range and go into the laying houses
and every precaution should be taken
to insure that they come perfectly
clean into absolutely clean quarters.
Whitewash to be effective against in
sect pests should be strongly dosed
with carbolic acid, and put on hot
with a good forcible spray pump.
Painting the interior of the chicken
house with crude petroleum thinned
down, If necessary, with distillate is
equally good, perhaps better.
The hardest pests to fight, and the
greatest cause of worry, are the
mites. No insect powder affects them
but they can be routed by burning or
by dosing with the hot whitewash or
with some petroleum product. The
pullets are pretty sure to bring in a
few of them from their summer quar-
ters and it should be your business to
see that they do not get a start in
the laying houses. The best way is
to spray again with distillate few
days after the pullets are brought In,
spray the nests also, remove the old
straw from nests and burn it, busting
nests with air Stacked lime before put
ting in new straw and there will prob
ably be no more trouble from the
mites.
Lice are an easier proposition than
the mites. Given a chance for good
dust bath and hen will herself put
up a vigorous fight against the lice
but she needs some assistance from
her owner. It is a good idea to have
a can of powder with a perforated top
in every pen and catch and examine
the hens frequently. I powder them
even when I don't see any lice, going
on the principle that an ounce of pre-
vention is worth pound Of cure.
believe there are six kinds Of chicken
lice. Of these the quill lice seem to
be the most prevalent. These are a
tiny yellow louise, so small as to be
nearly invisible, which is found at the
base of the quill and which If left
alone will eat the feather clear
through. The large body louise found
in greatest numbers near the vent
does not seem to annoy or injure the
fowl so much as the head louise, which
seems to be the worst of the lot. I'm
like the mite they succumb quickly
to a good insect powder or even to a
good dust bath administered by biddy
herself. The best insect powder
have ever used is Persian Insect Pow
der which is to be had in bulk at
most drug stores.
Right here I want to caution against
the frequently given advice to bring
in road dust for use during the win
ter months in the chicken houses.
Don't do it. The road dust is full OF
powdered filth of all kinds and germs.
If you find it necessary to supply dirt
for busting to the fowls use good
clean earth from some nearby field.
Furthermore, it is not necessary to
have the earth very dry and dusty.
The fowls prefer it cool, damp almost.

BRING MESSAGE
TO C0NFEREES
Aldrich and Payne Called to
the White House.
TAFT'S ATTITUDE IS FIRM

That the President Insists Upon the
Adoption of the Corporation Tax
r. Amendment Is the Substance of
Report by the Senate and House
Leaders Following a Conference
With the Chief Executive.
Washington, July 1J.-That Presi
dent Taft Islands right where he has
stood all along and will insist upon
the adoption of the corporation tax
amendment is the substance of a re-
port made to the tariff conference by
Senator Aldrich and Representative
Payne. The leaders of the senate and
house had been at the White House,
having been summoned by the presi-
dent to explain a persistent rumo1
that the corporation tax proposition
was in danger of being dropped in
conference.
1t had been reported and not denied
that majority of the conferees were
opposed to the adoption of the meas.
ure providing for a 2 per cent tax
upon the net earnings of corporations
organized for profit. The announce
ment that the administration would
be satisfied with a tag of 1 per cent
and that the redraft of the amend
ment made by Attorney General
W1ckersham would contain this
change did not remove the objections
entertained by the conference. The
representatives of the house protest
ed against the federal governments
entering upon such new and rad
1cal method of raising revenues"
Discouraging reports about the re-
ception planned for the proposition
when it should be returned to the
conferees determined the president to
get at the bottom of the situation and
to learn, if he could, whether the adj
verse sentiment was strong enough to
encompass the defeat of the amend
ment

TEHERAN SITUATION
SHOWS IMPROVEMENT
Rifle Fire Continues, but ArtI|-
|ery Is Silent.

Teheran, July L The situation in
Teheran shows some improvement.
The artillery fire has practically
ceased and it is understood that Colo
mel Liakhoff, the military commander
at Teheran, has given his troops or
ders to cease firing. Rifle fire is still
going on between the Bakhtiaris in
the service of the shah and the ma
tionalists.
Prior to the cessation Of hostilities
the forces of the shah attacked the
northeastern gate of the city, but thoy
were repulsed by the nationalists with
heavy losses.
London, July 1G.-Advices received
at the foreign Office from Teheran con-
firm the press reports that the resist
ance of the royalists is practically at
an end and the surrender of the Per-
sian Cossacks imminent.
With the exception Of a single case
Of looting a British house and uninl-
portant damage to a few houses by
rife fire foreigners in Teheran have
not suffered either in person or prop
erty. Neither the British nor the Rus
sian diplomatic representative consid-
ers that any special measures of pro-
lection now are necessary. The Rus
sian troops have not been ordered to
advance, but will remain in readiness
at Kasvin, some eighty miles away.

and told his famous telephone story.
This story, is without doubt, one Of
the very best German dialect yarns
in existance today and Mr.. Jester
tells it in a manner that is simply
side-splitting and is unequaled by
anyone.
POSTMASTER Russell said that no
gathering.of this kind was complete
without a benediction and he had
intended calling upon Sam Cone but
as that gentlemen was not present
he would ask A. A. Rain of Minnea-
polls to respond. y 49,:
Mr.. RAIN, who is closely identified
with the business interests of the
Crookston Lumber company, stated
that he was never so embarrassed in
his life. He had never emulated ex-
Founders of the Gospel and was at
a loss for words for the benediction.
However, Mr.. Rain gave very
good talk on the development of
northern Minnesota and it's possibili-
ties along the line ofraising livestock.
He thought that industry could be
followed in this section with i'm
mense profits to the farmers of this
vicinity.
Space forbids an extended repro
duction of Mr.. Rahn's speech but it
was full of meat and many practical
suggestions.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Rahn's
talk the banquet was ended.
Today the committee awarded the
prizes and lounged on the lake and
this evening went out to the Jester
Farm, full account of which will be
given in Mondays Pioneer.

and with unblushing nerve, which
was really refreshing, asserted that
he should have been editor of the
Pioneer, for which piece Of impud-
ence we will settle with him later,
privately. He stated that the only
thing which prevented him from
taking advantage of an invitation
given in the early days to come to
the settlement of Bemidji was the
prospective seventy-mile hike from
Fosston to Bemidji, there being, at
that time, no railroads. The walk
savored of the old tramp printer and
Mr.. Scheers didn't come. The Akeley
editor told of being here often and
of being greatly pleased with the
rapid advancement of this city. He
asserted, with much emphasis, that
this part of the state would, in the
not distant future, be the leading
section of the country; all that was
needed was joint pulling together.
Mr.. Scheers said that he was
greatly pleased to say a good word
for Bemidji at any time and again
thanked the people for their generous
hospitality.
Al. H. Jester was called upon as
being the real lester" and was
asked to tell a story. Mr.. Jester
stated that his mother had always
told him when he was out to be very
careful of what he said to newspaper
men and editors; he noticed several
editors present, also some good
attorneys and he should govern him.
self accordingly.
Mr.. Jester said there were only
fifty good stories and forty-nine of
these he did not know; his mother
had great trouble with him when he
was a youth, breaking him of telling
stories.
Mr.. Jester told dialect story in
which Germans capacity for beer
was the principal subject, which
brought him continued applause and
he was compelled to answer to the
encore. Mr.. Jester responded to
the insistent demand of the crowd

LITTLE PROGRESS IS MADE
Conferees Consider Cotton Goods and
Lead Products.

Washington, July 1.-two ques,
lions which it was known would be as
stubbornly fought as any in the tariff
bill, namely, cotton goods and lead
products, were taken up by the con-
ferees, but were not disposed of dur
Ing the forenoon session. An early
adjournment was taken to permit the
house members to attend the session
of that body and to allow Senator AL
drich and Representative Payne to go
to the White House as the presidents
guests at luncheon.
Members Of the house conference
committee declined to accept the SEN
ate amendments to the cotton SEIZED
ule when that subject was taken up.
These amendments consist chiefly of
changes from ad valorem to specific
duties for the purpose of carrying out
the original intent Of the Dingley
rates, which senate conferees assert
have been pulled down by misinter-
probation of the Dingley law.

New York, July 1 1.-The Outlook

entitled "Give Me Neither Poverty

1T is to be wished that some of
those who preach and practice a gos-
pei of mere materialism and greed
and who speak as if the heaping up
Of wealth by the community or by

the most widely read and oldest of
books that true wisdom which teaches
that it is well to have neither great
poverty nor great riches.
''The movement which has become
80 strong during the past few years
to secure on behalf of the nation both
an adequate supervision of and an
effective taxation of vast fortunes, so
far as their business use is concerned,
Is a healthy movement. It aims to
replace sullen discomfort, restless
pessimism and evil preparation for
revolution by an aggressive, healthy
determination to get to the bottom of
our troubles and remedy them.
''The multi-millionaire is not per sc

the mere reward of the service, but
when his fortune is passed on to some

Wheat for July Delivery Declines to
$1.23E,.

Chicago, July 16.-Wheat for July
delivery made fresh squirt upward
on the board of trade when the price
touched $1.29, compared with $l.26%,
the closing figures of the previous
day. The new high record mark for
the season was established on initial
trades, opening quotations ranging
from $1.27h to $1.29. The more dis
tant deliveries, however, were inclined
to be weak
The strength of the July delivery,
however, was of short Duration Many
of the smaller holders began to take
profits and as result there was a
gradual decline. Before the selling
had been exhausted the price had
sunk to $1.22A. At the close of trad
ing the price for July was $1.231s.
