FARMERS TO THE, RESCUE
The Committee on Markets of the
New York State Food Investigation
Commission has made its report,
which throws a little new light on the
increased cost of living. By getting
the goods in packages the consumer
pays 40 per cent more than he would
if he obtained the same things in
bulk. The trading stamp adds 3 per
cent additional to the price, and the
practice of requiring the seller to de
liver every parcel, small as well as
large, adds 10 or 15 per cent more to
it. Here we have one very good rea
son why food prices are higher than
they used to be, for the package sys
teb, the trading stamps and the prat
tice of requiring the dealer to deliver
everything, are comparatively recent
innovations.
Then, too, come the rapid increase
in population and the comparatively
slow gain In the output of the farms.
While population throughout the
country grew 21 per cent in the past
ten years, the expansion in the food

neighboring territories.
IT NO DOUBT IS UNAWARE THAT THE MOST ACRID ANTIP
ATHY IS BEING REARED AGAINST IT IN THE REST OF THE NEW
WORLD, UNCONSCIOUS OF THE INJUSTICE THAT IS BEING COM
MITTED IN ITS NAME, AND FINALLY THAT, WITHOUT SO MUCH
AS SUSPECTING IT, THROUGH THE WORK OF AMBITIOUS AND
ADVENTUROUS POLITICIANS THERE IS BEING BORN IN LATIN
AMERICA AN ERA OF HOSTILITY, OF LASTING ANTAGONISM, THE
CONSEQUENCES OF WHICH WILL INJURE US ALL.
A journey recently made through all Latin America convinced me
that the blind restlessness and disquietude that beset all my people are
organizing and crystallizing into an ALERT AXD VIGOROUS
MOVEMENT OF PROTEST AGAINST THE IMPERIALISM
OF THE UNITED STATES. ,
supply has been only about 2 per cent.
There is a drift of people from the
rural districts to the cities. Farm life
has become unpopular in recent times.
The sons and daughters of the farm
ers, in many cases, leave their old ,
homes and flock to the cities. The
towns of 5000 inhabitants and upward j
are growing twice as fast as the farm
ing regions. This, however, is a man
ifestation which is seen in all the
great industrial countries of the
world. Germany is growing, in the
aggregate, faster proportionately than
any other country in Europe, but the
growth is wholly in the cities. In
the rural regions there has been a
steady decline in population for many
years.
But good news is coming from the
American farms at this moment. The
grain crop of 1912 will be larger than
ever before, and much larger than
that of last year. This is the word
which we are getting every day now.
While neither wheat nor corn will be
a record crop this year, each will be
much larger than that of 1911. Of
course, corn is still subject to weather
conditions, for the harvest will not
begin in that cereal for a month yet,
but " the weather thus far has been
much more favorable than it was a
year ago The railroads will be busier
this year in hauling food to the points
of consumption than they ever were
in the past. Here is one of the rea
sons for the advances all along the
line in the stock market recently.
Moreover, with the advance in prices
have also come an addition to the
conveniences of the farms through
the extension of mail and telephone
facilities. The parcels post, which is
about to make its advent, will add
further to the attractions of farm" life.
It is altogether probable that food
cost has reached its maximum, or
nearly, so, and that soon there will
begin a downward turn which will
diminish the cost of living ,evcept as
the cost is due to extravagance.

SENATE PASSES BILL
AIDING LAND OWNERS
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15. The sen
ate today passed the house bill relat
ing to land suits brought by the gov
ernment in Oregon to reclaim public
land in which the Oregon & Californ
ia Railroad company to which they
were granted failed to fulfill the terms
of the grant. The bill provides that
none of the lands, thus reverting to
the United States shall become sub
ject to entry. .Its effect would be to
confirm in possession of the property
those who purchased lands in good
faith.
This is considered the most import
ant "bill ever passed by congress in
relation to the Willamette Valley and
Western Oregon. It releases for per
manent settlement and development
between 400,000 and 500,000 acres of
lands to which the purchasers were
not certain whether they had perfect
title.
Some of the land was bought by
lumber manufacturing companies and
now that they are to be given perfect
title they will be justified in develop
ing these holdings in an extensive
way. So, too,, with the smaller set
tlers who have held possession of
their purchases from the railroads but
to which they have subsequently
learned they did not have a clear ti
tle. They will now be justified in pro
ceeding with improvements, as upon
payment of $2.25 per acre to the gov
ernment all clouds to the title will be
removed.

itself than in that of any other man?
(14.) How did Jesus Jknow, with
so many people jostling him, of the
particular touch of this woman?
(15.) What is the ground for the
belief that God is aware of every
thought, word and act of every indi

to God and make him our confidential
friend what are always the results?
(17.) Verses 35-36 When matters
are as black as night and our troubles
seem beyond remedy why is it still
safe to be of good courage and to
have faith?
(18.) Verse 37 Why is it that
there are only certain persons we can
work with effectually, while others
equally good people, are a hindrance
to us?

IS
CALLED "ICY TOES"
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Aug. 15.
By turning down an offer to sub
stitute for "One-Round" Hogan in a
four-round bout here with Willie
Ritchie tomorrow night, Frankie
Burns of Oakland today is referred
to in sporting circles here as "Little
Icy Toes, Afraid of a Real Fighter."
Ever since Ritchie gained fame by
fighting Freddie Welsh to a standstill
in a 20-round bout in Los Angeles,
Burns has been camping on his trail,
offering to fight any distance on a
winner take all basis. But when Pro
moter Parente offered to stage Burns
and Ritchie, Frankie turned down the
offer, asserting that the distance was
too short. Ritchie and Hogan were
billed to fight four rounds here to
morrow night, hut Hogan was taken
suddenly ill and the bout has been
cancelled. As an alternative match,
Promoter Parente announced today
that he had signed Ed Kennedy, form
er amateur heavyweight champion of
the Pacific Coast and Rufe Cameron,
a Los Angeles negro, to fill the gap.

SCHEPPS IS BEING
RUSHED TO NEW YORK
NEW YORK, Aug. 15. Discarding
his dilatory tactics when threatened
with arrest under a federal warrant,
I Sam Schepps, held at Hot Springs,
I Ark., for complicity in the murder of
j Gambler Herman Rosenthal, changed
; front again today, and is now enroute
to New York in custody of Assistant
j District Attorney Robert Rubin . and
j County Detective Stewart, according
I to a statement issued hereby District
j Attorney Charles S. Whitman. The
route the officers took with their pris
j oner is being kept secret.
- When the grand jury resumed its in
' vestigation today officers of several
. banks were waiting in the corridors of
the criminal court building to testify.
I It . is believed that these men were
j called to give testimony concerning
i deposits made by Police Lieutenant
Charles Becker, who is said to have
deposited $59,000 in several institu
tions during the six months preceding
the murder on a salary of $185 a
month.
The bank accounts of other higher
up in the police department, suspect
ed of sharing in the $2,400,000 yearly
graft squeezed from New York gam
blers by the police, will also be in
spected. The identity of these men,
District Attorney Whitman says, is
known to him and he expects the
grand jury to return not less than sev
en indictments on the evidence al
ready presented.
The interest New Yorkers are tak
ing in the efforts of Whitman to rid
the police force of grafters was shown
last night when 4000 citizens attended
a. mass meeting in Cooper Union,
thousands of others blocking the
streets. District Attorney Whitman
was the object of a demonstration
when he appeared on the platform.
He was cheered for 15 minutes. Other
prominent speakers at the meeting
were Dr. Lyman Abbott, Alderman H.
Curran, Rabbi Samuel Schull, Jacob
H. Schiff, Raymond V. Ingersoll and
George B. Agnew.
The mass meeting appointed a "vi
gilance committee" with power to in
crease its seven members to 35, to so
licit funds and secure counsel to as
sist Whitman in carrying on his work.
A resolution was adopted calling up
on "the police department to put forth
additional efforts looking to the arrest
of all those implicated in the Rosen
thal murder."

THIS IS FOR YOU
If You Are Particular in Your Choice
of Talcum Powder This Will
Please You
Violet Dulce Talcum Powder was
designed especially for the particular
woman or man who wants the best,
and appreciates it. No talcum powd
er we ever sold has so quickly found
favor with fastidious people.
Even the boxls richly unique. And
the talcum well, all we can say is
that it is pure, exquisitely perfumed
and so impalpably soft that it clings
to the skin for hours, imparting that
soft, velvety look so highly prized, by
beauty.
The best we cold say about Violet
Dulce Talcum Powder would be no
more than you would say after using
it, and that woudn't do it justice. It
is delightful to the senses, soothing to
the skin and permanent in its cling
ing qualities. Used after the hath.it
prolongs the cooling effect. Its anti
septic qualities make it highly effect
ive in relieving and preventing rash
and prickly heat.
The woman or man who has ever
used Violet Dulce Talcum Powder is
now using no other. It is the acme of
perfection in talcums. The , woman
who has not used it has missed a de
lightful experience, and the woman
who does juse it revels in its delights.
If, after using it, you do not ffnd that
it meets in every way all the claims
we make for it, we want you to come
back to us and get your money. Price
25 cents. Sold in this community on
ly at our store. The Rexall Store.

APPROPRIATION BILL
VETOED BV PRESIDENT
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15. President
Taft returned to the House with a ve
to message today, the legislative, exe
cutive and judicial appropriation bill,
because of its amendment to abolish
the Commerce Court and limit the te
nure of office of civil service employes
to seven years.
The Cabinet read and approved the
message at a special Cabinet meeting.
On moition of Representative Jolrn
son, of South Carolina, a member of
the appropriations committee, the
House took up the bill to pass it over
the President's veto.
Pensions for thousands of veterans,
held up by disagreement between the
House and Senate over the $160,000,
000 pension apropriation bill may be
paid Saturday.
The House has agreed to the Sen
ate's demand to abolish the 18 outly
ing pension agencies on February 1,
19.13, and passed the bill, with one mi
nor amendment which will be adjust
ed. President Taft is expected to
sigu it immediately.
An effort to reach an agreement to
dispose of the steel and wool tariff re
vision bills, already passed by the
House over the President's veto, fail
ed in the Senate today. Unanimous
consent to vote on both measures to
morrow was objected to by Senator
Briggs because there was a dispute
about the arrangement of pairs.
Republican leaders decided to call
in absent members to meet any at
tempt by the Democrats to repass the
vetoed bills. Telegrams " were dis
patched to all absentees within easy
distance of Washington to return to
the capital. The Republican force
has been badly depleted during the
last few weeks.
