VALUE OF SHADE FOR POULTRY.
In many parts of the country
means for affording relief from eX-
cesslVe heat must be improvised as
oAeE are not naturally available.
Where the poultry keeper lives upon

hed4erows his work is vcry greatly

true of ourselves is equally true of

same feeling of discomfort that We

Consequently the effect is seen in re-

that he had beaten his firm out of
$40 four years ago in Kansas. A
short time ago the man got religion
and says he is now paying back the
money. Following is the letter re-

BAR NO|SE[ESS
GUNS FROM STATE
LEGISLATOR SAYS THAT NEW
INVENTION is A MENACE TO
SAFETY OF CITIZENS.

Olympia, Feb 18.--Noiseless guns
are to be prohibited in the state of
Washington. One member of the
legislature states that unless the code
commission will put in it's bill
provision forbidding the use of the
new invention that he will introduce
a bill making it a misdemeanQr to
own one of the new noise preventers
on firearms.
He argues that the invention if put
in general use may result in whole
sale murders and attacks of all kinds.
Armed with gun equipped with the
misunderstanding device invented by
Maxim, a man could stand in an al
ley and shoot down dozen persons
without anyone in the vicinity
knowing from whence the bullets
came He also claims that it is not
fair to permit hunters to use 'silent
guns for the reason that it will re-
suit in the wholesale slaughter of
game animals and birds and that it
will likewise increase the danger of
hunting, as others in the field or in
the woods would be unable to tell
whether they were alone or not.

RUSSIA BORROWS A VAST SUM
AND JAPS REGARD IT AS A
PREPARATION FOR WAR =
JAPS WILL MAKE A BIG SHOW.
by Associated Press

TOXIC, Feb. 18.-The floating of
the big Russian loan of $250,000, 900
is to be dramatically answered by
bankrupt Japan with the mobiliza-
ton for maneuvers early in Novem-
Der of the largest military force ever
assembled by the empire in time of
peace.
The immense loan recently nego-
tiated by Russia is accepted by Off
cial Japan as a menacing evidence
that Russia is already preparing to
rehabilitate her military and with
Manchuria as it's ultimate striking
point.
The modifying of her entire mil
itary strength is Japan's defiant re-
| ply. Although not attempting to con-
ceal her financial distress, the island
empire will thus announce to the
world that there is still fight left
in the war-weakened nation.

operations will be held, is alone send
! ing five divisions of infantry, 81,
brigajes of cavalry, one battalion o.
heavy artillery and two companies o.
cavalry equipped with the new light
| field guns especially designed to re
| pei Cossack attacks.

vers has aroused the patriotic wal
spirit of all classes, which has lair
dormant since the Russian war ant

ment in assuming a defiant attitude
toward Russia has met with univer
sal approval.

THE FAOER[AND
VH|RL|NG TO RUIN
CHANCELLOR Won BUELOW'S
APPEAL FOR THRIFT DE-
TRAVAGANCE UNEQUALED.
(By Associated Press.)


BERLIN, Feb. 18.-In complete
disregard of Chancellor Won Buelow's
repeated appeals to Germany to re-
turn to its old habits of thrift and
economy in the face of the present
national financial embarrassment,
Berlin has greeted the kaiser's re-
appearance in society with perhaps
the most remarkable display of ex-
travagance Europe has ever seen.
1t is not so much the prices paid
for everything, though they are high,
as the fact that practically everyone
is striving for pace beyond his
powers that particularly, he says,
alarms the chancellor.
To the comparatively small circle
of the richest of American million
aires the cost of living in Berlin
might not seem excessive, critics OF
the modern tendency in Germany adj
init, but they confess themselves
frightened when they consider that
| the overwhelming majority of Ger
mans in only moderate circumstances
are mourning expenses which only
millionaires can bear for long.
Five hundred dollars is the least
sum for which fashionable gown
can be bought. Two thousand is
somewhere near the average. Furs

500 to $500 apiece, and slippers at

MEERSCHAUM u
HAS HISTORY
w. n. BARNARD OWNS PIPE
WHICH is 125 YEARS OF AGE
AND WAS IN ONE FAMILY FOR
EIGHTY YEARS.

w. HI. Barnard, of the Daily World
job department, has quite a relic in
the way of pipe. 1t is a genuine
meerschaum, of the old German style
with long stem and bowl and is about
one il ch thick. This is the charac-
ter of a pipe so eagerly sought after
by the modern pipe collectors. 1t is
about 125 years old and is valued in
the three figures.
1t was originally brought from Ger
many in the year 1864, and had been
smoked and in the possession of one
family for eighty years The Ger
man who imported the pipe from the
old country presented it to DR.. Wix-
ON, of Austin, Nevada, a prominent
physician and father of Emma Ne
vada, one of the worlds greatest
prima donnas. In 1869 the pipe
was stolen from Dr. Wixom. The
thief was captured, convicted, and
served a term in the penitentiary
The pipe itself was not recovered for
some time after the capture of the
thief. 1t was later presented by the
owner to J. S. Barnard, now deceased,
of Wenatchee Lake, who had the pipe
in his possession for SO years. On
the death of ]. S. Barnard, the pipe
became the property of his son, w.
n. Barnard. and it is safe to say that
he values it highly on account of the
for so many years and on account of
its history.
Undoubtedly this is the oldest pipe
in the west.

is often almost impossible for navi-

The Berlin government considers
this condition intolerable If the Lark
incident were the only one it would
not be so bad. The same thing has

many wants to make it clear that 1t
must not happen again.
The fatherland is evidently par
ticularly annoyed because it undoubt-

England to annex Liberia and that
England is disposed to do it. The
fact that a British officer commands
the Lark aggravated the situation.

The citizens of Morrison are up in
arms against the passage of a game
bill by Davis in the senate, which
practically gives no one the right to
hunt the wild fowl at Moses Lake,
except the Spokane Gun club, who
have in the past been hogging the
shooting at the lake. The bill of Da-
Wis has aroused much opposition
among all who have hunted at this
famous hunting ground, the Morrison
settlers being not alone to make a
kick. Last week the citizens of Nor
rison, which is situated near the
south end of the lake got out petit
ton and forwarded it to Senator r.
A. Hutchinson, with a resolution of
thanks for his efforts in opposing the
passing of the Davis bill. The reso-
luton follows:
1.-THE settlers of the Moses Lake
country in mass meeting assembled
declare that, Whereas, Senate Bill No
115, purporting to be for the preser-
Walton of game at Moses Lake, has
been introduced in the senate; and
whereas, We believe that the bill is
contrary to Justice; and, whereas
we believe the bill misrepresents the
situation, therefore we request your
earnest efforts to prevent tie .assage
of such a BILL
The petition was signed by over so
settlers, and other like petitions are
in circulation to be forwarded later
The settlers are of the opinion that
the state should buy out the gun
clubs and use the grounds held by
them for breeding, as the territory
included is the only good nesting
place on the lake, owing to the rank
growth of grass there.

Mr.. and Mrs NJ. Daily returned last
night from several months trip in
California. They report a very pleas

Rodondo Beach. On the return trip
they were delayed in California for
10 hours on account of washouts.
This has been an unusually wet win
ter and a great deal of rain has
fallen. Mr.. Daily stated this morn
ing that he could not understand why
there was such a craze about Cali
folnia He stated that he would not
care to make that state his home
though it is not a bad place to spend
few months. AS permanent
home Mr.. DAILY says that he would
much raher live here.
Mr.. DAILY had not seen the rest OF
the Wenatchee colony in CaliforE;a
recently and did not know when they
were coming home.
