This government has just de-
cided to become party TO a new
International crop bureau that is TO
DE established in Rome. The move
ment is the work Of Victor Emanuel
of Italy aud the Italian government
will bear all OF the expense about
s., 900 a year which it will cost
each of the collection OF crop sta
tlstics from all the countries of the
world. The reports of harvests
and OF crop conditions would be
made first TO the central bureau and
thence telegraphed to all the sub
scribing countries. 1t is though:
that this would help the stability of
the worlds markets for staple crops
of all sorts and would prevent in a
very large measure the sudden
fluctuations in prices that are now
one of the most serious drawbacks
OF the farmers existance. This
country was wanted as a member of
the International bureaus because of
the Importance of the United Sta.
ties as an exporting country and as
the cost was thought very good
thing TO subscribe.

JULY FORECAST
Our Mid summer Weather According
to Our Local PrognosiIcatOr
Peter X. Smith.

July is most likely to continue
showery until the middle Of the
month is reached, and even still
later when the showers will lessen
IN numberand also in quantity, and
then be followed near the close of
the month by drought which may
last through the greater part Of the
remainder of the summer attended
BY very small quantity Of precipi
tauon and in many parts entirely
without any rain. The first general
rain waive will denote its coming
by an increase Of heat in the TEN
perature which will soon reach the
proportion of a hot wave and be
FELT in the central vallies about the
I'D or sd and in eastern sections
somewhat later. This wave is in
tensiiied by the union of exciting
influences which may continue to
disturb the metearology for four or
hive days. We may anticipate
from the causes present what wave
Will bring. The indications are for
much rain In many sections, in
other places local down.pours, hail.
electric showers, tornado action,
and cloud-burst, some and all of
these meteorological freaks will
happen at many different places
during the passage of the wave,
conformation of country over
which wave sweeps has much TO
do in developing these freaks.
About the 10 or II the causes which
excited the meteorology will be

on that and next date when the
heat will give way to a cooler period
for several days. The last storm

about the 81 or IS when we NAV

TO THE ARGUS READERS

Parents should be so much in.
terested in the schools of Preston
County, that they will do all in
their power to get a good County
Superintendent Of Free Schools.
Let all the voters vote for the
right man at election time. We
have the right man for the county
in the person of f. r. p. Grimes,
formerly of Newburg, but now en-
gagged IN business at Masontown.
We could write two columns about
Mr.. Grimes and his works but time
and space will not permit. Mr..
Grimes has thought several very
successful terms of school, with the
very best success. He is a very
able, intelligent, up.to date gentle.
man. He has always showed the
very best interest in the schools Of
Preston County. He believes in
helping the young inexperienced
country teachers, they are the ones
that need the most help and enco-
uragement. He does not believ in
leaving the out-of-the.way country
schools until the last day in the
afternoon. We are sure that by
his success in schools, and by his
whole souled interest in every thing
pertaining to school, he is entitled
to the office of County Superin;end-
ent of Free Schools. In the many
schools he has taught, ne has left a
great influence for good, more am
bition and higher ideals. He has
helped patrons and school officers
get new school buildings, libaries
and better school equipments. We
could write much more about our
future Superintendent but our time
will not permit. We are sure that
all the voters will 60 to the polls

FARMERS WILL SUFFER
Republican Beef Scandal viii Cause
Fall la Prices.

As the price Of cattle amt corn
decreases, ~ conso queuce e pub
fishing 10 the world the depravity
of the packers, the farmers will
have good cause Of complain,
against the administration. The
people have been taxed for years
to pay for a cattle and beef in
spection bureau that has charge of
it andare either incompetent or have
been induced blythe Beef Trus, to
overlook their depravity. There
should be an amendment adopted
to the meat inspection law, that all
those found guilty of tax inspection,
should be imprisoned with a diet of
embalmed beef and their cells kept
in the same condition as they al
lowed the packing houses to be in.
The public who are compelled to
use packing-house products care
blu, little or nothing about the in
temperate controversy between Cor
gresham Wardsworth and his Com
mittee on Agriculture and the Presi-
dent. What the people want is
"safe and sane" inspection that
they have been taxed to pay for,
blu. tina: evidently the Agricultural
Department has not provided, al
though having a regiment Of experts
and inspectors on its pay roll for
years past. Gen. Miles warned
the executive departments during
the Spanish war that our beef In
spection was farce, but the Packers
and the Agricultural Department
were whitewashed and Gen. Miles
was virtually punished for d, ing
his duty.
There can be no excuse, by those
in authority, for this scandal, which
has about ruined our export meat
business and will fall heavily on
the stock growers and farmers, by
decreased demand for corn and
cattle and its accompanying fall in
prices. Unfortunately Democratic
farmers who have voted to turn the
rascals out must suffer with RepubIi-
can farmers who have voted to keep
the rascals in and to perpetuate the
standpat policy that has been the
chief cause of this Republican era
of scandals.

We find that the officers Of the prison,
with the exception of the superintendent
and warden, take their meals in a dining
room and their food is prepared in the
kitchen, this dining room and Kitchen be-
ing located under the guard room; also
that the officers wash room is located
between this kitchen and pantry, and
opening out of the wash room is the Off
GERS bath and water closet. The female
prisoners are in the sole charge of the
matron and her female assistant, and arc
employed the greater part of the day,
under their supervision, in the kitchen
and pantry, which necesstates their pass
ing through the wash room and thereby
coming in contact with the guards and
officers. This, in our opinion, is con-
ditiou which should not exist, and We
recommend that suitable conVcnicnCcs for
the use of the guards and officers be pro-
vided elsewhere.

FOR SMALL BILLS
Secretary Shaw Sends Out Ap.
peal to Bankers to Sat-
isfy Need.
is NO LAW TO REGULATE
Demand for Notes of Small Denomina-
tion, Heavy Now, Will Be Great
er in Fall.

Washington, ID. c., July 9.-Secretary
Shaw has issued an appeal to the na.
tional banks to assist the government
in supplying the present demand for
notes of small denomination. Shaw re
quires that bankers issue as much as
possible of their circulation notes in s.
bills. indicating to them that there
is more need for such notes than for
putting out large denominations.
Worse I'm Fall.
The treasurer of the United States
is unable to meet, even at this season
of the year, the pressing demand for
notes of small denominations. The
coming autumn will greatly increase
this demand. In the absence of legis-
lation l am forced to appeal to the
national banks to use every reasonable
effort to relieve the situation.
In Power OF Banks.
IF each bank will do it's share there
will be no difficulty. Failing in this
there will be slight reason to complain
Of the inevitable shortage in small
bills.
