Mr.. Richards spoke briefly, replying
in very effective fashion to statements

tariff law that the Democrats had
had an opportunity to frame for many
years. and told how after the pass

A considerable portion of Mr..
Haines address was devoted to State

Corinto, Mic, Tuesday, Aug. 27.--
Commander Warren ]. Terhune and
force of 200 American sailors and
marines from the gunboat Annapolis

Corinto harbor, today, succeeded in
forcing their way through territory

Pacific coast and Lake Managua,
where the Liberals rose in arms, Aug
10, and massacred the sleeping garri-
son
The American force found the Lib
erals hostile to their advance and it
became necessary for Commander
Terhune to threaten to attack Leon
before the Insurgents would allow
the train bearing the American de-
taehment to enter the town. Rioting
had subsidized and the Americans
found the city resuming its normal
appearance. After comforting with
the Lineral leaders, Commander Ter
hume withdrew his force from the city,

and the remainder of the detachment
returning to Corinto. =
Corinto has been designated as a
place of refuge for the foreigners re-

LETRBRIDGE, ALBERTA,
SECURES DRY FARM
ING CONGRESS
FOR 1912.

The term, "dry farming" does not
Indicate all that might be implied. 1t
does not mean a system of irrigation.
but one where all the rain fall and
precipitation is stored up and con-
served in the soil, to be drawn upon
by scientific and sane processes when
it may be required to forward and in
crease the growth of grain.
In certain sections of the Canadian
West as well as in the American
West, there is a portion of the coun-
try in which the soil is the very best
for the growing of cereals, but the
geographical locations and relative
position to the rain avenues, do not
give the advantage that other parts
possess in the matter of precipitation.
Agricultural science, however, has
been making rapid progress during
the past few years. and it is now as
certained that it is not altogether the
number of inches of rain that is es-
Bential to the growing of crops, but
Its conservation, and that is the
meaning Of DRY farming" DRY
Farming" may well be applied to dis
tricts where there is a heavy rain fall
and better results will follow. The
education Of the public into these new
methods, not new exactly, but such
as have had satisfactory demonstra-
ton, is not alone the purpose of these
dry-farming Congresses. One idea is
to bring into life and into operation
the great areas of splendid land lying
within what might be termed semi
arid, without placing them under the
restrictive and expansive process of
irrigation.
The Congresses are attended by
thousands and they bring representa-
tives from all parts of the world. The
Province of Alberta, and also Of Sas-
katchewan, has taken vital interest
in the Congresses which have been
held in the past two or three years.
The Province Of Alberta has made
provincial exhibits, districts have
shown their products, and last year,
several hundred dollars we're taken in
prizes; this year the Province of AL
berta took prizes ten to one in excess
Of any state in the Union. Alberta
has won eight out Of twenty special
cups, that province taking one, Leth-
bridge one, Arthur Perry six, and
John Baxter, Edmonton, carrying off
one sweepstakes. When 1t came to
a matter Of location for the Congress
for 1912, the City of Lethbridge,
which had put up a splendid fight for
it, secured the Congress by unani-
nous vote. 1t is expected that the
Lethbridge Congress will be the larg-
est yet held and will be the biggest
convention in the history Of Western
Canada. In emphasizing his invita-
ton to Lethbridge, one of the speak
ers said he had just received tele-
gram from Magrath (near Lethbridge)
stating that of one thousand acres Of
wheat just thrashed Hethershaw and
Bradshaw had thrashed $4,000 bush
els.
Literature sent out recently by the
Canadian Government Agents, which
will be sent postage free on applica-
ton, tells of hundreds of splendid
yields in all parts of Western Canada.

Reware Cheap Bills.

An examination of paper currency
by Warren H. Hilditch of Yale showed
an average of one hundred and forty
two thousand bacteria on the bill.
Twenty-one bills were examined, and
while some were relatively clean car
rying only a trifle of fourteen thou
sand living things, others swarmed to
the figure of five hundred and eighty
six thousand And, strange to say, the
bacteria did not seem to swarm to
the $1,000 bills in preference to the
81 bills.
This shows that 1t Is far healthier
to carry $1,000 bills about than it is
to tote 81 bills. Here is a valuable
financial hint.
