INCOME FROM
MILK SHOWS
BIG INCREASE

American Farmers cash income
from milk during July increased
$16000,000 over July 1885, accord
ing to the Milk Industry founda-
ton.
This AL per cent rise in July
over the same month a year ago
brings the 1896 total farm income
from milk to $812,000,000 for the
seven months period, topping the
1885 seven months period by $44,-
100000
Part of the unusually large July
increase was due to farmers re-
ceiving substantially larger unit
prices for their milk as result
OF the drouth. The higher prices
have helped farmers offset high
er feed costs resulting from the
drouth.
Since feed prices are expected
to remain quite high for the re-
mainder of the year and until
the pasture season early in 1887,
dairy farm milk income should
continue to show increases, the
statement said.
July figures made a new high
since 1880. The seventh months
total for 1886 is 1892, 100000 great
er than the same period for 1882,
striking example of the rise in
farm cash from milk since depreS-
sion lows.

NEW YORK, Sept. II. UP
Nails driven into an electric cable
by saboteurs caused one fire on
the U. S. cruiser indianapolis,
Capt. Charles A. Dunn of the
Brooklyn navy yard said today,
and other nails were discovered
before further fires broke out on
the warship while it was being
overhauled here.
Capt. Dunn, industrial manager
of the navy yard, revealed the
fire caused by the sabotage broke
out on Aug. 25 in an auxiliary
cable. The fire was confined to
the cable and there was no damage
to the ship itself, he said.
An inspection ordered by the
navy yard brought the discovery
of two more nails driven into the
same cable where it entered a
boiler room. Another nail had
been driven into an obsolete cable
that under no conditions was
to be used.
Officials here were intensely in
terested in the report from the
indianapolis because o. repeated
rumors and reports of attempted
sabotage aboard the heavy cruiser
Quincy during its construction and
subsequent reports that attempts
had been made to sabotage the
QuincyS sisterShip, VincenneS,

He also consulted Works Progress
administration officials in San
Bernardino Friday regarding the
possibility of of completing the
unfinished Eastside school. Work
on this WPA project was handi-
capped by shortage of labor.
Space in the Eastside school is
expected to be ready for use by
the time the enrolment increases
sufficiently to require it.
Condemnation of Lincoln school
made it necessary to provide eight
class rooms for the accommodation
of the pupils at the Olive and
Fourth street institution.
Dy way dllu
fireproofing space at Harding
school, two rooms were provided
for the overflow from Lincoln.
Two other rooms were made avail
able at the same school, thus per-
mitting the placing of four Lin
coin classes at Harding.
Three classes will be accommod-
atad at Mckinley and one at Will
son. A bungalow on the Wilson
school grounds was repaired for
the sixth grade.
By means of this shifting, Weak
ley declared, all four of the sixth
grades in the system will be stu
ated at Wilson. This will provide
better educational advantages, he
said, because of the auditorium
facilities and will be more con-
venient because the cafeteria is
situated at this school. Three of
the fifth grades will be at Harding
and one at Mckinley.
