AMERICA STEPS IN.
United States Will Protect Foreigners
in Nicaragua.

Washington, Aug. 22.-Complete ar
rangements to throw force of two
thousand bluejackets and marines into
Nicaragua within 10 days TO protect
foreign lives and property and keep rail-
road communication open from the
American legation in Managua to the
Pacific coast were made yesterday by
the navy department.
Secretary Never yesterday issued rush
orders for the big armored cruiser Cali
fornia at San Diego. Calf, to proceed
to Panama Meanwhile the transport
Prairie has been ordered from the Ports
mouth, y. H., navy yard to Philadelphia
to take aboard $50 marines and sail to
Colon. This force will be sent over the
Panama railroad TO Panama and be
taken on board the cruiser California
and be rushed north to San Juan del
Sur, and Corinto.
These plans will bring the United
States forces on the ships close by and
already ashore in the reimbursement
republic to more than 1000 men. OH
eials believe that number will be suiIl-
eient to protect Americans and their
property and keep the railroad open. The
line, which is American owned, runs
from Managua to Corinto. 1t has been
in constant danger of interruption by
the revolutionists under General Mens.
II the rebels seized the railroad, all the
Americans in the capital would be cut
off from the principal seaport on the
Pacific. The telegraph line running to-
Corinto and to the cable station, San
Juan del Sur, also on the Pacific side,
has been interrupted at times. The mill
tary force is also expected to protect
communication.
Plans to make the force of two thou
sand available became known after con-
ferences yesterday between officials of
the navy and state departments. What
reports prompted their action are not
fully known. II is believed, however,
American Minister Weitzers recommen-
dations were considered.

NEWSPAPERS ARE
BEST EDUCATORS
They Reach the Largest Number of Pro
gressive People in All Parts of
the Country.

There would be but little progress in
education in this land of the free if il
were not for the newspapers.
Since Benjamin Franklin got together
few fonts of type and little printing
press that he made himself in Philadel-
pIlia in the year 1920, and started a
newspaper, the cause of education has
been advanced and developed up to the
present standard. In fact, Franklin him
self said his education was mainly due
to the "art preventative"
At the present time over billion
pounds of white paper are consumed for
newspapers every year. As soon as a
child is old enough to read, it begins
to prepare the way for an increase in
the consumption of white paper.

are the greatest educators because they
reach the largest number of people, the

TAFT WILL SIGN
PANAMA MEASURE
President, However, Intends to Express
Disapproval Of One of Its
Features.

Washington Aug o. President Taft
will not veto the Panama bill, it was
learned at the White House yesterday,
although the matter is not entirely to
his liking.
The president thinks Congress should
have made it plain the legislation is not
in any way a repeal of the HayPaunce-
fote treaty. However, owing to the late
ness OF the session and the fact that
there is pressing need for the Panama
bill to become law at once, so that
the engineers can plan their operating
organization. the president viii sign the
bill, but will probably send a message to
Congress pointing out his objections.
The presidents decision to sign the
bill followed news that the House would
not accept his plan to pass an amend
ment giving foreign nations authority
to appeal in the supreme court from the
free-tolls provision.

WASTE OF BARNARD MANURE.
A Fault Which Farmers Should Strive
to Correct.

Three and one-half tons of manure
yield one ton Of organic matter is what
produces crops, therefore he who han
dies manure holds the life of his farm
in his hands; and he who wastes it
robs the soil Of its inheritage, with wan
ing of vitality and death of fertility as
q result, says J. A. Raiser in the Indiana
Farmer. Yet this very thing of wasting
manure is grave weakness with us, or
how could it be said, that "the waste OF
barnyard manure in this country each
year amounts to not less than $780,
100000; or that half the value Of
barnyard manure as ordinarily cared for
goes to waste
One method making greater the waste
of manure is that of leaving it in piles
about the fields, leaving much time in
teryene before spreading, and then when
spreading throwing it about in Jumps.
Scarcely more than half, If as much, of
its benefit is received in this manner OF
handling. 70 correct this error, use a
manure spreader and spread it as hauled
evenly about the field. 1t will go much
further and do more good as its best
