MAKING THE WEATHER.

Among all the forces that combine to
drive the monotony from the farmers life
and keep him busy, the weather is the
mightiest and most uncertain. Since agri-
culture began, attempts have been made
Ito control the weather, ranging from the
most superstitious to the most carefully
scientific. The anxiety for favorable
weather has produced great host who
profess to be able to control the elements.
That this species is not extinct is evidenced
by the warning that the department Of
agriculture at Washington has found it
necessary to issue to farmers.
Man has completely failed in his often
sive war on the weather. Modern inven-
tons, such as the airplane propeller on the
|25-foot tower driving heated air over the
trees through a funnel-shaped machine
and shooting cannon at the sky, are as un-
successful at the ancient tom-tom method.
Only two methods of controlling the
weather have thus far proved practicable,
and they are both defensive measures, one
against frost, the other against hail.
Burning from so to 100 small fires to
an acre on frosty night will heat the air
sufficiently to save an orchard as fruit
growers in California have proved. And
in 1896 an Austrian invented cannon
that will break up hailstorms by discharg-
ing heated gas, smoke, and smoke rings,
and so distributing the atmosphere that it
forgets to hail. No other method is sue
cessful.
It is best to heed the governments warn
ing. 1t is watching eagerly for new and
successful methods, and if it finds any, it
will share the discovery.

A BIG CHANCE FOR MR.. HUGHES

Public opinion in Brazil expresses it.
self as highly gratified at the attitude Of
the United States toward Brazils celebra-
ton of century of political independence.
AS one important organ puts it: 1T is ap-
parent that Uncle Sam has no intention
of playing the part of wall flower at
BraziPs birthday party"
Naturally enough chief coment is at
racted by the fact that the American sec
rotary of state heads the delegation which
seeks to demonstrate courteous interest in
the Brazilian jubilee. Speculation con-
corning his retinue voices the wistful hope
that his train will be graced by an admiral
and general, but there is open rejoicing
that Mr.. Hughes, whose statesmanlike
capacity is rated high in Latin America,
where his initiative in settling the Tacna-
africa dispute is still warmly remembered,
is to dedicate the monument commemorate
ing the American spirit of cordiality to-
ward Brazil. AS for Mr.. Hughes one-half
of his task is done before he arrives. The
atmosphere is one of receptive kindness;
his message will be easy to deliver and
should be long-lived one.

furthered for him by the apparent inten-
tons of the Brazilians This is nothing
less than to bring back to the people of
the United States some convincing and
Illuminating impressions of the Importance
of Latin American countries to the future
prosperity and welfare of the United
States. it is only winthin comparatively
recent years that the vague traditions of
revolution and idleness have begun to
fade from the general mind in favor of
the real existence of industry and ambi-
ton. Even today the people of this coun-
try are all too little informed on the poten-
tial future of the Americas South as we'll
as North, and their inevitable relations
one with the other. Nothing less than an
empire is rising in that great country Of
which Brazil is leading power.
Secretary Hughes, having cemented our
good wills to his hosts may do further
service to his own people by some fine in
terpretative messages and can consider
that alone service for which any Ameri-
can statesman shall be gratefully remem-

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO
September 2, 1897


The hauling of ore from the AIDE
laide copper mines to the concen-
trating plant at Golconda has COM
menced. Ten four-horse teams
have been put to work, each of
which hauls about four tons of ore
in one wagon. The number will be
increased when the plant is started
up, and the contract involves the
delivery of 100 tons of ore daily.
Seven hundred and fifty head of
wild horses were recently killed at a
roundup on White river, White Pine
county. The horses were driven
into corral made for the purpose
all worthless stock was then cut and
driven into another Enclosure in
which the shooting or killing took
place. No horses were destroyed
whose owners were not at first no
titled and given an opportunity to
reserve all that would be of service
to him. 1t is the intention to repeat
this process of Kidding the range OF
valueless stock later in the year,
and at which time several hundred
more vi be destroyed.
Miss Minnie Choate left this
morning for Kennedy where her
school opens next Monday.

EUROPE VS.. AMERICA

Chairman Martin B. Fadden, of the
house appropriations committee, just back
from a study of financial and industrial
conditions in Europe, says he was most
forcibly impressed by the willingness OF
workers to accept reduced pay in the gen.
eral readjustments of affairs following the
war. His deduction from his observations
as a whole is that the people of this coun-
try are today living in paradise of pros
perity in comparison with the burdens the
masses of the population in foreign lands
are called upon to bear. The contrast af-
fords no particularly fresh knowledge; ;
there is, nevertheless, reason for reflection
when men in leading positions in public
life recall the facts that have come to their
intimate attention.
REIMBURSEMENT is worldwide matter,
not something limited to the boundaries Of
any one country. When the workers OF
America think Of the conditions here in
comparison with conditions in the most
favored of lands across the sea, however,
they should, in ir-mindedness, accept
the working of economic laws with respect
to the change from initiation to normally
with special good grace. There was a
short time back serious unemployment
situation in the United States, but nothing
remotely comparable to the situation that
England has been experiencing. The re-
adjustment is being made here without the
distress that has afflicted others. In the
light of this fact and the paradise of
prosperity" that now prevails it is peril
nent to inquire whether this paradise is
not worth safeguarding and preserving.
Prosperity does not mean that everything
shall be keyed up to the wartime level
living costs can not be readjusted and
wages stay at their artificial peak. A re-
fusal to see the light and an exaggerated
and false selfinterest that blinds men to
the immutability of economic as well as
natural laws can knock the props from I'M
der the most prosperous structure ever
reared. The profiteer and the group which
does not meet labor on fair and square
basis is equally dangerous. Must is be
necessary to enact new and radical laws
to beat these facts into the hard heads?

MISSIONARIES OF TRADE

How Robert Skinner, American consul
in the days of President Roosevelt, hung
the American flag around the shoulders
of a proud Abyssinian chieftain and Sc
cured a treaty of amity and commerce with
willy old King Menelik, is a bit of history
very properly resurrected by writer in
'"The Nations Business"
At a time when the progressive
thought of our business interests is turned
to the development of world trade it is
we'll to bring to attention the Importance
of the consular service. They take the
flag of our country into regions where it
is little known; they establish relations
with foreign peoples, learn their ways,
their needs and their desires and, in re-
ports to our government, translate their
findings into terms of opportunity for our
people who would do business abroad
This is service of high order, demand
ing fine intelligence, great tact, broad
training, and general ability of kind to
command splendid remuneration. The
story of Robert SINNERS achievement in
Abyssinia illustrates the possibilities Of
such service. In all the vast area Of that
country, inhabited by 100000 people,
the American flag had never been seen.
Consul Skinner, accompanied only by a
little squad of American marine officers
and sailors, made the long journey bearing
simple gifts to the king and the draft of a
treaty. And with such tact and courtesy
did he accomplish his mission as complete
ly to win the favor of the African monarch
and gain for the United States advantages
of great value.
This is a sort of service that demands
governmental recognition in a very worthy
way. But unfortunately the government
has not, in general, put the proper estimate
upon it. Few consular positions carry pay
which will attract the highest type of ap-
plicants. IF the United States is to become
a world power commercially, the govern
ment can not afford to neglect the fullest
development of the consular service.
