NEW FRENCH LINER ARTISTIC
The Paris, Recently Launched, Has
Eleven Decks and Is Like an
Art Museum.

A writer in recent number of lie
Petit Parisien devotes nearly a column
of most poetic prose to the new steam
ship Paris of the French Transatlantic
company, launched recently at lie
Havre for the New York run. The
Paris is little more than seven hun
dred and sixty-eight feet in length tnot
quite as long as the Mauretania), has
IL decks, GA lifeboats and three stacks.
Her weight is $4,000 tons.
While not palatial the new liner Is
described as a work of art. She car
ries a crew of 664 and about 5000 pas
sengers. Among the features of her
equipment are mentioned a terraced
cafe and an elaborate children's play
room. The vessel Is an oil burner,
and all the cooking and heating is done
by electricity.
The French writer, above mentioned,
observes that the Paris would do very
nicely as museum and Is a ''perma-
nent. lasting salon of modern French
art" In the grand drawing room,
lined with mauve woodwork, the Pain
ter Lalique has employed a design Of
butterflies representing the hours,
while symbolical canvas from the
brush of Albert Besnard pays homage
to France and America.

OUTWlTTING THE BOND THIEF
Wall Street Bankers Have Devised
/ Some Novel Methods OF Camou-
fiaging Securities.

Many runners in Wall Street are
adopting novel methods of their own
to safeguard the securities given In
their care for delivery. In some In
stances firms have made suggestions
and rules for "camouflaging' the ham
ding of stocks and bonds outside OF
their offices. One brokers' house has
all securities pinned inside newspapers
and one of its runners apparently
walks around with a single newspaper
under his arm which has attached to
its pages inside valuable bonds and
stocks. Yet another firm has hired
former policemen to handle It's deliv-
cries of stock.
Another firm has presented its run
ners with suits, the vests of which have
large inside pockets which are but
toned and in these the securities are
carried and must be on pain of dis
misSal.
One wet day recently special mes
senger of large brokerage house car
ried two Liberty bonds OF $5O,OO0
apiece and three of $4,000 each pin
ned inside a closed umbrella.-Wall

SAW BIG PLOT IN FOOTBALL
Hard to Convince Turkish Authorities
That the Game Was Not Revolu-
tionary canoufiage.

1t has always been a difficult matter
to be sportsman In Turkey. One
Turk. Rechad Bey, tried it with re-
suit weird enough to serve as basis
for a detective story.
1t appears that the young Turk had
organized football team among his
friends, together with some Greeks
and Armenians, and began practicing.
Shortly thereafter, in the middle OF
the night, police came to his house
and carried him off to Scutari. There
he was submitted to long examina-
ton as to the club and the game or
football.
The authorities were convinced that
they had found great plot, and that
the club must be secret society. A
special messenger was sent for the
ball, and that was duly examined and
found to be an internal machine. The
rules of the game were considered to
be another piece of damning evidence,
and still worse were the sweaters and
colors of the club.
After long deliberation the culprit
was sent to the higher police authori-
ties In STEAMBOAT, who went through
second long examination and came to
the conclusion that the empire had
been saved from disintegration by the
early discovery of a great plot. They
DISPATCHED the whole matter to be In
CURED into at the sultan's palace at
Yildiz, and special commission took
the matter In hand.
After much careful thought and ex-
animation of the, evidence of the crime
it was decided that there might be
nothing in it, but that it must not be
committed again.

There isn't anything mysterious
about the States fiscal system yet
few people understand clearly how
the State gets money or how it ex-
rends it. The revenue system of Wis
consin comprises, a. direct taxes
levied for specific and general pur-
poses upon real and personal prop
erty, (2) income and inheritance taxes
levied for general purposes; (3) rail-
road and other public service corpora
ton taxes; (4) departmental receipts
such as auto license fees, fishing AMI
hunting license fees, insurance fees,
ETC., 90 earnings of different depart
ments from industries or other ac-
tivities; (6) interest on State funds
in banks; 90 suit taxes,
(8) contributions from federal gov
eminent such as those for highway
aid etc. The avenues through which
the state expends money may be
divided into four, the legis-
lative, the administrative, the educa-
tional and the judicial.

Citrus By-Products.

In cooperation with the citrus
fruit growers of California, the
United States bureau of chemistry
has been trying for some years past
to develop methods whereby profitable
uses might be found for the enormous
quantities of oranges and lemons
which now go to waste because unfit
for shipment. 1t does not pay to ship
to market any fruit that is not first
class and in prime condition. OF
waste oranges, called "culls," there are
1900 tons year What shall
be done with them? A partial answer
TO the question is furnished by a
score of factories which have already
been put in operation for the produc-
tion of marmalade and jellies. Also,
a profitable market has been found for
orange oil and lemon oil, orange
vinegar, citric acid and dried orange
peel Fresh orange acid Is used for
the marmalade, while the oil Is ex-
tracted by pressure from the skins.
Up TO the present time all of our
orange oil and lemon has come from
Italy and Sicily.

COW TESTING

The Ellsworth Cow Testing Asso-

YEAR work, and two other associa-
tions in the county will have com

are certainly showing up very well
the value of such associations in the

would be more associations in this

milking cows 700 times a year with
cut profit and perpetuating such caws
by the use of inferior sires? 1t is
beyond understanding. Forced econ
omy is an absolute necessity in all
lines of business today but false econ
omy is just as great a blunder now
as it ever was and l think it is a
great blunder now, because II pros
porous times men can afford to do
things-or they think they can--that
would be ruinous in Oppressive times.
We are going out of business just be
cause of the temporary depression We
are passing through, but those who
insist upon persistently and consist
emily using scrub, grade or no account
pure-bred sires are going out of bust
ness because they are victims of the
strangest blunder known in the live
stock world. The one who has been
using good, well-bred pure-bred dairy
sires year after year instead of max
ing excuses that salve his better judg
mcnt for using sires that are just
bulls is having the easiest time with
his banker nowadays of any business
man. His bulls have bred up his herd.
They have given him just reason to
be proud. He is cashing in on their
services of the past. The total of the
reults is that he is milking and car
ing well for highly productive cows
that bring him large enough cash
income every day to make him pros
perous.D A Cow Testing and Pure

Pierce County Fair this fall. Be sure
to see it.

kipIino's "Brevities."

1t is quite true, as Mrs. Gerould
says, that Mr. Kiplings fame rests
upon significant brevities." but what
she and critics of a similar complex
ion cannot see is that these "brevities'
are significant" in sense diametri-
cally opposed TO her Interpretation OF
the word. She means, of course, to be
complimentary, to intimate that Mr..
Kipling is brief from choice; whereas
the exact reverse is the truth, and, far
from being brief from choice, Mr.. Kip
ling is brief from necessity. Mrs. Ger
.ould would intimate that Mr.. Kipling
prefers the short story, whereas, in
point of fact, Mr.. Kipllng's gifts re-
strict him to the short story.-F. A.

BEARSKlN A MARK OF HONOR
Five British Regiments Won Right to
Wear Headdress, at the Battle
OF Waterloo.

Recently published portraits of the
king of England at the historic British
ceremony, 'trooping Of the colors," at
the Horse guards parade In London
show him wearing the high shaggy
bearskir headdress which appears to
the uninitiated to be heavy, uncom-
Portable article Of apparel. As mat
ter of fact it is not as uncomfortable
as it looks.
The bearskin, as 1t Is called to dis
tinguish it from the shake and busby,
is made of the skin of the Russian
framework In reality ii is not any
heavier than the oldtime helmet. The
one the king wore on this occasion had
a white plume on the side, the insignia
of the Grenadier guards, of which-regi-
ment King George is honorary colonel.
Five British Guard regiments are en-
titled to wear the bearskin, dis
finction they won at Waterloo when
the British guards defeated the Old
Guard of Napoleon, who wore this
towering form of headdress.
Besides the Grenadier guards regi-
ment dating from the time of Charles
III, the Coldstream, Scots, Irish and
Welsh guards, the latter formed dur
ing the World war, wear bearskins.
They form the brigade of Foot guards
In peace time and are part of the
household troops, whose duties include
the guarding of Buckingham and st.
James palaces.

BIG DOUBLE CIRCUS HAS
VAST PROGRAM
Ringing Bros. and Barnum & Bailey
To Present Scores of Entirely
New Features

New Features
The announcement that the far
famed Ringing Brothers and Barnum
& Bailey Combined Shows are to ex-
hibit at st. Paul Tuesday, August %
has aroused no end of interest. 1t
would seem as though practically all
the youngsters and grown-ups in this
section were planning to attend.
Twice each day for almost two
months New York's great Madison
Square Garden was packed with those
who thronged to see this biggest
program in circus history. They saw
scores of the jungle's most ferocious
beasts, subjugated to such a degree.
that these beautiful animals leaped
to and rode on the backs of elephants
and horses, jumped through hoops of
fire, opened their mouths that their
men and women trainers might lay
their heads and hands inside them,
or leaped from pedestal to pedestal
like trained dogs. And these marvel
Gus dumb actors are all on tour with
the great double circus. The four
immense steel arenas in which they
perform are set up in the mammoth
main tent There is no additional
charge everything is on the Pro-
gram. And by everything" is meant
not only the wild animal displays, but
the entire circus. More than 500 men
and women, embracing the worlds
foremost arenic stars, take part.
There are almost 100 clowns. Aside
from the ferocious beasts, the pro-
gram includes thirty trained eleph-
ants. Troupes of camels perform in
the rings. There are five companies
of trained seals, many dogs, bears,
monkeys, pigs and pigeons. Fully
seventy trained horses and Shetlands
are presented. 1t is the biggest cir
Gus program the world has ever seen,
given under the largest tent and, in
connection, is the famous combined

SCHOOL CARNIVAL
GREAT SUCCESS
Everybody Was There But
Dad and He Kept
The Baby

TO one accustomed to the
severity of our Gym, Friday
night it must have seemed as
though the butterfly had emerg-
ed from its chrysalis. remnants,
paper streamcrs and greenery
decked its walls and rafters lend
ing it a Festive air. The carni-
val spirit was much in evidence,
for camera man "shot" THE
scenes; a ghost prowled restless
Iy among the crowd dragging his
bones from rope; a cave man
howlcd in his dismal cave at one
end, and a wild Indian shrieked
his defiant war whoop at the
other; while from behind closed
doors issued spirit music and the
sibilant whispers of the Egypt
ians at the spiritualistic scene.
Crowds thronged the gypsy tent
to have their fortunes told, or
stood spell bound, writing with
sympathetic qualms before the
huge kettle Of the fire eaters. DR..
Quack's prescriptions proved a
panacea for all ills that "flesh is
hier to" from soothing a broken
heart to making straight hair
curly.
Perhaps one of the most popu-
lar side shows was the minstrel
dance. Anyone privileged to see
this was rewarded by the grace
full agility Of the pickanny dances
The manly sports were not for
gotten and the thrilling fight be-
tween Dempsey and Carpenter;
the cannon ball booth and three
shots at the niger babies were
all productive of much amuse-
ment. A booth for hot dogs and
one for ice cream gladdened the
hearts of the materially minded.
These gustatory delights will
long be remembered. Young and
old, future statesmen and wise
guardians Of the present, men
and maids, all found in our car
nival a medium to express the
joy Of living.
The Juniors have been unusual
ly fortunate in securing as their
commencement speaker Mr. Klein
me Of Bellingham Normal. Prof
fessor Klemme has unusual abil-
ity and this opportunity to hear
him should not be missed.
