In times past, the farming interests
of this country were concerned only as
to the condition of the breadstufs crops
of the Old World when figuring upon
the strength of the demand for their
products, but now other crops are within
the zone of this annual interest in the
fortunes of foreign husbandmen. Since
California developed her great fruit IN
dustry news as to the grape and fig
crops of Europe are of interest also.
Consul Il. l.. Harris reports from
Smyrna that the raisins and figs have
been seriously damaged by thunder
storms accompanied by hail, and in con-
sequence there will be reduction of
from 80 to 35 per cent. in the crop of
raisins and falling off of 10 to 20 per
cent. in the crop of figs.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. l5 William ].
Bryan win accept the Democratic
nomination for President in 1908, but
he will neither ask nor make a fight

he has been pressed to answer the
question, "Will you accept a nomina-

entitled to an answer to know the po-

Something Like Jumping.

The best story of a horses jumps
which comes to mind is that Of Cal.
ifornia cowboy He was taking steers
to Leadyille, and had camped for the
night on Bear river, near its conjunc-
tion with the Little Snake. In the
middle of the night something oc-
Cured to stampede the cattle. The
man mounted his bronco and rode
hither and thither on the flank Of the
herd until their fright had died away.
-Four or five times the rider felt his
horse give tremendous leaps, and with
daybreak he discovered the cause.
The cattle had climbed to level
plateau which is intersected by 4
canyon four miles long and from 1900
to 1000 feet deep. Its walls incline
toward each other at the top, where
the distance is is or 20 feet. In riding
the man had kept the steers circling
about this plateau. A dozen Of them
he found had fallen down the canon
and been killed.
Hoof marks showed him that the
great jumps made by his horse were
occasioned by the animals clearing
the canyon each time it came to the
taking off spot.

The American delegation at The Hague
conference, headed by Gen. Horace Por-
ter, has presented the proposition that
the Commandment of unfortified and un-
defended towns or buildings be forbidden,
but that such places are liable to damages
incidental to the destruction of military
or naval establishments, and are liable to
bombardment when they refuse reason
able acquisitions for provisions and sup
plies. 1t Is also proposed that the bonn
bardment of unfortified towns for the
nom payment of ransom be forbidden. The
Germans propose that hospital ships can
not be captured, not being considered as
warships, and that private hospital ships
may enjoy the same privilege as those
authorized by governments, providing that
they assist the wounded without distinc-
ton of nationality. The British propose
an international court of appeals In re-
gard to prizes captured at sea. France
proposes that the powers may appoint an
International commission of inquiry In
case of disputes of an international char
acter, the investigation to be conducted
secretly, and the reports to be made pub
lie only II both sides agree; the decis-
ion, however, not to be mandatory.

NEW FAD OF KANSAS FARMERS

Have Public Sales to Dispose OF
Stock and Farming Implements.
Never was there such an epidemic of
public sales on the farms as this
spring. Seven auctioneers have been
kept busy and others are In training
for auctioneers' schools Some Of the
auctioneers are "Colonels-" They claim
that title when they have "cried' 100
sales.
But it is only the result of the farm
ers getting rich-and Of the land boom
which causes much change of location.
Central Kansas has reached time
when the farmers who have made their
home here, writes an Abilene CORE
spondent of the Kansas City Star, have
acquired more material than they need
to run their farm, or are anxious to
change their residence, and so want to
have "sale." They go to the county
seat and make arrangements with the
auctioneer, and have their bills print
ed. The latter are put up in the post
office or are scattered on the fence
posts Of the vicinity.
The attendance on the public sales
is usually good, nothing but bad wealth
er keeping the farmers of the vicinity
away. The women frequently accom-
pany their husbands and form an in
tefested portion of the audience when
the household goods and canned fruit
are sold.
The crowd that has looked over the
possessions of the household curiousfy
and nodded at the various flaws In the
implements of the farmyard has also
had a rude sort of entertainment. On
every sale bill in large letters appears
Free lunch at noon," and some Of
them have the additional legend.
Bring your tin cups" This Is Greek
to the city resident, but the farmer
knows what 1t means. 1t is a promise
that there will be great steaming cans
of coffee. with plenty of sandwiches
and perhaps pickles. The task Of pro-
viding cups for hundred or two visit
ors Is a formidable one, and the pru-
dent housewife asks that the Corners
bring cups to use at this function. The
habitual auction attendant Ia fully
equipped with the cups to use on such
occasions.
During the winter all sales begin at
10 o'clock. but as the days lengthen the
noon start Is more common. 1t all de-
ponds upon the amount of material to
be sold. Sometimes there is something
more than coffee to drink. but not
often.
The amount Of property changing
hands In this growing method Of dis
posing of used farm material Is enor.

seventy five sales have been held since
