WORLD CONSERVATION MEETING.
President Roosevelt Will Issue Call
for Convention,
Washington, D. C.—So thoroughly
imprfissed is President Roosevelt with
the flecessity for conservation of the
natural resources of the world that
he has directed Secretary of State Ba
con, at the suggestion of the North
American Conservation Conference, in
session here, to extend a formal in
vitation to foreign powers to partici
pate in an internaticnal conference
to deal with this important problem
to be held at The Hague next Sep
tember. All of the forty-five nations
represented at The Hague peace con
ference will be invited to participate.
The announcement of this proposed
international gathering was made by
President Roosevelt following a lun
cheon which he gave in honor of the
commissioners from this «country,
Canada and Mexico, who are in at
tendance upon the North American
Conservation Conference.
In an official statement, given out
at the white house, it was announced
that the conference of delegates, rep
resenting the United States, Mexico
and Canada, “having exchange views
and considered the information sup
plied from the respective countries, is
convinced of the importance of the
movement for the conservation of
natural resources on the continent of
North America, and believes that it
is of such a nature and of such gen
eral importance that it should become
worldwide in its scope, and therefore
suggests to the president that all na
tions should be invited to join to
gether in conference on the subject
of world resources and their invento
ry, conservation and wise utilization.”

dynamite caps and nitro-glycerine,
which, they said, they had buried a

ed to use in blowing the safe of the
postoffice at Decateur, Ga. They also
had planned to rob a local bank.

both the house and the senate, Kan
gas will have an absolute prohibition
law, which even prohibits physicians
from prescribing liquor,
The hill provides that any person

o
Are Being Investigated By the United
States Agricultural Department.
Washington, D, C.—The amazing
inattention to the profitable industry
of dalrying in the south, and the
best means to build up that industry
and wmake It pay, are shown in a
pamphlet just issued by the depart
ment of agriculture, ' The bulletin is
based upon the work of the three
employees of the dairy division in
fifly leading cities of the thirteen
southern states,
The investigators report that dairy
ing is not receiving the attention it
should, In many cases neglect on
the part of dairymen and filthy methe
ods of producing and handling dairy
products have been a menacing
source of disease. In other cases,
even conscientious dairymen have
nct made the profit they should, be
cause of ignorance and inattention,
Fhotographs are inserted in the re
port to show the practice of some
dairy farmers who run a small home
dairy, of leaving the dalirying uten
sils out in the yard to sun and air,
but not protecting them from the
chickens and pigs. These photo
graphs explain the existence of pov
erty on so many southern dairy farms
and the reason why nearly $23,000,
000 annually are sent outside of the
southern states for dairy products.
If the southern farmers would put
themselves in position to supply this
need, it is estimated that they would
derive an additional profit from their
farms annually of $14,000,000. This
profit now goes to northern and west
ern states for cream, butter, cheese
and condensed milk. Of course, near
ly all the milk consumed in the south
is produced in the neighborhood in
'which it is consumed.
~ The number of cows of good breed
that would be needed to supply the
need of the southern consumers, 18
estimated to be 184,559. The dairy
‘experts figure that it would cost SB,-
305,155 to maintain these cows, leav
ing to the dairymen the profit indi
‘cated ahove.
} There are only a few creameries in
the southern states. These use creamn
brought from long distances. One
creamery in Fort Worth, Texas, gets
part of its supply of cream from OKk
lahoma. Those in Chattanooga, Tenn.,
also get their supply of cream from
far distant points. This explains, in
a measure, why 23,435,000 pounds o
creamery butter is brought into the
south annually from the north and
west,
The annual production of creamery
butter in Georgia is given as 48,960,
but over fifteen million pounds is
made on the farm. It is declarea
that some dairies are now making
butter almost, if not quite equal, to
the best creamery butter, It is stated
that such butter is now being sup
plied in Atlanta, Macon, Augusta, Co
lumbia, S. C., and Birmingham, Ala.,
in limited quantities.
It must be recalled that the quan
tity of butter produced in the south
is n? neafly sufficient to the demand,
and much of what is produced is
treated by these renovating factories
before it is sold. It is charged in
the report that some dealers palm off
renovated butter on customers as
“creamery’” butter,
It is shown that the consuraption of
oleomargarine has decieased since
congress passed an act to protect the
consumers by imposing a tax of 10
cents a pound on the colored proa
uct, and of a cent a pound on ine
uncolored. Georgia in 1905-6 usea
only 172,494 pounds of this product,
although the total consumption
throughout the south was nearly 7,
000.000 pounds.
'This Dbulletin, which was prepared
by Messrs. B. H, Rawl, Duncan Stew
art and George M. Whitaker, may be
secured by addressing the depart
ment of agriculture and asking for
Farmers’ Bulletin No. 349.
Tax On Bachelors.
Topeka, Kan.—Kansas bachelors
more than 45 years of age may be
‘taxed $25 a year. A bill to this ef
fect was introduced by Representa
tive Cron.,. It was immediately ad
vanced on the calendar and a tele
gram forwarded to President Roose
veit by its author, Mr. Cron says
that when a bachelor reaches the
age of 45 there is no hope of his
ever marrying, and that he ought to
be taxed as a penalty for not raising
a family.
Editors Arrested.
Washington, D, C. — Bench war
rants were issued for the arrest of
Joseph Pulitzer, proprietor, and C. M.
Van Hamm and H. Lyman, editors of
the New York World, and for Dele
van Smith and C. R. Williams, own
ers of the Indianapolis News, for
criminal libel, in connection with the
publication, in those newspapers, of
charges of irregularities in the pur
chase by the United States govern
ment of the Panama canal property.
Attempt to Smuggle Chinese.
San Luis Obispo, Cal—What is be
lieve® to be an organized plan to
smuggle Asiatics into this country
has been unearthed as a result of
the discovery of 22 Chinese in a box
car in this city. The Chinese were
in a bonded car, sealed with the gov
ernment stamp. The. car was billed
from Algiers, La., where it left on
February 10, for San Francisco. While
passing the box car Conductor Page

question who was in the car, he re
ceived an offer of $2 for a bucket
of water in the “pigeon English” of
the Chinese. The sheriff's office was
notified, and the 22 half-starved Chi
nese taken out,

Delineator’s School for Mothers.
“How to save American babies”—
this is the new campaign cry of The
Delineator. We ask all mothers to
take it up. This is The Delineator’s
new Health Idea—a conference of the
nation’s mothers to save the nation’s
babies.
We ask mothers not only to come
to schocl to learn the best that is
being done to save babies and how
to do it, but to come together with
their health officers, doctors, nurses,
school teachers, superintendents ot
hospitals and charitable institutions,
to consider the methods of preventing
infant sickness and death in their
own towns,
We feel that the time is especially
propitious to open a mothers’ confer
ence to save babies when the Nation
al Congress of Mothers is discussing
in New Orleans the problem of in
fant mortality.
We will make this office a clearing
house for questions and suggestions
and reference bureaw £or information
by getting in touch with the institu
tions and experts who 'are working
on the problem.
This department is to be in charge
of Miss Edith Howe, who is intimate
ly connected with constructive social
and educational work for mothers
and babies in New York City. She
has been connected with the work of
the Caroline Rest Fund for the edu
cation of mothers in the care of their
babies, the first fund of this kind
ever established. This fund is in the
care of the New York Association for
Improving the Condition of the Poor.
