WINDSOR COMES
INTO IIS UVN
ONCE ft
KING GEORGE AND QUEEN MARY
PATRONIZE IT8 LOCAL
TRADESMEN
Windsor, Eng., Aug. 2. 01 all loyal
subjects up and down the land, those
r this little town are experiencing
the keenest and most personal satis
faction ia the accession of King George
V. It is a prosaic reason, because it
affects their pockets, but still folk
must live. And It is ten times easier
to say "God save the king," when his
majesty, with, his own hand, puts sev
eral dollars regularly every week into
your till.
For the tradesmen of Windsor until
year ago suffered from a slump In
royal patronage of such a severe kind
that some came to he verge of bank
ruptcy. In Queen Victoria's time, the
court was at Windsor Castle a large
part of the year, and it was the in
variable rule of her majesty that ev
erything required for the castle should,
as far as possible, be bought In Wind
sor. Of course, the castle represented
almost the entire trade of the town,
which, though important as being the
place of the king's chief home, la not
a large one. The Eton boys from
the famous public school nearby repre
sent another proportion of their cus
tom, but the quantity of it is negligi
ble to that of the royal demesne.
When Queen Victoria died and Ed
ward reigned in her stead, a com
plexion of quite different hue appear
ed on the face of things. To begin
with, both King Edward and his spouse
-cordially detested Windsor, and put in
-as little time there as possible during
the year. Then, when the royal cou
pie were in residence things were no
better tor the honest butcher, baker
and candle stick maker of tt'ladsor,
fot everything was bought in London
o abroad.
Edward VII was a man or luxurious
taste to an extraordinary degree. The
simple fare and the ordinary necessa
ries procurable1 in the country borough
he had no use for. Foreign wines, rare
-fruits and vegetables in and out of
season, game and fish were required
almost every day and had to be ob-
-tained trvfn th continent. "No order
today" was the depressing- reply when
the local tradesmen , called . at , . the
mm;
-castle. . .
With, the advent ot King George ana
Mary the cloud have rolled
,v and the eun ot prosperity once
more shines on the picturesque bor-
ouuh. For in material matters,
rresent king Is quite the opposite of
his father, a fact of which the butch
rs and bakers are joyfully aware. The
king has made it known that when
he is in Windsor he wishes everything
iwineht in Windsor, and good money
Is once more rolled into the local cof
fers.
WHO GETS THE PROFITS?
Neither the farmers nor the rail
r responsible for the high
cost of living. Neither profits by
the high prices paid by the consumer.
The fault Is in the tremendous costs
. and profits which lie between the
producer and the consumer. A box
of lemons brings the California pro
ducer $1.50. The 3,000-mile freight
haul to New York City by the rail
roads costs S4 cents. Yet the ultim
ate consumer pays $7.40 for that
same box of lemons. The producer
receives 20 per cent for growing it,
the railroad receives 11 per cent for
hauling it across the continent and
the dealer in New York 69 per cent
for doing what?

souri Is 15 cents per dozen. For the
1,300-mile haul to New York, includ
iug breakage, the railroads charge 2
cents. Yet the average cost of eggs
is 30 cenU per dozen, in other
words, the men who receive these
eggs in New York In the morning and
deliver them, perhaps before night,
receive 13 cents per dozen for their
work.
The beef steer travels from the
range in Texas to Kansas or Okla
homa, is fed for six months on fat
tening feed, makes another railroad
journey to the packing house. Is
transformed into dressed beef and
makes a third Journey by rail to the
local butcher. All this fattening,
dressing, transporting at a" total cost
of 7 4 cents per pound. For cutting
the carcass into cuts and transporting
it around the corner to your door a
distance of a block or two the
butcher adds 17 cents per pound.
According to Secretary Wilson, in
seventy-eight cities where the matter
was Investigated, the farmer or orig
inal producer receives less than 50
per cent of what the ultimate con
sumer pays for milk; the railroads
receiving but seven per cent for
transporting it, while the dealers re
ceive 43 per cent. An estimate shows
that on articles of food for which the
farmer receives $274,289,000, the
freight bills were but $25,045,000,
while the expenses and profits of
the middlemen who hauled these com
modities, were $164,813,000. In other
words, the expense of handling and
the profits were, in addition to the
freight, over 60 per cent.
The problef of the high cost of
living is not one of trusts and tar
iffs, but of providing some system of
getting food products from producer
to consumer without so much expense
and so many profits.

300,000 ACRES IN
SAN JUAN BEING
CH TRACT IN NORTHERN NEW
MEXICO MAY 800N BE OPEN
ED TO SETTLERS
Dura n go, Colo., Aug. 2. Through
the untiring efforts of the Farmington
board of trade, with the assistance of
C V. Safford, a prominent banker of
Albuquerque, N. M., who had made a
personal inspection and careful study
of the proposition, Surveyor General
Jchn W. -March of New Mexico has
finally succeeded In securing permis
sion from the department officials at
Washington to survey a 300,000 acre
tract of land lying south and southeast
of Farmington, N. M., which in the
end will result in that immense portion
of the territory being thrown open to
settlers.
The acreage in question has long
been considered a deesrt waste by
those who were not acquainted with
Its value or the existing conditions.
Three years ago the Farmington aboard
o' trade awoke to the fact and' pro
ceeded to get action on the unsurveyed
land. Mr. Safford made a trip for the
express purpose of studying the con
ditions and upon his return to Santa Fe
he personally presented the matter
to Surveyor General March. The lat
ter Immediately recommended the
consideration by the department offi
cials, requesting permission to proceed
at. once with the work.
The result of his request was evi
denced last Friday by the arrival in
Farmington of William A. Tipton, a
United States surveyor in the regular
sedvloe of the government, acoom
panied by a crew of seven men. The
party's mission was to begin the task
of surveying the fourteen townships
of unsurveyed government land lying
south and southeast of that city. It
i? expected that to survey this, great
amount of land will require four
months and when completed and plac
ed on the records the prospective
opening to entry of the lands another
era of development of the great Farm
ington fruit belt will have been ac
complished. Before the Work has been complet
ed the townships will be subdivided.
The land included In the survey com
prises thousands of acres of produc
tive level mesa land, while other sec
tions of It ennibrajce mors 4illy ami
rcrujsh land. But on the whole it will
provide thousands of acres that will
he reclaimed almost Immediately af
ter having been thrown open to settle
ment. It is estimated that at least
150,000 acres in the project Is of such
high productive value that when de
veloped the ranches will be of the
most valuable in the great fruit belt.
The arrival of the surveyors has not
only aroused the inhabitants to great
excitement, but those residing In the
San Juan Tegion as well. Hundreds of
citizens in this section are beginning
to lay their plans for filing on a des
ert claim as soon as the land Is thrown
open for settlement, uetung water
on to this land will be the greatest
difficulty as a starter of the develop
ment. The expenditure will be great;
!n fact, too much for the new settler,
but when that time comes the govern
ment will be asked to assist. If this
land is irrigated from the San Juan
river a large high line ditch and stor
age reservoirs will be used, but in
awaiting for those improvements the
new settlers might get along by pump
ing water from shallow wells.

TO HARVEST WESTERN CROP
Montreal. Aug. 2. The Canadian

where the farmers are reported to be
i1'1 need of 60,000 harvest hands to
assist in caring for the great wheat
crop, estimated at 200,000,000 bushels.
The largest number of men hitherto
sent west for harvesting was two
years ago, when 26,000 made the Jour,
nev. The big Increase this year is
due to the fact that the crop in Mani
toba, Alberta and Saskatchewan
promises exceptionally well, both on
land that has been in cultivation for
years and on trie big additional acre
age that has been broken up during
tho past two years. The railroads
expect to recruit thousands of har
vesters in Ontario, Quebec and the
maritime provinces.

I could hardly walk.
I cramped and had
backache and head
ache, and was so
nervous and weak
that I dreaded to
"Sisee anyone or have
room. The doctors
gave me medicine to
iease me at those
times, and said that 1 ought to have an
operation. I would not listen to that,
and when a friend of my husband told
him about Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound and what it had done
for his wife, I was willing to take it.
Now I look the picture of health and
feel like it, too. I can do my own house
work, hoe my garden, and milk a cow.
I can entertain company and enjoy
them. I can visit when I choose, and
walk as far as any ordinary woman,
any day In the month. I wish I could
talk toe very suff eringwoman and girl. "
