STRIKING STOCK YARDS BUTCH.
ERs ASK FOR CONFERENCE
WITH EMPLOYERS.
LATTER REFUSE REQUEST, De.
cLARlNe NO GOOD COULD
POSSIBLY RESULT.
PACKERS DECLARE THAT UNcoN.
DiTloNAL SURRENDER Is
THEIR ONLY TERMS.

Chicago, Aug 29-Application was
made to the packers by the stock
yards strikers during the day for a
conference, the purpose beiyg to bring
about peace in the industrial conflict
waging at Packing Town. The con.
ference was refused by the packers.
The application came in the form Of
communication from the allied
trades council and was signed by Pres
1dent Matthew Carr of the allied
trades. The request was sent imme-
diately after the close Of joint meet
Ing of the national executive board Of
the Butcher Workmen's union and the
allied trades conference board and
was addressed to J. Ogden Armour
and his associates.
Mr.. Armour, upon receipt of the
communication, at once called the
heads of the other big packing plants
into session. When the meeting Of
the packers ended a communication
was addressed to President Donnelly
and his associates declining the confer
ence the strikers had asked for. The
reason given was that no good could
come from such conference.
There is nothing left for the men
but unconditional surrender" said a
packer. THE leaders should not hesi-
tate in calling the strike off SO that
the men, who are anxious, could find
work. Many of them will be rehired
In Packing Town, but there are thou
sands who must look elsewhere for
employment and they should be re-
leased SO they can begin their hunt
for work outside the stock yards 1t
does not make any difference what
peace proposal the strikers have to
submit-we shall not deal with the un.
ions. The only terms of surrender We
shall consider will be the return of the
men as individuals"

elected or been forced to give battle
and Is meeting the attack of the COM

Dispatches from the battlefield show
that at dawn the Japanese opened a
terrific artillery fire directed mainly
against the Russian center and right.
After four hours of CALLING shrapnel
hre the cannonading slackened and at
o'clock the Japanese general advance
began. An Associated Press dispatch
sent from Iiaoyang at $40 p. m. shows
that the battle was increasing in inten-

The Associated Press dispatches and
the Russian official report insist that
the Russians occupy a semi-circle of
about nine miles in length, protecting
Liaoyang, the center and right of this
line receiving the brunt of the fight

Tartnns of Scotch Clans.

Many Scotch clans have several tar
tans, such as common tartan, a hunt
ing tartan and a full dress tartan. Ear
ly in the day highlander of position
dons a kilt Of plain tartan, and in the
evening for dinner he puts on his full
dress tartan, with sporran and richly
jeweled dirk. For example, the Mac
pherson dress tartan is black and
white, with narrow red line, and the
hunting Macpherson is small blue
and black and red check. The Stuarts
have three tartans, and the design Of
their hunting tartan in dark blue and
green is particularly fine. Each clan
has its own badge. The Duff men wear
holly, the Gordons an ivy leaf, the
Stuarts an oak leaf, and so on.

The First Enrlfs, Slave T-,d.-

Sir John Hawkins was the first Eng
lish slave trader. He formed a COM
pany composed of the leading men of
London and fitted out three small ships,
which sailed in 1862. Later Queen
Elizabeth lent Hawkins Jesus, a large
ship Of her own Of 700 tons, and took
shares in the second African company.
She not only equipped the ship, but put
100 soldiers on board to provide for
contingencies. On the second voyage
Hawkins bought 400 negroes and had
narrow escape from losing them ow-
Ing to the lack of water when he was
near the equator. But, as he piously
recorded In his log, "The Almighty God
would not suffer his elect to perish and
sent breeze which carried them safe
to Dominica" This was the beginning
Of the slave trade, which lasted for
more than two centuries before it was
finally suppressed.

The conspicuous role played by agri-
culture at the Worlds Fair should
bring untold benefits and wealth to
the farming community of the world
and impress all farmers with the i'm
portance and dignity Of their calling.
Passing through these colossal build
ings, studying the attractive exhibits
and fascinated with the bewildering
encyclopedia of rural life which is
spread out before his eyes, the Worlds
Fair visitor is impressed with the i'm
portant part the farmer plays in the
great world Of industry, and every
farmer who views these interesting ex-
hibits is given new pride in his vo-
cation If filled with inspiration and i'm
pressed with new ideas in harmony
with the progressive strides that farm
hg has been making for the past few
gears. The visit will give an insight
into up to date farming on the most
approved plan and will bring new
hopes and blessings to the farm.
How properly to rotate crops, how to
get the best results from fertllizing and
irrigation, how to protect crops and
fruit from the ravages Of insects-all
these and many more things of vital
interest to farmers and fruit growers
Qre taught at the Worlds Fair.

FARMERS MONTH
AT WORLDS FAIR
Biggest Department of the Great Exposl.
ton Ready For the Inspection of the
Army of Men Who Made Its
Creation Possible.

Now that crops have been or are be-
ing laid by, the farmer prepares for his
trip to the Worlds Fair, treat that
has long been promised him and for
which ne has patiently waited. No ex-
position has offered so many induce
ments for the farmers presence as this
one at st. Louis, nor has any previous
exposition given the prominence and
space to the subject of agriculture.
August and September are ostensibly
the farmers months at the Exposition,
for it Is at this season that the agricul-
ture exhibits are the freshest and best,
Products Of the new crops are pouring
into the booths from every state in the
Union, and additions are constantly
being made to the gorgeous display.
Headquarters for visiting farmers
may be found in every state section of
the great Agriculture Palace, but for
their special convenience there has Just
been completed Grange House, stu
ated in the south end of the building,
1t is equipped with a reception room,
ladies' retiring rooms and check rooms,
where parcels may be left free of
charge Here will be kept a list of
moderate priced rooms to aid visiting
farmers and their families in procuring
accommodations.
The largest building on the grounds
Is the Palace of Agriculture, covering
twenty acres, while the Palace of Hor-
ticulture near by covers about a third
as much space. These two immense
structures are filled with exhibits of
the farm, garden and orchard of the
most extensive and elaborate character,
every state in the Union and most of
the principal countries Of the world
being represented.
Agriculture Is given more prominence
than any other department at the En-
position, the paramount Importance of
this great industry having been fully
appreciated from the very beginning
Of the Worlds Fair movement
About seventy acres of ground are
covered by the agriculture and horti-
culture department at the Fair, large
outdoor spaces being devoted to this
industry. Outside there are growing
crops, trees and flowers, an instructive
six acre farm maintained by the Unit
ed States Government Plant Industry,
and gardens in all parts of the grounds.
There are more exhibits in the Agri-
culture building than in any other Sec
tion of the Exposition. This building
Is considered by many people the most
interesting part Of the Worlds Fair.
The exhibits in the palaces of Agri-
culture and Horticulture constitute a
display vast enough and instructive

The Mammoth and the MOSQUITO

What has come to pass In thousands of
years seems hardly credible. Primitive
man, a weakling in comparison to modern
man, was able t, conquer the huge mon.
the Mammoth, and to-day they are dead
forever; yet the mosquito and fly have
never been conquered. 1t is now time
for the scientist to devise methods for kill
ing the mosquito and fly, so that they will
go to join the mammoth and the monster
lizards. The mosquitoes and fies are dam
contagion. The mosquito often carries the
germ of malaria with his bite. The house:

st. Petersburg, Aug. 31.-Direct
news from Lieutenant General Stoes.
sci, commander of the Russian mill
tary forces at Port Arthur, up to Aug
rs, Of favorable character, has been
received here.
General Stoessel's report says that
the Japanese attacks were repulsed
till Aug 27, with heavy loss to the at.
tackers. He gives no details of the
positions held or the Russian losses in
men, but says the officers suffered sc.
verely, especially the younger ones.
Some of the larger Russian guns were
placed out of action by the Japanese
batteries and were replaced by field
pieces.
The general describes the stencil
from the decaying bodies between the
lines as being horrible. He reports
that the morale of the garrison is ex.
cellent.
Finally the general recommends
Generals Fock, Kondratenko, Smirnoff
and others for bravery and devotion.

In the state of Colombia there is a
large ant (Atta cephalotes) which
causes great deal Of injury to planta-
tions. 1t attacks and carries off indis-
criminately all kinds of foliage, and no
sort of vegetation seems to come amiss
to 1t. The quantity Of foliage carried
off by these ants is immense. A natu-
ralist recently investigated the uses to
which the ants put this mass Of vege-
table matter, and lie ascertained that
they employ it to make hotbeds upon
which their eggs are deposited to be
Matched by the heat produced by the
fermentation Of the leaves. The ants do
not cat these portions for food, and the
larvae are fed upon carefully selected
diet Once the brood Is hatched the
ants clear away the hotbed, carrying
out Of their nest all the decomposed
vegetable matter. This is thrown out
IN heaps apart, and in the large ant
hills these heaps will contain bushels
and upward.

The Food Value of nuts.

Nuts are not only the cheapest source
Of energy; they are the best. They are
made up of fat and what is called "pro-
tein." The little husks on the nuts are
not nourlshing, but they should be eat
en- with the nuts because they help In
digestion.
But nuts are SO hearty food that
they should never be eaten except as
the chief dish at meal; they should
not be taken at the end of a heavy
meal nor between meals. It is quite as
foolish to eat nuts after meal as It
would be to eat beefsteak after a
three course dinner.
HGts can be made Into soups, can be
used in sandwiches, salads and in 9TH
er combinations both attractive and
wholesome. They should be eaten with
salt and eaten with all sorts of fruit. A
whole wheat pudding with chopped
nuts In 1t makes meal by itself.
Nuts will keep you warm, give ener-
gy, and, If you do not work too hard,
they will increase your flesh, but do not
eat nuts to any amount unless you give
up meat, for they are substitute, not
a food accessory.
