POPE MUST TAKE
CARE OF HIMSELF
HIS PHYSICIAN SAYS HIS REcoV.
EY DEPENDS UPON HIS
oeEYINe ORDERS

Rome, April 15.-The pope's condi-
ton practically appeared to be un-
changed today. The morning bulletin
issued by the papal physicians, Ettore
and Marchiafava and Andrea Amici,
was as follows:
The Holy Father was again with
ont fever this morning.. His temperar
ture is 81. The cough has diminished
and expectoration has become easy
and copious. The pontiffs general
condition has always been satisfac-
tory"
Professor Marchiafava. the pope's
physician, gave out the following
statement today:
"The illness of the pope is now
taking its normal course. The patient
was much better during the forenoon
after his nights rest. He had a
slight setback late yesterday after
noon, when his temperature rose
slightly.
IF it is possible to induce Pope Plus
to follow the orders ofhis medical adj
visors, the amelioration in his condi-
ton will bring with it a revival of
strength. In other words the recovery
Of the pope is chiefly in his own
hands.

PASS PROPOSED ANTI
ALIEN LAW.


Toxic, April 15.-Japanese official
circles are now inclined to the belief
that nothing they can do viii have
any effect in averting the proposed
land ownership legislation Of Cali
fornia. AS soon as the bill has been
passed. however, application win be
made to the federal government Of
the United States for an extension Of

otherwise the ball, it is claimed win
be a discrimination against Japan.
Public meetings OF protest and
representations to the American en-
bassy here have been innumerable,
but the feeling of heplessness is pro
nounced.
The newspapers call attention to
the "humiliating insult to a nation,
which, though high-spirited and proud
has gone out Of its way to maintain
the most friendly relations with the
United States
American residents in Toxic and
Yokohama, who are memDers of the
peace society, held d joni meaT
today with the japanese members, at
which a resolution was passed strone-
ly urging the Californians not to pass
the land ownership bill
The resolution said that the passage
Of the California land bill would very
greatly damage American prestige
for fair play and begged the Cali
fornia legislators to pause and inves-
tigate. 1t also expressed the belief
that the passage Of the bill would
work injustice to the Japanese and
be Injurious to American commerce.
besides creating a painful situation
for American residents in Japan, who
always have been recipients Of cour-
tesy and protection.

nestle wool, both old and new, is re

a sale Of washed delaine at 30c.
Sales of fine staple Montana at 20
cents are also reported, and few

first lot. and to date the receipts
from his sales are in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000.
The seed Ia selling at $500 per

Shively estimates that when the

ed. and this work is being rapidly
done, that the returns to the farm
for this product alone will be in
the neighborhood of $4,000. or
that he will have over 1000 bushels
of this valuable seed.
The Zirkle contract only calls for
225 bushels and Mr.. Shively is of
the opinion that he will receive a
far better price for the remainder
of his crop. Buyers from all over
the country are writing him in re-
gard to this seed and there seems
to be an unusually heavy demand
this season.
This crop of over 1000 bushels
