SEND BLUE BLOOD
PORKERS TO BRAZIL
WILL BE EXHIBITED AT THE
CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION
AT do DE JANEIRO.

CHICAGO, Ill.-Forty-two porcine
aristocrats, veritable super pigs, with
the perkiest of little tails and double
chins in endless undulations, will be
shipped from New York this month
to the Centennial exposition at Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil.
This prize herd, which is valued at
$4,000, was selected from among 20
of the most carefully bred Poland
China herds in Illinois At the exposi-
ton they will come in competition with
prize swine from all over the world,
including the Brazilian descendants of
prize winning Berkshires imported by
the Brazilian government years ago.
Brazil is destined to rank second to
the United States in swine producing,
in the opinion of Guy H. Hall, direc-
tor of the National Institute Of Pro-
gressive Farming.
1T is important to the worlds food
supply that BraziPs agrarian expan-
sion should be along progressive lines,
said Mr.. Hall. THAT pure bred cattle,
hogs and sheep produce more meat
and more profit to the grower no long
er requires argument Brazil is alive to
the fact and her live stock exhibit will
be one of the greatest ever held. The
Brazilian farmers are more progress
sive than generally understood in this
country They are large buyers of
American farm implements, and in
their vast fields make much use of
American tractors.
Pigs is pigs added Mr.. Hall, but
these Illinois Poland-C hinas are OF
ambassadorial significance. They bring
the breeders of the two countries into
acquaintance, and this is the slow, sure
course of trade expansion"

WOMEN FAILED IN
RECENT PRIMARIES
CANDIDATES TURNED DOWN
IN FIVE STATES. REED VIC
TORY IS A REVERSE.

WASHINGTON, D. CA luckless
week for women politically has just
ended. 1t was a calamitous week for
women aspiring to Office in FIVE states
where primaries were held, and many
male candidates favored by the wo-
men bit the dust at the polls. Particu-
larly tantalizing to women generally
was the victory of James A. Reed, of
Missouri, in obtaining denomination to
the senate.
1t was mournful week because up
until then the new voter in politics
had been pictured as an invincible
force. Had not the women put over
Beveridge in Indiana, Pinchot in Penn
sylvania and Brookhart in Iowa? 1t
has been generally accepted that they
had, and the women were quite set up
about it. Also one of the two major
parties had actually nominated two
women for the senate, Mrs. Peter Ole
sen, of Minnesota, and Mrs. Ben
Hooper, of Wisconsin.
But Lady Luck frowned felinely up
on the politically ambitious of her sex
last week and the candidacy OF Izetta
Jewell Brown for the senate in West
Virginia came to a sad end along with
a lot of other feminine candidates for
Office, state and national,
1t is true that in Oklahoma Miss
Alice Robertson won denomination
but that could hardly be considered
as a victory for the sex, since wo-
mems organizations sought her re-
nomination because she had not been
amenable to their ideas of legislation
favoring women.
Much Bitterness.
In Virginia the patron of the League
of Women Voters, Westmoreland Da-
Wis, aspiring to be senator, lost out at
the primaries.
Bitterness and intensity marked
many of the campaigns in which wo-
men were especially interested. Prac-
teal politicians are cycling them envi-
ously to see how women are going
to take the defeat of favored candi-
dates. Are they going to be good los
ers or bad? To the mind of the prac-
teal politician bad loser is one who
scratches his ticket at the general cleo
ton should the candidate he favored
fail to secure the nomination at the
primaries. Are women going to be
good sports and stick by the party?"
they ask.
women are more apt to stick by
their principles rather than by their
party" answers Mrs. Minnie Fisher
Cunningham, executive secretary of
the League of Women Voters "Wo-
men do not make a fetish of party, !"
she says.
woman has never been a sporting
animal" is the way Mrs. Emily Blair,
the leader of the democratic women,
analyses her sex. They do not take
their defeat as a joke. One cannot be
sportsmanlike about the defeat OF good
or the victory of evil Men may make
politics sport as an antidote for in
tolerance or a salve for rancor Wo-
men take politics too seriously to view
it as a sport"

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The un-

l '1nif for determination. The status OF

S nna,tion-which in that district would
b ll"I e0uiyalent to election--are involved

olO' candidate. has found that in no

~ P case is different from all others in

o ,m@s district voted for man
.bsy knew to be dead at the time OF
the balloting. In contests between
majority and minority candidates
. bsretofore, such as the Newberry-
Ford contest in Michigan, death has
not been involved.
Died Day Before Primary.
Representative Lemuel Padgett, OF
Tennessee, died in Washington the
dav before the Tennessee primaries.
H. H. had represented the Seventh dis
t+;ct for p wears, and was apparently
i nnairaid of the opposition OF Judge
w c Salmon for the democratic
ANIMATION. The fact that Mr.. Padgett
was renominated, although dead, justi-
4 he's the assumption that he would have
won more handily had he lived.
Nevertheless, the news OF the Padg-
EFT death quickly spread over his dis
trict. and the Padgett forces, not wish
inc to have Judge Salmon beneht
through the death of his rival, sent
word down the line to vote Tor
Padgett, anyway.
Salmon Supporters Raise Point.
The primary election was held while
n the body OF Representative daSSl'
was en- route home for burial and tor
the twelfth time Padgett carried the
district. Now the supporters OF Judge
Salmon contend that a dead man can
not be nominated for congress; that
no such person as Lemuel P. Padgett
lived on election day, and that Judge
Salmon, the surviving candidate, was
the only man in the race and there
fore was nominated by the ballots cast
for him. 1t is on this point that a
unique controversy no doubt must be
fought out.
1t is said here the object OF the
Padgett forces in keeping his name on
the ballot after his death was for the
very end against which Judge Sal
mon complains. They did not want
Salmon nominated and preferred, by
the nomination of Padgett, to throw
the whole matter of Padgett's sue
cessor up to the executive committee
oi the district That executive COM
mittee, it is said, is unfriendly to Judge
Salmon and will not designate him as
the democratic candidate.

BODIES FLOAT IN WRECKAGE
AT Swallow, CHINA. WIND
FOLLOWED BY FLOOD.

HONG KONG.-Wednesday nights
typhoon at Swallow, $50 miles north
Of here, was the worst in the history
of that city. Dead bodies are floating
amid the wreckage everywhere in the
harbor. Nearly every house in the city
was damaged. A food following the
wind drove inhabitants from their
homes.
The storm broke at 1880 O'Clock at
night and gathered force until day
break, when it subsidized, leaving death
and destruction in the city and harbor.
The death list is placed at $4,000.
Hundreds of native craft along the
water front were wrecked and their
occupants drowned, while practically
every house ashore felt the effect OF
the terrific wind.
Several godowns, or warehouses,
were badly damaged, and their stocks
of merchandise wholly or partially
ruined. Trees were torn up by the
roots, telegraph poles were snapped
off, roofs were carried away, and en-
tire houses laid fiat in the pathway of
the storm.

THOUSANDS ARE DYING
IN CHINESE PROVINCE
SEVEREST FAMINE IN YEARS
REAPS HEAVY TOLL IN THE
YUAN CHOW DISTRICT.
YOUTHS TURN ROBBERS

Starving Children Join Outlaw Bands
Engaged in Burning, Staying and
Pillaging. Funds Needed for Work
Of Relief.
PEKIN.-The most severe famine
in many years is reaping a toll OF
thousands of lives in the Yuan Chow
district, province of Human, about $50
miles southwest of Hankow. This dis
trict can be reached only by junks.
Starving children are joining robber
bands, and are burning, Staying and
pillaging.
Hermann Brecker, conducting the
China Inland mission, writes that 8OO
to 1000 die daily in his immediate dis
trict. The MISSION each day gathers 70
to 80 bodies in the city streets, giving
them a decent burial. 1t has camp
of 800 persons and is feeding and
clothing them, but is unable to rescue
any more owing to lack of funds.
Hunger Increasing Daily.
The famine is increasing daily and
more than 5000 children. are starving
in the district and are certain to die
unless food is forthcoming immedi-
ately. Mr.. Brecker writes;
How often we see a woman lying
dead in the streets with two or three
children sitting beside her. We ought
to take at least 1000 children from
the streets, but are lacking in funds.
The famine is producing more robbers
daily. Forty or more times we have
had to intercede with the robbers. We
have in the district thousands of rob-
bers, making travel unsafe. Many ia
mine children are joining the robbers.
| have seen many famine children to
II years old with big knives across
their backs. These young robbers are
worse than the old ones They are al
ways burning houses and killing peo-
pie. About 400 families are homeless
because hundreds of these children
have burned their homes just outside
of the city walls.
Worse Than in Russia.
"Of the 900 children we have taken
off the street we will have to send 400
back after a month They will die or
become robbers.
considering the area the famine is
worse than Russia. There is hope for
a SO per cent harvest, but unless rain
falls we will lose the harvest for the
third successive year. The harvest is
in September, but it will not help the
thousands of sufferers who cannot
hold out, We will have to continue
relief work indefinitely. Besides the
900 children in the orphanage we
have one place containing more than
100 infants who were thrown into the
streets"

THE INCOME TAX BILL
IS PASSED BY HOUSE
GEORGIA WILL HAVE DOUBLE
TAX SYSTEM IF SENATE
APPROVES MEASURE.
A THREE PER CENT LEVY
In Addition to an Advalorem Tax of
Four Per Cent. Property Classifi-
cation Defeated. Other Tax Meas
ures to Be Considered.

By vote OF 141 to 4S the house
passed the income tax bill, and if the
measure runs the gauntlet Of the SEN
ate Georgia will have a double system
of taxation, and many predict that the
already heavy burden of the taxpayer
will be increased.
The bill received three more votes
than was needed to obtain a consti-
tutional two-thirds majority Repre-
sentative George Carswell, who framed
the measure and who led the long
fight for its adoption, issued state
ment in which he declared the bill
would bring in net increase of ST.
100000 in the states annual income.
Representative Parks, of Terrell, and
Representative Moye, of Randolph,
voted against the bill. Mr.. Moye de-
livered a very forceful argument
against it. His contention was that
the legislature ought to devise ways
and means of economizing in all di-
rections instead Of adding to the tax
burden of the people.
The bill imposes a tax of per cent
on net incomes. The ad valorem tax
is reduced from mills to 4 mills and
is allowed as an exemption on the in
come tax. Incomes of single persons
will, in addition, carry ST 900 exemp-
tions and of married persons or heads
of families exemptions of $500 with
an additional exemption OF $500 for
each minor or dependent member of
the family. The bill is a constitutional
amendment and if passed by the sen-
ate must be submitted to the people
for ratification.
Classification of Property Tax.
The classification tax bill by Mr.
Arnold, OF Clay, was defeated by
vote of liz to 65, this being the vote
in favor of the bill, but as it is con-
stitutional amendment the bill had to
obtain 1873 votes in its favor before be-
ing passed.
The bill provides for the segrega-
ton and classification of property for
ad valorem taxation. 1t is similar IN
some respects to the law recently
passed in Kentucky. Representative
Arnold contended this bill would reach
certain classes of intangible property
not now reached under the present
system. He cited the success OF the law
in other states and pointed out that the
bill would fit in with the present taxa
ton system.
Adverse Report on Drink Bills.
Three bills taxing soft drinks, both
bottled and at fountains, and syrups,
together with a bill taxing motion
picture houses one cent for each ten
cents or addition thereof, were re-
ported unfavorably by the ways and
means committee of the house.
The. first bill disapproved by the
committee provides a tax OF one cent
on every FIVE cents or addition there
of, which applies to vendors OF soft
drinks whether bottled or otherwise.
The next bill is to increase taxes on
the bottlers of soft drinks, calling for
tax of 80 cents per gallon on syrup
used in manufacturing bottled drinks.
