FOR BETTER RATES.
Farmers and Shippers and Railroad MasnateI
Will Confer.

Davenport, June Heterogeneous
are being made for meeting to take
place in this city before the harvesting
season between farmers and shippers
from all parts of the Big Bend and
Presidents Hill. Hartman and Mellen
of the three great railroads:
The meeting will be for the purpose
OF coming to some satisfactory agree
ment concerning railroad freight charges
and thus ending the agitation for lower
wheat rates.
Each precinct in the Big Bend will
be entitled to send one or more farmers
as delegates. The public will be admit
ted to the conference, but only those
chosen to represent their communities
will be entitled to take any part in the
proceedings.
The intention is to get the shippers
together, so that they can be questioned
as to their grievances. No debate will
take place and the meeting is intended
to be mutually beneficial. At present,
because of the high rates, there is but
little profit in wheat raising, and only
the fruit of the first grade can be ship
ped, while potatoes and other garden
vegetables cannot be shipped at all.
1t is thought that if these conditions
are made plain to the traffic managers
they will make concessions that will
enable the farmers OF the Big Bend to
produce wheat on higher margin and
to engage in orcharding and gardening
as occupations.

ROOT RESPONSIBLE.
War Secretary Thinks Payments to
Gomez Wise Policy.

Washington, June 17.-Secretary
Root has assumed full responsibility
for the payment OF money to Gen.
Gomez by Gen. Wood during the Amer
lean occupation of Cuba. and if congress
asks for an explanation of the matter,
he stands prepared to furnish what he
regards as the most convincing proofs
that the payments were dictated by the
wisest craftsmanship.
1t is pointed out at the war depart
ment as a curious fact that congress has
possessed information that Gen. Gomez
has been receiving payments for no less
than three years past. The war de-
partmnt has submitted to congress the
full statement of all expenses in Cuba
including the statements of the pay
ments to Gen. Gomez.

name is said to have been derived
from a saying of the old Spanish
that "a vessel is safe here
anchored by single hair" The city
is situated on long, narrow peninsula
at the foot of a high range OF noun
tains. It's population is about lO,OOO
and it is the market of export for the
states of Carabobo, Lara and Zamora,
three of the most productive common
wealths of Venezuela. 1t is one OF
the historic spots of the Caribbean

Americas Oldest City.
Cumana is the oldest city on the
American continent, having been
bounded by Gonzales Ocampo in 1920,
As years before the settlement of st.

1872, and made a tentative effort to
found a mission there, but the 1ndi-
ans, enraged by the atrocities of
Spanish pirates, who were continually
kidnapping the natives and selling
them into slavery in the islands of
Santo Domingo and Porto Rico, mas
sacred all the whites on the coast of
the mainland Through the good Of
fees of Las Casas, the philanthropic
missionary, the Spaniards finally sue
ceeded in establishing a colony at
Cumana, and the place, by the en-
lightened and prudent policy of its
early governors, became rich and
prosperous. Before the revolution of
1928, which resulted in the expulsion
of the Spaniards from South America,
the town had a population of 10000,
but at present it does not contain
more than 10000 inhabitants.
Cumana stands on the Manzanares
river one mile from the gulf of Carl
AGO, narrow arm of the Caribbean
sea running parallel to the coast. A
good level road and a tramway lead
from the city to the port on the gulf.
Cumana is about 200 miles due east of
Caracas and so miles northeast of
Barcelona, which is already in the
hands of the revolutionists. The city
stands at the base of volcanic noun
tains, which position renders it liable
to frequent earthquake shocks. For
this reason all the houses are low
pitched, and there are no remarkable
buildings in the place. The town has
a considerable trade in coffee, choco-
late, beans, sugar, hides and tobacco.
The gulf of Cariaco, near which
Cumana stands, is AZ miles long and
z miles wide. The shores rise grad
ually on either side, presenting a fine
landscape of luxuriant tropical vege-
tation. 1t is a great resort for peli-
cans, herons, fiamingoes and other
aquatic fowls, which are caught in
sieat numbers by the natives.

a DEPRESSING Prospect,

Oh, where is the use of rollicking
song.
When coal is SO a ton,
For your heart isn't light and your
muse isn't strong
When coal is 50 a ton,
You'd fain sing song of the birus
and the bees
And the flowers that flourish in ele-
CANT ease;
But it's hard to be tuneful on topics
like these
When coal is SO ton.
IL spite of the sunshine you're struck
with a chill
When coal is SO a ton.
You think of the snow that will sween
DER the hill
When coal is 50 a ton.
And man once so proud fears the
fierce winter air.
And wishes he'd turn to a pl,mn
polar bear
Who is dressed for the weather and
doesn't much care
If coal is SO a ton.

Crisis in Venezuela.


Crisis in Venezuela Double col ......
Down in Venezuela, the land of revo-
lutions, Cipriano Castro, general,
president and dictator, is hard put to
it to retain the position he won by
Wis ct arms. The prevailing order in
Venezuela is dog eat dog, and any day
there may come word that Castro's
forces have been seriously defeated,
that the seat of government has been
shifted from Caracas, and that another
dictator is enthroned. The dispatches
from Venezuela during the last few
days, while contradictory and some
what confusing at this distance, in
dictate that the revolutionists have
made some progress at several i'm
portant points.
President Castro was dictator from
the time he drove President Andrade
from the executive mansion at Cara
cas- by force of arms in 1899 until
February of this year, when he was
elected president of Venezuela in 1897,
whereupon Gen. Jose Manuel Her
nandez, the defeated candidate, in
augurated a revolution. Andrade
then became virtually a dictator; at
least it is said that he violated the
laws freely. What caused the revolt
of Gen. Castro, the present dictator,
was decree redividing the republic
into 81 instead of nine states, issued to
save the state of Miranda for the gov
ernment's candidate for governor, or
state president. There were two candi-
dates for election in Miranda-Gen.
Guerra and Gen. Fernandez. Guerra
was the popular choice, Fernandez
was Andrade's. To solve the problem
Andrade decided to make two states
of Miranda and to make the decree
general he divided the entire republic
in the same manner. Los Anges, the
largest of all the states, lying on the
border of Colombia, was divided into
three states, which so provoked Cas-
tro, who had been elected president of
Los Anges, that he embarked upon
the revolution, which ended in his be-
ing dictator in Andrade's place.
A resident of Caracas, writing in the
Independent-anonymously, for rea-
sons of prudence,-groupss some illum-
mating facts concerning the state of
affairs in this revolution-ridden coun-
try, as follows:-

According to the Medical Record
fair-haired people possess, commonly,
between 5000 and 10000 hairs on
the scalp, the number being about
the same for man and woman. Dark
haired people have on an average
about 100000, while red-haired people
are said to have only 10000 hairs.
But the latter apparently possess one
great advantage in the fact that they
retain their hair better, seldom be-
coming bald. Their hair is much
coarser than that of dark or fair
haired persons.

Revolutions Galore.

Four revolutions within the last
four years, and the fifth already begun
in which ex-President Andrade bears
a hand.
Forty revolutions within the past
SO years.
Castro took possession of the ex-
ecutive mansion by force; remained
| dictator for a year; created a con-
stitutional assembly, which issued a
provisional president.
Since 1921 there have been adopted
II several constitutions-ma of
which have come up in a night and
persisted in the heat of new revolu-
ton, to be followed by another die
tatorship.
Fifty-million dollar debt to German
capitalists, and no prospect of paying
even the interest; considerable claims
by Spain and France, which latter
power withdrew her minister pleni-
potentiary several years ago.
Many of the most intelligent natives
of the country praying for the dawn
of the day of peace and quiet under
the protectorate.
Even comic papers copying editorials
of the most respectable journals in
Caracas and elsewhere in Venezuela
veritable Jeremiads over the moral
ruin wrought by hopeless lrnger and
persistent seduction.
Two of the best railroads in South
America are within the bounds of
Venezuela. and are forced to run their
machinery and running stock at a
daily loss, with the hope of preserving
at least part. These are only speci-
mems of all foreign enterprises here.
Meantime, and all the time, writes
this resident of Caracas, in Venezuela
there is division, much divided of
political parties-in fact, chaos of
conflicting groups-but a dearth of
real men to lead them. Herein lies
Castro's strength and weakness; his
strength. in that no combination as
yet possible to oppose and overthrow
him has arisen; his weakness in that
he has not a friend outside of the of.
hcials of his own creation and con-
servation. Yes, a hundred Diogeneses,
each with latest improved search
light, would be troubled to find a
single man worthy of the name who in
any sense would be available for lead
err and governor of his own people
And the worst of all is that this has
been the state of the case in Vene-
zuela, with one apparent exception,
from the day of its independence till
now. Hence the frequent recurrence
of so-ealled ''revolutions"-and hence
their certain recurrence in the fu-
ture, unless some great power inter-
vene to compel these knots of ad-
yenturers to keep the peace.
Revolutions, occurring at the rate
of 40 within the past so years, have
left every staple product exhausted,
and the richest stock and product of
the nation--its men-have persisted
in these ignoble fights, or have been
driven out of the country. Consequent
ly all guarantees to capital-even that
of foreign enterprises-have van
ished or are seriously endangered
while all business is either paralyzed
or reduced to petty trade in the bare
necessities Of life. Prices are in
credibly high, and everything which
may be called a product of civiliza-
ton is hard to procure at the dearest
