NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS Dictator Leguia of Peru Is Ousted by a Military Revolution. By EDWARD W. PICKARD ELEVEN years of dictatorship by Augusto B. Leguia was enough for Peru. or at least for Its-army, so he has been ousted frbrii the office of president, , together wrth his .entire government. 'The revolutionary movement started in the province of Aa-quipn. where the troops. led by. .Lieut. Vol. Sanchez Cerroi arrested some <\f their officers and took rontrol of Arequlpa, Third city of the republic. T i e revolt spread rapidly to other prov nees and was •>;i»i,ly sueiessfiiT v, erj where. Meanwhile there,, was surface tranquility in Lima. the capital, anti President l.e? ,pu7a aHended the race- ns usual, But this daiji’t last long. A military junta got busy nt Lima, the cabinet was forced do resign, ami a" few hours Inter Leguia himself gave up his office and took refuge on the cruiser Aliniratite Grau, The vessel steamed nwiiy. the intention being Inland the deposed dictator at some foreign port': but the Junta sent a wireless threat to haw the officers court mnrtialed if they did_nol return within.4B hours, and they yielded. At this writing the fate of Leguia is uncertain. It was Understood he would be put on trial for his "misdeeds." this course ‘being insisted on- by the students of Lima, and also by t’erro. A temporary government was set up In Lima with G<H», Manuel Maria pome lit its head. Ilowi’ii r. < erro went to the capital city within a few days, and his Arequlpa junta w;ls recognized as the real government Os the. country. Before resigning. Leguia des-, ignated first General Martinez/ and then General Sarmiento as heads of a new cabinet, but the military revolutionists would a<ept neither. leguia .thereupon wrote his resignation, saying.: • ■ ■ -I hereby rtbae another chapter la Peru's history, The State department In Washington was informed that Lieut. Com. Harold F. Grow, l'. s. naval reserve, <>f Greenville. Mich,, ami Elmer Faucett of Savona. N. Y„ both. aviators, were being detained by the Peruvian revolutionists. Ferdinand L. Mayer, American charge d’affaires at Lima, WM instructed to take "all appro priate measures” to secure Grow's re lease. Though the.two men were held as prisoners, the Stale department was not much concerned about their safety. Mr. Mayer in a message to Washington said the revolutionists had premised to protect foreign nationals and maintain order. LTNLESS belated returns change the ' figures materially, Senator Cole Blease and James F. Byrne will be the candidates in a runoff I‘enmcratic primary In South Carolina to choose the man to fill the seat now held by Blease. In an eight-cornered race for the gubernatorial nomination Olin D. Johnston was well in the Jead. In both cases nomination Is considered equivalent to election. Democrats of Idaho in state convention nominated Joseph Tyler of Emmett to oppose Senator Borah. The Republicans re-nomlnaled Borah and Representatives Burton L. French and Addison T.’ Smith by acclamation. For the Republican gubernatorial nomination in California James Rolph, Jr., mayor of San Francisco, had a good lead over Gov. C. C. Young and Huron Fitts, district allontey of I-os Angeles. Young was indorsed by the California Anti-Saloon league, which explained that Fitts also was dry. "but something had to be done to defeat Rolph.” Mississippi Democrats re-nominated Senator Pat Ilarriwn and the eight sitting representatives in the lower house. In the run-off Democratic primary in Texas Mrs. Miriam Fei-gbson wan-de-cisively defeated t>y Ross S. Stealing for the gubernatorial nomination. IN A rejwrt published by the Treasury department it is disclosed that the Internal revenue receipts for the fiscal year June 30 last, were a little more than S.T.OOO.OOO.OiM>. This was Jxret about $100,000,000 more than the receipts of the previous year. Most of the Increase was registered in income taxes, which showed a gain of $78,000,000 over the 1929 fiscal year, notwithstanding the ftict that the 1 per cent tax reduction voted by congress last December affected the quarterly payments of taxes paid in March and June of the present calendar year. This increase was attributed largely to

the exceptional prosperity enjoyed by corporations and individuals in the calendar year 1929, against which the taxes collected in these two quarters were assessed. There was diversity of opinion as to whether or not it would be advisable or possible to continue the 1 per cent reduction for another year. President Hoover wishes this -t«» he done if it can. and the Republican leaders in congress are ready to supp>rt legislation to that effect if the I’resideht recommends it. No definite statement as to whether business conditions will ’ make this continuance possible has been issu«‘*l from the Treasury department, but Secretary Mellon and some <>f the officials under him are said to be very doubtful as to its wisdouu fearing'that a deficit would t>e created due to reduced customs' receipts‘and shrinkage, in current revenues. 1 Seven states, each of which turned more than SlOo.tMXl.lW in income tax receipts into the, treasury, paid approximately 7" percent of the government, total income-tax collections.

TRAYLOR of Chicago, .A 1 Nicholas ITosker of Louisville and Morton Prentis of Baltimore wen* appointed at’a conference with President Hoover to prepare recommendations for utilizing available financing agencies for drought relief. Their work was based on a broad plan of setting up state and local credit corporations to act as intermediaries in handling loans to- farmers of the affected regions. The results of their study of the question were submitted t<» the financial representatives of 15 states who met in Washington with Secretary of Agriculture Hyde. Henry M. Robinson of Los Angeles was made chairman of this financial committee, and its meetings continued throughout the week. Secretary Hyde, who is chairman of the genera! drought relief committee, presented a report from the American Railway association showing that the railroads already had transported 065 carloads of feed and live stock at special half rates which were put into effect in the affected areas. Most of the haulin'g thus far has been In X'irginia, XVest Virginia, Ohio, and Maryland. Mr. Hyde also announced the appointment of a federal “co-ordination committee” which will assist the federal and state committees in their work. C. XV. XVarburton of the extension bureau of the Department of Agriculture will head the group. An optimistic note in the general agricultural picture was seen In the agriculture department report that farmers intend seetiing 4.5 per cent less winter wheat this season than last year. The state Democratic council of Kansas lined itself up with Governor. Reed, adopting a resolution opp«»sing the reduction in acreage of “any crop which can T»e produced with profit in this state.” \’OT more than fifteen hundred members of the Grand Army of the Republic were able to attend the annual encampmcat that was held tn Cincinnati, and hardly a thousand could take part in th<\ grand parade which always Is the feature of the gathering. All that could muster the strength walked in the procession, for those old boys resent the infirmities of age and hate to be carried In aaromdbiies on that occasion. The United States marine band was present by special act of congress and

played at all the important functions of tlie encampment. Annual meetings were held by the six subsidiary organizations of the G. A. R.—Army Nurses of the Civil War. National Women's Relief Corps, Ladies of the G. A. R., Daughters of Union- Veterans. Sons of Union Veterans, mid its auxiliary. PRESIDENT HOOVER was gradually making up the new federal tariff board; First tie named as its < ! airman Henry T. Fletcher, I‘enns\L vnnia Rejiublicnn and former diplomat, and then he selected for membership Thomas Walker I’age of Virginia, a Democrat and a widely known economist. Mr. Page, who is. sixtyfour years old. served on the original tariff board under President Taft, and, also on tlie tariff commission under Preshlents Wilson mid Harding. viriHLE excited throngs were wit* ' V nessing the national air racesat Chicago, gasping at the extraordinary stunt Hying and staring at the notable figures of aviation gathered there, ■ four aviators front Gernyiny completed a flight from Berlin to New X’.ork in Six hops. Some time ago they had reached Iceland, and after delay there they liewon to Greenland, then to Labrador ami Halifax, and. finally to Ne.w York harbor. Their leader is Capt. Wolfgang von Gronau and. their plane Is .a Dornier-Wahl (lying.beat. The first fatal accident at the air races occurred when Lieut. Jack P. De Shazo, a navy flyer, crashed, killing himself and a concession holder at the port. ’ THOUGH the attacks of the Afridis on Peshawar have been repulsed, the flanger to.the British on tlie northwest frontier of India is not removed. The XVaziris to the southwest have become ,a« tive and many encounters are reported. While conferring with the mullah of one band of tribesmen, an English captain shot in the back and in the ensuing fight eigiit of his men and thirty-two of tlie natives were killed. v Mahatma Gandhi’s peace terms were still under consideration but there seenusl little hope of their acceptance or their alteration. It was said he had demanded a definite pledge of dominion status for India within a specified time, as well as immediate aholit-ion of the salt tax and release of 30.060 political prisoners, and that .Great Britain was unwilling to grant any of these demands now: FROM the British foreign bffice came the official report of the League of Nations mandate commission concerning the Palestine conflicts of last year and a supplemental memorandum from the foreign office in reply. The latter denies with considerable asperity the charges of the commission of negligeqce -in having inadequately provide*! policing that would have averted the bloody rioting of Arabs and Jews. Besides bolding the mandatory power rest»onsft»le in. large measure for the disorders in I'alestine. the commission discusses lengthily the question of Jewish immigration, in this latter instance viewing "with approval the mandatory ixiwer’s intention of keeping Jewish immigration proportionate to the country's capacity for economic absorption.” COLLAPSE of the northern rebel alliance against the Nationalist government of China seemed imminent, if dispatches from Shanghai could be relied on, and President Chiang Kaishek was preparing for an early drive toward Tientsin. The Nationalist government, upon the Instructions of Chiang, issued an order granting amnesty to all officers of the northern coalition, excepting Generals Yen and Feng. In the event they professed allegiance to the central government and would renounce their connections with the rebel leaders of the north. DEATH was tmsy among well known persons during the week. Among those who passed away were Lon Chaney, star of the screen; Frank O. Wetmore, dean of Chicago bankers: Thomas Sterling, former senator from South Ihtkota; XV. R. Spillman, chief postal Inspector ; J. R. Gordon, president of the Emergency Fleet corporation; Rev. Dr. David G. XVylie. president of the lord's Day alliance; G. N. Saltzgaber, former commissioner of pensions; Edward P. Morse. New York capitalist, and Justice E. Ray Stevens of the Wisconsin Supreme court. PREMIER XValery Slawek of Poland and his cabinet resigned because of disputes with the parliament, and President Moscicki called on Marshal Pilsudski to form a new government. So that veteran “strong man” is again the nominal as well as the vlrtnal boss of his country. ÜB. Western Newspaper Union.)

DAIRY, GET BEST RESULTS BY FEEDING GRAIN Adjust Calf’s Ration to Prevent Tendency to Scour. To get best results, calves should have about all of the grain they can eat up to the time they are five to six months old and a good methods of feeding would be to have enough grain in the manger so that there is some grain there practically all of the time It would be desirable to feed the grain twice a day, aiming to feel it so that there will be just a little left from each feeding when it is time to give the next feed. Calves are handled this way to the age of about six months, after that they can be turned to pasture or fed about the same as you would feed older cattle and should go ahead and make satisfactory growth. It Is only occasionally, that it is desirable to try to treat a calf for scours by any other means than to adjust the ration so as to prevent the tendency to scour. Changing grain ration should help to reduce tlie amount of scouring in calves. It is necessary to avoid feeding too much skim milk also. Generally about one gallon of whole milk at a feed twice a day is as much as any calf can handle during the first two. or three weeks of its life and many calves will not handle quite this niuclk It is doubtful if it is ever desirable to feed more than one and onehalf gallons <>f skim milk at a feed twice a day to calves after they are put on the skim milk. Larger amounts of milk are often the cause of scouring and digestive disturbances. Putting Milk Cows in One Large Box Stall At various times there has been mentioned it system of dairy cow housing that has an able exponent in the head of the Illinois University Dairy department—Prof. W. .1. Fraser. The plan that Professor Fraser has. followed for years at the university farm. St. Paul. Is to run the milk cows in large box stalls, the whole herd in one stall. The cows pre stanchioned only for grain feeding and milking. Hay ami ensilage are fe<l in racks. This plan has been quite widely adopted in Illinois and those who practice it claim that labor is considerably reduced, the cows are in better health, the manure is preserved more -perfectly anti the cows are cleaner. To keep rhe cows clean about one-third more straw will be required than when stanchioned. The cows so stabled are neev sarily tiehorned. This is considered ar advantage whether the cows are in stanchions or loose boxes. Hot Water Effectively All Milk Fat Several agricultural colleges and hundreds of users of machines have found- -from experience that hot water. not less titan 160 degrees Fahrenheit, will effectively remove the milk fat that is so destructive to the rubber parts and at the same time kill most of the bacteria. Cold water should first be sucked through the machine immediately after the milking is finished. By lifting the teat cups up and down, an air brushing action will be sugared as. well as a water brushing effect. This will remove the milk that is in the machine. Following the hot water rinse some users of machines find it desirable to keep the teat ’ cups on solution racks <l. Sicned for them. This arrangement keeps the. teat cups ami tubes tilled With a fresh ehloriue /*[>TiliZ.!tig solution as is not |x>ssible with the jars which were formerly used. Dairy Facts Yearling and two-year-old heifers should be fed very little grain. • • • All Inferior calves in Individuality and breeding should be vealed or otherwise dis|>ose<i of. • • • The young bulls should not be used for service until they are a year old and then should be given very light service. • • • XX’eed out the unprofitable dairy cows. It is more profitable to milk threv ft»od cows than a half dozen inter ones. • • • Kelp is of value in the ration for the iodine content, more particularly in localities where calves are known to be afflicted with big neck or goiter. • • • Os the various means by which one may jget greater returns from a given acreage of pasture, none is more Important than turning live stock from one pasture to another. • • • When the daughters o ' a bull come into’production, that bull will soon be proved to be either a valuable breeding animal or just so much soup meat. * ' e A cow which gives 10.000 pounds of milk in a year returns SU« more ; above feed cost than the typical New York state cow. • • • Very heavy milk producers always require more nutrieffis than they Can get from grass alone, even when it is well matured. « • • Many heifers are bred too young and never attain the maximum size or production they normally would have reached If not bred so early. • • • The full-fed cow is the most profitable cow. Skimping on the feed fed good producing dairy cows in summer is rarely made up by stuffing in winter.

In many of the smaller towns and on the farm there is a demand for a small home such as shown in the* illustration. On larger farms this would make a very excellent tenant houss while for the use of .those who live In town it is an excellent design for the small lot or for the family of not more than five people. The house is 24 feet by 24 feet. Its foundation walls are straight, which ? means economical construction cost. The plain walls of the square house are broken by an unusual roof design.

The overhang of and the attractive entrance porch with Storage Type of Water Heater Best for Home The ability to turn a faucet at any hour of the day and night and get al! the hot water necessary is one of the greatest comforts of present-day American life. How to get hot water in tlie spring and summer months when the house heating plant is not in operation is a problem that confronts many homeowners. Hot water is needed for the family wash, for cleaning and cooking, for shaving, and so. a soothing bath. An abundant, supply of hot water available at all times shortens the housewife's work in the kitchen by hours in a week, by days in a year, and by years in a lifetime. The demand today is not merely for a coil in the house heating plant which will supply hot water when the heating plant is in operation, but for a dependable all-the-year-around supply of hot water. ? X'arious types of water heaters are available Some burn coal, some use oil, but most of them utilize gas as a fuel. A few types of electric water heaters are on the market. There are three general kinds of gas water heaters. The cheapest is the “side-arm” type which is so called because tire water is heated in a copper coil placed at the side of a galvanized iron tank. XX'hile the original purchase price for this type of heater is small, it is relatively inefficient in operation because the uninsulated tank allows the water to cool off very quickly. Furthermore, as the hot water is drawn off. the cold water comes in and cools off the rest of the water and the tank. Foundation of Home Shows Its Condition Before you buy a house, you should start with the basement and examine the walls for water stains tal water lines caused by water see.rage or water .standing In the basement. The foundation and retaining walls should be inspected for proper thickness. A minimum width for main foundation walls below grade for. a light frame structure of one or tv.o stories should not be less than 10 inches if of concrete: 13 inches if us brick or 18 inches for stone. Concrete walls having a sand or clay appearance are deficient in cement, or else are constructed of bank sand and gravel containing a large percentage of loam. Such walls should be examined for sand and loam pockets which are deterimental to the walls’ structural strength and permit the entrance of water. a The wall plate or mud sill, which lies directly upon the foundations and upon which the floor rests, should be minutely examined for dry rot and decay.

colonial seats on either side and the trellis over which vines or flowers can be trained are features which will appeal to tlie prospective home builder. The entrance door leads to a stair . hall and at the left is the living room extending most the width of the building. This r<><»m is 16 feet by 11 feet 6 inches wide. It- is connected h _ ’XI' . i —‘ —11, I |« j ” I \ n |. 13 3 Ah Q* M V tiAU.

The kitchen is of good size. ! b<‘ing 10 feet 9 inches by 7 feet 6 inches. Upstairs there are two large bedrooms, the one at the front of the house being 19 feet 6 inches- by 11 feet 6 inches. The one at the rear is 13 feet 3 inches long by U feet deep. Both rooms have ample closet space in connection with them. At the head of the stairs,off the hall in a convenient place is the batliroom. Tliis house is set on a concrete foundation and has a basement of the same size as the house itself. It is of frame construction, the outside walls being covered with ship lap siding. This home buildingdesign will appeal to those who want a small attractive home but who do not have a large sum of mo'ney to invest. Another obvious disadvantage of this type of heater Is.the fact that it is necessary to light it every time hot water is nee< ed. XX’hen the heater is in the basement, this is often a serious inconvenience. Tlie two other kinds of gas water heaters are tlie storage heater and the instantai eons neater. The storage iieater is tlie type most popular with the average housewife. It is economical, yet very convenient. Once thi.’t type of iieater is installed, tlie home-owner need no longer worry about id? supply of hot water. XX’lien tlie water in the storage tank falls below a certain temperature—whatever temperature the home-own-er desires (usually about 150 degrees) —the burner is automatically lighted froth a pilot which burns continuously. Thus, there is always a tank full of hot w»ter. The best heaters are well Insulated with thick blankets of rock wool, asbestos, hair or cork. The Insulation is between the outer jacket of steel and the inner tank of rust-proof metal. Instantaneous gas heaters have no storage tank. At a turn of a faucet anywhere In the house, a powerful flame is lighted in the burner and water is heated in an elaborate structure of copper coils. Hot ■ water pouts from the faucet almost instantly. This type of heater may be used efficiently in a home; apartment, school or hospital where the demand for hot water is constant. But. if the demand for hot water is intermittent, such as is usually the case in the average home, tills type of. heater would prove expensive in operating cost. Use Care in Selecting Heater for Residence Selecting the type of furnace best adapted to meet building conditions demands as great consideration as the location of radiators and other features <>f installation with a network of piping. A pipeless furnace would have heated the building as evenly and as well at considerably less expense. Also pipeless heaters have been installed in certain buildings where satisfactory results never could have been obtained with another type of plant Supply Tile Flooring on Square-Foot Basis Tile flooring is generally supplied practically on a square-foot basis, with extra charges for specialties Nike a sanitary cover, moldings and the like. The use of tile has been extended from bathroom floor to many other uses in the house —the vestibule, stair treads, the mantel facing and hearth, kitchen floors, drain boards at the side of the sink and even window stools.

mVLTRY GROWING CHICKENS NEED GREEN FEED Giving Them Free Range on Alfalfa Is Favored. The ideal conditions which to raise a rtut-k ~f growing chicks is to allow them free range on a field of alfalfa. “Not every poultryman can do this,” sayi C. F. Parrish, extension poultryman. at tlie North Carolina State college. “Where it is impossible, the poultryman should see to it that his chicks get some green feed each day. Green feed is essential. XX’here the chicks are confined to small yards, it is a good plan to supply one to one and a half pounds of lawn clippings, oats, alfalfa, rape, rye. or short pieces of any kind of green grain crop to each 1(X» chicks, while they are from eight to ten weeks old. Toe, amount ■ must be increased as the chicks get older. One hundred hens usually require from six to seven pounds of green feed a day. Next year's profits will depend on how well the growing stock is developed.” One of the strict requirements for a profitable poultry business ,is to furnish a sufficient quantity of the right kind of feed to make flesh, muscle and bone find? to supply” energy for tlie growing chicks. In addition, they need dean, dry quarters, fresh water ana shade. Tlie green feed is also important, though It is oftentimes overlooked, Mr. Parrish. He then suggests that the brooder house be kept dean and all droppings removed at least twice each week, - Mr. Parrish says that tlie poultry business of North Carolina is growing rapidly. About 90 per cent of the farms in the state now have poultry on them, and the new interest in blood testing is assuring growers of healthy chicks from tlie hatcheries and breeding . (locks. ,More than 150.000 hens will l>e blood tested next fall and winter, according to applications which have been received for this work during tlie past few weeks. All of this shows a more intelligent interest in the poultry business, says Mr. Parrish. Early Roosting Should Be Taught to Chicks Early roosting should lie encouraged. The sooner the chicks are on the roost the sooner the poultryman's troubles are oyer. Roosts should be placed on 1 the two sides and rear of the broodeF house. Tlie roost elevated one foot from the floor. The roosts may J»e hinged at the rear of the bouse. Two by two inch material is very satisfactory providing the edges, are rounded off. The roosts should be 10 inches apart. One-half inch mesh chick netting should be placed underneath the roosts in order to force the chicks up bn tlie resists arid to prevent them from crowding in thd corners under the roosts. Table Scraps Are Good for All Poultry Flocks Table scraps and waste food* products make more of less of a balanced ration for a small flock of farm hens when combined with scratch grain,. But he careful about feeding the hens any spoiled canned goods or middy feed. Such materials may cause some of the losses that are blamed on disease. And it pays best to use a laying mash even' if the hens have plenty of table scraps. They will usually eat the sera p's first but the balanced mash will be there when the other materials are lacking. Hens seem to have few digestible troubles when they have the dry mash containing bran and easily digested ground grains. Poultry Notes Artificial hatching .is practiced almost exclusively where turkey raising,, is engaged In on a large scale. • • • Sanitation can and will keep chick mortality well below 10 per cent in the flock, although 15 to 20 per cent has been accepted as about the usual thing in many-sections. . • • • Keep eggs infertile and you can keep them longer. Kill or sell cockerels after the hatching season Is over. , " • • • Are the hens moulting now? Sell them while the price is still good. The kind of feed to give your flock furwishes much food for thought. .« • • Now is the time to determine If yon are to need new cockerels in the breeding pens next year.’ You will have a larger group from which to select and usually lower prices in the fall. • • • All brooder houses should be cleaned before placing chicks in them and cleaned at least once each week thereafter. • • • Eggs may be preserved In water glass while they are cheap and used when prices go up or hens stop laying. Before the pullets begin production they should be fully mature and well fleshed. It is advisable to feed a liberal amount of grain now in order to build up a surplus of flesh. * * * Rigid culling of pullets in the fall eliminates many birds which will not pay a profit. Feed and care should not be wasted on nonproducers. ,• • • With the tendency toward buying of eggs on a grade basis, poultry breeders are becoming more interested in size and interior quality of their eggs. « * * Early hatched pullets that start to lay in October and November are usually the most profitable egg producers. High egg prices occur in the early fall and winter months.
