Life On The Farm

.
llarvest time is here again
With aflts fields OF golden grain,
With ricks ut hay and stacks oil wheat,
And everything that IS good To cat
OF grapes and berries rich and .ine.
Md melons smiling on the vine
With luicv pears and apples sweet,
They have spri ng chic ken Tor their meat.
The farmers life is great indeed,
With everything they want or need
They never have to ask the price,
Or stop by saying that is nice
The laborcr's work indeed is great,
With all this fruit to barrel and crate,
TO shuck the corn, and stack tho hay,
And bin the golden gram away.
But when the harvest time is DER,
The farmers need not work no more
Until they hear the robins sins
AS they announce The coming spring

Fire lmperils Town..

Fire, which broke out in the cupola
of a grain elevator at Omemee, threat
ened for a time to destroy the entire
town. The citizens turned out with
the fire engine, but the fire had gained
such Roadway that it was useless to
attempt to save the building in which
it started. They devoted their efforts
to saving the st. Anthony and Dakota
elevator, which was located near the
one in which the fire started. Huge
cinders and burning embers were car
ried about the town, setting fire to
buildings in the business district, and
requiring constant vigilance on the
part of the fire fighters to prevent the
flames from spreading. The burned
elevator was owned by the Hesing
company and contained $4,000 bushels
of wheat. The loss is estimated at
$4,000. fully covered by insurance.
The origin of the fire is unknown.

Unconfirmed Report of Heavy Loss Of
Life in Mexico.

Lie III MEXICO.
City Of Mexico, April 16.-Word
from the center of the great destruc-
ton of the earthquake of Sunday night
was first given to this capital by the
Associated Press after repeated trials
to establish communication with the
stricken districts. AS yet wires to the
section are working badly and no
exact estimate of the number of the
dead has been received. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that the total death
list will be large.
From messages received at the tele.
graph Office here up to noo it appears
that the entire southern half of the
republic, including the lower country
and the Mesa" belt, felt the shock.
Messages from as far north as San
Luis Pctosi and as far south as the
city of San Juan Bautista. in the state
Of Tabasco, report feeling the shock
in varying degrees. But at no place
up to date has a loss of life or great
destruction of property been reported
excepting the state of Guerro.
The "Banco Nacional" National
bank of Mexico) has received a tele-
gram saying that 500 lives were lost
in the destruction of C~hilpancingo and
Chilapa. The telegram adds that
both cities were destroyed. In gov,
ernmental circles the report is not
credited. 1t is admitted that both
cities were levelled to the ground but
1t is not thought that the death list
will even approximate 500, owing to
the fact that the houses are massive
affairs built of stone in order to resist

LABOR FEuDs AT LODI.
One Hundred Killed or Wounded in
Four Weeks.

Lodz. Russian Poland, April 15.-
During the last four weeks over 100
workmen have been killed or wound
ed here as the result of labor feuds.
The government has failed to protect
those who are willing to work and the
latter have taken matters into their
own hands and are violently expelling
the terroristic. anarchistic and So
cialistic agitators, whom they hold re-
sponsible for the ruin of the indus
tries of Lodz. AS the Jews form over
80 per cen of the socialists there is
some apprehension that the incensed
workmen may engage in an anti
Semitic outhreak
