 His book, "The Development of Cap. italism in Russia" is regarded as one of the most valuable contributions to Russian economic literature.
 Since the revolutions he is believed by some to have acted as an agent of Germany in spreading a separate peace propaganda. Many of his friends declare he has become insane.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 30-Anglers are puzzled over the large number of fish that are reported dying in the Big Meadows in Plumas county, Cali fornia What the Malady may be has not been determined. Several theor- ies have been advanced by local fish ermen The supposition that dyna- mite has been used is not generally credited for the reason that there have been so many sportsmen in the neigh borhood that this means of killing the fish could not be employed undetected.

ITO save the public from the incon- venience party line usually results in, is what we have been striving for" said MT. J. c. Barber this morning when explaining the installation of the new Harmonic Selective Ring System, which does away with the old method of ringing one, two or three bells for the different parties on one line.
 "A shortage of cable has prevented us from installing the bells before," Mir Barber explained" and there had been so few party lines that 1t did not cno~, u,o~+h v.',;ln hut now the deroand ,~,-s-..

 MT. Barher described the way the system worked. Four Bells are con- nected with the Vibrator. which before under the old system was connected with but one bell. Each bell vibrates only when it's particular number of vi- brations are sent out by the cycles de sired. Thus one bell rings under 33 vibrations a second, one under 66 vi- brations a second and so on, with all ite nur,har cf ,,'hrotions are sent forth

HOLDING BACK WHEAT.

A .ading authority on grain
 lures the opinion that such farmer as are failing to meet the demand z mills for wheat are not being gu by logic.
 It las been pointed cut that where the holding back of wheat or otheI' grains has occurred. it has not been due to an attempt at profiteering-- for that is impossible in view of the prices fixed by the government-but has been due to the peculiar condi- tions existing over large stretches of the country this .all. Unseason- able weather always means mix-up in working arrangements, and when the eather for short stretches is seasonable, permitting late fall work, it is a practice among soil-tillers to let other work lapse while the most urgent things are attended to.
 This was the case this fall, lead ing tc charges from many quarters that the farmers of f. e nation were deliberately holding back their crops.
 The fact is that the farmers have seeded a larger acreage than last year. and in the case of wheat have been promised g by act of congress. Many of them attended to work con nected with this sowing of increased acreage while charged with mold ing Lack wheat"

NATION DEMANDS UNITY.

Announcement of the killing anu wounding of some American soldiers in France and the capture of others by tie Germans brings home to us more than any previous incident the FACT that the United States is at war war the Hast man and tho last dollar"
 And this brings LIS face to face with the realization that if we are not to reach that Hast man and last dollA- there must be absolute unity at home. To successfully wage war abroad, tthe American people, thru its government, must not be occupied with internal troubles and dissen- sions. The nations interests at this time must be placed above all other interests. And LOYAL Americans will place 1t there-the.e above greed and selfishness.
 Germany has proved that she re- lies more upon intrigue, conspiracy, anarchism by her agents in other countries, and the hope of intimidat' ing her enemies by brutal treatment of persons falling victims to German brutality than upon her armies Tn the field. In every country with which Germany has been at war, there have been German spies and agents seeking to create internal dissension, strife and turmoil. Even before the United States entered the war German agents were busy in this country, violating the laws of neutrality and hospitality schemes for the murder of Americans and the de- struction of American property.
 W. may expect more of this un- derhanded work than ever. We may expect that agents of the kaiser will endeayor to foster bomb plots. ar son and other outragea in the effort to prevent the government from de voting its entire attention and ener- gies to the prosecution of the war
 against Germany.
 There will be attempts to use Ia bor organizations. because the arch
 cons1 ;rators at Berlin know that ii their tools in the United States can
 mroyoke strikes under any pretext whatsoever such results will redound to the advantage of Germany. NO op' Iportunity will be overlooked. These prussian plotters wi.! grasp every chance to provoke disccrd and detrac' attention from the events in the war
 zone by strikes, fires and any othei distu, ping factors they can cause.
 There is just one reassuring phase of the situation at home. The Amer
 ican people are awakening. They
 aer beginning to view with suspicion those individuals who are persistentlv
 seeking to create discurd, particularly
 between employer and employees. They are teginning to view with suspicion
 comes the money which these people
 snend so generously in their propa'
 gande against the interest or tae limited States and her people. There
 is more unrest now than ever. It IS 1 not due solely to high cost of living !Jt cannot be but considered slgnl1i
 cant that this unrest has increased
 since the United States entered tne l war. and even since the American Federation of Labor gave assurancs 1 that labor would do nothing to ham
 per ,le government in the successtu'
 prosecution of the war against Ger
 man autocracy. 1 America today heads the support o' | every one enjoying privileges she ex l tends and 1t is Americas right tc

have that support. The LOYAL Americans who 50 to the front and suffer, and the LOYAL Americans who undergo deprivation at home will not soon forget those who prolong those sufferings by lending encour- agement and aid to the kaiser's spies endeavoring to lead good men and women into acts inimical to interests of the nation as well as their own.

HGHENZOLLERN, HINDENBURG
 6 COMPANY.

Lokal Anzeiger, newspaper of Berlin, is very faceious over the cap- ture of few Americans. After giv- ing our boys a polite good morning and ;eering them bit, the paper winds up the editorial as follows:
 Look here, my boy, here is the big firm of Hindenburg & Co.,. with which you want to compete. Look at its accomplishments and consider whether it would not be better to haul down your sign and engage in some other line. Perhaps your boss, Wilson, will consider this newest line of business before we grab off more of his young people,"
 Lokal Anzeiger is of course excused for emitting the name of the senior member of this firm. To treat him with even the semblance of sportive- ness would doubtless cause it's editor and publisher to spend few unhappy months or even years behind prison walls: to say nothing of the suppress sion and confiscation of his paper.
 Bit we, over here, are not so re- stricted, and it is because we never intend ourselves to know such fear of man, firm or governmental author ities that we are in this war. It Is exactly this big trust" against the rights of the peoples Of the world that has brought us into action. Ho- henzollern. Hindenburg & Co.,, is not only an infamous orga nization prey ing upon the wealth of the people, but it extends it's nefarious opera tions against the liberties and even the lives of the individuals. To pre- vent world of this all-enslav- ing organization the rest of the world has taken up arms, not so much against the poor victims writhing within it's tentacles, but against the predatory robbers and butchers com 1 posing the directorate.
 In America we jail the scamps who conspire against trads and property.
 When the conspiracy reaches the l point of controlling our civil liberty
 or depriving even the humblest of
 life, we send the mHrderers to the gallows.
 1 Hohenzollern, Hindenburg & Co. 2 has, thru stupendous and iniquitous trust they have formed. not only con.
 spirea against the property. liberty and life of the people, but thru
 this conspiracy has actually taken these precious possessions from mil. lions According to our law. the law
 of the people, the law of liberty, humanity and civilization, they are ! guilty of heinous crimes, and like an animal dangerous to tle community, must be exterminated.
 They bid our boys look at the proud | sign of this infamous trust. They will observe it we'll. Others of our boys will also see it, and still others-yes, | in thousands and in millions. if nee. essary; but with each look the sign
 will le lower and lower until even 1 tually it will be seen humbled to the dust Then, when these internationa, bandits of Big Business" nave been jailed or executed for their crimes, and the business of their concern is
 being operated by others who vii!
 obey the natural laws of decency, ! justice and humanity. our boys will
 return to their own pursuits, happy
 and safe in the knowledge that the
 hunt they have. had has resulted in ridding the world of ferocious and , dange, ous beast.
