Delightful Series Of Entertainm

Mr.. and Mrs. L. Kells and Miss
Mabel Kells have been giving a
series OF most delightful entertain
ments. On Saturday afternoon Mrs.
Kells entertained company OF
ladies at thimble bee. In the even
ing Miss Mabel Kells gave party to
the members of the ]. F. F. club.
On Monday Mr.. and Mrs. Kells
gave party to friends and neighbors
The reputation of Mr.. and Mrs. Kells
as host and hostess is so we'll es-
tablished to say that everything was
Au Faut, would be saying what every
body knows.
The series closes with a party given
tonight similar to the one on Monday
night but with different people. Mr..
and Mrs. Kells and Miss Mabel have
so many friends that they cannot
entertain them all at one time.

WORST FAMINE
RUSSIA HAS HAD
GRAIN CROP IS MIL
LIONS OF BUSHELS SHORT.
situation Interests American Farmer,
rs Shortage Will Cut Down Russia
as Factor In International Market
Chance for DurTm Wheat.

From Pioneer Press Washington
Bureau.
Washington, Dec. 3O.-Although the
;i,al results Of the crop Of 1906 in
time, enough is known te make it
clear to government experts .iere that
the Russian peasant is facing one of
t:.e worst famines Russia H. Known
during the last twenty years.
According to the preliminary report
"f the central statistical committee,
the entire crop of winter wheat equals
aSs.oOO,000 bushels, and of spring
65a.Oo0,oOo bushels. This makes the
wheat crop 10O,000,O0O bushels short
If the previous years crop and more
than 130,000,00O bushels short of the
crop Of 1904. The wheat crop of 1906
is the smallest Russia has had since
1901.
Interests the Farmer.
Discussing the Russian grain short
age, the Official Crop Reporter of the
department. of agriculture for Deem
her says in part:
1.-The interest of the American
farmer in this situation is not only
an altruistic one, for it's effects upon
the international grain market will be
important. Already the unusual situa-
ton is met with that Kronstadt from
which port many millions of bushels
of rye have been shipped in previous
years, has recorded during this autumn
'-UIiSlucTdple OI rye from TER
many and Denmark. But it is upon
the wheat market that the influences
will be most felt, as more than 80
per cent of the net wheat crop of Rus
STA goes to supply the international
market.
Durum Wheat.
During recent years the production
Of durum wheat in the United States
has rapidly increased, having reached
now an estimated total of 50,000,000
bushels, of which the domestic market
nay not absorb more than 100000
bushels, and the remainder is avail
able for European markets, primarily
those of the Mediterranean ports, where
the demand for durum wheat is strong
est. 1t was in these that Russia knew
almost no competitors.
The present shortage strikes with
eatest severity just those. regions
where durum wheat, which is a spring
wheat in Russia, is raised. Whatever
sVring wheat has been gathered Is
recognized to be of a very inferior
lEality, both as to weight and appear
4nce. The time seems propitious for
considerable extension of exports Of
j!;:rum wheat from this country to
i.uropeon markets, mainly to Southern
france and Italy"

Surgery Without Scars.

Scarless surgery is numbered among
the most recent achievements in medi-
cal science. 1t is explained that in
making the first incision the scalpel
does not cut the skin at right angles
with the surface, but passes through
it at slant.
After the operation is performed a
rigid dressing of wool and glass is 3p-
piled to prevent contraction and as
much pressure is brought TO bear on
the wound as is safe According to
foreign advices the London surgeon
who conceived the idea and success
fully put it in practice is unable to
meet the demands for his services.

Sunday morning, to the s1Yprise OF
her friends and the dismay Of some,
Miss Swigart announced her intention
of walking to Pasadena, her home.
There were those who tried to dis
suade the intrepid young woman, but
she would have none of them.
No official time was taken and so
no record will be allowed, but Miss
Swigart walked every step of the nine.
teen miles from Claremont to Pasa'
dena and arrived home in time for din.

that four years of college life and
work need not unfit girl for physical
effort.

1t was explained to him that the ex-
cursiOns were not cut of through any
antagonism to the college, but because
of the general plan to make no ex-
cursion rates nor reductions in states
where there had been rate legislation.
The excursions were started ten
years ago by the offer of Pres. J. J..
Hill of the Great Northern, after an
address to the farmers at the Tri-
State Grain Growers convention in
Fargo, to bring fifty farmers from each
county to the A. C. After the first
years success with the excursions he
decided to continue them free, which
was done for few years and later a
nominal charge was made merely
enough to cover the operating ex-
penses of the train. The Northern
Pacific always charged small sum
for the same purpose.
The excursions have served great
purpose in establishing better rela-
lions between the farmers of the state
and the college and the members of
the faculty. From 1900 to 5000 farm
ers have annually visited the exper.
iment station and have gotten new
ideas of how to work. Many became
interested and sent their sons and
daughters to the college and the plan
has been the best advertisement pos
sible for the college.
Naturally there is great regret and
disappointment at the A. G. over the
failure to have the excursions con-
tinued. 1t had been hoped to get
many of the new settlers from the
western part OF the state here this
summer.

actual cutting of the river bed has be-
gun not days work should be done
in the Mississippi until mattresses con-
structed of willows of lumber, have
been placed on the bottom of the Mis-
souri, clear to its confluence with the
Mississippi. They declare that not
only will this prevent the Mississippi
from hereafter filling up with sand
and salt from the Missouri, but that
it will have the effect of keeping the
Missouri from spreading and cutting
new channels and the current will be
held in fixed channel and the force
of the water will keep the mattressed
bed clean and unobstructed
Men who "read water" say the riv-
er channel from Fort Benton and New
Orleans fifty years ago, was deeper
by fifteen feet than it is today. And
much of the filling in is charged by
them to the lack of navigation. When
more boats plyed between the points
named the declare, the churiing of
"side wheelers" kept in motion the
sand that was washed into the Miss
issipp from other streams and it had
no chance to accumulate in bars and
soon harden until it must be entirely
removed by swiftly moving flood wa
tiers to be again set in motion.

TO MATTRESS THE BOTTOM Of MIS-

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
st. Louis, May 15.-The revival OF
the agitation for the deepening of the
Mississippi river between ST. Louis and
the gulf to an extent that will enable
ocean steamships to touch st. Louis
and open this port to the commerce OF
the world has produced many ideas
for excavating the channel and keep
ing it excavated. Old rivermen, famil-
lar with the mighty Mississippi, and the
boiling, churning, unstable yellow Mis-
souri, river, declare the Missouri river
furnishes more sand than any other
stream in the United States. This
declaration is based on the swiftness
of the current and comparatively
narrow channel and the fact that the
salt and sand poured into the Mississ-
ippi is a constant menace to naviga-
ton below the mouth of the latter,
while above that point steamers ply
comparatively free from the danger
of grounding on suddenly formed and
unchartered sand banks. In digging
a channel to deepen the Mississippi,
according to the various opinions OF
various champions of the project,
work should commence in the channel
of the Missouri river, even as far as
200 miles above st. Joseph, Mo. After
