UNITED STATES WILL
PREPARE FOR CRISIS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3O.-A
feeling of uneasiness was ap-
parent on all sides today as the
eleventh-hour efforts to prevent
a nationwide railroad strike
went forward with the greatest
haste.
Meantime the entire country
rushed plans for meeting condi-
tions which will be brought
about by the great strike.
President Wilson is making
efforts to induce the brother
hoods to postpone the strike, ef-
fective September 4. There
were indications that Wilson
might publicly request railway
workers that the strike order be
rescinded unless the brother
hoods agree.

Will Finish to End Of Their
Runs.

On separate sheet from the
order the duty of the members
and officers in the conduct OF a
strike are set forth. Particular
emphasis is placed on conduct
ing the proposed strike as peace
fully as possible. Among the
duties of members set forth are
these:
"No man in road service in
volved in the strike will perform
any service after the hour set to
strike, unless he has already be-
gun a trip and has actually left
the terminal. II the train has
left the terminal he will com
plete the trip and deliver the
engine and train at the end OF
the run, or tie-up point if tied
up under the law, after which he
will perform no further service
until the close of the strike.
Men in other than road service
will leave the service at the ap-
pointed time.

Eight-Hour Day.

Congressional leaders are talk
ing of passing a law for an
eight-hour day for employees of
all corporations and industries.
It is said that the railway
brotherhoods have a supply of
money to be divided amongst the
four unions, should strike relief
be necessary, and that the
amount will be apportioned out
at $40 a month to men involved
in the prospective strike. The
shNd has been accumulating for
sIs'oeste.time. Preparations for
the are being discussed
and preli1Is:ies for the initial
movement havseen arranged.
Trains on the lines will be run
to. the nearest functions, fires
will be banked and engines oiled.
The engines and the cars will
be delivered to the companies in
perfect condition and every man
will then quit the property with
orders to avoid violence or tres

A GREAT MONUMENT
FOR LINCOLN

Washington, Aug. 15.-Two years
from this month the $2.000,0O0
Lincoln memorial now being con-
structed in Potomac Park here will
be ready for dedication. The cor
ner stone was laid Feb. 12, 1915.
Henry Bacon, architect of the me-
mortal, in speaking Of the progress
of the work says:
Before the winter is over the
Lincoln memorial will he rooted and
the building will be completed and
the statue of Lincoln in place two
years from now. The largest blocks
of marble ever used in the construc-
ton of a building have been used in
the memorial. Ore, the largest
block, is 1S feet long and six feet
high. 1t is the top middle stone ov-
er the entrance. The memorial when
finished will be as tall as an aver
age ten-story Office lhuilding.

DEMONSTRATION
FARM GROSS
RECEIPTS LARGE
jamestown Demonstration Farm
Makes Fine Showing For
DiversificatiOn.

The threshing at the demonstra-
ton farm has been completed and
the country agent is figuring UP the
receipts from the four plots at the
farm on the Wilhelm place north of
jamestown.
Marquis wheat tts~eshed Z bushels
to the acre; durum wheat went 10
bushels and flax, II ga bushels to
the acre. Glover, it will be remem-
bered, yielded a little over three tons
to the acre as previously stated. The
corn from present indications will
yield 35 bushels to the acre.
Each of the plots contains four
acres and placing low figure the
receipts will approximate the fol-
lowing:
From the four acres of marquis,
s22.40.
From the four acres of durum
$2S.0O.
From the four acres of flax
$96.25.
From the four acres of clover
$4,000.
From the four acres of corn, ap-
proximately $105.
This makes total of $371.65
from the 20 acres, over half OF
which came from the corn and clo-
yer, quite showing for diversified
farming. 1t was noted that a plot
of clover seeded four years ago came
up with as good a volunteer crop as
that seeded this spring. 1t grew in
the wheat and will be turned under
as green manure.
The fact that it costs less to pro-
duce and. harvest the clover than
the grains should be borne in mind,
as we'll as the fact that the crops
succeeding the corn and clover, will
be benefited for several years and
will show this in enlarged yields.

difference between a mail train

ELEVATORS
PURCHASING
GRAIN BY WEIGHT
New Crop Bought Under Special
Conditions This Year.

The elevator companies are pur-
chasing the new crop of wheat by
weight, as the quality generally will
not fill the conditions required by
the standard grades. In exceptional
cases the new crop is receiving a
grade, but the majority of the fields
that have been threshed show that
the quality will not. reach graded
! S0hu lSions. Wheat LnaC has Dsen
threshed runs in weight all the way
from 80 to 4S, and occasionally so
pounds to the bushel.
Supt. Grobe of the Occident eleva'
tor company, states that great deal
of the wheat promises to weigh from
40 to As pounds, and if it is bright
color, although shrunken, it will
make milling wheat, but of course
it will require much more of it to
equal a bushel of average quality.
It appears that most of the dam
age to the wheat crop was due to
blight from extreme heat, rather
than to rust, and to this is due the
milling value that has been left in
the berry. If the damage has been
mostly due to rust instead of partly
so, the grain would have been fit for
feed only and would have been un-
ripe, dull color and badly shrunken.
In some instances durum wheat
has matured better than the other
varieties, and in other cases durum
is of a. poorer quality. The crop will
run very uneven and a great deal OF
it will be used principally for feed,
and will weigh not over 40 pounds
to the bushel.

The entire country is push
ing forward preparations for
a nationwide railroad strike
set for September 4.
A score of railroads, includ-
ing the Northern Pacific,
Great Northern, and many
other western lines, have de-
clared an embargo on perish
able stock and livestock, un-
delivered by Sunday night.
The Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe has notified en-
ployees that those failing to
appear Monday will be dis
charged and replaced by per-
manent substitutes.
Meanwhile, the Washing
ton government is rushing its
final efforts to prevent a
strike. But among the broth
hood officials opinion is dl-
vided whether the enactment
|of Wilson program before
Monday would prevent the
strike.
mo power on earth, ex~
cept a satisfactory settlement,
can prevent a strike, assert
ed President Lee of the train
men.
Big manufactures have been
swamped with kilograms to
rush shipments Immediately.
Dispatches from all over the
country indicate that within
forty-eight hours, unless de-
lay of the strike is ordered,
embargoes will be effective
on practically every railroad.
Commercial organizations
throughout the country are
hoping for the best, while
preparing for the worst.

DEMOCRATS
OPPOSE PARTY
EXTRAVACANCE
Representative Kitchen and
Senator Taggart Un-
afraid.

w aShlngtOn, u. C., Aug. 27.-Ac-
cOrding to remarks made by men,
bers on the floor Of the Senate and
House there are some democrats
who are in revolt against the pres
ent appropriation extravaganza,
and what they call reckless and
criminal expenditures of public
funds, brought about by influences
that control the present administra-
ton. Representative Kitchen, dem
ocratic leader of the house, a short
time since, stated that it was crimi-
nal to take hundreds of millions of
dollars out of the treasury for the
naval program advocated by the
chairman of the committee on naval
affairs, the secretary of the navy
and the President When certain
house republicans from Pennsylvan-
ia proposed the measure, Kitchen
denounced it as criminal reckless
ness, but now that same program he
declares is regarded by the presi-
dent las the very perfection of vir-
tue and patriotism"
Under the lash of the president
this program which Kitchen was in
duced to denounce as "criminal' be-
came law, and the secretary of the
navy promptly proclaims it to the
country as a great achievement of
the administration.
Another democrat, Senator Tag
gart of Indiana is being severely re-
buked by his party associate for
criticising extravaganza, and par
tiality to certain sections of the
south, but figures submitted by the
senator carry their own conclusion.
He cites, for instance, the case of
the postoffice at Falmouth, KY. The
town has a population of 1924. The
appropriation is 100000 and the
cost of maintenance, figuring inter
est on the investment at 1,140 and
including other necessary expenses,
will be $3,742 year, or nearly SO
piece for every soul in the town.
Mr.. Taggart quotes similar figures
in the cases of Roseville, Ca, and
Hazard, KY. He shows $4,000 ap-
propriated for Mt. Olive, N. c., with
population of 1,071; $4,000 for
Huntingdon, Tenn, with a popula-
ton of LIP; $4,000 for Clear Wa
ter, Fla, with population of LII.
".If this bill succeeds in getting
through Congress" declared Senator
Taggart, "The President should come
to the rescue of the Treasury and
veto it at once" Instead of squan-
dering money in catching cattle
ticks, killing coyotes, poisoning
ground squirrels, doctoring wild
ducks, treating goats suffering from
Malta fever, sending out useless
garden and vegetable seeds, passing
pork barrel river and harbor bills
and pork barrel public building
bills" says Senator Taggart, would
it not be better to get down to bed
rock economy and cut these useless
expenditures off and save the peo-
pie from the never-ceasing visits of
the tax gatherer?"
1t is remarked that Mr.. Taggart's
total failure to grasp the fundamen-
tails of Democratic policy is explain
ed by his Democratic colleagues by
the fact that he has been member
of the Senate only since April.

Matter Up to Congress

President Wilson is expected
to go to the capitol at 4 pm. with
his plan of asking for laws to
delay and positively avert a
strike. One plan is for an act
which will provide for conces-
sion of the eight-hour day. The
other, that sufficient time be al
lowed before it is put into effect
to enable a commission of five
men to work out details regard
ing the application of the short
er hour day one year if neces-
sary.
Operating heads of Chicago
and other western railways ad-
mitted today they were making
strenuous efforts to enlist strike
breakers in case the brother
hoods declare a strike.
A law similar to the Canadian
Disputes act, which averts all
strikes and lockouts for one year
pending the investigation by
commission of all details Incl
dent to the dispute, is contem-
plated.
The other is an eight-hour law
