This nation has grown and harvested
an unusually large wheat crop and is
prepared TO attend TO the wants Of
France and other foreign countries,
Notwithstanding the enormous shortage
OF the corn crop due to the drouth.
That wheat and corn are bound to COM
mand excellent prices Is already as
sured. While In many cases the loss
to farmers Is heavy because Of the in

that the high prices now prevailing for

agricultural losses, particularly In the

that corn will not be a third Of crop.
Apples and grapes are almost total

report for August LIST makes the condi-
ton OF corn lower even than the federal
government estimates. There seems 20
be no question whatever that the coun-

extent Of not less than 40 per cent Of

TO PRESERVE RUINS.

The Mexican government is about to
take active measures for the preserva-
ton Of the antique ruins In different
parts Of the country. A commission has
been appointed by the department OF
public instruction to act in the matter
and representatives VIII be named to
visit the ruins Of Yuoatan, Palenque,
Militia, and many other places.
This is welcome news to all who be-
lleve that this continent has a grand
history. Those ruins are the monu-
ments Of that past, and the story they
tell is perhaps the most wonderful on
record. But It Is difficult to read. And
while scientists are studying the mys-
terles that are presented to them, the
ruins themselves are being destroyed
by the hand Of time. or by the en-
croachments Of civilization, not to speak
OF the destruction wrought by relic
hunters. In other words, the pages Of the
wonderful book In which Americas
past * partly recorded. are being des-
troyed while science slowly is trying
to learn and interpret the characters
there engraved. This should not be. The
precious volume should be taken good
care or Science should be given am
pie time to read, and to understand.
1t certainly deyolyes upon our enter
prislng neighbor republic to take care
Of the ruins within her borders, and
protect them as well as can be done
But In fulfilling this duty the country
places the entire world Of science I'M
der obligation to IT, For the preserya-
ton Of antiquities is a matter Of gem
eral and international interest.

Francis 3. Loomis, Minister to vene.

Washington, June 1.-THE follow.
ing changes in diplomatic posts were
announced during the day:
Francis B. Loomis, minister to Ven.
ezuela, has been transferred to be
minister to Portugal, vice John N. lr-
win of Iowa, resigned.
Herbert w. Bowen Of New York,
present minister to Persia, has been
transferred to Caracas. succeeding Mr..
Loomis as minister to Venezuela.
Lloyd G. Griscom of Pennsylvania.
present first secretary of legation at
Constantinople, has been made minis.
ter to Persia.
Spencer F. Eddy of Illinois, present
first escretary at Paris, has been
made first secretary at Constantine
pie, to succeed Mr. Griscom.
The change, so far as 1t concerns
the Venezuelan ministers, is said al
the state department to have no par
ticular political significance. Minis
ter Loomis goes elsewhere than Cara
cas- at his own request and desire. 1t
is true that the Venezuelan govern
ment has expressed dissatisfaction
with Mr.. Loomis in more ways than
one. but the fact that the minister is
not removed from the diplomatic serv-
Ice but is given another post of equal
dignity and honor is a mark of the es-
TEEN of the state department. Also
1t may be noted that Mr.. Bowen. the
new minister to Caracas, goes to his
post with instructions on the same
line as those supplied to Mr.. Loomis
which formed the basis for his ac-
tion. SO that Mr.. Bowen, who is a man
of great vigor. is likely to follow Mr.

A Cherokee Dish,

An article Of food much used by the
Cherokees is made from corn. The
process is first to soak the corn in
strong lye made from hickory ashes,
just as white people in the country
make hominy. This removes the hulls.
The corn is then put into large NOR
tar made by following out the end of
a large log and is pounded by a huge
pestle.
AS the process Of pounding goes on
the crushed corn is removed from the
mortar and riddled with sieve made
Of cane and then famed in the wind to
remove the hulls. The grit" as the
course meal is called, is then replaced
in the mortar and pounded into fine
meal. 1t is then boiled up with cny-
enne pepper and other ingredients. A
small amount of lye is left in the meal,
and it has n tendency to preserve it for
q long time However, If the stuff
sours. 1t is regarded us great deli
cacy. 1t Is known as "con-a-hanna."
The food Is sometimes varied by the
addition of nuts, which is considered
especially fine. With the nuts it is
called "ca-nutch."
In the oldcn times cakes were made
of "con-a-hanna" by baking the SUBJ
stance in rudely constructed rock
ovens or in hot ashes. These cakes
would keep for long time and, in con-
nection with the wild game, provided
nourishment for the Indians on their
long hunts. Many Of the older Chero-
KEGS still use the mortar and pestle to
make the dish.-Kansas City Journal.

The Kings Finger BOWL.

When member Of the royal family
comes to dinner, it is q point of eti-
quette to provide none but the illustri-
GUS guest with finger bowl at tie end
of the banquet. The other diners must
get on somehow without that conven-
ience.
The reason is curious one. In early
Georgian days one never knew who
was loyal. Every other man might be
q Jacobite in his secret heart. Now, it
was piece Of Jacobite ritual whenev-
er the toast Of "The King was drunk
secretly to pass the goblet over any
water that happened to be by the
drinker. This was supposed to con-
vert the toast into that of "The King
Over the Water" the exiled Stuart at

On this becoming known the court
Insisted that there should be no water
within reach of any guest, and the pro-
hibition still holds.-London News.
