War on Patent Medicines.

Washington, July 17.-Medicinal
experts of the department of agricul-
ture today began preparations for
making widespread warfare on
patent medicines and proprietary ar
ticles. A test case, resulting from
the seizure of a large stock of medi-
cal and toilet preparations from a
Washington department store, will
decide the success or failure of the
movement. The goods seized were

RESCUE THE ROBINS.
Battle Won for Red Breast Birds
Open light for All.

Open F.Pht for All.
New York, July 17.-After four
years of desperate fighting the first
battle for robin red breast has to-
Gay been won in Louisiana, the heart
of the section where this favorite
American cong bro is butchered by
the million for the market. That the
robin has at last been removed from
the list of game birds by legisla-
ture of the Creole state was announ-
ced today at the headquarters Of the
National Association of Audubon
Societies. AS the first fruits of per-
sistent campaign of education in the
south, the officers of the association
declare, their victory will mean the
saving of dollars worth of crops for
each tiny carcass spared as tid-bit
for the goulmand,
By a close vote the lawmakers of
Louisiana have repealed the old
game bird law in which the robin
was classed as game and have de-
creed no open season for the whole
sale destruction of the slightly spe-
cies, a million members of which
were butchered for their mouthfuls
Of meat last year alone. Only Texas
and Alabama of all the southern
states now possess similar statutes
though it is declared that sentiment
in the south is becoming generally
aroused against the slaughter OF
| these favorite birds of the country
while they winter in lower ATTITUDES
| That successful agriculture in this
| country would become impossible
and vegetation soon be destroyed If
the robin and his brother birds were
exterminated has just been asserted
by Professor Henshaw of the bio
graphical survey, and the audubon
authorities declare that his warn
ing may come too late If this victory
for the robin is not followed by a
general campaign to preserve and
even increase every such race of
birds.
Scientific examination of hundreds
of robins has shown that almost half
of their diet is composed of the in
sects that mean sure destruction to
the trees and crops OF the land
! These very insects, 1t has been pro-
en-, damage the country's crops to
the extent of 100000 annually,
while their added ravages of woods
| and stored crops, 1t Ia calculated, rob
the land of nearly billion dollars
each year. Though insect pests are
known to be increasing, their natural
destroyers, the birds, are being
gradually exterminated at an alarm
! ing rate, it Is declared.

London. July 17.-Reports receiv-

Hugh Jennings. in his day one OF the

eetic ard magnetic manager of the De-
truit team Of the American League,
which under his management captured

Allentown team of the Eastern League

by LouisvilleS new manager, Billy Bar

just come under Hanlon's control. Jen-

MONEY IN TEXAS ONIONS.
The Laredo Farmers Bid Fair To Be-
come MiIIionaires.

II will not he long at the present rate
before TEXAS has her onion milIionaires.
There is nothing speculative in onion
up to this time. Good prices are assured
and there has never been failure of the
crop sine" the industry was started in
the Rio Grande valley eight or IL years
ago. In the territory Immediately add
jacent to Laredo there were 1.500 acres
planted in onions this season. The crop
is now being harvested. 1t will bring q
ret return of Cearly $1.000.006 The yield
to the acre runs high as 1000 pounds
of onions. or little more than one car
load Some farmers have netted as much
500 an acre. A return of s4O0 or $500
an acre is common.
An onion farmer in Texas has an ideal
calling. All the labor Of seeding. trans
planting. cultivating and harvesting the
crop is performed by Mexicans. The
work does not begin until the latter part
of SeptelT Der. wher the weather is be-
ginning to get cooler. The onions grow
during the winter, and by the early part
Of April they are ready to begin harvest

Onions require large amount Of water,
and they can be grown here only by
means If irrigation. During the first
60 days they must be watered every day
and after that ono watering week must
be given them. The harvest is finished

Laredo is one of the few towns in the
