A. L. Cheney to Be Urged for Public
Printer

Special Dispatch to The Star.
OYSTER BAY, L. l., August 31.-The fact
that II has not been denied by Secretary
Loeb that Public Printer Stillings is to be
removed to make way for some one more
popular with the people, as well as with the
labor unions, and that many politicians of
prominence are already after his scalp, has
led the citizens of this place to a more open
advocacy Of the claims of Albert l.. Cheney
the editor of the Oyster Bay Pilot, for the
position. The business men here point out
that the Presidents own town has received
little or no recognition from him In the way
of patronage, and, regardless of political
affiliations, there is a tendency among all
classes to resent it. A delegation, now that
IT seems certain that Mr.. Stllings is to CO.
will wait upon the President in the near

of Maryland, and Maj. James E. Bell In
spector general of rife practice. District
of Columbia Militia, were present This
committee was appointed by Maj. Gen.
Dick. president of the National Guard Of
ficers' Association.
The committee virtually agreed upon the
course now used by the District Of Colun1-
bia National Guard for qualification up to
and including sharpshooter. The expert
course to be adopted includes the distances
and conditions of the pistol match fired in
the National Guard competition at Camp
Perry The only difference is that the Is
targets are to be used throughout the
course. The time and place was selected
for the meeting of the committee because
it gave the members an opportunity to con-
fer with the revolver shots who gathered
here from all parts of the country. Maj.
Isbell of the Connecticut National Guard
was present and took part in the delibera-
tions upon the adoption of the course.
At the present time no two states have
the same course for revolver practice. This
is intended to replace the great variety of
revolver qualifications and reduce 1t TO
system, and no doubt 1t will be as effective
as course c in producing system which
will be appreciated by all revolver shots In
the National Guard.
Banquet by the President.
A banquet was given last night by Gen.
James A. Drain of New York, president of
the National Rifle Association of America,
at which forty-two states and territories

lishment were represented. After a few
remarks by Gen. Drain toast

welt amid much enthusiasm.
The interior OF the banquet han of the
Ohio State Rife Associations clubhouse was
attractively decorated for the OCCASION.

Drain, with Gen. Bates, Col. Evans. Gen.

Sergt. schriver's Hard Luck.


The i'll luck of Sergt. Schriver in getting
five misses at the 1.O0O-yard stage was the
only unfortunate incident which happened
to the District team. He was under the
impression that he was going over the tar
get and attempted to lower his elevation,
thinking he would land in the right place.
Instead of getting on the target he was
shooting into the large figures on the bank
In front of the target, and did not discover
where his shots were hitting until after
several shots. When he did get on II was
too late, and as a result only scored IL.
He had been leading the entire team up
to this time, and his downfall was keen
ly regretted. Capt Summers and Sergt.
Groome led the team, with Al each at the
long range.
The District boys when they commenced
firing at the 10OO-yard range found the
light changing constantly, which made
it very trying and difficult for the men to
get good results. The morning was gray
ish and was about half way between rain
and sunshine. The light at times was feath-
cry and would then fade away and leave
the conditions dark for the men to shoot
under. AS the targets would light up the
men would not be quick enough to see II
while aiming, and high shots would lnvaria-
bly, result. As noon approached the con-
ditions appeared to improve. The wind
conditions were not troublesome to any
extent, although the mirage was unusually
heavy and puzzling to the shooters. The
District team put up an uphill hght, put
could not hold its place, and finally fell
back to fifteenth place, where 1t remained
to the finish.

Founded Seventeen Years Ago.
The institution which will occupy this
building was founded seventeen years ago
at the first pan-American conference held
In Washington in the winter OF 1889 1890 and
presided over by James G. Blaine. The
original object. as announced. was that Of
making the American republics better ac-
quainted with each other and of exchanging
information about their respective resources
and trade. 1t never however, had the COM
plete support and interest of the United
States, or Of her sister nations. until Mr..
Elihu Root. Secretary of State of the
United States. made his memorable visit
in 1908 to South America. The third pan
American conference. assembled at Rio
Janeiro, Brazil, in 1906 which he attended,
passed strong res OIut1OnS IN 1dVOr or the
reorganization of thu bureau and outlined
a plan to make it a worldrecogniZed institu-
ton for the promotion of both commerce
and comfy.
The bureau is strictly an international and
Independent organization, subordinate to no
department of the United States govern
ment, and maintained by the joint
tributions, based on population, of the twen-
ty-one American governm ants. Its af-
fairs are under the administration of chief
officer, called director, who Is elected by
the governing board Of the bureau con-
sisting of diplomatic representatives in
Washington of the Latin American govern
ments, presided over by the Secretary of
State of the United States. The present
director is John Barrett, former United
States minister to Colombia, Panama, Ar
gentina and Siam. The secretary of the
bureau Is Dr. Francisco J. Yanes, an emil
nent Latin-Anerican scholar. Since the
new administration took charge of it's af-
fairs, the correspondence of the bureau
has quadrupled, while the demand for It's
printed publications has tripled. Its prac-
teal use is demonstrated by the fact that
during the last six months it has developed
business that has added at least $15,O0O00O
to the value Of pan-American foreign COM
merce. Its present object, in short, is not
only to advance commerce and trade, but
to strengthen comfy and friendship among
all the republics of the western hemisphere.

A Ration for Washington Cows.

A Port Angeles, Wash, reader of
Hoard's Dairyman sent that paper the
following inquiry: would like to
have you balance ration for me out
of the enclosed list of feeds, with
clover and timothy hay and oat hay
for roughage Goats was cut when the
grain was in the milk, COWS eat 1T
with relish, COWS weigh from 800 to
1000 lbs. in all periods of lactation.
Have to buy all my grain. Had IL
COWS last year; they made 1908 lbs.
butter, besides keeping family of
six in milk and butter. Received from
creamery $70452; they charge 3 cents
for making and allow us 1870 overrun.'
The editor of the Dairyman replied:
"In selecting feeds for making ration
it is not only necessary to take. into
consideration their composition, their
effect upon the animal but also their
relative prices. From the feeds nam
ed we select bran, shorts and rolled
barley and suggest that they be mixed
in equal parts by weight and for each
to 3.5 lbs. of milk produced give
one pound of the meal together with
all the clover and timothy and oat
hay the COWS will clean up"

err to be on the lookout for this pest.
The best way to avoid it is to take
preventive measures early. With seed
free from infestation on new ground
the injury is not serious, but the moth
is so generally distributed that by the
second year the ground becomes in
tested and great losses occur. The
moth deposits eggs near the base of
the stalk or in the eye of an exposed
potato. If deposited on the stalk the
larva when Matched burrows down
ward and will likely kill the vine. The
injury done by the worm affords a
lodging place for fungus and rot to
follow. Potatoes left in piles after
digging and covered with vines are
quite certain to become infested if
there are any moths flying, as these
usually are. The moth will also de-
post eggs in stored potatoes. To fight
the worm in the stored spuds carbon
bi-sulphid is used, placing it in open
vessels on top of the piles, at the rate
of ~ pounds of bi-sulphide to 1000
cubic feet of space occupied and re-
peating every two weeks
