LANDS POST TO RUSSIA
CURTIS GUILD, JR., IS APPOINTED
7Y PRESIDENT TAFT.
Editor and Owner Of Newspaper Sue.
ceeds w. w. Rcckhill, the Latter
Going to conatantinople.

Washington, d. C.-The president
has announced the appointment of
Curtis Guild, Jr., of Massachusetts
as ambassador to Russia, to succeed
Ambassador w. w. Rockhill, who goes
to Constantinople as ambassador. 1t
has been understood that Mr.. Curtis
would be sent to Constantiuople to fill
the vacancy there but it is said here
that Mr. Rockhll wanted to go to
Constantinople and the change was
made agreeably with his wish. Other
wise the sending of Mr.. Rockhill to
Constantinople, an inferior post to
that of st. Petersburg, might have
been regarded as a demotion. 1t is
understood always that the posts at
London, Paris, Berlin and st. Peters
burg require men of unlimited means.
That Mr.. Gould was to get big job
has been known so well that the presi-
dent was continually asked what
plum had been selected for him. Only
recently the president was asked if
it were true that Mr.. Guild had been
selected for Constantinople. The
president would not say anything in
advance of the official announcement
which was first made at the state
department but under release until
sent to the senate. The president,
however, made the name public later.
The president has always spoken of
Mr.. Guild in the highest terms and
especially after he got into the semi
diplomatic field as special ambassador
to Mexico on the occasion of the cele-
bration recently at the Mexican cap
ital.
Officially Mr.. Guild is described as
follows: He is a native of Boston
and is 81 years of age; he is gradu-
ate of Harvard and received the de-
gree of LID, from Holy Cross col
lege in 1906 and from Williams col
lege in 1908, and the degree of S. T.
ID. from the University of Geneva in
1909. Soon after his graduation he
entered the Office of the Commercial
Bulletin of Boston where he served
from bill collector to editor, becom-
ing sole owner of that paper in 1902.
He was a brigadier general of state
militia at the outbreak of the Span.
ish-American war and was lieutenant
colonel of the Seventh corps during
the Spanish-American war; was lieu
tenant governor of Massachusetts
from 1902-1905 and governor of Massa-
chusetts from 1906 to 1909.

People Homeless.

st. Louis, Mo.-At least a score of
persons were killed, hundreds were
injured and inestimable damage done
to property by tornado which swept
from Missouri through the southeast
ern corner of Kansas and into Okla
homa. Eight persons were killed and
ten injured at Big Heart, Okla,
town on the Midland Valley railroad
in the Usage nation. The entire town
was devastated. Scarcely single
home of the 400 inhabitants remains
standing, according to messages re-
ceived from those aboard relief trains
which went from Pawhuska and
Avante.
The town Of Whiting, 25 miles north
of Topeka, was wiped out. More than
80 persons were injured and upwards
of 60 houses blown down. The high
school building was wrecked at Esk-
ridge, 20 miles south of Topeka, and
several persons injured. The tornado
apparently swept on to Netawaka and
Powhattan. Both towns report heavy
damage. At Powhattan a woman and
a child were killed and large num-
ber were injured at Notawaka. A

Douglas, Ariz.-After an all day
battle, the most terrific conflict
that has thus far marked the
Mexican revolution, victory crowns
the arms of the 1000 rebels defend
ing the border town of Aqua Prieta.
The desperate effort of the 1000 Mex
ican national troops under Lieut.. Col.
Diaz to retake the city has failed and
the federals have suffered heavy
losses in killed and wounded. So far
as Douglas was concerned, President
Taft's demand that hostilities be con-
Quoted in zone insuring safety to the
Americans was utterly disregarded.
Throughout the long days battle
bullets rained necessarily in the
streets and riddled the houses of the
little Arizona town and at this writ
ing half a dozen citizens have suf-
fered wounds in the continual storm
of missiles. Instead of fighting the
battle in the desert as they proposed
the rebels entrenched in and around
Aqua Prieta in such fashion as to
make hopeless Douglas immunity
from bullets, and the federal army, in
stead of attacking from the east or
west as has been promised, advanced
from the southwest, which placed
Douglas much in the same situation
as the background of target. So far
as can be determined when dusk
stopped the fighting the rebel loss was
trifiing, consisting of several score
wounded and about 20 dead while the
federal losses are estimated at more
than 200.
Battle Was Thrilling.
In all particulars the battle was a
thrilling and dramatic novelty in this
war of outposts. 1t began at dawn
out the day, marked by ferocious and
determined battling on both sides and
by a quality of valor not expected or
hitherto displayed in this desultory in
ternal war. The position of the rebels
throughout was that of the defensive
Protected by intrenchments they ex-
acted a bitter price from the federal
forces instead of an ineffective clash,
usually climaxed by hurried retreat
The fight was a stand-up battle on the
side of the federals, suggestive of
the old shoulder to shoulder days of
the American rebellion. In an open
stretch of desert, like a theater, un-
dnre the blazing rays of an April sun
the two forces exchanged perpetual
fusillade hours after hour that marked
up a conflict of exceptional ferocity
and determination.

PROFESSOR COTTREll SAYS
MILO MAIZE N THE STUFF
Every ra,ms, ehsuIa Plant .. Leaet
Fosty Acsos 40 u knows No
Failure, Contains %
Per Cent

That the production in Eastern Col.
orado for the year 1911 can be increas.
ed by the enormous total of s25, OOO, 600.
is the opinion of Professor H. M. Cot.
trell, commissioner of agricultural for
the Rock Island lines, who in the inter-
view which follows. has outlined com.
prehensive plan which should be follow
ed, of at least tried this year by every
farmer in eastern and northeastern Col
orado. There is enough tillable land in
eastern Colorado to provide 1000 $40
acre FARMS" says professor Cottrell.
II can call to mind one eastern Colorado
farm of that size on which the average
income from dairy cows alone is 81 500 a
year. In addition to this. the owner
has good cash income from hogs and
wheat. There is no reason why every
S2O-acres in the plains section of the
state should not do as well" "When
development has been blought to that
point it means an annual income from
dairying alone Of sll2, 900, 900 for east
em Colorado. BESIDES this, the dry
land farmers will have their cash income
from wheat and hogs, and their living.
In good wheat years they can double
their income, and when wheat fails they
have dairying, poultry raising and hogs
as sure sources of revenue. Now then,
the business men generally and some
few homesteaders themselves are scep-
tical, because of the failure that was
made years ago during the first influx
Of settlers. They must remember that
at that time, these settlers attempted
to raise wheat, corn and oats in the
same manner that was followed in the
humid regions, dry land farming meth
dds were then unknown. milo had not
been heard of in America. The busi-
ness men of Denver and other points
finally had to come to the rescue of the
drought-stricken farmers and assist
them financially to return east. There
has been great progress since that time
in all lines Of farming, and the develop
ment in the cultivation of semi-arid
lands have been especially remarkable.
Things then undreamed of are now be-
ing accomplished on dry land farms. 1t
is not u question of theory now, but
practical results may be seen wherever
good methods Of moisture conservation
are followed. Inmy previous interview
! called attention to milo as the found
alton crop for the dry land country.
That crop knows no failure. During
