Because the European supply of willow rods has been largely , cut off several American manufacturers of willow furniture and baskets have asked the department of agriculture for the addresses of persons In this country who have taken up willow growing. For some years the depart ment has distributed willow cutting of Imported varieties with a view to developing the production of high grade willow rods In the United States. The usual Imports of willows come chiefly from England, Belgium, Hol land, France and Germany, but these sources have been practically closed for several months. An Aggrieved Relative. "I lost a couple of chickens last night," said the man who lives In the suburbs. "Well, boss," replied Mr. Erastus Plnkley, "I specks I knows who found 'em. 1 done tol' my brother Sam 'bout dem chickens an' requested him apo dal to let 'em alone tell I gits my night oil next Wednesday." Gen. T. Coleman du Pont, who bought from J. P. Morgan ft Co. the controlling Interest in the Equitable Life Assurance company. Death's Touch Gentle. In the light of modern surgery, there Is much to reassure our faith In the far reaching provisions of nature to protect all life from undergoing tor ture as great as we may at times Im agine possible. We may now believe that death comes only with the same quieting hand that la laid upon us as we sleep; that the summons, "to Join the Innumerable caravan" Is never a clarion call of tremendous conscious agony, but Is rather a quiet drifting, a gentle touch without sound or hurt, like a door that is softly closed. Immensity of Yellow Empire. The total area of China is estimated at 4,278,352 square miles. A census of the kliid takna In wosiern nations has never, been attempted In China, and the nearest approach to a reliable es timate is probably the census of house holds (not Individuals) taken by the Chinese ministry of Interior In 1910. Assuming 5.5 persons to a household, which, by a test census In various parts of the country was found to be a fair average, the population totaled 831,000,000, Including 1,600,000 as the probable population of Tibet BRITISH ARTILLERY HELPS SERBIANS nix t S7ox.. . l M& British artillerymen with a heavy-callbered gun, loaned to the Serbian by the British admiralty, proceeded to a position on a hill near the Drlna and helped strengthen the effectiveness of the Serbian attack. HARRY THAW ON WAY TO COURT " N-K'-'' WHAT THE PUBLIC NEED3. "Life Is getting to be too compli cated for the use of narcotics," said Dr. S. P. Kramer, the noted surgeon, in a recent address at the Rlcketts Research Laboratory, Cincinnati. "The time was when the farmer could drive to town and get tanked up and his friends would put him In the buggy and the sober horse would carry him home. But you can not do that now with automobiles. We know that most of the automobile accidents are after dinners where alcohol has been served, and that not always r. ex cess." After describing the effects of alco hol as similar to those of chloroform or ether, except for the fact that It works more slowly, he considered Its effect upon efficiency in various fields of endeavor, and showed charts prov ing the lowered working power Of compositors, bookkeepers and soldiers after they have taken liquor. "But a friend said to me," remarked Dr. Kramer, continuing the same Una of argument, "'Doctor, you must know that Mr. Blank, the Jury lawyer, ia more eloquent in his cups, and that the celebrated actor was more Im pressive when drinking.' I asked this man if he would want bis chauffeur, his locomotive engineer, his surgeon, to drink. He said he would not. Now the orator and the actor are In vocal pursuits. Alcohol makes them more passionate. But tbe Judge on the bench knows that the lawyer is less capable of keen analysts when in bis cups, and the trained dramatic critic will tell you that the drinking actor Is not coming up to what he Bhould. These men are like the court Jesters. The fact is that the higher centers are off the Job. The governor is not acting and the engine runs wild. That is all. "No one nowadays thinks drunken ness Is well. What the public needs Is Instruction about the destructive effect of moderate Indulgence." EMPTY JAILS. The following testimony to the ad vantages of prohibition appeared la one of the newspapers of Sussex coun ty, Delaware: "The county Jail at Georgetown Is without a prisoner, and Sheriff Jacob West Is Idle. The turnkey Is on his vacation, chickens are roosting In the cells and the Jail yard will probably be planted In early corn unless another applicant appears. The lone prisoner, Elwood Armstrong, who was afraid to stay by himself, was paroled for two years after having confessed to steal ing five dozen eggs." Further testimony as to the work ings of prohibition comes from Kala mazoo, Mich. The Gazette of that city on April 5 contains a paragraph headed, "Kalamazoo Without Crime for 48 Hours Crimeless Period of City's History Follows Knockout of John Barleycorn," and the Item reads: "'Rooms for rent. Apply within.' This is the text of a sign which will likely be tacked on the front door of central police station in another week If the period of quiet continues. Not a cell door In the station house has been opened during the last 48' hours. The 'bull pen' is as barren and quiet as an abandoned country church. There has not been a single drunk ar rested since Sunday afternoon. Crime In general appears to bo at a standstill." BOYS AND BREWERIES. A man was trying to convince an other that because of the vested Inter ests involved tho people had no right to close the breweries. His friend answered thus: "I have three boys. By the time I graduate them from col lege they will have cost me about ten thousand dollars apiece. Every In terest of the brewery and everything" that the brewery stands for Is dlamet-' rlcally opposed to and threatens the Investment that I have made In my boys. No doubt the brewer has more than thirty thousand Invested In his plant, but I am going to safeguard my own Interests firBt. I shall vote dry within ten minutes after the polls open If I can get my ballot by that time." JOHN BARLEYCORN SENTENCED. In pronouncing sentence on over one hundred men, Including the mayor of Terre Haute, Ind., for conspiracy in election frauds, Judge Anderson of the United States district court passed sentence as well on John Barleycorn. He said: "My no.. Ion Is that tbe saloon will have to no. I believe that the time will come when the people will rise up and smash the saloon, at least as we have It now. The evi dence in this case showed that the saloons were the center of nearly all the corruption in the election at Terrs Haute." PRINTERS AND WHISKY. "More printers are harmed by whis ky than by all the insanitary shops In the world," President Wright of the Typographical union No. 16 of Chicago, Is reported to have recently said. "Every week dozens of Jobless printers come to our roller committee for aid, medical and financial. Whisky Is their trouble." INCREASED TAXES. When the saloonkeeper gots return on his Investment, the taxpayer gets an Increase In his assessment THE WORLD MOVES. It used to be "Drunk as a lord- Now it Is "Sober as n king." Thus the Philadelphia Record 7aa op a hundred years of social evolution, from the five-bottle roarers of the times of Pitt and Fox to the butter milk and grape-Juice conservatives of the present Harry K. Thaw (rigat) on his way to the courtroom where he Is on trial as to his sanity. WAR AND RUM. War Is almost as creel and excuse less as rum. I am In favor of world wide prohibition against both these scourges. "Buffalo Bill."
