BRITISH LORD SEES AMERICA Breaks 400-Year Precedent to Visit Canada. Keeper of Great Seal of England Haya Militant Suffragettes Are Handicap. New York — Viscount Haldane, keeper of the great seal of Great Brit* ain and the flrat Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain to leave hla country al nee Cardinal Wolaey went to France 400 years ago, arrived here on the steamship Lua I tan I a for a flying visit of five days In thia country and Can ada. The lord high chancellor, whose po sition In England corresponds to that of chief justice of the Supreme court of the United States, la here as a guest of the American Bar association, before which he will deliver an ad- dreae at its annual meeting at Mont real. Hie itinerary includes visits to West Point and Albany. Previously warned that he might ex pect to be interviewed by American newspaperman on his arrival In New York, the chancellor greeted a delega tion of them who boarded the Luai- tanla at quarantine and submitted to another interview when he reached the hotel where he is making hla head quarters in thia ciy. Ixird Haldane freely discussed many questions of the day; declared that he was in favor of woman suffrage; prophesied that a millenium of peace was far off; aaid that the relatione between Germany and England were never more cordial; praised the intel- li'.'tusl growth of the United States and predicted that home rule for Ire land would noon be an accomplished fact. With a merry twinkle in his blue eyes the Lord High Chancellor joked and quipped with his Interviewers be tween serious remarks, and conceded that the American custom of inter viewing distinguished visitors was “delightfully progressive.“ “It would be a sanguine person,” he said when asked hie opinion of the Peace Palace at The Hague, “who could see the dawn of international peace. It is useless to look toward the permanent cesaatlon of war in the near future. We can only do our best and trust to the events of time. The coming of the millenium of peace must be an evolution like everything else, but we must come to the realisation of the fact that we can settle our differ ences in a better way than by quarrel ing with each other.” Ixird Haldane chuckled when the question of woman suffrage was brought up "Yes, 1 am a suffragist,” he said, “but 1 do not approve of the militant suffragettes. You are fortunate to have no militant suffragettes in this country, and I sincerely hope the mill tent idea will not gain a foothold here. The methode of the English suffrag ettes have delayed equal suffrage for years. At present there is no chance of woman suffrage becoming a govern ment measure, as the cabinet is hope lessly divided on the subject and so are both parties. If a government were to be elected on that issue then it would be hopelessly divided on every other issue.” OREGON MARKSMEN VICTORS — Heat All Other States, Also Regu lar Infantry. Camp Perry, Ohio — In the front' rank of marksmanship among the mill- { tiamen of the United States stand the 12 Oregon sharpshooters that General Finxer brought to the national match. They defeated every other state team, 40 of them, and also the crack United States infantry, thrice winner of the national trophy. The Oregonians’ 2606 was beaten by only two United States aggregations of professional shots, the cavalry, which took the tro phy, its flrat, and a popular victory with 2676, and the navy, twice winner with 2666. By three points Oregon outshot the 1911 service winners, the marine corps. The United States infantry, which led up to the skirmish test, blew up and stopped eighth. On the skirmish Oregon beat it 100. Washington ranked sixteenth, with 2638. Municipal Railway Pays. Calgary, Alberta—The high water mark of 976,367.60 was struck by the gross earnings of the Calgary Munici pal railway for the month of July, of this year. The net profits of the sys tem for the month totalled 914,410.84, in spite of the fact that expense of operation has increased on account of construction of new lines and a gener ous increase in wages. The revenue of the system per car mile for the month of July was 27.561 cents, while the operating expenses per car mile were 17.891 cents. Romance Is Reawakened. Paterson, N. J. — Romance in the long-idle silk mills of Paterson has re vived with the death of the strike. So many workers have stormed the mar riage license bureau lately that the registrar decided to keep his office open evenings to accomodate all com ers. During the strike the number of licenses lasued ^dwindled almost to none st sll. HIQHIR TAX AGREED ON Revision to Apply to All Sumo Above 920,000 a Year. Washington, D, C.—An insurgent movement among Democratic Hena- tore that threatened to break party lines on the income tax has been Lead ed off by the loaders by an agreement to revise the tariff bill so as to levy a heavier tax on the Incomes from large fortunee. It la understood that Democratic leaders have agreed to a revision of iim income tax section, SO that the ex tra tax on incomes of more than 9100,- 000 will bo 6 per cent, with an In crease reaching 10 per cent on in cóales of a half million dollars. The bill as it now stands provides for a 3 per cent tax above 9100,000. The present rates on incomes between 920,000 and 9100,000 also will be In creased. The Insurgent leaders began with a demand for a party conference and claimed the support of 27 Democratic Henalora of the 60 in the Senate in support of an Increase In the tax. They finally agreed to withdraw their de mand for a special caucus, but the question will be taken up in a party caucus. Ineffectual attempts were mude re peatedly by Republicans to amend the Income tax provisions. An amend ment by Senator Norria to allow an exemption of 9600 for each minor child Instead of limiting the exemption to two children, was defeated, 34 to 27. Another by Senator Dodge to substi tute "dependent" for "minor' chilJren also was promptly voted down. MANY HEEDING WARNING Americans In Mexico Leaving Great Numbera.

H. Jackson, bead of the plant pathology department, Oregon Agricultural collegq, These radical measures have already been Instituted In one of the Important fruit districts of the state and are in a fair way to be applied in one other. As the dis ease Is prevalent in a more or less serious aspect In every county of east ern Oregon with the possible excep tion of Wasco, experts In plant dis eases believe that no time should be lost in putting control measures lqto effect. While measures of procedure will vary somewhat In the different sec tions of the state, the plan followed successfully in the La Grande district can be made the basla of plans suit able in most other districts. This campaign, which has been in operation for several days, is described by Pro fessor Jackson as follows: "Requests for aid for the I>a Grande district came through the state board of horticulture. In response I went to La Grande about July 7, and held lec tures there and at Elgin. Subsequent ly I visited all parts of the Grand Rondo valley. * As a result of this Inspection of the orchards there a meeting was held Saturday afternoon, July 12, at which the matter of hand ling the situation throughout the val ley was discussed and a committee ap pointed to present to the county court a petition asking for funds to provide for demonstration work. As a result of that action 9500 was appropriated by the county court on August 6. “I secured for the fruit growers the aervicee of C. C. Hyde and M. M. Winslow, graduates of O. A. C. In horticulture, who spent the summer In the Rogue River valley as blight ex perts and are thoroughly familiar with methods of cutting out the disease. The campaign was organized In such a way that demonstrations In cutting out the disease and disinfecting the wounds are being conducted in various orchards by these men. They expect to cover all parts of the valley. They will follow up the demonstrations with careful inspection as carried on by the inspection service, as soon as the growers are thoroughly familiar with the details of the work. This proced ure interferes In no way with the regular county inspection service but la an aid to Inspectors In familiarising them with the disease and the best methods of treatment. My part in the work has been purely that of or ganization under the general direction of the college extension service.” Oregon Agricultural College, Corval lis.—"As the sow thistle, the weed so common along roadsides and In waste places. Is an annual, it may be de stroyed merely by preventing It from going to seed,” says Professor H. D. Scudder, head of the department of agronomy, Oregon Agricultural col lege. "[f the land can be put Into cultivated crops,” continued Professor Scudder, “there should be no difficul ty In getting rid of tbe thistle. Then after the crop is harvested and the weeds begin to appear in the fall, the ground should be disked, and the disk ing repeated in the spring. This will cause the seeds to germinate and the plants may be completely destroyed by tbe plowing or cultivation that fol lows. “In badly Infested fields, the land cannot be entirely cleaned of this weed until cultivated in row crops. If this does not seem possible, the fields should be disked after harvest, and again as soon as the young seedlings have started to grow. Then, early In the fall, use the disk plow, set deep, and sow the field thickly to vetch and oats or vetch and rye. If this crop Is seeded early In September and gets a good start. It will smother out the thistle and most other annual weeds. It can then be cut early in the spring for soiling, or plowed under as green manure. "Where the sow thistle appears in pastures, sheep are very effective In keeping It down. In any case, it should not be allowed to go to seed, as It can propagate itself In no other way. "Tbe weed is especially liable to ac cumulate along tbe roadside and In waste places. Here the beet method Is to clip such areas before tbe seeds form, and follow by tborough burning. If possible, these waste places should be plowed and seeded to some such grass as perennial rye, which will crowd out most of the weeds. The grass may later be cut for hay or pastured oft with sheep.” Washington.—Americana in Mexico are heeding President Wilson's warn ing to get out and State Department officials believe that two weeks hence there hardly will be 1000 of them left in the troubled southern republic. Although many bad refused to con sider leaving before the word came of the President's advice, hundreds have been starting for home or abroad dally during the last three weeks and It is estimated that nearly 10,000, or about as many as still are in Mexico, have gotten away. Of those now preparing to leave, 4000 will need help from the Govern ment, so the 9100,000 appropriation I asked for by Secretary Bryan some > time ago to aid refugees will be need ed Immediately. Of the 4000, about 3000 will come out by the East coast porta and the northern border, the other 1000 through the West coast porta.

NEW GRAINS OF HARDY MERIT Speltz and emmer are really two distinct .grains, and differ practically aa much as tbe pear differs from the* apple. Emmer is a German name, and we have no English equivalent Speltz is a plant of similar appear ance, but quite different Both emmer and speltz are grown In Russia, and It Is from Russia that the emmer has been introduced into tbe great plains region, stretching from the Canada line to tbe Gulf of Mexico west of the 98th meridian, where the annual rain fall is only from 15 to 20 inches. Emmer is really a species of wheat, with heads almost always bearded, very compact, and much flattened on the two-ridged sides. It is a hardy plant, resists drouth and rust, and Is recommended by Prof. Carleton in Farm and Home as a valuable grain in the section above mentioned. It is in fact a grain for the semi-arid regions, but often compares well with other crops In the more humid sec tions because it stands up well, is comparatively rust, smut and fungus proof, and drouth resistant. It is probably the least exacting of all the grains so far as cultivation is concerned. It should always be drilled, at about the same rate per acre as oats and as early as possible, as It will stand a good degree of spring frost The yield is usually from 20 to 40 bushels per acre, although as high as 63 have been obtained. Its average yield probably does not differ much from that of oats, and it Is preferable where oats are liable to rust or lodge. Its feeding value is probably less than that of either oats or barley. The silk Industry in Italy employs 190.000 operators and 19,000 looms. The value of the attar of roses In dustry of Turkey Is estimated at 9L- 000,000 annually. The French people are great chicken raisers. A return gives the Income de rived by them from this Industry as 9395,000,000. An expert from the United States has been engaged by the Brazilian Government to conduct experiments by which that country hopes to in crease Its cotton crop. Twenty-five years ago Argentine had to Import Its flour. Today it sells wheat to the world, the annual harvest value amounting to more than 9500,- 000,000. Spring-tongs, terminating tn pointed blades, have been patented by a Con necticut Inventor for removing weeds, roots and all, from the ground.

TO AID WESTERN SETTLERS Secretary Lane Says Homebuilders of West Are Heroes. Colorado Springs—Closer co-opera tion between the government and the settlers in the reclamation of many sections of tbe arid West, was the keynote of an address in this eity by I Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane before tbe Fifth Annual Con gress of Governors. Mr. Lane’s speech was taken as an announcement of the new policy adopt ed by the Interior department gained from a tour of the West during tbe laat few weeks, where be has inspect ed dozens of irrigation projects with a view to gaining information that will enable tbe Wilson administration to do the most for the farmer and stock- man. “In my visits thia summer through land in process of reclamation,” aaid Secretary Lane, “I found thousands of self sacrificing men and women who are displaying as much heroism, forti tude, endurance and self sacrifice as has ever been shown by soldiers in any part of the world on tbe field of battie. Far from railroads and amid many difficulties, they are building homes, and I was particularly touched by the many noble, suffering women on whose shoulders falls tbe main burden of the home. It is my concep tion that the main duty of the United States government in its land depart ment is to help the people to make homes and if we lighten their burden, the government of the United States will suffer not at all.” CHILDREN’S WORK LAUDED School Hygiene Is Discussed at In ternational Congress. Buffalo, N. Y. — Practical and ap plied hygiene !• much further ad vanced in the Philippines than in the United States, according to Dr. Alien J. McLaughlin, surgeon of the United States public health service, who was one of the speakers at the Fourth In ternational Congress on School Hy giene. "In this country,” said Dr. Mc Laughlin, "we are prone to overlook the enormous influence of school chil dren upon the hygiene of tbe home. The children of poor, ill-educated par ents are often the intermediary through which the simple gospel of hygiene and disease prevention reaches the parents. In the Philippines, in many instances, it is only because of the children that tbe parents carry out the instructions of the health offi cer. “With an epidemic of contagious disease existing, there is a tendency in most communities to close the schools. In the’ Philippines, on the contrary, it is the policy of the bureau to keep schools open because of their extraordinary value in teaching the precepts of disease prevention. “Open air schools and open school rooms were the general topics of the day, and it was practically the unani mous opinion of tbe delegates that children in rooms with windows wide open, even during the winter months, are immeasurably more healthful and > make more rapid progress in their stud ies than under other conditions. ” BAD POTATOES ARE BURNED Seattle Refuses Worm-Eaten Spuds From California. Seattle, Wash.—F. N. Rhodes, dis trict horticultural inspector, after con demning a number of carloads of po tato» shipped from California to this market, has determined to invoke the aid of the criminal courts in punish ing those responsible for attempting to force wormy spuds on Seattle con sumers. A carload of potatoes shipped from Sacramento to a Seattle commission firm on August 18 was destroyed. In spector Rhodes says he found the po-1 tatoes bady infected with potato tuber moths, and that he took 105 infected potatoes from one sack. Mr. Rhodes, backed by J. H. Per kins, commissioner of agriculture at Olympia, some time ago sent a cir- ' eular to California shippers announc ing that hereafter all potatoes shipped into the state and found to be infected would be burned. “This moth.” said Mr. Rhodes, “is the most dangerous pest known. A few years ago it destroyed nearly the entire crop of Australia. Tasmania, New Zealand, India, China, South Africa and Jamaica, and is now a grave menace to California.” Japan’« Note Delivered.

AMERICANS URGED TO LEAVE MEXICO Authorities, However, Held to Strict Account. President’s Message Read to Con* frees Urges Patience With Southern Neighbor. Washington.—President Wilson has warned all Americans to leave Mexico at once. At the same time the Ameri can embassy and all consular repre sentatives throughout the southern re public were instructed "to notify all officiate, civil and military in Mexico” that they would be held strictly re sponsible for harm or Injury done to Americans or their property. Secretary Bryan diapatched long tel egrams to the embassy and all consu lar representatives quoting extracts from the president's address to con gress In which he reviewed the futile peace negotiations with the Huerta government and the policy the United States would pursue hereafter toward Mexico. In these messages tbe consuls were Instructed to give every aid possible to departing Americans, furnishing transportation and any other pecuni ary assistance to the needy. They were informed that a sufficient num ber of ships would be provided to carry away those in the seacoast towns. Foreign governments will be noti fied of tbe action of the United States, so that they may give similar advice, and the American consuls will help all foreigners in any emergency. These developments followed close ly on the reading by President Wilson of his address to congress, in which he outlined the policy of the United States toward Mexico as one of abso lute non-interference and strictest neu trality. The president held out hope for a resumption of negotiations and ultimate success of a policy of persua sion backed by the moral force of the governments of the world. In a statement which breathed re gret and sympathy In every phrase, the president In bls message to con gress clung tenaciously to optimism as to the ultimate result, notwithstand ing the pessimistic facts confronting the two nations. After picturing the hopelessness for Mexico if she main tained her present position, “isolated and without friends who can effectu ally aid her,” the president announced the necessity of a firm neutral stand by this government, a policy of “hands ofF to await the time of Mexico's awakening. To prevent the shipment of arms or munitions of war into any part of Mexico or to any faction, the United States troops on the border already have been warned to exercise in creased vigilance. Whether more troops will be sent to the border Is a question to be determined within the next few days. Major-General Wood, who has been Inspecting the troops in Texas, already is on his way to Washington. The diplomatic relations between the two countries. It is understood, will remain as they are at present, each country maintaining an embassy without official recognition, presided over by a charge d’affaires. Though the president told congress that every thing this nation did in the situation confronting it must be “rooted in patience and done with calm, disinter ested deliberation,” he had no word of rebuke for Mexico and reached the determination to maintain strict neu trality after having presented the whole situation to the members of the foreign relations committee In con gress. Not an essential detail did the president withhold In his presentation of the case for the public, publishing also to the world the reply of the Mexican government to Mr. Lind. Everything that Mexico has said to this government in response to the proposals was made public. Including the Huerta alternative that nothing could be welcomed except unrestrict ed recognition of his government NEW GEM BECOMES FAD. Kaiser’s Admiration for the Hellodore Starts Craze In Germany. Berlin.—The hellodore, a new gem which was recently discovered in the German African colonies, will be the vogue among fashionable people be cause the Kaiser has Just expressed his admiration. The new gem resem bles Alexandrite and has a peculiarity of changing Its color from golden yel low in daylight to green In artificial light The kaiser was so struck with the beauty of this gem that he ordered seven stones set with pearls and dia monds In the form of a cross, a gift for the kalserine.

C.—Breathing accu sations against the diaphanous gown and Its companion, the slashed skirt Representative Heflin, the Adonis of the anti-suffrage adherents, turned his attention to dress reforms. He said In part: “Instead of the scriptural 'by their frulta ye shall know them,* It would aay 'by their dress or lack of dress we shall know them.' The evil genius of lustful fashion through Im modest dress is playing havoc with the women of this country who follow these Indecent fashions and make our public house-ways a scandal and a byword.” Kansas Mercury Climbs.
