FARMING CAMPAIGN.
Few ideas have taken root more
rapidly, when once germinated, than
that of the farm improvement commit
tee, with fta expert adviser giving
demonstrations among the farmers.
In the west this plan is being promot
ed energetically by the council of
grain exchanges, made up ot 17 grain
organization in different centers, says
the Springfield Union. According to
Secretary Ball of the council’s crop
Improvement committee no less than
102 counties have already employed
men to give expert advice on farming,
while 120 other counties have nearly
completed arrangements for organiz
ing on this line. He added that he
was in correspondence with nearly
700 counties, and that his organization
was co-operating with the national and
state departments of agriculture, the
bankers’ associations and two great
corporations that have offered prizes
to promote improvement in raising
crops. The seed-testing feature is re
ceiving attention, and the question of
marketing crops is treated as no less
Important than crop production. It
is surprising to note the great num
ber and variety of Interests that have
become actively interested in the cam
paign for better farming. If the Page-
Lever-Smith legislation, now pending
in congress, should be enacted as pro
posed, the federal government would
expend $3,000,000 annually in precise
ly the kind of work proposed to be
carried on tn Hampden county, and al
ready under way in many other coun
ties.
Oae of the sayings of an old Persian
wise man Is: "All unuttered truths be
come poisonous." Wonder it that is
not the matter with us all we do not
say the real things that lie close to
the heart. For it is surely the fact, if
a man suppresses the truth he will
break out. somewhere in a lie or deceit.
But suppose the truths are al! uttered,
what would become of politics,
religion, society, business! There
would certainly be a frightful holo
caust. Sometimes one does meet a
man or motehaps a woman, who will
tell the truth the heart holds, not In
vanity or boasting, but In candor and
love —what a clear sky breaks all
about such a person, how sweet the air
is, how green the grass grows! One
lives In a new world. One takes on
higher aims. But suppose everybody
would utter his truth! The theory of
humanity is that it would be well. But
we would prefer to wait a few cen
turies for the spirit to get a better
headway in human shrdiu shrdiu u
It would be well to ponder over the
wise Persian’s aphorism: "All un
uttered truths become poisonous." And
its corollary, too: All lies become
poisonous, too.
Although the practice of making
plaintiff and defendant kneel down be
fore the judge in the course of a law
suit and the application of corporal
punishment to extract confession from
the suspected offender have been pro
hibited by law, still in some rural dis
tricts and cities the authorities of the
court have not yet completely aban
doned these practices, says the Pe
kin Daily News. President Yuan,
wishing the authorities to respect the
rights of the people and thereby to
show ; ‘them the real significance of
a Republican form of government, has
telegraphed Instructions to the Tutubs
to investigate the practice of the local
courts.
A doctor in Pittsburgh has been
talking to schoolgirls about the "bird
cage" disease of high society women,
meaning the undermining ill-health
proceeding from the undermining of
their constitutions by too much indo
lence, social indulgences, lack of prop
er exercise and too much rich food.
The term is a good one, and the pro
cess it implies deserves to be held up
as a warning to the Intelligent girl
l ood of the country.
The loss ot a woman’s handbag con
taining over $40,000 should not delude
the light-fingered gentry into picking
up all the handbags they see. The
average value of the women's hand
bags that are left lying around loose
would probably be somewhere about
40 cents.
Germany has passed a law forbid
ding whistling on the street. Our cb
serration leads us to believe that the
favorite place for whistling is the of
fice, and by the office boy.

mier, Dr. L. Tomanovice.
"I have the honor to inform you
that the international fleet is assem
bled in Montenegrin waters as a pro

wishes of the great powers. 1 desire

concert and request that their wishes
be fulfilled without further delay.
Please inform me immediately that
your government is ready to carry out
the wishes of the great powers "

the presence of the fleet, which he
considered a violation of the neutral
ity proclaimed by the powers at the
beginning of the war and to the det
riment of Montenegro. The premier
continued:
“Despite the pressure which the
presence of the fleet Implies, there
will be no departure from an attitude
which conforms to the necessities of

to be handed over to them. Turkey

FEDERAL LOAN FOR DAYTON
Proposed to Ask for $20,000,000 to
$40,000,000 for Restoring City.
Dayton, Ohio.—" Dayton is facing
one of the gravest problems that any |
city of the world ever faces and we;
want the world to know we need |
monev and food for our stricken peo
ple," said John H. Patterson, president
of the relief committee, after he, re
turned, in company with H. E. Tal
bott, chief engineer, from a tour of
the sections of Dayton swept by the
flood.
In speaking of a tentative plan to
ask the federal government for a loan
of from $20,000,000 to'WIO.OOO.OOO to
be used In reconstruction work, Mr.
Patterson said:
"At a meeting of bankers and offi j
clals of the building associations, it
was decided to make an appeal for
federal aid. The banks and building'
associations have $60,000,000 worth
of assets which they will put up as >
collateral. It may be deemed advis- ;
able to ask the government to give
us some financial assistance. We feel
that the disaster is an emergency
which would justify extraordinary ac
tion on the part of congress."
Express Companies Hit Hard.
Washington.—Express companies of
the coutnry have been hit hard by
the operation of the new parcel post
system, according to a statement sub
mitted to the interstate commerce
commission by counsel for the com

against the reduction in express rates
proposed by the commission. It was
declared that the companies have suf
fered a loss approximating 25 per
cent, in small package business—a
loss which amounts to about 6 per
cent, ot the gross revenues.
’ 22 MEN LOSE LIVES ON SHIP
GERMAN SHIP TURNS TURTLE
WHILE WRECKING CREW IS
ON BOARD.
Ship Had Been on Rocks for Two
Month and Was Not Seri
ously Injured.
Bay City, Ore Twenty-two men,
including the ship's captain, the pres
ident of a wrecking company of Port
land and the representative of the
Marine underwriters, were trapped in
the hold of the German ship Mimi,
which capsized off the beach here
after having been hauled off a reef
on which she had been fast two
months.
A heavy sea was pounding the
wreck and life-savers refused to at
tempt a rescue. They said no boat
could be lauenhed and refused to let
volunteers take their boat.
The Mimi, in ballast for Valparaiso
from Astoria, piled up on the reef
February' 13 last. She was not seri
ously injured and the underwriters
contracted with Charles S. Fisher of
a Portland construction company to
float her. Fisher, his secretary and
seven riggers, Capt. W E. Crowe,
representative of the underwriters-;
Captain Westfall of the Mimi and
eleven of his men were aboatd the
ship when she capsized. AH were be
low deck when she lamed over.
The Mimi was hauled off the rocks
at high tide. It was determined to
take her to deep water at once, and
she was at anchor off the beach when
the rising wind and sea whirled her
over.
Life-savers fought all day to reach
her without successs. After they had
given it up and as dark was falling
the men on the wreck's bottom ap
peared.
i Seas are sweeping the wreck. The
I wreckage was seen and it was feared
i she was breaking up. Whether the
men aboard can hold on until the sea
t abates and the savers reach them is
I a problem. The hull is low in the
water and may sink from sight when
I the tide rises.

about three weeks, during which time
I used , which seemed to do me
no good whatever. Then, finally, I
thought of trying Resinol Soap and
