. That is
why they don't want the market
broken. This apparent concern for
the farmers is only camoulfage."
The North Dakota congressman as
serts that the farmers stand shoulder
to shoulder with the wage-workers
of the cities in the coming fight to
break the power of the packers.

PARK A PLACE OF WONDERS
Yellowstone Has Many MarVels Which
VIII for All Time Furnish
Attraction for Tourists.

In writing of the Yellowstone park,
John Muir has said: "In some of the
spring basins the waters though still
warm, are perfectly calm, and shine
blandly in a sod Of overleanlng grass
and flowers, as If they were thor
Oughly cooked at last, and set aside
to settle and cool. Others are wildly
boiling over as If running to waste
thousands of tons of the precious
liquids being thrown into the air, to
fall in scaldng floods on the clean
coral floor Of the establishment, keep
ing Onlookers at distance. Instead
of holding limpid pale green or azure
water, other pots and craters are
filed with scalding mud, which is
tossed up from three to four feet
to thirty feet, in sticky, rank-smelling
masses, with "lsping, belchlng, thud-
ding sounds, plastering the branches
of neighboring trees; every flask, re-
tort, hot spring and geyser has some
thing special in it, no two being the
same in temperature, color, or COM
position"

MUCH Difference IN HUMOR
Brand Highly Thought OF in One coun.
try Is Not Always Appreciated
in Others.

When Coleridge said, 'NO mind is
thoroughly we'll organized that is de-
ficient in the sense of humOr," he eX-
pressed conviction that seems com
mon to all civilized men, and makes
each nation take pride in its humor
and perhaps suspect that other nations
enjoy a somewhat inferior brand. Yet
comparisons of humOr shows, broadly
speaking, that the peoples of the world
are much alike. In the Tourist, pub
.lshed In Tokyo, a japanese author, for
example, remarks that humor 'is in
deed the flower of life, and life with
out it would be as dreary as spring
without it's blossoms. To illustrate, he
translates number of Japanese anec-
dotes, funny stories," as the United
States might call them, but one does
not smile over them. Neither, on sec
ond thought, does one smile over many
Of the funny stories" in American
magazines and newspapers. Humor
which really amuseS Is everywhere
rare and precious, a Flower of life"
as the japanese gentleman POLITICALLY
puts it, but growing up in company
with a great many weeds.-Christian
Science Monitor

The ManaroNe.

The mangrove tree, specimens of
which are in the Arnold ArbOretum,
the tree museum of Harvard uniVer,
slty, has very interesting method Of
sending its seeds or fruits into the
world. Growing as it usually does in
shallow water, 1t is necessary for the
young fruits actually to begin growing
before they leave the parent plant.
The fruit, which resembles a large In
vrrteu berry, sends out large leaves
AT its upper end and long root, some
times IL inches in length, from the
lower end, while yet attached to the
parent plant. Then as if by magic,
tie parent plant drops it into the mud
where the plant Already growing begins
TO develop into a larger plant and soon
IS firmly established. If it were not
PREPARED Immediately to begin to grow
in the mud it would probably be wash
ed away. A single mangrOve is oft
times able to start small island by
its manifold roots and arms.

COULD READILY BELIEVE II
Stage Driver Quite Willing to Accept
"keeper's" Explanation as He
Understood 1t

The New Highlander uses the word
natural to describe one who was
unfurnished at birth with the usual
and Indispensable quantity of brains.
Prof Burt G, Wilder, the distinguish
ed zoOlogist, tells an amusing story
that turns on countryman's mistak-
ing the unfamiliar word naturalist"
for the familiar word natural"
A few years after his arrival in
America, Agassiz was one of u small
party Of Harvard professors who
traversed the White Mountain region
in a carriage driven by the country
man. Three Of them were vivacious,
restless, and on the lookout for speci-
mems. They would call a halt, leap
from the vehicle before It stopped,
dash over the fields, and return with
prizes In their boxes, in their hands
and pockets, and even pinned upon
their hats. The fourth, Prof. FELTON,,
the brother-ln-law of Agassiz, sat
quietly in his corner of the carriage
reading favorite Greek author.
hSh IlS DSNIiueleu ullhel Soulu
stand it no longer be elected from
FELTON, information that led him to
view the behavior of the others with
compassionate liberation. At the close
of the day he thus conveyed his in
depreciation to the innkeeper:
Il drove the queerest lot you ever
saw. They chartered like monkeys.
They wouldn't keep still. They jump
ed the fences, tore about the fields,
and came back with their hats cover
ed with bugs. l asked their keeper
what allied them; he said they was
naturals, and, judgin' from the way
they acted, l should say they was."-

USE TIN TO WEIGHT SILK
Manufacturers Have to Employ Mate
rial Which Would Seem Hardly
Suitable for Human Apparel.

We have adopted many foreign ideas
of comfort or utility but no one has
sought to Introduce the wooden shoe
from Holland. The tin stocking is
even less suggestive of luxury, and
yet many of us wear them. OF course
a person could not wear a sock Of
"eighteen-cara tin and be uncOn-
and disguised with silk lie can wear
a considerable amount Of 1t without
suspecting 1t.
In cutting round tops and bottoms
out of tin sheets In the manufacture
of tin cans there remains a certain
amount of scrap. Men have sat up
nights figuring the maximum number
of such pieces Of various sizes that
can be cut from a sheet of the tin,
and still there Is the waste left over
that cannot be worked into sheets
again. Relief IS found in the demand
of the manufacturer of silk, who needs
some substance to weight his goods.
A silk garment hangs and fits and
holds its shape better If weighted,
Everybody knows how soft and light
arc the unweighted pOngee silks. So
the manufacturers of tin cans and Of
silks cooperate. One disposes of his
tin waste, and the other converts the
metal into tin chloride and works 1t
into the woven silk. Virtually all the
waste of tin can factories is put to
that use. Some silk stockings contain
as much as 80 per cent Of tin. The
use Is entirely legitimate, since the
trade demands a silk that is firm and
heavy for certain garments for which
the purchaser desires a perfect fit.
Silk waste, such as WORKOUT and
cast-ofr garments, becomes In turn
source of tin worth attention. Rag
pickers give little heed to silk rem
nants, but carefully collect linen and
wool. The rag-pickers' union, if there
Is such a body, might well take notice
of this information, The tin chlor-
lde in the silk is easily converted into
tin oxide by burning the material, and
from the oxide the metal can be re-
solved.-Youth's Companion.

TAKING HIM DOWN A PEG
Visitors Comment on the Intelligence
of His Host Verged on the
Caustic.

Two old men, one a bachelor and
the other a widower Of many years
standing, have lived on small adjOin-
iNg farms in the southern part of
Washington county for many years,
Not long ago one of them inherited
small amount of money and he imme-
diately put it to use by building
row shack on his land.
When the house was completed he
asked his old friend and neighbor to
come over to spend the night. After
supper they sat by the fire and smoked
and talked, and finally, when CONVEX
sation began to lag, the visitor turned

Shark Salad Wins Favor.

Shark meat Is delicate in flavor and
texture, and sharks are plentiful IN
certain parts of Florida, but the fish
ermen do not catch them because they
are not salable. The home demon
stration agent of Monroe county, Flor
ida, decided last winter on an effort
to establish in favor this fish now un-
der the ban. At her request fisher
man caught one, but warned her that
no one would eat it. Undismayed, she
invited q large company Of women
to a home economics luncheon at which
was served a fish salad. When all
had tasted the salad she asked for n
vote as to how many liked it and
wanted the recipe. Without exception
the women voted their hearty APP
proval, and thus proved to themselves
that their prejudice was without
foundation.

The Quaker Bonnet.

l have heard that there is ~ much
technique in the making of the bonnet

as there is in the japanese art Of

ton that wears the Quaker garb with
the bonnet; there is another in Iowa

who follow the simple, historic fash

Is attached to what is called the tex

TOO FEW USE THEIR BRAINS
Result TruthfuIiy May Be Said t. Be
the Greatest Waste in the
World.

The recent invention which renders
wireless transmission independent of
atmospheric conditions and the dis.
covery by which seven messages can
be sent simultaneously over a tele-
phone wire are striking instances of
latent possibilities long unsupported.
For thousands Of years we did not
even suspect the existence Of elec.
tricity, and, being ignorant, derived
no advantage from 1t.
If we had never heard music, we
would say it was merely the dream of
a simpletOn to expect the most be9Tti-
full harmony OF sounds from a comb,
nation Of wood, intestlnes Of a dead
cat and hairs from the tail of horse
But the violin, plus the man who
knows how, accomplishes the wonder
full result
Active talent is the source of both
quantity and quality of production,
and that does not lie in capital hut
in men, and it usually is latent.
Every man has power and courage,
but not all of them know 1t.
David had it, and knew it, and licked
Goliath.
Foch was not plucked from the -four
hundred"
And Lincoln came from log
cabin.
Not only once in a while, but very
often, nature takes particularly
raw bit of material and shows up
what is in it. 1t is a suggestion for
use to do likewise with ourselves.
The greatest waste in the world is
the unused brains.
