 For $243O.

Richard Murray, manager of Mur- ray Brothers brickyards in Clayton, notified the local police this afternoon committed at his office last evening by a negro emplOye named Irving Giles. Giles, he claims, cut away the win dow sash, entered the office and after pulling down the shades, lighted the electric lights and proceeded to pick the combination of the safe. As Mr. Murray had simply locked the day combination, this was an easy matter and he says Giles took a check made out for $24.30 and nine blank checks.
 Later in the evening it Is said Giles cashed the check at Buffers saloon and it was presented at the bank for payment this morning before MT. Murray learned of the burglary.
 Giles is described as an unusually tall and thin negro and is one who likes to travel in style when he has the coin. Last Saturday night he re- ceived over $35 in pay and came home to his boarding house early Sunday morning in a taxicab.

PHILIPPINE SILVER
 SELLS AT PROFIT
British India Takes 7,5OO,OOO Pesos, Paying Large Premium

lCorresnondence of ene Associated Prem,'
 Manila, P. l., June 27.-The Philip pine government has just sold to the government of British India 7,5O0,00O silver pesos at profit of close to half a million dollars over the original cost of the currency. The pesos when coined, each contained about thirty cents worth of silver but the price at which they were sold was 3S6 cents.
 The phenomenal rise in the price of silver the world over some weeks ago led officials of the insular government to study the question of the wisdom of disposing of a part of the silver hoard which the Philippines purchased at the low prices current in 1902 and 1903 At that time this purchase was ma de necessary by law to secure the issuance of S4,000,0OO pesos of paper currency (silver certificates) A later Jaw, passed in 1906, permitted a large part of this issue of silver certificates to be secured by gold but the govern ment then had in it's vaults 34,000,00 silver pesos, coined at a cost of thirty cents apiece.
 Some weeks ago J. l.. Manning, the insular treasurer, was sent to Hong kong to look into the silver mark end to confer with officials of the gov ernment of India, then in the market and to confer with officials of the gov ernment of India. then in the mark ket fGr silver. The net result of his trip was the sale of about one-fifth of the governments hoard. The delivery of the silver is to be made at the Manila branch of the Hongkong and Shang- hai Banking corporation, in lots of a million pesos. The coin is then to be transferred to India where it is to be melted into bullion in the presence of Insular Auditor C. H. French who is now en route to India to fulfil this duty.

Farmers Letter

1t appears to me sometimes as if our
weekly farm letters comes more often than
what the season for raising different crops
will Justify, at least find it different, at
times, to desscuss any particular farming
operation which will be practical for that
particular time would much rather consi-
der some of the many things which can be
done at present, than to spend so much
time thinking what is going to be done
some time in the near future.
There are so many things which tend,
indirectly, to make farming paving prop
osition that there can be no established rule
to go by. The seasons are so different
usually that the time for working the soil
and seeding varies great, and consequent
ly the many minor things which should be
done, should be tended to before the season
TOT parting IS mere.
Usually about this time of year is the
farmers best chance to go over all his fences
and see that all the bad places are fixed up
in good shape 50 they will canse no further
trouble during the flaming season.
The large piles of manure which can be
seen on most every farm, which has &C
cumriated during the winter, should be
hauled cut scattered over the fields where
the fertility is most needed, as soon as the
fields are dry enough to drive over with
team and wagon.
The implements necessary in preparing
the soil for Oats should be fixed in good
shape if they are not already, for the time
is close at hand for sowing, and the oats,
sowed early are usually the best occasionally
one sees aplow out in the field now-wait-
ing. There will be rainy day r w, and
then when a little inside, work can be done
to good advantage, such as oiling the
harness and making repairs. cleaning the
poultry house, and trimming up the team
SO they will have good appearance.
On we'll kept farm there are so many
things which should be done in the early
spring, that considerable amount of time
is required before one is ready to begin in
his coops. But everything is in readiness
one will have much better success, and will
be in position TO cultivate more acres.
When the season for planting is here l
think it would be far better to suspend all

in, of course if there is not enough. cleared
