About $o,00i),000 is involved. Alter instituting suit the Western Union sought to have it dis missed, and after it was dismissed the Bell Company appealed to the Circuit Court of Appeals when the decision of the Circuit Court ' wa3 reversed. The Western Union Company sought to have the case reviewed by the Supreme Court, but the opinion rendered denies this petition. This takes the case back to the Circuit Court for further proceedings ' It is a victory for the Bell Telephone Company, and it is said this company will at once go into the telegraph fiekf. while the Western Union Company will be shut out from the telephone field. An expert, Fpeakinjr of the possible ex tension of tho telephone company into the telegraph field, said that the new telephone wires could be used simulta neously for both telephone and tele graph service, so that the two would not conflict in the least. .

The grain crop last year was almost a total failure, and as the peo ple exchanged their maize for rice to last them through the winter, food has been scant for a long time. Supplies are how completely exhausted and the harvest of death has begun. The offi cials are making efforts to furnish foo t for the starving people by sending in rice, but the supplies they are able to contribute are so small and the number of those in direct need is so great that little good is accomplished. Great Loss of Cattle. Between blizzards and high water cattle on the ranges throughout the Northwest have been having a tough time of it since' the first of last winter's storms.

A factory is to be lo cated at Rockford, I1L, and others are to be ' constructed later on at other points In the West. E. S. Cramp, while In Chicago perfecting arrangements for the Rockord plant, bespeaks for the new product an Immense financial suc cess, which will be shared liberally by the farmers. He says of the finished product: "Our experiments wth this new cofferdam material Lave shown that it is the most perfect in its action of anything of the kind ever used. The French have something like it mad s ot cocoa liber, but the English have found It so unsatisfactory that they have never .used it. Its use Is simple. The sides of the ship are stuffed with It. and when a 6hot penetrates the water swells tha cofferdam and closes x1m lfak, or.at least stops It sufficiently to keep tht ship from sinking." Regarding the gathering of th stalk Mr. Cramp says; "All that Is 'necessary is simply tbe' barn rtnlk. Thus, after husking ihft corn, .farmers may let the cattls Into the field, as they do now, and when" the cattle have consumed the leaves and nil they can eat the stalks can be brought to our factories. Nothing vo need has been put to any use p. the past. There are two or three tons of, cornstalks to the acre, which raij he cut for about. $1 an acre, leaving the rest to the farmer. We expect to pay about $2 n ton. for the stalks." It will be a nice thJig. of cours". fr Rockford an& fllinol3 to have this uevt manufacturing- industry, and esp:ial ly fortunate that a use has beea lound for what has formerly been waste product. But it Is doubtful if. Mr. Cramp will be able to get his stalks for $2 a ton." There are probablj two or three tons of these stalks to the acre, and at a low estimate they could be cut for 51.80 an acre. But then there would be the cost of loading and team ing to the nearest railroad station, per haps three or four miles distant, and labor for this work and all these ex penses would bring the cost of the Btalks up to about ?3 a ton. Even' at this price it is not probable there would be any great profit In It for the farm ers. Yet there will be some profit, and It will be desirable to see the experi ment tried. If the farmers can man age to get a substantial return from these stalks that have always been con sidered worthless, the profits may serve to .offset to some extent the losses In curred because of the low price of corn. There Is something wrong some where; thousands of able-bodied. Intel ligent American worklngmen .are un able to kep the wolf from; the door, but terrapin are reported in active de mand at $70 a dozpn. " '.. What's In a name?
