It is too bad that when Okiahom

ket value for the crop, and that when
It has none they bring a prohibitive
high price In the market so no one
can afford to eat them.

will go to waste while some parts of
'hc^l.'nltcd States )h going hungry for
them. " ~

all we can't sell and all we can't can

'As for making vinegar-—all you
have to do is to throw the peaches iu
to u big enough vat or bogsheud to
hold them and the sun and heat will
do the rest.
To make peach brandy, of course,
you have to have a copper kettle to
distill. Hut this too is simple, if two
or more fanners would get together to
bear the cost.
Of course we can't distill our fruit
Into -brandy under the law. for fear
we might drink it; but wc ought to do
It and use the ellxer In a dosen diff-

have to drink it.

Warning.
Albany, N. Y„ Aug. 12.—William
Barnes, Jr., today warned the consti-
tutional convention, now In session
here, that if a stop was not put to
what he termed "socialistic" or class
legislation, thre would be established
in this country an autocratic state
similar to that of Germany, "denying
utterly the American theory of equal-
ity."
incidentally the Republican leader
compared Theodore Roosevelt to Bis-
marck and asserted that the l*rogre.s-
sive party had inaugurated and was
advocating the identical policy which
had caused the Socialist party in Ger-
many to become the largest single
group in the reichstag.
Mr. Barnes attack upon the I*ro-
gresives was contained in a speech
urging the convention to adopt his
amendment prohibiting the legislature
from passing the minimum wage, old
pnslons or similar laws .
In advocating legislation to care ror
the working man, Mr. Barnes said
that Hisimarck told the reichstag such
laws would check Socialism. "The en-
actment or state socialistic legisla-
tion," h said, "Is not a check to Rocial-
sm, (but prepares the mnd for it.
George W. Wlckersham, majority
leader or the invention and former
United States attorney general, Jacob
Gould Khuriuan, president of Cornel!

Democratic leader of the senate, op-
posed the (proposal.
Mr. Shunnan professed to see "dy-

Mr. Wagner declared that the pro-
posal was "so absurd in this enlight-
ened time that ir it came rrom any one

The total value of club premiums
amounts to $8,670.00. i^«t year the
various county fairs of Oklahoma gave
to the club members $7,033.21. This
year we will hold more county fairs
in the state and on account of the
club work being better known to the
people and organized in more coun-
ties. I am satisfied that the amount
ofTered to our club members will be at
least $10,000.00. This will mean that
the 12,000 clu-b members in Oklahoma
will receive in premiums for their
work this year, approximately $18,500.
Oklahoma is to be congratulated on
this excellent showing. There is no
state that 1 know of offering this large
a (premium 1|B^ to its club members.
This large amount of tnoney distrib-
uted in small prizes to as many mem-

U. S. Tells Austria She
Will Not Stop Export-
ing War Supplies
Emphatic Aste Is Sent is Reply to
I omnia nicaUen (Wgi«Hr That Ex-
portatios of Monitions to A astro-
iinesale* Was *>ot in Consonance
With ehaition of .Neutrality.1
Washington, Aug. 15.—The State
Department tonignt made public the
repiy of tne United ataies rejecting
views set forth by the Austro-Hungar-
ian Government in a recent note con-
tending Uiat exportation of war muni-
tions from America to Austria's enem-
ies was conducted on such a scale as
to be "not in consonance with the de-
iinition of neutrality."
Though friendly in language and
tone, tae note flatly denies tne Austro-
Hungarian contentions and rccalls
that that country and Germany fur-
nioued munitions of war to Great
Britain during the Boer war when
England s enemies could not import
sucn supplies. It insists the American
Government is pursuing a strictly
neutral course in adhering to a prin-
ciple upon which it would depend for
munitions in markets of the world in
case it Mould be attacked / a roreign
•power.
*The principles of international
law," the communication concludes,
"the practice of nations, the national
safety of tne United States and other
nations without great military and
naval establishments, toe prevention
of increased armies and navies, the
adoption of the peaceful methods of
the settlement of international differ-
ences, and, finally, neutrality itself,
are opposed to the prohibition by a
neutral nation of the exportation of
arms, ammunition or other munitions
of war to belligerent powers duriu,
the progress of war."
"Practical and Substantial Reason.*
Pointing to a "(practical and subs-
tantial reason" why the United States,
aside from the question of principle
advocates the practice of unrestricted
trade in military supplies, the note de-
clares:
"It never has been the policy of this
country to maintain in time of peace
a large military establishment of
stores of arras and ammunition suffi-
cient to repel invasion by a well-equip-
ped and ^powerful army. It has desir-
ed to remain at peace with all nations
and to avoid any appearance of men-
acing such peace by the threat of its
armies and navies. In consequence
of this standing policy the United
States would, in the event of attack
by a foreign power, be at the outset of
war seriously ir not fatally em-harass-
ed by the lack of arms and ammuni-
tion and by the means to produce
them in sufficient quanities to supply
the requirements of national defense
The United iStates always has depend-
ed upon the right and power to pur-
chase arms and ammunition from neu-
traJ nations in case of foreign attack
This right, which it claims for iteelf,
it can not deny to others."
Can Not Accede to Suggestion.
The United States asserts that it
can not accede to the suggestion that
it change or modify the rules of inter-
national usage during the progress of
a war ou account of special conditions
and declares that the idea of neutral-
ity advanced by Austria would "in-
volve a neutral nation in a mass of
perlexities which would obscure the
wthole ti eld of international obligation,
produce economic confusion and de-
prive all comineree and industry of
legitimate fields of enterprise, already
heavily burdened by the tnavoidable
restrictions of war."
A mention is directed to the fact that
Austria-Hungary and Germany, before
the war, produced*a great surplus of
war munitions and sold them through-
out the world, "especially to belli-
gerents, and that "never during that
period did either of them sugg<«t or
apply tae principles now advotated by
the Imperial and Royal Government
Austria and Germain Sold A rats.
The note points out particularly
that during the Boer War between
Great Britain and the South African-
Republics the latter were in a situat-
ion almost identical with that occupied
by Germany and Aubtria at the pre-
sent time, and that "in spite of the
commerical isolation or one jelliger-
ent Germany sold to Great Brkain, the
other belligerent, hundreds oi thoias-
ands ot kilos of explosives, gunpow-
der, cartridges, shot and weapons, and
Austria-Hungary also sold similar
munitions to the same purchaser, al-
though in smaller quanitTtes."
In this connection a "table of sales
by Germany and Austria to Great
Britain during the Boer war is appen-
ded a note, and it is suggested that
had Austria and Germany refused to
sell arms to Great Britain at that time
"on the ground Chat to do would vio-
late the spirit of strict neutrality, the
Imperial and Royal Government might
with greater consistency and greater
force urge its present contention."
