Flour Makers Proud. Record.

Ranking as the champion flour max.
er of the world, John Kraft, who re-
tired March /, after continuous serV-
Ice for 46 years, holds the unique rec
ord Of making flour enough to feed the
United States and its possessions TOR
a period of one year.
Because of impaired vision, the Ar
gonaut states. Mr.. Kraft, who Is sixty
nine years DID, terminated his connec-
ton, with a Minneapolis -four company
after establishing a record which mill
ing engineers believe will stand TOR
many years. Engineers at the plant
estimate that during his 46 years OF
active service Mr. Kraft made 1885,
100000 barrels of -four. According 10
the veteran miller, an average normal
person consumes about one barrel OF
flour a year, or it's equivalent. MA
Kraft's output, therefore, could feed
the population of the entire united
States and its possessions, which is
approximately 115.OOO,0OO, and at the
end of the year have a large surplus.

ternoon for the purpose of discussing
a definite farming program to be pre-
sented to the farmers and land own

T. M. Mills, chairman of the COM

Grafton to program which was pre-
pared by Secretary Mcdaniel of our
chamber of commerce some months
ago. This program was presented to
the farmers of Kershaw county, and
since it's adoption by the Camden and

recommend to the committee that
this program bee adopted with few
minor changes to make it conform to

REAL HuMoRIsT or AMERICA
In One Wr.ers Opinion, the Country
Editor Is Entitled to Honor
of. the Title.

The funniest things which are writ
ten and printed in this country are
not written by Irwin Cobb or George
Ade or Ring. Lardner. They are not
written by the professional humorist
of the great newspapers.
They are written by the so-called
country editors and notably by So
called country editors of Ohio and
Kansas. We hardly think anyone
with a real sense of humor who reads
large numbers Of newspapers and
magazines and modern books will dis
pute this assertion.
Humor is merely the ability to see
and react understandingly to the
mirth-provoking side Of human nature,
which is not the least ample Of its
sides. A humorous paragraph may be
grossly exaggerated in it's interpreta-
ton Of human nature, but human ma
ture must be somewhere down near
the bottom of it or it is failure.
This explains why humor is so much
more amusing, so much more satisfy
ing than wit. Wit needs no human
nature as it's foundation, it may be
simply a lightning-like play on mere
words, sufficient to cause a smile,
laugh perhaps, but none Of the solid
comfort derived by the discerning from
true humor.-Ohio State Journal.

RULED LONG IN WILDERNESS
Colin Rankin, Recently Deceased, Was
Fifty Years With the Hudson's
Bay Company.

Colin Rankin, who died in Montreal
recently at the age of ninety-four, was
the first native Canadian to enter the
service of the Hudson's Bay company.
After a half-century in the company's
employ, this patriarch of the fur trade
retired as chief factor, in 1898.
He was taken into the Hudson's Bay
company's service in 1S4S by Sir
George Simpson, known as the "em--.
peror governor" Sir George was one
Of the ablest of the long line of COVER
nors that began in 1910 with Prince
Rupert, famous champion Of the house
Of Stuart in Cromwellian wars. Under
him, the company was merged with
the North West company, which for
years had been its deadly rival in the
fur trade. Under him, too, the COM
pany reached its meridian OF power
and dominion and ruled three-fourths
of the North American continent.
Mr.. Rankin's service was almost ex-
clusiyely in eastern Canada. He was
in charge Of posts at Mattawa, La
chine, St. Maurice, Kickendatch, Ber-
simis, Saguenay, Simcoe and Tennis
kaming. He was chief factor over the
Lake Superior district and the Ottawa
river district. He was known for MS
yisor of mind and body, and MS
career, which missed hut six years OF
rounding out a century, was an epic
OF the wilderness adventure.

GCT ALONG WITHOUT B0SSING
Joseph Pulitzer Selected His Right
Hand Men With Care, and Then
Let Them Alone.

There is an Old provcrb to the ef-
feet that a good boss makes good
workman. There must be something
in it. The most successful employ
ers are those who have the most worth
while employees. Part Of the sue
cess, 10 doubt, is in picking the EN-
ployee. Another part, perhaps, is in
letting him alone. Ii he is worth keep
ing he is worth trusting.
Joseph Pulitzer never dictated to
me- said Samuel G. Blythe, accord
ing to an exchange. He never told
me what to write or what not to.
Only once in my life did he even make
a request Of me-"
Blythe was for years the star man
in the great blind editors Washing
tor bureau Now and then, as Blythe
explained, Mr.. Pulitzer went to some
trouble to prove in the editorial col
umn that Blythe was suffering from
prolapsus of the intellect. Sometimes
he massed facts to show that his opin-
ion differed monumentally from that
of his Washington luminary. But he
never dictated, said Blythe. Or al
most never But once he did ask
a favor.
II had been sharpshooting at the
manner in which a great firm Of archi-
tects was abusing the exterior of the
White House." said Blythe, when one
day got wire from the old man. 1t
ran something like this:
"'Unless you have a deep personal
feeling in the matter / wish you would
cease further reference to the rebuild
ing of the White House. Please un-
derstand this is not a criticism Of what
you have written. But the same firm
of architects is building house for
me, and if you don't lay off I'll not
get into it for two years.
Blythe's conclusion was that an en-
ployer of that sort is fairly sure to
have employees who will rob graves,
sit up oil night, or tear thesaurus to
tatterS for him.

uNFOLDS A TERRIBLE TALE
Captain Returning From Voyage to the
Torrid Zone Has Story OF won.
derful Experience.

A terrible tale of the torrid zone
was unfolded by Capt. K. h. TorriDie
the other day on the arrival OF the
steamer Denis. which plies between
New York and ManaOis, a port about
1000 miles up the Amazon river. Inc
skipper vowed by marine and other
saints that never had he seen sights
so strange, according to the New YORK
Times.
On a river which empties into the
Amazon, near ManaoiS, he said ne Sd"
myrads OF electric cells SO strongly
charged with electricity that the Droao
bosom Of the stream was flooded with
light and the crew were able to read
their pocket Bibles by the glow, which
was estimated at 40 watts per eel.
When seamen brought some Of these
high-voltaged eels on deck, Captain
Torrible said, the ships dynamos were
short circuited and there was the dick
ems to pay until the eels were discon-
nected.
But Skipper Torribie hadn't finished.
While the Denis was tied up 1T the
pier boy who was working with
loading gang fell into the river. The
luminous eels surged around him, and
when he was picked up ne was dead.
A physician who examined the body
said that the lad was the victim OF
an electric overcharge. Captain Tor
rible brought: back with him sun
lodging monkey, which .prowled' only
at night. He declared that the simian,
like an owl, was casual and apathetic
by day, but when the sun went over
the horizon the monkey had 2O-2O
glims and was an ultra-siyely stopper.
The captain took newspaper men into
his cabin, where the pet was Kept,
and pulled down the shades. The sun
dodger reacted to the gloom by ap-
propriating and Immediately eating
straw kelly recently purchased at con-
siderable outlay by. one of the report

The skipper said that he had pur-
chased Brazilian sloth to bring back
to the United States, but the animal
was too lazy to eat and died on the
way here.
