Among those thus notified was M. Y K. Shaler, a member of the Ameri-j eOn T} ril rv i n ? % /%! 'v ' ?.uu-uui^iaii icut-i twiiiiiunMUii, Wliu was telephoned not to stir from his home during the night, and furthermore to fill the hath tubs in his home \ with water. For several days reports have been in circulation in London that all f American women here had been warned to leave England by June 5. According to this report the American embassy had been requested by Berlin to issue a warning of this natureInvestigation brought the information that the ambassador had received no such request. ^ o HARVESTING METHODS I Correct Methods for Harvesting 'Wheat Aie Given by Experienced Miller. One of the most reliable of the J :il - r . i - n. i < ? 0 in]ur miners 01 uie oiate, wno lias hut! .more than twenty years' experience.in.the milling of wheat raised in this part of the world, has furnished .the department with some practical .advise that ought to be given to those who have grown wheat as they enter upon the harvesting of the crop, From tie data furnished the following ^essentials ought to be carefully regarded by >.every man who expects to handle !his avheat so that it will command a jpniicje in the market. "Don't thrash the grain when it is damp. "Stack llie ^rain in the field until it is thoroughly dry. "If no thresher is at hand haul the ? grain into a shed and thresh at convenience. "Don't pack grain into large bin unless the bin is dry as the wheat will 'become musty and will not make good flour. "The best way to keep wheat is to put about one bushel in a bag and place the bag where :it can get air until the grain is well dried out; the f sack should be moved .around every Tew days." The above are considered essential f rules to regard in the harvesting of k wheat that is intended for milling. L For the information of those who > are just going into the milling business and propose to operate small or ? ^ large plants this year the most essential thing for them to regard is that all wheat before being sent into the mill ought to be thoroughly sunned until moisture has been practically eliminated. If that cannot be done the chances are that there will be very considerable losses in the proportion of flour to bran resulting en^ tailing also actual money losses.

He serv- ^ ?d as trustee of the Watts School fori 1 nany years. This place he filled no- j : )lv and well until his death.

The following is a statement of the situation at that time: A further advance of the Teutonic dlies toward Mosiska, with indications of a great battle near the Gro;lek lakes, south of Lemberg, is contained in reports from the Calician fror.t. The Austro-German military authorities , according to these reports. anticipate serious opposition in the Grodek lake regions on the part of the Russians, reinforced by large numbers of reserves. With this event forecast in the Southeastern war theatre, both the Russians and the Austro-Gcrmans continue fighting along the entire front in Galicia. Reports from Vienna declare that the Russians are full retreat ,although the Retrograd war office maintains that the advance of the enemy has been arrested 10 miles east of Przemysk ' Brief mention is made in the latest official statement issued by the Russian war oflice of the appearance of "ll RtvOYirr rioi'mnii flnnf" ?? > uvi limn nv.vi 111 v.11v unnit sea, which has "exchanged shots" with the Russian fleet near the Gulf of Riga."

In France the Germans admit the loss to the French of the sugar refinery at Souchcz, but declare that an ittack by the enemy at Neuville has oeen repulsed. Along the other fronts n the West little of importance has occurred.
