BELLS OF MEXICAN RANCH.
Date from the Sixteenth Century and
Highly Priced by Indians.


The ranch of Jocotlan. belonging to
the Indians of the district. comprises So
600 hectares Of very rich land. The
pride of the Indians is two old bells that
hang in the tiny churchyard. They date
from the year 1850 and, it is rumored
are cast with gold and copper and silver.
They bear the date and some words in
Latin. OF their history nothing is
known. 1t seems probable that they
were cast up by the sea or taken from
one of the old Spanish galleons, as Jo-
cotlan is only day from the coast. This
immense ranch has a history. After
the war of independence it was handed
to the indigenes cf Jocotlan, who now
number 200. This gift was further rati-
fed under the government of Comonfort
in 1857. Many have desired to get these
bells, but the Indians will not part with
them at any price.-Autlan corr. Mexican

Are Farm Land Prices Too Hight
How long will the price of farm
lands continue to increase? Just SO
long as the price Of farm products con
tinue to increase, and these prices Will
remain firm so long as labor finds
steady and profitable employment. In
no other country in the world Is Ia
Dor so we'll rewarded as here. Where
prices are low, wages are necessarily
low. The man who receives liberal
returns for his work can buy Hber-
ally. and can pay fair price. There
seems to be no probability that In
dustrial conditions viii be radically
changed in this country soon. The
people generally are too well satisfied
with them. Good markets may, there
fore. be expected to continue indefi-
nitely.
Farm lands which may be relied on
to product satisfactory crops OF grain
and grass are not selling too high.
Land which, with proper management,
will produce from 60 to 100 bushels of
50-cent corn per acre is well worth
$3.50 an acre or more. There is large
amount of such land in Kansas and
adjoining states.
The sure way to increase the value
Of land is to increase its productive
ness. Under existing conditions prices
will take care Of themselves. The
days of large surpluses are past. De-
supply. Mouths are multiplying faster

A beautiful ceremony was performed
at Adath Yeshurun synagogue on last
Thursday evening, June 3, at o'clock,
when Rabbi Wilmer pronounced the
words that united in marriage Mr..
B. l. Lovitz and Miss Sarah Hurwitz.
This was the first wedding ceremony
performed in the new synagogue and
will probably not be the last. The house
of worship was very prettily decorat-
ed with ferns and palms and other
ported plants. Promptly at 8 o'clock
Rabbi Wilmer, Rev. Lieberman, with
his choir, mounted the pulpit, where
the ushers erected the traditional can
opy. The we'll trained choir entoned
the Hebrew greeting Blessed Who
Come" and the bridal party entered
the synagogue and marched UP the
two aisles. On the South aisle were
Mr.. Harry HurWitz and one flower
girl, little Annie HurWitz, followed by
Mr. Ben HurWitz and Miss Steinburg,
then the groom, Mr. Lovitz on the
arm of Mrs. Hurwitz, and then Mr..

Mr.. Ben HurWitz with Miss Annie
SteinbeTg, the bride on her fathers

South Dakota senators and represen-
tatives have not reached any agreement
as yet in regard to the appointment OF
two census supervisors for that state,
and it is probable President Taft will
have to decide the controversy himself.
1t is expected now tine president will
name the census supervisors about
October ], and that they will be well
along in their work before the senate
can pass on the appointments. Senators
Gamble and Crawford still insist on
regarding the supervisors as senatorial
patronage, while Representatives Mar.
tin aud Burke contend these appoint
ments belong to them. Both sides have
been to see the president several times
about the matter and both profess to be
pleased with the results of their inter-
view at the White House. Senator
Gamble bases his claim for supervisors
jobs on the patronage distribution he

the South Dakota delegation. Mr.. Gam
BILE declares that at that time President
Roosevelt decided the postoffice patron
age of South Dakota should go to the
representatives and the other federal
patronage to the senators. Messrs.
Martin and Burke contend, however.
that Roosevelt's adjudication did not
include census supervisors, which were
not thought of at that time. They hold
that in many states like Iowa and
Nebraska, census supervisors are
regarded as congressional patronage and
have been considered so In South
Dakota therefore, The director OF the
census has announced that the two cen.
sus supervisor districts in South Dakota
would be divided by the Missouri river,
as in the former census The district
west of the river has about $1,000 more
population. The eleven Iowa census
districts will coincide with the con-
gressional districts.

such action probable, as he did not

date of the regular session in this state

sary; but that if the situation should
reach point where action by South

practicable to hold the little republic
responsible. There really is no republic
there. What was done by Zelaya was
his personal action. The viii Of the
people was not expressed. No matter
what the viii of the people may have
been in the matter, they had no oppor-
plnity to express that sentiment. And
they must not be held responsible for the
torture and murder Of the two Ameri-
cans.
But the man who is responsible, Ze-
laya, should be held to a strict account
ing. The deed was his, and his should
be the punishment.
Zelaya puts his favorite into the pres
idential chair, and runs away to Mex
leo. He seeks to escape responsibility
for his crime. AS a private individual
he caused the death Of the two Ameri-
cans AS a private ruffian he should be
made to suffer for it.

gument jingoism. But it is the sort of
policy which viii make Americans citi-

good women among the very rich has
been more than commonly evident It
almost makes one believe that Irving

with her even more helpful brain in SCI
curing justice and comfort for the poor.

has their counterpart. Every cause has

good women is evident in it.

TWO SERMONS IN ONE.

Last Sunday morning DR.. Goshen
presented two sermons to the people of
the First Congregational church. One
was a reference to the young men who
are seeking happiness in all the paths
and byways Of idleness. one had to do
with the view of life taken by two
women who were made recipients Of
presents by the Aid society Of the
church.
The boys, he said, would be vastly
happier in good, hard work. than they
possibly can be escaping it. And, if
they could be convinced of the better
way, they would devote their lives to
useful labor, to constant industry, to
helping others whenever possible. And
in the end they would become a race
Of strong men, types Of a more splendid
manhood than the world has seen.
Then, as to those women. One Of
them is the mother Of three children, all
very small. The father had gone away.
He had shirlxed his responsibility, and
had left them without money or other
provision. They really had no means Of
getting even the food they needed from
day to day. They had very little fuel,
and were trying only to keep half warm.
And there was no money with which to
buy more. The mother said to the good
woman brought help that the chill
dren had asked her if Christmas was
going to come to their home.
Il told them yes, but I really didn't
see how it could come" said the faith
ful mother. But I thought if I did my
very best, things would come out right,
someway. I didn't know how, but I
didn't know anything better te do"
And that is the big sermon Of the day,
or of any day. She just did the best
she could. 1t is a blessing beyond words
that she was found, and was helped. It
is u blessing that her sleep and that Of
her children could be made comfortable,
that the cold be kept away from them,
and that there could be food in plenty.
But bigger than that, is the character
of the woman. She did the best she
could. May her example inspire the
stronger, the more fortunate, the more
fairly circumstanced, 10 DO the very
best they can-each and all of them.
