A MARKET FOR TRACTORS.

The American agricultural tractor has invaded the Philippines in force. During the fiscal year just ended over 800 tractors of various types have been sold in the Archipelago and there has been fairly general scran- machinery and similar products to get the agencies of promising Ameri- can makes. The tractor propaganda is in the air and Philippine planters are generally open to conviction on the proposition that it will solve the pressing need of Philippine agricul- ture for more abundant and more eff fective power.
 The tractor has entered the Philip pines at the psych ological moment. A crisis has been reached in the devel- opment of the agricultural resources of the country because of the lack of draft power necessary for the culti- vation of crops. The Archipelago's S foreign trade is dependent almost en- tirely on the products of the soil. In their efforts to meet the urgent de- mands from abroad the planters have encountered a most disconcerting g
  quently their efforts to increase pro- duction have been seriously retarded.
 That the country was deficient in draft cattle has been known in a gen. eral way for many years. There have been epidemics of rinderpest, the enemy of the carabao. in some part of the Archipelago almost every year since the beginning of the American occupation, and such epidemicS were prevalent for several years before that. Like surra among the horses, rinderpest appeared in sporadic cases long before the political disturbances which led to American occupation. Like surra, also. through the migra- tions, disorders, and general neglect of agriculture and the animals of az riculture that characterized the revolt against Spain and the instruction against the United States, rinderpest epidemics in many parts of the coun- try decimated both the large herds of beef cattle and the droves of carabao (water buffaio) which were to be found on the large haciendas (planta- tions) of the country. Since the or ganization of the Bureau of Agricul- ture, nearly two decades ago, a con tinuous fight has been waged by the best veterinarians procurable, to eradicate rinderpest and surra. The fight has been only partially success ful, however. Year after year these diseases have taken their enormous toll from the cattle, horses and cara bao of the country to the impoverish- ment of agriculture. Large importa- tions of carabao from Indo-China and elsewhere have been made from year to year in an effort to offset the drain upon the draft animals of the Philip pines but, in spite of all efforts, the number of carabao in the country has scarcely remained stationary, while the demand for draft cattle has in creased rapidly from year to year.

 K. c. DELEGATES

Paris, Aug. 16-The Knights of Co., 1umbus delegates who will represent the organizatio at the dedication of the Knights Of Columbus Lafayette statue at Metz on August 21, arrived here shortly after o'clock last even ing.

15,00O PROTEST
 MANNIx ARREST

New York, Aug. 16-ProteSts against the removal by British au- thorities of Archbishop Mannix of Australia from the liner Baltic and the passage of what was styled by speakers as ''the eighty-eighth and most inhuman coercion act imposed by England upon the Republic of Ireland,'' were voiced amid the ac- claim of 15,OOO Irish sympathizers at a meeting held in Madison Square Garden last night. Ex-Justice John w. Golf presided, and the speakers included Major Michael Kelly of the Sixty ninth Regiment, Frank P. Walsh, Lawrence Ginnell, former member of the British Parliament, and an elected member of the Irish Republican Assembly," Monsignor Joseph Mooney, the Rev. Michael J. Murphy, a Methodist clergyman; Dr. Norman Thomas, a Presbyterian clergyman, and the Rev. John Tal- bot Smith.
 Flags of the so-ca1led Republic of Ireland' alternated with flags of the Indian nation,'' which were sold by dark skinned attendants. The Man nix incident was described as "the most stupendous b1under it is possi- ble for a government to make" Speakers predicted the tspeedy crumbling of the British Empire"
 ''The English navy has at last achieved a great naval victory said Justice Golf, 'fby it's piratical raid on the peaceful steamship and it's cap ture of an old Archbishop. They can stop Archbishop Mannix from land- ing in Ireland, but they cannot stop his ideas.''
 A cablegram was drafted to Arch bishop Mannix, denouncing his deten- tion as an unparalleled outrage pos sible only in Turkey and Ireland. we are protesting tonight con- tinued the cablegram, against our own Governments entering into any partnership whatever with a nation guilty of the autocratic and savage acts which England has committed"

 WIFI you kindly publish this in your paper? I am glad that there is one paper published in Bridgeport that is in favor of the trolleys. I have been a reader of the Post for many years but I see that they will not publish anything that favors the troIleys. I wish to give you my opinion on the Htney-trouey problem. The 3it- neys are not 1t for cattle to ride in, as they are dangerous to ride fn- The 1itneys are also hurting the trade of the merchant stores of Bridgeport. The people out of town would rather do their shopping elsewhere than to ride 1n a tttney. I have rode in an OK cart many times, and not to exag- gerate a bit, ifs better than riding in one of those jitneys. My opinion is that you are Ticking your life every time you ride in them. I think I have made by statement clear, as have hundreds of others.
 I trust you will take particular mo- tfco of this letter and kindly publish it in your paper.
 Yours truly,
 IBON BOND.

BOILED HAM Is
RECOVERED ART
BECKER PROVISION COMPANY
USES PATENTED PROCESS TO
SUPPLY TRADE WITH BONED
BOILED HAMS.

Poor old mother suffers every time
you turn around now, for modern
science is every day perfecting meth
DDS which lay her famed products of
the kitchen into the has been class
The latest is a process for the boil
ing of hams, which is soon to be used
by the Becker Provision Company for
supplying the trade with better flaw
ored, and juicy boiled ham.
In the sausage factory of this com
pany, which will soon be in operation,
a huge tank of sheet iron is being in
stalled. 1t will have steam connec-
ton, and in it will be cooked the
hams which are to be the class of the
trade during the coming months
These hams, shipped in after being
picked, will be first soaked in large
vat, to remove the salt and preserva
tive. They will then be boned, placed
in jacket of steel and pressed. This
jacket remains on the ham while it is
being boiled in the tank. After the
boiling is complete, the water is al
lowed to cool and the juice that has
been drawn from the ham in boiling,
goes back into it in the cooling pro-
cess.
The steel jacket is the patented
part of the operation. 1t is fastened
together with cogs that work on the
plan of hand-cuff, which is ample
explanation, as most people have at
some time in their life, whether they
have worn them or not, seen handouts
and know how they work. The press
is hand affair, but it does the work
very thoroughly.
"The superiority of our boiled ham
will be recognized the day it appears
on the market says S. v. Mechanic
han, general manager of the company.
Most people take the ham off the fire
as soon as it has boiled, and this loses
the juices which give it the flavor. Our
hams will never be dry. and I'll pre-
dict that the markets handling our
boiled ham will get three-fourths of
the ham trade this year."
The Becker sausage factory will be
in operation by the end of this week.
Manager McClannahan is making an
effort to have real daylight factory
out Of it, adding windows and paint
ing the interior in white.

RIVER BOOSTER
CHANGES MIND
SUPERIOR BUILDERS SUPPLY
COMPANY WILL HENcEFoRTH
STICK TO RAIL TRANSPORT
TATIoN-MoRE CERTAIN.

River transportation has lost its
most ardent Little Rock booster.
Hereafter NJ A. Coin. of the Builders
Supply Company will give instruc-
lions that freight consigned to his
company come only by rail. He is
off the water route for life.
Five ear loads of merchandise of
the kind that is SO hard to get, in the
wet waters of the Mississippi river,
when he was trying to be a practical
booster for river navigation, is the
answer Mr.. Coin received when he
shipped the material by water from
st. Louis to Memphis, with the inten-
ton of having it come the rest of the
way by rail.
Building material is a scarce arti-
Gle, and the demand is SO great that
whenever there is a chance to pick
up car at any point about the coun-
try, the wide-awake Superior com
pany has man on the spot to grab
it. For two or three weeks Roy Dick
inson, the gumshoe buyer for the SUI
perior company hung around st.
Louis, looking for something to salts
fy the local trade. He managed to
scrape up the five cars. The water
way boosters asked for the shipment,
and being anxious to open navigation,
or to restore it, Mr.. Coin directed
that the freight be delivered to the
barge line company for transportation
to Memphis. The freight arrived
there all right, but the barge cut up
queer capers when near the Bluff City
wharf, and finally settled in ten OF
more feet of water.
There were two cars OF slate sur
faced shingles. two of rubber type
roofing and one car of asphalt ROOF
paints in the shipment.
Bad as he needed the merchandise
Mr.. Cohn declined to accept it, when
advised by the transportation com
pany that it could be salvaged. He
says that the roofing could stand the
water all right, but that the wrap
pers would be off and the paper would
mildew when placed in storage, so the
barge line company is in hard luck.
The Superior scouts are out now
looking for ether material to replace
that which chose Memphis as a termi-
nus instead of Little Rock.

STANLEY, VICE PRESIDENT.

When A. 3. Banks moves from For
dyce to Little Rock to take the presi-
dency of the Southern Trust Company
he is merely coming back home. Mr.
Banks was born in Little Rock, near
the corner of Third and Main streets,
50 years ago. He was elected presi-
dent of the Southern Trust Company
by the directors last week, and this
action was ratified by the stockhold-
ers on Tuesday morning. At the same
time J. H. Stanley, who has been trust
officer of the bank for several years,
was advanced to fill the office of vice
president.
A. B. Banks is one of the best
known bankers, insurance and lum-
bermen in the state of Arkansas. He
has for number of years been a
resident of Fordyee, where he founded
the Home Insurance Company, and
has made it one of the leading insur-
ance institutions of the state. This

fire insurance. Mr.. Banks will move
the insurance business to Little Rock
but this will require time, as a
building may have to be erected to
house this big concern.
The election of Mr.. Banks is mas
ter stroke by the directors of the
Southern Trust Company, and the adj
vancement of Mr. Stanley is just
recognition of merit and service well
rendered.
Mr.. Banks will assume The presi-
dency of the bank at once. bur for the
present he will devote a considerable
part of his time to his business inter-
ests in Fordyce. He will move his
family to Little Rock as soon as n
suitable home has been purchased or
erected for them.
