 There was not much in the days news to encourage any change of sentiment on the part of traders. Weekend review of bushes authorities indicated hesi- tant attitude on the part of buyers in the principal centers.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET

Chicago, Aug 4-Efforts to induce farmers to hold back their grain had much to do with bringing about a ma terial upturn today in the price of wheat.

Corn gained 5-sc and oats 3-sc O 1-2 to 1-2 c 5-S. Provisions ranged from 1Oc decline to five cents advance.
 Wheat finished at nearly the best prices of the day. with traders giving their attention to talk from influential quarters emphasizing benefits which it was said producing and mercantile in- terests would obtain through a slowing up of the rural marketing of grain. Previous sellers seemed to be especially impressed, and from the outset were conspicuous on the buying side. Export interests, too, were active in purchasing, taking 725,000 bushels here and 800, ,00O bushels at the seaboard.
 Car shortage and need of coal attract ed increasing notice as bullish factors in the wheat market, and an uppturn in wheat quotations at Liverpool despite

How Shipping Board
Cuts Their Expenses

Mr.. Elmer Schlesinger, general
counsel of the Shipping Board, has
been telling the House Appropria-
tons Committee how the Shipping
Board is cutting down expenses.
A list of Shipping Board employees
and their present salaries was re-
Gently published in these columns, in
Guiding two employees at $4,000 a
year each, one at $30,000 two at
$4,000, seven at $4,000, fifteen at
$1,000, nineteen at 100000 and hun
dreds Of others at salaries ranging
from $4,000 down to $500
1t does not appear from Mr..
Schlesinger's testimony that any of
these salaries were reduced or abol-
ished. When the Shipping Board
wishes to economic it knows at
which end to begin-at least this is
the way Mr.. Schlesinger says they
are reducing expenses:
"Mr. Chairman. we have been cut
ting down our expense as much as we
can. For instance, we recently sent
man in our New York office who
has cut down all the stenographers
in that office. He has cut them down
think from $3.50 to 800 a month.
We have cut down all the steno-
graphic force and the messenger
force"
Doubtless Mr.. Lasker has saved
enough in reducing the salaries of
stenographers and messengers to pay
at least a part of the salary of an
other high priced special attorney, or
another director of a bureau of in
formation to send out society col
umns to the press.

The following statement is issued
by Collector of Internal Revenue,
burns Poe, for the District of Wash
ington:
With the repeal by the revenue
act of 1921 of the so-called luxury
tax" on articles of mems and wom-
ems wearing apparel and other
changes in tax legislation, the bu-
reau of internal revenue has issued
new regulations (47 and 49, relat
ing respectively to the excise tax on

tain articles-automob and acces
series, cameras, candy, fire arms, CT
gar and cigarette holders, liveries
hunting garments, carpets, rugs,
trunks, etc.-and the excise tax on
works of art and jewelry.
The principal changes in the latter
taxes are that the tax on works OF
art is reduced from 10 to per cent
and that the tax on iewelry and SIM
liar articles, which remains at 5 per
cent no longer includes gold or silver
ornamented glasses and spectacles.
The tax on works of art attaches on
all sales except the original sale by
the artist, a sale to an educational
institution or public art museum
and sales by dealers for resale.
While the tax on musical instru-
ments has been repealed, certain in
struments such as comets, clarinets,
cts, if made of ornamented with sill
yer or other precious metal are tax
able.
Fountain pens equipped with gold
pen points are also taxable.
Monthly returns and payments of
the tax on works of art and iewelry
are required of the vendor.
Section 904 of the revenue act of
1921, which in the revenue act of
1918 included the tax on certain arti-
Giles of wearing apparel. provides

durer or importer, who are required
to make monthly returns and pay
ment.
Copies of regulations AZ and as
may be had on personal application
at the office of Collector of Internal
Revenue, Tacoma, Washington, and

kane and Seattle, Washington.

VIEWS ON THE RECOGNITION
OF THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT

ganda and intrigue, because suffi-
cient information was available to
them, as to all other publications, to
indicate specifically what was that
character.
Furthermore, in addition to the
information which was made avail
able about this particular organiza-
ton, the Pan-American Federation
of Labor subsequently made public
protest against intrigue against
Mexico which was being carried on
in the border states of the United
States.
What Mr.. Hearst issaying now is
interesting and it is to be hoped
that all possible information not vet
obtained will be secured and made
public, but however important that
Ray be, the paramount issue at the
present moment is the issue of recog-
milton of the legally -established and
well-conducted government of the
Mexican republic. BY all of the
standards of government in the
diplomatic recognition of one nation
by another Mexico is entitled to rec
ognition as an act of Justice. Abso-
lutely the only persons who can con-
ceivably derive advantage from the
continued Withholding of recognition
are certain American bankers who
hope to drive a better bargain with
Mexiro by creating in Mexico the
impression that they have some in
fluence in determining the matter of
recognition. For everyone else,
whether Mexican or American, the
advantage lies in granting imme-
date recognition.
The paramount reason. however,
dhy recognition should be granted is
that the Mexican government has
comported itself in a manner which
iustifies recognition and the MeXi-
can government is governmen
which holds it's power as the result
of the democratically expressed man.
date of the people.

RARE BIRDS FROM
CHINA IMPORTED

Scores of rare birds imported from
China for the department of game of
the state of Washington were in
cluded in the cargo of the steamship
Eldridge, Capt. Fred w. Brooks,
when she locked at Smith Cove yes
terday afternoon from the Orient.
The birds were brought here by A..
j. Park, acting for the department,
who went to China several months
ago.
Due to an accident there a large
number of birds were lost on the
voyage, but j. W. Kinney, super
visor of the department of game and
game fish, said there were still
enough remaining to make a good
start.
Mr.. Park reported that he had
tremendous difficulties in getting
the consignment out of China, due to
the large amount of routine that he
had to go through.
The absolutely new bird is the
Bamboo partridge, of which 800
were shipped. Mr.. Kinney said they
had no idea of the exact number lost
but probably half. Straw was thrown
into the pens where they were kept,
and it was later discovered this had
been sprayed with a kind of poison
Gus substance, and in eating the
grain among the straw the birds
were poisoned.
The Bamboo partridge is from the
marshes of China, and these were
brought here to be turned loose in
the Puget Sound district. 1t is small
Ter than the Hungarian partridge
and larger than the Bob White, but
it is said to be very fast on the
wing. 1t has bright coloring.
About $50 Chinese pheasants from
the northern and colder parts of
China are in the shipment They
were selected from the cold regions
to be liberated in the colder por-
tions of this state.
Twenty-Five pairs of Spectacle
ducks and Mandarin ducks were
brought along. These are beautiful
ducks, and expected to do we'll here.
The shipment includes a Thibet
ram, from the borderland of Mon
golia and China. 1t lives at an ele-
walton of 10000 feet. Mr.. Park
said it was one of three in captivity
in the world. The other two are in
London. The state department will
keep the ram for Mr.. Park. who
plans to return to China in about
three weeks, and as that time he
hopes to secure a female.
Kinney has recently brought in a
flock of prairie chickens from Mon
tana, and these will be distributed
in Lincoln county and the Big Bend
country east of the mountains, and
in Kittitas county.
The state game department will
have approximately 10000 Chinese
pheasant eggs for distribution to
those who wish to hatch and liber-
ate the birds in their counties
throughout the state. Some of the
county game commissioners are Of
fering $1.00 per bird at two months
of age delivered to the local game
wardens, the state to furnish the
eggs free of charge. The depart
ment will also sell the eggs at So
per dozen to those who wish to raise
birds for commercial purposes.
The department of game and fish
is supported by trust funds derived
from the sportsmen, receiving 1O
per cent of the county license fees

Have You Any Currant
Or GOOseberry Bushes?
Quarantine Issued in County on
Currant and GoOseberry Bushes

Quarantine Issued in County on
Currant and GOOseberry Bushes
A quarantine ordering all black
currants growing in this county to
be destroyed and prohibiting the ship
ment of all five-needled pines, cur
rant or gooseberry bushes within or
from Western Washington, has been
issued by the State Department of
Agriculture to become effective
March l, 1922.
This measure has been deemed
necessary in order to control the
white pine blister rust which was
discovered in the northwestern coun-
ties of the state last fall. The quar-
antine order includes the counties of
Whatcom, San Jauu. Skagit, Island
Snohomsh, King, Kitsap, Mason, JEFF
ferson and Clallam.
White pine blister rust, which has
caused so much damage among the
pines of the east is carried from the
white pine trees to currant and
gooseberry leaves where two stages
of its life are passed. 1t then goes
back to the pines and in the course
of from three to six years it returns
to the currant and gooseberry bushes.
The rust cannot go from one pine
to another, according to George L.
Zundel, extension plant disease spec
ialist of the State College, but has to
go through either of the two bushes
metioned
The stage of the disease that
passes from the currant or goose
berry to the pine tree is very deli
cate and lives only a short time. 1t
is at this time that the disease may
be controlled by the removal Of these
bushes.
In the eastern part of the United
States all currant and gooseberry
plants within 300 yards of white
pine stands are being removed. This
has been found to give complete pro-
lection to the trees.
