STEWART, Publisher. DELIA KANSAS iwToFMwS Most Important Happenings of the Past Seven Days. JAPAN STORING COAL. Mikado's Government Has Placed a Positive Embargo upon Its Exportation Stocking Coaling Stations. Vencouyer, B.

According to British naval officers who arrived from the Orient on the Empress of China Sunday night en route to England from the China station, the Japanese government has placed a positive embargo on the export of coal from Japan. Operators have been instructed to load no coal for export and steamers are supplied with only sufficient to complete the return voyage to Japan. This is said to be the reason the Canadian Pacific railroad, which had several special ship loads of coal ordered during the Canadian coal strike, received but one. It Is also' stated on the best authority that the government has been inquiring for large shipments of Australian and Welsh coal, the latter designed for coaling stations remote from Japan and probably In the vicinity of the Philippines. The officer also states positively that the Japanese going to Mexico through Hawaii are all service men and veterans of the late Russian war.

Covered with Yellow Sores Grew Worse Parents Discouraged Cu-tleura Drove 8ores Away. "Our, little girl, one year and a half was taken with eczema or that was what the doctor called it. We took her to three doctors but by this time she was nothing but a yellow, greenish sore. One morning we discovered a little yellow pimple on one of her eyes, Doctor No. 3 said that we had better take her to some eye specialist, since It was an ulcer.

So we went to Oswego to doctor No. 4, and he said the eyesight was gone. We were nearly discouraged, but I. thought we would try the Cuticura Treatment, so I purchased a set of Cuticura which cost me $1, and in three days our daughter, who had been sick about eight months, showed great improvement, and, in one week -all sores had disappeared. Of course it could not restore the eyesight, but if we had used Cuticura In time I am confident that It would have saved the eye.

THE DAY OF THE FARMER, Occupation Properly Recognized at One of the Professions. The farmer who is not an amateur Is a really increasing factor In today's life.

In farming la rapidly becoming one of the professions. We have our agricultural schools, just as we have our law schools. It is getting to be a business as well. Farmers have their trusts, like other manufacturers. It Is a far cry from the New England farmer, trying to arrange an ex ploded granite quarry into a stone wall that he may have room in which to plant his crop, and that master of capital, and black earth ten feet deep who with a traction engine and reaps with a ten horse team.

And between these two types of farmers the drift Is steadily toward the latter. The comic paper does not laugh at the "granger" as frequently as It used to laugh. It wants his subscription. The capitalist does not foreclose mortgages on the prairie farm now. He borrows money of its owner.

And, what Is vastly more Important, the entire country looks with a respect bordering upon apprehension on this new type of American who has decided views on railroads, trusts, and, in fact, on every subject, from the "green bug" to the lecturer at his Chautauqua. This rise of the farmer Into national significance Is welcome In view of the Inundation of great cities by immigrants who have significance only en masse. i The farm Is the nursery of Individualism. If you are a cliff dweller In the city send your boy there this summer and let him see what it means to create wealth with the help of nature rather than with the ticker. You will help make him a better American.

Tho New York Life's Busipess Nearly Up to the Legal Limit. The New York Life Insurance Company announces that its new paid business during the half year just ended was over seventy million dollars. As the new law allows no life company to write over one hundred and fifty millions per year, it would appear that this company is working nearly up to the limit. The New York Life gained such headway before the law was passed and suffered so little, comparatively, from the Armstrong investigation, that the question with its management has been how to keep business down to the limit, rath er than how to reach it. No other company is writing nearly as much as the law allows.

The New York Life has evidently become a preferred company. The company's payments to policy holders during the six months ending June 30 were $21,660,761. It is interesting to note that this amount was almost equally divided between payments under policies maturing by death and payments made to living policy holders. Thus, while death-claims were $11,180,626, the amount paid for matured endowments, annuities, trust fund installments, for purchased policies and for dividends was $10,480,135. Modern life insurance, as practiced by the best companies, embraces a wide field, and covers many contingencies.

It is money saved for the aged, as well as money provided for the families of those who die Gave the Money to His Wife. San Francisco, Cal. Mris. Anns Lonergan, wife of Supervisor J. Lonergan was a witness Tuesday for the prosecution in the Louis Glass bribery trial.
