' In L 184. whnn the board- wan. organised the i shipments of corn at Chicago were 650, 460 bushels as against 96.770,779 bushels ' shpped last year and 125.169.932 bush els received, ngiires which tell the story ot the eora belt during 60 years. - Chi cago naa a population or lenn inun 000. the state of Illinois had only 167.000 u people, and the United States had not yei auainea a total or is.uuu.uuu popu- latlon. Today the population of Chicago " Is. in round numbers, 2,400.000; of Illi nois, 6,600.000; of the United States, 90, .. 000,000. The founders of the board - aimed to apply the principle of coopera . tion to the expensive task of securing the world's crop facts. The -purposes ,as expressed then In the by-laws of the board, have stood two thirds of a century, they being set out thus;' "To maintain a commercial exobange; to pro mote uniformity in the customs and usages of merchants; to Inculcate prin ciples of Justice and equity in trade; to facilitate the speedy adjustment of business disputes; to acquire and dis seminate valuable commercial and eeo . nomic information, and, generally, to se cure to its members the benefits of co operation in the furtherance of their legitimate pursuits." t -. Interesting raots. . 'y:.t The legal battle between the $120,000, ' 000 "harvester trust" and the -state of . Kansas, which has reached . its. final stage with the .taking of testimony in this city, is developing many interest ins facta about the comuanvs atcency methods. Attorney-General' Fred, 0. Jack son of Kansas charges- that the various companies that go to make up the Inter 1 national Harvester company have effect ,ed a, combination In restraint of trade and have raised prices and compelled . agents to handle only their goods. In 'its effort to refute these contentions the 1 big corporation has offered at last to t Virnur Tan it m .knnlr rt .Via nm,rtiu tloii and the testimony that has just CUEES ECZEMA QUICKLY Hew Drer, Poslam.

To overcome this, and in response to urgent appeals, the dispensers of poslam have been obliged to adopt in addition to the reg ular two-dollar package, a special fifty cent size, which in future may be found on sale at the Sktdmore Drug company and . other leading drug stores In Port land, or may be ordered direct from the Emergency Laboratories.

The majority of the witnesses f were agents of the company, who testl :fled that no attempt was made to regu 1 late retail prices and that the so-called - "exclusive contracts" were a dead letter I and - were not enforced. Under oross ; examination the laet developed, however, that prices were discussed at a meeting I of general agents of the International wnion was held at Kansas City in. 1006, Tha defeat of the Company would have far-reaching results. - It would mean the , i removal of 1.000 local" agentsr the 'dls charge Of "S0 regular: salaried jrepaip i men and' warehousemen and the aban donment of numerous repair shops at ' crossroads.

No decision will be - reacnea in Chicago, but the testimony will be referred to the Kansas supreme court, which has the case under consid- ration. . Xndalv SnatteMd.

Horses More rroflelent. . The discovery ty an investigating commission that " Chicago's firemen are not up to the standard set by tne lire horses has-resulted in a unique tribute to the animals that1 respond to the alarms1 and may lead to sweeping charges in the city's fire department. The commission pronounced the work of the horses as flawless and said that the work of the human fire fighters, on whom the safety of the big city de pends, was not nearly aa efficient. It then came to light that the civil serv ice examination for the animals Is tre mendously more rigid than the physical V TIIB FIRST TASTB learned to Brisk Coffee Vhen a Baby. If parents realized the fact that cof , : fee contains a drug caffeine which is ..especially harmful to children, they 1 1 would doubtless hesitate before giving "When I was a child in my mother's , arms and first began to nibble things at the table, mother used to give me sips ; of coffee.

After this the are kept under strict training for three or four months before they are permitted to turn out to their first f Ira, As a result of - this test all Inferior horses put In the de partment by political pull have been re tired and replaced by capable ones. "If we spent as much time and money fatting good firemen aa we do in get lng good horses, there would not be an incompetent man? in the department,' said Chief Horan. "We have too many one-story firemen they're all right at a around floor blase. But what we need is 10-story firemen, and we need them badly." - The merit board found that in the examination of firemen the physical requirements .were unduly subordinated to the mental. This will now be changed and b' and heavier firemen will be sought A similar reform is planned In the police department, ex cept that here the mental test will have greater weight.-- . Had Turtle run, A mud turtle farm, which will also be devoted to the raising of mushrooms, gol & fish and guinea - pigs, is the lat est venture of the head of 'One of the big western railroads. President H. I. Miller of the Chicago & Eastern Illi nois is the man who has hit upon this novel form of diversified farming; as a relief from business cares, 'and he' in tends incidentally to show the farmers of the grain belt that 800 acres of ter rapins and guinea pigs will pay bigger dividends than even 80-cent oorn. The farm is located at Harrington, a suburb of Chicago, and is a tract ot rolling timbered land. Numerous lagoons and roads are being dug at various points on the property and an elaborate system of irrigating ditches will be established. The guinea pig yards will cover several acres and will be the largest, it is ex pected, in the country. The mushrooms will be allowed to grow wild wherever they will in marshy spots and damp nooks in the woods.- With the starting of the farm comes to light some inter esting, facts about a little known Indus try, it is estimated tnat over iu.ouu turtles are consumed annually In Chi cago restaurants.

Carton for 13, 000, alleging that Carton had i been making statements to the ef fect that Bleits nad a wife In the east and another In 6eattle; had been in jail back east and was not a fit man to as sociate with decent people.

Starr and tier 6-year- old Son JLorls, when they were thrown headlona in front of a heavy farm sled and dragged along for a hundred yards behind a pair of frightened horses. How either escaped alive is a mystery,, as both were colled and twisted along un der the front of the heavy runners, while part of their clothing or limbs were caught on the- front of the -sled and held until after a hundred yards of road . had been traversed The sled suddenly : turned over and ooth , occu pants - jumped ,up- almost, without s a bruise. ' .'-.1 ' A seat on the sled had been-, placed near the front so , that garden . imple ments, etc., could be-placed In the back, and in driving across a small ditch the boy started to fall,' when Mrs,, - Starr reached forward to catch ' him.

Charles Moorehouso arrived In A the Coeur d'Alenes from Tahiti today with a oheck for $10,000, only to find that his benefactor nad gone to his last long rest two years ago. and his estate was in litigation. 1 . In 1884 Moorehouse, now one of the best-known copra merchants in the South 8ea Islands, came to the Coeur d'Alenes and took up a bunch of claims in the- Big Creek district Thesa he worked- for a year or two, "but with little success. Entirely without friends or means to support himself, he was forced to turn for help to an old negro named Matt Brown. Brown and Moore house were in pretty much the same condition financially, and the two en tered Into aind of partnership, .In which th nrm nrnvlded . srrnh so far as possible, while Moorehouse worked on the claims. . v Grew Blob in Bonis Beaa. . The mining venture, however, proved unsuccessful, and' Moorehouse Jeft the district as poor as he had come. From here he went to the South 8ea islands, and with very little capital manaa-ed at last to start for himself in the copra business, in which he made a vast zortune, on wnicn ne naa now retired.- He made It his first business to seek out his old friend and reward him for his past kindnesses, and came hore with a check for $10,000 made out and ready to hand over.' - ' ' Inquiries have shown that Brown died iwo years ago at waroner.
