2,000 MARINES ARE"
sent to mmm
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29. Two
thousand American marines and blue
jackets will be mobilized on Nicaraug
uan territory next week. Officials of
the state department declared today
that this force would be sufficient to
cope with the situation brought about
by the operations of General Iena's
band of rebels.
Although the order sending the
Tenth infantry to Corinto was rescind
ed at midnight, it has had a salutary
effect. Acting Secretary of State
Huntington Wilson telegraphed Pres
ident Taft at Columbus today that the
Nicaraguan situation was much im
proved. The present plan is for the blue
jackets to first reopen the railroad
from Corinto to Managua, the capital,
and then scatter along its right of way
to prevent the molestation of trains.
The Tenth infantry, it was announced,
would be held in readiness and would
depart for Corinto if the situation be
comes critical.
POTATO SHIPMENTS
TO SOUTH START
Potato shipments to the southwest
have started and a number of car
loads are now rolling in that direction.
Dealers are offering from 50c 60c
per cental in a limited way for sup
plies for outside shipment, but stock
must be of good quality and fully ma
tured. ,
It now develops why California par
ties recently started - to boost the
views of Oregon growers in regard to
the price. With an enormous crop in
the river section of California a spe
cial effort is being made to hold the
trade of Arizona and Texas.
While those section prefer the Ore
gon stock owing to its superior qual
ity, the price acts somewhat as a
check against sales in this section. By
boosting the views of growers here,
the California manipulators hoped to
stop the selling of growers of Oregon
which in turn would have forced Ore
gon dealers out of the Arizona and
Texas market, thereby giving the en
tire trade to California
While the present price of potatoes
is rather low here, the trade genrally
is inclined to the opinion that it is bet
ter to ship out as much stuff as pos
sible at this time and thereby help
the later market, if possible,. Some
contend, however, that present prices
will he as good, if not better, than any
that will rule hereafter this season.

NCED
HE IS
SPERli
Perhaps you remember the time
it was not very long ago. The papers j
printed much abou?-, the: farmers of
the wesi using their corn for fuel.
They burned it burned their corn
for two very good" reasons; to begin
with, the price of corn, was so low
t'cat it didn't pay to haul it to market,
says The Era.
. In 1894, and for two years thereaf
ter, corn sold in Kansas for ten cents
a bushel. In other words, a man had
to faise a bushel of corn for the price
of a shave, if a farmer wanted to buy
a pound of binder-twine, he had to sell
two bushels of corn to get it.
Today binder twine sells for about
7 1-2 cents a pound. And what is the
price of corn? Why, corn is 65 cents
a bushel. Well, back in '94 a farmer
bought a wagon of a Hutchinson, deal
er for $60. It was a good wagon, and
the farmer took good care of it. It
pays to treat a good thing well. This
makes it better, and gives it a long
life.
The other day the farmer came
back to this same Hutchinson dealer
and saidi he wanted to buy another
wagon just like the one he got in
'94.
"Twas a goodone,' he said. That's
why I want another one just like it
How much are you going to charge
me for it?'
The dealer rubbed his chin and
passed his fingers through his hair.
'Well, now, let me see. It seems to
me you paid $60 for that wagon, did
n't you?'
'That's right,' said the farmer; '$60.'
'All right; that same kind of a wag
on a little better, perhaps, for some
improvements have been added that
wagon will cost you now $75.'
'What!' exclaimed the farmer. He
was surprised, and began to object,
and then wanted to know the whys
and wherefores of the rise in prices.
'Well', said the dealer, 'the material,
like lumber and iron and steel, has
gone up in price, wages have advan
ced, and it costs me more to buy a
wagon now. Maybe the tariff has some
thing to do with it, too.'
At the mention of the word "tariff"
the farmer went straight up in the air.
He began to expound against the
theory of the whole thing.
The dealer let him run along for
a while and then asked again, "say,
when you bought that wagon from me
in ninety-four, I think you paid for it
in corn, didn't you?"
"Yes sure I did," "but what's that
got to do with it?"
"And, let me see. Corn was 10c a
bushel, and you had to give six hun
dred bushels of corn for that wagon,
didn't you?" asked the dealer again.
- "Yes, I did," answered the farmer,
after recalling in his own mind that
corn was selling at only 10c a bushel
in those days.
"I'll tell you what you do," said the
dealer; "bring.me in six hundred
Dusneis or corn tomorrow, and I'll
give you this wagon "
"Well, say, hold on "began the
farmer. The dealer interrupted him
in turn. "But that isn't all," he said.
"In addition to the wagon, I'll let you
and your wife go over to the ware
house and pick out a carriage. Then
you go end help yourself to the best
six-foot binder in the shop. And "
"Here, wait a minute "started the
farmer.
"I'm not through yet," said the deal
er. "When your wife comes in, I'll
let her go to the hardware department
and pick out one of the best ranges
we've got. And, just for good meas
ure, you tell your wife that she can
have enough kitchen utensils to refur
nish her kitchen. Now, I'll give you
that all of that for six hundred
bushels of corn. In ninety-four the
same amount of corn just got you the
wagon. That's a fair proposition, is
n't it?"
The farmer was stunned. He hem
med and hawed, removed his hat, and
scratched tis head.
"I'll just work this out in figures
and show you what you are getting,"
continued the dealer. "We'll put the
wagon down at.$75; the self binder
at $125, and that'll give you a beauty;
the carriage at $125; the kitchen
range at $50, and that certainly ought
to he a good one and the kitchen
utensils at $15, and that ought to buy
a few. Add these together and you
have $390. Figure six hundred bush
els of corn at sixty-five cents a bushel
and you have $390."
The farmer dug up his $75 for the
wagon without saying another word,
and motioned to the dealer to join
him at the cigar stand for a "smoke."

TWO MILLIONS SEE
E OF
LONDON, Aug. 29. More than 2,
000,000 persons were banked along
the streets of London, leading to Ab
ney Park cemetery today, where the
body of General William Booth,
founder and late head of the Salvation
Army, was laid to rest. Including the
20,000 or so members of the Salvation
Army, comprising 50 brigades, who
were in line, not less than 100,000 sym
pathizers followed the body to the
grave.
The procession started from the Vic
torie Embankment at 11:30 a'clock
and marched past Salvation" Army
headquarters where the hearse join
ed the marchers.
General Booth's cofin was draped
with the flag of the Salvation Army.
On this lay.the general's uniform, cap
and Bible. Commissioner Adelaide
Cox preceded the hearse, carrying a
Salvation Army Flag.
General Bramwell Booth, who by the
terms of his father's will, succeeded
General William Booth as head of the
organization, followed on foot behind
the hearse. Bramwell Booth was vis
ibly affected, giving frequently to his
emotion. He was followed by the oth
er Salvation Army leaders, detach
ments of British soldiers and hund
reds of sailors.
All business houses along the line
of march were draped in black. The
lord mayor of London, officially robed,
stood at salute as the funeral cortege
passed his official residence. "
A chorus of 1000 voices joined in
General Booth's favorite hymn at the
grave. Lieutenant Colonel Damon of
the American branch prayed and Mrs.
Booth-Halberg sang a special hymn,
"O, Boundless Salvation."
Bramwell, Catherine and Eva Booth
children of the dead leader, spoke
briefly at the grave. As the coffin was
lowered the throng joined in singing,
"O, Servant of God, Well Done."
Bramwell Booth then recited the com
mitment service of the Salvation Ar
my. Owing to the crush of spectators,
the hearse reached the cemetery 30
minutes late. Thousands of persons
fainted and many suffered minor in
juries in the jam. -
The crowd was the largest in the
vicinity of the Salvation Army head
quarters, and most of the prostrations
occurred there.- Thousands of per
sons left the cemetery before the pro
cession arrived. -

OF
CANAL FIGHT OFF
Continued from page 1)
two special treaties between America
and Great Britain in addition to the
great general convention creating the
tribunal of The Hague and binding all
parties thereto to adjust their depu
ties by recourse to its methods. The
first of these treaties, the Hay-Paunce-fote
treaty, in its third article declares
that there shall be no discrimination
against any of the nations obeying the
rules ofthe canal, and in its fourth
article asserts that no change of ter
ritorial sovereignty shall affect the
obligation of America and Great Brit
ain under the treaty.
The second special treaty, made
four years ago, binds each country to
submit to The Hague any difference
that may arise relating to the inter
pretation of treaties, provided they
"do not affect the vital interests, the
independence or the honor" of the par
ties. On its face, a British demand
for arbitration oft suou a basis is gen
erally regarded to be sound and be
yond discussion.
Cockfighting Among the Greek.
The sport of cockfighting seems to
have originated with Themistocles of
Greece. When he was leading an army
against the Persians he noted two
cocks in a desperate battle. To stim
ulate the courage of his . soldiers he
pointed out the bravery of birds, and,
having won his battle with the Per
sians, he ordered that an annual cock
fight should be field to celebrate his
victory. In England the records show
that the first cockfight took place in
1191.
