The council, representing $4,000

Of a vast amount of perishable fruits

An Atlantic Port, Aug. 1.-The Sara

A deep hole in the transports port

CARROTS, The DOG.

"At the top Of HILL" said Dad0y,I
there was a farmhouse, and In tnarl
house there were two little girls
named Agnes and May, and small
dog named Carrots.
"Just why the dog had been named
Carrots no one knew: but he seemedl
to like his name and always jumped!
and spoke in his dog way when anyone
used his name.
"Now every morning Carrots had
his work to do. Down at the foot or
the hill there were many small sticks
from the outskirts of the woods, and
these sticks did splendidly for kin
dlings. Carrots knew that several bas-
kets filled with sticks were brought up
by the farmer every day, and he all
ways liked to do his work, too.
$50 in the morning Carrots, with
a leap and bound, as he got out of
the house, rushed down the hill, and
brought up three sticks in his mouth.
HE was such small dog and he
always carried three sticks, whichl
were usually quite long-as long as
he was. He would leave the sticks in
the kitchen and bark, so his master
would say:
'sGood doggie, fine doggie.'
Sand then off he'd go for another
trip. After he had taken this trip sew
eral times the farmer would say:
"sGood doggie, fine doggie. No more,I
Carrots!' And Carrots would know
that his work was over and that hel
mustn't bring up more wood. For
the farmer did not want to tire Car
rots. He was such plucky little dog
and would never have said or shown
that he was tired.
'sIt was hot day and Agnes and
May had packed a picnic basket. They
were going to take their lunch down
by creek which was cool. There
were great big trees overhanging the
brook and their mother had promised
them that they could go in wading.
"sCOme, Carrots!' said Agnes.
"'Come alongp said May.
"Carrots did not need to be urged
He was ready at once. He barked and
he jumped up and down. What fun 1T
would be when his two little mistresses
said COME in such a way. He knew
it meant picnic or swim, and Car
rots was warm, too.
"Off they stapted-just the three Of
them-Agnes, May and Carrots. The
little girls walked along rather slowly
they were so warm, but Carrots
scampered about with glee.

first thing they did was to take off

YEARS WAR BUDGET
FIRST PERIOD OF WAR TO COST
$1o,735, s07 900.
War Tax Bill Is Revised--Loans Extra
and More Than $6,5oo, 100000
Added Revenue.

Washington, July 30.-Secretary Nc
Adoo, submitting estimates to congress
for the new war budget, said the first
year Of the war promised now to cost
SIC, 1886, 1907, 900, exclusive Of loans to
the allies, making 1t necessary to raise
more than $6,5OO,00O,0OO additional
revenue.
The war tax bill as revised by the
senate finance committee provides for
only little more than $1,000, 100000
In additional revenue. The $5,0OO,0OO,-
600 discrepancy probably will be made
up partly by increasing the bills
levies and partly by bond issue.
Besides the estimate of more than
$4,000, 100000 additional expenses sub
mitted by the war department, Mr.. Nc
Adoo presented estimates from other
departments totaling upward of 81 ,OO0.-
100000 All these estimates are for
expenditures during the year ending
next July, and are In addition to more
than $3,0OOO0O,000 already appropri-
ated since the war began.
The largest items In the estimates
are $350,0000O0 for the shipping board
and $288, 100000 for the navy. For the
food survey to be made under pending
legislation $11, 100000 was requested.
Loans to our allies and possible
emergencies may take the total cost Of
the first year Of the war up to SIS, O00,-
100000 or possibly $20,OO0,0O0,O 900.

REASONS FOR RAISING STOCK
While owner Is Resting and Sleeping

age Is Utilized.

There are a thousand and one rea-
sons why we should raise live stock
on the farm, and here are a few OF
them:
Because, while the owner is resting
and sleeping, live stock are working
for him. They are grazing in the
fields, eating hay In the barns, or di-
costing the food they have eaten,
whether they are receiving any atten-
ton from their owners or not.
Because live stock utilize the rough
er kinds of heritage on the farms,

BEGINS IRON RULE
KERENSKY RESTORES DEATH
PENALTY IN RUSSIAN ARMY.
Loyal ArtilIerymen Train Cannon on
Whole Division of the Eleventh
Army.

London, July %. - Kerensky and
Korniloff, Russia's men of the hour,
met anarchy and disloyalty with blood
and iron.
Dispatches from Petrograd leave no
room for doubt that Kerensky's dicta-
torship is to be a real dictatorship;
that he will sanction and approve ex-
IRENE measures when necessary to re-
store a semblance of order out OF
chaos which for time seemed to
threaten the complete disintegration
Of the Russian armies and, indeed, the
Russian state.
Four outstanding things were in dis
patches from Petrograd, things which
held out promise, in the opinion OF OBJ
servers here, that Kerensky, with the
aid Of his military commanders, OF
whom Korniloff stands out, might yet
"pull Russia through" These things
were:
1. Kerensky has acquired complete
ascendency over the WOrkmen's and
soldiers committee, so that it now
makes no attempt to issue DEGREES.
His command of the provisional gov
eminent is supreme. The ministers he
has gathered around him have agreed
completely so far with all his propos-
ais and are supporting them to the ut
most.
2. His first act has been to restore
the death penalty for treason. This
action, taken with the consent of his
ministers, Is designed to wipe out dis
affection in the army which has made
it's commanders powerless and which
has enabled the Germans to make their
gains in Galicia after the Russian army
had apparently regained it's power as
a war machine.
8. A censorship of dubious newspa-
pers has been established. The papers
affected were guilty Of disseminating
appeals to disloyalty among the troops.
The new order provides for the sus-
pension Of such papers.
4. AS a result the Russian army Is
again showing evidences of resistance.
The Germans continue to strike in Ga
licia, but in the Carpathians and Rou-
mania the ssian-Roumanian forces
have opened a counter-offensive APP
parently designed to tighten the pres
sure on Korniloff's hard-pressed le-
gions, and has met with considerable
initial successes.
