UNCLE SANS BEAR STORY
Silver Tip Grizzly is dead,
He was a bad actor.

he was pad ACTOR.
This is the epitaph that the Biolog-
ica1 Survey of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture conceived
when it received letter from Charles
J. Bayer, predatory animal Inspector
Of the bureau, at Lander, Wyo., tell
ing of the end of 1,OOO-pound mon
arch of beardom which has been kill
ing stock in the vicinity of Dubois,
Wyo., for several years. A 5O-pound
No. bear trap anchored to 24-foot
tree trunk was Silver Tips undoing;
but he broke the tree and tore a
swath miles long through the forest
before he finally gave up the ghost.
Fifteen dead cattle, each killed with
a crushing blow beneath the eyes and
each with the liver removed as a bear
delicacy, marked the trail to the point
where the animal was trapped. A
500 bounty had been placed on Sill
yer Tips head by stockmen. They
were saved this money, however, as
Government hunters are not allowed
to accept bounties from any source.
Another stock killer has thus been re-
moved from the range.
Inspector Bayer Tells the Story
In letter to DIR. A. H. Fisher, of
the Biological Survey, Inspector
Bayer gives the following account OF
Silver Tip and his end:
''While reports came in occasional
~ of large silver tip that was doing
lot of killing in the vicinity of Du-
bois. no authentic report was received
until the spring of 1913, when several
cattlemen asked that we send a man

A Protective Tariff Needed

It is time that glass manufacturers,
workers and all those interested in
the welfare OF the glass industry of
the United States should give serious
thought to the question of a Tariff
that will protect those who invest
their money, and the men who de-
vote their time to this particular in
dustry. The world is passing through
a period of REIMBURSEMENT, and to
what extent it is going to affect bust
ness, no one is capable of telling. One
assured fact is that European coun-
tries are compelled to seek markets
outside their own borders for their
products, and some time these for
eign materials will have a detrimental
effect upon our industries. Tariff
committees representing the different
branches Of the glass industry should
take up this matter at once and by
the time the coming President of the
United States assumes his duties in
March of next year, will be able to
defend their claim in an intelligent
manner, for justifable, Tariff.
Attention should also be given to
creating foreign markets for the sur
plus glass and glassware manufact.
ured in the States. This export bust
ness which may not be needed now
will sometime be most desirable. A

IS BLOW TO FARMING
Experiment Station Work Suffers
From Lack of Funds

Experiment Station Work Suffers
From Lack of Funds
One of the principal foundation
stones of agricultural progress-the
state agricultural experiment sta
tions-is threatened with decay I'M
less better financial support is Sc
cured for them in the near future.
At the meeting Of the Land Grant
College association held recently at
Springfield, Mass, serious situa-
ton with reference to agricultural
research in the United States was
disclosed.
It was shown that the agricultural
experiment stations of the 48 states
are now receiving practically the
same amounts of state and federal
funds as they received before the war
"a sum aggregating about $4,000
100000 a year for all the state ex-
pertinent stations in the country.
The great reduction in the purchas-
ing power of dollar during the past
six years has made it necessary for
the experiment stations seriously to
curtail their work. Both the quantity
and, quality of experiment station
activities have suffered, speaking of
the United States as a whole.
Are Taken for Granted
The agricultural experiment sta
tions hvae worked so quietly and the
results of their investigations have
found their way into agricultural
practice so gradually that relatively
few people realize how important the
experiment stations really are in the
agricultural development of the coun-
try. Speaking generally, the stations
| have come to be taken for granted
and comparatively little public at.
tention has been focused on them anc
| their problems during the past five OF
ten years.
American agriculture owes much
if not most, of its progress in the
past 25 or 80 years to new facts dis
covered by agricultural research ant
to the application of these facts b!
progressive farmers. Features o.
this recent progress include the Bah
cock test for butter fat, the modern
use of the silo, effective control meas
ures for cholera in hogs and blacklel
and Texas fever in cattle, and the US
of new crops like Sudan grass, Rose
: rye and Kanrod Uhaat
Important Work Dropped
The inadequate financial supper
of agricultural experiment station
since 1914 has had many serious cor

, have deteriorated, many lines of in
portant investigation have had to b
; dropped and much of the work whic
has been kept going could not b

HENRY COUNTY FAIR CONTINUES IN
GLORY BLAZE; ALL RECORDS BROKEN
NO RUST SHOWN
In LATER CROP
Black Fire Or Rust Appears Only In
Earlier Planted Tobacco Be-
ing Cut Unripe.
(By w B Kennedy

The weather has been unfavorable
on the growing crop, it being too
cool and rather too much moisture,
and the prospects for good quality
are not what we would like. In some
sections back fire or rust has done
considerable damage. This disease
seems to be confined to tobacco of
the earlier planting. Just what the
later tobacco will do remains to be
seen, but the crop is not doing as
much in developing as we would like
to see, and if the weather continues
cool the probabilities are that the
crop will develop rather, rough in
character, but if it can remain on the
hill until it gets ripe, it may have
good body. In some sections quite
good deal of tobacco has been cut,
the greater part of it was not ripe,
but farmers cut it in order to save
it from Burning up in the field. TAX
ing it all in all we consider the
prospects for good crop slim and
the yield will not be IS large because
of the tobacco being cut green.
The offerings and deliveries have
gradually dwindled down until they
have been rather small during the
past few days. Still there have been
some 1sales on the loose floors and
through the chutes every day. Also
deliveries to factories of tobacco
bought on contract, and the market
has continued rather active consider
| ing the lateness of the season. There
is very little tobacco left in farmers
hands that is sold to dealers. The
Greater part of the undelivered stock
is owned by farmers.
The market has been rather active
and considerably higher during the
past week. Some demands in the
market have caused prices on leaf
to advance from 81 to SIS on the
hundred. There is nothing selling
but common and medium grades and
prices are ranging from about 9 to
| ID cents on common, and Is to %
cents on medium leaf. These prices
are at least $3.50 per hundred on an
average higher than prices quoted a
week ago. Lugs h; ye also shown
some strength and are selling at so
cents to $3.50 per hundred higher
than week ago.
1t is hard to tell how much unsold
stock there is in the country, but
stocks have been greatly reduced and
we don't think there is more than
three million pounds more emaining
in. the hands of farmers.
The Planters Protective Agsocia-
ton prize houses are being overfowed
with stock and the probabilities are
that a great part of tobacco remain
ing in farmers hands will be delivered
during the next two or three weeks
to make room for the new crop.

VETERANS MEET in
LIVELY SESSION
Fitzgerald-Kendall Camps Hold Meet
At Court House With Distin-
guished Visitors.

Enthusiasm and interest marked
one of the largest and best meetings
in sometime of Fitzgerald Kendall
camp, which convened at the court
house Monday afternoon. Twenty
five veterans and several visitors were
present and took an active part in
the meeting. A pleasant spirit of
comradeship, and that sociability
which usually attends a gathering of
old soldiers was much in evidence at
this meeting. Among the visitors
were A 7 Pullen of Mayfleld, Con-
federate soldier who formally was
representative of Graves county and
who made the Camp splendid talk,
and Rev w 0 Vandyke of Arkansas,
also a veteran and brother of this
camp commander, S Vandyke, who
presided at the meeting.
Rev Poyner led in prayer and
coducted the devotional. An impor-
tant proceeding included the appoint
ing of W M Jcbe and F T Ward as
delegates to the reunion in Houston
in October. E H Covington was
made an alternate. All three eX-
pect to attend the reunion.
Interesting talks were made by
various ones present-among others,
