Methods of reducing the consump-
tion of sugar in soft drinks have
been worked out by the bureau of
chemistry, department of agricul-
ture, which Is now cooperating with
producers throughout the U. S. The
bureau has prepared directions for
making soft drinks which include
formulas that utilize substitute sweet
materials such as corn sirup (ordin-
airy glucoge), corn sugar, maltose
sirup, honey and high grade refin-
er's sirup. BY following these dl-
rectiohs which are being distributed
among bottlers the actual sugar con-
tent in soft drinks can be cyt to so
per cent or less. A saving of approx
imately $4,000 tons of sugar annual
ly is thus possible. 1t is estimated
and at the same time the customary
taste and quality of the beverage
car be preserved II is estimated
that there ere 10000 producers of
soft drinks in the U. s., employing
100000 workers, and having a to-
lal capitalization of s25O,O00.00O.

A majority Of the growing vege-
table seed crops are in good condi-
rlon, according to reports Just re-
ceived from many large growers N
the United States by the seed re-
porting service Of the bureau Of
markets. Growers in the east and
middle west almost uniformly report
ed on June 2S good growing condi-
tiCns. Some failures have been re-.
ported for some crops in certain sec
lions, particularly California and the
Pacific northwest, where hot weather
during June damaged many crops
severely. Crops growing in the river
districts OF California have suffered
the least from drought and the pros
poets in these sections are that fair
to normal seed crops will be harvest

the western section will result in
damage ranging from slight dam

local conditions.

Canned fish bait is nothing new to
devotees of the art of angling but
canned grasshoppers for that pur-
pose is an innovation. In the Goose
and Burney valleys in Shasta county
the voracious othopterous pest,
highly appreciated by the wiley
trout, has stripped hundreds of acres
of grain and meadow lands Of all
vegetation. Chas. H. Newell Of San
francisco conceived the idea of trap
ring the h6ppers and preserving by
canning and placing them on the
market for fishermen very much in
the manner Of salmon eggs. Newell
has built a funnel-shaped contrlY-
ance set on sled close to the ground
and is successfully trapping them IN

To relieve as much as possible tho
unprecedented demand for leather,
the department of agriculture is urg-
ing that slaughtered and dead ami
mails on the farm be skinned with
great care. Usually the skinning Of
animals on the farm and the care OF
hides is not given a great amount
voting a little extra time and care
iessness many hides are cut and scor-
ed when they are removed. By de-
voted a little extra time and care
in skinning animals to make sure
that they are not cut or scored the
farmer can increase their value on
the market several times. In tan
ming hides scores show very plainly
and in many cases one-half of the
thickness of the leather is lost by
such defects.

There is an increased interest in
growing sheep both for mutton and
wool, according to a report just re-
csived by the department of agricul-
ture from the sheep extension hus-
bandman in Indiana. This feeling,
according to specialists of the de-
partment, prevails in many other
states. The increase in production
is being obtained from the saving of
eve lambs and the introduction of
good stock from the western range.

Visit Armory Where Local Batta-
lion Gives Demonstration
OF Modern Warfare

Under the eyes of the chairmen and
members of the military committees Of
the senate and house of the Hawaiian
legislature, the national guard battal-
ion of the First Regiment, commanded
by Major Merle johnson, gave a dem
onstration last night of how the sol

mess end of bayonet.
The armory was lighted from cellar
to turret in honor of the visit of the
territorial lawmak ers, and the building
resounded with the sound of stamping
feet, but more particularly with. the
yells of the civilian soldiers as they
rushed across the floor, jabbed their
baybnets into the Hun men of straw,
gave them q, butt hit for luck, and then
spell on info No Mans Land at the
end of the hall.
The lbayOnets did fearful execution
with the enemy and in a short time
"innards were strewn all over the
floor, but not man of the guard was
lost. There was but one casualty. One
of the soldiers, eager to thrust his bay
onet clear through the enemy, lost his
feet in the effort. That is, they slid
from under him and he landed on his
back, but stuck the, enemy anyhow
impaled him-and held his bayonet
there until he rose and ran on to join
his yelling comrades.
Even the first regiment band went
into action. Every horn and clarionot
was in fine condition, and from its fort
, fled position in the second story, the
organization raked the hall from end
to end with it's melodies, the notes
mingling on good terms with the yells

DESIGN TO CURB
 ALLDISLOYALTY

Melbourne, May - A regulation designed to suppress Sim Fein and other disloyal movements in Australia has been issued by the government under the War Precautions Act. The governments action followed repre- sentations by a delegation of citizens who informed the Premier, William M. Hughs, that the Sim Fein colors had been displayed during a proces- sion here and also at Sydney.
 The regulation provides for the punishment of any person who advo- cates or encourages disloyalty or hos tility to the. British Empire or to it; cause in the present war; anyone who advocates dismemberment of the En- pire or any person who wears the symbol or displays the flag of the Sinr Fein society.
