HIGHCOST OF FLOUR

MCPHERSON

"No baker in the city is selling
pound loaves of bread" said DON
aid Mcpherson, proprietor of the
Sunrise bakery today, following
the report printed in the Times
yesterday that Tacoma bakers
were selling loaves weighing from
a little over eight ounces up.
I'VE can't afford to with the
high cost of flour and labor said
Mcpherson. THAT is where the
public must put the blame for the
cost of bread.

LONDON, Oct. 3.-Absolute re-
fusal by Italy to consider the ac-
ceptance of Intervention by the
powers is the burden of dispatches
from Rome received by diplomats
here today. Turkey, say Con-
'stantinople advices, scorns the
idea that Italy may pay cash for
Tripoli and in the light of these
statements little hope of an early
termination of the struggle is felt
in official circles here.

Later she stated that the

Mr.. and Mrs. John Himoe,
mother and step-father of the girl,
were greatly relieved when she
showed up. They had been near
ly wild with anxiety.

The country around Spapaway
had ben raksd with a finetooth
comb, and many believed that the
girl had been a victim of foul
play, though no outcry had been
heard.
Street car conductors and
neighbors were interviewed in
vain.
Though the distance from the
Methodist church to the Holdal
home is short, 1t is near an auto

have ben abducted by a drunken
party.

The Hottest June on Record.

According to the weather bureau
station at Charlotte June has been
hotter this year than aver before. The
Charlotte Observer says:
The month of June will go down in
the history of the local station of the
weather bureau as the hottest June
that Charlotte has ever known. There
were 20 days during which the Their
mometer registered so degrees and
above, with an average for the month
of 70 degrees, or three and one-half
degrees above the normal. Some idea
of the temperature may be had by
saying that the month has been &C.
lipsed by only one other month, and
that was August, 1900, when the Their
mometer registered 80 degrees and
above for 25 days.
The total precipitation during the
month Of June was 2.02 inches, which
is less than one-half of the normal
which is 4.46. The month has also
been one of the dryest that the city
has ever experienced.
That the heat is continuing is evil
denced by the additional fact that
during the last nine days of the
month, the thermometer has never
failed to go above go degrees (being
81 yesterday and never failing un-
der 70 degrees at night. This is it.
self is a record seldom euualed and
will explain something of the swelter-
ing heat Of the past fortnight.
The high record for the month was
SO degrees June IL and the low record
81 degrees June 9.

Useful Fads.

The growing generation finds il
hard to have whatever they take an
interest in a fad" or a phase" by
their elders, and, as a matter of fact.
the elders would be wise 10 take these
things more seriously, for they can
be made a powerful educational in
fuence. One young mother, whose
little daughter took to stamp collect
ing, made use of the fad to awaken
an interest in the various countries
from which the stamp came, and now
the child has a knowledge of geogra-
ply that is quite amazing to those
who studied this subject in the ortho-
dox way. Later on, when the same
girl started to bring home pebbles,
books on geology written in simple
language were put within her reach,
while the mother delved into more
learned tones to find answers to her
eager questions. Under such condi-
tons children learn with avidity and
retain their knowledge much longer
than when it is presented to them in
the form of a lesson.

General Farm Notes.
spray, spray. and spray again.

Spray, spray, and spray again.
Leave the herd in pasture only q
short time at first.
Three or four inches is deep enough
to pillow the orchard,
GO over every rod of fence before
turning the cows out.
More mules die Of sccideIt n Old
age than from disease.
The busy tanning mill is owned by
the protit-making farmer.
A mule seldom gets sick more than
once and he generally dies then.
1t will save time and cash to keep
the herd from forming bad habits.
Oats, like rye, require phospnorlc
acid and potash and very little nj
trogen.
Do not be in too much OF a hurry to
force a horses coat to shed in the
spring.
Don't let up on the feed because it
is nearly time to put the cows out in
pasture.
George Washington was the first
breeder of high-priced mules in this
country.
Pure bred draft horses are coming
slowly in this country but they are
surely coming.
If the feed in the bin or the hay in
the NOV is getting low, don't cut
down the cows ration.
1t is said that snort legged fowls

long legged ones.

sight seen on Mai nstreet Monday
morning.
Seats Not Needed.
It was proposed at a recent meetina
of the Merchants Association to place
seats along Main street for the accom-
mediation and pleasure of visitors and
citizens. 1t is found that the sugges-
ton was superf1ous and unnecessary,
The street railway ties now deccrat

admirably and will probably continue
to do so for some time to come.

COW administered a rebuff to the pup

The Way to Begin.

Every merchant in every town
should advertise, first of all, in his
home newspapers. He cannot make
himself well known otherwise; he
cannot do as much business as he
wants to do otherwise.
He need spend only in proportion to
the bushes he does in a year. If he
did a $4,000 business last year, spend
$500 to $3.50 in advertising; if he did
$4,000, spend $1,000 to $3.50 in adj
vertising, and so on.
It will be a beginning and it will
pay-but the greatest care should be
taken, since only small space can be
used, to make each advertisement as
full of meat as possible-make it stand
out conspicuously in type effect, and
make the reading matter say some
thing and mean it.
