The world is rapidly approach-
ing the point where it will recog-
nize that more leisure, rather
than more pay, is what we need.
What profiteth all this hurly-
burly rustle after the dollar if we
can’t get time to stop and look at
a sunset occasionally? Some of
our best friends of labor are say-
ing that they would now rather
see a shorter day for working
men than increased wages. Up to
a rather high limit, increased in-
come only increases your wants,
without satisfying them; where-
as increased leisure gives you
time for cultivating the human
side of life.

WANT THE PRESIDENT TO SPEAK.
Every Democratic nominee for public
office, especially in the northern states, who
is in a tight place, is calling upon President
Wilson, asking him to come into their res-
pective localities and make a political speech
this fall. Representative A. Mitchell Palmer,
who hopes to relieve Senator Boise Penrose
of the Pennsylvania Senatorial toga, has
made a strong plea to the President, and it
is conjectured that in view of the fact that
Colonel Roosevelt has announced his inten-
tion to make a strong fight in Pennsylvania
on behalf of his friend, Pinchott who is the
Progressive candidate, that Palmer and his
friends are already worried as to what the
effects may be. It will be recalled that
President Wilson offered Mr. Palmer the
place of Secretary of War in his Cabinet
when he assumed the Presiency. Mr.

Poteet, Texas, June 22.—That some of

CORN FED FILIPINOS.
An official story has been given out in
Washington, which comes from a corres-
pondent in Manila, to the effect tnat a
concerted effort, banked by the government
of the Philippines, is being made to substi-
tute corn for rice as an article of diet among
the people of the Islands, the Bureau of
Education being engaged in a campaign of
teaching the people how to grow and use
this cereal. As a result, during the last two
years, there has been a marked increase in
the production of corn and in the use of im-
plements and machinery necessary to pre-
pare it for food. In 1912 the corn cron of
the Islands amounted to approximately 8,-

from home and after considerable experience
on British frigates and in South American
shipping, Lafitte appeared as a smuggler
with his own privateer running the em-
bargo of the United States in 1807. His two
brothers located at New Orleans helped I
him dispose of his prizes after he engaged in '
Spanish shipping. President Madison finally

cause of his adherence to the Quaker faith,
and somehow Mr. Palmer believed that the
doctrine which proclaimed for “peace” carri-
ed farther in guidance of his actions than
the Presbyterian faith which rules the
White House and the Department of State.
Representative Connolly, Democratic Sena-
torial nominee in Iowa against Senator Cum-
mins, is very anxious for the President to
make a speech or two in his interest, while
the anti-Tammanyites in New York
are also importuning Mr. Wilson to do
something in their behalf. A thing about
the President is that he does mostly “one
thing at a time” and when the work before
Congress is a little farther along, the prob-
abilities are that he will go out and meet
the people, and make a few redhot keynote
speeches.
PANAMA CANAL TOLLS
From the Canadian northwest comes the
answer to the question as to how much
money the Panama Canal will save in
shipments, and the Vancouver Board of
Trade which has been making investigations
in regard to the comparative rates of carry-
ing cargo from British Columbia ports to
the Atlantic coast of North and South
America and to Europe, through the Pana-
ma Canal and around South America, has
given out a statement which is of general
interest to shippers of western Canada pro-
ducts to eastern markets.

Woods. “Such matters as need attention

Far from mending his ways Lafitte t
peared by the close of 1817 to be at the
head of nearly a thousand buccanneers
making their headquarters at Galveston.
His hospitality was famous. A well form-
ed, handsome man six feet two inches in
height, polite, generous and of winning ad-
dress Lafitte was the ideal buccanneer of
fiction, not the cut throaty kind. His fol-
lowers who had wives or mistresses brought

some of the
Lafitte’s career as pirate was approxi-
mately based on the liberal scale with
000,000 bushels, having a total value of '
$6,560,000; in 1913 the crop was estimated people, while if called now,
at 15,000,000 bushels, with a value of $12,-
300,000.
One result of this development of a new
food product has been the greatly increased
demand for hand mills. The Bureau of
Education, as a part of its propaganda es-
tablished demonstration stations in nearly
every community throughout the archipela-
go, giving practical instruction in
every step in preparing corn for the table
including instruction by the domestic
science department in cooking ana preparing
a large number of dishes made from corn.
Hand mills for grinding corn and the im-
plements used in its cultivation were put on
exhibition at these stations.

“The land question with rural credit

view the procuring of cheap money and
I long time credit to enable the homeless
man to procure and pay for a home, is
one about which but little is known, and
one that will require much thought
and wisdom properly to handle.
“The passage of the warehouse bill, the
revision of the election laws so as to re-
quire majority nominations for all state of-
fices and an amendment in substantial com-
pliance with the recent Bochmer bill will
do much toward securing purer and freer
elections.
“A few more measures that demand con-

that passed by the 33rd Legislature, suf-
ficient appropriations to make provision

and provision for unnecessary buildings at
both schools.”

The fastest steamers now making the run
from here to New York around the horn
in 65 to 90 days, under a daily cost
of $500 to $600 for operation. By the
Panama Canal the same vessels will make
the journey in about twenty days. On the
basis of sixty-five days for the other route
makes a difference of forty-five days, which
multiplied by $500 per day for operating
cost, gives $22,500, which represents the
steamer’s actual saving. If ship can make
the trip via the canal in twenty days,
they will be able to make two trips by that
route to one around the continent, which
will greatly increase the earning capacity
of the vessels
It is estimated by the local board of trade
that the opening of the canal will greatly
increase the shipping business from British
Columbia to Eastern markets, and the ocean
carrying companies are preparing to handle
the increase anticipated by the opening of
the new all water route, which will bring
the East and the West much nearer to each
other commercially
