About the States.

With the admission of the two
territories, Arizona and New Mexico
there are fOrty-eight states in the
Union. When the United States
was consolidated into a government
there were thirteen states which
agreed to 90 into it for more
perfect union" Since then the 9TH
er states have been admitted one
by one, or two by two.
Vermont was the first state ad-
mitted to the Union after it became
a Union; that was in 1871. After
that Kentucky came in in 1892,
Tennessee in 1896. That made the
Union body of sixteen states
when the new century started in
1900. Ohio came in 1903, and was
never formally admitted" and pro-
claimed. Then came Louisiana in
1872, Illinois in 1918, Alabama in
1919, Maine in 1920 and Missouri
in 1921. That made a Union of
twenty-four states. Arkansas was
admitted in 1886, Michigan in 1887
Florida became a state in 1915
Iowa in 1916, Wisconsin in 1S4S.
California became a state in 1850
far from any other state though it
was; Minnesota came in in 1889;
Kansas came in bleeding in 1861.
West Virginia was cut out of Vir-
ginia in 1868. and Nevada was ad-
mitted in 1864. 1t was nine years
before another state was admitted.
Colorado became a state in 1876.
Then after years, the DakOtaS were
admitted, with Montana and Wash
ington in 1889. Only this once
were 50 many states admitted in a
group. Idaho and Wyoming came
in in 1890. Utah was admitted in
1897, and now in 1910 we have the
last two territories admitted.
This final admission of territories
makes it possible to arrange the
stars on the national flag in SYM
metrical manner and that will
mark the end of the growth of the
Union. All of the states are in the
Union, and the United States is
grown
The next development will be
the admission of some of the nom
contiguous American territories
Alaska, for instance, expects to
have the forty-ninth star and Hawaii
will not be content unless the fifth

How About the Hog Prices?

Hogs are worth 7 cents a pound
on foot, but pork sells for rs cents
a pound in West Plains. This
means 10 cents to market and re-

The Ways ~ Moles.

Among common animals few have
been less studied IN their life history
than the mole. An English natural
list. Mr.. Lionel e. Adams. says that
under the fortress" which the mole
constructs above the surface Of the
ground will always be found series
of tunnels running out beneath the
adjacent field curious feature al
most invariably found Is u perpendic-
ular run penetrating about foot be-
low the bottom of the nest and then
turning upward to meet another run.
A mole Is never found In his nest. al
though 1t may be yet warm from his
body when opened. Guided by smeB
and hearing. mole frequently locates
the nest of partridge or pheasant
above his run and. penetrating il from
below. eats the eggs. The adult mole
Is practically blind. but there are en-
bryonic indications that the power OF

TO PROTECT BATS BY LAW.

San Antonio, Texas, Oct. 29.-As a
result of the discovery by DR.. Charles
A. r. Campbell that the bat is the
natural enemy of the mosquito, physi-
clans of this city and county have
started a campaign to protect the bat
by law. Resolutions passed by vari
GUS medicai societies say in substance
the doctors are convinced that the bat
is a most valuable and natural n.y.
gienic agent and that its cultivation
and propagation is most earnestly to
be desired. At the next session of the
legislature bill for the protection Of
the bat will be introduced.
DR.. Campbell advocates that every
in city grow bats, by
this means completely eradicating the
The doctor claims the bat
is entirely free from diseases of any
kind, because OF its habits and the
peculiar germ proof formation of the
exterior of its body. They fly con-
.inuously for twelve and fourteen
hours and in the course of nights
fly, when its food Is gathered, a bat
will cover $50 miles distance. One bat
n twenty-four hours will destroy for
his daily food supply $40 average mos
luitoes, and an average bat will con.
sumo 117,0OO,0OO mosquitoes, or
enough to infect malaria a city of
100, 900 inhabitants.

SPLENDID SCENARIO
IN SAN ANTONIO.
Historical Drama Will Be Presented
on Immense Stage.

San Antonio, Texas, Oct. 29.-For
the first time in the South, grand
historical pageant, such as has been
given with success in England and
several of the Northern cities and
towns In the United States, will be
presented at the next spring carnival
In April. For three days the story
will be given Of the beginning, the
growth and development of a nation.
1t Is planned to make the pageant .
national drama, something SO historic
ally correct and picturesque that it
may be produced as well in Madison
Square Garden, New York, as under
the live oak trees by the winding river
in San Antonio.
From $50 to 300 persons will be on
the stage at one time. This stage will
be placed on the banks of the river
and will represent an open space in a
dense oak forest. An amphitheatre ca
pable of seating 10000 persons will be
built. No section of the country has
a history more dramatic, more thrill
ing than Texas, which has been gov.
erned under six flags, those of Spain,
France, Mexico, the Confederate
States, its own flag as the Republic
of Texas, and lastly under the Stars
and Stripes. OF the several hundred
players many will be descendants Of
the actual heroes. The unfolding Of
200 years OF romance, heroism, blood
shed and warfare, with the last chap
ter depicting the amazing growth Of
the Southwest, the New Empire in
the United States" will be show in a
scenario SO thrilling the story will be
lifted above local color and become
nationwide in Importance. Some IA
nous actress will be secured to speak
the prologue to each performance. She
will be known as The Spirit Of
Texas"
The following is a tentative ar
rangement of the episodes of the play:
1. Indian village, Indian maiden
dances, war dance of braves, old medi.

mysterious white men.

Chief OF Field Service Says He
Did What Ballinger Is
Accused Of.
LISTED ALASKA CLAIMS
Investigation of CLAWS Charges Is
Gradually Coming to
an End.

WASHINGTON, May 14.-George F.
Schwarz, chief of the field service of
the forestry bureau, came to the rescue
of his chief, Secretary Ballinger, yester-
day, taking upon his own shoulders
much of the blame for things for which
the secretary is under fire. The testi-
mony of Schwarz was heard before the
Ballinger investigation committee yes
terday afternoon, after the secretary
had concluded his own test monv.
Schwarz stated that the clear listing
of the Cunningham claims was done by
him on his own responsibility, the sec
rotary only initiating the papers con-
corning the claims upon which action
was to be taken.
Secretary Ballinger, in his testimony,
ended tamely, there being an absence
yesterday of the sensational features
that have made the investj cation one
of the affairs of paramount interest
here
