BARRIERS TO FIGHT FOR
THEIR DIET OF ONIONS
Declare Ordinance of Waterloo
Town Council Invalid

ST. LOUIS, July 2.-The BARRIERS of
Waterloo, Neb., consider that they are
being treated in a somewhat barbar-
Gus manner, and they mean to fight
for their constitutional rights. The
town council recently passed an ord1-
nance which provided that lit shall be
unlawful for any barber in this town
to eat onions between 7 o'clock a. m
and p. m. No barber while shaving
a person shall insert his thumb or
finger in the said customers mouth
shall not discuss the gossip of the
town; shall not use tobacco while
working over a chair, and shall not
insist upon a customer having his neck
shaved or his hair singed." A viola
ton of any of these provisions subjects
the barber to a fine of five dollars.
The BARRIERS, however, maintain that
such an ordinance is not constitu-
tional, that they have the right to eat
onions and smoke whenever they wish,
no matter whether or not in doing SO
they develop a breath that would break
the heels of a kicking mule, if not bring
a trolley car to standstill Just who
will be the Napoleon at this battle OF
Waterloo is not yet apparent.

NORTHERN PACIFIC TO
ENLARGE DAIRY FARMS
Believes Method Facilitates Its
Dining Car Service

ST. PAUL, July 2.-Learning by ex-
perience that through conducting its
own farming, dalrying and poultry
raising, it gets better and cheaper
service, the Northern Pacific railway
is reported about to. enlarge its supply
farms and dairies. Hitherto the COM
pany has experimental on a compar-
atively small scale, having some 11,000
hens at Kent, Washington, which
daily give the company's dining car
department fresh eggs; about 300 cows,
and a large truck farm. The results
obtained from these three branches
demonstrated the practicability of the
company's supplying its own needed
foods. The new garden farm, to be sit
mated at Paradise, Mont, will consist
of about 400 acres of fallow land, and
nearby another plot covering some 270
acres of rich land will be used in cat
tie raising and dairying.
In addition to these enlargements,
the company will build a bakery at St.
Paul, for the purpose of supplying both
terminals with fresh bread. This
home production of food by the rail-
road will probably be suggestive to
other cmpanies and eventually all the
great railroads of the country may be
supplying themselves with their own
products.

10000 TEACHERS At
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
Council Holds Advance Session in
Old South School
at Boston

BOSTON, July 2-The end of the first
day of the forty eighth annual conven-
ton of the National Educational asso-
citation found Boston sheltering most
of the 10000 teachers from all parts of
the country who will attend the ses-
sions
In advance of opening of the general
convention several meetings were held
today by the national council in the
new Old South church. At the evening
session the closing address was by
Frank Strong, chancellor of the Uni
versity of Kansas, who discussed the
educational program of the year.
"a significant happening" he said,
twas the substitution of more definite
requirements in place of the elective
system in American colleges"
He found trend for sounder scholar
ship, cleaner athletics and a lessening
of the outside interests that interfere
with scholarly life.

FLEAS FOUND IN BEANS
. IMPORTED FROM SICILY
Itching Hands of Customs Inspec-
tor Lead to Discovery

NEW YORK, July 2.-Recently a
number of employees in the custom
house have been suffering with itching
hands, some OF them so much that they
deemed 1t necessary to consult ply
sician. The bites seemed to be those
of insects. but the employees could find
none until upon careful scrutiny they
discovered that the beans which were
coming in from Sicily were infested
with Sicilian fleas.
The insects burrow into the bean and
do not come out until they are handled
by the inspectors, and then thev are SO
small that they can scarcely be seen.
1t was found that the Sicilans who buy
the beans are not disconnected over the
fact that they are filled with fleas, as
washing and boiling the beans kills the
insects. 1t has been decided, however,
that the custom house employees will
not be required to handle any more of
the beans, as they will be held up as
wormy figs and wormy olives have
been.

BONNIE WAS WISE WHEN
MASTER PROPOSED BATH
Mans Wife and Dog Provide
Work for Day

what are you going to do, dear?'
the lady asked. The man was emerg-
ing from the bath room with a towel
and cake of soap.
"I'm going to wash the dog" said the
man sturdily. The lady peered at him
keenly.
mot with my soap!" she said. "The
idea of such thing. With my gild-
rose soap!"
"Well, hang it," observed the man;
"gimme some soap. This was all there
was in the bath ROOM"
"And one of my best towels--a new
one!" cried the lady despairingly. The
man threw the towel and soap far from
him.
"Heavens and earth!" he said; ''this
Is fuss over nothing, sure. Gimme
some soap and a rag-a blanket-any
old thing that you can dry setter
dog with"
When these things had been brought
him-or to be exact, a piece of worn
yellow kitchen soap and torn skirt
the man went into the back yard, call
ing merrily:
"Here Bonnie! Here Bonnie!" But
Bonnie was WISE Some under-the-skin
intuition told her that the man de-
crawled under the house. This made
the man indignant.
Come out o. there!" he yelled. Then
he crawled under and emerged back
ward grating his teeth and rubbing his
spine, like the teeth of a saw, upon
the floor beams. In one hand he held
the elastic skin of the dogs neck and
the dog fought bitterly each step of
the way.
Once outside the man tied rope
about the neck of the dog and pro-
cured a washtub. 1t was the one the
washerwoman used on Mondays, but
was just as good as any for his pur-
poses.
He dragged Bonnie to this tub and
thrust her forefeet in it, while her hind
feet struggled frantically outside. When
he got the hind feet in the forefeet
were paving the dirt outside desper-
ately. But Bonnie was at last wet and
soaped. Then the man stepped back TO
throw a bucket of water over her; but
Bonnie shook herself briskly and In
misery and shower bath of soapy water
deluged the man.
Blame the dog!' he said, rubbing
his eyes with hands that smelled OF
yellow soap and had dog hairs on them.
Then he blindly liberated the dog and
commanded her to roll upon the grass.
But Bonnie, refreshed and joyous,
preferred the ash heap on which
stovepipe had been newly beaten.
do you mean to tell me, said the
lady later, "that you washed that dog?'
Sure did," said the man, growing
red that's clean dirt. It'll shake off
soon as it gets dry."-Galveston News.
