Within the past two years vege-

great extent by the introduction into
Turkey of coal tar and aniline prepa-

Harput, Turkey. In the old days the
art of preparing vegetable dyes and
of dyeing was followed by many
people of this country, the secrets of
the trade being handed down for gen.

occupied an enviable position in the
villages and lived far better than the
mechanics and tradespeople of the
place. In those times every rug weav-

BIG CROPS IN S. D.
HARVESTING is PRACTICALLY
COMPLETED I'M SECTIONS OF
SOUTHERN PORTION.
THREsHING THIS WEEK
Corn Yield Expected to be the Great
est Ever Raised in the State.
Hot and Dry Weather
Necessary.

Sioux Falls, South Dakota. = With
ideal harvest weather during the past
week or ten days the work of har-
vesting the small grain crop is prac-
tically completed in many sections Of
the southern portion of South Dakota,
and is well along in the northern por-
ton. So anxious are the farmers to
complete their harvesting operations
that the work continued over Sunday
without rest, it being deemed import
ant to get the small grain out of the
way at the earliest possible moment
rather than take chances on the grain
being damaged by hail or other seri-
GUS storms
There now is not the slightest doubt
that South Dakota has this season
raised the greatest small grain crop
for many years. In limited areas the
hot weather of the early part Of July
injured small grain to such an ex-
tent that it could not make a salts
factory recovery, but in the state at
large the crop is the heaviest produc-
ed for years. In some localities
WhCkC TIC SIdlhS vi Iu6 grain were
stunted by the hot weather of July
the farmers were gratified to find that
the subsequent rains and cool weather
had caused the heads to fill we'll, and
the result is that many Of these fields
of stunted grain will yield as we'll as
fields in more favored sections of the
state.
By the close of this week threshing
will be general in the south half of
the state and will be commencing in,
the northern half. In many localities
in the southern section threshing oper-
atoms have been in progress for sever
al days and returns are commencing
to be received. These show crafty
ing conditions and large yields with
scarcely an exception
Corn is making rapid progress and
with few weeks of hot and dry
weather will Re of the greatest crop OF
the kind ever raised in the state.

JUDGE ARCHIBALD
Is a Member of the New Com
merCe Court.
IN RAILROAD DEALS, ALLEGED
President Taft Sends the Results Of
the Attorney Generals InVestiea-
tions To the Judiciary Com
mittee Of the House.

Washington.-The House of Repre-
sentatives has ordered an investiga'
ton of the conduct of Judge Robert
w. Archibald, of the Commerce Court,
to determine whether or not he should
be impeached on charges that he has
used his office to procure favors from
railroads. The inquiry will be made
by the Committee on the Judiciary,
which is charged by resolution to in
vestigate whether Judge Archibald
has been guilty of an impeachable
offense" and TO report its conclusions
and recommendations to the House.
This action followed the receipt by
the House of a message from Presl-
dent Taft responding to a resolution
adopted several days ago and the sub
mission to the Judiciary Committee
by Attorney-General Wickersham of
the result of his investigation of the
charges.
The President said the allegations
were brought to his attention by Com
missioner Meyer, of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, in February.
He instructed the Acknowledgement to
make an investigation and place the
charges before the Judiciary Commit
| tee if they were established suf-
fciently to justify proceeding on
them"
As a result of a careful inquiry, it
was the judgment of the Attorney
General, papers in the case should be
! transmitted to the committee as a
basis for further investigation.
Not since the case of Judge Swayne,
of Florida, was heard by the Senate
has a United States Judge been the
subject of inquiry by a committee of
| Congress.
Judge Archibald is from Pennsyl-
vania and was appointed to the Com
merce Court by President Taft, Jan
uary 81, 1911. He is circuit judge,
and his tenure on the Commerce
Court will be four years, after which
he returns to the Third circuit.

WEARS BRAIDS TO WIN PRIZE.

Boston-The only full-grown youth
been cut is wearing rich, thick locks
in braids like a girl to win a mys-
FERROUS prize of $4,000.
That sounds like a romance, but
it's true. Here's the story.
The mystery boy is Stephen Rich
ard Lund, and he has lived all his
life at Warren, N. H., little village
in the very heart of the White Noun
tain foothills. Stephen Lund will be
seventeen years old on the 9Th OF next
July.
In answer to the query, why is it
that your son never has cut his hair"
Mrs. Lund replied pleasantly:
why, he never has, that's all. AS
a boy Stephen had beautiful hair,
Just like a girl. 1t was thick, rich
and glossy, and we hated to cut it.
Year after year went by and we never
did cut it. Some say he can't cut it
or he'll lose all the money. But
there's nothing to that story. The
Lord knows l wish he did have a for
tune coming to him, but as far as l
know he has not. Pretty soon, next
summer, perhaps, l guess he'll have
it cut"

PRAISE FOR MODERN WON

Kansas City, Mo.-The modern wo-

lures of our grandmothers, accord

when we speak of our virtuous
grandmothers, with our eyes reprov-

said, at behooves us to calculate how
much time a woman can take to do
the necessary things of the home while
she is working at 81 week. The vir-
tues of the housewife of a generation
ago are now the luXuries of the well

THAT women of the olden times
were forced through economic condi-
tons to perform the homely duties of
cooking, making clothes and keeping
the home clean does not mean that
her sisters of today, who must help
support the family by work outside
the home, are in any less degree wo'

English Syndicate Secures Pas
ture Land in Brazil.
Plan Under Way for Exports on Huge
Scale - Building of Railways
Makes Gigantic Project
Feasible.

London.-The report that wealthy
syndicate has been formed with the
object of rearing cattle on an enor-
nous scale in Brazil for export to the
principal markets of Europe has been
received with considerable interest in
this country, and in some quarters
even with surprise, it being imagined,
apparently, that Brazil never would
be likely to enter into serious competi-
ton with Argentina as beef produc-
ing country. In the past, lack of
transport facilities certainly rendered
enterprise of this kind out of the ques-
ton, but the development of the rail-
way systems of the country has been
so remarkably rapid in recent times
that the difficulties which prevailed
are fast disappearing. On the score
of the suitability of the country for
cattle ranging those people intimately
acquainted with Brazils vast areas Of
rich pasture lands have no doubts.
They prophesied long ago that one
day they easily might occupy a lead
ing, If not first, place among countries
competing for the custom of the Eu-
ropean consumer requiring large sup
plies of meat from abroad.
Discussing the project, an official of
the Brazilian consulate in London
stated that they had not yet received
details concerning the territory &C.
quired, but it was considered likely
that it would prove to be situated in
the state of Plainly in the north of the
country. This state contains some of
the finest pasture land in Brazil, and
already does small export trade in
oxen.
Some people," he added, have
made the mistake of imagining that
Brazil is not suitable for cattle rang

TlTANTIc INQUIRY ENDS.
The Senate Committees Report Being
Prepared.

New York.-When the Senate COM
mittees investigation of the sinking
of the Titanic was completed here Sat
urday night by Senator William Alden
Smith it became known that the com
mittee's report, which may be ready
for the Senate in week, will be
based on these facts brought out in
the testimony:
The Titanic was warned OF icebergs
by other vessels.
The liner was running % knots an
hour and did not slacken speed.
Captain Smith was not on the
bridge, but at dinner in his cabin.
The lookout in the crows nest
was not provided with binoculars.
There was no evidence that the
water-tight compartments were closed
at all.
There was no testimony that the
lfe-saving apparatus and safety de-
vises were properly tested before the
Titanic left Southampton.
There were lifeboats for not more
than one-third of those on board.
1t was learned that some of the
things that Senator Smiths report to
the Senate will recommend are:
More complete American inspection
of liners. THE United States cannot
inspect foreign-built liners before they
are launched but this country can pre-
vent improperly built and equipped
vessels from leaving American ports, y
Senator Smith said.
Requirement of lifesaving apparatus
and lifeboats sufficient for all on
board and efficient water-tight COM
partments.
Standardization of the wireless.
There will be an international wire
less convention in Berlin in July, and
Senator Smith said that this phase of
the lesson taught by the Titanic dis
aster will be taken up there.

THOUSANDS OF

THE LOSSES IN THE MILLIONS
Water From New Crevasse At Angola
Will lnundate Sections OF
Eight Parishes In
Louisiana.

Torras. Lathe second line OF
levee protecting the big state convict
plantation from the Mississippi River
at Angola, La, broke Thursday after
noon, and within a short time the
5.00O-acre plantation was inundated.
The state recently completed hat
million dollar sugar refinery on the
Angola plantation.
All hope of closing the Torras
crevasse was abandoned following
conference between Governor Sanders
and state engineers.
News that the engineers had given
up all hope of closing the crevasse
was flashed to every town on the west
side of the Mississippi River within
radius of so miles of the break. 1t
means the abandonment of thousands
of homes in the territory south cY
Torras and property losses that will
run into the millions.
The Angola break is across the
river from the Torras crevasse ana
less than six miles distant. The flood
waters on the Angola side will cover
thousands of acres Of fine farming
land along the east bank as far down
as Bayou Sara and st, Francisville,
and probably will return to the Mis-
sissippi, near Morganza, La.
Women screaming and mel yelling
as they hurried into their homes and
grabbed their children and valuables
in their mad effort to reach places OF
safety, ard the stamping of animals
turned loose by their owners to seek
safe places were some of the chaotic
conditions that prevailed in Torras
when the alarm was sounded that the
levee at the junction of the Old and
Mississippi Rivers had given way to
the mighty pressure of the flood
waters
Before the streets were entirely
submerged a majority of the inhabit-
ants had reached places of safety.
Three hundred women and children
were placed aboard a freight train,
which had just arrived in Torras.
These We're taken to a point below

No loss of life has been reported,
but millions of dollars of loss will be

tions in the state, it is feared, by this
