COMMUNISTS
PLAN REUNION
With AvoWed Purpose Of
Fomenting Revolution

Steps Are Being Taken to
Guard Against the

Washington, ID. c., June 25.-Evi
dence of the formation of united com.
munist party by the consolidation OF
the communist labor party and the
communist party, with the avowed
purpose of fomenting a revolution
against the existing government, was
received to-day at the department of

Steps are being taken, officials said
to guard against the spread of the prop

A communist publication in the

formation of the new party at secret
convention attended by delegates from
the two old organizations.
The program of the party the pub
LEGATION says, declares that the final
struggle between the workers and the
capitalists, between exploited and ex-
ploiter. will take the form of civil war
and that it is the function of the unit
ed communist party systematically to
familiarize the working class with the
necessity of armed insurrection as the
only means through which the capital.

YAoUI "ToM-ToM- TOM"
Being Heard Outside Confines of Sono-
ra, Mexico.

Mexico City, June 24.-Once agar
the monotonous but ominous tom
tom tom" of the Yaqui Indians is be
ing heard outside the confines OF So
nora.
General Plutarco Elias Gales. pro
.isional secretary of war and marine
for the new revolution, is taking with
him more than a thousand of 'Sonara s
finest" on his l,600-mile trip from
Aqua Prieta to Mexico City to assume
the duties 'of his new office.
The stunning of the Aaqui drums
long has been cause of uneasiness
among many OF Mexico's other soldiers.
Bearing the reputation Of being a fear
less and ferocious fighter, the Yaqul
has frequently been said TO be able TO
put his enemy to fight by the mere
sound of his burro-skin "tambor.'
There is another and less sinister
side, however, to the life of Yaqui
soldier. He carries his home life with
him to the battlefield His wife, his
children, his birds, all form part of his
impedimenta.
When not in action, the Yaqui war
riors do not present formidable figures.
They may be distinguished from other
tribes chiefly by their peculiar copper
hue and the band of bright red they
wear around their hats. The routine
of their camp life is quiet and orderly.
The Yaqui lad is reared in an stmos
phere of war Should his father fall in
battle. the boy picks up the ancestral
rifle and begins the realization of his
martial destiny.

DIRECT SELLING OF GRAIN.
Is Being Investigated in Behalf of
Illinois Farmers.

Chicago, June 23.RDirect selling of
grain by Illinois farmers instead of
through the Chicago board of trade is
now being investigated by the Iii
nois Agricultural association and ii is
sounding sentiment in farming com
munities of the state In the nine
congressional districts where it has
preached the proposal, w. G. Eekhart,
director OF the associations grain mar.
keting department, reports the meet
tings were unanimously for it.
The Illinois Agricultural association,
state farm bureau federation, re-
ports membership of $4,000 and is
operating this year on a budget of
S3s0,000.
d. Q. Thompson, secretary of the
association. said in explanation of the
proposal that. the association is now
holding a series of meetings through
its grain marketing department in ev.
cry congressional district in the state.
Their object is to consider plans for
improving the market of grain, which
in Illinois is chiefly corn and oats
"There are now 700 farmer owned
elevators in the state" continued the
Agricultural association executive.
I'VE feel that there is decided room
for more and are encouraging their
establishment. Their advantage for
the farmer. among other things, is that
they save him the profits on handling
grain that private owned elevators
turn to private individuals.
Farmer elevators also make COM
petitive market at the shipping point,
where a. private owned elevator basing
monopoly may set its own price,
eve are considering in connection
with the farmer elevators the posi-
bility of a farmer owned brokerage
house for handling the grain sold
through these elevators. At the pres
ent time the farmers elevators han
die 81 to 20 per cent of the grain sold
in Illinois. In time am convinced
they will handle 90 to 95 per cent of
all Illinois corn and oats sold
"A farmer brokerage house would !
mean that instead of sending grain to |
the terminals the farmers would be J
able 10 sell direct to the big buyers. |
to feeders in the south and TO the /
export trade"

Estimates There Is at Least
One Rat for Every Per-
son in United States

Washington, ID. c., June 25.- Calling
attention to the discovery of bubonic
plague in several American and Mexi.
can gulf ports and renewing his warn
ing regarding the introduction of the
plague from Mediterranean ports
which are known to be infected, Sur
geon General Cumming to-day urged
communities throughout the country
and especially along the coast to inau-
qurate rat determination campaigns.
According to estimates by the public
health service there is at least one rat
Tor every person in the United States.
The annual upkeep per rodent is com
puted as $3.50 in Great Britain, St2O
in Denmark and 81 on France, The
depredations of rats in the United
States will very probably exceed the
estimate for Great Britain. One half
cent day is considered conservative,
but even on this computation it costs
the United States Sls0,000,000 a year
to support its rat population. This does
not include mice.
