In the fashion department OF the June
Woman's Home Companion appears an
article cntitle "Clothes for the Tiny Girl
and Boy" in the course Of which the
author writes in part, az follows, about
the changes in babies clothes within the
past fifty years:
Times have changed since the days
when tine regulation baby dress was the
Mother Hubbard model, gathered straight
widths ON square or round yoke. The
styles for the little children Of to-day
change with each succeeding season with
az much versatility az for the grown ups.
Back in the early sixties, babies wore
clothes almost countcrparts of their par
ents'. The infants lrock was cut panel
front with insets OF lace putting or en-
broiderY. The tiny shoulders, neck and
arms were often left bare, the shoulder
Straps with small puff sleeves falling of
the shoulders. Quantities of petticoats
suggested the hoop skirts then in vogue.
"That the first consideration for the
baby should be his comfort we all agree,
50 the simply made garments are the most
successful. The materials should be as
fine as can be afforded"

How tho New Currency Bill Affects
tho Farmer

In the current issue oi Farm and Fire
side, the national farm paper published
ut springfield, Ohio. United States Scna-
tor Robert l.. Owen of Oklahoma. tells
as follows, how the new currency hill
benefits the farmer:
Under the American banking system
where we have had twenty five thousand
independent banks, each holding its own
resources, the banks have been compelled
to rely severally upon their own cash
resources, aud to keep their commercial
bills rs liquid as possible, of short maturi-
ties, easily convertible into cash. For
this reason the bankers have not been
able, consistent with such policy, to
extend sufficiently or at low enough
interest rates the class of accommodations
to farmers which the farmers chiefly
nccd-such as loans for fertilizer which
would bc used in the spring aud could
not be paid for until the crop was gather
cd in the fall such as for farm machinery,
and such us tor the building of silos. or
improvements on the farm which would
increase its productive power, although
such loans could be wisely made. and
would be safe as far as security OF pay
ment il concerned
But under the new banking and
currency system, which will provide an
open large discount market for COM
mercial bills, which the banks have not
heretofore enjoyed except in hazardous,
uncertain fashion, there will be open also
for the banks much larger percentage
of investment loans of the character above
described.
THE farm-mortagagc provision in the
currency bill, allowing mortagagcs to be
made on tlve-ycar terms, ought TO open
M iarm-mortagage market which will
furnish the farmers considerable
amount of money for permanent farm
improvements, as well as the investment
in silos, in farm machinery, or in fcrtil-
izers, etc "

VOLCANO NOT FEARED
Old Mount in California Emits Fire
and Rocks.

Redding. CAL, June 2.--Mount Las
sen, peak in the Sierra Nevadas be.
tween Plumas and Shasta counties,
CAL. is In eruption. A new crater has
opened in the side OF the mountain
with literal assures running in all di.
rections. Ashes cover the ground for
three miles. Large boulders have been
elected from the crater. A cloud OF
smoke and steam hangs over the
mountain.
Word of the eruption was conveyed
to this city in an official report from
forest rangers. No great damage is
possible as the country in the vicinity
OF the ancient volcano is sparsely
settled. Mount Lassen is 10,447 feet
high and of volcanic origin. There is
evidence that IT was in eruption at a
comparatively recent period, although
antedating the entry OF the white man
into California.

U. s. INSISTS ON .
REBELS JOINING
Mediation Conference Is Dead
locked Over Proposition
CARRANzA AGENT EXPLAINS
Since Washington Administration In.
duced constitutionallst Leader to
Ask For Admission Il Is Duty Bound
to Back Up Demand Now--Medl-
ators Think IL VIII Hurt Their Dig.
nifty to Allow Carranxa to Enter.

Washington, June 2.--That the
mediation conference at Niagara
Falls, Ont. reached an acute stage is
disclosed in a statement given out by
Carranzas spokesman In Washington,
Luis Cabarrea.
This is the first definite information
that a serious difference OF opinion
exists between the mediators and the
United States concerning the partici.
patton OF General Carranza In the pro-
ceedings. Cabarrea's statement in
part follows:
should the Constitutionalists par
ticipate in the Niagara Falls confer
ences? Such question, according TO
the pross. is now under consideration
ut Niagara Falls.
The mediators, according to inter.
national authorities. must aid and as
sist with his knowledge and his ad.
vice, but his opinions are no more
than mere opinions and It is for the
interested parties to decide freely tho
points brought into discussion.
ITO England and Germany Huerta
is the representative of Mexico and
should conflict arise between Eng.
land aud Mexico no one could Ques-
tion that England should deal with
Huerta.
But there is conflict between
Mexico and the United States. Mexico
has no government recognized by the
United States because tho man who
calls himself president has not been
recognized by Washington, nor by
Argentina, nor by Brazil, nor by Chile.
How could the A. B. G. countries de.
eide now that Huerta is the legal rep.
resentative OF Mexico?
For whom 1t is to decide with whom
tho United States is to deal? IL is for
the United States most assuredly and
for them only.
For the purpose OF settling tho
present international conflict only the
United States can decide IL they are
satisfied In dealing with Huerta or
IL they want both factions to be rep
resented in order TO insure the sue.
cess of the mediation"
The situation that has arisen over
the admission of Carranza to tho
Niagara Falls conferences is regarded
here as making crisis in the media
tion proceedings. Having persuaded
CarranEa to make this effort to enter
the conferences the United States is
now bound to stand firmly behind his
position and II the mediators refuse
to yield the success of the entire pro
gram is likely to be jeopardized.
Officials in Washington realize that
there can be no real success from the
Niagara Falls conferences unless Car.
rama Is willing to accept the findings.

May Dynamite Emor.ss.

Rimouski, Que, June 2-The spot
where the Empress of Ireland went
down Is marked at night by an illum-
mated ouoy. Launches remain near
the flare all night while their crows
wait for bodies to rise to the surface.
The work of recovering bodies is very
slow.
In the opinion of Commander
Tweedle OF the British cruiser Essex
1t Will be impossible to salvage the
liner.
Commander Tweedle believes that
1t will be necessary to send divers into
the hull, place charges OF dynamite
and blow the ship to pieces in order
to recover bodies and enable divers
to bring up the 100000 in silver
bullion that was part OF the liners
cargo, The bodies of hundreds are
locked within the hull, It is almost
certain. The cruiser has offered the
services OF her divers.

DEPRESSION NOT GENERAL
So Says Presideft WiIson-RaiIroa d
Offices Worst Affected.

Washington, June President VIII
son again expressed his conviction
that any present unsatisfactory con
dition in business was not general and
was less felt in the United States than
any other part Of the world.
In reply to Inquiries concerning the
business situation as discussed in his
statement last week to representa-
tives of the Illinois Manufacturers as.
sociation and other similar organiza-
tions, the president said II was his
impression that any unsatisfactory
condition centered very largely about
the railway Offices and that was re-
fected N the steel industry and in
other industries closely allied which
depended especially upon railway de.
velopment for prosperity.
