A False Impression

The article which appeared in the
"Texarkanian" of yesterday after

rious death of Mr. VIM, Sullivan, in

this l wish to emphatically deny.

deceased, and became acquainted

rreatment of No.e bleed.

Epistaxis, or ''nose bleed" is an af-
Fiction to which some individuals are
exceedingly prone. AS it is frequent
ly merely an effort on the part of ma
ture to relieve the system of surplus
amount of blood, it should not be
checked unless the hemorrhage be-
comes excessive. One of the first meas
ures to be employed for that means is
the elevation of the head and arms.
Next press the upper lip firmly against
the base of the nose or nostrils. Snuff
firg up fine salt, tannin or powdered
alum is effective, or solution may he
made of either and syringed into the
nasal cavity; likewise common lemon
juice or vinegar, remembering to have
the patient keep his mouth open to per-
NIT the escape of the fluid. Do not al
low him to bend over basin. Applica-
lions of ice-cold congresses to the back
of the neck and bridge of the nose are
useful, and rendered more SO by EN-.
ploying a very hot foot bath at the same

JOHANN Won BLOCH.

Spoke for Universal Peace.
HIS Remarkable ynAuence with the
Csar Of Russia Led to the Cali for
the international Confee.
enee at TIE Hague.

II war shall cease to strew the world
with woe and suffering because of what
has been done by the peace conference
at The Hague, humanity will owe its de-
liverahce largely to the efforts of Baron
Johann Won Bloch, whose book, 1.-THE
War of the Future" 1t was that turned
the mind of the car of Russia toward
peace and made the conference possible.
Rarely in the worlds history has it
fallen to the lot of one man to do such
a noble work for his race as Baron Won
Bloch has done. Whatever may be the
immediate outcome of the conference
at The Hague. the impression produced
on the minds of men by the baron's
volume cum never be effaced. Such a
graphic, powerful and convincing por-
trayal of the miseries and horrors Of
war has never been given to the world
before. Arguments along this line,
pleas for peace, and books and pamph-
lets against war are plentiful enough
in all literature, ancient and modern.
But Baron Won Bloch's work gains its
novelty and it's special force from the
fact that, while he enters no direct
plea for peace, he sets forth the ter.
rible results of future wars with such
minute and philosophical detail, and
with such an Overwhelming array Of
facts and figures. that it is impossible
for anyone to think of embroiling the
nations in future conflicts at arms
without shudder of horror. The

power of modern rifles and explosives.
He shows that, with the latest inven-
tons in the enginery of war, future
conflicts between great armies will be
more horrible and destructive than
anything conceived of before. He gives
the figures of the great standing armies
of Europe, amounting altogether to
over 100000 men, and discusses the
vast and complicated problems con-
nected with their movements and sub
sistence in time of war, showing how
industry will be paralyzed and the PEG.
pie beggared and ruined by the drafts
upon their war resources. He states,
for example, that in a war between the
dual and triple alliance of Europe 49,
100000 armed men would be set in mo-
ton, whose daily expense would be
ments like these from the baron's work
it is not matter of surprise that it
should have set the car of all the Rus
slams to devising methods to bring
about reign of peace among men.
That the work will go far toward bring
ing about the happy time there can be
NO manner of doubt. The baron is 65
years old, but he looks younger. He is
stout and well preserved, and has pierre
ing eyes. When he becomes excited he
is fierce in manner and quite otherwise
than peaceful-looking individual. He
talks English fairly, in common with
eight or nine other languages. His hor-
TOR of war dates back to his youthful
days, when he gave much time to his
torical reading, and his great work is
really the outcome of much thought
and study. He is very sanguine over the
future, but does not expect the mil
lenium will be ushered in very soon. He
is a truly wise man and not crank or
mere dreamer.

useless for ordinary farming, have been
discovered to be invaluable for melon
patches. The whole state went into
the business in the spring, and the re-
suit was that 50-pound melons sold at
two for nickel in September.
Kansas ate her fill of melons, shipped
all she could sell to any market at any
price, and still found herself fairly car
peted with them. There were not peo-
pie enough to eat the hundredth part
of them. and something had to be done.
So somebody found that melon seeds
had marketable value as seeds-not in
Kansas, of course, but in the rest of
the country-and small though the
game seemed, there were melons to
burn, and they went into the business.
Horsepower thrashers were devised.
and all through September the state
mashed up watermelons.
The process is very simple one. The
pulp, after grinding, comes out in tank
of water and is allowed to ferment,
when the seeds sink to the bottom and
the refuse rises and is. scooped out on
the ground. When the piles of refuse
get too big they move-not the refuse,
but the machine. Could anything be
simpler?
The seeds are sold to the Chicago and
eastern wholesale seed dealers. The
price varies from eight to fifteen cents
q pound. this year being rather low on
account of the large yield. The yield to
the acre runs from $50 to 300 pounds,
which, us the land is worth only five
dollars or less, makes good return.
With an income of $25 and the cost of
raising estimated at eight to twelve
dollars an acre giving fair wages for all
work, this makes one of the most profit
able crops that the western Kansas
prairie lands can raise.

about 100000. This years report shows
the reduction to be p little over $S75. Co.,
