year before the war we sold none at all
to England or Canada.
The facts are that the war has de-
moralized trade lines and channels oil
over the world. and trade has been
compelled to readjust itself to new con-
ditions. France has bought the fabrics
which formerly she could make but now
cannot make. wherever they were to
give her some: Britain could provide
some: she took them where she could
get them quickest. best, and cheapest
The fact stands. and the fgures for
commerce Of both England and the
United States prove II. that by far the
greatest, gamer in this readjustment of
the worlds business to war conditions
has been the United States.

PUBLIC WORK IN SCIENCE

Willingness Of German scientific
men to direct their talents to the
use Of the state 10 commented on
frequently in this country as if no
such loyalty were exhibited here.
Within the past few months there
have been shining examples of men
who were willing to turn inventions
over to the Government with which
they could have made private for
tunes, and the willingness of others
to give their valuable time and in
ventive genius to their country.
At the Bureau of Mines one young
man reported to his superiors "a
method which has just been pro-
nounced commercially practicable Of
converting crude oil into three
times as much gasolene as was de-
rived from it before. At the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor
q worker has found new method of
testing cement which will revolu-
tionize that branch Of building.
Equally striking is the way in
which men Of the type Of Edison
1--we been willing to serve on ad-
visory boards for national defense.
A group Of the leading scientific
men Of the country have shown
their entire willingness to give their
time and talents to the country's
service. The Americans service to
his Government 10 not press agented
as it is abroad. and the average
American takes such service for
granted too much to talk a great
deal about it.

HON SCHOOL SOLDIERS

After q warm debate in it's school
board, Baltimore has just concluded
to introduce cadet companies in it's
City College and Polytechnic Insti-
tute, corresponding to our high
schools.
Baltimore will not regret the
step. Each year Washington values
more its High School Cadet Regi-
ment. This year, especially, there is
reason why every regular boy should
60 into it. Officials are watching
with keen interest to see if the
boys measure up to the opportunity.
It is reflection on the high
schools that the cadet enlistments,
even in the face Of a law making
drilling compulsory except upon
written requests from parents, have
been 50 small. The reason given
last year was that many boys were
more interested in athletics. Neither
football nor baseball lasts through
out the school year, and many of the
high schools best athletes Of the
past also won shoulder straps in the
cadets.
This year there should be every
effort to have Washington boys take
advantage of q" institution Wash
ington has developed which other
cities are just beginning to copy.
The boy who does not go into the
cadets should be made to feel he is
a marked man unless he has some
valid excuse for staying out.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN NOTES

Old-fashioned ANIMALS are perennials
are more in use this year than ever.
Raspberries and Strawberries mold
very quickly if kept in close place on
hot, humid DAYS.
A good strain Of hollyhock makes an
excellent plant for late summer
screen at the rear of the house.
It will soon be time to take up gera-
NUNS and ANNALS to be grown in the
house for winter flowers.
DO not let any weeds ripen in the
garden. One weed may produce seed
enough to cover large part of the
garden.
Onions should not be- allowed to get
wet when being harvested, as this
rouchens the skin and makes them I'M
slightly.
The California poppy makes fine
annual for bright sunny place. 1t
now comes in several shades of white,
orange and red.
Celery may be blanched nv means Of
boards, paper, or drain tile. Earth is
likely to cause decav if applied when
the soil Or foliage is wet.
Plume poppy, or Bocconia cordata is
an excellent perennial for the border.
It is quite hardy, grows tall. and fits
in we'll with shrubbery.-LeRov Cadv.

SUMMER ''MUSTS'' FOR POUI-
TRY YARD

Bv November 1. 1915, Minnesota g
100000 farms will have 100000
hens. Count 'em, 100000. N. E.
Chapman of the Agricultural Exten-
sion division, University of Minnesota,
is authority for the statement. If these
100000 hens lay an average Of
dozen eggs each month, and the aver
age market price for November is
maintained, the income of Minnesota g
farmers from eggs alone in November
should be about $5,O00,000.
If the farmer is going to get his
share Of this tidy sum, he must do GER
tain things:
He must keep his hens IN good
health, providing coops that are clean
and well ventilated, and allowing the
chickens the run of orchard or pasture
through the day.
He must feed his hens well for
growth and development. They should
20 to roost with crops we'll filled with
wholesome grains, after returning
from the range, and plenty of skim
| milk and water should be available
through the day.
He must see that his hens have
shade in which to rest. If trees and
shrubs are not plentiful, burlap or
gunny sack shades should be put up.
He must keep his broody hens in
| airv GOODS and feed and water them
we'll. They will recover from their
broodiness in five or ten days.
He must gather his eggs daily and
market them at least twice a week.

THESE THE DAYS TO WATCH THE
WEEDS

This is the time when the weeds
steal march on the farmer, if lie is
not on the watch. 1902 saws W. l..
Oswald of the Minnesota Seed labora-
tory, "now is the time to become ia
miliar with the weeds GROWING on your
farm. Do not wait until weed has
infested large area before you find
out what it is-whether it is bad
weed or motor before you have dis
covered some method of eradication. If
you need assistance in this, the Seed
laboratory. University Farm, st. Paul,
Mimi, will make weed determinations
for you. All you have to do is to send
in specimens. If more than one speci-
men is sent in each should be number
ed, and corresponding specimen SINH
larly numbered should be kept by the
sender. Then the laboratory can re-
ply without having to return the
specimen. In sending specimens care
should be taken to send the whole
plant. Use the mails. Wran your
specimens carefully and send immedi-
ately before they have chance to dry
out.''

In the last three days have sunk 10
vessels, 10 Of which were British
trawlers and four of which belonged to
neutral countries. The British patrol
boat Ramsey also has been sunk by
the German auxiliary cruiser Meteor
In the North sea. The commander
Of the Meteor, realizing that escape
from pursuing British vessels was i'm
possible, abandoned his ship and blew
her up. The Meteor apparently was

tons. There were frequent reports
Of firing heard of Helgoland, but no

STRANGE BURIAL RITES
FOR KING OF GYPSIES
Leader Of Rowing Clan Died Near AL
bert Lea and is Laid Away With
Much Ceremony

Martin County Sentinel: Eli Ris-
tick, king of a band Of gypsies tnat
travelled over this section, died re.
Gently in camp near Alpert Lea, of
pneumonia, and was given an unus-
ual and impressive funeral.
To those who do not understand the
superstitious nature Of this people the
incident is quite remarkable.
The man, 'Eli Ristick, - was born
in servia is years ago Of gypsy par.
ents. The tribe moved to Brazil when
he was very young but when he be,
come old enough to shift for himself
he married and migrated to this coun'
try, landing on the Pacific coast. Be-
cause of his commanding character he
soon gathered around him many of his
own race who considered him practi'
cally king. He, with his following
lived in California during the winter
and every summer they made wagon
journeys through the middle ives:
making a Hvlihood by trading horses
and telling fortunes.
On this trip, beside himself and
wife, there were three full grown sons
with their wives and fifteen or more
children.
The women are densely ignorant
and are required to do most of the
work. They do not seem to know the
difference between right and wrong
But when it comes to money trans
action they are keen and have to be
watched.
The death rites of the king were
very elaborate and no expense was
spared.
The men seemed to have plenty Of
money and spent it lavishly. They
bought an expensive casket, clothed
the dead man in fine suit, with thu
best of undergarments.
They even bought diamond rims
and put it on a finger.
He will be buried with hat OF
and pipe in his mouth.
They kept the camp for one nigh
to carry out the death ceremony. The,
kept candles burning, and chanted in
carnations during all Of this time. On
of the sons took the remains to Chi
cago for burial where it will be PLACED
in an expensive, special overgrount
vault.
The members of the camp felt tn,
loss of their leader keenly, and ther'
was great sorrowing and show o:
grief.

H|BBING TO LEVY HIGHER TAX
WILL MAKE MINING COMPANIES
FIGHT FOR SOMETHING.
Council Would. Produce Cloee q
$4,000 600 BY Tax Levy Of Full
Limit Permissible.

Hibbing, Minn., Aug. 12.-Even
though still penniless in pocketbook,
Hibbing has become rich in dreams OF
the future, for the village council
voted to authorize for next year a tax
levy Of the full limit permissible under
the law.
The tax levy for this year was aimed
70 produce only about 100000, but
the levy just authorized by the council
would produce close to $2,000,000. This
is providing, of course, that the min
ing companies will pay under the
terms of this levy when they have re-
fused to pay the levy for this year.
Specifically, 100000 Is the tax levy
authorized for 1916 by the village
council. This includes $500, 900, gen.
eral fund; $25O,000, water and light
commission, and $3.50, 600, library fund.
Trustees Rupert Swinnerton, John
Curran and B. J. Burrows and Mayor
Victor L. Power all voted YEA"
Since the mining companies will
not consent to bond issue, l believe
that this is the only possible way we
can take care Of the Indebtedness" Mr..
Swinnerton said.
"Since the mining companies are
going to fight over SO, believe we
should make them fight for some.
! thing" Mayor Power se1l. II do not
think we should be the d q in the man
ger and leave the next council with q
similar situation as we have had. BY
such levy We can provide a sufi.
GENTLY large sinking fund SO that the
present financial crisis will not again
reoccur."
The law permits a separate levy of
3 mills on the assessed valuation for
library funds. The entire amount pos
sible to levy for library purposes Is
100000. The law also permits a 5.
mill tax for water and light mainte-
nance.

CURIOSITY

Within the wondrous Wilderness,
If you will come with me,

Call Curiosity;

And plant like hose;
A horrible, sharp-pointed prong
Does service as her nose.
Her body's shaped-'twill cause SUI
Just like question mark,
And with two little gimlet eyes
She sees when is pitch dark;
She towers above the trees so tall
When upright she doth stand,
Like gentle Alice, you IL recall,
In haunted Wonderland.
A lovely child she once was, at
The age of Eta May;
She poked her nose in matters that
Concerned her in no way;
So, mind your own affairs, nor let
Your prying self 'erdo, : -"
Lest curiosity should get
The best, some day, of you. =. -
