Dublin, July 1Z.-After four days
in the Emerald Isle, during. which
period they were greeted with every
evidence of loyalty and affection by
the great majority of their Hibern-
ian subjects in the places visited,
King George and Queen Mary, the
prince of Wales and the duke of
Connaught today boarded the royal
Yacht Victoria and Albert and sailed
for Wales. The departure of the roy
al party was marked by manifesto
tons of wild enthusiasm on the
part of the thousands assembled to
cheer them on their way.
Will Be Invested With Title.
Tomorrow at Carnovan, Wales, the
eldest son of the king and queen
will be formally invested with the
title and rank of Prince of Wales.
The young prince, who if he out
lives his father will become the rul-
er of the worlds greatest empire,
was seventeen last month. Rather
a timid lad, he has lately manifested
considerable nervousness at the ap-
proach of the ceremony of investi-
ture, which will be carried out with
great pomp and ceremony and with
all the. traditional rites and Observ-
ances.
In a blaze of color and medley
of song the prince of Wales will
come into his own, and the emotion
al Welsh people will welcome him
to the land of their fathers, not IS
"a stranger nor a mere guest, but as
one of Themselves real prince of

This is liIium Bulbiferum Day.
Belfast, Ireland, July 12.-Orange
is the prevailing color today in Bel
fast and throughout Ulster, and the
orange-colored flowers of the lilium
bulbiferum are in unprecedented de-
mand This being coronation year,
the orangemen are aroused to the
highest pitch of enthusiasm in the
defense of their Professionalism and
their king and have prepared to cele-
brate the twelfth of July and the
memories of BOyne and Aughrim
with more circumstance than ever
before. In those sections of the EN-
erald Isle where north and south
meet, the shamrock is being worn
in spirit of defiance and before
night there may be a mingling of
orange and green that will result
in adding black and blue, and even
red, to the color scheme. The con-
! stabulary and troops are in readi-
ness to be called out at moments
notice and it is hoped the day will
pass off quietly.
Toronto, Ont, July 12.-From Hall
fax to Vancouver the thousands of

national holiday

orangemen have prepared an elab-
crate program for their yearly OBJ
servance of Aughrim and Boyne.
Picnics and outings and the usual
parade will feature the day.

ST. Paul July ia warning to
the county boards of equalization to
see that the new law for the taxation
of money and credits is enforced is
contained in letter sent out by the
state tax commission yesterday to
the county boards. The commission
says it is. informed that in some in
stances the assessors have failed to
make any returns under the new law
and in other cases SO little that il
looks as if they had ignored or mis-
understood the law. In such cases
the tax commission urges reas
sessment
The circular also advises the cOun.
ty boards to be careful with the
other personal property assessments,
and says that it is false economy for
the county boards to hurry through
the work in order to save expense
for the county. The county boards
should 60 further than merely hear
ing complaints and should consider
each item, whether any one has com
planned or not.

The Martin County Independent
says the grasshoppers are continuing
to do some damage, especially to the
oats in different parts of the county.
Many of the farmers are cutting
their oats green and allowing it to
ripen in shock in order to escape
the ravages of the insects. AS yet
little damage is reported to the
wheat or corn.
AS previously stated, the grasshop-
pers are not of the variety that caus-
ed so much damage in the seventies
but of the native variety, of which
there are some every year but who
have multiplied rapidly during the
past two years on account of the
dry seasons.
This variety generally feeds on the
green heritage in the pastures and
meadows, but there being very lit
tie food for them this year, they
have attacked the green oat fields,
where their chief delight appears to
be not to eat the leaves and stalks OF
the grain as the old time Rocky
mountain locust did, but to bite off
the slender stem of the grain sup
ports and allow the kernels to drop
to the ground one by one.
There seems no reason to fear any
damage from them next year I'M
less the weather conditions should
be duplicated which is not probable
as seasons of drought and hot winds
are rare exceptions in Southern Min
nesota, while of frequent occurrence
in the arid regions of the west
While the oat crop has been dam.
aged the prospects for a splendid
yield of corn are good and farmers
who have planted sufficient amount
of fodder corn, and who have adopt
ed methods of cultivation that con-
serve the moisture in the soil, are
not discouraged and may get fair re-
turns from their lands and for their
labor.

The annual school election will b
held Saturday, and promises to be
about as tame an affair as it usually
is. The polls will be open from nine
o'clock in the forenoon until five
o'clock in the afternoon. The voting
places are the Franklin, Union, high
and Pleasant Grove buildings, respect
lively. The judges of election meet
Friday to correct the poll lists, which
have been posted for week past
on the school buildings, where vot.
ers can see whether or not they are
registered.
The members of the board whose
terms expire are C. A. Bishman in
the first precinct, George w. Scherer
in the second, DR.. w. A. Beach in
the third and Mrs. B. D. Smith in
the fourth. 1t is understood that
if reelected all of these will serve
another term, although two or three
of them are not active candidates.
In the first, Mr.. Bishman is not
an active candidate, but if elected
will serve another term. He will
have opposition, as John D. Duane,
editor of The Mankato Ledger, has
announced his candidacy. Mr.. Duane
came within seven votes of being
elected once before, and is making a
stronger effort this year. There are
no candidates against the sitting
members in the other precincts, so
far as known, and it looks as though
they would be reelected without op-
position. Mrs. Smith has been unde-
cided whether to be a candidate this
year, and recently decided not to be,
on account of the time and effort
that the position demands, but at the
earnest solicitation of friends, she
has authorized the use of her name
again. She has been very valuable
member of the board.
Some of d. G. Wizards friends
have spoken to him about becoming
a candidate for school board mem
Der in the first precinct, and when
sesn-ioday he ,saide that.>if they were
to bring about his election he would
accept, but that he would not like
to make a fight for the position.

RURAL CARRIERS WILL
RECEIVE HIGHER WAGE

Rural mail carriers out of MankatO
will be interested in the report from
Washington that the 40,000,000 car.
riers in the United States are to
receive salary increases as a result
of decision reached by Postmaster
General Hitchcock. The order will
provide for the disbursement dur
ing the current fiscal year to $4,-
100000, which will mean an increase
of $500 over the present salary of
5000 for all carriers on standard
routes, with proportionate increases
on the shorter routes.
Congress provided last session for
the expenditure Of this extra $4,000
600, hut left it :. he di ;Cretion of
the postmaSIe' genera! as to how
much of it should be expected. Mr.
Hitchcock decided today to author
ize the expenditure of the full
amount.
To Meet Parcels Post Burden.
His desire to compensate the car
niers for any additional burden which
may be placed on them if the par
cells post system he has recommend
ed for rural routes is approved by
alton, Mr.. Hitchcock said today,
which led him to make the author
ization.
"Now that the men are to receive
such a generous increase in pay"
he said, 81 feel that congress should
lose no time in authorizing the car
rying of parcels on rural routes. A
parcels post system on rural routes
can be conducted without any extra
expense to the government other
than the 100000 salary increase,
which, in nay judgment, would be
more than offset by the parcels post
revenue"
Believes System Will Pay.
During the current years the rural
service will cost the government
about $4O,0OO,000, the estimated loss
being about $25,OOO,OOO. The post
master general expressed the belief
that the parcels post system, under
proper management, would insure
the maintenance and proper extern
sion of the rural free delivery SER
vice as a self-supporting branch Of
the postal service.
The rural free delivery system
was started fifteen years ago with
eighty-three carriers, who were paid
only 5000 year. On July 1 there
were 41,562 carriers, their aggre-
gate salaries being $35, $4,000.
