SCOTLAND YARD GUARDS
KING AND QUEEN.
(UNIrED PRESS LEASED wrRE.l

Windsor, Eng, June 21.-Under the
watchful scrutiny of several hundred
Scotland Yarders, 5000 persons today
attended the brilliant garden party at
Windsor arranged by King George and
Queen Mary as climax to the festivi-
ties of Ascot week. Reports FOR sew.
eral days past that the suffragettes
would attempt a demonstration were
the occasions of extraordinary precau.
tiOns to prevent the admission of any
unauthorized persons. All were re-.
quired to present their invitations
cards at the big gate but in fear that
some tickets might be transferred or
even forged, detectives shadowed every
one whose identity was not known to
the gate officials and concerning whom
there was the very slightest reason for
suspicion. In addition to their maiesties
and members of the cabinet were at all
times practically surrounded bS small
squads of Scotland Yard officers in
the guise of guests, while an unusually
large force of uniformed police were
on hand about the grounds. The
guests, who included almost the entire
membership of parliament, the diplO.
matte corps and the leaders of Euro.
pean society, were brought from Lon.
don by special train. The new Demo.
cratic American Ambassador Walter II.
Page, in orthodox silk hat and "Prince
Albert" with most of the embassy
staff, enjoyed his first taste of royal
hospitality. Queen Mary presided over
the tea-urn in the royal tent and DR..
Page was one of the few who took
their tea from her hands. The Prince
of Wales and a few of his Oxford

PROTECTION FOR LAND
OWNERS IS ASSURED

That old adage, "Don t buy a pig in
poke" contains the substance of
very good advice for the man who con.
templates going back to the land.
"Back to the land" is a fair cry,
but it must be remembered that there
is different kinds Of lands, some good,
some nearly good and some all bad.
Then aside from land quality, climate
rainfall or irrigation, locality and prox-
unity to transportation must be taken
into serious consideration.
City men, attracted by the advantag,
es of present day farming methods or
country gentlemen who want additional
land or complete change of surround.
ings, must closely analyze the crop pos.
sibilities and other opportunities that
are inseparable from productive agri.
culture.
Hardly any one would be deliberate
ly careless when the time comes to pay
down real money, but lack of expert.
ence or actual knowledge concerning
farm or other land leads many men into
that turn out disastrously.

VILLAGE AND COUNTRY
MUST UNITE TO DEVELOP.

The Louisville COurier.JOurnal, com
menting on community development,
recently said:
1t is simply an effort to do away
with the imaginary line known as the
corporate limits of town, and to re-
move the artificial barriers between
the city and the country.
Here is the comment of the Atlanta
Journal on the plan
SO long as rural and urban interests
are considered in any wise antagonls-
tic or even Independent, neither Of
them can develop as it should. The
truth is the town and the district about
it are vitally interdependent and each
of them will progress to the extent
that they realize and work together
for their common welfare.
The Atlanta chamber of comemrce
has shown the proper spirit BY devel,
opng large measure of energy to the
encouragement of rural interests It
has done a vast deal for the promotion
of the boys corn club movement, for
the campaign against the boil weevil
and other crop pests and for the gen
eral enrichment of rural life rot only
in Fulton and adjoining counties but
also throughout the state.
It we'll be well for the boards of
trade or chambers Of commerce to re.
member that one of the surest means
toward developing their own commu.
nifty is to aid in the development of
the surrounding country and to enlist
the cooperation of farmers as well as
business men.

WILL PUT CAPITOL
IN SANITARY CONDITION
Also Coat Of Paint Will Be Put on and
It win Be Much Improved
in Every Way.

After being under the painters
brush but twice in a period of over 35
years, the state house will for the third
time in its history receive coat of
paint. The building was erected in the
early seventies, receiving a coat of
paint at the cleaning which came in
1905.
Through the efforts of Secretary of
State Olcott, the building will not only
be painted but will be made more
modern and above all be put in sani-
tary condition. Secretary Olcott went
before the Legislature at the last ses-
sion and asked for an appropriation of
$6l,50O to go ahead with the work. The
legislature appropriated $4,000 and
plans are being formulated for an i'm
mediate beginning of the work.
According to Secretary of State o.
colt the work will be done by the day
instead of by contract which will as
sure the state of good job. After
looking over a great many color
schemes it was decided that the most
serivceable and prettiest color to paint
the building was of cream yellow with
a rough finish. The cost of the work
will amount to about $500.
Among the other institutions that
are to be painted this year are the
training school, the dOrmitory of the
feeble minded school and the mute
school. The penitentiary was painted
some little time ago, while the asylum
is being renovated by the inmates Of
the penitentiary.

SAVING ELK HERD FROM

The long promised distribution of elk
from Jackson 8 Hole and Yellowstone
National Park has begun. Thousands

and are being shipped by the carload
to states that have sent in requests for
them.
A carload of 80 elk, rounded up in

ped from Gardiner, Mont. the northern
gateway to the Yellowstone, arrived in
Denver the other day on their way to
Arizona. These elk will be turned out
upon their new range in Arizona. They
will be protected from hunters, under
state laws, and will be given oppOrtuni,
ty to increase.
Herds Of elk have recently been sent
to Pennsylvania, West Virginia and
California. Many other states have
put in applications, and will be provid-
ed with shipments as fast as the animals
can be rounded up. 1t was prophesied
that, when this plan was adopted, the
elk would not stand shipment, but the
percentage of loss has been small. Only
one Of the Arizona consignment died en-
route. 1t is necessary to give the elk
rest every day. They are unlOaded from
the cars and put into convenient cor.
rails, and, after a few hours rest, pro.
ceed on their journey. In this way the
loss is comparatively small.
The government was forced to adopt
this plan to prevent the elk in the West
from going the way of the buffalo to
extinction. Most of the elk in the
Rocky Mounains had ranged north until
they reached the Jackson s Hole region
south of Yellowstone park. Here they
congregated in vast herds,

Farmers of Township in Allegheny
Mountains Will Give Control of
Land Through Corporation.
EACH FARMER WILL BE
STOCKHOLDERS IN IT.
Members Hope to Set Their Own
Prices for Green Goods and Dairy
Products This Year.


Johnstown, Pa, June 2l.-Satisfied
that by the use of cooperative meth.
eds the profits of their farms could be
greatly increased, farmers of Adams
township, one of the most picturesque
agricultural sections in the Allegheny
mountains, today are working cut the
details pursuant to forming a corpora
tion which will control practically ev-
cry acre of land in that section
1t was while a number of the husky
mountaineers were discussing current
topics in the village grocery store at
Salix, one evening not long ago, that
the proposition was first suggested.
That the cooperative system Lad been
a money-maker in other states was
pointed out. Fruit growers of the Pa.
cific states have a "trust, cotton
growers have an organization in the
South and in the New England and
Middle Atlantic states the Itwerful
organizations of the poultry dealers
and truck gardeners have flourished
TOR many years, Those facts were the
principal topics of discussion in the
village store for weeks. Other farm.
ers were approached and the plan ex-
planned to them. 1t was an immediate
hit, " and now it is learned taat with
in short time steps will be taken to
effect a permanent organization.
The plan of the Salix farmers is to
form a corporation in which all the
farms in this section will be worked
on the cooperative plan. Every farm.
er will be a stockholder in the COM
pany. He will oversee the work on his
own farm, care for his own crops, and
when the harvest season has arrived
his farm will be visited by directors
or agents of the association, who later
Wi. take charge of the produce and its
sale. The farmer will get his Il are of
the profits when the dividend is de-
clared.
The association will elect board of
directors. It is said that practically
every prominent farmer in that section
will become a stockhOlder in the new
part of Pennsylvania than are paid
in New York City. The land is fairly
fertile in the valleys, but there is al.
ways a shortage of produce, and the
best of prices are received for garden
truck, butter and eggs. Owing to the
association.
Higher prices for butter, eggs and
other farm produce are paid in this
limited acreage of tillable soil, and the
rapidly increasing population, prices
are expected to go even higher.
This year, due in great measure
to the frosts, there promises to be an
even more serious shortage, and it is
expected that prices will again soar
before the summer is many weeks old
er.
The farmers of Adams township are
agreed that the sooner the association
is formed and put into operation, the
better it will be for them. They hope
to be able to set their own prices fOt

year.
