RUSSIA BELIEVES
 FREEDOM OF PRESS

PETROGRAD, July 27. - Prince Scherbatoff, the new minister of the interior in a recent speech to gath. ering of newspapermen who were in. vited to the Home Office, said that he did not believe in heavy lettering of the freedom of the press, even in war times, and declared that he purposed to ask representatives of the War Office. the Admiralty and the Ministry of the Interior to discuss the whole question with the leading newspaper editors, in an effort to reach a more satisfactory arrangement than that in force at present.
 The mere fact that the minister personally met and talked with the representatives of the newspapers marks surprising departure from tradition.

SHORTEST SOLDIER
 WINS HONORs ON FIELD

PARIS, July 27.-The shortest sol dier in the French army is Guy Cou- dert, who stands feet 6 inches, but is solidly built enough to carry sol diers load. When he presented him. self at the recruiting office at Yer sailles the surgeon on duty refused to examine him, but later he was incor- porated in the 16Sth infantry at Lens. The butt of ridicule because of his diminutive stature, he proved he could follow the pace and soon earned the stripes of corporal.

EQUAL SUFFRAGE MAKES MUCH
 PROGRESS

| frage and other legislation affecting women figured prominently this year in the discussions of large majority of the state legislatures. The ses- sions of most of them have now come to close and a summary of their activities collated by The Associated | Press discloss that the question of woman suffrage came up for delibera. ton in 22 states and that divorce laws. mothers pensions, women police, minimum wage, eugenic marriage or I other subjects relating to women were considered in. 27 states.
 The legislatures of seven states adopted resolutions whereby consti- tutional amendment giving women equal suffrage rights with men will be submitted to the people at the fall elections either this or next year They are Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania in 1915; Iowa, South Dakota and West Virginia in 1916. Tennessee adopted a similar resolution, but it must also be passed by the next succeeding legislature before 1t can be submitted to the vot- CTS. So did Arkansas, but the resoiu ton was ineffective because of a pro l vision of the state constitution which forbids more than three constitutional amendments to be submitted at one election and three had already been filed with the Secretary of State.
 California adopted a resolution de claring that woman suffrage in that state had been an unqualified success. Alabama is considering the question at an adjourned session this month.
 In twelve states woman suffrage measures met defeat-Connecticu Delaware. Florida, Indiana, Michigan, New Mexico. North Caroline, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Texas, Vermont and Wisconsin. Three votes defeated | the measure in Indiana. It was passed | by the Senate with only three votes registered against it, but a motion in the house to call the bill out of com mittee failed to carry, 46 to 49.
 Three votes also killed the measure in the Texas legislature. where it was | introduced in the house. A two. thirds majority, however was re- quired to pass it and the suffragist supporters claimed a great gain. The resolution did not reach the Senate

Parasites Often Draw So nsaviiy Up
on Lambs % to Cause Emasia-
tIon and Finally Death.

Like the hos, the sheep has its %
culiar ailments which sometimes 70

Unlike the ailments Of the hog. how

not contagious, and the means neces-
sary to prevention are the same a.

nomical production. even in>health.
The most serious menace to continu-
cus thrift In the flock IL the presence
Of internal parasites. chiefly stomach
worms. The eggs Of the stomach worm
are dropped upon the ground with the
feces from infected sheep. The small
worms are swallowed with the grass

Stomach worms are frequently present
In such large numbers ~ to draw 20
heavily from the circulation - to
cause emaciation and finally death Of
the lamb. Mature sheep are much less
affected by these worms. though they
usually scatter the eggs.
Keeping the flock upon crops sown
upon plowed land prevents injection.
Such practice also furnishes the great
est amount of feed from each acre,
and the kind and variety of'food upon
which sheep thrive best. Flowing the
land prevents danger from stomach
worm eggs dropped upon 1t. In warm
weather the flock should be moved to
fresh ground every ten. days or two
weeks to prevent infection Of lambs
by larvae from eggs dropped from the
ewes. II lambs are by themselves the
time between changes might be long
or, but In most forage crop rotations
changes will need to be made every
two or three weeks. Fall sown rye,
spring oats and vetches or peas. rape,
cowpeas. soy beans. crimson or Japan
clover planted at proper intervals, will
furnish fresh pasturage at times de-
sired. Some Of the land can be used
twice In year. AZ by having one
planting Of rape upon the rye ground.
The cultivation Of the land destroys
all infection from previous pasturing.
Under such q system Of cropping and
grazing the land will improve, a. the
manurial value of the crops is prac-
tically all left upon the land and IN

WESTERN CANADA
SEEDING FINISHED
Wheat and Other Grains Have
Had an Excellent Start.

The seeding Of spring wheat was
pretty general this spring about 7th
Of April or about a. early a. In Illinois
and Iowa Oats and barley followed.
Information II to hand that on nrst
Of May all seeding was practically I'm.
ished. Farmers will now be busy at
their breaking. and the land for sum-
mer fallow will be entered upon. Some
who did not get their land prepared
last fall. win be later than the others,
but a. the spring in Western Canada
has been very open they win be only
. few days later. At tho time Of
writing rain would be welcome, but
at seeding time. the ground contained
= splendid lot of moisture and the
lack Of rain at the present time win
not be serious. The number Of farm
ers who have gone into the raising OF
cattle has been considerably In
creased, and the preparation for ex-
tensive cultivated grass pastures IL
in evidence everywhere. The culti-
walton OF fodder corn 10 being largely
entered upon In Manitoba there be-
ing upwards Of $4,000 acres in corn.
In Saskatchewan there win be
large Increase in the area planted. and
in Alberta many Of the more progress
sive farmers are taking hold Of It.
The yield varies according to the cul-
tivation y receives. and runs from
five to nine tons per acre. In some
porf.ons Of Manitoba where It has
been poor for some years. success has
been achieved In ripening and It II
expected that variety will soon be
developed that win provide seed for
the entire West, that will at an early
date give to Western Canada fame
for the growing OF q marketable corn
equal to that Il has now for the
growth of smaller cereals.
A trip through Western Canada re.
veals field after field Of alfalfa. the
growth Of which in any portion of
the country is now absolutely assured.
When these facts are made known to
the farmers of the corn sand alfalfa
growing states, where their value as
wealth makers IL 30 well known, there
will be no hesitancy in taking advan-
tage Of the splendid gift OF 100 acres
OF land made by the Government Of
the Dominion Of Canada, where equal
opportunities are offered. Besides
these free grant lands, there are the
lands Of some of the railway COM
panies and large land companies, that
may be had at low prices and on
reasonable terms. During the month
Of February . large number Of In
Quiries were received, asking for farm
lands.
An encouraging feature Of the farm
land situation in Canada is the large
percentage Of sales made to settlers
In the country who desire to increase
their holdings or to others who viii
take up farming In place Of different
occupations previously followed.-Ad-

THE TARIFF PROBLEM
Il Promises to Be the Keynote Of
Next National Campaign.


Speaking for the Pacific Northwest.
the, Spokane Spokesman-Review In
weighs against the new fiscal policy
Of the United States for which the
existing federal administration is re-
sponsible. 1t sums up the situation
at the present moment ~ follows:
Passage ofthe simmons Underwood
tariff bill by the Democratic party
carried the United States long way
toward the ultimate Democratic goal
Of free trade. That fact stands out In
strong relief In q recent department Of
commerce review of the country'r for
eign trade. Prior to the enactment OF
the new law import were almost
evenly divided between the dutiable
list and the free list. For example. Of
the total imports tin 1910, $756.811.-
396 were free OF duty, and $S01. .636I034
were dutiable In 1911, S776.s72.6os and
$760, ,26S.5s6 respectively. But In 1914.
first full calendar year under the new
tariR law, imports dut free totaled
n.127.602.6s9. as against $691 .aSs,2Ss
dutiable. In February. this year. duty
free imports were nearly twice -
much az dutiable imports--in round
numbers SS0,O00.000 and $46.000.000
respectively.
It asserts that on this record the
presidential campaign Of 1915 will be
vigorously contested between the free
traders and the advocates Of protec-
tion. and that ''the issue will be espe-
cially keen In the states Of the Pa
ctfc Northwest, where the free trade
theories of the Democracy are given
their most sweeping application" But
II disgruntlement with Democratic
free trade notions is active now. It
will be much more active under condi-
tions that are sure to arise after the
war. Then there will be sharper
struggle than ever by Europeans for
advantage in American markets. and
the difference between, the high wages
current here and the low wages gen.
orally current In Europe will tend
to put American manufacturers out OF
business and throw American work
inguen out Of employment unless
there is q speedy restoration Of the
protective principle in American tarin
laws.

WATER WILL KILL ALFALFA

Water standing on field of alfalfa

Alfalfa land should be well drained

days.
Alfalfa. II seeded in the fall, must
be put in early, about the first of Sep

growth before cold weather.
It may be then cut for hay next
year, whereas, when seeded in the

THE SECRET

Of good coffee Is to get pure, sound coffee.
If you ask your dealer he will tell you
that all coffees are pure, as the law pre-
hibits the sale of substitutes a. coffee.
Not all apples are pure although they
are apples. Some of them are often rotten.
Some coffees are windfalls, and whilst
the law allows them to be called coffee
they are impure and have q harsh taste.
Denison's Coffees are picked coffees, the
berries picked by hand from the trees,
consequently they are always pure and
sound in every sense Of the word, reliable
and delicious.
Denison's Coffees are always packed In
cartons, bags or cans with the name on
every package. AL others are limitations.
