PANAMA CANAL
 SHOWS BIG LOSS

PANAMA, May 2O-The first eight months of operation of the Panama canal have not yielded a profit to the government, notwithstanding that traf- tc has been better than had been ex- pected in view of the European war. From July l, 1914 and ending March 1, 1915, the canal showeu q loss of $26l,O9S, the deficit being mainly chargeabe to the high cost of opera tion and maintenance.
 During the period mentioned the ca nal earned $2,334,515 Tn tolls, while the charge for operation and mainte, nance was $2.595,613, the government thus losing approximately 10 per cent. Under operation and maintenance are included all the diversified expendi- lures necessary for keeping the canal open to traffic, and a prorated part of the expenses of the civil govern ment, sanitation and general admins tration.
 More than one-third of the overhead expenses of the canal is charged to operation and maintenance.

GERMAN SHELL LIFTS
 COFFIN OUT OF GRAVE

GENERAL HEADQUARTERS, Brit. ish Army, France, May 2O-One of the huge German 42-centimeter shelh opened a grave in the little cemetery of the village of Riche Bourg St. Waste recently and, exploding, lifted a coffin and the skeleton therein fifty feet in the air, where bones and splin- tered wood caught and hung on the side of the church tower. Wind and rain have come, but part of the skel- eton still depends from the tower, rat ting and swaying in the breeze. A correspondent of the Associated Press, h otoring along the British lines, saw the strange sight, perhaps the oldest freak of shell fire of the war. Parts of the skeleton. whose, nobody knows, (for the villagers have fed) has dropped to the churchyard below, but enough of the bones remain in mid air to be identified as those of a hu. man being.

SILVER WAVE STARTS
 FOR THE ARTIC

The gas schooner Silver Wave, owned and operated by Capt. Gund- mundson, one of the few surviving yes sells of the Alaska field fleet, is on it's way to Boring Sea and Arctic Ocean places rarely visited.
 The Silver Wave will penetrate far along the coasts of the Arctic ocean in search of trade with the Indians and Eskimos.
 The Silver Wave will be remembered as the schooner that took a party of Alaska legislators from Nome for In. neau and never landed them at their destination, running into a storm. the violence of which so dismantled the iittie craft that she had to put into one of the islands above Kodiak for shelter for such a long period that all nope Tor her was given up. Finally he Dora, a freighter bound for Sew. ard' transferred them to that port.
 Copt. Gundmundson is the second navigator to brave the perils of the Arctic this spring, the Polar Bear already having departed for the Far North. T

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
 WILL HOLD CONFERENCE

Governor Strong recently received letter from Secretary Wilson, of the department of commerce and labor, requesting him to appoint a delegate to a conference of state and municipal officers which will be held in San Fran cisco on Aug. End, for the purpose of gaining their cooperation in promot- ing the best interests of the laborers of the country by widening the scope of the labor bureaus recently estab- lished by the government.
 The letter says:
 Recently through the division of information of the Bureau of Immigra- tion, distribution branches, or labor exchanges were established through out the country in order, on the one hand, to foster, promote and develop 'iit NNiltti' ol ltt wage tdllltISt anu, on the other hand, to afford to employ CTS in all industries a method where by they may make application for and secure, without expense, such help as they may need"
 "The postoflice department, with of ficers in each city and town, and the department of agriculture, with repre- sentatiyes in every agricultural com munity, are extending to the govern ment great aid"
 Continuing, the letter states that the state and municipal authorities are in closer touch with the laboring clas- ses than the department heads and for this reason it is the wish of the de- partment to hold a conference with them.

HOLLANDS FOOD PRICES
 ARE SOARING HIGH

THE HAGUE, May 2O-Holland is now suffering from high food prices, the result of various causes. the chief of which was the rush of Dutch pro- ducers at the beginning of the war to take advantage of the increased demand from abroad and the conse. quently augmented rates offered by foreign buyers.
 Retail prices of number of articles of consumption have risen in an ever increasing ratio ever since the out break of hostilities. Statistics coy- ering 27 articles have been compiled and these show that, figuring the average cost at 100 during the past twenty years, the prices have now risen by 30 per cent. Prices. bowev. CT had started going up some time oeloFe the war. In fact. since 1907 they have been rising steadily two or three points year until July. 1914, when they stood at 113. From An. gust to December last year they jumped suddenly to 121, in January of this year they had mounted to 10e in February to 13O, and they are still going up.

HISTORY OF WAR
 TAUGHT FRENCH SCHOOLS

PARIS, May 20-The history of the war is being taught to the children of France as it goes on. By order of the minister of public instruction the schools have observed a patriotic day. Every teacher talked about the war and brought out the patriotic char acter of the conflict from a French standpoint. There followed a Bel glan day devoted to King Alberts heroic attitude, a Serbian day and day devoted to the praises of the eel. ebrated 3-inch field gun.
 Instead of distracting the minds of the children from school work, the war has been made to heighten it's interest, and the attendance has been normal during the winter. The great est difficulty was finding new quarters for the primary classes, most of the school houses having been utilized by the army for barracks and hospi. tals, but this has been overcome.
 The details of instruction in matters relating to the war have been left to the discretion of the teachers. Some of them read and comment on the ofic- ial communiques. Others read the exploits of officers and men as dis. closed by the citations in the orders of the day, and many letters sent from the front by soldiers of the vicinity are read. It Is often the soldier in person who tells the little ones of his experiences, for many teachers, dis abled for further service in the army, have returned to their school duties.
 Sometimes it Is a soldier who has never been a pedagogue who relates his experiences.

DEPTH FOR COVERING SEEDS
Quarter or Half an Inch is Quite Suf-
ficient for Onions, Lima Beans
and Like Plants.

Too much stress cannot be laid up
on covering seed properly. We are
very apt to cover too deeply. AS a
general rule the smaller the seed, the
lighter should be the cover. Onions.
squashes, parsnips and lima beans, or
such plants that push up the shells
of the seed itself, fin0 it difficult to
force their way through very great
depth of earth after it is packed down
by rains A quarter or half an inch
at most is quite sufficient covering
for these seeds. Care should be exer-
cised TO see that Jumps of earth are
not left over them.
When we plant beets, carrots, pars
nips. etc, we always like to have long
rows, and do not believe in wasting
space in useless paths and walks, with
short rows running crosswise. 1t is
much easier to keep long rows clean
than short ones, and the labor in car
ing for long rows is much less thar
that needed for short ones.

Three days can exist at the same

nevertheless a fact that when IL is

II one travels westward. one loses

writes Hereward Darlington in the

Could one travel at the rate of 10
degrees a day. one would lose exactly
one hour each day. In twenty-four
days the circuit would be complete.
Inasmuch as sun and earth are con-
stantly revolving and day merging in

on the worlds surface an arbitrary
line must be set, to the east of which
is one day, to the west OF which is the
