LIQUORS IN AFRICA
DETAILS OF SUCCESS ATTAINED
AT BRUSSELS CONFERENCE.

Details OF the success attained at the
Brussels conference of nations regarding
liquors in Africa have just been received by
The Star in a letter written by Dr. Wilbur
+. Crafts. 1t is stated that great strides
have been taken TO bring about the prohi-
bition of the sale of liquor and opium
among savage and seni-civilized races. DR..
Crafts says he is staring on general cam
paign of speechmaking in most Of the cities
of the British Isles so that the whole En-
glish-speaking race may be enlisted in the
cause. Emphasis is placed upon the ma
teral aid granted the American emissaries
by President Roosevelt and by @,cretary
Root. Mr.. Crafts wrote in part. as follows:
when about to start for Europe to at
tend the Brussels conference of nations on
liquors In Africa. October ;, DIR. j. G. But
Ter, president of the International Reform
Bureau. and l called upon President Roose-
Welt. He told us that he had already acted
upon the petitions of American churches
and chambers OF commerce. and had made
an effort to secure abrogation of the treaty
with China which practically compelled toll
Grafton of British opium traffic in that coun-
try, and further that he had secured the
cooperation of Japan to the same end.
Purpose of Call.
1.-THE special purpose of the call was TO
the Brussels conference that should express
Americas desire that all civilized govern
ments should unite to prohibit the sale to
unciyiAzed races of all intoxicants and
opium. There was no precedent for such
message, but the President gave a new
illustration of the directness of his Golden
Rule diplomacy by prompt acceptance of
the novel proposal. Within an hour of
starting for Europe i saw Secretary Root.
and he also said this government Is with
us on both propositions: as to opium In
China and liquors for savage races.
Arriving at Brussels / found that not
only had the President sent a telegram. in
which he had appealed for such prohibit
ton for all child races. as We have provid-
ed for our Indians. but our minister pleni-
potentiary, Henry Lane Wilson. had sent in
a strong letter, and with 1t he had sent In
my own memorandum, giving full record
OF the expressions of American officials and
OF religious and commercial bodies on this
subject. Even in Europe President Roose-
Welt may do. without offense what no one

Modern Threshing.
From the Export Imnlement Age.

From the Export lmnlement Age.
Thirty years ago threshing time was one
of the most strenuous occasions that came
to the farmers annual experience and was
something that was dreaded as much by
the women folks Of the house as the farmer
himself, as 1t required two or three days to
thresh the average crop, with fifteen and
twenty men and as many teams to be fed
and housed, and the stacks Of fried chicken
and apple pie that disappeared during these
days was something wonderful to behold
This is now all changed. The threshing
crew come down the road with their whole
outfit en- train. pull In alongside of the
stacks and in ten minutes are at work, and
no one Is surprised IL they are threshing
ten bushels minute. The sheaves being
fed automatically the threshed grain runs
directly INTO the farmers wagons, the straw
being stacked automatically, taking away
most Of the laborious and dirty part of the
work of the old times, and for the average
farmer one day cleans up the whole job
and the thresher has moved on to the next
setting.
