Due to Drouth.
Topeka, Kan.-It Is estimated by
the State fish wardens that not less
than 1000, 900 pounds Of catfish. carp
and buffalo fish were caught by hand
in Kansas streams the past month
Because Of the drouth nearly all OF
the smaller streams went dry and the
fish we're driven into the pools in the
larger streams, where It was easy to
see them in the clear water. Men
waded into these pools and with pitch
forks speared the helpless hsh or
caught them with their hands. Sew
eral reports OF the capture OF hsh
weighing fifty pounds or more have
reached here. and smaller fish were
caught by the gunnysackful. In ponds
formed by mill dams the fish literally
swarmed, and in these places line fish
ing attracted thousands OF anglers.
This has resulted in greatly depop-
ulating the streams, and 1t will be
necessary to run the fish hatchery to
its full capacity for the next two
years to restock the streams and to
stock new ponds being built.

An Oklahoma City (Okla.) dispatch
to the New York World says:
The raising Of peanuts has become
q substantial industry in Oklahoma
the acreage having jumped from 49,

Oklahoma yield from 40 to 200 bush
els an acre, and in addition produce
from one to two tons Of excellent hay
The hay is almost the equal Of alfalfa
Growers receive from 75 cents to $1.50
a bushel for their peanuts. 1t 10 est'

Elkin. N. C.-The bedroom OF Mrs.

rugs, druggets and portiers, the handi'
work of two estimable women OF this
town-Miss Caroline McHargue, sew
enty-four, and her elder sister, Mrs'
Martha Walker, seventy-six. Several
months ago the women got the idea
of paying their respects to Mrs. VIII
son by means Of present represent
ing the work of their delft hands. They
are expert dyers and weavers. and
thew use the old time process OF dye
ing with barks and herbs, and weave
ON an o.d-fashioned hand loom, pre-
pairing the thread with card and spin
ming wheel.
In the loom room veritable atmos-
phere Of the past still fingers. There
may be found everything pertaining to
the manufacture of homespun mate
rials-wheels, sleys, skarnes, clock
reels, quilting wheels. swifts, vast
bales of thread and yarn. There also
may be found piles OF new and old
carpets and bed coverlets woven In
fanciful geometric designs. such as
formed the favorite floor and bed COW
ering of our ancestors and which are
still in use in the homes OF many
country folk today.
The machines employed by these
two women are none Of your new

shuttles and spools are made by
hand; both warp and welt are spun
in their home, nor do they use the
fieeting dyes which may be purchased

or durability the herb dyed, home

Seated at their treasured looms tn
two aged women present a very pic

OF
FREE SUGAR
TALK
FORMER GOVERNOR CARTER OF
HAWAII WANTS NO DUTY ON
SUGAR, AND WILL CONTINUE TO
WORK TO THAT END.
REPRESENTS PRODUCER
AS WELL AS CONSUMER

Washington, d. c., June 10.-For
and others who have represented spe
cial interests in Washington contin
ued testimony today before the spe.
cial senate committee in search OF
| the lobby"
Former Governor Carter of Hawaii
was waiting to testify when the com
mittee assembled today. Mr.. Carter
| testified that he came to Washington
to give information about sugar"
that he had been sent by the cham
Der of commerce and was serving
without remuneration. Harry Irwin,
he said, was sent by the IIilo board
of trade.
"Mr. Ballou,' Carter testified, had
been sent by the Hawaiian Sugar
| Planters association. He said he had
prepared a brief. talked with senators
and tried to see the president. He
! testified that he maintained offices
with a stenographer and a clerk. Ad-
vertisements and bulletins were pre-
pared and submitted to a committee
in New York representing Hawaiian
sugar factories.
Carter testified that the domestic
sugar producers working in Washing
ton, took in everybody raising sugar
under the American flag" and had
spent something less than 100000
in their fight.
A "Mr. Mead" handled the money.
"If we had paid out 100000 we
would consider it well spent, if we
could have saved the $S2,O00,0O0 in
vested he said
I'VE propose to keep some one here
to continue the fight as long as the
right of free speech exists
AS for himself, he said, he had done
little more in Washington than pre-
pare a brief.
81 called at the White House and
tried to make an arrangement to see
the president. Itis secretary told me
the presidents mind was made up,
that it would be useless to see him,
and denied me the right to see him.
tnen asked 10 see MIN as an lnul-
vidual, and | will see him next week,
before | leave"
in your activities, have you en-
countered anybody working in behalf
of the consumer" asked a member of
the committee.
I'VE consider that we represent
the consumer as well as the producer"
Carter testified that Sydney c.
Ballou who had been frequently men
toned by senators as one of the anti
free sugar men who had called on
them, was paid salary of $4,000
year to stay in Washington and look
after the Hawaiian commercial inter
ests.
Senator Reed took the lead in ques-
tioning Carter.
Carter, in response to questions by
Senator Cummins, said he had acted
openly in all he had done regarding
the sugar schedule.
~ would not do anything secretly"
he said.
