commercial organizations and agricul-
tural bodies, have inaugurated a con-
certed campaign to prevent the i'm
pending loss.
twenty seven million bushels of
corn, fround up, will provide Is pounds
of meal for every man, woman and
child in this country, counting the pop

OF meal will make 20 loaves of bread,

The past winter has been so wet and
cold that farmers have been unable to
gather their corn, but have left the
ears on the stalk in the fields. The
seed, which will be planted by the
farmers this spring will be taken
from this corn.
Samples Secured.

HUNDRED SPECIMENS ON
TRIP.
Seventeen Lions Have Fallen Before
Guns Of the Nimrods-worid's Record
Has Been Broken BY tho Ameri-
can Hunters.

Gondokorc, Sudan, March 4.-Coi.
Roosevelt and the others of his imme-
diate party have sailed on the steamer
Dial for khartum, where they expected
to arrive on March 18th. With their
departure the African exped ton, un-
der the auspices Of the Smithsonian
Institution, of Washington, and led
by the former President of the United
States. was for all practical purposes
brought to a close.
Col. Roosevelt considers that the
killing Of the giant Glands in his re-
cent excursion along the upper reaches
OF the Nile was fitting ending or a
marvelously successful trip The re-
suits generally from the standpoint of
the hunter have exceeded all expecta-
tions.
Col. Roosevelt and his son, Kermit,
; have killed some SOC specimens of
large mammals. The bag includes the
following:
Seventeen lions, II elephants, 10
buffaloes IL black dhinocceroses, 9
white dhinoccerroses, hippopotami, 9
giraffes, leopards, chetahs, giant
Glands, sables, sitatunga and 2
bongos.
All these were killed in the interest
of science, and the spec mems will be
disposed of accordingly, the greater
number going to the Smithsonian In
, stition. MIR. Roosevelt will retain not
more than six trophies for himself
Highly Pr zed Game.
| From the point of Importance, the
most highly priced game may be rated
as follows: 4
| First the giant Glands, the first COM
| plete specimens cf which family are
now being taken from the country:
| second the white rhinoceros; third
the bongos. the first to be stalked and
k lied by a white man; fourth, the
sitatunga, a species of antelope.
| The naturalists secured a remark
able collection comprising many thou
! sands of birds and other mammals.
The results in this line have been
most gratifying, and science will be
chr CHSU Dy several new Species anu
an enormous series of the smaller
mammals of Africa.
| The game taken and the collections
made constitute worlds record for
a similar period of hunting and scien-
tific research in Africa, and the Am
erican museums will receive the
greatest collection of African fauna in
existence. All agree that too much
praise cannot be accorded r. J. Gun
ninghame, the Englishman whose
management of the expedition was as
nearly perfect as could be conceiv-
ed.
Col. Roosevelt will now devote his
time to writing, including the pre-
paration of the addresses which he is
to deliver in Europe. He will do nc
more hunting, unless during the triI
down the Nile chance throws in his
way an opportunity to secure some
rare specimens.

Washington, March At was
known to White House visitors today
that the president has written to Ar
thur |. Vorys, of Ohio, campaign mana
ger for Mr.. Taft in that state, and a
power among republicans, urging the

friends, his views on the income tax.
The president apparently feels that
Ohio, his home state should set a
good example to the rest of the states
in advocating the income tax amend
ment.

Especial from United Press.)


 Washington, June 4-"A step for ward,' is the explanation made by many Senators of their action in vot- ing for the Senate railroad bill. That is the reason that close contests on many important amendments were followed by the overwhelming vote of 50 to 12 in favor of the bill when it was passed yesterday. It was a case of taking that or nothing and the dis satisfied ones accepted the bill for the good it contained and hoped for a day when the objections might be elimin- ated by amending the new law
 The creation of a court of commerce, which is to be devoted entirely to the consideration of cases growing out of inter state commerce law, was the hardest to swallow by the progressive Senators. Against the court there was urged the claim of lack of necessity that if it had been in existence dur ing the last three years it would have been called upon for the trial of only 2S cases; that it's creation would be an unconstitutional act; that it was unwise to place such tremendous in terests as are involved in the trans- portation under the Jurisdiction Of a small body of men; that in time the railroads with their great influence would get their own men on the bench of the court and that it's creation was

 At the close of the mass Rev Father McElroy, P. R., delivered a short sermon to the children, pointing out to them the significance of the feast of the Sacred Heart in connec- tion with the important event of their lives that had just taken place. He spoke of the institution of the blessed sacrament at the last supper, and of the approximation of the sacrament by the Catholic church down through the centuries He told them of the obli- gations they had assumed and of the abundance of grace they received through the reception of the blessed sacrament.

It was a crit 1cal audience, too. if only for the req son that it included Percy Meldon stage manager at Polfs. himself fin fshed actor. and necessarily a stern critic. MT.

 The plot of the second play hinges upon a letter written by young man to his sweetheart, which is received by d woman WnO wears a W0Qull1S IluS. Explanations have to be made.
 As for the "Piper's Pay''. it is satire upon women who steal things from hotels and other public places. for souvenirs.
