For three days Dorothy heard moth
ing from Or. These were sad days
for the little girl. although her friends
were all quite happy and contented.
The Scarecrow told them there were
wonderful thoughts in his head: but
he would not say what they were be-
cause he knew no one could under
stand them but himself. When the Tin
Woodman walked about he felt his
heart rattling around in his breast:
and he told Dorothy he had discovered
1t to be a kinder and more tender
heart than the one he had owned
when he was made of flesh. The Lion

So Dorothy took . needle and
thread, and as fast as Or cut the strips
Of silk into proper shape the girl
sewed them neatly together. First
there was q strip Of light green silk.
then strip Of dark green and then q
strip Of emerald green; for Or had a
fancy to make the balloon in different
shades Of the color about them. 1t
took three days to sew all the strips
together, but when it was finished
they had big bag Of green silk more
than 20 feet long.
Then Or painted 1t on the inside

with many ropes to the bottom of the
balloon.
When it was all ready. Or sent word
to his people that he was going to
make visit to great brother Wizard
who lived in the clouds. The news
spread rapidly throughout the city and
every one came to see the wonderful
sight.
Or ordered the balloon carried out
In front Of the palace, and the people
gazed upon 1t with much curiosity.
The Tin Woodman had chopped a big
Of 1t, and Or held the bottom of the
balloon over the fire SO that the hot
air that arose from 1t would be caught
In the silken bag. Gradually the bal
loon swelled out and rose into the air.
until finally the basket just touched
the ground.
Then Or got into the basket and
said 20 all the people in a loud voice:
Il am now going away to make q
visit. While am gone the Scare

Denver.-Colorado will at last show
eastern farmers by figures and tables
taken from the United States Year
Book. that In actual profit and yield

states
A booklet entitled "IrrigatiOn in
Colorado" which was compiled and
published by the Colorado State Com
mercial Association Of Denver. and
written by Prof. w. H. Olin. contains
facts. figures and explanations regard
ing irrigation which make it invalua-
BILE to ColoradOans as well as those
in eastern states who contemplate
making their homes In the West.
The booklet Is one of series which
the Commercial Association will pub
lish. all written by authorities on their
subject. such as DRY Farming in Col
orado.' Fruit In Colorado" Home
steading in Colorado" Manufacturing
in Colorado" THE Mining Industry in
Colorado" Touring in Colorado" etc.
Irrigation was the subject taken up
first on account of its importance and
because of the fact that nine-tenths of
the eastern farmers know little CT
nothing about it. Professor Olin il
thoroughly informed on the subject.
and gives the substance of his knowl-
edge in the booklet.
Tables are compiled from govern
ment reports covering q period Of ten
years, and give the average yield per
acre Of wheat, oats. barley. potatoes
and hay for ten of the "grain-belt"
states, and the figures show that Colo
RADIO leads them all in average income
and yield per acre. The states COM
pared with Colorado are: Minnesota,
Wisconsin. Indiana. Illinois. Iowa. Mis-
souri,, Kansas. Nebraska and Oklaho-
ma. The tables will surprise many
Coloradans. for Colorado leads in
yields and values by from so to 100
per cent.
A simple. untechnical explanation of
water rights, how to irrigate. the vari-
GUS terms. figures and systems used
by the Colorado irrigator. are ex-
planned by the pamphlet.

charge by the association.
Everything that comes under the
head of irrigation was taken up and
touched upon in the booklet; which
covers Colorado generally. and does
not boost any one section to the det-
riment of another.
In the article on irrigating fruit. the
following figures on apples show that
Colorado not only is ahead Of other
states in grains, but in fruit as we'll.
These figures are given by Editor
Sheppard of Better Fruit" which is
published in Oregon.

WooLEN SCHEDULE,
 SEVERAL VOTES IN SENATE
Senator Deliver Declares that Rag
 Trust" Exists.

Washington, June 9.-The woolen schedule was still under considera- tion in the senate at 5.30 o'clock when the usual recess for dinner was taken. Several votes were obtained during. the day and thus number of paragraphs were passed upon. Among these was the paragraph on top waste, etc, on which the committee amendment in- creased the house rate on wool top waste and other wastes from twenty cents per pound to thirty cents per pound, which, on a division of the sen- ate, was adopted by vote of forty to thirty.
 change and the committee scored it's usual majority on this as on all other votes of the day.
 Senators Gamble and Crawford de- serted the "progressives, but with these exceptions the ranks of that contingent remain unbroken. A vote was also obtained upon the commit tee amendment increasing the duty on shoddy from 20 cents per pound to 25, and that on tops from IS to 20 cents. The committee prevailed in both cases.
 Speeches were made during the day by Senators Warren and LaFollette, the former advocating, as yesterday, a generally increased duty, while the latter contended, as on previous oc- casions, for a general reduction. The two senators engaged in sharp con- troversy during which Mir. LaFollette said that those in the senate who be- lieved with him had increased from nothing to a dozen. He said he ex- pected further accretions from the east.
 Probably the &post interesting deveI- opment of the day was a declaration by Senator Deliver that a 'rag trust exists. The Iowa senator declared such to be the fact, but he was con- tradicted by Mr Warren. who declared that if such a trust should exist he would know about it, and he added that he had no knowledge of it.

VENEZUELA NOT BANKRUPT.
General Castro's Recent Statement Re-
 futed by President Gomez.

Caracas, Monday, May 31.-In strik- ing refutation of General Castro's recent statement that Venezuela would be bankrupt in six months, is the fol- lowing paragraph from President Co., mez's message to congress, which shows that, notwithstanding the sup pression by the new government of numberless oppressive taxes, the de- felt in the Bank of Venezuela left by Castro has been transformed into respectable credit.
 The president says:
 "On November "A last, the day on which I assumed the presidency, the government owed to the Bank of Ve- nezuela 745,S62.04 boliyars GA bolivar is worth 20 cents.) After having met every administrative and other ex- penses the government how has a bal ance in it's favor in the Bank of Ve- nezuela of bolivars ], 1,483,990.63, and in the national treasury of bolivars IA, 337.00."
 The reading of the presidential mes- sage to congress on Saturday after noon was not the perfunctory per formance of other years. President Gomez's recent decree removing com pletely all the oppressive export taxes on coffee, cocoa, and hides, which fell so heavily On the long suffering agri- culturist, and which produced to the government yearly income of almost a million dollars, has removed any doubt as to the progressiveness of the new government and consequently great crowds surged into the capitol building to express approval of the reforms.

An Organization Whose Aim is Plotting, Ex-
 tOrtion and Assassination
HAS BRANCHES IN SEVERAL CITIES
Discoveries by Inspectors from Cincinnati Postofce Work Along the Lines of the Old Mafia but with Much Better System-Regular Meetings Held and Spells Cistributed-Crps and Passwords.

Cincinnati. June s.-Revelations of extortion, plotting and murder by the Black Hand as uncovered by the post office inspectors from the Cincinnati office show conclusively that the gang in Columbus, Marion, Dennison and Beliefontaine and other Ohio towns was organized along the same lines as the old M1ia. but with a better system for coneealing their movements.
 The Ohio Black Hand.
 It Is now known that the Ohio Black Hand or the Society of the Banana. as it's members style themselves. had a branch in Pittsburg and one in Chicago and line that extended tp South Da- kota. Regular meetings were held and the money obtained by extortion was distributed 70 various divisions in this country and sent to relatives in Italy for safe keeping.
 What Inspectors Found.
 We have found what I believe to be certain proof that the Black Hard out rages at least in the middle west. in- cluding Pittsburg. Cincinnati. Cleve- land. Chicago. Columbus and other western citiesA were committed by a well organized society with grips and passwords, and that they are not sim- ply sporadic cases of individual extor- tion7' said General Postoffice Inspector Holmes to an Associated Press repre- sentative tonight.
 Thousands of Dollars Sent to Italy.
 We have no evidence SO far that the American Black Hand i'm the west is connected with the foreign organization that killed Lieutenant Petrosino in Italy. The money, thousands of dollars sent by the Black Hand members to Italy. was simply their division of their spells made at regular meetings and sent abroad to their innocent relatives for safe keeping"
