HAULING WHiSkEY NOW
A FREcARIOUS BUSINESS.

Atlanta, August 31.-Hauling wills
key in automobiles has become a
most precarious business venture in
Fulton county, due to the activity of
both the city and the county police,
who have begun to avail themselves
of the right to confiscate and sell We
hicles in which liquor is found, no
mattr how small the quantity.
In the past week the county police
have put on the block and sold a
number of cars, ranging from fliv
vers in cars costing we'll up in money.
They have become so expert at spot
ting cars containing liquor that a
blind tiger must have an iron nerve
and the brain of Sherlock Holmes to
get by with his cargo. Running the
blockade in the Spanish-merican war
was no more exciting or hazardous
venture than running the liquor
blockade in Fulton county.

small acreage is to be thrashedan
acre or so--this method is practicle
and economical. In a few sections a
corn shredder has been used to adj
vantage in thrashing beans. If prop
erly dried out, the beans shell out
very rapidly with such a machine.
The straw obtained from thrashing
soy beans for seed is valuable feed
for all kinds of stock. In many sec
lions the straw is baled at the time of
thrashing and sold to liverymen,
dairymem and stockholders.
Storage OF Seed.
AS soy bean seed spoils rather cas-
lily if not properly handled, care
should be exercised in curing and
storing. After the beans are thrashed
they should be watched to prevent
heating and m2ulding When thor
ousl;ly dry there is 10 such danger.
The best plan, perhaps, is to spread
the seeds out on the floor, immediat-
ly after thrashing, and shovel them
over from time to time until they are
thoroughly dry After this they may
safely be put into sacks or bins. The
store room should be dry and have a
free circulation of air. Soy bean
seed loses its yiabiity rather rapidly,
and it is not safe to hold seed for
planting purposes more than two sea
sons. The seeds of the soy bean, un-
like those Of the cow-pea, are rarely
attacked by weayils or other grain
insects.

POPE is DISAPPOINTED
AT PRESIDENTS REPLY.

Rome, August Sit was stated at
the Vatican today that the Pope, on
receiving President Wilson's answer
to his peace proposals, did not at
tempt to conceal his disappointment.
He regards the answer as leaving lit
tie room for further peace efforts at
present. 1t is no secret here that the
Pope hoped for more favorable re-
ply from the United States than from
any other quarter. Before the reply
was received, it was stated, that the
Pope expected to proceed further
with his efforts after all replies are
received

HARVESTING SOY BEANS
FOR SEED AND GRAIN

Washington, d. c., Aug. 31-For
the information of farmers who are
rather than foreta etaoin etaoin etao
beginning to grow soy beans for grain
rather than for hay, and who are I'M
familiar with the handling of the
plants under the former conditions,
the United States Department of
Agriculture will shortly puglish Far
mer's Bulitin, Harvesting Soy Beans
for Seed" The demand for these
seeds for use in the production Of
Gil, feed cake, and other bean prod
| is rapidly increasing and the farmers
Of the United State are preparing to
meet this demand
The character of growth the uni
ofrm maturing habits, and the heavy
seed Yields of the soy bean, says the
bulletin, contribute to the ease of
| harvesting and recomend the plants
for seed production. The many dis
advantage, which attend the harvest
ing of cow peas for seed are not com

Of the soy bean is a serious fault and

sustain heavy loss of seed through
lack Of knowledge and improper
hondling Of the soy bean plant. 1t
is we'll, however, with most varie-
ties to give special attention as ma
turity approaches to prevent serious
losses from this cause.
Time of Harvesting.
In general, the best time to har-
vest, except where special bean har-
veSters are used, is when about three
fourths of the leaves have fallen and
most of the pods have turned color.
If cut at an earlier stage the plants
are difficult to cure porperly, and
emo the yield will be lessoned mate
rally on account of the immature
grain. On the other hand, if the
/ plants are allowed to become tOripe,
the pods will shatter before being
cut, and much seed will be lost.
When special harveters are used to
gather the seed, the plants must
reach full maturity to obtain the best
results
Methods of Harvesting.
Various methods Of harveting the
crop are in use. in different sections
where the soy bean is grown largely
for seed production. The crop may
be cut with ordinary moving ma
chimes, self-rake reapers, self binders,
or even with scythes, corn knives
and sickles. The beans may also be
harvested With special bean mar
vester which gathers the grain from
the standing plants.
When the plants are cut before ma
turity, they are cured in shocks and
allowed to stand in the field until a
convenient time for thrashing. If
throughly dry they may be housed
and thrashcd later
ThresI1ine.
Thrashing may be done with an or
binary grain separator, but if this
machine is used, it must be altered
somewhat to prevent the cracking OF
the beans. In s0mecases a special
set CT thin concayes is used for
ing beans and in other instances
some Ct the concayCs are removed.
GOOD judgement on the part Of the
thrasherman will enable him to adj
thrashing beans and in other ins;an-
ces some Of the concaves are remov-
ed Good judgment on the part Of the
tie splitting.
Special bean and pea soparators
are Oh the market and their use may

thoroughly dry, soy beans can be
thrashed without fail. If only o

MAKING PROGRESS
 0N THE FOOD BILL
Republican A. P. Leased Wirel


 WASHINGTON, June 30.-Much progress toward compromise on pro- libition and little on other features in 1he food control bill was made today by the senate
 Sentiment crystalliZed in favor of a substitute prohibition section following the lines of President Wilson's sugges- lion to prohibition leaders to drop the fight aganst the manufacture of beer and wines.
 Alter conferences with other leaders, Senator Chamberlain drafted a tenta- tive section which would stop manu- facture of distilled beverages only without giving the president any au- thority over malt and vin6us beverages. This draft will be considered tomorrow at special meeting of the senate ag- 'icnltnre committee. It is said by the leaders to have the general support Of senators although several plan an ear nest effort to give the president power to discontinue brewing and wine mak- ing.
 The administration leaders also plan to eliminate the provision giving the president authority to commander eX- lsting stocks of distilled splrits
 General debate with speeches by Sen ators Lewis and Reed occupied the senate all of today. Senator Chamber lain tonight said it was not probable that the bill would be passed before the Fourth of July recess.

EISBEE, June 30.-Breadlines of MeXicans who have left the employ of the several mining companies in the Warren district. since a Walkout was called Tuesday by the Metal Mine Workers Union were in evidence today in front of union headquarters. It was estimated that between two hundred and fifty and three hundred were ih the line at one time. They were taken care of by the organization.
 Sixty more men reported for work at the various shafts of the Copper Queen this morning and more miners reported for work at the Calumet and Arizona shafts. The mechanical forces are still at work with the exception of a few men in each instance.
 Picketing on Bisbee streets this af- ternoon assumed a noiseless character following the proclamation of Mayor Jacob Erickson that the law must be obeyed. The mayor issued another or der this afternoon calling on the peo- pie of the city to cease congregating on the streets.
 Sheriff Harry c. Wheeler in a state ment tonight declared, in answer to some criticism of his activity in the Warren district:

Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

WASHINGTON, June 30.-Revision of the $1.S10, ,10O,6 war tax bill passed by the house five weeks ago. were completed by the senate finance committee today The measure Virtu ally was rewritten and reduced to s1,- 652 100 with no authorization of ad- ditional bonds The final draft will be given formal committee approval Mon day and reported to the senate early next week.
 Incomes and excess profits will bear about tWo-thirds of the new tax bur dens under the revised bill-about half a billion dollars each-with a large share of the remainder secured from liquors and tobacco. Many house taxes were entirely eliminated by the com mittee and others added.
 Radical increase of taxes on war ex- cess profits of corporations, partner ships and individuals, decided upon to- day. enabled the committee to dispense with the suggestion for additional bond issues of from $500 000,G coo to $1.00O.- 000 000 Senator Stone withdrew an amendment for d $500,000,0 900 issue. While the bill falls short by about $500, ,000, ,000 of meeting the treasury es- inmates of war expenditures next year the committee decided that by issuing $l35, 900 of authorized but unsod Panama canal bords the expenses can be met until congress reconvenes in December.
 As finally drafted the much debated publishers tax section proposes a five per cent tax upon publishers profits over S4,000, yielding $7,500,000 revenue and an increase of quarter of a pound in second class postage rates yielding S3,C00,G00.
 Excess profits due to the war under the revised bill would be $730, GOO. 900 in taxes graduated from F to 40 per cent according to the proportion of excess. From income taxes $532, GOO 900 would be raised, s66.O00,0 900 less than the house provided-the decrease being made entirely upon incomes of .000 annually and above with the commit tee approving the house plan of lower ing income tax exemptions to $1 ,000 for single persons $2,000 for married per 1 sons. additional normal taxes of per cent upon incomes up to S5,0O0 and surtaXes graduated from one to 8 per cent upon larger incomes.
 The committee also changed the plan Of collecting income taxes from that of collection at the source" to 'informa ton at the source" to accomplish direct payment A comparison of the esti- mated revenue to be gained from other sources under the revised bill and the 1 ho"ee bill. resnectivelv. follows:

MEXICANS ARE FED FROM COMPANY STORE
IRepubIican A. P. Leased Wirel

NACO. Ariz., June 90-Some four thousand Mexicans. former employees of the Cananea Copper company at Can anea, Sonora, are being supplied with free rations from the company store, the stock of which has been confis cated by the local authorities there. Each man is being given goods to the value of SIPS, Mexican money, daily. It is estimated the stock on hand will last about ten days. The Mexican author ities are encouraging the idle workmen to leave Cananea and circulars have been posted announcing that free trains will be run to carry the people to other sections of the country. This information was brought to Naco by persons arriving from Cananea at five o'clock this evening.
 A Mexican officer had his leg broken when the automobile in which Mexi- can employe of the Cananea company named Moreno. was killed while being ta ken to Hermosillo under arrest Thursday. Moreno was said to have been left in charge of the company's s properties at Canarea when the mines were closed and his arrest followed a disagreement with Mexican officials. The officers who were taking him to the state capital were said to have been drinking.

GOVERNOR KEEPS
 IN CLOSE TOUCH
 WITH SITUATION

No word of outright violence com mitted at Bisbee, where striking miners have closed down nearly 50 per cent of the copper mines, has yet been received by Governor Campbell in this city Through personal rep resentatiyes, the governor is keeping in close touch with events at Bisbee and also at other mining centers in the state where there is unrest. At the first word of bloodshed or vio- lence. it is his intention to go to the scene of trouble if he can do so without getting completely out or touch with other districts.
 In response to the recommendation made by Governor Campbell on Fri day to the department of labor that conciliator be appointed to go to Bisbee and endeaVor to secure an agreement between the miners and operators, J. F. Myers. of Fl Paso has been named, according to tele- gram received by the governor yes terday MT. Myers acted as concilia- tor in the Clifton Morenci strike a year and a half ago with much suc- cess.

From Bisbee 1 learn that Colonel Hornbrook, the representative of the war department, who is making an investigation of the difficulty, is on the job. Apparently, the element that is trying to close down the mines there is not gaining. for wire tells me that there was a better repre-
