SURELY HARD MAN TO PLEASE
Artist Did Hla Beat, but Somehow
Managing Editor Would Not
Be Satiafied.
An artist was drawing a cartoon
wherein the flag of our nation played
l large part. He drew the flag, first
time, with five stars In the blue field
ind took It to the managing editor,
who promptly let out a yelp.
“Wadye think this country la,” said
the managing editor, "a trust?”
‘‘What’B the trouble?” asked the art-
ist.
"Trouble,” bellowed the managing
editor, "why, we need more stare,
stars, stars’”
So the artist brought the picture
back and this time he had 117 atarB in
It by actual count.
The magaging editor felt his head
and choked slightly.
“What do you think you’re draw-
ing?” he asked as last.
“You’re the hardest man to please
I ever met In my life,” said the artist
Indignantly; "first It’s too few and
then It’s too many. How many Btare
do you want, anyway?”

TO KEEP THE SKIN CLEAR
For more than a generation, Cutl*
cura Soap and Cutlcura Ointment have
done more for pimples, blackheads
and other unsightly conditions of the
complexion, red, rough, chapped
hands, dandruff, itching, scaly scalps,
and dry, thin and falling hair than any
other method. They do even more for
akln-tortured and disfigured Infants
and children. Although Cutlcura Soap
and Ointment are sold by druggists
and dealers throughout the world, a
liberal sample of each, with 32-page
book on the care of the skin and hair
will be sent post-free, on application
to “Cutlcura," Dept. L, Boston.

Washington, D. C.—World-wide Big-
inflcance attaches to the visit soon to.
be made by Secretary Knox, at the
direction of President Taft, to the
countries bordering on the Carribean
sea.
European diplomats, recalling a re-
cent speech of Mr. Knox before the
New York state bar association on the
Monroe doctrine, look upon the pro-
posed trip with more than a passive
Interest. That speech now Is being in-
terpreted as the latest notice given
by the United States, that the prin-
ciple of “America for Americans,”
must be observed.
Central American diplomats were
unanimous in their statements Sunday
night that the secretary’s visit not
only would allay International doubt
as to the Intent of the United States
toward thoB'e countries but would warn
off possible encroachment of nations in
the other hemisphere.
The state of unrest in many aLtin-
American countries, the efforts of the
state department to maintain neutral-
ity as between the republics of the
south and its endeavors to unravel
their financial tangles have proceeded,
it is said, not without the potential
Influences of world powers.

War Planes To Be Built
Washington—Undismayed by the
small appropriation allowed by the
bonus for carrying on aeronautics in
the army during 1913 the war depart-
ment recently let contracts for five
war aeroplanes. These contracts were
let out of the appropriation allowed for
this year. v
It will probably be several months
before the Inachines are delivered at
the army headquarters at College
Park, Md., and the army aeronautical
squad then will be back from Augusta,
Georgia.
Brigadier General Allen, chief signal
officer, said the war department soon
would order several more aeroplanes
The signal corps is handicapped in
Its aeronautic work to some extent
by the lack of officers avalMblo for
detail -as aeronauts. By tho time the
five new machines reaeh College Park
It is expected enough officers will have
been detailed to aeronautics to handle
tho machines. As soon as more of-
ficers are detailed undoubtedly further
contracts will be let under the 1913
appropriation.
COST OF GRAIN
GROWING IN
CENTRAL CANADA
A careful canvass made' of a num-
ber of men farming in a large way
Indicates that even with the extreme
expense of harvesting the crop, which
has been caused by the bad weather
and difficulty in threshing, wheat has
been produced and put on the market
for less than 55 cents a bushel. The
average freight rate is not over 13
cents per bushel. This would make
the cost of production and freight G8
cents and would leave the farmer an
actual margin on his low grade wheat
of 17Vi cents and for his high-grade
wheat of 19Vi cents; and though this
Is not as large a profit as the farmer
has every right to expect, It Is a profit
not to be despised, and which should
leave a very fair amount of money to
his credit when all the expenses of
the year have been paid, unless the
value of low-grade wheat Blaks very
much below its present level. A mat-
ter of-importance to the prospective
settler is that of the cost of produc-
tion. The following table has been
prepared after careful Investigation:
Interest on 320 acres, value
$30 per acre, 3 years at 6
per cent interest..........$1,720.00
Interest on horses, machin-
ery, wagons, ploughs, har-
rows, etc., to operate 320
acres—say $2,500 for 3
years ........... 450.00
Getting 320 acres ready for
crop first year, doing one's
own work, with hired help,
about $3.50 per acre....... 1,120.00
Getting 320 acres ready for
crop, second and third
year, about $1.25 per acre
per year, or $2.50 per acre
2 years one’s own work and
hired help................. 800.00
Seed per year, wheat, per
acre $1.25, 3 years......1,200.00
Seeding, 320 acres, 25 cents
per acre, 3 years.......... 240.00
Twine, 320 acres, 30 cents
per acre, 3 years.......... 288.00
Harvesting, 320 acres, 30
cents ner acre, 3 years.... 288.00
Marketing, 320 acres, esti-
mate 20 bushels per acre
per year for 3 years, 3
cents per bushel, or 9 cents
per bushel for 3 years..... 576.00
Threshing 320 acres, estimate
20 bushels per acre per
year for 3 years, 6 cents S.
per bushel per year or 18
cents for 3 years.........1,152.00

“You ought to be very careful. That

"Think so?”
“It has a regular graveyard sound.’
“Good gracious.”
"Awfully dnngerous time for colds,
influenza, pneumonia and quick con-

“Eh?”
“Yes, a friend of mine took a cold,
not half so bad as yours, last week,
and In three days he was dead!”
‘My stars!”
‘Fast. The doctor said my friend
might have pulled through if he hadn’t
worried so much. Take my advice
and try not to think about it.”
Unjustifiable Suspicion.
The colonel had caught Rastus red-
handed, coming out of the hen coop
with three fat pullets under his coat.
“So,” he said. ‘Tve caught you ut
last stealing my hens, have 1?”
“Whut, me, suh?” replied Rastus, in
pained surprise, “Why, Marse Colonel,
suh, I hain’t a-stealin’ no hens, suh.”
“Then what are you doing with
them under your coat?” demanded the
colonel.
“Why, Marse Colonel, hit look to
me so like it war gwine to snow, suh,
dot ah went out to de coop to bring
deni hens in by de kitchen flah, suh,'
to keep 'em from gittln’ froze, suh,”
said the old man, with a deep sigh, to

pected.—llarjier's Weekly.

Bryan Ready to Testify
San Antonio, Tex.—William Jen-
nings Bryan Intimated his willingness
to testify before the house committee
•which will investigate charges of the
existence of a money trust. He de-
clared he would reserve anything he
might Bay until he should appear be-
fore the committee.
Mr. Bryan declared that the resolu-
tion introduced recently by Represen-
tative Pujo in connection with the
money trust investigation vindicated
the position taken by Congressman
Henry.
“The Pujo resolution,” he snid, "Is
not comprehensive enough to me yet-
It shows that there was reason to
doubt the banking committee’s sym-
pathy with the investigation desired.
The question now Is how complete the
Investigation will be."
Make Officers Work
Leavenworth, Kan.—Officers at Fort
Leavenworth are not to lend a hot

day to keep themselves to fit physical
condition to perform active duty with
troopB under war conditions. The or-
Strlke Threat Withdrawn
Chicago—Tho strike by which street
rallwuy employes of Chicago have
threatened for several days to tie up
nil traffic on surface and elevated rail-
ways, will not occur. Following a
conference with officials of tho rail-
way company Saturday the union of-
ficials announced that all their griev-
ances had been referred to certain of-
ficials of the railway companies and
that In these men the "unions hud ex-
plicit confidence.”
By wheat crop farm 320 acres
for 3 years, average 20
bushels per acre per year
for 3 years, or a total of 60
bushels, = 19,200 bushels at
80 cents per bushel......$15,360.00
Balance to credit of farm aft-
er 3 years operation, $2,-
563.00 per year........... 7,526.00
"To operate 480 acres would cost
less in proportion, as the plant re-
quired for 320 acres would do for the
larger farm, and the interest on plant
for the extra 160 acres would be
saved.”
The figures given may he open to
criticism, but they will be found to
be reasonably accurate, with a fair-
ness given to the expense columns.
There are those who profess to do
the work at a much less cost than
those given.
He’d Be There.
Lee Harrison says he was standing
at Forty-third street and Broadway
when a young man wearing one of
those Poughkeepsie looks approached
him and said;
"Excuse me, but I want to find my
cousin, who lives in New York.”
"Very well,” replied Lee. "It will
be all right this time. What’s your
Aousin’s name?”
'Cohen.”
“Say,” said Lee, grabbing him by
ihe arm, "come-out hero in the middle
of the street and yell ‘Cohen.’ You’ll
probftbly be able to find him in the
crowd that answers."
