VALUABLE RING RECOvEREn

Under remarkable circumstances a
valuable gold ring, set with sapphsres
and pearls, belonging to a resident OF
Rochester. near Uttoxeter. Stafford
shire, England. has been discovered
after being missing for over four
years. 1t is assumed that the ring
must have been carted away with
ashes, for while working on nearby
farm a bailiff found the ring In
field Although it had been missing
for such a lengthy period the ring
was not in the least furnished. The
man who was working in the field
with the bailiff happened to remem-
Der the loss Of the ring.

The clergy of Italy, Spain and Por-
tugal made a loud outcry against the
heather Dance but the physical cul-
turists and dancing masters favored
IL on the ground that 1t was good ex-
ercise. In the fashionable dancing
schools of Rome IL was all the rage
for a short time. Traces OF the tur-
key trot can be seen in the folk
dances OF Switzerland. Portugal, Spain.
Italy and France.
In 1888 an Italian named Giovanni
Casini introduced the dance to San
Francisco. For time IL was not ap-
preciated much outside OF Barbary

the independence day of France:
"Oh, eet will be re grande time"
The continental Sunday has about
as much chance in Washington as
the count would have had in the
Marathon, and SO the only way the
head of the house of Perreard could
observe the day was to sip a little
green stuff, as 1t filtered through a
loaf of sugar But all the time the
tricolor fioated in the breeze from the

The count could not have public

bad day for France.

Mo branch OF the United States gov
~ eminent comes so near to the life
of the people as the department of
agriculture. which deals with the cot
ton and other fbers OF which our
clothes are made, the flocks and
herds we raise, the crops We produce.
the food We eat and the timber OF
which our houses are built.
The closeness of the relation be-
tween the department and the people
Is in great measure due to the fact
that the use which is made of agri-
cultural products receives as much
attention as their production. and the
great bulk of these products is used
in the home.

hammered at by some mischievous
boy.
And Captain Curtis said that it was
not a very bad storm.
MlSSoURlAN WAS LUCKY.
The Missourian seemed to escape
the most of the bad weather. She got
in this morning only about half a day
late, and reports that no damage was
done to the cargo or to the mules and
horses that were on board, consigned
to the Schuman Carriage Company.
Captain Lyons made a beautiful
landing this morning. Stern first he
backed into the railroad wharf, and
soon he had the big Missourian laid
alongside the wharf without a bump,
and within a very few feet of the
stern of the Honolulan, which was ly.
ing farther up at the same wharf.
The Missourian left Seattle on Sun
day week at four o'clock and was,
therefore, nine and a half days on the
run. The weather was bad all the
way, but it must be moderating up
north a lot, for Captain Lyons could
not call it the worst that he has ever
experienced by any means. 1t was,
however, bad enough to necessitate
his slowing down to save the horses
and mules from being hurt in the mo-
ton of the vessel. He was thus able
to prevent any loss. and all the ami
mails reached the dock safe and sound
this morning.
The Missourian has about two thou
sand tons of cargo from New York,
and little over two thousand tons
from the Sound ports. the bulk Of
which is the cargo that had to be left
by the Virginian when she had her
smashup. For here there are about
$500 tons, the chief items being hay
for the government and water pipes
for the Public Works Department.
There are also some small general
cargoes for Kahului and Hilo.

This IS going to be a late planting season. The bad weather has h cid every thing back. If we are not careful, it is going to be a late season, droughth, and boil weevil. The only way to overcome these condi- tions is early maturity. All authorities on farmin g agree that the greatest help toward early maturity is good fertilizer. We have been watching crop and weather conditions careful ly, and have especially de- signed OUT fertilizers to meet them. There are certain things that can be put into fertilizer that causes early maturity. All during the bad weather we have been workinson just these things. The result is our fertilizers are specially well adapted to existing conditions. We know what they will do. The only thing we have to do is to show you what they will do. If you are inter- ested, let us know. Drop in at our office and talk to us about YOUR crop, YOUR troubles. We are interest. ed, and we believe we can help you. If your mer- chant does not handle Hope Fertilizers, let us know. We will see that you get them.
