PREACHER COMMENTS ON
NEED OF NEWSPAPERS

Cambridge, Mass, April 10
Keep in touch with the newspaper
men," is the advise of Rev. c. F.
Reisner. a New York pastor, who is
the chief speaker of the New Eng
land Conference of Methodist
churches, in session here.
"It is a great mistake for some
clergymen to keep aloof from news
paper men and refuse to be inter-
Viewed" said DIR. Reisner.
Everybody reads the newspapers,
and If you want to get your inter-
ests before the public, you must adj
vertise in this important agency.
They will always treat you fairly If
you give them reason for doing so.

FARMER NAILS HIMSELF
UP IN A FEED TROUGH

Somerset, KY, April u. c.
Bullock, a prosperous farmer of this
county, went to his barn yesterday
and, finding a slat off the hayrack,
got upon the feed trough to tack it
back and stuck his head through
the hole and nailed himself up and
before he released it,threw the ham
mer to the ground. The barn was
such distance from his home that
he could make no one hear his cries
and he had to stay penned in the
rack from early morning until late
in the afternoon, when his son came
to feed. He was in such cramped
condition that when he was liberat-
ed he tainted.

turned he again added to his deeds
of valor. He was crossing the
bridge on an interurban car, on his
way from Jeffersonville to Louis
Vile. Four men on the trolley be-
came boisterous, badly frightening
the women passengers. Burning
interviewed, corraled the four and
marched them down to Central Po-
lice Station, where he turned them
over to an officer, who placed them
under arrest.
A few weeks later several men en-
gagged in a fstic encounter at
Fourth and Jefferson streets. A riot
ensued. Burning happened along,
got into the midst of the battle, and
a few minutes later peace was res
tored.
Now he is fighting Mexicans.
More power to him, his friends de-
clare.
Brave General Dead.
Mexicali, Mex, April 9.-Gen.
Stanley Williams, who was wound
ed yesterday in the spectacular as
sault when his little force of seventy
men engaged the entire Eighth Bat
talon of the Mexican army, died to-
day in the improvised hospital es-
tablished by the United States
troops at Calexico.
Together with the other dead
brought from the battlefield five
miles away, the fallen chieftain was
buried tonight in the little grave
yard at Mexicah, just behind the
breastworks.
Fifty men who participated in the
daring sortie have returned to Mex
icali. Eleven others have deserted
and are now in the jail established
by the American troops at Calexico.

GOOD FARM PROSPECTS
INDICATED BY REPORT

Frankfort, KY, April 6.-Commis-
sioner of Agriculture M. c. Rankin
has issued his first crop report for
the year. and says that the weather
during the month of March has
been favorable for farm work.
There has been a great deal of plow-
ing done, several communities re-
porting IS per cent. of the ground
broken. The rainfall during the
winter has been quite sufficient TO
keep the ground in good condition,
so that 1t is breaking up in excel
lent shape.
This is one indication of a good
crop year, as it is of very great i'm
portance to have a good seed bed
before planting.
The warm weather in February
and the first of March, followed by
freezes, resulted in the peach crop
being damaged, and the apple crop
will be light in many sections.
Damage to other fruits cannot be
determined as yet.
The averages and conditions in
the report follow: Wheat, SO per
cent; rye, 90 per cent; clover, 95
per cent; alfalfa, SO per cent; hogs,
9 per cent; sheep, per cent; cat
tie, 2 per cent; horses, per cent;
mules, per cent; poultry, IL per
cent; fruit condition, 6S per cent,
and tobacco, rs per cent.

China's First Cabinet.

From the Shanghai Mercury.
BY the imperial decree issued yesterday
China has advanced another step on the
way to bringing her system OF govern
ment into conformity with those Of con-
stitutional countries, and has also un-
doubtedly made another great stride In
the direction of constitutionalism. The
formation Of a responsible cabinet to per-
form the functions Of the present grand
council and grand secretariat and to
bring about cooperation between the diff
ferent boards has been discussed for
some time. and although the decree states
that the new body is to be regarded as
an experiment there seems little reason
to doubt that the constitution Of the
cabinet is now an accomplished fact.
Most Of the new ministers were presi-
dents OF the boards which are now ANAL
gamated into the cabinet. The system
seems to be modelled on the Japanese
and continental systems. Prince Ching
is the president. a position which CORE
spends to that of premier, and two other
grand councillors are vice presidents. Al
though there is q minister OF foreign at
fairs in the new cabinet. q clause of the
decree states that Prince Ching. who
was formerly president Of the Waiwupu
is to continue to superintend foreign af-
fairs. The doings OF China's first cab
met will be watched with interest.

Conquering the Air.
From Leslic's.


The twentieth century problem Is how
to conquer the air. The success OF the
aeroplane as a practical vehicle depends
on how thoroughly this is done AS the
navigator of the water must know It's
currents it's eddies. its obstacles and OBJ
structions so the areonaut and the avia-
tor must know the currents OF the air
and how to meet them. The navigator OF
the water can see by ripples ahead or by
the foaming of the surf the dangers that
confront him. The navigator Of the air
has no warning signal whatever He
must be prepared for instant action, and
this preparation is the one essential for
him who would conquer the air. He must
be guided largely by intuition. helped out
by a quickness of eye and ear and all
the sensibilities. The successful aviator
Is the one who not only has the daring
to do the risky things. but he who has
intuition. knowledge and skill to meet
the waves and whirlpools and even So
called air rocks which confront him with
out losing HIS head. The reader may
smile at a thought that the currents of
the air. erratic as they are, can be over
come. To be sure, 1t has not yet been
found possible. to chart the air as our
watercourses are charted or to establish
aerial lighthouses and bell buoys, for
the air conditions are constantly chang
ing: but there are methods by which. to
certain extent. the currents of the air
can be ascertained and the aviator given
an inkling of what is going several
thousand feet above him before he leaves
terra firma.
