Sack Day
For the
Farmers

Today is sack day for the farmers of
Idaho, Oregon and Washington, and
members of the Farmers Educational
and Cooperative union are in session
this afternoon receiving the bids of the
various firms relative to purchasing
their products 1t is expected that over
half a million sacks will be purchased
this year, providing the price is sat

it will be. If a deal can not be made
with any of the local sack agents, or
ders will be placed direct in Calcutta
and the middleman in the states elimi-
mated. For the past two years the
Kerr Clifford company has made the
lowest offer thereby procuring the or
der and it is understood that their
offer this year will prove a tempting
one. Their price last season was $6.32
f. O. b. Walla Walla but the figure on
them now could not be obtained. 1t
is understood, however, that it will
not be over that made by the peni-
tentiary.
This year the prison offered them
for six cents each or $3.50 in car load
lots, but the apportionment for this
county being only 179,035, was not
large enough to handle the grain.

infancy. the organization will soon be

by the young ladies to secure a national

the chapter and will work in harmony
with them

"The inference has been given the
public that the idea of the proposed
central bank in this country is to be
taken from such institutions as the
bank of England, the bank of France
and the bank Of Germany. Now, as
matter of fact, the bank of England
is not a bankers bank. 1t does
general banking business. The same
is true of the bank of France.
"Those banks stand between the
other banks and the people. When
Senator Aldrich was in England he
was told by the heads of the leading
British banks that their principal COM
petitor was the bank of England itself
In France Senator Aldrich was told
that the bank of France was not a
bank of banks, but that it did large
share of it's business directly with the
peopIe of France. When efforts were
made to get the president of the bank
of France to say officially that the
bank of France was a bankers bank,

A WORTHY ENDEAVoR.

The St Albans Messenger has en- tered upon a campaign of reform which might have been started long ago In Connecticut as well as in Yer mont for 1t is simply to stop sense less lying In view of the approach of circus day The Messenger says:
 If you go to the circus tomorrow go honestly, go because you know you want to. and be frank enough to say so- Don't lay it on to the children any more We are pretty much all little children when it comes to the circus, and the same old tinsel and trappings, the same old semi barbaric display of tawdry pageantry. the same old rumble of the heavy char lots. sTaying of the elephants. blare of the bands, and the same old feats of skill and daring and the same old antics Of the clowns amuse or inter- est us as they did years and years ago when the circus and us were smaller Perhaps we grown-ups see it in a different light now through a longer perspective, and some of the unreafties of the glittering confusion of spectacular joys do not deceive us as they did once. But it is the same old circus for all that; the same old crowds of happy humans that attend it- and 1t is worth the holiday to feel young again and enjoy some kinds of things that do not make one think too hard or too logically"
 And it's the same old preachment and the same old hope and the same old result; and when you come to think of it, the same old human na- ture and the same old fun-lovinS world The pretense is so f1imsy the truth is visible all the time

A MAYORS CONGRESS.

The 14th annual congress of the mayors of leading American cities will be held at St Paul on August 23, when comparison of experience will be lndulged in as to the management of municipal affairs and city govern ment will be considered from every rational point of view.
 Among the subjects upon which special addresses will be delivered and which will afterward be opened for general discussion are "A City Art Museum and How to Make It Valua- ble to the People," '"The Workhouse as a Reformatory ;" Government of Cities by Commission" "A City's Control of Outlying Districts" Home Rule for Cities;" "The Relation of the Municipality to Its Public Service Companies" What Cities Are Doing and in What They Excel
 This summer school for the mayors of wide-awake American cities shoul be enlightening enough to impress the country from one end to the other, for good government is what the peo- pie want in all the cities. but they cannot have it anywhere if they arc careless about the character and abil- ity of the men they put in charge of public affairs.

IN GOOD FORM.

Mir. Com stock makes a hearty appeal for a high standard for the state democract this year-Waterbury American
 There is nothing surprising in the fact that Chairman Comstock does come back at Prof. Fisher in good form, for that is his usual form, and those who know him would be sur prised If he did not. He knows that Judge Baldwin is able and Chairman Con1stock's optimistic vision has placed in his forefront a political ffuke by which he thinks the judge is to be swept into off1ce by republican votes The republicans are not go- ing to do things for revenge in No- venber, but for principles sake. They know the democracy is not a good substitute if republican policies are to be promoted If they do not care anything about Roosevelt's reform policies or Taft's valiant fight to en- force them, they will do what Chair man Comstock hopes they will do.

THE NATIONAL CONSERVATION
 CONGRESS.

The National Conservation congress (which meets the first week in Septem- Der will lend it's influence to check the slaughter of birds in America. as well to the consideration of forests. fuel and water power.
 The wild bird as a helper and a factor in life is not appreciated by the class to which he is of direct benefit although if tbe statement of the late George AngeA of the Massa- chusetts Humane society," that without the presence of birds man could not live upon earth, they are of direct benefit to us all.
 To quote William L. Finley of the National Association of Audobon so- cieties. will give an idea of the value of the bird in dollars and cents. He said:
 For years our wild birds have been "a pidIy decreasing. As a result mill lions of dollars are taken from the pockets of the farming class every year to fight insect pests, and this amount is increasing. The inroads of the IIessian fly upon the wheat crop in 1904 were estimated at $50, 100000. The cotton worm is a great menace in the south, where it destroys from s25, ,000 GOO to $50, o,O0O annually of the cotton crop. The cut worm is pest that is prevalent throughout the country: although the loss is widely distributed and not felt so heavily, it is enormous. The coddling moth in jures fruit crops to the amount oe COCO, 900 annually With the con- tinuous loss of bird life in our coun- try the loss from insect and rodent pests last year was estimated at the enormous sum of $500. .OG0 900.
 Without the birds our forests would be swept as by a blast of fire. Our trees would look like an army of tele- an estimated loss of more than one hundred million dollars to the trees of the country.
 Careful analysis of the stomachs of thousands of wood peckers, titmice. creepers kinglets, wood warblers. wrens, fiycatchers, swallows, nut matches and other birds show they dc nothing else but eat these devastating insects. This is their life work. De- stroy our wild birds and you destroy our forests.
 The Ium bermen have cut our for ests but the lumber is used to build homes. The fisherman catches our fish, till they are almost gone, but these are used for food. The capital ist- captures the water-power rights economic advantage. But the plume hunter daughters our wild birds, and uses our resources for what? Is it to make women more attra ctive and beautiful2 Ii so. he is a failure.

WHAT METERS SAVED.

There is no good reason for oppo- sition to the installation of water meters in any city, and no one is wronged by their installation if inc authorities look sharply after them and are prompted by the same just and considerate spirit which marks the conduct of private business.
 Boston affords a fine example of the efficacy of meters water savers. with the installation of water me ters in but 15 per cent Of the resi- dences of Boston. 11,25o, 900 gallons per day less water is being used than a year ago at this time, resulting in a saving of ss25 per day in the city's water bill to thes metropolitan water board"
 Tn other words they have saved to the taxpayers s297.00e a year. The taxpayers have no reason to find fault with the meter system.

Respect to the Court.

Into Judge Lummus' court in Lynn, came, as The Lynn News tells it, a man with ''weather-b beaten overalls, a shirt which was widely opened at the throat and shirt sleeves rolled up above his elbows.
