ROTARY CLUB MEMbERSHEAR
 TALK BY SELLS
Indian Commissioner, Prais- ing This Valley, Tells of Advantages for All Kinds of Agriculture

With an eloquence and enthusiasm seldom witnessed in Phoenix, the Hon orable Cato Sells commissioner of In- dian affairs, addressed the members of the Rotary club at their luncheon yes ;erday. MT. Sells holds Rotary mem bership in his Texas home town, and though he did not make set speech, his talk, which was extemporaneous. was brilliantly delivered, and was both instructive and entertaining to the To- cal business men.
 He was emphatic and forceful in ex- pressing his conception of the world wide war and the general conditions now existing generally. In aswer to the question of how long tre great war will last he expressed the opinion that a breakdown of the enemy would come more swiftly and more completely as the American nation exhibited it's full purpose of no compromise.
 MT Sells in the performance of his duties covers twenty -four states in which there are Indian wards of the government. He expressed himself as always finding a contrast in the east and the west in that the west is mors' progressive, and partially so because of mems closer association with nature.

LONDON STOCK MARKET
Brisk Business Takes Place in Securi-
ties-Home Lines Steady

LONDON. July "a fairly brisk busi-
ness was done in securities on the Stock
Exchange today and the markets, in the
main were firm, with a tendency to harden
further. The advance of the Russian troops
in Galicia and disbursements of f1,5OO, 900
were the factors Against the distribu-
tionc was a call for fl ,5OO,O 600 on the New
South Wales loan.
The feeling in the gilt-edged section was
cheerful with prices higher Allied bonds
we're confident and improved. Americans
were lower and a disappointing May report
caused Canadian Pacfcs TO reCede in sym
pathy.
Home lines were steady, except South
easterns, which were weak on liquidation
for estates of deceased persons, After ad-
vanclng Argentine rails became irregular.
Hudson Bay shares were strong on a
favorable report on the sales of land by
the company for the quarter There was
buying of armament and brewery descrip-
tions Mines were slow. Rubbers and oils
were hard.

was the steady tone in rubles, at about

little of interest, being dull but pesetas
turned easier and lire appeared steady

The most destructive enemy of the
cabbage and related crops is the cab
bage butterfly. This lays its eggs upon
cabbage leaf. The eggs hatch into
green caterpillars, and these eat the
leaves. In 1883. says the Journal OF
Heredity, an ichneumon fly was i'm
ported from Europe to keep the cab
bage butterfly in check. he fly lays
its eggs In the body of the caterpillar:
the larvae which hatch from these eggs
eat the caterpillar's insides, cut their
way out through the empty skin and
spin cocoons from which the flies
emerge.

RUSSIAN INVASION
CAUSING CONCERN
Rotterdam City Fathers Worried Over
the Russian Refugees Now in
That City.

Rotterdam, Netherlands, Aug 31.-A
Russian invasion of Rotterdam is causing
the city fathers some concern and the
burgomaster has just had an interview
with the premier, Cort van der Linden,
on the subject. As many as 5000 Rus
slams have been added to Rotterdam's
population since the outbreak of war,
most of them refugees from Germany
and Others escaped prisoners of-war. The
formers stay in Germany dates from be-
fore the war They were employed in
the mines there, and were not permitted
to leave when hostilities broke out. W
timately food scarcity drove them to seek
refuge in Holland, but they are in many
cases even pro German in their sympa
thies. In Rotterdam their wants are
supplied by the Russian consul.
The authorities now complain of the
habits of the newcomers and the trouble
they give the police with their street
fights and the like, while large number
are said to be sufferers from diseases and
thereby constitute danger to the public
health. Moreover, the invasion still con-
tinues, and in the absence of further ac
in Rotterdam some 5000
have been recently sent on to the small
town of Scheidem, where
they are even more umwelcome. Efforts
have been made to get the Russians
shipped to England, but the British gov
made regulations that are said
to have amounted to refusal to receive
them. The Netherlands government is
now being urged to deal with the prob. |
lem.
