A BENEFIT TO FARMERS.

The benefits that will undoubtedly result to farmers from tho recent corporation of the International Harvester Company which took over tha business of the five leading harvester manufacturers have probably not been considered by a large portion of the farming community. The economical necessity of a consolidation of the interests of manufacturers and those of their farmer customers must be apparent to any one who understands the present situation.

The increased and Increasing cost of material, manufacturing and selling—the latter in consequence of extreme and bitter competition between manufacturers and their several selling agents—has made the business unprofitable. The two alternatives left for the manufacturers were either the increasing of the prices of machines or the reduction of the cost of manufacture and sales. The latter could only be accomplished by concentrating the business in one company. As can readily be seen, the forming of the new company was not a stock Jobbing operation but a centering of mutual interests. There is no watered stock; the capitalization is conservative and represented by actual and tangible assets. There is no stock offered to the public, it having all been subscribed and paid for by the manufacturers and their associates. The management of the International Harvester Company is in the hands of well known, experienced men. The officers are: President, Cyrus H. McCormick; Chairman Executive Committee, Charles Deering; Chairman Finance Committee, George W. Perkins; Vice-Presidents, Harold F. McCormick, James Deering, Wm. H. Jones and John J. Glessner; Secretary and Treasurer, Richard F. Howe. The members of the Board of Directors are as follows: Cyrus Bentley, William Deering, Charles Deering, James Deering, Eldridge M. Fowler, E. H. Gary, John J. Glessner, Richard F. Howe, Abram M. Hyatt, William H. Jones, Cyrus H. McCormick, Harold F. McCormick, George W. Perkins, Norman B. Ream, Leslie N. Ward, Paul so. Cravath.

The International Harvester Company owns five of the largest harvester plants In existence. The Champion, Deering, McCormick, Milwaukee and Plano—plants that have been producing nearly or quite 90 per cent of the harvesting machines of the world. It also owns timber and coal lands, blast furnaces and a steel plant; it has a new factory in the process of construction in Canada. It is believed that the cost of producing grain, grass and corn harvesting machines will be so reduced that the present low prices can be continued, and that consequently the results cannot be otherwise than beneficial to the farmer. To maintain the present prices of these machines means to continue and increase the development of the agriculture of the world, for no one cause tas contribut? ed or can contribute more to this development than the cheapness of machines for harvesting grains.

She Cornered Him.

The query editor was troubled, not to say angry. “Hang it allt” he exclaimed as he read the letter addressed to his department, “my wife has been asking me this question for the last week, and I refused to be bothered ” He looked at the letter again and jumped out of his chair. “Thunder and guns," he cried, “it’s her handwriting, too. Now that she has learned the trick she’ll make me settle every social, household, and historical question that comes up, and ril be right on hand to take the blame if I make a mistake." For a long time he remained buried in thought. Then he resigned.— Brooklyn Slagle.

SECRETARY SHAW SOLVES PROBLEM

Evolves Plan to Supply Currency Wherewith to Move the Crops. INCREASES THE CIRCULATION National Banks Are Requested to Issue Notes to the Full Amount of Their Capital Stock, Thus Furnishing Sufficient Cash. Secretary of the Treasury Shaw has taken steps to insure the movement of the enormous crops soon to be harvested without causing any stringency in the money market. - The matter has been under consideration by the secretary for some time, and he has decided that the best way out of the difficulty is to induce the national banks to increase their circulation. Such a suggestion was made to the banks some time ago and it is understood they have responded in a satisfactory manner. Can issue Notes. The national banks can increase their circulation by $332,000,000 as they are capitalized at $700,000,000, and have issued notes amounting tc but $368,000,000. The banks can issue notes to the full value of their capital if they deposit United States bonds in the treasury to cover the notes. Acting Secretary Ailes, by authority of Secretary Shaw, who is in New York, made the following statement: Meets Favorable Response. “The secretary recently invited some of the larger national banks in the principal cities to order additional amounts of circulating notes to be printed. National banks are entitled to issue circulation to the full amount of their capital. The secretary has hoped to introduce an element ot elasticity into the present system. Hie suggestions to the various banks in the larger cities that they make preparation for additional circulation havs met with favorable response. To Be used in Emergency. “It is not his intention that they should issue this additional circulation all at once, but only in case of actual necessity and emergency. He does not propose to inflate the currency in any sense, but to be prepared to meet the actual currency demand should one arise. With this in view those banks which have made arrangements to deposit United States bonds as security for such additional circulation have sent in their orders, and the secretary has had all branches of the treasury service busily engaged in expediting the preparation of the notes pending a possible emergency. To Prevent Stringency. Of course, it will not be necessary to issue so much currency, and the secretary does not wish any more printed than is absolutely necessary. He simply wants the currency made elastic enough to meet the demands. To prevent a money stringency during the crop movement, Secretary Shaw stands ready to co-operate with the banks and to do everything in his power. Shortly there will be heavy demands on the banks for currency, and at this season there is always fear of money being scarce. Has Solved Problem. This important question has occupied the attention of the secretary oi the treasury for some time, and the problem has practically been solved for this season. If the banks do not increase their circulation enough to supply the demand the secretary can deposit some of the government receipts in the national banks to tide over the busy season. ' •

JUDGE’S REMARKS ARE CAUSTIC

Severely Scores Men Who Plead Guilty in Michigan Fraud Case. J. R. Hunter, J. W. Woodworth, H. P. Kauffer and S. N. Bickerstaff of the Henderson-Ames company of Kalamazoo appeared in the Circuit court at Lansing, Mich., and pleaded guilty to the charge of conspiracy to defraud the state of Michigan by their connection with the military clothing frauds. The charge against them was changed from perjury in connection with their testimony before the grand jury that investigated the frauds, to conspiracy to defraud the state. Hunter. Woodworth and Kauffer were each fined $2,000 by Judge Wiest and Bickerstaff was fined $1,200 with the alternative in each case of two years in prison if the fines were not paid. In passing sentence Judge Wiest scored the respondents unmercifully. He said that they in the eyes of the court, and that the court was induced to impose fines, not from pity, but from the fact that for a century courts have recognized the facts that accomplices arc user’ by states in the aid of justice are titled to consideration.

Brooklyn Hobo Was Renowned for His Display of Native Humor. The genus tramp is not always tho sodden-minded wretch he is frequently depicted. Some arte bright In wit and quick at repartee. A prominent citizen of Brooklyn, who, though charitably inclined has ideas that charity should not be thoughtlessly dispensed, was walking the other day In a street where repairs to the asphalt pavement were going forward on a rather large scale. He was accosted by a burly specimen of tho "ould dart," who said: “Boss, can’t you give me the price of a meal?" “Why don’t you go to work?" asked the citizen. “Work, Is it?" exclaimed the burly specimen, casting a swift glance over the street, on which not a blade of green grass was to be seen. Then, with a twinkle In his blight eyes, he asked: "Do you want your asphalt mowed?" The citizen’s sense of humor was stronger than his theories of charity. He pulled a quarter from his pocket, left It in the palm of the “burly" and went his way chuckling.

Sometimes I could hardly get up when I was down the pain In my back was so great “1 tried many things but could not get anything to help me or give me relief till a good friend of mine advised me to try Dodd’s Kidney Pills. "After I had used two boxes the pain in my back bad all left me and I was as well as ever I was. “I am very thankful to Dodd’s Kidney Pills for what they have done for me and I will never forget my friend for having suggested this remedy.’’

The fresh-air children have many novel experiences In the country. Here Is one: The wife of a prominent citizen of Lacon, 111., entertained a boy at her home for two weeks recently and one Sunday she dressed him In his best and took him to church. He behaved nicely during a part of the service, but finally got uneasy and set up a howl that proved that he was from Chicago. The lady tried to find out what was the matter but failed and was compelled to take him home. When she got him there she was taken back to find that in dressing him she had put his trousers on hlndside before and he was crying because he couldn’t get his hands in his pockets.

Tissot’s Religious Bend.

It Is a remarkable fact that before he began to paint religious pictures M. Tissot was chiefly known for portraits of pretty women and drawingroom subjects. One day, so the story goes, he was in a London church, when he felt an irresistible desire to depict religious subjects, and the pleasure which he derived from his first work of this character inspired him with the idea of producing his famous series of paintings. Tlssot’s water colors illustrating the life of Christ were exhibited in this city, and were ultimately sold to the Brooklyn Institute for $60,000, the money being raised largely by popular subscription. A French firm had previously paid a very large sum for the right of reproducing the pictures.—New York Times.
