SUGAR TARIFF NO !
AID TO FARMERS
Consumers Taved fox Benefit q

Fair Tariff League Head Says Bsses

Crop.
D. Il. z. MILES.

Chairman Of the Fair tariff LoaUso.
Sugar In the beet, the produces Of
the farm. IL given protection Of IS
ad val0rem In the Fordney Tariff BIN
now before Congress.
Refined sugar, the product Of the
beet sugar factory. Is protected with
q specific rate equivalent to from 0Ox
to 100% I'D valorem on tho basis a.
present prices.
For example, the Michigan sugar
factory receives a prohibitive .protec.
ton against the Importation Of the
product Of the Canadian sugar factory
but the Michigan sugar beet farmer
receives practically no protection
against the Canadian sugar 6eef. :
In view of this fsrmefs &re askine
II the coz Increase In the tariff on
Cuban raw sugar contained In the
Fordney Tariff Bill & IN effort 10 pro-
tect the farmer or an effort to pay /
further bonus to an already sufficient
" protected beet sugar industry.
All farmers use sugar. They usually
buy II IN 100 pound sacks. Every time
Q farmer buys q sack Of sugar he pays
600 a. the result of the tariff on
sugar. Half Of this goes to the Gov
eminent and half Of It to the beet
sugar manufacturer.
This u true because we consume IN
this country twice as much sugar Al
We make. but the price Of sugar to the
farmer n the Cuban price plus the
tariff. But the farmer pays this price
on both the domestic sugar and the
foreign sugar. Therefore the farmer
pays half Of this tax to the Govern
ment and half to the manufactures Of
beet sugar In this country.
Sugar Deets q Minor Product
The farmer might feel that he was
getting some benefit out Of this Il the
raising Of sngar beets was actually an
important American agricultural pur.
suit: This, however, is not the case.

The Woman has young college

she DISCUSSES beautifully by means OF

the reverse.

FISH THAT SWALLOW STONES
Antarctic Seals and a Certain Species
of Whale Need Them to Aid
in Digestion.

Stones are commonly found In the
stomach of the crab-eating seal of the
Antarctic seas and 1t Is believed they,
with certain amount Of grit, are
scOoped up with the crustacea from the
bottom of the seq. The emperor pen
gum, on the other hand, shows an in
stinctive craving for stones for gizzard-
grinding purposes, and these stones
mast be assiduously sought, since
these birds never rest upon dry land.
but only upon ice.
Another uneXpected>name In this list
of stone sWallowers is that of the Les
ser Rorqual. This is a "baleen" whale,
feeding upon minute crustacea, and
fish. From the peculiar method of
feeding which is, so to speak. forced
upon this animal, il is unlikely that any
portion of its food Is scOoped up from
the sea-tloor; hence the pebbles found
in its stomach must be deliberately
swallowed, and 1t is supposed, for the
purpose Of digestion, or, rather, Of
tl4turation. They are hardly likely to
be derived from the fish which are ell
quilted, for these are mostly herring.

Peter Pan Remains Popular.

Whether one believes in fairies Aor
not doesn't matter. 1t Is impossible
to live in London through Christ
mas season without coming to believe
at least in Peter Pan. The fact that
Barrie's fairy tale is played each De
cemher holiday time as regularly as
Santa comes down the chimney does
not wholly account for the important
Christmas Institution that Peter Pan
has come to be. although it has done
great deal toward 1t. Year after
year, the boy who would not grow MP
has spirited Wendy from her bed on
the stage of the st. James theater,

HAS DISCOVERED NEW FORCE
Londoner Gives Interesting Deserip-
ton Of Manner in Which He Made
Important Find.

A simple carbon rod has been dis
vanometrist Of London, which If held
in the hands five minutes will recharge
the human system with nerve energy
that lasts II hours. He says 1t Is
nothing new, but, on the contrary, was
known to the ancient Egyptians. He
centuries ago. Mr.. Baines said that
years ago while he was standing in the
British museum before a painted lime
stone sculpture of kharfra, an Egyp-
tian king of the fouHth dynasty, who
built the second of the great pyramids
of Gizeh, he noticed the figure was
holding two small rods shaped some
thing like the grip on bicycle. There
after he began a series of long ex-
periments to discover the substance
which the king held, but he failed in
his search until one day when he was
trying to improve the microphone, for
which he prepared several carbon pen
ellis which had been hardened by =
special process Of his own. He said
that quite accidentally he touched one
of these carbon pencils and was sur
prised to find that his galvanic defiec-
ton swung from positive to negative.
This led to further experiments, and
he finally found that the ordinary arc
carbon, when hardened by his process,
gave out force which could not be
DISTINGUISHED from nerve force. The
bars are about six inches long and are
capped at the ends with celluloid. MIR.
Baines asserted the carbon rods have
been of great aid in treating cases OF
nervous breakdown, deafness, anemla
and many other complaints. He de-
clared he did not know what the new
force was.

Electrical Rubbing.

A mOtOr-operated rubbing machine
for wood surface finishing has been de-
veloped by an American concern. The
device is operated by fractional
horsepower motor, which moves the
rubbing blocks together and apart at
an even speed. The speed is governed
by regulator which can be varied ac-
cording to the class of work to be done.
The machine Is inclOsed In dust-proof
aluminium case and weighs about thir-
ty-five pounds, and, while this weight
gives sufficient pressure for ordinary
purposes, additional pressure can be
applied by the operator If 1t Is desired.
The device is used for rubbing surfaces

Spider Outdone by Man.

Romance in business? OF course
there is. AS soon as we think OF
foreign trade we get the glamor and
thrill Of it; and to Joseph PennelPs
eyes q giant crane or a viaduct or a
steel mill is a picture. But who of us
ever thought of romance in connection
with wire rope?
John Kimberly Mumford has not
taken wire for granted. In "Outspin-
ming the Spider" he has told the story
of an amazing industry In a fashion to
rival the fictionist. Let single pas
sage speak:
"Seven one-thousandths, three one
thousandths, one one-thOusandth-one
record after another was passed.
"At last wire was drawn that
measured one four-thousandths Of an

than the hair on your head"

GRADUATION PROGRAM

The graduation exercises OF the
Philip High School was given at
the Gem Theatre last Thursday >ev-
ening to a packed house. In fact,
many were prevented from hearing
the program on account of the
crowded condition of the theatre.
The four graduates, Ruth Rey-
nick, Mary Huss, Gertrude DAILY
and Alfred Hennings, lead by Prof.
Lamb, marched to the stage to a
grand march played by Mrs. d. D.
Collins. Following the invocation
by Rev. Woodwork, a trio, consist
ing Of Mrs. Guy Ramsey, Miss Lew
is and Miss Bake rendered a very
pleasing and appropriate selection.
The Glass History was read by
Ruth Reynick, the Glass Prophecy
by Mary Huss, and the Glass Will
by Alfred Hennings. Gertrude DAILY
then presented the Key of Know
ledge to Teddy Lamb as president
Of the Sophomore Glass.
After two pleasing vocal num-
bers by Mrs. Wallace Schimke,
Prof. H. G. Lawrence of Huron
College delivered an address, on
The Mind and It's Workings" Mr..
Lawrence handled the subject in
a manner both pleasing and in
structive, injecting just enough
humor to keep the crowd feeling
right.
Following the talk by Prof. Law
renee Prof. Lamb in short and
appropriate talk presented the dip
Tomas to the four young people.
The program closed by the singing
of the first and last verses of cam
erica" and benediction by Rev.
Woodwork.
OF the four graduates two Miss
Daily 'and Miss Reynick expect to
attend summer school at Spearfsh
preparatory to teaching in coming
year; Miss Huss will take two
year business course, and Alfred
Hennings will likely take up the
study of medicine either this or

gard With Ring Taken From
Peruvian Mummy.

A ring with romantic history has
recently been presented to the British
museum by Sir Rider Haggard. He
first saw it 81 years ago, attached to
the watch chain of the headmaster of
his preparatory school, who had re-
ceived ii from friend who had tray
eled much in America. The friends
story was that while travelling In Peru
he had opened gravemound in which
he found stone table with Ii mummi-
fled figures seated round it. On the
finger of the principal figure was this
ring, which the diseoverer withdrew;
and the bodies, according to his story,
crumbled into dust.
1t was the legend attached to this
ring which, according to Sir Rider
Haggard. first turned his Imagination
toward the invention of stories of adj
venture; and readers of king Solo
mons Mines" will recognize in it the
origin of striking episode in that
book. Fifty-five years after he first
