The Hagenbeck-Wal animal
show and circus is here today. This
attraction first achieved world
wide attention at the Chicago ex-
position in 1898, and since then
has been regarded as the greatest
animal circus in the world.
The circus is spoken Of very
highly in Spokane and Seattle and
other western cities where 1t has
shown recently. The street pa
rade was held this morning, per-
Torrance is being conducted this
Afternoon, and another will begin
at, 3 o'clock this evening. The
tents are pitched on the tideflat
grounds and are reached by taking
the Portland avenue cars.
Carl Hagenbeck is recognized as
the greatest animal man of the
day, and his wonderful collection
|of wild beasts was exhibited in
the street parade. There are 400
horses with the show, and these
add materially to its success, being
splendid specimens of horseflesh

coming when the aeroplane will be
used for exhibition purposes, but
we are going to be farsighted

BERLIN, July 7.-Collapsing
under the ordeal of listening to
witnesses testify against him in his
trial for perjury, which began to-
day, Prince Zu Won Gutenberg
was taken to his castle at Lien
berg in critical condition at noon
today. The trial was adjourned
and it is doubted whether there is
a possibility of it's being complet-

defendant.
The prince is under indictment
on two charges-perjury and in
citing perjury. The charges grew
out of the libel suit against Edi-
tor Hardin, who made an expose
of the alleged orgies of the
"Knights of the German Round
Table" Gutenberg is accused of
having sworn falsely against Har-
din and of inducing other wit
nesses to perjure themselves.
Gutenberg is >6S years old and
very feeble. He was taken to
court this morning in an automo-
bile and carried from the machine
to the court room in an invalid's
chair. He writhed while witness

recess was declared fell out of his

WASTE OF THE FARMER.
Agricultural Reform the Most Urgent
of Modern Problems.

ssVV W 8Vsbs
of Modern Problems.
George 4. Powell recently wrote d
letter on 1.-The Farmers Wastefulness''
which was printed In one of the secu-
lar dailies. He declares that 1.-THE most
urgent problem before our nation to-
day is not the tariff, but the proven
ton of the great wastefulness in agri-
cultural methods that occurs every.
where in the United States and the dis
semination Of scientific information
that shall lead to soil restoration and
improvement" The proposition is ir-
REPUTABLE.
Responsible authorities have estimat-
ed. the amount of the food bill of the
American people at a little more than
$4,000. 100000 a year. That both the
first cost and the retail price of most
of the articles on the list could be and
should be materially reduced there can
be no question.
AS MIR. Powell declares. very few Of
u farmers have even a vague notion
of the cost of the products. The max
ers of farm implements, of clothing,
hats. shoes. furniture and other arti-
cles bought by farmers. know to the
fraction of Il cent the cost of the mer-
chandise. There are and there can be
no wasteful or haphazard methods in
manufacturing or in commercial bust
ness. The inevitable penalty Of indif-
ference to cost in those lines is failure.
Except in rare instances. no other
methods are followed on the farm. In
that industry it is not the producer
upon whom the penalty falls. The con-
sumer pays for the waste. Indifference
and ignorance of the producer.
Because Of sundry legends handed
down from generation to generation
there is a general belief that a farm
er's life is of arduous and poorly re-
Quilted toll. Much Of that belief Is ut
ter nonsense: The average farmer
works harder today than does the av-
erage man in any other line Of indus
try. His reward is determined chiefly
by the intelligence which he applies to
his operations.

Mole. Friends Of the Farmer.

VIZ --.
A distinguished naturalist carefully
examined the stomachs of fifteen moles
caught in different localities. but failed
to discover therein the slightest e
tige of plants or roots; on the contrary.
they were filled with the remains of
earthworms. Not satisfied by this
fact. he shut up several moles in a
box containing sods Of earth, on which
fresh grass was growing. and a smaller
cage of grubs and earthworms. In
nine days two moles devoured $40
white worms. 1893 earthworms. % cat
erpillars and a mouse (skin and bones,.
which had been alive in the box. He
next gave them nothing but vegetables.
In tw%enty-four hours two moles died
of starvation. Another naturalist cal
culated that two moles destroyed 20.-
600 white worms or grubs in a single
year. If this is correct It is a strong
argument in favor of multiplying
rather than destroying the moles.
