than  we  are  can  wp  ever  hope  to  become 
strong  and  enduring  ns  a  factor  iu  public 
affairs.  I  suppose  you  realize  that  this 
great  milk  question,  right  now,  is  not  so 
much  a  matter  of  helping  the  big.  pros¬ 
perous  dairymen  as  of  giving  the  little 
fellows  a  fairer  show  and  a  larger  slice  of 
hope.  Would  I  actually^  have  a  young 
fellow  like  my  friend  William  do  such 
simple  and  uncomfortable  tbiugs  as  I 
have  mentioned?  , 
Why  not?  It  is  easier  to  help  others 
by  proxy  or  go  wandering  off  i.fter 
strange  adventures,  but  "The  Greeks  are

EVENTS  OF  THE  WEEK 
DOMESTIC. — The  steamer  Suffolk, 
owned  by  the  Coastwise  Transportation 
Company  of  this  city,  has  heoti  chartered 
for  five  years  to  a  Philadelphia  concern 
at  an  annual  rate  of  {5500,000.  The  rate 
is  believed  by  marine  brokers  to  be  the 
highest  on  record  for  a  vessel  of  her  size 
over  such  a  term  of  years.  The  Suffolk 
will  he  employed  in  carrying  coal  from 
Philadelphia  to  South  America,  returning 
With  manganese  ore. 
John  P.  St.  Johu,  who  was  twice  Gov¬ 
ernor  of  Kansas  and  one  of  the  most 
widely  known  temperance  advocates  iu 
the  United  Slates,  died  at  Olathe,  Kan., 
Aug.  51.  aged  S3.  I  To  had  been  in  failing 
health  since  lie  was  prostrated  by  heat 
two  months  ago  while  on  a  speaking  tour. 
Mx\  St.  John  was  born  in  Brookville, 
I nd.,  and  served  through  the  Civil  War, 
living  mustered  out  a  (lieutenant  Colonel. 
From  1872  to  1873  he  was  in  the  Kansas 
Senate,  and  was  Governor  from  1ST!)  to 
1883.  He  ran  for  President  on  the  Prohi¬ 
bition  ticket  in  1884.  but  supported  Wil¬ 
liam  .T.  Bryan  for  President  in  1900. 
The  slide  in  the  Panama  Canal,  Aug. 
31,  was  a  purely  local  Toovenn-ut  and  in 
no  way  connected  with  the  great  slides 
which  closed  the  waterway  Iasi  year. 
War  Department  reports,  Sept.  1,  from 
Gov.  Goethals  said  the  movement  oc¬ 
curred  along  the  Cuoaracba  Channel, 
which  was  congested  slightly  for  200  feet 
and  impedes  traffic  so  ships  will  he  held 
up  about  two  days  while  the  construction 
is  being  cleared.  Gen.  Ooethals  said  the 
movement  had  no  connection  with  the 
Culebra  slides,  and  that  there  was  ap¬ 
parently  no  danger  of  large  obstructions 
in  the  canal. 
Minister  of  Labor  Crothers  of  Canada 
issued.  Sept.  1,  a  warning  to  railway 
workers  in  Canada  that  they  Avouhl  be 
liable  to  prosecution  under  the  industrial 
disputes  investigation  act  if  they  joined 
with  American  railway  workers  in  the 
threatened  strike.  A  majority  of  the 
Canadian  workers  are  affiliated  with  the 
American  railway  brotherhoods.  The 
Canadian  workers,  the  Minister  said, 
should  observe  the  Canadian  Jaw  rather 
than  foreign  instructions. 
The  Pequot  Casino,  at  New  London, 
Conn.,  was  destroyed  by  tire.  Sept.  4. 
with  a  loss  of  $75.0o0.  This  is  the  fourth 
rime  the  Casino  has  been  burned  during 
the  past  25  years. 
Sept.  4  fire  at  Midland  Bench,  Staten 
Island,  destroyed  property  to  the  value  of 
$23,000,  uninsured,  the  fire  being  watched 
by  about  10.000  excursionists. 
Sept.  2  the  heads  of  the  four  railway 
unions  revoked  the  order  fur  a  'national 
railway  strike  Sept.  4,  Congress  having 
passed  an  eight-hour  law  Sept,  1,  which 
was  signed  by  the  President  Sept,  3. 
The  Senate  passed  the  bill  by  a  vote  of 
43  to  28,  after  an  extremely  bitter  all¬ 
day  debate.  The  eight-hour  law  settle¬ 
ment.  as  made  by  Congress,  lays  upon  the 
railroads,  according  to  brotherhood  lead¬ 
ers,  a  heavier  burden  than  they  would 
have  sustained  through  an  acceptance  of 
the  terms  offered  by  President.  Wilson, 
which  they  rejected.  President.  "Wilson’s 
plan  would  have  applied,  only  to  engin¬ 
eers,  firemen,  conductors  and  trainmen  on 
freight  trains.  The  bill  as  passed  by 
Congress  and  signed  by  the  President  pre¬ 
scribes  the  eight-hour  day  for  all  em¬ 
ployes  on  trains  engaged  in  interstate 
commerce.

of  his  discoveries  in  the  Arctic,  returned 
on  the  Seandinuvinii-Amerioan  liner 
United  States  from  Copenhagen  Sept.  5. 
He  said  be  could  find  no  trace  of  the 
land,  though  he  made  observations  twen¬ 
ty  miles  further  from  shore  than  did  Ad¬ 
miral  Peary.  lie  stud  lie  did  see  mir¬ 
ages,  which  might  have  led  anyone  to 
suppose  that  land  lay  in  that  regiou.  lie 
will  make  a  full  report  later  to  the  Navy 
Department. 
WASHINGTON-  -Government  manu¬ 
facture  of  print  paper  for  the  Govern¬ 
ment  printing  office  was  proposed.  Aug. 
31,  in  a  bill  by  Representative  Tavernier 
of  Illinois.  The  purpose  is  to  strike  at 
present  prices  of  paper. 
In  the  hope  of  saving  the  armored 
cruiser  Memphis  from  complete  destruc¬ 
tion  in  Santo  Domingo  harbor,  the  Navy 
Department  ordered  Naval  Constructor 
Dubose,  Aug.  31,  to  proceed  to  the  scene 
September  IB,  1918. 
from  the  flagship  of  the  Atlantic  fleet. 
A  revised  casualty  list  gives  a  probable 
death  total  of  41  in  the  wreck. 
President  Wilson,  Sept.  1.  signed  a 
proclamation  excluding  about  574*00 
acres  from  the  Angeles  national  forest. 
California,  of  which  50,000  acres  will  be 
open  to  settlement  in  advance  of  entry  un¬ 
der  the  homestead  laws.  The  excluded 
lands  consist  of  a  strip  two  to  six  miles 
wide  and  24  miles  long  in  Los  Angeles, 
Riverside  and  San  Bernardino  counties. 
The  Administration  emergency  revenue 
bill,  designed  to  raise  $205,000,000  an¬ 
nually  from  taxes  on  inheritances  and 
war  munitions  and  from  increases  in  the 
income  tax,  creating  a  tariff  commission, 
establishing  a  protective  tariff  on  dye¬ 
stuffs,  providing  for  tin*  protection  of 
American  firms  from  "dumping"  at  the 
end  of  the  war,  and  giving  the  President 
authority  to  take  drastic  retaliatory 
steps  against,  allied  interference  with 
American  trade,  was  passed.  Sept.  5,  by 
the  Senate,  The  vote  was  42  to  36.

The  fact  having  been  determined  that 
egg  clusters  of  the  Gypsy  moth  are  be¬ 
ing  distributed  on  stone  and  quarry  pro¬ 
ducts  from  infested  regions  in  New  Eng¬ 
land.  the  Secretary  of  Agriculture  has 
quarantined  such  sections  and  has  or¬ 
dered  that  no  such  material  be  moved  in¬ 
terstate  except  in  compliance  with  con¬ 
ditions  of  the  quarantine.  The  district 
affected  embraces  specific  towns  in  Maine, 
New  Hampshire,  Vermont,  Massachusetts 
and  Connecticut. 
A  merger  of  Pacific  Coast  fruit  pack¬ 
ers  and  tanners  with  a  capitalization  of 
$25,000,000  is  rumored. 
The  ratification  by  the  United  States 
Senate  of  a  treaty  with  Canada  giving 
protection  for  virtually  all  birds  which 
migrate  between  the  two  countries  makes 
ibis  nation  the  most  advanced  of  any  on 
the  globe  in  the  matter  of  conservation 
of  wild  life,  according  to  John  B.  Burn¬ 
ham,  president  of  the  American  Game 
Protective  and  Propagation  Association. 
The  first ’bird  sanctuary  to  bo  established 
by  the  National  Bird  Sanctuary  Associa¬ 
tion  will  'be  Lake  Placid  and  the  sur¬ 
rounding  woods,  where  Percy  Maokeyc’s 
bird  masque.  ‘‘Sanctuary.”  will  be  played 
in  the  outdoor  theatre,  Arden,  on  Sep¬ 
tember  ,8  and  9. 
Friar  Rock,  a  three-ynar-old  colt  which 
won  great  fame  and  many  rich  purses  on 
the  American  turf  this  seasou  and  in 
3915.  was  sold  for  $50,000.  Sept.  1.  at 
the  Belmont  Park  race  track.  John  E. 
Madden,  "the  wizard  of  the  turf,”  paid 
this  sum  to  August  Belmont  for  the  young 
thoroughbred.  It  is  the  second  largest 
sum  ever  paid  for  a  race  horse  in  train¬ 
ing  in  the  United  States.  In  1902  E.  R. 
ThOinav  paid  $55,000  to  L.  V.  Bell  for 
dermis,  ihe  champion  handicap  horse  of 
that  year. 
Commissioner  of  Agriculture  Wilson  is 
Starting  an  educational  campaign  to  make 
clear  the  provisions  of  the  pure  food  law 
in  New  "Voile  State.  Pamphlets  are  to 
be  piepu  red  explaining  the  pure  food 
laws.  These  pamphlets  will  be  distrib¬ 
uted  in  all  cities  by  the  agents  of  the  De¬ 
partment.  A.  further  effort  to  get  the  ex¬ 
planatory  pamphlets  ’before  those  inter¬ 
ested  will  be  made  through  the  wholesale 
and  retail  associations.  Two  important 
changes  were  made  in  the  law  relative  to 
vinegar  and  milk  by  the  last  Legislature 
which  the  commissioner  says  should  be 
understood  by  those  affected.  One  elim¬ 
inates  the  provision  on  solid  requirements 
in  vinegar.  The  other  amendment  pro¬ 
vided  that  if  one  can  of  milk  in  a  lot  is 
found  to  be  below  the  standards  the  De¬ 
partment  may  take  action  against,  the 
vendor.  The  law  formerly  provided  that, 
a  mixture  of  samples  from  all  cans  must 
be  below  the  standards. 
Apples  in  our  county  are  neglected ;  it 
is  all  milk  and  butter.  AVe  are  in  the 
front  rank  as  to  those  products;  no  corn 
is  grown  to  any  extent,  except  silage 
corn;  it  will  he  a  normal  crop.  Hay  is 
the  largest  on  record.  At  the  commence¬ 
ment  of  haying  weather  conditions  were 
unfavorable  as  to  curing.  Considerable 
damage  resulted,  hut  later  the  weather 
improved,  and  a  large  amount  of  hay 
was  stored  in  fine  condition.  Potatoes 
are  looking  fairly  well;  good  growth  of 
tops.  Growers  report  a  yield  of  good 
quality,  selling  at  $7  per  bit.  Last  year 
the  Government  crop  report  was  too 
high  ,  this  year  a  few  millions  less  than 
last  year ;  it  is  rather  early  to  decide 
yet.  ‘  E.  C. 
Hamden,  N.  Y. 
Aug.  31.  This  month  has  been  a  rival 
of  July  for  heat  and  dryness.  We  have 
had  some  very  hot  days  and  the  drought 
is  getting  to  he  serious.  Farmers  are 
kept  from  plowing  for  wheat,  arid  some 
that  have  been  plowed  are  fields  of 
lumps,  I  never  saw  the  ground  so  full  if 
large,  wide  cracks  as  at  present.  Pastur¬ 
age  is  drying  up,  and  cows  shrinking  iu 
their  milk.  Potatoes  are  much  in  need 
of  rain  ;  new  ones  are  retailing  at  $2  per 
bu.  Beans  are  in  want  of  rain  and  a 
late  Fall  to  ripen.  Cuvu  is  backward 
and  needs  rain  and  time.  The  crop  of 
Bartlett  pears  was  light,  selling  at  2c. 
per  pound.  Plums,  short  crop:  oats  arc 
the  lightest  thing  we  have,  30  bu.  per 
acre  and  weighing  15  lbs.  per  bit.
