BENEFICIAL ON SANDY SOILS
When Used Properly, the Roller Is One of the Most Important of
 All TilIage Implements.
fRv E. s sEINERsA


 The capillary water that rises from the subsurface reaches the highest mark in soils that are fine grained and consequently we find that in the dry part of the summer when plants are dependent upon capillarity for their water supply, coarse grained sands become very dry. If these soils could be pressed together so that the air space between the separate srains would become smaller the capillary water would rise hieher. Here the roller may be used to advantage. It should follow the seeding of small grain and especially clover, to get the soil in closer contact with the seed as well as to supply moisture from below.

off their hats to the son OF old
Croatia. A good many of these have
in the course OF the centuries found
their way into Bosnia Most OF them
are adherents of the Catholic faith
and all of them are loyal to the
monarchy.
The present Governor, Gen. Sar-
kotic, is a Croat nobleman and he
makes no secret of his intentions to
reward loyalty by placing men OF his
own blood in positions of honor and
trust. The tragedy OF Sarajevo has
consequently had an important bear
ing upon the status of the Bosnian
Croats as well as upon that OF the
Moslems. and as the two elements are
rather friendly to each other and both
have a pronounced dislike for the
Serbs the latter will be forced to re-
main in the background for several
generations to come.
I'VE will treat them justly said
the Governor. but in times past some
unwise one among them mistook Our
Justice and kindness for weakness
No greater misfortune could have
o~vertaken them than to have become
Servian subjects, but they were foolish
enough to give ear to the Belgrade
plotters and must now pay the
penalty.
$50 long as I am Governor Of Bos-
mia so long win the loyal Moslem and
Croatian elements receive hat recog-
milton to which they are justly en-
titled. We have here a province big
enough to be some day a great nation
n rich enough to support ten times
its present population. We have gone
to war to put n stop to outside intrigue
and to end all meddling with our do
nestle affairs.
THE different nationalities Of the
monarchy enjoy to-day the fullest
civil and religious liberty. They will
continue to enjoy these when this war
comes to a close and there will be
more mutual understanding, more re-
spect and more unity.
las a Croat l myself am glad to
think that a new day has dawned for
my own brave people and that their
heroism and fidelity in this crisis have
earned for them the admiration and
the good will Of all the other n%ationali-
ties that go to make up this
monarchy"
AS l write these concluding lines !
a look from my window and see a
company OF Bosnian soldiers standing
at attention as a Beg oficer passes
slowly down the line. They are a fine
looking body OF men. n the green
flag at the end Of the line is mildly
suggestive of another fighting race. l
have confidence as | gaze that these
sturdy looking chaps will take care
Of Bosnia's liberties and will safe
guard the rights Of children yet un-
born.
l believe too hat this tragedy OF
Sarajevo will teach Europe some
valuable lessons. that there will be less
intrigue, less diplomatic lying, Chi
canery and hypocrisy, than there has
been during the past few years. And
l am glad to find Sarajevo a fitting
stage for the bloody drama which has
had such far reaching and terrible
effects. Nature and man have con-
spired to make il beautiful and the
fates have forever given It a mrs,
place in the red story of the worlds

As he spoke I fanciel myself listen

western American town. where roseate
visions Of future growth and progress
are as common as ice cream parlors In
the good old summer time. 1t was
comforting to find a quaintly CARRIED
Moslem who could look forward so
hopefully to the future Of his people
and who had all the fervor Of a real

demeanor Of the Turk.
The Servian element in Bosnia have
to-day good reason to regret the fool
ish and criminal acts of the W. mis-
guided youths who have brought so
much. sorrow upon the world at large.
Up to the hour of the tragedy the
Government of Bosnia was practically
In their hands and they had things
city much their way.
The Moslems form about half the
total population. The other half is
made up about equally OF the Servian
and Croatian elements. Baron Burian
and his predecessor were very friendly
to the Serbs, and as they were intelli-
gent and energetic they filled most OF
the public offices and were practically
the ruling class in Bosnia.
The loyal CrOats and MOslems were
overlooked to q large extent, even after
the governing powers had become con-
WINGED that the Belgrade propaganda
was assuming rather dangerous forms.

Letter Carriers Stars

81 DON'T know said a New York
observer of things, whether
the average New Yorker ever
notices the star or stars on a letter
carriers sleeve, or If he does notice,
stops long enough to inquire what
they stand for. But the carriers wear
stars, though many Of them are very
careless about il, so much so indeed
that | have thought the Post Office
Department should make it a regula-
ton not to be disregarded that every
carrier entitled to his stars should
wear them,
lone carrier told me he did not wear
his because he had been in the service
thirty years and the stars would call
attention % his age, and he didn't want
that for fear he might lose his place
to a younger man. Which sounds like
a shame, doesn't 1t?
Anyway, the stars are marks OF
merit and they are graded by years OF
honorable service. one black star
means five years, two ten; n red star
fifteen years, two twenty; n silver
star twenty-five years, two thirty ont
gold I thirty-five years, two forty or
more, and few there be who wear two
gold stars. Indeed / don't think there
are any double gold stars, though

he said:

He spoke in German and the last

manner during my first call upon the

United States Consul Makes Full Re

Steamer-Capt. Dalk Says Members
of Crew Were Well Treated

WASHINGTON, July 29.-With the
receipt of practically a complete re-
port of the torpedoing of the Ameri-
can steamer LeelanaW by German
submarine, state department officials
began the preparation of a note to
Germany requesting the payment of
damages on the ground that the Prus-
sian-American treaty of 1928 had been
violated.
A report from American Consul Den
nison at Dundee, Scotland, brought to
light the fact that the captain of the
Leelauaw attempted to escape, but sub
mitted TO visit and search after warn
ing shots were fired, The right to
escape, officials declared, is conceded
by international law, only repeated at
temps to evade capture or forcible re-
sistance being regarded as affecting
the case. sts.
Unofficial reports that the German
submarine commander was unwilling
TO iettison the cargo of the Leelanaw
and to allow her to proceed, as the
treaty of 1928 provides, cleared up
doubts here on this point. The mater
ial necessary for the presentation of
a claim similar to that made in the
case of the William p Frye was
therefore practically ready for consid-
Grafton tonight.
The complete report of Consul Den
nison is as follows:
