of Current Events the World Over V Tarm Board Quits Buying Cotton as ell as Wheat New Marketed — ;1 Doings in Geneva. By EDWARD W. PICKARD

PRICE fixing by stabilization has finally been aban- ' doned by the federal farm board, as a great many citizens believe It should have been long ago. Cttr) Williams. vfeeXhalrman of the board, announced that no further purchases of wheat or cotton would be considered under

any circumstances. “Stabilization.” said Mr. Williams, “is valuable in the face of temporary or seasonal surpluses. But the board has discovered, and It hopes that the American people have discovered, that continued purchases In , the face of continued production Is not a remedy for the agricultural situation. ■' The board's cessation of wheat burins had previously been announced, bitt the statement of Its determination to withdraw from the cotton market was new. and ten* n«t plearaht news for the southern planters. E. A. Cudahy. Jr„ president of the Cudahy Packing company, gave notice th tit his company .would Invest 10 per cent of lt> southern sales uppo December 1 in cotton bought on the open market, the total to be tint* f'nvewted being estimated at BboW SLOOO.OOft. The cotton will be held by the Cudahy company for one year if neurssary. ,or until such time'as cotton returns ffftEW cents n pound. The first' purcha|du... Were made at about 7 cents a pound. WHATEVER the poor farmJwqrd does seem to anger a lot of Americans. .The trade of wheat fur cottier. With Brazil, appeared to be n wise move, but first the shipping interest* wailed because the grain was to go in Brazilian ships; then the coffee dealers In the United States raised a loud howl thtrt their trade would be Injured; an<| now the Millers' National federation is up inarm* The reason for the protest of the tnUlers is that Brazil, as ohe result of the wheat-coffee barter, has declared an' embargo on all Imports of flour for. eighteen months. Most of the flour for South American export is milled In Buffalo. N. Y . and Severn! southern cities, and the millers there will be hard hit by the .•nitom*. Ami that Isn't all. Argentina heretofore has been* the granary for Bradl, and the deal with the farm board virtually kills the sale of nearly 10,000,000 bushels of Argentine grain to Brazil annually. The Argentine government has registered a formal protest In Washington, but of course the deal will go through anyhow. If the farm board reaches terms with China for the snle of a lot c< wheat on long term credit, it Is possible some of the old shipping bonrd | vessels will be resuscitated to carry the grain and will then be sold In the | orient It Is also suggested that this wheat be shipped in cotton bags, which wonW help, by 7.Xq»,<W t‘*y:s, ip reducing rhe cotton surplus,' It Is fig ured this whole plan would give cm ployuient to much American labor.

SEVERAL Incidents within the last few days have served to bolster up the Roosevelt boom for the Democratic Presidential nomination. After angering Tammany — apparently—by supporting the plans of the Republican legislators of New York in the in-

vestigation of the administration of New York city, the governor smoothed all this out by approving the demand of . Tammany that the inquiry be enlarged to take in the whole state. Then came the report of Samuel Soabury. commissioner, in the case of District Attorney Thonuts C. T. Crain. Mr. Seabury mildly censured Crain hut recommended that he should not be removed from office. The worst he had to srty against Crain, after months of delving into his record was that the Tammany prosecutor had • bnsit-d himself inefWMively" and that particularly as regards the racketeering situation, had falfod to act “in a fitting ami competent manner.” Mr. Crain being a good Tammany man. the supposed breach between Governor Roosevelt and Tammany was still further les-st-nel. find the prospect that he would have the support of the entire Democracy of New York in next year’s convention was still further increased. ONE <>f those' brutal crimes that shock the nation occasionally came to light when Hnrry Powers of Clarksburg. \V. Va.. confessed that he had murdered Mrs. Asta Eicher of Park Ridge, a suburb of Chicago, and her three children, and also Mrs. Dorothy Lemke of Massachusetts. The bodies of his five victims were found buried under his garage. Powers had wooed Mrs. Eicher through a matrimonial Journal and enticed her and the children to Clarksburg, where he slew them with a hammer and by strangulation. Since be had been corresponding with many, other woman the authorities have been searching his place for other bodies. GOV. C. BEN ROSE of Montana, convinced that many forest fires were being set by unemployed men so they could get work fighting them, placed Several counties under mar- ■ tial law and sent detachments of the National Guard to halt the incendiarism. SIR HALL CAINE, one of England's most eminent novelists, died at his home on the Isle of Man of heart disease. at the age of seventy-eight. His novels tnade him the storm center of many controversies and they also made him one of the wealthiest novelists in the worki. ’

FINE OLD GARDEN TO BE “RESTORED” Good News for Lovers of Horticulture. The oldest botanical garden In the United States IS located within »the limits of the city of Philadelphia. and Is *one of the shrines erf the horticulturally minded tourist. Tfie two-hundredth anniversary of the founding of this old garden was celebrated on June 5 and 6 of this year, with ceremonies suited to the occasion. The opening -day was spent in special exercises of a historical nature, and on the second day the visitors were guests at the garden. tea being served in the old home of the founder. John Bartram, a section of which was built in 1700. by Swedish settlers, and became the foundation from which Mr. Bartram built later. The building was purchased by Ur. Bartram in 1728, and the original house still .emains in the garden enclosure. The Bartram garden is now undergoing a process of restoration that will bring it back to its original form, a fitting tribute to the plat of land that has been devoted to garden purposes for two hundred years. The house has been restored to its original form and now the garden, through the efforts of the garden clubs of Philadelphia and surrounding country. ’-11l be made to resemble as nearly as possible the garden of the old days. These efubs have undertaken rs their first work to restore’ to the garden the native rhododendrons, mountain laurel and other evergreens. John Bartram was a native American, his birthplace being Darby. Pa. near Philadelphia. He lived to the good old age of seventy-eight and died in Bartram house in 1777. The garden Is located on the west bank of the Schuylkill river, and for many years it was a most isolated spot. It was through his voluminous correspondence with Peter Collinson, a grower in London. England. and the exchange of many seeds and planta that Mr. Bartram s work became well known. Another famous botanical garden which ranks as the finest In the world is at Bintenzorg. Java, this garden in its present state of perfection being the product of nearly a century of effort on the part of the Dutch Inhabitants of Java. So wonderful are the flowers and plants that the garden, which includes 90 acres, is known as “The Garden of the East.” L. C.

These are Kanarl trees reaching 100 feet overhead and have tall straight trunks, covered with staghorn ferns, Birdsnest ferns, orchids and every type of parasite and air plant that the climate will permit. Mr. Breed also describes a palm that stands about 40 feet high, and a “wilderness of cl'mblng plants,” among which are palms with branches 600 feet in length. He makes note of another palm that bears the largest fruit and the largest leaves of any known tree, the fruit being two feet in diameter, and. the leaves 10 feet Some of the trees rise to a height of 100 feet before the branches spread. Motor Busses Supplant Ancient Railroad Line Motor busses have supplanted the service provided by the first steam railroad line operated in the United States and its abandonment has been recommended to the interstate commerce commission. The line. 23 miles long, was constructed by the Delaware & Hudson railroad in 1828 between Carbondale and Honesdale, Pa., to transport “stone coal,” as anthracite was then knoun. The Stourbridge Lion, first steam locomotive operated in the United States, was taken for a trial run on the line In August. 1829. The test run showed that the rails, wooden stringers capped with rolled iron strips, were not strong enough to sustain the locomotive and the steam engines were abandoned until the roadbed was strengthened several years later.

Then, at a critical moment coming to the ninth green, there was complete silence on the caddie's part as the duffer missed his shot completely. He promptly turned and knocked the surprised caddie down. “What did you do. that for?” asked the astonished club carrier as he began to plek himself up, “I didn’t hiccup that time.” > “I know you didn’t.” said the enraged player, “but I allowed for it ’ —Grantland Rice tn Collier’s Magazine.
