Young Will Address Labor
Men In WdIId WdIld

day night on the Industrial political
situation
In view of the vigorous fight Mr..
Young and President Samuel Gompers
of the National federation, has been
making against the political ambitions
of Congressman Jones, Mr. Young's
speech here promises to be one of the
political sensations of the campaign.
The address will be given under the
auspices of the local trades council,
but just where it will be delivered has
not been definitely settled, the belief
being general that the labor temple will
be too small to hold the big crowd who
will want to hear Mr. Young.
Mr.. Harris states that the executive
board had a very successful meeting,
but found that organized labor in
North Yakima was sadly disorganized
by the prevalence of the Yakima
spirit which is intense in its loyalty
to Congressman Jones. In view of
this. it is probable that no further eff
forts Will be made to organize a cen
trail labor body in North Yakima will
be made until after the campaign.

MYSTIC ALPHABET.
Pennsylvania Man Seeks to Aid In
Trustbusting.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-If the
invention of a Shippensburg, Pa, man
is adopted by the government, Attorney
General Bonaparte and his trustbust-
ers will use mystic alphabet" in
their 'secret" correspondence The
Pennsylvania genius has concocted a
brand new style of letters, remotely
resembling ancient cuneiform hero
glyphics, which he offers to the gov
ernment, through the attorney gener-
al. 'for what it is worth"
BY vast stretch of the imagination
it is possible to discern some part Of
each letter of the alphabet in the pen
scrawls, but the inventor thinks he
has so disguised each with flourishes,
dots. quirlequews, and extra lines, that
danger of detection is minimized.

The farm improvement idea is
brand new one in many respects.

In brief his plan embodied the fol-
lowing points: On every quarter sec

the farmers owning land in each quar-

That would mean four dwellings and
four families within speaking dis

PhiIippine Teachers.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-Civil
service examinations for teachers in
the Philippines will be held today and
tomorrow in cities throughout the
country. Many additional pedagogues
are needed in the islands, owing to the
establishment of new schools and the
retirement of teachers now there, who
have completed their terms of service.
The positions pay a minimum salary
of $1,000 per annum and promotions up
to a superintendency at salary of
$4,000 are rapid. Women will be ac-
cepted only if, they have relatives,
present or prospective, in the Philip

dangerous for a lineman 20 climb the
stick
The woodpeckers' object in drilling
the holes is uncertain. One telephone
man said that the humming of the
wires was mistaken by the birds for
insects excavating beneath the surface
of the wood, and that they drilled the
poles in quest of these imaginary in
sects. 1t is very probable, however,
says the forest service expert, that
the holes are excavated for storage
purposes. The woodpecker is pro-
vident bird. At the proper season it
torres up a supply of acorns and 9TH
er foods for future consumption. In
the summer these holes are often
found stored with acorns.
Many methods for preventing the
damage have been suggested. but pro-
badly the most successful is said to-
be preservation with cdeosote. line
of creosote poles, opposite the one near
Covington, was examined, and not a
single hole was found.

cutter, the corn cleaner, and the
bruisng mill. Still further utiliza /
ton is possible in pulling the plow,
running the reapers and threshing
grain.
Because the wages of the day labor
er are constantly increasing, PodDiel-
ski says that the initial cost to the
farmer in machinery would be more
than repaid in the cheapness of the
work done, and the faithfulness of a
mechanical helper that doesn't eat
meals nor loaf while the current is on.

''AIdSkd" Wheat
Is a Rank Fake

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-Someone
has been trying to string" the farmers
of the country.
According to experts of the depart
ment of agriculture the exploitation of
the so-called Alaska" wheat. which
is said to be about four times the size
of ordinary American wheat in head,
and to yield under ordinary soil con-
ditions," 200 bushels to the acre, is al
most as rank a fake as the Cardiff
giant
For the past few months articles
glowingly descriptive of the alleged
newly discovered grain, and predicting
a consequent revolution in the wheat
industry of the nation, have been
widely published in magazines and
newspapers
DR.. Galloway, chief of the bureau of
plant industry, thus explodes the pre-
tensions of the Alaska" wheat BOOM
ers:
"This variety of wheat has been
known for many years, both in this
country and in Europe. It has been
tried at several state experiment sta
tions in the western part of the Uni
ted States during the past Is years,
but nowhere have the yields been high
enough to merit attention. 1t has been
grown to a very limited extent on
certain heavy, undrained soils in
France for many years. In such loca-
ton it is said to yield rather better
than ordinary wheat, but as it is one
of the poorest wheats known for max
ing flour, it is never grown where the
ordinary varieties of the grain will
thrive

NATIONAL GOLF MEET.
Two-Day Tournament Being Opened
Near Boston.

BOSTON, Aug. 26.-The well known
links of the Myopia Hunt club, at
Hamilton, near this city, are again the
scene of an enthusiastic gathering of
golfers from all over the country, to
participate in the tournament opened
today for the open golf championship
Of the United States.
The tournament will last two days.
The play today is at 36 holes, and the
same on the second day, making a to-
tai of 72 holes. There will be ten
money prizes. The winner will receive
$500, in addition to the gold medal,
and the other purses will range from
$3.50 to 500 Amateurs winning any of
the prizes will receive the value in
plate. Contestants whose scores at the
close of the first days play exceed by
fifteen strokes the tenth place will be
eliminated from the play on the second
day.
This is the fourth time the open
championship has been held on the
links of the Myopia club. Some of the
professionals prominent in previous
meets are not here, having boycotted
Myopia because of alleged shabby
treatment in former years. The entry
list is large, however, and the play
will doubtless be as close and excit-
ing as any ever seen on the Hamilton
links.
