HALF OF COUNTRY NOW DRY.
West Virginia Joins Prohibition Col
umn Today, Making Nine Totally
Dry States Besides Wide
No-LIcense Area.

Charleston, w. Va, june 30.-State-
wide prohibition of the liquor business
in West Virginia becomes effective
Tuesday midnight. 1t brings the total
number of states in the prohibition
column up to nine.
With West Virginia added, the list
will be. Georgia, Kansas, Mains, Mis-
sissippi, North Carolina, North Dako-
ia, Oklahoma, Tennessee, West Vir-
giniaa. These nine state of total pro-
hibition territory, plus the local, no
license area, make up 2,1S2,726 square
miles in which 46,O29,75O persons, or
nearly fifty per cent of the country's
population live, according to the latest
figures of the prohibition leaders.
The $4,000 majority with which the
people of West Virginia accepted the
dry proposition was relatively the
largest ever given by any state. L
was approximately two to one for state
wide suppression of the liquor busi
ness. 1t was a surprise even to the
prohibition forces, who were indebted
largely to the determined stand wnicr
many of the large employers took IN
favor of their cause. The state has
population of 1,221,119 by the census
of 1910.

Watch Your opaIs.

The reason why opals are so often
lost from their settings is that they
expand with heat more than other pre-
cious stones, and consequently force
open the gold which holds them In

When the leader Of coyote pack
was killed recently in Sligo, Colo, it
was found to be a shepherd collie dog
with a brass collar about its neck.
This explained partly the boldness of

Can Cross Atlantic

Washington, March S.-The trans
Atlantic aero flights with present day
flying machines are a possibility of
the near future in the opinion of Rr.
Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of
the telephone, who spoke last night
before the Federal Schoolmens' club.
A system of gears for increasing the
speed of propellers in the decreased
resistance of higher attitudes, he said,
probably would solve the problems.
Machines of 50-horsepower speed un-
der the ordinary conditions, he said,
at proper altitude, travelled at 100
miles an hour.
Il think" he added, 1--WE may safely
say we will see air ships crossing the
Atlantic at height of two miles
above the earth, driven by warm, com.
Portable aeronauts.
"The question of sufficient oxygen
for the driver is solved by the tre-
mendous speed itself, for the air strik-
ing the face would be condensed. AS
for the cold at such a height the ex-
haust of the machine furnishes a
source of heat easily applicable to
keep the aviator warm"

To Improve Farm Homes

Manhattan, March S.-A campaign
to enlist 10000 Kansas boys and girls
in agricultural and homemaking con-
tests this year was 1naugurated by
the Kansas State Agricultural college
today with the appointment of Miss
Emma Skinner as special organizer
to arrange the contests.
Miss Skinner will visit towns
throughout the state urging boys and
girls to take part in the growing of
vegetable and flower gardens and in
village and rural community improve
ment contests.
She also will assist in organizing
contests in baking, canning and sew
ing. The primary object of the move
ment is to improve conditions on the
farm and to make rural life more
satisfying and attractive.
1t is held by the movement promo
ters that the best way to stop the
trend toward the city is to interest
the young in rural pursuits.

Rewarded With Kisses

New York, March 5.-Expressicns
of gratitude in the form of kisses
were showered on w. II. Egan, sta.
tion master of the Pennsylvania rail-
road station here last night by the
twenty-seven men and women men,
bers of an emigrant band because he
had been instrumental in restoring to
them flour sack which contained
$4,000 In gold and bills.
The party, en- route from Montana
to Poland, dined at the station and
then started for the pier to board the
steamship Olympic. In her haste the
wife OF the leader of the band to
whom her fellow travellers had en-
trusted their money, left the bag in a
waiting room where it was found by
an attendant and turned over to Mr..
Egan.

Import Eggs From China

Washington, March 6.-Hundreds of
thousands of eggs are being sent from
China to the United States since the
enactment of the new tariff law, and
1t is expected that now this market is
opened this business will steadily in.
crease. The American consul at
Shanghai reports that extensive pre-
parations are being made to enter this
market with eggs and recent impor.
tations have been so large as to raise
the price of eggs in the celestial
kingdom.
Chinese eggs are sold by the pound
and not by the dozen, and are on an
average of one-third larger than the
United States product. Some idea of
RESPONSIBILITIES of this business may
be gained from the fact that the total
importation Of eggs from China in
1913 was valued at $31, ,451, $4,000 of
this amount coming in December.
During the last half of January eggs
to the value of $4,000 were sent to
Vancouver and Seattle for Pacific
coast ports

Bio Loan for Reclamation Fund

Washington. March Tho senate
irrigation committee considered the
Rorah bill authorizing the loan of a
hundred million dollars to the recla.
nation fund, .as recommended by Sec.
retary Lane, but after some discus
sion concluded it would be unwise to
press it upon the bill reported to both
the senate and the house today, grant
ing to settlers an extension of time
in which to pay for water.
1t was agreed to urge prompt action
on the extension bill, which gives 20
years in which to make payments, and
the committee seemed satisfied this
extension can be granted. Friends of
both measures believe there would
be better chance of getting the loan
if the extension bill is first disposed
Of Senator Borah agreed to this pro-
gram provided the committee will
press for early action on the loan bill,
and he was assured this would be
done, and also was assured a hundred
million.dollar bill would be reported
and pushed vigorously when the other
measure becomes law.

Shipped Cartridges as Nails

New York, March 7.-Sending 3,00O,-
900 cartridges to the revolutionists in
northern Mexico cost George Norden-
holt, local ammunition lealer,, ST.
900. Not because the cartridges were
contraband but because they were bill
ed as nails. Nordenholt pleaded gull
ty today in federal court to violating
the interstate commerce laws and paid
his fine.
BY shipping the cartridges in 400
kegs covered with top layer of nails
and describing them as nails, Nord.
enholt saved $500 in freight charges.
The shipment probably would have
reached its destination without inter-
ruption had not one of the kegs brok-
en- open in the freight station at Ma
co, Ariz., just as the consignment was
to pass into the hands of Carranza,
the Mexican constitutionalist leader.

balanced by an advance in the price
of eggs to level never before reach

SHOULD even take SO worth of prop
erty by force or fine," a letter signed

investigation Being Made Into Manner
Of Return Of the Body
Washington, March 9.-Two depart.
ments of the United States govern
ment are engaged in seeking informa.
tion as to circumstances under which
the body of Clemente Vergara, an
American horse dealer, supposed to
have been killed by Mexican federal
soldiers near Hidlago, Mex, was found
early Sunday On the American side of
the Rio Grande.
A telegram to the state department
today from American Consul Garret
at Nuevo Laredo, Mex, informed the
department that the body had been
found, and that detsils would be, re-
ported by mail. No mention was made
or reports that Texas rangers crossed
the border Saturday night and brought
the body back. reporting their action
to Governor ColQuitt. The slow pro.
cess did not satisfy Secretary Bryan,
who promptly wired to consul to make
his report by telegraph.
Meanwhile the war department has
become interested ana Secretary Gar
rison called upon Gnral Bliss at Ell
Paso for information. This brought
the following reply by wire:
Investigation Vergara affair being
made. Thus far nothing known here
except as published in press"
Reasonably assured that neither the
United States nor Texas officials had
participated in any action that might
be regarded as in violation of Next
can sovereignty, the state department
is now confronted with the necessity
of making fresh representations to
General Huerta in the effort to secure
the punishment of the persons guilty
of Vergara's killing.
The discovery of the body on the
banks of the Rio Grande bearing half
a dozen fatal wounds now furnishes
tangible evidence for the future prose-
cution Of the case. Today Mr.. Bryan
asked John Bassett Moore, formerly
consuellor of the state department to
visit his Office for consultation in the
case and it is inferred that his steps
will be in accordance with Mr.. Moore's
suggestions.

Washington News Notes

Washington, March 7.-Senator T.
]. Walsh has been advised by the COM
missioner of Indian affairs that funds
have been sent to Montana to care for
the Rocky Boy band of Indians until
some permanent arrangement can be
made for locating them on a reserva-
tion where they can be at least in part
self.supporting.
Senator Walsh has introduced bill
to amend the act opening to etnry
lands on the Fort Peck Indian reser-
walton so as to permit the immediate
allotment of 100 acres to each living
Indian child on the reservation. The
agreement with the Indians under
which the reservation lands were
opened to sale, contained that provi-
sion but it was omitted from the act
of congress ratifying the agreement,
the Indians thus being deprived of
their just rights in that particular.
Western representatives appeared
before the house appropriations COM
mittee today and urged that appro-
priations be made in the sundry civil
bill for the maintenance of western
assay officers for the coming fiscal
year. Representative Stout spoke for
the Helena assay Office and pleas for
Offices in their respective states were
made by Representatives Johnson of
Utah, French of Idaho and Humphrey
of Washington. The annual fight to
have the Offices abolished is being

preparation committee.
Congressman Tom Stout of Montana
believes that the woman suffrage
cause will be successful in that state,
Congressman Stout speaks in very
high terms of the women who are
handling suffrage, saying that they
have been able to bring about a vote
on the subject by the able manner in
which they presented their claims. Mr..
Stout was a member of the state SEN
ate of Montana, and introduced the
resolution providing that the amend
ment permitting women to vote should
be submitted to the people.
