One outstanding result of the first year's,
operation of the new standards in the
grading and marketing of dressed pouhry
is the popularity which the Government
inspection has won with the trade. Deal

in a number of cases carlots arriving en
the market without government inspec-
tion have been "passed up" in favor of
shipments which have this feature. So
thoroughly has the new system of grading
dressed poultry been carried out that the
confidence of the trade has been secured,

with credit, showing that by u ,stinted
practise and the adaptability of the per -
sone{ of the play to characterize the var-
ious parts. the presentation was one of

s in to feel satisfied with their judgment

A Little Bill For Uncle Sant.
Britain is repaying its war debts to Am-
erica at the rate of $165,000.000 a year,
rising in two year's time to $190,000 000
per annum. America the Cronus of the
modern world, owes Britain at least $390,
000000 which it declines to pay.
This was referred to recently in the
House of Lorr's by Lord Redesdale, who
explained how eight of the Southern Stat-
es of America had raised loans in Great
Britain in the last century and then de.
faulted in the pa, ment of interest. Miss.
issippi, Lout iana, Tennessee, Georgia,
Alabama, Arkansas, North and South
Carolina are the defaulting States and
while Lord Redesdale estimated the pres-
ent amount of their debt to Britain as
9390,000.000, the Earl of Limerick, calcul.
Ming compound interest declared it to he
$1.000000000, Mississippi defaulted in
1841 and repudiated liability in 1852, so
that the debt is no new one.
President Roosevelt declared the action
of the defaulting States to be "a painful
and hamefui page" in American history,
This ninety.year-old debt is now equiv-
alent to one -twelfth of the whole of Brit-
ain's war debts to America.
