Washington. July 27.--considerable curiosity exists in Washington as to whether the Dutch government. in de- spatching the cruiser Gelderland to Venezuela. contempfates any further steps than merely the protection of Dutch interests in that country"
 This Is rather an elastic term and may be called upon to cover wide lati- tude of action. It is possible that The Netherlands government. in view of the anti-venezuelan demonstrations in willemstad on Saturday and Sunday fear reprisals by Venezuelans on Hol- flanders residing in that country and thinks 1t best to have available a war ship in case of emergency. Curacao merch ants claim to have suffered fi- nancial loss as a result of various or ders of President. Castro since the prevalence of the bubonic plague. but it is not believed here that the Dutch government expects to take any retail iatory steps in Venezuela to try to redress such grievances. At any rata whatever the plan may be. Holland has not communicated her intentions to tn is government and nothing indicative of her course is known officially tn Washington.

German Consul In Charge.

Caracas, July 25, via Port Of spain, July 27.-The German minister has taken charge of the Dutch interests here, in view of the dismissal by Pres ident Castro of M Dereus. The Meth erlands minister from Venezueal M. Dereus is waiting the arrival of Dutch warship at Porto Cabello.
 He claims that his offensive publl- cation had the approval of The Meth eriands government. saying that he re- ceived a cableEram yesterday from Hagure approving his note and fn- structing him to insist upon an inter view with President Castro; but this Is impossible. as diplomatic relations between the two countries have been severed. A decree issued today raises the duty on straw paper and wood paper of the third class.

Washington, D.

wfllemstad. Island of Curoca. July 27.-The serious nature of the situa- tion that has arisen between The Meth eriands and Venezuela was emphasized today by the issuance of arders to the Dutch cruiser Gelderiand to proceed at once to Venezuela to protect the Dutch interests there.
 The Gelderland arrived here with T D. Dereus, The Netherlands minister resident, at Caracas on board. who was dismissed from Venezuela by President Castro. It was only a few hours after the cruisers arrival that the orders for an immediate return to Venezuela was received. The departure of the Venezuelan consul. Senor Lopez. has resulted in cessation of the riots which grew out of the antlVenezueian sen timent here on Saturday and sunday. The city is now calm and the troopS which were patrolling the streets have been withdrawn to their barracks.
 Great joy was manifested by the population here when 1t became known that the Venezuelan consul. Senor Lo- peg, who tack refugG in the German consulate after mob of Curacoa na- tives had stormed the Venezuelan con- sulate, had taken passage for Porto Cabello. on the steamer Maracaibo-
 The population of the Island is quite calm. The troops have been with drawn and returned to barracks. No casualties resulted, from the attack made last night on the dwelling of Venezuelan resident and the demon stration before the residence of the Venezuelan consul. As Consul Lopez was going from his residence at noon to the consulate, escorted by troops. to remove the official papers the mob nearly caught him. but he was saved by the arrival of more troops.
 This afternoon the conaufs wife and children were escorted to the steamer Maracaibo by the attorney general. They were not moiested. A strong armed force took the consul ou board the ateamer, which was guarded by troops up to the moment of her de- parture for Porto Cabello. Every pos sible protection was accorded the con- sul by the Wiilenstad authorities and with the exception Of a few inslgnift- cant bruises caused by stongE thrown at him, he was nof hnrmod

WHY THEY SLEEP IN CHURCH.
Hypnotism, Not Drowsiness, Declared
to Be the Cause.

"Churchgoers don't sleep in church.
They undergo an hypnotic trance.
The soothing voices and mild music
and monotonous recitative of a church
service put forth powerful hypnotic
influences, and that is why the pews
resemble railroad track in the
abundance OF their slecpers''
The speaker, n hypnotist, banged
the table vehemently.
Don't laugh" he said. Its true.
Hypnotism. not drowsiness, is what
makes you sleep in church. Through
your auditory nerve sound waves are
passed TO your brain that are as eff
fective as though a professional hyp.
notist had made them. Sound. you
know, is the newest and best hyp-
motto
AT first, In the church service, the
periodicity of the wave alterations is
short. There is little speaking,
then more music. And just when you
are getting properly lulled the clergy
man. in modulated, agreeable, sooth-
ing voice, speaks on and on and on
and you begin to nod. You are, hyp.
notically speaking, entranced
The average church service is o
scientifically correct hypnotic instru-
rent. No wonder. then, it puts many
OF us to sleep"

Dear Sir:
1t is with pleasure that 1 reply to
your request. Some years ago took
up homestead for myself and also
one for my son. The half section
which we own is situated between
Rouleau and Drinkwater, adjoining
the Moose Jaw creek. is low level
and heavy land. We put in 20 acres of
wheat in stubble, which went 90 BUSH
els to the acre, and so acres of sum-
mer fallow, which went % bushels to
the acre. All the wheat we harvested
this year is No. hard. That means
the best wheat that can be raised on
The earth. We did not sell any wheat We.
rs we intend to keep one part for
our own seed. and sell the other part
TO people who want first-class seed.
for there is no doubt If you SOW good
wheat you will harvest good wheat.
We also threshed 5000 bushels of
first-class oats out of 160 acres. so
acres has been fall blowing which
yielded 80 bushels per acre. and so
acres stubble, which went so bushels
to the acre. These oats are
the best kind that can be
raised. We have shipped three chr
loads OF them, and got SO cents per
bushel clear. All our grain was cut
in the last week of the month of
August before any frost could touch
it,
Notwithstanding the fact that we
have had a late spring, and that the
weather conditions this year were
very adverse and unfavorable, we will
make more money out of our crop
this year than last.
For myself I feel compelled to say
that Western Canada crops cannot be
checked, even by unusual conditions.
i am. dear sir,
Yours truly.
