bitter contentious over the meat in

appropriation bill hinged on the SENATE
requirement that packers should place
the date OF manufacture on each can Of
meat.
The packers, however, insisted that
this was unwarranted, because they
claimed that meat, once put up in air
tight cans, would last forever. They
declared that canned meat was as good
in ten years as 1t was in ten days, and
they brought to bear testimony of an
official OF the department to corroborate
their statements. Some members Of

MINING FRAUDS IN BRAZIL.
Country Is Full Of Schemes to Obtain
Money Of Gullible,


Washington, July l7.--Consul Gen.
eral George Z. Anderson. in report to
the bureau OF manufacturers from Rio
Janeiro, charges that while some bona
fde Brazilian diamond mines may re-
suit prc6tably, that country is full Of
schemes which are either out-and-out
frauds or are based on claims and facts
so slight as 10 make them little less
than iraudp.
The report says the United States
and Great Britain. especially New
York. Chicago and London, are the
chief financial base oil operations for a
number OF promoters, who have never
done any mining. and that there are a
number OF so-called mining companies
now soliciting stock subscriptions In
the United States whose officers are not
even certain where the land they claim
as property lies.
The report states that experienced
men In Brazilian mining fields say that
not single mining company operating
in the gold and diamond fields OF Brazil
has paid dividend. The consul gem
eral adds that 1t Is lamentable fact
that large proportion Of the Brazilian
mining enterprises are frauds and that
there are now men OF the United States
with enterprises which represent moth
ing more than the money they can get
from the American public.

week cutting of grain will begin in sec.
tions where fall grain Is raised, and In
most sections barley will be ready to
cut by the last OF the week. Farmers
estimate that about half crop will be
harvested. The fall wheat will be No.

Eugene--The condition OF the crops
in the Upper Willamette valley, espec-
tally around Eugene, during the past
week have been excellent, and all the
farmers are happy. The haying season
is about half over and the crop to be
harvested will be one Of the largest for
years. The warm wave which has ex-
tended over the valley has been some-
what detrimental to the wheat crop,
which, according to the farmers, has
advanced too far. Harvest hands are
reported scarce, even with the good
wages offered.

Rugby.
 At Rugby, however, 1t was that the suspicious experiment in student seil- government begun at Winchester py Wykeham in the fourteenth century received It's fullest development. Tn 1927 Thomas Arnold, the most Illus trious of that long time of Headmas- ters who have adorned the annals or English edueation.- entered upon ms bold and noble task of changing the face of education of England. This change consisted in recognition of the fact that the boy Is moral being and the school Is a human society, that the chief end of education is the form ation of character and the conduct Of life and that this end can be attained only by the establishment of such Eovernment and guidance in the cor porate life of the shhool as will de- yelop moral character and give dany training in the conduct of life. This Ideal of Arnold, conceived in faith and carried out with daring devotion, can best be expressed in his own worlds

 Now, a government among boys themselves being necessary the actual constitution of public schools places 1t in the best possible hands. Those to whom the power is committed, are not simply the strongest boys, nor the oldest, nor yet the cieverest; they are those who have risen to the highest form in school--that is to say, they will be probably at once the oldest, and the strongest and the eleverest and further, if the school be well ordered. they will be the most respect able in application and general eharac- ter--those who have made the pest use of the opportunities which the school affords, and are the most capable or entering into it's objects.
