COLLEGE FARMERS

 feature of the college commencements of this year is the number of college that are being graduated.
 A college farmer is who blows by means of trigonometry, plants his with multiplca- ton table and raises cattle with stethoscope and a book heredity
 People used laugh at college farmers but they had a right to time. Years ago college men often bought farms and tried raise crops by planting Greek and Latin But the present brand of rahrah agriculturst is different sort a chap He may impertinent clothes and d Happy hat with the brim turned down; and he may have three frat pins his vest and hair which stands up like the nap "wecome' mat But those who desire to laugh at him advised to do so before the crops gathered. Afterward the college farmer usually does the laughing himself.
 When the farmer boy goes college he does not spend much time exhumng dead languages. He may ramble little way back into history in a casual manner and learn to talk the American brand of armless French. But he spends most of his time in other studies. He learns to detect suicide in seed and to guess how many bushels of oats field will go the by tasting ple-not of the oats but of the He may have lost track of his ancestors but he learns to trace the percentage of the meek eyed Jersey back into the Dark Ages and tell by looking at pigs tongue when to put him to bed and tele- graph for the state heal department.

Hughes writes follows: You accuse me in the Tower of not knowing the difference between Jack Horner and the men of Gotham aluding to the story of the Wise Men of Gotham who sat in conference for a long time on the ground When it came time dis perse they couldn't move because none of them knew which were his legs They stayed there till came along and, being told of their plight, began to cudgel the tangle of legs whereupon each knew his and the party broke up In the line you quote from What Will People Say? alud ing to this legend.

Professional Advisers

This country is overrun with lot of people who giving advice through the public prints concerning matters concerning which, presumably, they are not qualified by experience to speak. We have men, whose lives have been failures telling us how success may be attained We have chldless women explaining mothers how children should be reared and have less ancient and unlovabe maiden ladies giving the fine points regarding love- and advising how should duct ourselves when attacked by that passion.
 Many of the experts of the last-named class publish replies to correspondents some of whom we suspect to be ginary the replies being intended wipe the perplexities of doubt-racked souls These replies as d general thing utterly wanting in good

 A really helpful expert would briefly have ad- vised this distracted young to marry neither the doctor, the lawyer, the preacher, for she was evidently not in love with any of them.

BULLETINS FROM THE SCENES
 IF MARIN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES

Beyond the bare statement, the wal bureau issued nothing on the subject It is not known definitely whether the fall refers to the town or the forts or both.
 The Times says it is one of those inexplicible events which will make the war the gamble that it is. That Namur should have fallen in two days will require a great deal of explana. tion The Times adds: "The news decidedly is bad" The Chronicle says:
 ''Namur is a fortress of great mili- tary strength which defenders coulo possibly hold for several months. It was probably not taken with rush, and more likely breach in the allies lines elsewhere made it necessary. The blunt fact remains that in the really first class battle the French troops occupying secluded position of singular strength were driven out in two days. This speaks volumes for the power of the German attack. ,

Mark Smith Speaks on Arid Lands and Canal Tolls
AUTHORITY DEMANDS DIARIES
 RECEIVE CLOSEST INSPECTION

According to w. G. Oliver, veter- mary surgeon of San Diego, greater care should be exercised in the pur- chase of dairy cows in order to pre- vent the spread of tuberculosis, not only among cattle, but among users of milk, especially children. There is campaign to stamp out the white plague from the human race,' salo Oliver, land his campaign should not overlook the cattle, which frequently spread the disease
 Oliver explained that in many in- stances and states all cattle used for dairy purposes must be submitted to regular tests for tuberculosis and sug- gests that such law ought to be passed in this state. While many dealers insist upon such test for their own protection, it is not oblig- atory, and frequently cattle infected with the disease are used for dairy purposes. In substantiation of his warning, Oliver displayed a vigorous editorial from the Twentieth Century Farmer. Excerpts from the editorial follow:
 Tuberculosis in cattle is a serious menance to public health and should be given more attention by both state and municipal authorities than has been given. It has been shown that cows having tuberculosis have trans mitted this disease through the milk to human beings. Cases have been Ecalled to our attention where the little babe was fed on milk from the family COW, which, on being tested. proved to have tuberculosis.
 Some cities and villages have ta- ken the step requiring all cows from which milk is used in a corporation to be tested.
 Many of our cattle owners have the erroneous opinion that all cows reacting under the test are valueless and the carcasses must be destroyed. The fact is that the flesh of a large per cent of cows reacting is all right for food and is passed by the govern men inspectors who examine at the packing houses.
 inspection of cattle made by a government inspector is regarded as reliable. It has happened, however, were stolen and the name of the in- spector forged Protect yourself by knowing that the certificate is genu- inc, especially if you are not sure of

the reliability of the man from whom you are buying.
 We regard it as highly important that all COWS from which milk is used be tested. If you own a COW and she reacts to the test have her sent to the packing house at once. If the disease is in the first stage the exam ination of the carcass will show it and you will be paid for your COW at the market value. You cannot afford to assume the risk of using the milk from any COW without first knowing that she is clear of the disease.
 Tuberculosis in cattle is something that vii be given much more atten- tion by our authorities and it should be given much more attention by a man owning family COW. Have her tested-it doesn't cost much. Do not buy a COW now unless you know that she is healthy, being proven so by test.''

 Everybody knows that the canal will not be self-supporting. A large deficit, amounting to many millions. will annually occur. Somebody has to pay this. It is fair to you, farmer. miner, artisan, mechanic, that the rich American shipowner can use your property without payng a cent for the use, while you are forced to pay for it's construction. for its up-keep. for it's defense, and the wages of the men who lift and lower his vessels through the locks; pay the men working for the benefit of the Ship Trust
 "No matter who advocated such a monstrous doctrine, no matter in what platform it was written, no man is wise enough, no man potent enough, no party great enough to redeem 1t from palpable wrong and fragrant in- justice.

 ''The free tolls will noS in my best judgment, aid the consumers in my state or in any other state simi- larly situated. I do not believe that free tolls will prove of much, if any, benefit, even to our seaport cities.
 ''The coastwise trade of the United States is monopoly, made so by our law. It has no competition. It is fully protected. It needs no contribution from the people The time for sub- sidies and special privileges is luckily passing. Let us hope 1t has passed for all time to come"
 The committee of the Commercial Club, consisting of J. H. Westover. George Michelsen and G. c. Dunn. had conference with Senator Smith last evening, in regard to getting an appropriation at the next session of Congress to complete the Yuma pro- ject and put water on the mesa. The senator said that he believed that 1t could be done and that he would do all in his power to accomplish it. He further said that he would return to Yuma n October and spend two or three days in going over the plans and estimates of the cost of proposed work and mapping out plans of pro- cedure.
 Senator Smith left today for Phoe- nix. He has only two weeks to de- vote to campaign, but if every place is of the same opinion as Yuma now seems to be, he may easily secure the nomination on September 8th.

Senator Mark Smith, of deer Olt
 Cochise," and otherwise of Washing ton, D. C., made, Yuma an officia call Tuesday and delivered a specia message to large audience of meI and women citizens, all hungry fol something tangible on the subject O water for the Yuma mesa
 The senator first paid cloquen tribute to President Wilson as the 'watchful-waiting" man at the White
 House, and later plunged into the subject of Panama Canal tolls in jus tification of his attitude in support o1 the presidents policy as compared with Senator Ashurst's more popula, policy for free tolls for American shipping.
 The senator was introduced by Hon J. H. Westover, candidate for county attorney, who was chairman of the meeting. Citizens of all political be liefs to the number of 800, were crowded about the platform at the Main street school, and several had seats on the platform.
 Senator Smith stated that he was in a position to render good service to the people of Yuma county. That he was the chairman or the commit tee in the senate on the irrigation and reclamation of arid lands that this committee would have in hand the apportionment of the reclamation money to the various projects. That he believed that he would be able to secure an appropriation of sufficient money at the next session of Con gross to complete the project and put water on a large part of the mesa. He said that no new man coudl ex- pect to get the committee assign ments which he now held and that it would be years before new man could expect to get in position to serve the people of Arizona as he could now serve them.
 Speaking of the matter of free tolls for American shipping, of which we have heard so much, the senator said:
 'I do not believe that the Hay Paunceforte treaty involved in any way our coastwise trade. In this judgment I find myself opposed to many of the ablest minds and purest patriots in this country. There Is a divergence of opinion in England on the question, in Germany and in France, and probably all other inter ested nations. The President believes that the term all nations used in the treaty applies to the ships engaged in the coastwise trade of the United States. So, believing, he has had the courage to appeal to us to keep sacred our national promise and pre- serve our national honor from stain, Having this conviction, and seeing his duty under it-knowing the clamor it would cause and the false motive which would be assigned-he never theless, with high purpose and su- preme courage. advised us to do what he believed was our great duty to do, and what he would have done if he had the power For this HE IS DE- AS BEING A TOOL OF ENGLAND-UN-AMERICAN IN HIS those having some pur- pose to injure him or the party of which he is the head.
