A Confident Message

In his brief message to Congress the President correctly asEumes that public opinion i largely arrayed on the side of Canadian reciprocity. Nothing that can be said to resemble popular opposition has appeared in any quarter. It would be a mistake, however, to conclude that the pending agreement is to be accepted without controversy. The political farmers are yet to be heard from. The political fishermen will enter a solemn protest. The friends of the people who control the Lumber Trust, and the Paper Trust will want to catalogue their numerous troubles, last but not least, the perfectionists who seek at one session of Congress to regenerate the earth are certain to make a diversion. In this document, also .Mr. Taft takes notice of a certain professional 5iit ishiMii in Canada by emphasizing the fact that reciprocity is exclusively economic and commercial. A disclaimer of annexation ideas from ko higli a source will satisfy most people but it will not allay the excitement among the jingoes in Ottawa and London. The history of national absorptions reveals few cases in hicL they resulted from friendly relations. To extinguish a nation it is usually the rule t provoke animosity. Oue powerful reason for tho negotiation of the reciprocity treaty of 171 on our part was the fear of Southern slaveholders that it might otherwise become necessary to annex Canada. They wanted no more fjee territory. In no other way can the independence of the Dominion be so strongly guaranteed as by establishing close and cordial relations with its powerful neighbor. While our political farmers and fUhermen are fulminating, our greedy trusts bemoaning their fate and our ambitious radicals lamenting that nearly all legislative progress is collided with compromise, it. should not be forgotten that American sentiment is in truth very nearly a unit on this subject. Reciprocity has found favor among nearly all classes from Maine to California and from the Lakes to the fjitlf. In every section true farmers find in freer markets for grain, vegetables, fruits, horses, cattle and hheep, cottonseed oil, poultry, eggs and dairy product something that appeals to their interests. Most Americans must profit by cheaper lumber and paper. Free fish is more likely to revive a cornered New Lngland industry than It is to injure it. The few belated politicians and monopolists who are antagonistic, assisted by the worthy statesmen who demand the unattainable, may delay the result a few weeks, but they cannot defeat the movement now in progress.

HEN ROOSTS SAFE FARMERS GOT THIEF Wabash, Ind., April 7. Farmers in the locality two miles north of this city will sleep in peace tonight for the lirst- time in some weeks for they know their hen roosts will no longer be Invaded. The marauder has been having a gay time feasting on yellow legs, white Hrahmas and other choice samples of the hen tribe. Tie has partaken of his last banquet for he was shot today after a long trail had been followed by Dan Ileer and Frank Thompson. The thief was a huge wild eat. For several weeks he has held the farmers in terror of lass and caused them to sit up nights to watch for him. Their vigils proved fruitless, however, until Sunday's snow came. Kven a wild cat leaves a trail in snow and a day's hunt by the two men brought them reward. Hequicscat. ' A Comparison. Two friends met one day after a long absence.

STEAMSHIP WENT AGROUND IN FOG

New York. April 7. The mommoth steamship "Prinzess Irene." with seventeen hundred passengers aboard went aground off Long Island during a fog yesterday. A magnetic disturbance of the compass misguided the pilot. The shop probably will be floated by tlie high tide. The danger is slight, said a wireless telegram from the captain. KEEPING TAP ON THE CROPS The Way the Agricultural Department Gets Its Information. The details of the comprehensive system employed by the department of agriculture in gathering the crop Information from all over the country are interesting. There are 30.0O0 township correspondents scattered all over the Union, whose duty it is to go carefully over the territory and submit each month concrete information as to the condition ofnl! kinds of crops. In addition to this branch. 3,000 "county correspondents" send in separate reports from those of the township men. A state agent makes a further report direct from his agents, and an organization in direct communication with the department, comprising seventeen traveling "held agents." go about the country and make separate reports for groups of stntes. Special cotton correspondents are also employed to furnish accurate information concerning the cottou yield. Five different reports are sent to Washington each month by five different sets of correspondents. This safeguards the government crop reports fer accuracy in local crop reports and keeps the great crop account and cost estimates for the millions of. American farmers. These records are sent to the agricultural department. Officials of the bureau of statistics aud a board go over all the five reports from five distinct groups of correspondents, and from all the figures a crop report estimate is distributed to 70.000 postoffices throughout the country every month. National Magazine. St. Peter's, Rome. The cost of the famous St. Teter's in Rome was over seventy millions of our money. IN HISTORY'

WHAT OTHERS SAY

FOR THE CITY CHILDREN. From tlie I'tica Press. The approach of spring brings the summer playground enterprise into renewed prominence. It is not at all probable that anything will make it too prominent or too popular, because it is an enterprise deserving of generous support and ont attended by substantial and valuable results. It is only within a few years that I'tica has paid much attention to things of this sort. Previously the impression obtained that this was a city of such size that the country with its grass and flowers and trees and streams was only a short distance at farthest, and that there was no need for interior parks or playgrounds. The natural result was that as the citygrew and the flat dwellers increased, many streets filled and children had no other place to play. It does not require a great deai of argument to show i hat a city street is no place for children, that it is not only dangerous on account of the physical injury which may come from passing vehicles, but as well from the dirt and dust whicii are unavoidable. DUTY OF TEACHER AND PARENT From the I-twience (Mass.) Sun. Teachers have too limited knowledge of the home life of the child; parents, too limited knowledge of the school life. Many parents fee I that they are doing their wliole duty toward their children and the school by eeasiona'.ly visiting the school in which' their child is a pupil. "This is well, but it fails to accomplis'.i the desired end, that of placing the teacher, the pupil and the parent in a harmonious relationship. It is much better for the parents to call upon the teacher for the express purpose of getting acquainted with her and to help the teacher to ;et acquainted with her child. DID NOT DRIVE THE MULES. From the New York Tribune. Champ Clark didn'n drive his pair of mules to the Capitol, after all. The weather bureau treated him as badly as if he rad selected March i for the performance, and he was forced to sacrifue a symbolic pageant to which the country had looked forward withj zest. The Washington public was downcast, and no doubt the mules were also. NO DUST. From the Baltimore Sun. One thing about this weather, there isn't any dust. GOOD BEGINNING. From the Philadelphia Press. The Republican minority in Congress have begun well by choosing a Mann to lead them. EASTER BONNETS. From the Elizabeth Times. This is the time for wives to be particularly "sweet and considerate." The Easter headgear must be purchased before long. Gihsra's Casea. Some of the oases of the Sahara are quite large, one of them being 120 miles long and fifty-eight miles wide. The springs are of various kinds hot, cold, mineral or gaseous. The Kargha oasis dwellers raise grain, onions and dates, but live on the least possible amount of food, work and reasoning power. Marshes abound and fever prevails. "I Suffered Years With My Back." Backache resulting from weak kidneys, a bad cold or other cause, usually renders the sufferer unfit for work and often results in permanent disability. "I suffered for years with my back, or kidney trouble, and have tried a number of remedies from different physicians. More than a year ago, one of our local druggists induced me to try Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills and after using them some three months I found a decided improvement in my kidneys, and I am glad to say that I hope soon to be fully restored to health." J. P. ALLEN, Ex-Judge City Court, Glasgow, Ky. As long as pain is present in any part of the body rest is impossible and the system becoming weakened is exposed to any form of disease to which the sufferer may be inclined. Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills by steadying the irritated nerve centers, make refreshing sleep possible, thereby enabling the body to recover lost strength. As a remedy for pain of any description Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills are unsurpassed. Sold by all druggists under a guar, antee assuring the return of the price of, the first box if no benefit results.

The Nu-.va by Windmill. In certain parts of Holland births, marriages and deaths are frequently announced by toe windmills instead of in the newspapers. When a miller gets married be stops his mill with the arms or t-ie wheel in an oblique position and with the sails unfurled. His friends and guests often do likewise with their mills in token of the ceremony. To Indicate a birth the wheel is stepped witfj the arms in a slanting position, but at a more acute angle than for a mcrriage and with the two upper pails unfurled. Should a miller die the sails of his mill are all furled and the wheel Is turned round until the arms assume an upright cross, in which position they are left until after the funeral has taken place.

What to Do for a Sickly Child-Trial Free Many a mother has written thanks after following these suggestions

It has always been a mooted ciuoetion ju;;t what to do with an ailing child, for mothers disagree and few doctors specialize in it. But this much is certain, that in the majority of eases faulty bowel movement is at the bottom of the trouble. The first thing, then, to -to with a cornplaining child is to give it a laxative, rot a mere fruit-stew or such thing tut a genuine, scientific laxative. Many are recommended but few have been found worth-. Among the latter none stands out more prominently than Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which mothers in all ports of the country have used for a generation. It can be obtained of any druggist at fifty cents and one dollar a bottle. No child will refuse It as it is not a badtasting and violent cathartic pill, but a mild, gentle, non-griping liquid.

ARTISTS' EMBLEMS. In Whistler's Butterfly Could B Found the Monogram J. W. The mystic emblem or device of a sort of Whistlerized butterfly was adopted in the sixties by the eccentric genius James Abbott Whistler, who changed hi nr.nie later to James McNeill Whistler. Close study will reveal that this peculiar scroll is really a monogram of J. W. The earliest of the etchings to bear the butterfly Is "Chelsea Wharf (1$03. but many paintings and etchings after that date are signed "Whistler." Artists hare sometimes signed their pictures in some distinct form instead of their names. It generally was done wheu the name might suggest some emblem or symbol. Thus Ilieronynius Cock demarked two fighting cocks on his panels; Marlotto Albertlnelli signed a cross with two interlaced rings, referring to the sacerdotal duties to which at one time of his life he devoted himself; Martiu Rota, a whtH-l; Pietor do Kyng. a ring with a diamond: Giovanni Dossl, a bone; Pel Mazo Martinez, a hammer; Lionello Spada. a sword. Sometimes caprice dictated the selec tion. as when Jacopo de Barberl used the caduceus, or Mercury rod; Ilendrik de Pies an owl. Lucn Cranach a crowned serpent. Cornelius Engelbrechtsen a peculiar device resembling a weather vane and Hans Holbein a skull.

BUY A WAVERLY Electric Harry Wood AGENT: :Phoae 3044 Ice Dealers Ask Consumers' Co-operation Rettig & Johnson Made Suggestions to Belter l ie Service The general public is no more Interested in good ice delivery service than are the ice dealers who are responsible for the work. This is especially true in a town where one company makes all the deliver ies, for the attitude of the public toward the one company is more critical than if there were competition. However, experience has shown that under one management the delivery service has on the whole been more dependable and satisfactory. For the wagon routes are shorter, the time of delivery more uniform, and the risk of missing customers less than where three or four sets of wagons are serving scattered consumers over longer routes. The one weakness of the present ice delivery system is the selling of ice for cash by the wagon men. It is this fact of handling a certain amount of money each day, that offers a constant temptation to the drivers. We have frequently seen young men who had always been honest and trustworthy become dishonest and demoralized by this temptation, and that of accepting free drinks from saloons, which always expected favors in return. The price of cash ice was made fifty cents per hundred last year. In order to do away with the cash business. But there are still a few families who have preferred to pay cash at the higher rate, possibly on the theory that they got better weight or better service. We do not believe, however, that they get sufficient advantage, if they get any, to offset the increased price paid, to say nothing of the annoyances of making change, not having change, disputes about temporary charges in such cases, etc., to which the cash customer is subjected. Thus it is, that while the cash customer reaps no advantage from that plan, the cash he pays becomes an element of demoralization in the ice trade generally.. For the possession of the cash sometimes tempts the wagon man to either give somebody short weight, or to take out extra unearned coupons, so he may absorb a part of the cash and still be able to "check up" for his day's work. For the accommodation of small consumers or thoss who prefer to pay oftener we have prepared small coupon books 3 CO pounds at $1.20, and 500 pounds at $2.00 which can be bought at our office, 13 S. 9th St., or will be delivered by our collector to any part of the city on notice. The prices for ice for the coming season are the same as in the past. For family trade, to those taking 100 pounds or more at each delivery, 35 cents per hundred; to those taking less than that amount at any delivery, 40 cents per hundred. The prices to other classes of consumers range from 15 cents to 30 cents per hundred, depending on the kind and quantity of ice used. What we particularly urge, in the best interest of all concerned, is that all our consumers co-operate with us by using the coupon books the coming season, and giving this plan a fair trial. We believe it will result in the most satisfactory service that this city has ever had. RETTIG & JOHNSON. April 1st, 1911.
