SPOKANE, Wash. July 24.-United
States District Judge Rudkin, in an
opinion filed today. held the Washing
ton state law levying a tax of $4,000
on trading stamps companies uncon-

who employ that system are entitled
to the protection Of the constitution

Columbia August CT, and following
that, in the various counties, the
meeting will, among other subjects,
consider this all important one of
what to do with the product after it
is produced at the cost of monhs of
toll and anxiety. The result of the
conference will be to draw market
and farm closer together.
The conference has been fortunate
in securing the services of such men
as E. w. Dabbs, president of the
Farmers Union; w. w. Long, of the
State Farm Demonstration Work;
B. B. Hare, of the Office of Rural

Progressive Farmer, and several
farmers of this state. These experts
will consider marketing, under such
topics as the following: Typical Ex-
amples of Loss to Farmers on Ac-
count of Poor Marketing, Creating a
Home Market for Home Products,
Cooperative Marketing in North
Carolina, and Marketing the Cotton
Crop. The discussion will be open to
all farmers and to any others inter-
ested.
This is but part of the program.
Other broad topics to be taken up in
detail are: Cooperation for Rural
Development; The Part of the
Church in Rural Development; Per-

A CONFERENCE OF PREACHERS
At the Conference for The Common
Good.

A special feature of the Confer
ence for the Common Good" which
will be held in Columbia, August 9Th
and 7th, will be Conference of
Preachers to discuss Rural Problems
as they present themselves to the
church.
The constant flow of so many peo,
pie out of the country and other al.
lied causes have multiplied the diff
culties of the pastor in rural dis
tricts, and is a matter now receiv-
ing general attention. 1t will be a
unique experience to have the minis
ters of the different denominations
to come together for a serious study
of this condition. The question is
of supreme Importance, and every
minister and church member should
be alive to it's seriousness, and will
ing to lend his best efforts along def
mite lines, looking to remedies. An
effort will be made to ascertain what
the real situation is as a starting
point for the discussion. No theor-
lists have been appointed to read
long papers and each minister in at
tendance is expected to bring the re-
suits of his study for the benefit of
the Conference. Rev. E. o. Watson,
D. d., who has had wide experience
and who is now giving his energy to
the uplift of rural community life,
has been requested to act as chair
man. The cooperation of every pas
tor of every denomination is earnest
ly solicited. The congregation can
render definite assistance by max
ing it possible for the pastor to at
tend. The railroads have granted
special rates for the occasion.

Marketing and the Conference.

After the crop is made what is to
be done with it? Marketing is not
so simple as it may seem; first the
best prices cannot be had with hap
hazard unloading on the market. The
field must be prepared by co-opera-
tion, and low rates must be secured
in this way before the farmer with
diversified crops can meet competi-
tion or the one-crop farmer get a
fair return. To dump canteloupes,
for example, upon an overloaded
market is about as sensible as shoot
ing them at the moon with smokeless
powder, for powder is cheaper than
freight bills. Some years ago farm
ers plowed acres of this melon under
because the price was too low to pay
to ship to market. Disposing of the
product clearly needs as much
thought as producing it.
Now, if farmers and consumers
could get nearer together, both would
undoubtedly be benefited. While
this ideal situation will not be at

Coster Xmas Of London.

There are other kings besides George
" in London. For instance, there are
three monarchs Of the coster kingdom,
three pearly kings. Their names and
kingdoms are as follows:
King Foyle Of Somers Town.
King Tabrum of Hoxton.
King Marshall of Stepney.
Asked for his postal address, King
Foyle looked mildly surprised. "Huh!'
he at length calculated. "Just King
Of the Pearlies, Somers Town." The
monarch added that for three genera
tons his line had held regal sway.
King Marshall can boast only a sin
gle years reign. But what he lacks in
this respect he makes up in buttons,
and, whereas King Tabrum wears 28.-
600 and King Foyle $4,000, his coat is
decked with no fewer than 6O,OOO.-

The most important change pre-

of parcel rates. One hundred pound
rates for short distances either have
been left unchanged or slightly re-
duced; for longer distances they have
been lowered; for fifty pounds or less
all rates practically have been re-

the same.

far. Sapphires responded best to the

were had with amethysts and garnets

class. BY putting them in small box

INGENIOUS DIVING DEVICE.
1t Successful 1t May Eliminate Acct
dents and Loss of Life.

" successful II May Eliminate Acct
dents and Loss Of Life.
Hose for conducting air from the sur
face to the diver under the water has
heretofore been considered indispen-
sable An elaborate outfit of pumps
operated either on land or in boats
was necessary to force fresh air con-
t1nuously through a great length Of
hose to the man below the surface.
Now the inventive brain of German
has conceived and put into successful
operation an ingenious device which
will probably do away with the old
apparatus for diving.
By this method the diver carries on
his back two steel bottles containing
highly compressed oxygen. Another
cylinder contains chemicals for alb
sorbing the carbonic acid gas exhaled
from the lungs. A system Of piping
carries all the impure air breathed out
in chamber containing the absorbing
chemical. In this compartment the
deadly carbonic acid gas is entirely
eliminated. A small amount Of oxy-
gen, just enough to renew the air, is
added to the changed and regenerat-
ed exhalations and passed on to a CON-
partment in the helmet. where it can
be inhaled through the nose or mouth
By this system the vitiated air is con-
tinually being made over into new.
It is thought this device will do
away with the accidents and some
times loss Of life which have occasion
ally happened through defects in the
diving hose or pumping apparatus so
long in use. But, while the diver may
carry his atmosphere as one does his
wardrobe along with him, he cannot
yet quite disconnect himself from the
outer world, as the signal line is still
necessary for means of communica-
tion.-Harper's Weekly.
