ALL BETS WERE
 DECLARED OFF

| There was an eA Apectant hush at Flat as the gong sounded and the entries went to the post. In the betting ring the odds had been backed r different ways, and as they filed from the pad dock the crowd rushed eagerly to the fence just to get one look at their ia vorte before the barrier was sprung. Quaker Maid Miller hobbled iauntily out carrying black and blue and it could be seen at a glance that he was giving age and weight. He lined up just even with the sign at Billy Caseys place, and danced around with his crutch, champing at his bit and telling erybody to show the color of their money if they wanted any more of his game. The talent had backed him clear across the board and he looked fit enough, indeed-ready for the race of i his life.
 Just then Gibson Boy Carter came down the fence carrying one leg in t sling, but handling his crutch like veteran. He was wearing goggles and had a sprsader on his left hind foot. | His color was creme de violet, and he 1 began jockeying before he got to the post. He fddled cautiously for an op- ening because he had backed himself heavily and wouldn't take chance or losing the cutter.
 Just then somebody fired pistol and they were of, headed for Jack Connolly's place, the first one to arrive with his crutches being privileged to buy all the drinks he wanted if the other fellow paid for them.
 They got away nose and nose and passed Frank Stanley's place at a good two-mile-a.-hour gait. The crutches were working good, and the crowd cheered Justify as they passed the quarter post. At the half, the Gibson Boy sat down to roll cigarette, while the Quaker Maid took off the bandage and looked at his sore ankle.
 At the three-quarter flag the excite ment was intense. Both seemed to be going easily, but it WAS only seeming 1 for both were very thirsty and in real distress. They whipped up expect antly as they saw man coming out of Connolly's place, and several books were made as to which would bolt the course and head directly for the swing ing door.
 It was a great race and the finish will never be forgotten. They hit the door at the same time and got their crutches crossed. The judges were up l in the air and while the Gibson Boy stopped to argue, Quaker Maid Miller slipped in and tipped one over, thus tying his best record and pulling in alk the short money.

LIQUOR YARN
ABOUT kUH|0
Rumor Now Being Spread That
Prohibition Impaired His
Health.

Some quite alarming reports as to the
health Of Delegate kalanianaole are in
circulation among Hawaiians, though
they have been set at rest to soma ex-
tent by the announcement that he IS
coming back on the Siberia due here
early next month.
One report has it that Kuho is Sc
ri0usly i'll because he joined the prohi-
bition campaign committee and de
cided personally to quit all use of
liquor. The runners for the liquor cam
paign, it is said, are circulating the
report that Kuhio has lost his health
by stopping the use of liquor, and the
tip that this is the case is being passed
around as Il reason for voting with the
'wets' in the coming plebiscite.
The Delegate has had considerable
throat trouble, but according to the best
information obtainable is not in serious
| condition. lie has strongly insisted
upon supporting the prohibition side of
the special campaign, and Will be heard
on the subject before July IS. lie also
expects to take his part in the No
| vember campaign for his reelection.

ROME. Italy, June S.-A terrific
earthquake in southern Italy and

another fearful list of deaths and prop

upon the kilograms from Naples telling
of a destructive earthquake centering

of the wounded are excellent.
On the Island of Sardinia, crops,
vineyards and cattle were wiped out.
The terrific wind utterly destroyed hun
dreds of homes and farms.
Special military trains have taken re-
lief to Avellino, and the King and

RADICAL REFORM IN
CALENDAR PLANNED
European Business Men Want to
Revise the Divisions of
the Year.

BERLIN, May lift the majority
of Europe S business men get their
way and the nations can agree on a
system. the Christian calendar will
come to a timely end next year. At
the June meeting in London Of the
international Congress Of Chambers of
Commerce. the first subject down for
discussion is Qualification and Simpl-
fication of the Gregorian Calendar;
Establishment of a Fixed Date for
Easter' The proposal IS backed by
numberless continental chambers OF
commerce. It is hoped to find a way
of fixing Easter and all movable
church festivals 50 that they will re-
cur every year on the same date, and
at the same time to do away with all
the anomalies in the present calendar,
and establish what the reformers call
a symmetrical year
The modern proposals for fixing
Easter are at least a dozen. The one
which Will be urged most strongly at
the June Congress will be to fix
Easter Sunday absolutely on a particu-
lar date. This can only be effected
by establishing at the same time
symmetrical calendar, and that IS what
is proposed. 70 effect this, the IN
1uentiaI Netherlands chamber of com
merce has adopted the proposal OF a
welI-known authority, G. 5. de kIerk,
and ordered its delegates to support
il. This proposal is for a so-called
"normaI calendar which means a
drastic change. but would abolish at
a stroke all the present anomalies of

The government is obliged to sell a

the city will pay seventy cents a yard.
A weIl-defned opposition to the

city needed the quarry with no string
On it and that the government always
waited the best end of everything.
Aylett also opposed the lease on the

EASTERN SHORE PACKERS
Getting Ready For Next Canning Sea-
son and Offering 500 Ton.

Preparations for the packing sea-
son in the counties of the Central
Eastern Shore are being made for
the season of 1910, and the signing
of contracts by the farmers has be-
gun. These contracts bind the farmer
to grow a specific number of acres of
tomatoes to be delivered at the can
ming house of the packer with whom
he decides to do business, and not to
grow tomatoes for any other person
or persons. By this means the pack
ers are assured of the product of q
certain acreage, and protected from
market rises. Last year So a ton
was paid by the Caroline packers, but
as the canned goods have moved Slow
ly and at low prices the price to be
paid this year for tomatoes has been
reduced by many packers to 81 ton.
1t is reported that the Queen Anne s
packers will pay So a ton, and at
Cambridge some contracts are being
signed at So, which is regarded by
farmers as a most excellent price.
A few years ago SIS and Sc ton was
frequently as much as the Gamers
would pay but difficulties arose through
growers breaking contracts.

Former Senator F. L. Thompson,
Who represented North Dakota in the
upper house just two weeks and then
resigned, says in the North American,
Philadelphia, of Monday, there are
many reasons for the high price of
food products, but the principal one
is that the number of consumers ex-
eeeds the number of producers. He
adds: "While the cities are boom
ing, the country, in a sense, is Ian
gushing. Every man who leaves a
farm to become a brakeman, street
car conductor or a clerk in a sto. e
ceases to be a food producer and be-
gins to be a food consumer. Multiply
that man by !, 900, 900, or by 8, 900, 400
Of Other men. and then count up the
pounds of food they eat, and it will
be seen that the balance between
production and consumption is not
being maintained.
Furthermore, Mr.. Thompson
continued. "the cost of producing all
of our staple farm products is in
ereasing rapidly. Up to seven years
ago we could hire men for $50 a
month during the eight months of the
farming season. We must now pay
tS5 or $40 a month for inferior labor.
Indeed, good hands are so hard to get
that many farmers of my acquaintance
have rented their land and moved
into neighboring villages.
''How can young men be induced
% stay on the farms and help their
fathers?''
"Many suggestions have been
made, but the only way to attach a
young man to the soil is to educate
him. and then to give him chance
to make a practical application of
his knowledge. Fully 95 per cent.
Of the boys who graduate from our
agricultural colleges take up farming
as their permanent occupation.
"They learn that agriculture is
10th a business and a science. They
discover that the modern farmer is
the most independent man on earth
ahat he has no superintendent to
threaten him with the loss of his
place and wages; that no boss can
bully him; that customers come to
him with the money in their hands
that he has instant sale for every
thing he produces, and that the
wheat, corn, beef and cotton never
go out of fashion. So they return tt
the home farms and are competent
and enthusiastic. They work with
their heads and hands. They gel
tangible and immediate results anC
