EVENTS OF THE WEEK 
DOMESTIC.—Fire which started at 
Willows. Cal.. July 11, destroyed almost 
the entire business section, causing a loss 
variously estimated at from $500,000 to 
$1,000,000. Only three buildings in the 
business section escaped. Ilocheimer & 
Co., owners of a department store, were, 
the heaviest losers. They estimated their 
loss at $150,000. The First National 
Bank building was also a total loss, as 
wei'o about 30 other business establish¬ 
ments. Willows is a town of about 1,500 
population, located about 150 miles north 
and east of San Francisco. 
The steamship Lake Frampton, owned 
by the United States Shipping Board, 
bound from Norfolk to New York, was 
sunk early July 12 off Atlantic City, N. 
J., after it had collided with the steam¬ 
ship Comus. The Comus was also dam¬ 
aged. Three of the crew of the Lake 
Frampton are missing. The Lake Bramp¬ 
ton. a vessel of 4,200 tons, was operated 
by the West Indies Steamship Company. 
Governor Percival W. Clement July 12 
again refused to call a special session of 
the Vermont Legislature to ratify the 
Federal amendment for woman suffrage. 
In a proclamation outlining his attitude 
the Governor calls attention to the fact 
that the present Legislature was elected 
before the question of ratifying the Fed¬ 
eral amendment had arisen, that the peo¬ 
ple of Vermont have had no opportunity 
to express themselves in regard to the 
question, and that the proposed Federal 
amendment clearly invades the Consitu- 
tion of Vermont. Governor Clement pro¬ 
poses that the matter be taken up by the 
Legislature of 1921. and urges the voters 
to require candidates for the House aud 
Senate to declare themselves thereon. 
Ten bandits robbed the Plainfield State 
Bank at Plainfield. Ill., of $5,000 in cash 
and $8,000 in Liberty bonds July 12. 
Then they fought a running battle with 
residents of the town, in which five of 
the latter were shot and wounded and two 
were injured by blows of the robbers’ 
revolvers. One of the bandits also was 
shot and wounded, but escaped with the 
rest. 
Arrangements for the opening of for¬ 
mer North German Lloyd trade routes to 
American shipping were completed July 
13 at a conference between Chairman 
Benson of the Shipping Board and offi¬ 
cials of the United States Mail Steam¬ 
ship Company. The board recently allo¬ 
cated fifteen former German passenger 
vessels to the company for operation on 
the trade routes. Assurances were given 
by the United States Mail Steamship 
Company, Chairman Benson sa ; d. that no 
German capital was interested in the ven¬ 
ture and that the agreement with the 
North German Lloyd Company provided 
for the use of its docks and harbor facili¬ 
ties on a fixed price basis only. 
Felix Gouled. out on bail pending ap¬ 
peal on his sentence to seven years’ im¬ 
prisonment for defrauding the Govern¬ 
ment on raincoat contracts, July 13 
through counsel brought up in the Fed¬ 
eral Court at New York the question of 
whether he should be allowed to proceed 
to Warsaw on filing of $25,000 extra 
bond. The purpose of this proposed trip, 
it was explained, is to close certain deals 
concerning raw cotton between American 
manufacturers and the Tolisli Govern¬ 
ment. After hearing argument Judge 
Harland B. Howe said he would like to 
hear from members of the Polish com¬ 
mission here before making any decision 
in the matter. He was informed that the 
commission had no knowledge of the fact 
that Gouled had been convicted when he 
was asked to handle the deal. 
Resolutions calling for the exclusion of 
Orientals presented by the California 
delegation were voted down at the first 
reunion of the Rainbow Division Asso¬ 
ciation at Birmingham, Ala.. July 13. 
The veterans pledged to support the Gov¬ 
ernment in combating Bolshevism, ap¬ 
proved a proposal that both capital and 
labor be drafted in the event of another 
war. and went on record as opposing suf¬ 
frage for citizens of the District of 
Columbia. 
The town of Moscow, Idaho, the seat 
of the Idaho University, July 13 was 
swept by a combined electrical and wind 
storm that brought iu its wake a deluge 
of rain said to have assumed cloudburst 
proportions. Damage to crops and pro¬ 
perty was reported to be heavy, but no 
loss of life was reported. 
Hundreds of men July 14 were fighting 
four big forest fires raging near FI igstaff, 
Ariz. Approximately 0,000 acres have 
boon burned over, according to informa¬ 
tion received at the local offices of the 
United States Forest Service. 
FARM AND GARDEN.—A resolution 
calling upon President Wilson to place an 
embargo on importations of beef, mutton 
and wool to stabilize home markets was 
adopted at Flagstaff. Ariz., July 3, at the 
opening of the joint convention of the 
Arizona Cattle Growers’ Association and 
the Arizona Wool Growers’ Association. 
Hugh E. Campbell of Flagstaff, president 
of the wool growers, told the convention 
that 250.000 frozen New Zealand lambs 
were shipped to this country recently, 
and that 750,000 more would be shipped 
before September. 
Plans for the establishment of a large 
paper mill in Southern Saskatchewan, to 
utilize vast quantities of waste straw in 
(be province, were reported July 12 to be 
under way at Regina. Lignite fields in 
that section, it is said, will provide the 
necessary fuel.

Members of the Maryland State Iiorti 
cultural Society and invited fruit growers 
from other States will be the guests of 
the Carroll County orehardists at the 
society’s midsummer meeting, July on 
which will be held at New Windsor on 
the main line of the Western Maryland 
Railroad between Baltimore and Hagers¬ 
town. In addition to a program of con¬ 
siderable note which is being arranged 
for the afternoon session, the visiting 
orehardists will be given an opportunity 
to inspect the fruit-growing districts of 
Carroll County, and particularly the 
Mount Olivet orchard, which is known 
throughout Maryland for its high pro¬ 
duction and capable management. A p 
Sander, president of the Mount Olivet 
Orchard Company, is also president of the 
State Horticulturists. 
( The New York State Horticultural 
Society will hold its annual Summer 
meeting at the orchards of Grant Hi tell¬ 
ings, near Syracuse, N. Y., August d 
There are, in this locality, 50,000 apple 
trees, all grown under the sod-mulch 
method. Some with Alfalfa, some with 
Orchard grass and some with Blue-grass 
There are plots sprayed, some dusted. V 
fertilizer experiment under the direction 
of J. I’. Stewart, formerly of the Penn¬ 
sylvania State College; also different 
methods of pruning. Mr. Hitehings has 
an orchard of 10.000 trees, eight years 
old, which is said to be second to none in 
the State. The cost of growing this or¬ 
chard and the manner of management 
will be carefully explained to the visitors. 
There being no convenience for meals 
near the orchards, it will be necessary to 
make this a basket picnic, each party 
providing for itself, either with a lunch 
basket or an early dinner in Syracuse. 
Those who desire transportation from 
Syracuse to the orchards will please
