EVENTS OF THE WEEK. 
DOMESTIC.—The largest Federal in¬ 
come tax in Chicago will be paid by Ju¬ 
lius Jtosenwald, president of a mail or¬ 
der house. His return showed an income 
of $1,100,000 for the ten months ended 
December 31, 1913, or on a basis of $1,- 
320,000 for twelve months. 
During a blizzard, March 31, the New¬ 
foundland sealing fleet met with great 
disaster. The steamer Newfoundland lost 
77 of her crew, while as many more, it is 
feared, will be maimed as a result of ex¬ 
posure. The men lost were far from 
their ships, killing seals, when the storm, 
with blinding snow, swooped down upon 
them. They were exposed for 48 hours 
before assistance arrived and in that time 
many succumbed. The Newfoundland 
was one of a fleet of fifteen ships, carry¬ 
ing more than two thousand men, scat¬ 
tered among the ice floes near Bello Isle 
Strait. Another vessel, the Southern 
Cross, disappeared in the storm, and it is 
feared all on board, 175 men, are lost. 
4 The twelve districts and twelve reserve 
cities of the Federal reserve banking sys¬ 
tem authorized by the new currency law

eral reserve banks are New York. Bos¬ 
ton, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Richmond, 
Va., Atlanta, Chicago, St. Louis. Minne¬

lined with these cities as financial cen¬ 
ters. it being required that the reserve 
bank of each district shall subscribe to 
a minimum of $4,000,000 of capital in 
the reserve system. 
Fire which swept through two blocks 
along the bay shore at St. Augustine, 
Fla.. April 2, destroyed 36 buildings, 
among them five hotels crowded with 
visitors from the North. There was only 
one death, although hundreds of persons 
had narrow escapes as they fled in their 
night clothes. The loss is estimated at 
between $600,000 and $700,000. 
Nine men were killed and nine others 
narrowly escaped death, April 6. when 
a shaft leading to the underground work¬ 
ings on the foundation for the Harahan 
Bridge, being constructed across the 
Mississippi River at Memphis, Tenn., be¬ 
came filled with poisonous gases. 
August Pajonk, alias August Miller, 
alias Albert Frei, alias Fred Klein, was 
recently sentenced in Chicago to two 
years in the penitentiary for obtaining 
money under false pretenses. Pajonk’s 
plan was to advertise florists’ stock for 
sale in the trade papers, and then make 
no return for the money. 
. Secretary of the Navy Daniels has 
signed an order which absolutely prohi¬ 
bits the use or introduction of alcoholic 
liquor upon any vessel of the navy yard 
or shore station. This order will become 
effective on July 1, 1914. 
Mrs. Lillian M. N. Stevens, president 
of th*‘ National Woman’s Christian 
Temperance Union and vice-president of 
the world’s organization of the same 
name, died at her home at Portland, Me., 
April 6, of kidney disease. She had been 
ill since her return in December from 
Washington, where she had worked hard 
in the campaign for a national prohibi¬ 
tion. law. Mrs. Stevens was born in 
Portland on March 1, 1844. Her maiden 
name was Ames. In 1867 she married 
Michael Stevens, a merchant of Portland, 
and ill 1874 flsjsisfpH in nwranivintr l-kn

M issourian will destroy surplus roosters. 
Prof. Quisenberry claims that the roos- 
ers of Missouri cause a loss of $3,000,000 
to Missouri farmers every Summer. He 
insists the roosters should be extermin¬ 
ated as soon as the hatching season is 
over. 
Nine hundred quarts of milk were 
given away free to a crowd of nearly 
1,000 men. women and children at the 
State House steps. Boston, April 6, by 
the North Reading milk farmers, who 
charge that their product is going to 
waste because the big milk dealers will 
not pay them a fair price. A delegation 
of the farmers waited upon Governor 
Walsh to complain of the situation. 
Henry Jackson Waters, president of 
the Kansas State Agricultural College, 
will spend 60 days this Summer in the 
Philippine Islands as a special repre¬ 
sentative of the United States to inspect 
the work being done by the Bureau of 
Agriculture and Education and will make 
a report of the same to the War Depart¬ 
ment. 
and in 1S74 assisted in organizing the 
Maine W. C. T. U. From 1S94 to 1898 
Mrs. Stevens was vice-president of the 
National W. C. T. U.. and after the 
death of Frances Willard she was elected 
president in 1898 at St. Paul. Since 
then she has been re-elected president 
each year. 
Elections on April 7 resulted as fol¬ 
lows : By a vote only one-sixth normal 
in the special election this State favored 
a constitutional convention. With Presi¬ 
dent _ Wilson’s administration the princi¬ 
pal issue Dow J. Drukker, Republican 
was elected to Congress in the 7th New 
Jersey District, to succeed the late Rob¬ 
ert J. Bremner, a Democrat. Emil Sei¬ 
del, Socialist, was defeated by at least 
5,000 for Mayor of Milwaukee, by Ger- 
hardt A. Bading, non-partisan candidate. 
The Democrats retained the 12th Massa¬ 
chusetts District, electing Gallivan to 
succeed Curley, who is Mayor of Boston. 
The Republicans and Progressives ran in 
the order named. Kansas City elected a 
Democratic Mayor. Every one of the 
nine women candidates for seats in the 
City Council of Chicago was defeated. 
Throughout the State of Illinois the 
women carried a number of offices. The 
drys gained a number of larger towns in 
Illinois. The wets gained none, but re¬ 
tained control of several big cities. The 
drys in Illinois made substantial gains 
with the aid of women’s votes in the lo¬ 
cal option elections. With now and then 
an exception, women voters more than 
offset the men, who generally rolled up 
majorities for the saloons. An impres¬ 
sive example of women’s power was dis¬ 
closed in Fulton county, where, with the 
carrying of Canton, the largest city, by 
over 1.000, and smaller places by lesser 
figures, the women swung the entire 
county into dry territory and put thirty- 
eight saloons out of business.

Snow having melted by March 20th, 
with a nice, warm sun George Green 
was able to till four acres of ground and 
plant early peas on March 25. The 
ground around here is a warm sand and 
the snow does not last long. While 
North Jersey had about four foot of 
snow, the heaviest fall around Millville 
was eight inches. h. s. m.

It is. very wet here now, and the 
Ohio River looks like the beginning of a 
small flood. Fruit growers are making 
a good start in spraying, and several 
carloads of lime-sulphur have been sold 
in this locality and more than a car of 
dry sulphur for making the mixture at 
home. Six carloads or more of fertiliz¬ 
ers are being brought in here for the 
orchards this Spring. The prospect for 
all kinds of fruits was never better for 
the time of the year. Most of tin 1 peach j 
buds are alive and strong and more 
backward than usual. Mice have done 
more damage in this locality than ever 
known before. Most of it was done dur¬ 
ing the snows about a month ago.

ROOFING 
COST 
This is a point 
every farmer 
should consider 
carefully—the 
original purchase 
. .. price means little, 
but tigure out what the roofing cost per year will 
be. The cheapest roof that lasts only a year or 
two may prove the most costly in the long run— 
this is usually true. 
RAIN-TIGHT” Rubber Roofing

lasts almost indefinitely, and, counting the length of service, it is tho most economical roof you 
can buy It is made of Trinidad Bake Asphalt—the standard asphalt of the world. It is the same 
material that is used to mai.e city pavements, which withstands the constant pounding of 
horses hoofs and heavy-laden wagons. 
Our brand of “ PERFECT ROOFING” is the same as " RAIN-TIGHT " with Mica Flakes 
added to the surface, which make it fire-resisting. It is a non-conductor of heat and lightning 
and insures against fire from sparks falling on the roof. 
PERFECT ROSIN-SIZED SHEATHING AND PERFECT TARRED FELT ARE BEST FOR SHEATHING PURPOSES 
If you need a new roof for any building, now or in the future, it will pay you to 
send for samples and booklet—write us to-day.

NTATURE cooperates with yon at every turn in the Southeast, 
lv Crop failures are hardly known. 
, You are favored with 200 to 300 growing days, which allow two and 
, three crops from the same land each season. 
i Expensive irrigation is unnecessary, as 45 to 60 inches of rain, well 
distributed through the growing season, fall annually. 
The assortment of crops raised in the Southeast is the greatest any¬ 
where in America. From the tropical citrus fruits to the finest varie¬ 
ties of apples, peaches, pears, grapes and numerous other fruits and 
nearlyevery known variety of grains, vegetables, grasses and legumes 
can be produced somewhere in the Southern Railway territory. 
And with all these superior advantages Southeastern land now averages 
less than one-half the price of farms in other parts of America. 
$15 to $50 An Acre Buys Excellent Homesteads 
where theclimnte is exceedingly agreeable and healthful, where railroad communica¬ 
tion is of the highest order and transportation to N orthern markets but 24 to 48 hours. 
I-ife in the rural sections of the South is all that could be desired. Modem highways 
and telephones, the best of high and agricultural schools, good churches and trading 
centers—all these advantages are to be had in this growing section.

Settler 
aTear 
Immigration figures show that the population 
of Canada Increased during 1918, by the addition 
of 400.000 now settlers from the United States 
and Europe. Most of these have gone on farms 
In Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. 
Lord William Percy, an English Nobleman 
says; 
"The possibilities and opportunities offered by 
tho Canadian West are so lntlnltely greater 
than those which exist In England, that It 
seems absurd to think that people should be 
impeded from coming to the country where 
they can most easily and certainly Improve 
their position.” 
New districts are being opened up, 
which will make accessible a great 
number of homesteads in districts 
especially adapted to mixed farm¬ 
ing and grain raising.
