HUGHES FOR FLAG
Justice Gives America First Speech
to Girls,

Washington, June I'm the seclu-
sion of the National Cathedral school
lawn, where he was presenting an
American flag to the honor graduates,
Justice Charles E. Hughes Monday
made his first public address since
the opening of the pre-convention
campaign. He told the young women
graduates the flag meant America
first, an undivided allegiance and a
nation united and equal to its task.
This flag means more than associa-
ton and reward said the justice. "It
is the symbol of our national unity,
our national endeavor, of our nation
al aspiration. 1t tells you of the strug-
gle for independence.
''It speaks of equal rights; of the
inspiration of free institutions eXem-
plified and indicated; of liberty under
law intelligently conceived and impair
TALLY administered. There is not a
thread in it but scorns self indulgence,
weakness and rapacity. 1t is eloquent
of our common interests, outweighing
all Emergencies of opinion.
"Given as a prize to those who have
the highest standing, it happily en-
| forces the lesson that intelligence and
zeal must go together; that discipline
must accompany emotion; and that we
must ultimately rely upon enlightened
| opinion.

Bourne Shows Financial Ineffi-

Wilson Policy Causes Big De-
cline in Customs Duties.

Washington, June Jonathan
Bourne, jr.. in a statement today at
tackled the financial record of the
Wilson administration. He said:
tOf $2,278. 100000 worth of exports

February, 1916, thirty-one classes of
articles necessary to modern warfare
made up 81 per cent of the total. or
S1,179, 866, 600 and these 81 articles by
no means exhaust the list
Cites Statistics.
Mr.. Bourne cited statistics of the
department of commerce to prove
there has been 1.-The highest record
for importations, with the lowest aver
age rate of duty, in the commercial
history of the United States"
He continued:
while customs duties have declined
to a point which prompts Democrats
to propose taxes of doubtful constitu-
tionality, imports give assurance of
largely exceeding the $2,000,000 900
mark by the end of this fiscal year.
War Orders Influence.
THE influence of the war orders on
our trade balance is readily apparent.
For the ten months ended April, 1913,
under the Republican law, and a nor
NAL period, our favorable trade bal
ance was nearly $560,000,0O0. This
dwindled to s473,OO0,0 900 for the period
ended April, 1914, under the Demo-
cratic law. For the ten months ended
April, 1915, the balance in our favor
was $1,670, 700, 900"

SELL YOUR WEEDS
Scarcity of Crude Drugs Brings
Demand for Plants.
DandeIiOn Roots VIII Bring
Is Cents a Pound.

Manhattan, Kan, June 6--Have
any weeds for sale? Importation of
crude drugs from Europe has been
with the result that there is now profit
in collecting certain varieties of COM
mon weeds with medicinal qualities
Dried roots of the downtrodden
dandelion bring 5 cents a pound in
the drug market. Burdock, black In
dian hemp, and yellow dock roots are
valued at cents a pound. Dried
jimson weed leaves sell for cents,
while mullen leaves are worth only
two cents The dried roots of the
coneflower bring Is cents a pound.
There is now a limited opportunity
for gathering drug plants in Kansas,
according to H. F. Roberts, professor
of botany in the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college. Under normal trade
conditions few plants of this nature
can be raised or collected in the United
States with profit, but because of the
temporary rise in price of crude drugs
due to the war there is more of a de-
mand on the part of drug companies
than usual for the local plants.
How and When to Dig.
Most of the drug firms hesitate to
publish an advance price estimate on
these crude drugs because of the price
collecting should be treated as side
line.
Roots that come from perennial
plants should be dug at any time be-
tween the ripening of the seeds in the
fall, and the starting of the spring
growth of the plant. They should not
be gathered while the tops are grow
ing, points out Professor Roberts. BIZ
ennial roots such as those of the yell
low dock or burdock should be dug
late in the fall of their first year.
When gathered all roots should be
washed perfectly free from soil and
spread out in a clean place to dry.
Large roots should either be split or
sliced crosswise since they dry more
rapidly in this condition.
Leaves to be of the highest medi-
cinal value should be gathered just
before they are mature. They must
be free from stems, and clean and
bright in color.

Old Stone Vault
Belleville, Kan, June 6.-While Au-
gust Swanson was listing corn few
days ago, his lister uncovered a stone
vault in which was found a human
skeleton. The field is on high
ground overlooking the Republican
river. and from all indications was the
grave and skeleton of an Indian. Fur
ther developments ard study would in
dictate that the body was placed there
at least 100 years ago. This is based
upon the method of burial of the var
ious tribes of Indians and the fact that
at the side of the body in the vault
was an old-fa fashioned flint knife, used
as a scalping knife, something which
has been out of use with the Indians
for many years.
