HITCH MAY HALT
CHINESE LOAN

PEKING, China, July 1O.-A hitch
has temporarily halted the negotiations
for the $30O0OO,OOO loan, which was to
have been made by the six-Power com
bination to China. The attitude of the
finance minister is said to be respon-
sible for the trouble. He is reported to
be adverse to the terms of the loan,
which would handicap China in building
up her army and navy.

by former Governor Carter and Jack :"
Atkinson, is going to make a running.
Mr. Carter, in his statement made last
night, said:
al want to correct a statement that
appears to have been made by good
many here since | returned home. We
are not Roosevelt enthusiasts. We are
Progressives. We believe that Roose-
welt is the best man to lead the Pro
gressive party on the mainland and
should like to see him elected, but his
candidacy has nothing to do with local
issues, beyond what every presidential
campaign has In other words the Pro.
gressive party of Hawaii, if we can Sc
cure authority to organize one here, of
which | have no doubt, will devote
itself locally to fighting for civic bet
terment here. We have had Republican
and Democratic administrations and
see what they have given us. Why not
give the Progressives a chance.p

To Aid Wilson.

TRENTON, New Jersey, July TO-
Insofar as the influence of Samuel Com
pers, president of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor counts, labor interests
will fight in the Democratic ranks in
this campaign. The big labor leader
announced last night, that after stud
ying the platform passed at the Bal
timOre convention he decided it was
one which received his approval and
one he could consistently support as
labor man. He indicated his inten-
tion of throwing his influence in favor
of Governor Wilson of New Jersey in
his campaign for the presidency.

New Zealand Land Law.

Butt he was asked, "what are
the local issues upon which you will
stand? What, for instance, will you
do about the land question.
81 hope that the Progressives will
take up that question Immediately, and
before doing anything else settle once
and for all time the matter of respon-
sibility. As things stand now the re-
sponsibility is split among a Governor,
| land commissioner and a land board ;
things go to skies and sevens and no
one is held accountable
"In this connection ! should like to
say that if the Progressives are or.
ganized, / believe they will at once
appoint council, composed of intelli.
gent men who will consider the more
obvious evils aud plan to remedy them
as soon as may be. That council and
indeed the whole Progressive party
would, think, stand ready to accept
suggestions. For instance, Judge vii
der has suggested that we attempt tC
pass modified New Zealand land law
which provides against immense hold
ings of land by any persons or comb
nation of persons or by any companici
or corporations of either. Such n law

and better service, with better publ

the things Progressiyism stands for o

Gilbert's facile repartees came in
useful at rehearsals. One afternoon
a well-known actor had been made to
repeat one scene over and over again
When he was told for the forty-sev.
enth time that 1t was all wrong he
stepped down to the footlights and
said: "Mr. Gilbert, l must tell you that
I'm not very good tempered man."
mo-" said Gilbert, neither am l."
Furthermore" the actor went on,
I'D like to have you know, Mr.. GIL.
bert, that I'm a very strong man."
WELL" said Gilbert, I'm six feet four
in my socks, but If you really want
to know the difference between us-I
am an extremely clever man."
There was another actor who OBJ
jected to being continually corrected
and snapped out: Look here, Mr.. Gil.
bert; know my lines" 81 know you
do" answered Gilbert but the
trouble is, dear boy. that you don't
know mine"

Coronation Sermons.

In the old days. when preIates were
constantly called upon for sermons
on special occasions. they frequently
either paid for a suitable discourse or
begged some competent friend to
lite one for the occasion. Bishop
o"anson gained general applause in
1853 for a sermon preached In West
minister Abbey at a great service on
the day Of thanksgiving appointed
to be observed for the signal sue
cesses with which his majesty's arms
had been blessed" An enthusiastic
vote OF thanks was passed by the
house Of lords to the preacher "for his
eloquent and excellent DISCOURSE" and
he was requested to cause the same
to be forthwith printed and pub
lished." It was announced as the
work Of James. by Divine Previ.
dence. Lord Bishop OF Worcester" but
many years Rfterward the fact was
disclosed that every word Of this SER
mon had been written for the bishop
BY his friend Lord Mansfield. The
sermon contained glowing panegyric
on the many admirable virtues Of
George I1.--London Truth.

by taking SIX kCrnels from each ear

the germ. This may best be done by
inserting a knife at the edge Of the
kernel and gently prying it out, as
shown in Figure 3. Handle each ear
In similar manner. The kernels
should be removed from different
parts Of the ear. After the kernels
arc placed in the tester, spread q
thickness or two Of damp cloth over
them and cover with moist sand. Then
set the tester where it will have good
growing tcmpera ture. A emDeraturc
Of about 70 degrees f. is suitable. If

the corn will have sproutcd in four or
hVe days 50 as to enable one to de-
terminc the good ears If in any of
the squares the kernels fail to grow
or SHOW low vitality, they should be
discarded and not planted, as it will
result III poor and uneven stand.
which will greatly reduce the profit
