Weeds cause an actual less Of many
millions of dollars every year to farm,
err. The average farmer hardly rea-
Macs the loss caused by weeds. ThL
eradication Of weeds II q mvoh dis
sussed question at present. but little
y said about preventing weeds from
Gstttag onto the farm. There are
many natural agencies, such as wind,
watsr animals, &C.. which cause the
aDread oi weeds. Prevention in such
casss Is almost impossible There is
still another manner in which weeds
are brought on the farm; that is, by
sowing seed which has mixed with it
many seeds. A large percentage of
The weeds are put on the farm by the
fsfnsr himself, who actually plants
wsed seeds when he plants his other
sod. In most cases a farmer sows
foul seed Lecause hs is ignorant Of
the fact and is not faniliss with these
seeds. Every farmer should be just a
familiar with the bad weed seeds as
he is with seeds 0l wheat, clover, tim
othy, etc.
The Minnesota Agricultural Expert

r. There was every reason why the two
contiguous principalit1es should be
Joined under one head. Negotiations
10 that effect were entered upon be-
tween Prince Carl on the one side and
the mobiles Of Essengen on the other.
1t was proposed that Prince Oluf
should marry the Princess Clothilde,
the two to be prince and princess Of
the united principalit1es. After many
demands and concessions compact
was made, and nothing remained but
the consent Of the two parties most
especially concerned-Prince Oluf and
Princess Clothilde. Prince Oluf visited
the princess, and, as luck would have
It, she fell desperately in love with
him. 7 il, fstF,.l, tG}
One Of the points claimed by the
princess subjects was that she should
be sovereign equally with the prince,
her husband, for at the time Of the
nuptials Prince Carl was to abdicate
tn favor Of his son. There was 80
much feeling among the people Of H.

one Of {Clothild9s ministers suggested
that sAeA wear ths iron crown Of the

pointed marriage. Prince Carl, his son.
Prince Oluf; the Atrurians and many
Essengens were bitterly disappointed
that the prospective union Of the two
countries had thus fallen through.
Prince Oluf, however, who had taken
as much liking to Princess Minna as
she had taken dislike to him-indeed,
it was said that had she been sover-
eign she! would have been his choice
proposed that all that had been ar
ranged should be carried out, Minna to
become his wife instead Of Clothilde.
The proposition was acceded to by
the union party Of Essengen, but all
expected that Minna even for reasons
Of state would not marry man she so
cordially disliked. However, the coun-
Gil went to her in body. represented
to her the Importance Of the union Of
the two countries and proposed that
she become the wife Of the man who
was to have married her sister.
She hatly refused.
Then commenced q struggle on tho
part of the unionists Of Essengen,
Prince Carl and especially Prince Oluf
to induce her to change her mind.
Prince Oluf. who had been in love
with her instead of her sister from the
start, was wild with disappointment.
He wooed her with delicacy, but did
not succeed in changing her antipathy
for him. But what he could not bring
about was in part effected by the pfin-
csss' ministers. Finally on their rep

FEELING
Il IS TENSE IN AUSTRALIA
OrientaIs Are Forbidden Member
ship to All Clubs

WASHINGTON, July 12.-Japanese
mail to the state department quotes a
returning traveller from Australia as
saying that the anti-Japanese feellng
in Australia has reached an extreme
point. According to the published in
terview forwarded here, japanese are
forbidden entrance to any of the Aus
tralian clubs and forbidden to attend
public meetings. German influence, 1t
is said, is believed to be responsible
for this anti-Japanese feeling. Jap
anese papers criticise the talk of Ger
man influence as an anti-German cam
paign analogous to the anti-Japanese
talk. The secret of the Australian sit
uation. it is claimed. is that While
nominally admission is granted to mer-
chants, students and travellers, "mer-
chants" is interpreted to mean heads
of a firm only, all others being classed
as laborers.
Japanese papers point out that this
treatment experienced by Japanese
subjects in Australia, while worse than
that experienced in the United States,
attracts less attention because of the
smaller number of persons affected.

CHICAGO, July 12.-Methods border

tour, when Mrs. katherine Waugh Nc
Culloch justice of the peace in Evan
ston, led a spirited assault on the So

into a story of how well women's
rights have worked in other states and
how badly Illinois needs the help of

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j.. July 12.-
Glenn II. Curtiss t lay tossed oranges
and mimic bombs within three feet of
the decks of the yacht John E. Meh-
rer IL, used in place of a battleship
during the sham battle arranged to
demonstrate the utility of the aeroplane
in coast defense.
The mock bombs were dropped from
a height of about 300 feet and Curtiss
purposely failed to strike the deck of
the yacht for fear of injuring the Of
ficials and passengers on board her
decks.
Visiting experts agreed that the ex-
periments showed that a fleet of aer-
oplanes with bombs could wreck any
war ship before guns could be trained
on them.
Curtiss was flying about forty-flve
miles an hour when he dropped the
bombs, and officials on the deck of
the yacht declared that he was within
accurate distance for rifle fire less than
half a minute

INJURED WHILE WORKING

Comba Sent Back to Italy Be-

NEW YORK, July 12.--Alessandro
Comba, three years ago a capable
worker, but now a helpless cripple,
is now on his way back to Naples, de-
ported despite the fact that he lost
both legs while foreman of a Panama
canal gang at Gatun helping Uncle
Sam dig the big ditch. Comba, who
came to this country about three years
ago, went to the canal zone as a la
borer. He proved so capable that
within a year he was made foreman
and he was in line for promotion when
he fell under a train.
After his recovery he was sent to
this city and taken to Ellis island.
where he was detained in the hospital
eight months. He was ordered de-
ported, but through the Italian Immi-
grafton society he got stay and an
effort was made to keep him from de-
portation. The effort failed. A plan
was also under way to ask congress
TO give him $500 because of the cir
cumstances in which he received his
injuries, but the appropriation was not
allowed.

LAST Weeks WEATHER
BENEFITED FARMER
Good Fall of Rain Is Still Much
Needed in Western Part
of Country

WASHINGTON, July 12.-Weather
generally favorable for harvesting and
vegetable growth prevailed last week
in the great corn and winter wheat
growing states, according to the week
ly bulletin issued today by the weather
bureau.
The bulletin says in part I'm the
northern portion of the corn belt there
is still a general lack of rainfall and
vegetation is suffering.
I'm the spring wheat belt there were
light showers over most districts and
the change to somewhat cooler and
partly cloudy weather gave some re-
lief from the adverse conditions that
have prevailed for so long in those
states. Light showers during the week
afforded temporary relief only. how
ever, and heavy, soaking rains are still
badly needed.
Dry weather continues over the
western portion of the great plains re-
gion, and as result the great ranges
are dry and vegetation scant.
From the Rocky mountains west
ward the weather has continued very
dry and much injury has resulted to
dry farming interests. In the irrigated
districts the water supply has held out
better than expected, but the streams
are now falling rapidly and rain is
needed to augment the flow."

Efforts to Solve Mystery

NEW YORK, July 12.-Henry Dex-

American News company, who died at
his home here last night, in his ninety
eighth year, passed the greater portion
of the last seven years of his life in
unavailing search for the murderer or
his son, Orrander P. Dexter. A reward
of $4,000 offered by Mr.. Dexter for the
apprehension of the murderer is said
to be continued in a codicil to the
nonogenarians will
Orrander P. Dexter was shot In the
back in September, 1908, While driving
along road on his place in the Adj
rondack mountains. The bullet that
killed him passed entirely through his
body and killed the horse he was driV-
ing. It was believed that Dexter was
murdered by some one who had
grudge against him because he had
bought about 10000 acres of land in the
best game section of the Adirondacks.
Henry Dexter always believed his
sons murderer has been shielded by
prominent persons. He is said to have
expended at least $4,000 in his effort to
clear up the mystery In memory of
his son he erected the new building
of the New York Historical society in

PARIS, July 12.-The cabinet has
decided to submit bill for the adop-

France. During the old days the
French steadily refused to accept
standard time, maintaining the solar
time of Paris which is nine minutes
slower The confusion resulting, es-
pecially in telephone communications
with England, as well as the change
in Franco English relations, is respon-
sible for the decision.
