Smuggling Schemes.

MANILA. October s.-Louis Grant, a
prominent American resident of this city.
charged with completely in extensive
opium smuggling schemes discovered
some weeks ago. entered a plea of guilty
when the case was called today. He

charged with himself, had arranged the
plans, and that he had not been inform
ed of it until after shipment of mining
machinery had been consigned to him in
which the opium was concealed.
Grant said that Kennedy offered him
5000 to allow this opium to be landed

no other part in the plan.

timony in the trial of Kennedy now in
progress.

In st. Louis.

ST LOUIS. October s.-Glenn H. Curtiss

five-horsepower biplane today before a
small company of ST. Louis Aero Club
members. He was in the air a minute

of trees dead ahead caused him to de-
scend.
The morning spectators also saw Hugh

BELL At HEAD OF WAR OFFICE
DESIGNATION OF THE CHIEF OF
STAFF CAUSES COMMENT.
Action Taken as a Compliment to
the General, Who Relinquishes
Present Position in April.

There is considerable gossip in military
circles over the designation of Maj. Gen.
J. Franklin Bell, chief Of staff Of the
army. to act as Secretary Of War under
existing conditions Secretary Dickinson
is at the bedside of his son, who is Ill.
near Nashville, Tenn. Assistant Secre-
tary Oliver, who has been acting secre-
tary in his absence, is at Albany repre-
senting the government at the Hudson
Fulton celebration in that city. Mr.. SEQ
field. assistant and chief clerk of the de-
partment, who usually acts in the absence
is at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacifi exposition
at Seattle.
The gossip over the designation Of Gen.
Bell is due to the fact that heretofore
when such contingencies have arisen Maj.
Gen. Ainsworth, adjutant general, has
been chosen to conduct temporarily the
civil affairs Of the military establishment.
That arrangement was made with the ap-
proval and consent Of Gen. Bell, who
waived all his prerogatives in the matter
as chief Of staff In favor of Gen. Aims
worth's seniority. Next to Maj Gen.
Wood, who was commissioned in August.
1903. Gen. Ainsworth Is the ranking Off
Ger of the army. He was commissioned
major general In April, 1904. while Gen.
Bell did not reach that grade until Janu-
ary. 1907. But Gen. Bell is a general Off
Ger of the line, while Gen. Ainsworth is
at the head of a staff department and has
never had command of troops in the field.
SO TAR as known there is no friction be-
tween the two officers because Of the pre-
ferment of the junior officer on this par
ticular occasion. and it is said that 1t was
done specially as a compliment to Gen.
Bell, who will reinquish his detail as
chief of staff next April.
Assistant Secretary Oliver will return
to this city Monday morning and relieve
Cen Bell of his temporary civic RESPONSE

PARIS, October st is reported that
Brig. Gen. d'Amade, who made a state
Inent in the Matin yesterday that France
would have to intervene in Morocco and
prevent further operations by Spain, has
been given the alternative of denying the
correctness Of the interview or being

yesterday to explain his action in making
the statements in the interview.
The Temps deprecates Gen. d'Amade' s
utterances as published in the Matin. It
contends that 1t is unjust to charge Spain
with harboring designs OF conquest and
considers that Spain is only doing, within
the sphere of influence accorded by the
Algeciras act, what France did in the
Chaouia region.
The Lfberte on the other hand boldly
declares that If it is a game of grab

could get any orders for them. He
came back from a business trip in a
short time with $4,000 worth of or

her friends to help and the orders
were filled and before long she had a

ECONOMY IS PRODUCTION.

ECONOMY is PRODUCTION.
Although fourteen bushels Of
wheat Is about the average yield in
this country, yet our farmers have
not comprehended the Importance Of
doubling the yield. Having plenty Of
land they look more to the area than
TO the substances from which crops
are grown. Millions of gallons Of
liquid manure are wasted every year
because no adequate provision Is
made on the farms for preventing
this loss. and farms become poorer
because a portion of the products of
the farms flow away with every rain
that comes down upon the man.
ure heap. The waist materials that
are of no value, such as weeds and
rubbish, are allowed to damage in
various ways, and even the solids of
the manure lose much of their value
because OF not being properly kept.
This condition is found mostly
on farms that have too much land
in proportion to equipment. The
labor that should be applied where
1t would prove most valuable is be-
slowed on too much land. The ef
fort to raise fourteen bushels OF
wheat on an acre Is twice as costly
as to double the yield, as a profit
may be possible in one case and i'm
possible in the other. Everything
not sold off the farm has value and
is worth as much to the farmer as
to the buyer of his produce. 1t Is
as important that he save and utilize
his product, whether in the gorm OF
stock, crops or manure, as 1t is to
send such to market to be sold for
cash.-Epitomist.
