Haltl's Coffee Fields.

That the coffee plant viii continue
to thrive under most adverse condi-
tions Is amply Illustrated in Haiti
where 1t is said, no coffee has been
planted since the French colonists
were dispossessed OF their planta-
tions 100 years ago. The natives
have merely profted from the rich
farm heritage seized from their EN-
ployers and rulers, and lacking even
rudimentary care and cultivation the
coffee fields have lost their original
productivity and have become over
spread with thickets and weeds. To
day there are scarcely any clearly de-
fined coffee fields, the plants being al
lowed to grow wild and to become
mixed with rank growths of every
sort. Notwithstanding this neglect
coffee is by far the most valuable
product OF Hait's commerce. The
bulk of the yield goes to France. Add
ed to neglect of the plants, the
Haitian coffee raiser" Injuries his
plants by tearing off branches with
the pods, and thus dimlnlshes produc-
tivity.

FTLCHED IN STOCK
DEALS

Washington.-Government officials
state that oil stock promoters operat-
ing in Texas during the last five years
have flched $10O,000,00O from the
public. Postmaster General New
states that companies and syndicates
have been organized, run their course
and passed away by hundreds during
the past five years, leaving approx
mately 100000 stockholders, scatter
ed throughout the United States to
mourn the disappearance of their
hard-earned dollars.
These cases are hard to prosecute,
because it is necessary to produce evi-
dence of intent to defraud. The con-
Germs operate as common law trusts,
which empower them to handle the
money of investors as they please
without question from any authority.

MALE GROUSE NOISY WOoERS
Make Much commotIon When Sound
ing Their Love Calls During
the Mating Season.

Male grouse are noisy wooers. Their
peculiar love calls, which during the
mating season may be heard ringing
through the woods and over the prairie
lands, take the place of the mating
song of singing birds. They are dull,
booming sounds, variously produced.
Some species have most extraor-
dinary wing power, and by rapidly
beating the air or their breast feath-
ers, produce a sound that may be
heard a mile or more. Other species
are provided with an air sac or loose
skin which acts as a sort Of bagpipe
for the bird initiates 1t to an amazing
size; then, with jerking of the head,
he forces the air from it with hollow
"boom, boom, BOOM" which draws the
female birds of their kind. These love
"songs" are accompanied by much
strutting about and spreading OF
feathers, and many fights among the
cocks.

"IndIan kettles.v

The beautifully rounded and
smoothed pot holes which abound
along the rocky shores of Lake
George, and which, geologists say,
were formed by the boring action of
hard powders driven round and round
in water eddies when the glaciers that
once covered the Adirondack region
were melting away, are called by the
country people Indian kettles" They
think that the Indians followed out
these holes, which vary from a foot
to several feet in diameter and depth,
to cook soup In. The heat, they assert,
was produced by dropping red-hot
stones into the holes. While the In
dians did not make the holes it Is
not impossible that they may occasion
ally have utilized them In the way de-
scribed.

BETTER TO BE FOREHANDED
to Become Addicted to the
Habit of Diatoriness.

We probably all know people who
seem to be, as they express it, "al-
ways in a rush." yet who are always
just little late. They find apparently
almost a pleasurable excitement in
putting off till the last moment the per-
formance of necessary tasks and then
executing them under high pressure
No doubt there is something stimulat-
ing i'll having to accomplish certain re-
suits within a given time, but good
many persons in allotting their time
seem to mistake the harassing for the
stimulating.
Every teacher knows that, if on a
Tuesday he assigns certain task to
be completed by the following Tues
day, considerable percentage Of the
class will begin work upon it on Mon
day evening. He knows too that there
is a very small fraction Of the class
who Will set to work upon 1t immedi-
ately. He can soon tell which Of his
pupils are the forehanded and which
the dilatory workers. 1t may be that
the forehanded workers will not al
ways do the best work Some of the
dull pupils are sure to be among the
forehanded ones; they have found that
they have to be, in order to keep UP
at all; and often among the dilatory
pupils there are the brightest minds.
But if not overcome, the habit of dila-
torlness viii eventually slow up nat

habit of forehandedness, if maintained,
will often quicken dull e.-Yonth's

REALTORS VISIT
STEEL PLANT

After the regular monday weekly
lunch and meeting, held at the Y. M.
G. A. Wednesday, members of the
Hamilton Real Estate Board and in
vited friends, making up a party of
about 40 men, piled into automobiles
and drove to the plant of the Hamil-
ton Furnace Company at Coke Otto
for tour of inspection. They were
met at the plant by General Superin-
tendent A. E. Gillispie, Riley Carver
and several officials of the company
and after general introduction all
around started through the big plant.
To say that the members of the
party were amazed at what they saw
and learned is stating it mildly. 1t
was really a tour of revelation. To
see the workings of this wonderful
plant, the starting of the raw ma
terials, iron ore, limestone and other
ingredients going into the making of
high grade pig iron as it went into
the great furnaces, pouring out in
molten metal into the great ladels
on railroad cars which were then
shifted to the great molding appara-
tus carried on a high incline. where
steady streams of water are poured
on them for cooling, after which they
drop into cars, finished pigs ready for
shipment-all this proved a wonder
full sight to the visiting delegation.
The visitors were at the plant three
hours, and were shown everything
there is to be seen in the making of
steel.
All came away from the plant GER
tain that Hamilton has an immense
plant at its very doors, with wonder
full possibilities, of which it's citizens
know very little, but of which they
are going to hear and learn much
in the very near future.

CHILLING WINDS MAKE
 SPRING WEAR SCARCE IN FASHION PARADE
But Old King Tut Has His Day Despite Boreas'
 Blasts

NEW YORK, April 1.-Attended by smiling sun, but with far-from- balmy breezes, the annual Easter Day parade on Fifth avenue today was notable for the scarcity of spring wear and the number and variety of furs.
 Swathed from ankles to chin in her winter garments, milady exhibited only spring head-dress and footw ear. and except in occasional instances did other than a trailing skirt edge give a hint of what is to be the pre- vailing mode. Colors predominated in all attire. not hidden by winter coats, and the effects of Tutank- hamen was aparent. Hats were smaller. and the Egyptian influence drought back the turban and multi colors decorated with scarabs, hiero- glyphics and what-nots. But on the whole. small colored straws, highly adorned with fruits of riotous colors. were the most apparent. Red seemed to be the prevailing color for hats, although the mixture was bewilder- ing.
 Colored shoe. also seemed the mode, with hose to match. Blue shoes and chiffon hose were popular, while red shoes with black chiffon hose were second choice. Color com ing effect.
 What was visible of milady's frocks and suits frankly displayed return to long ankle-1ength skirts. Side panels seemed to give the most striking effects from the Egyptian styles, while the skirts were much more full than during the past sea- son
 One of the most striking costumes was fawn-colored suit. ankle length, turbe of the Tutankhamen fashion, combined with short cara cu coat. blue chiffon hose and blue kid slippers. Another was flow cred Canton crepe dress, with what seemed to be a girdle dangling on one side, short jacket, straw hat of cream with orchids, shoes and hose of cream colcr.
 Spring coats were few, but those that appeared were of the jacket va riety Gloves were to match the cos tunes.
 Man wore about the same sort of ;osaery ne has appeared in for years few appeared uncomfortable in what seemed to be higher collars than usual and many silk hats were brought out. Canes were numerous. The chilly weather withheld the pass ing of spats.
 Fifth avenue was crowded through out the fashionable district and at the conclusion of mid day church services thousands of persons Joined the throng of promenaders. It was notably eviden, that in ultra fashion able circles women withheld display ing their finery until warmer wealth err as previously exhibited spring costumes were noticeably sheer.
