ECONOMY CAMPAIGN
FOR FARMING CREDITS

Chicago, Aug. 19-An economy cam
paign of nationwide extent will be
started by American farmers at the
fourth national conference on market
ing and farm credits called today to
meet in Chicago, December 40 at
the hotel Sherman. The campaign
win begin with practical plans for
checking enormous wastages in mar
keting farm products. This annual
wastage is of billion dollar magnitude,
according to a statement of the gen.
eral committee. "The root of it lies
in defective local organization OF
farmers" says Secretary Charles w.
Holman of Madison, Wisconsin, "apd
the delegations will work out machjn-
cry for getting the local communities
more eighty organized"
Prior to the conference surveys will
be made, under the direction of the
committee, that will show the move
ment of crops, such as livestock, hay,
grain, cotton and perishable products.
The whole milk situation in its rela-
ton TO city distribution problems will
come in for a considerable share of
attention.
To bring out more vigorously TIE
evils in the present wastetul system
of handling farm products" the co1
ference will conduct special EcHri1g5
open to the public. Local and gen.
eral conditions will be taken W by
competent witnesses and remedies
will be outlined.
The rural credits section will an
alyze the scope and limitations Of the
federal farm loan act so that the
American farmer may know what tn
expect under its terms. This section
is to conduct hearings to develop
facts as to the status il America OF
the farm tenant, the farm laborer and
the immigrant in lis relation to the
land The conference leaders expect
the hearing TO put the delegates in a
position to sound the dominant chord
in the formc ton of comprehensive
land policy for the Ulitcd States
How to handle the INN grant and
how to move landless men to the LAND
will be stressed Economists, govern
ment officials and leaders in indus
tries dependent on farming will co
operate.

ALIEN INSTRUCTION URGED
Bureau of Naturalization Seeks In
creased School Facilities.

creased School Facilities.
Washington, Aug. 20.-Greatly in
creased school facilities are to be
provided this fall for the instruction
of foreign-born residents of the United
States and especially for alien can
didates for citizenship. During the
last scholastic year the public school
authorities of approximately $50 cities
and towns in "A states of the union
were cooperating with the bureau of
naturalization of the U. S. department
of labor in this branch of its educa-
tional activity. According to infor-
nation thus far received by the bu-
reau, nearly 100 others have signifed
their intention of joining in the move
ment and all indications now point
to most gratifying record for the
1867 school year.
1t is the desire of the bureau OF
naturalization that public school night
classes be installed wherever the need
exists for the education and Ameri
canization of foreigners. This field OF
operation of the public schools is not
limited to those who have applied f.;
naturalization. 1t is intended TO IN
clude all foreign born residents whose
instruction in English and civics
would, beyond question, result not
only in great personal benefit to hem
selves but would be of signal advan-
tage to the city in which they reside
and, logically, to the nation as well.
That the cost of the establishment
and maintenance of such schools IS
relatively small as compared with the
great good accomplished. IS convirc-
ingly shown by reports received from
the public school authorities who CO.
operated with the bureau of natural
ization last year. With this in view,
the bureau is urging the superintend-
ents of schools all over the country
TO insert in their municipal budget for
next year an item providing funds to
cover the expense of carrying Oh this
public night school work.

FIGHTING THE RABIES

The county commissioners are to be connlenueu lh
their action in recurring all dogs to be muzzled, ana we
await with interest the report from the state university
on the case sent there Yesterday for examination. Ii IL
should appear that the pet dog suspected OF raD1es anu
reported by its master has actually inoculated the otner
dogs with which it came in contact, the situation VIII DC
come at once acute.
der the direction of Surgeon General Rupert Blue or the
United States public health and marine hospital service.
at which eleven states were represented, the menace OF
the rabid coyote was thoroughly discussed and cary AZ
ton by Utah and other states was urged. LII. +. ~
Sans, of the United States biological survey, W1tn
quarters at Winnemucca, made this statement:
The state of Nevada raised 100000, although
it has a population of but little more than 100000.
Utah should not wait, however, as Nevada d1d'
until the malady has spread into the state and loss
es of cattle and sheep begin to be felt. This state
should act now while the rabld coyotes are sui
outside the borders.
DR.. Sans explained how practically every county IN
this state had levied a special tax which supplemented
the $4,000 contribution OF the state.
The meeting in Utah urged cooperation between the
various states and with federal officers ard stockrlen $
organizations and a federal appropriation formed the keE-
note of the rabies discussion, an appropriation OF not less
than 100000. This was asked from congress as aid 10
an interstate movement for the determination OF preda-
tory animals in an effort to stamp out the disease which
has been spread through the west by coyotes, wolves and
dogs.
The Go1dfield district has few cattle and fewer sheep
but it has its full share of dogs, and these dogs Will otter
a constant menace to every man, woman and child OF the
district, as well as to horses, if the rabies epidemic should
make its appearance here. The commissioners acted Ell
fective1v, but none too promptly, and the gentleman who
submitted his own pet dog for sacrifice on mere suspicion
is entitled to the thanks of the community.

CANALS OR BATTLESHIPS2

Those who believe in thorough preparedness are ad
vocating another canal, urging the final construction OF
tie long discussed canal through Nicaragua. They hold
that enc canal is not enough and that i Wor should &vcr
come the alternative canal would be a great aid ao
might possibly pay for itself many times over. A cana
is a canal, they say, and the only way to play safe is tc
have at least two, so that one may be used when the
other is closed.
The perpetuation of our interests in Nicaragua would
involve an outlay Of about three million dollars, and after
that the canal would have to be constructed and oper
atcd. There are still some capable engineers who believe
hat the first canal should have been cut through Mic
aracua instead of Panama.
The cost of a canal doesn't end with the cost of con
struCtion if it is to be of any value, and the operation OF
one canal is all this country is likely to assume. The
same amount of money invested in battle cruisers and
naval equipment will reach much farther in national de
lerse than the construction of another ship canal. 1t
will protect the one we already have.
