to deliver the craft, Confronted with
his situation, he apparently decided
to do the next best thing and at least
issue a challenge for a fight on his
own behalf. The American is 200
feet long, 33 foot beam and II foot
draft. She carried two t~hree-pound-
ers, two eix-pounders, two one
Founders and several automatic
rifles, Just what Mr.. Dick is going
TO do with her is not known. Pres1-
dent Simon, facing apparent defeat,
is in Port au Prince, making his last
stand. To him and no one else, the
Wall street man is going to turn over
the boat. He bought her from Mrs.
Archibald Watt, of New York for
$3.50 and. it is understood, sold
her to President Simon for a much
higher figure. 1t Is conceded here
that the side that gets the American
will be able to win the fight for con-
troll of the island.

WILL RAISE
MORE ALFALFA
JOHN M. M'ELRoY REGRETS HAv.
ING FLOWED HIS WESTERN
HAY.
CHANGED HIS MIND.
Determined Now to Plant the Feed Il
He Has to Invade His cornfieId
In Order to Do It, 10
Enthusiastic.

| Coming to the Courier office with
two excellent samples Of alfalfa which
he plowed from his fields short time
ago, and which he was taking to the
firm from whom he, with three other
farmers, purchased seed some three
years ago, John M. McElroy of Center
| township short distance south Of
the city, stated that he regretted plow-
ing the western hay and will lose no
time in sowing more of the feeding
product. The specimens brought by
Mr.. McElroy showed height above
the ground of about thirty inches and
root thickness of three-quarters OF an
inch Mr.. McElroy stated that follow
ing the farmers institute in the winter
of 1909 he, with three other Wapello
county farmers, purchased quantity
Of alfalfa seed and sowed three acres
August 20, 1908. The following June
he took four wagon loads at one cut
ting and has cut crop In June, July
and September each year after, until
losing patience with the alfalfa, he fin
ally plowed 1t up. There were few
seeds that found their way outside Of
the place Of original planting and
these were left unmolested until day
or two ago. when he concluded to
plow the plant up and investigate 1t.
His study of the specimens plowed up
recently have changed his opinion ma
terially as to the value of the plant
When he originally plowed up the al
falfa, 1t was in order to plant potatoes
and because the alfalfa was half mile
from his house. The failure of potatoes
this year and the fact that his recently
plowed specimens Of alfalfa has made
him decide to plant some more and go
into the alfalfa raising on a larger
scale.
Plant Among Corn.
Mr.. McElroy stated that he will put
in about five acres Of alfalfa and II
he cannot find ground to use, he will
even plant It in the corn fields, for
he Ia now enthusiastic about the west
ern hay and says that only patience is
needed, as nature looks after the plant
after a few years and there is nothing
to do but cut the crops three times
year. He also owns piece Of land
in Colorado where his daughter re-
sides, and on 1t there Is a quantity of
alfalfa growing. This has added to his
interest in the plant and he Is deter
mined to give it ground room and de-
velop the new hay into the regular
output of his farms. Large quantities
of seed are on the plants.

President Taft, Colonel Roosevelt,
Woodrow Wilson and other men Of

clined. The extra session Of congress
makes it impossible for many Of the
