ATWOOD LOVERS
EIOped in an Auto and Were
Married at Cove.
Kansas Romance With LOchin-

MET AT GARAGE.
Circumvented Efforts of Parents

Groom Run a Garage, Bride At

Atwood, Nov. 23.-Word has just
been received here that Joe Young
blood and Nellie Preder, who eloped
last week in an auto, had been mar
ried at Cove City and would come
home to ask forgiveness.
The story of the sensational elope-
ment is as follows: In company with
another young lady, Miss Nellie start
ed to attend the Billiken club, a young
ladies society, and making an excuse
that she had forgotten something, and
declining the company of her com
panion, saying she would come later,
she must have gone directly to the
McIrvin garage, picking up her suit
case packed with clothes, which she
had slipped from the house without
the knowledge of any one. At the
garage, her lover and Omer Wolf, a
friend who had been hired to bring
back the car, stood impatiently wait
ing by car ready for race, if neces-
sary; it would be for that prize which
has been the object of the noblest men
and story since the race of man was
young-a bonny, bonny bride.
Made so Mile Run.
At 1920 o'clock. the fleeing pair
were at Oakley, 60 miles away. In a
few minutes, two trains pulled in on
the main line of the U. P, but
they bought no tickets and no one
These young people first met four
years ago, when Joe Youngblood was
sent to Atwood from the Massilon, O.,
auto works to look after some cars in
this vicinity. 1t appears to have been
a case of love at first sight, although
he was but about IS, while Miss Nellie
was four years younger, perhaps. At
ter his return, correspondence between
them was more or less regularly; and
when another trip in the company
interest brought
Kansas City, he determined to come
on to Salina, where Miss Preder, who
possesses a splendid voice, was attend
ing music school. After a visit of a
few days, Youngblood came on to At
wood and took charge of the garage
owned by DR.. McIrvin, and has made
good money all summer. He recently
declined an offer of $35 a week in
Kansas City.
Parents Feared EIopement.
curing the summer, the young peo-
pie were together daily. In September,
Miss Nellie returned to music school,
and when DR.. McIrvin took a vacation
about six weeks ago, Joe visited his
sweetheart at Salina, and like most
any parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Preder
feared an elopement. Mr.. Preder fol-
lowed and brought his daughter home.
1t is what almost any other parent
would have done, and it had the usual
result. When he tried to communicate
with his affianced, the lover found all
avenues closed. But love finds a
way" and love found a way in this
case. Preparations were perfect, and
the arrangement to make the attemp
on an evening when the young ladies'
club was to meet was certainly a
shrewd one. Until they were far out
of the city no lights were lit, and any
any one meeting the car-no one
would pass it-would not have Observ-
ed a lady in the machine at all.

WIRES ARE OPEN.
And Train Service Resumed on Next
can International.

Eagle Pass, Nov. 23.-Train service on
the Mexican International road has
been resumed but schedules are uncer-
tain. Telegraph communication has
been restored between Ciudad Porfirlo
Diaz and Mexico City. Mexican secret
service agents say the wires are being
tapped by the revolutionists who thus
learn of the movement of federal
troops. The proclamation of Madero
states that foreigners need have no
fear of an attack by the revolutionists.
Banks are not molested.
This movement is solely directed
cular, land Americans as well as other
foreigners can rest in safety.
mo foreign business house is to be
touched and foreigners need not fear
an attack We are solely in opposition
to the deSpOt and are working to obtain
our constitutional rights"
Particular attention is directed to
the fact that Americans own a con-
siderable part of the stock of the ma
tional railways of Mexico and all
friends of the revolutionary cause are
warned that damage to this property
might result in the L. S. government
taking steps that would embarrass
the provincial government. The pro-
success of the revolutionary cause and
strongly advises against doing any
thing that might give grounds for
foreign intervention.
Madero is hiding in the mountains
on his own land, fifty miles from
Cfudad Porfirio Diaz. engaged in mo-
biIizing his followers, according to in
formation given American officials
today by Mexican army officers.

valescence.
The shippers Side
John Claf1in, president of the H. B.
Claf1in company, delivered an address
in part, as follows:
THE railroads now have reached a
point where it seems difficult to in
crease gross revenue materially without
very great expenditures for betterment
and for extensions. I ask then, will it
be advanta geous for the average mer-
chant outside of New York to pay some
increase in freight rates to help the
general situation? I think it will. A
retail business amounting in sales to
perhaps a million dollars per annun,
located, say, beyond the Mississippi
may now pay $4,000 for freight and ex-
press from the east. If freight rates
should be raised IL per cent on the
average it would pay $4,000 additional
to the railroads. What would such a
business be likely to gain? Let any
merchant look back over his records
and mark the years of general railroad
| extension and improvement on the one
| hand, and the years of railroad re-
| trenchment on the other, and 1 am
sure he will find that his prosperity on
| the average has increased with the pro-
gress of the railroads and has Waned
with their lack of progress.
If the railroads should be permitted
! to make some moderate advance and
| our typical merchant should pay s., 00G
additional in freight and express
| charges. the general activity which re.
! newed railroad buying would induce
| would increase the merchants business
at least 5 per cent and perhaps as much
| as 10 per cent, or Is per cent. AT a
| minimum increase of 5 per cent he
| would get additional sales amounting to
| $50, 900, and his net gain before deduct
| ing the increased payment to the rail-
roads would be at least S., 000 or twice
| as much as he would pay by reason OF
| increased rates for transportation.

GERMANY AND
 CANADIAN WHEAT
LOOKS TO THE CANADIAN WEST
 FOR HER SUPPLY.

A dispatch from Winnipeg, Manito- ba, dated March IS, 1910 says: That Germany is anxious to secure a share of Canadian wheat to supply her im- ports of that cereal" The recent ad- justment of the trade relations with Germany has made it possible to carry on a Canadian-German trade with much fewer restrictions than in the past, and considerable development , of trade between the two Countries is now certain. The great men of the United States are alive to the Wheat situation in this Country now, and there is consequently the deepest interest in every feature that will tend to increase and conserve the wheat supply. With it's present 650,- 000,000 bushel production of wheat and all efforts to increase it almost unavailing, and the rapidly growing consumption of it's increasing popula- tion, there is certainly the greatest reason for the anxiety as to where the wheat is to come from that will feed the nation. The United States will be forced as Germany is to look to the Wheatfields of Canada. One province alone raised last year one eighth as much as the entire produc- tion of the United States, and but twelfth of the wheat area has yet been touched. The Americans who have gone to Canada, are today reaping the benefit of the demand for Canadi, an wheat and they will continue to join in the benefits thus reached for a great many years. Splendid yields are reported from the farms of that Country, and from land that the Gov ernment gives away in 160 acre blocks, and from other lands that have been purchased at from SIP to $15 an acre. John Munter, near Eye brow, Saskatchewan, former resi- dent of Minnesota says:
 Last fall got over 30 bushels of wheat to the acre and had 30 acres of it; also 20 acres spring breaking on which I had flax of which 1 got almost 20 bushels per acre. Had 20 acres in oats and got 70 bushels per acre and 800 bushels potatoes on one and three quarter acre, and can therefore safely say that I had fine crop and am we'll satisfied with my homestead"
 He is considered but small farmer, but he will be one of the big farmers, some of these days. There are many others, hundreds of others, whose yields were beyond this, and whose average under crop was vastly greater. The story of the experience of American farmers in the Canadian West is a long one The time to go, would appear to be now, when splen- did selections may be made, and where land can be purchased at prices that will be doubled in a couple of years.

Effect of Nitrogen.

The effect of nitrogen applied in the form of soda as a topdressing on July 8, 1907, in some Pennsylvania experiments, was plainly evident be- fore the close of August and during the remainder of the season. In the following spring the trees on the nj trogen plats leafed out much greener than those in the other plants, and con. tinued to show the same marked diff. ference previous to the second appli cation of nitrate of soda, late in May These results suggest the possible de sirability of delaying soluble applica- tions of nitrogen, such as nitrate oi soda, until the seasons growth is vel advanced, but not completed. At this time the plants supply of stored food is about exhausted.
