practiced music on all their instru-
ments. They were fixing up for .

staggered from behind the screen.
For heavens sake. send for the po-
lice!" he shrieked. Torture mo NO

Washington. - The attitude OF the
Ing note presented to the Cuban gov
eminent:
The situation IN Cuba is now re-
ported causes grave concern to the
government OF the United States.
THAT the laws intended to safe
guard free republican government
shall be enforced and obeyed is obvi
ously essential to the maintenance OF
the law, order and stability inds-
pensable to the status OF the Repub
lie OF Cuba, in the continued well-be-
ing of which the United States has
always evinced and cannot escape a
vital interest.
THE President Of the United
States therefore looks to the Presi-
dent and government OF Cuba to pre-
vent the threatened situation which
would compel the government Of the
United States, much against its de-
sires, to consider what measures It
must take in pursuance Of the obli-
cations OF its relations to Cuba"
The notification of the American
government was served upon Presi-
dent Gomez through American Minis
ter Beaupre at Havana. 1t was on re-
ports OF Minister Beaupre that the
note was based. He reported from
Havana that in defiance OF decree
issued by President Gomez forbidding
officers OF the army and rural guard
to participate in politics, many army
officers and rurales attended a meet
ing recently OF the National Council
OF Veterans. an organization OF veter-
ans of the Cuban war OF indepen-
dence. Such participation also is pro.
hibited by law.
The veterans have been active in
the last three months. in attempting
TO have displaced from the civil serv-
ice persons who sympathized with the
Spanish cause in the rebellion.
Press dispatches indicated that the
veterans were threatening to coerce
members OF Congress to nullify the
law regarding the participation OF the
military in politics.

Do you remember the price Of tur-

mas, too. if you don't start" your tur-
keys now You can have a double
gain by rearing brood on the farm
this summer. They feed on grasshop-
pers and other insects almost to the ex-
tent of a complete diet. thus helping
to dispose of the grasshopper pest and
at the same time getting food for
themselves.
1t should not be understood that
enough turkeys could be reared in a
neighborhood to eradicate the insect
pests. II. however. there is only a
common number of hoppers they may
be greatly held in check by few me-
dunn sized 6ocks of turkeys. Too
many turkeys or congested quarters
are likely to cause bfackhead. This
disease is to be feared and guarded
against by poultrymen. If it once gets
started on farm it cannot be re-
moved. as the organism can live In the
soil Indefinitely and reinfect the flock
when least expected.
No farmer should depend on turkeys
alone to combat grasshoppers or other
insect pests A detailed study of the
life history of every insect enemy
should be made so that time may be
selected for the attack The best way
TO destroy grasshoppers is to stir the
soil containing their eggs during the
winter so that the cold and natural
enemies may destroy them Disking
will do it.-Kansas Industrialist.

coarse sediment retained in the bot
tom of the strainer may be washed

it the water needed in later boilings.
For rapid work the spigot should be
fairly large. with an opening three
quarters of an inch or more in diam

clearing the strainer and also enables
one to have screens of different mesh
