WHY SOME DYES ARE FAST"
Vegetable and Animal compounds Sv-
perior to Any Products Of the
Chemists Laboratory.

Some dyes are FAST" others fade
either when the goods are washed or
when they are exposed to the sunlight
The fastness or otherwise Of a color
depends upon the arrangement OF the
atoms that make up its molecules. II
these be closely interviewer. neither
light nor water can separate them |;
but II they are loosely Joined together
light and water make them disinte-
crate. Most of our modern dyes are
derived from coal tar and consist Of
atoms of carbon. hydrogen, oxygen
and other elements. The vegetable
dyes usually contain no other elements
but carbon. hydrogen and oxygen.
That is why. being so simple. such
colors as logwood and natural indigo
are the fastest Of all. The few ami
NAL dyes--cochineal. for example
are fast for the same reasen. But
the so-called anilin dyes srs the pred
uct Of the chemists laboratory sna
are complex and loosely bound con-
binations Of the atoms Of many s's'
psnts. There are acid tyes and a.
kaiine dyes. and before applying them
to any stun one must know whether
the cells OF this are acid or alkaline
In reaction. For opposites attract.
likes repel. Therefore we must use
acid dyes for alkaline materials and
alkaline dyes for acid materials.

SHEEP KILLED BY DOGS.
Paid for Out of Sheep Fund aud Dogs
Sent to Dog Heaven

Last week dogs killed IS head OF
sheep for r. r. Dunbar and harry
Martin. 1t seems that the killing
was done by dogs belonging to ben
Smith and as a result Mr.. Smith had
the two hounds killed.
After proper Investigation and re-
mort by Mr.. Dunbar and Mr.. Martih'
Truste, T. F. Brown paid to Mr.. Dun
bar SIS and to Mr.. Martin $72 out OF
the sheep fund, which is provided oy
taxes collected on dogs. -,
II seems, however, that Ben smith
;s not at the end Of his trouble oy
killing the dogs for the law makes
him liable for the amount paid to the
men who lost the sheep. Mr' om''h
will very likely reimburse the county
without suit being brought as he IS .
man who believes in keeping "nn"
tbe law and no doubt regrets the
killing of the sheep as much IS any
one, even without taking into con-
sideration the monetary loss that u
will mean to him.
Within the past few days some
person seems to have scattered
ooison rather promiseuously about
town and as a result some ten OF
more dogs have been found dead
Whether or not the poisoning OF the
dogs in town was due to the sheep
having been killed, no one ventures 10
saw It is not at all likely that any
person would think Of connecting
either Mr.. Martin or Mr.. Dunbar with
the wholesale poisoning.

THE PRICE GOAT"
l. the Farmer and Not the Wage
Worker or Middle Man

1t seems strange that so many
people are surprised at the reduction
of prices in general and unprepared
for the drop in wages, when the result
h., been unavoidable all the time.
| But the pinnacle of selfishness I"
| reached by a certain class in then
rejoicing because of the drop in food
commodities and their unreasonable
protest at the reduction OF their own
wages.
That the majority of those working
for inflated wages spent their money
extravagantly. with no thought OF the
future is now quite obvious; ana
some are even refusing to work Tor
lower wages, but instead are proving
that they possess the true Bo'shev's'
tic tendencies.
The demands Of labor for the last
few years have been too prepostefo's
ia last, and one extreme usually be-
gets another.
That those who have spent much
time and money in preparing them
selye for some work in life have not
been the ones to benefit by recent
high wages is quite evident; whhe
the most ignorant laborer who never
spent a day, or q cent, in improving
his mind, or fitting himself tor a place
in the world, has become the autocrat'
demanding and getting whatever nc
desired.
In spite Of the high prices OF farm
product. that made the consumer oe'
lieye that the farmer was prohteering'
no one has suffered as much because
of the unreasonable demands fiabor
as the ,iller of the soil. If he received
! good price for some products, ne
was compelled to pay doubly for the
little help he ansged to get on his
farm. While labor was demanding
aud getting eight hour days and treble
wages, he was working sixteen hours
day with no hope OF any recon-
pense unless he was able to sell ms
crop at a fair price.
And now labor is showing his teeth
in an angry grin at the farmer, and
demanding that farm products drop
to the bottom before wages are cut
The result is that the farmer VINO
nroduced corn at $2.25 bushel, wheat
at about $3.2s, and other products ae-
must now put this same
corn on the market at 7sc to 500
bushel, and his wheat at about $e'oo
Der bushel, or else feed it to eight
and ten cent hogs, |
While very few in this part OF the
country are farming on large
enough scale to feel this loss to any
great extent, it means bankruptcy to
many farmers in the agriculture CEN
ters of the country
The trouble is that while we were
helping to put down one KIND OF
autocracy, another sort secured SO
firm hold on the country that 1t Is
to losen it without injury
to the whole country. But that II
is being loosened is quite evident, ana
out of the present chaos. it is to be
hoped, will dawn saner day OF l'v'ng'
and more normal conditions gen
orally.

CHIEF SPIRITUALIST
i. FACES ARREST
Break Between Two Leaders at Seance
ut Lake PIeasant-One Receives
Scalp Wound

LAKE PLEASANT, Mass, July IS
1t was stated here yesterday that Chief
RheamOnt, the master Spiritualist and
materializing medium, for whose arrest
on charge ofr.assault, a warrant has
been issued on complaint of Converse
NickersOn of Everett, will be back at
the lake on Tuesday. Friends of Chief
Rheamont said that when he went
away he told them that he was going
away for a brief rest and would come
back Tuesday 1t is expected that he
will come regardless of the warrant in
the hands of Chief of Police Carroll at
Millers Falls and that the latter will
have no difficulty in serving it.
The chief : disappearance was the
aftermath of an attempted expose by
converse Nickerson of Everett, who
himself is Spiritualist and a member
of the same organization of which w.
Il. Irwin of Worcester is president.
The trumpet seance so-caIled, came to
a sudden end Wednesday evening when
Just as the spirit manifestations We're
beginning to work at their best Nick
ersOn began to use a pocket flash light.
The seance took place at the cottage of
Chief RheamOnt. who claims unusual
powers in the way of inducing those
who have passed over the StyX to re-
turn, bearing the trumpets which they
play on the other side
Stories differ as to lust what hap
pened when the fashlight began to H.
Illuminate the interior of the room where
the manifestations were taking place
but it is alleged by Nickerson that
Chief RheamOnt struck him over the
head with a trumpet, cutting a deer
cash in his scalp which later required
the services of a physician.

Spain is one Of the greatest iron
ore centers Of the world, shipping ore
heavily to other European countries,
as well as to the United States, and
while it has some large iron and steel
works, its output of the finished prod

its ore developments. Now, however,
there is a well-defined project of the

Bllboa, Spain, to manufacture agricul-
tural machinery for the purpose of
