The Little Pig TO Market
(St. Paul Dispatch)

The little pig that went to- market has it all over
the little pig that stayed at home, in numbers just
now Last week 1888 hogs were marketed at
the seven principal markets and for the week to
date 25050O have arrived. Compare those receipts
with those of year ago. 127,063 and 118,8O3, re-
spectvey and it is not difficult to understand why
hogs are selling at and cents.
Henry C. Carlson head of Armour & Co.'s hog
department, takes advantage of the drop in prices
consequent to the flooded Market to point to the
bargain the consumer has before him in buying
pork. He has the figures to back him, which show
that pork ribs, selling year ago for 1876 pound
to the retailer, now being sold to him for 1876
a pound. The price of shoulders is 22.1 per cent
below last year and that of spareribs 176 lower
than year ago.
The consumer is getting the benefit. Pork chops
arc quoted by st. Paul retailers at from % to q
cents pound, and other cuts even cheaper. But
the farmer is not taking just roseate view OF
it. He may be compelled to clean up the feed lot
before the coming of hot weather; he may antici-
pate shortage of corn; he may have any number
of sound reasons for sending his pigs to marke,
unanimously. But the result is unfortunate fol-
him.
| Of course the remedy for it is plain. Let him
diversity! Let him restrict production! This one
crop hog business is bad. Let him balance it by
raising little wheat! The fact is, no matter
which way he turns he finds himself confronted by
the same probem-no protection of any sort in his
marketing, whether it is wheat or hogs, corn OF
| cotton.

Our Porous Frontiers

Only $50 men stand guard our 1000 miles of
Canadian and Mexican borders to halt the nva-
sion of aliens who slip through in violation of the
law and in consequence it has been estimated that
1000 enter illegally every day while conservative
estimate places the number at 100000 year.
Which leads to the question-how valuable are
our immigration laws which stop at front doors
tbpse who would be desirable citizens while through
our back doors sneak all the undesirables Of the
world?
And the condition is one which has given rise to
very lucrative profession-the bootlegging of
aliens. This traffic has its agents in the capitals

In all the mile-long stretch of
crumbling stone buildings on the
rbad from Toul to Pont-a- M0usson
that were used by the Americans as
an evacuation hospital during the
war there are just two residents
now--Madame Felicia Brisson and
her goat, "Lolottc."
An American reporter who knew
the region during the war recently
stumbled over Lolottc and the ma
dame, and got Lolottc to stand for
an interview.
"Commente hellezvous? This was
the reporters lead.
"Eoila-ah- an an ah." answered Lo-
lotte. She was nothing if not non
committal. Besides. Lolotte was
closely, though somewhat askancc.
Bad Accent
"How's tricks!'' The reporter
lapsed into English.
Madame Brisson smiled.
"Lolotte don't parley any Ang-

much because her accent is bad"
The reporter was undaunted. He
figured he had an exclusive yarn
and hung on.

The Rubber Exchange

The operation of the Rubber Exchange of New
York has proven to be somewhat uncomfortable for
Great Britain with her monopoly of the supply
OF crude rubber, and credit is due to Secretary of
commerce Herbert Hoover for the conservation
policy which he instgated about eighteen months
ITO and which has borne fruit in a considerable
increase in the use of reclaimed rubber.
Is only now that the British rubber producer is
realizing that the move was not one of propaganda
or bluff. but rather the application of American
economic retaliation against uneconomic pro-
cedure on the part of one in temporary control of
a. situation. Certainly whatever may be said in ia.
vor of the Inauguration of a restriction policy on
the part of the British five years ago, there has
been nothing in the last three years to justify its
continuance. Knowing this the British rubber in
terests must feel rather uncomfortable as they
realize that America has been able to 60 on with
out the usual imports of raw rubber.
It has been in this situation that the Rubber Ex-
change has demonstrated it's usefulness. Manufac-
turers seized the opportunity of selling forward de-
livery on the exchange in substantial quantities.
and in addition quite sizable business done
for European houses well as eastern shippers.
The value of rubber to modern civilization can
not be gagged. It is self-evdent, however, that it
ranks among the first in Importance in our scheme
of life today 1t is used in a thousand and one
things where it is of the utmost Importance. OF
course, the greatest single for rubber is in
tomobe tires yet the electrical industry is almost
as dependent upon it is the automobile indus
try. Advanced methods of retaining rubber will
help, of course, but some method of gaining an ad-
justment with the British rubber interests should
be found to guarantee the future supply.

The Trail That Led From Siskiyou
(Minneapo1is Trihune>

The murder trail which began at Siskyou Ore,
nearly four years ago came to an abrupt end We'd
nesday. The sentencing of the D'Autremont twins,
Roy and Ray climaxed one Of the most intensive
and battling manhunts in the history of the United
States. The trail had it's inception i'm On railroad
tunnel near Siskiyou, where mail clerk and three
trainmen slain in an attempted holdup It
wandered vaguely at first, suddenly took definite
shape as suspicion cast the three D'Autre
mont brothers, and has since been followed through
two hemsphercs with desperate determination for
justice which few crimes have inspired. Hugh,
the youngest of the three brothers, arrested
in the Philippines few months ago.
The Oregon holdup was nice example of what
many are pleased to call "the perfect crime" It
had the earmarks of technique inspired by
ter criminal mind. For days there was expert
sleuthing along blind trails. For days the fear
expressed that the murderers had covered their
tracks completely and with consummate cunning.
A chemist was consulted From an article of cloth
ing, from a wood shaving, from hair he pieced
together the story of three lumberjacks who had
deserted the forests for fling at ilgotten wealth.
Attention was finally turned to the D'Autremonts.
Postal authorities and private detectives took up
the trail grimly pledging themselves to see it to
the end And the trail led as the world now knows,
through devious q maze of false hopes and clues
as manhunt ever produced.
There is no such thing as supernatural. There
is no such thing master criminal mind There
is no such thing q perfect crime. Every crime

monts.
