most of the rise today and commission

New York, May 4.-Since the open
ing of the market this morning we
have had without any exception, the
most substantial rally we have wit
messed since the present decline on
April Is. Consequently the Street is
i'm n much more cheerful frame of
mind. but il is Il sort of frightened
cheerfulness, and people are not buy
ing stocks with any great amount of
confidence. Reports were current in
the Street this morning to the effect
that railroad bond issues totalling
500, 600, 900 have been placed abroad.
The break in foreign exchange would
seem to indicate that there is some
truth i'm the reports and it also means
that the gold exports for the time be-
ing NJ least, arc=over. There arc fur
ther stories of some big sales of the
metal to be announced today. This
story / cannot confirm.
The selling on this rally does not
look to me like short stock, but rather
like weak accounts being sold out

COLORADO LABOR LAW
Is DECLARED INVALID

Denver, June 1.-THE Colorado anti
coercion law, enacted twenty years
ago, which provides that no employer
shall discharge any employee because
he belongs to labor union or attends
labor meetings, has been declared in.
valid by Judge Sullivan, of Mesa
county. This law, regarded as the
strongest in Colorado for the protec.
ton of labor unions, has never before
been attacked.
The decision resulted from a suit
brought by State Labor Commissioner
Brake against McNeill Bros, operators
Of coal mine at Cameo, near Pali-
sades, who on April rs discharged and
evicted twenty-three men in their en-
ploy.
The suit was brought at Grand juno
ton under the coercion statute. Judge
Sullivan decided that the coercion act
was unconstitutional, but upheld the
eight-hour law.

HYBRID EXPERIMENTS
At, PUYALLUP STATION

Puyallup, June 13.-One of the most
interesting and productive expert
ments now being conducted at the
Western Washington experiment sta
ton is the growth of hybrid seeds.
Superintendent w. H. Lawrence says
there are 800 hybrid berry sprouts
planted in the hot house and in out
experiments in corn hybrids in pro-
gress that may develop new species of
corn especially successful in the Puy-
allup valley
The berry hybrids are in different
stages of advancement. Some are not
yet out of the ground, while others
are well started toward bushes. Mr..
Lawrence says the sprouts may grow
into loganberries or blackberries or
into red raspberries. 1t will be two
years before some of those now well
along will mature, although they may
give some fruit in year. The 800
seedlings planted represent SO differ
ent crosses. There are some plants
grown to a height of several feet in
the hot house that have three or four
kinds of berries on one branch. This
difference is produced by dropping the
pollen from one kind upon the blossom
of another.
Christian Westergaard, the soil ex-
pert, was recently at the Anderson
farm, near Renton, where cooperative
experiments in legumes are being car
ried out Legumes is the name OF all
vegetables coming in the pod class,
such as peas, beans, vetches, etc. The
| legumes are used on the new land to
introduce nitrogen or nitrate mater
ials into the soil. On the roots OF the
plants are carried little nodules whose
function is to extract nitrogen from
the air and put it into the soil. This
is but one phase of the experiment, as
/ it is also to be determined which
plants are the most successful to cui-
tivate and under what conditions. The
value OF the experiment station to the
valley farmers is becoming more ap-
narenf each wear.

State College, Pullman, June IL
1t is now known that President e. A.
Bryan expects to retire from the State
college on January 1, 1911. The in
formation comes as an entire surprise.
When asked to confirm the report,
President Bryan refused to be quoted
with either confirmation or denial. It
is known, however, that for some time
the president has been considering the
advisability of retiring, and that he
has at length decided to do so. Imme'
diately upon his retirement the presi

family for the dual purpose Of giving
Mrs. Bryan an opportunity to regain

This question Of accomplishments il

Who has not seen the wallflower
girl, who, when others were enter
tanning the company, replied solemnly:
I have no parlor tricks" which trite
saying yelled very thinly the fact
that she was secretly envious Of the
cleverness Of the others and wished
she could unlimber and do something
herself.
Now. whose fault Is 1.-THE girls?
No, indeed-her mother.

Well, that may have often been the

It is very easy for clever mother
to cultivate social talents In her chill

Make the boys and girls feel they
