PEONAGE LAW VALID
BUT S. l., CLYATT WINS,
Justice Brewer and Associates Reverse
Decision of Court of Appeals-Re-
turning Charge Not Proved.

Washington, D. c., March 13-In the
peonage case of Samuel l.. Clyatt against
the United States, the supreme court Of
the United States today reversed the de-
cision Of the circuit court Of appeals for
the Fifth circuit in favor Of Clyatt, who
was charged with returning" to involun-
tary servitude two negroes named Cor
don aid Ridley. The opinion was hand
ed down by Justice Brewer and while it
upheld the constitutionality of the law
for the punishment Of peonage, it held
that as the record failed to show that the
negroes had ever before been in custody,
the charge Of returning" them could
not be justified.
Justice Harlan dissented, saying that
in his opinion there was evidence to
make a case IF the accused made no
objection to the submission of the case to
the jury he said, "and it is going very
far to hold i'll a case like this, disclosing
barbarities Of the first kind against these
negroes, that the trial court erred in send
ing the case to the jury"

PEACE SAID TO
BE IMMINENT.
DIPLOMATS AT WASHINGTON ON
THE ALERT AT REPORTS FROM
THE FAR EAST
Fiscal Agent Sends Warning to Europe
to Be on Lookout for Direct
Negotia tons.

Washington, D. c., March 13.-The
Associated Press learns from relia BILE
authority that the second Pacific squad
ron of the Russian navy has been re-
called.
A Russian official here expressed the
belief that his country must sue for peace
in view Of the disaster to Gen. Kuropat-
kin's army.
While the recall Of the second squad
ron is not regarded as a certain sign,
it is nevertheless believed to be an indi-
cation that peace is near, by diplomats
here.
More Signs of Peace
Convinced that Russia and Japan will
both soon succumb to the enormous
financial strain placed upon them by the
war, a diplomat representing one Of the
neutral powers most interested in the
final issue, has, within the last two days,
sent a confidential message to his govern
ment, warning it to be on the lookout for
secret agreement to be negotiated be-
tween Russia and Japan, direct, proyid-
ing the preliminaries for a settlement Of
their difficulties.
What is was that prompted the send
ing OF this message cannot be learned,
but its author is an official at all times
exceptionally we'll informed on affairs of
state and in the diplomatic corps. His
belief that peace negotiations when they
begin will be conducted between ST. Pc
tersburg and Toxic, direct, finds general
credence.
One diplomat expressed the opinion to-
day that the field Of battle would be the
scene of the first negotiations between
the belligerents looking to peace.
Nations All on Alert.
However secret the negotiations, it is
declared, the United States, Great
Britain, Germany and France are keenly
on the alert for such a development and
would promptly demand the submission
of the agreement for their inspection.

FARMERS FEED QUAIL
Starvation Drives Thousands of Birds
in N-non County to Human
AbOdes.

Readstown, Wis, March 11.-TSpe-
cial. ]-Farmers state that thousands of
quail are starving. The country roads
are lined with quail searching for some
thing to eat, and in many cases the
birds fly into barns and granaries in
search of grain. The thawing and freez-
ing of the snow of early winter formed
coatings of ice over the ground through
which the quail cannot scratch to secure
food. In several instances entire flocks
of them have been huddled together in
hedges, dead, caused by the severe
weather and lack of food. Many farm
ers are feeding the quail on their places,
and hunger tempts them to leave their
hiding places while the grain is being
scattered on the ground

Short Suggestions,

Stand pancake batter for two hours
before frying. Beat it up again just
before using
When cooking sausages let them
heat very gradually and the skins
will not burst
To keep milk sweet for several
days add teaspoonful Of fine salt
to every quart Of milk.
Bones and bacon rind should never
be thrown away, but added to the
stock pot when making soup.
When making sauces dissolve the
butter in the stewpan, add the -four,
stir well, and then gradually add the
liquor.
Glue that is both damp and water
proof is easily made. Take ordinary
glue, soak it in water till quite soft,
then put it in a jar with a little lin
seed oil and stand on the stove til
melted.
Soap and candles are improved by
keeping, so buy them in fairly large
quantities. Cut the soap, either with
g wire or a piece of string, while
new, for it hardens with age, and then
it is more difficult to do SO.

Take Care of the Farm Team.

The farm team during the busy
season should be taken care Of prop
erly. When taking a drive to town
don't rush the farm horses. If the
farmer is without q driving team Or
horse, he should not forget that fast
driving on the road means a loss Of
flesh and is a hard strain on the work
horses. 1t pays to keep the harness
adjusted, oiled and made pliable at all
times to prevent sore shoulders and
gals. Keep it SO adjusted as to fit
the horse it is intended for. Not only
should the harness be adjusted prop
erly, but the farm implements as we'll
See to it that the clevis and white
trees are doing their work at a proper
angle and that all implements are be-
ing run smoothly so as to reduce the
draft as much as possible
When a hot days work is over, it
is good plan to wash the parts COW
cred by the harness, especially the
shoulders and back, with cold salt
water Look we'll to the feet and see
that they are kept clean; if there is
dirt lodged in the hoofs remove it, and
keep the feet looking clean.
The above suggestions, If carried
out, will have much to do in keeping
the work team comfortable and IN
getting the most out Of them.

Tomat toes Sold In England,


Consul Stephens asserts that, dur
ing last August, there were one hun
dred thousand packages Of tomatoes
shipped weekly into English ports,
bringing an average Of two shillings
per package. He states further that,
although the American tomato is rec
ognfzed as the equal Of any other, If
not superior to it, yet the American
product is not TO be found in the Eng
ish markets, but that the Whole
amount imported comes from France
and Italy. Here Is a broad hint to
the American farmer for his surplus

profit, some Of their early spring vege-
tables, particularly the tomato, to the
