Weather Crop Bulletin.

For the week ending April II, 1911.
The first half Of the week was cloudy
and stormy, with copious rainssattend-
ed by thunder and lightning, and in
many localities by high and damaging
winds. The last four days were gen.
orally clear with cold nights; the mini
mum temperature being below the
freezing point over the northern half Of
the state on the mornings Of the l4th
and 18th, The cold, wet weather re-
tarded farm work. but the rain was
very beneficial and has put the soil in
excellent condition for tilling. Con-
siderable progress was, however, made
during the last three days of the week
in plowing and seeding. Practically
all of the spring wheat and barley are
in and the bulk of the oats will be
seeded by the middle of the coming
week. Grass is beginning to start
nicely since the late rains, and winter
wheat is in good condition. Fruit buds
are generally dormant. Notwlthstand-
ing the fact that the season is some
what backward. the general conditions
are at present very promising,

Pesident CrIticIses Unauthorized In.
terview in Paris Paper.

Charles D. Hilles. secretary to Presi-

legged interview with the President

Paris The official statement was in

AN alleged interview in the Matin,

dent on certain phases of the attitude
of the government of the United States
toward certain foreign affairs was this
morning brought to the attention of
the secretary to the President.
THE gentleman who wrote the inter-
view was one of a very large number
received during a busy morning, and
no interview whatever was authorized" I"

LESSON FROM THE OLD MAINE.
Tests to Be Made OF Coal in the
WecIZed Battle Ship.

The Navy Department will make tests
Of the caloric qualities of the coal re-
naming in the bunkers Of the old battle
ship Maine to determine the amount of
deterioration due to the contact of salt
water. A fifty-ton sample will be taken
from the wreck now in Havana Harbor,
and the tests probably will be conducted
at a navy yard in the United States.
It Is hoped that the tests will show the
deterioration Of the coal, which has been
under water for thirteen years, as COM
pared to the loss of caloric qualities suf-
fered by coal stored in the open air. II
It is found that the loss in steaming
power Is less than that of coal exposed to
the air, 1t is proposed to store quantities
of navy coal under water regularly.

THREATENS PARCEL POST.
Senator Bourne Believes 1-eent
f- Rate Demand Dangerous.

The greatest danger to the parcel
post movement lies in the demand for a
1-cent letter rate" said Senator Jonathan
Bourne, II. chairman of the Senate Com
mittee on Post-oiices and Post Roads, in
statement yesterday.
Establishment of the 1-cent letter
postage would mean a reduction Of the
revenues Of the postal service and would
delay enactment of parcel-post leg1sla-
ton. deem II important, therefore, that
all advocates Of the parcel-post coun-
teract the influence Of this demand for
1-cent letter postage by asking that the
parcel post be established before the
question Of reduction in letter postage
is considered"

To my

public
in general:

This is the season for gooc
cheer and gratitude, and
would be possessed of a hear
of Sdamant should I fail tc
acknowledge my high appreci,
alton of your patronage during
the past year.
About "a years ago I came
to Washington and inmedi-
ately became identified with the
musical interests of the Capt.
tai. In 1895 I took charge
of small piano business and
for Is years directed its
growth to substantial pro-
portions. Last winter I es-
tablished my own warerooms,
and to say that l am pleased
and grateful at the results puts
the matter very mildly.
The volume and character
of my business has really ex-
ceeded my fondest hopes, and
it is my purpose to show nv
gratitude by rendering serv-
ice of a still higher character
than ever before. A few
months ago my son and my
self comprised my working
force, and to-day there are 21
statesmen, bookkeepers, me-
chanical experts, &c, on our
pay roll,
While realizing the tempta-
ton of bargains" it is my
earnest belief that no small
share of my success is due to
a well-known policy to main
tain a high order of trading,
with a view to satisfying our
patrons after goods are in use
and prices forgotten.
