COUNTRY PRODUCE
WILL REMAIN HIGH

There should be a firm market in all
classes of country produce during the
early part Of the week Conditions,
which produced the higher prices during
the latter part of last week, have chang
ed but slightly, so that there is every
prospect Of the old schedule OF quota
tons being maintained.
Butter, eggs and cheese are almost
certain Of remaining at former prices,
with every prospect Of advancing still
higher. In the case OF the two former.
decreasing receipts are responsible for
the firm prices. In the case Of cheese,
increased cost OF milk is back Of the
advancing tendency.

Migratory Movement Begins With
 Closing of Schools.

Chicago, June 26.-(Special) 1.-The clos ing of the public schools, which have turned loose this month no less than 100000 restless boys and girls through out the United States, has again marked the real beginning of the vacation season in Chicago and the middle west Extra trains on the AS railroads having termi- nals in Chicago are leaving crowded ev- cry day with families seeking a change of scene and rest or recreation.
 The Canadian summer resorts are drawing larger numbers this ycar than ever before, especially the lakes of north ern Ontario and the streams and woods of the Algonquin National park and the governments other great reserve about Lake Temagami. Fishing and shooting in the primeval wilderness, together with the perennial lure of the cool northland, are principally responsible for the turn of the tide in this direction.
 Chicago is the starting point or place of transfer for much of this summer em- igration. From here the stream of pleas ure seekers follow many routes by rail and boat to the international boundary md the tracks of the Canadian Northern and Grand Trunk railways. Reports from

September 1S before winch time both Mars and Venus will have become con- spicrous in the evening sky Disap- pearances of Jupiter's first moon may be observed on July T. s h. m. D. m., and July 50. h. 33 h. (eastern time), the moon then passing between us and the planet. Moons may be observed to emerge from eclipse on July 8, h. 96 m. 42 S.. and July 23, h. SS m. 19 s.
 On July the nearly full moon may be seen to pass over the star at z, Figure l, the star disappearing at ' h. 20 m. D. ma, as viewed from Washington, and reappearng at h. m. These times vary greatly, however for observers at different places. The earth is so near the moon that observers In a higher lati- tude than 45 degrees will look over the north edge of the moon and not to see the star hidden at all, the moon appearing to pass below the star; those more than II degrees below our equator will simi- larly observe the moon pass above the star. It Is for this reason that the shape of the earth can be determined with great accuracy by simply observing the apparent path of the moon over the sky
 On July 2S there will occur an unusu- ally brilliant shower of shooting stars. These will dart outward in all directions from a point a little southeast of the star at W, Figure 1, and move slowly over the sky. They can be best observed after midnight.

Daysey Mayne Honors Mother.

From the AtehiSon Globe.
 Saturday was Mothers day, and there are few who were so busy they didn't ovserve it. But Daysey Mayme Apple ton was not in that number, no, not she. Daysey Mayme rose early, and, putting on her best clothes. ate breakfast that mother had prepared and then, leaving the dishes for mother to do walked to the greenhouse, where she invested in a dozen snow-white carnations. Some may wear only one,' said Daysey Mayme, that being the badge selected for Mothers day but I think mothers wear dozen." Daysey Mayme paraded the streets till noon, when she went home, ate a dinner mother had prepared, grumbling because it didn't suit her, and then, after telling mother how to iron her shirt waists went off to take nap, leav- ing the dishes Daysey Mayme felt guilty upon awakening. She had slept two full hours of day that should have been spent in honoring mothers She got up hurriedly and dressed and left the house again, wearing her dozen snow-white carnations, and to every friend on whom she called that afternoon she told how sweet, how uplifting and how noble 1t was to set aside Mothers day, and how she intended to observe 1t as long as she lived. DayseN Mayme was invited out to supper. and when she got home at 10 that night mother was still ironing shirt waists. Dear mother Is slow,"- said Daysey Mayme to herself in her mirror, ''but she is a good woman, and I am glad I have honored her all day. " Then she went to bed satisfied that one good days work was done.

Manitoba state that the American colo nies of vacationists are springing up this year in the region about Rainy river and the Lake of the Woods. The fever for hunting is also said to be greater than usual, due in part, it Is alleged to the wide currency given the reports of ex- President Roosevelt's exploits in East Africa.
 The game laws of Canada have sue- ceeded in preserving the moose and elk in their original haunts in such numbers that good shooting is assured for years to come. The same is true regarding fish. Veteran rodsmen who have returned from Canada bring back amazing stories of heroic muskalonge and gamy trout and bass, with whic hto regale the great army of stay-at-homes, without whom vaca- tions could not exist.

 The best way to learn the summer cancellations Is to first follow along the Milky Way, tracing out the Archer, the Eagle, the Arrow, etc., In order, and afterward adding the groups of the scor- pion, the Serpent.

The whole face of the heavens is now covered with the beautiful cancellations of summer. The magnificent Milky Way, with the succession of bright and inter- esting groups Of stars which seem to lie upon 1t, extends entirely from the north point of tho horizon to the south, while the great Driver of Hercules, with the delicate Northern Crown and the bril- liant Vega nearby. are almost in the zenith. Perhaps most striking and beau tiful of all Is the Scorpion, whose out stretched claws extend to the stars at c and D, Figure 1, and whose sting lies in the Milky Way at M. It's most bril- liant fiery red star, at D, is immersed in a vast nebula, the existence of which is only revealed by photography. The star was formerly much fainter than now, being fainter than the nearby start at c; it is said to have been the first star observed through the telescope in the daytime.
 The Summer Stars.
 No one who surveys this summer sky covered with its myriad of suns, can fail to be impressed with its wonderful and delicate beauty. To study it with the most satisfaction the observer should be far away from all artificial light, and he should select an evening when the moon Is absent for the great brilliance of our satellite renders all the more deli cate objects. and even the Milky Way itself, hoplessly invisible.

Intended to Make If Easier For You and For Us on Sundays.

Sunday the general rest day. the hardest day of the week for this ice of yours.
 Our wagons have to start later because patrons sleep laer and do not like to disturb them. Thus regular deliveries and Sunday extras crowded into few hot hours.
 Of course we continually receiving suggestions that put extra wagons Sundays, but those who give this wentended advice have not calculated the great pense to which would be subjected if did The cost of putting ice wagon ln commission ranges from $70O to $900 to say nothing of the daily upkeep This double service would require at least dozen wagons and that would mean an extra outlay of $1OOOO more for the operation of the the twenty Sundays of the regular ice season.
 Won't Work We have tried it out and found caused general dissatisfaction considerable percentage of peo pie failed to get their ice because the regular and extra drivers became confused to deliveries-t of patrons falling between two stools Besides, try to be careful to the send into homes and is not possible to hold good with only days work in the week.
 If our patrons will cooperate with us, this Sunday dev be made easier for them and easier on us Natural ly, you don't want the ice Ion your mind while you church. If the wagon hasn't called before you leave home permit to suggest that you caution the servants to be the lookout for it, get nelghbor who IS going to stay home to attend to the taking of your ice.

The cruise Of the yachts to IA.

race. will start somewhere about
midnight on June 10, or possibly on
the morning of Kamehameha Day.
The yachts will be away for three
days, and the men vino make the

hold of them. Everyone who has
at any time visited Maui and tasted
OF the hospitality of the Kahului,

never forget the way in which all
the sports We'd with one another to
make the visitors feel at home.
II is not probable that many peo-
pie outside of the crews will make
the trip, but anyone who cares to go
can easily make arrangements, and
by paying a few dollars can have
the time of his life.
The boats that are likely to go
are the Luka, Concord, Hawaii and
Ka Moi. The principal event of the
cruise will be a dinner and reception
at Kahului, and the function will
certainly be remembered by all pres

noon, and a large crowd of visitors
turned out to watch the sport. Aft

squads. and unfortunately when the
first squad had completed their
round the traps got out of order and
the second bunch could not shoot
II was fine day for shooting, all
though the wind at times was tri-
fe high. Some good work was done
by some of the gunners. and d. l..
Austin's twenty birds straight was a
very fine performance. This shooter
is in excellent form Just now, and
all the time.
The first squad, comprised of z.
Kopke, D. l.. Austin and II. NJ. Whit
ney, shot off first, and the first
named got 81 out of so; Austin ac-
counted for 20 straight. and Whit
ney scored II out of 81. Great in
terest was taken in the shoot, and
much regret was expressed when It
was found that the second squad
would be unable to shoot. These
weekly events are booming now and
It Is well worth trip down to the
traps to watch the experts at work.
