Unusually astute and shrewd in
money matters, the fact that the
banker, with all his experience as an
art collector, is still vulnerable to the
representations of smooth tongued
agents with something good to sell,
is difficult to believe, were it not for
the frequent confession of it by Mr.
Morgan himself.

ing up the systematic smuggling of
foreign made goods by professional
dressmakers as we'll as by the travel
ing public. BY those who can read
through the lines it is interpreted to
mean that the corps of secret agents
of the treasury department mingling
with Americans abroad this year for
the purpose of ascertaining the extent
of their foreign purchases will be
materially strengthened. These agents
make it a point to fraternize with
wealthy Americans when they can and
by winning their confidence have them
admit what they have bought IN the
Old Worlds fashionable centres.
When this is not possible they follow
them about and through the co-opera-
ton of employees in the establishments
Americans most frequently get the in
formation they desire.
While insisting that 1t will be harder
than ever to snnuggle through the port
of New York, Collector Loeb admits
that his men will not be able to inter-
cept all of those who try to bring in
dutiable goods, especially jewelry.
Although all estimates along this line
must be speculative, 1t is the general
impression of those who are familiar
with the resourcefulness of some
travellers in concealing vaIuables
about their persons and luggage, that
the smuggling OF home bound tpassen-
gers will approximate several millions
before the first of October.

4 GREAT BATTLE.

The One Known In History ~ the
"vietory Of Victories"
J. The battle which Is known in his
tory ~ the ''victory Of Victories" took
place at Nehavend. in Ecbatana. and
was fought between the new Moslem
power in 637 and the empire Of Per
sla. then one Of the most powerful Of
the eastern monarchies. 1t was one Of
the most absolutely decisive battles in
the history Of war. and it was all the
more amazing by reason Of the fact
that 1t was won by people who
twenty years before had been un-
known barbarians, lost in the deserts
Of Arabia.
Arabian historians place the Persian
loss in a single day at 100000 men
killed. This may be and probably Is
an exaggeration. but the fact remains
that the Persian dynasty came to an
end when the battle was over and that
Zoroastrianism. which had been the re-
ligion Of Persia for over a thousand
years. was at once supplanted by Is
lam. Its modern representatives. as Is
we'll known, are now the Parsees Of
India.
The victory was so absolutely de-
cisive thnt 1t extended the Arabian do
mirions over the whole Of the region
lying between the Caspian sen and the
Indian ocean. With the exception per-
hans Of the battle Of Tours. no single
light ever made such a difference In
the after history Of the world.

FARMERS ALFALFA
CLUB IS PROPOSED
Alfalfa King" Grout to Aid
-Organize at the Corn
Growers Meeting.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Dec. 7.-Secre-
tary G. l. Christie, Of the Corn Grow
ers' association. is making prepara-
tons for the accommodation of several
hundred members of the association
vino will visit Purdue university Janu-
airy 10. The annual meeting OF the
association is to be held on that day,
in connection with the Purdue farm
ers' short course.
The Indiana Alfalfa Growers club
will be organized at the meeting.
Great interest has been manifested in
this subject in the state in the last
few years, and there are now a large
number OF Hoosier farmers growing
abundant and profitable crops of the
hay. 1t is intended to enroll every
farmer now growing alfalfa as mem
Der, and to induce every other farmer
to become an alfalfa grower. Other
states have found alfalfa a popular
crop, and Indiana, it is believed,
should have little difficulty in assum-
ing leading position in this respect.
The Indiana movement will receive
the support of A. J. Grout, of Win
chester, ILL.,, who has often been styled
the alfalfa king of Illinois" Mr..
Grout, who is we'll known among pro-
gressive agriculturists, has promised
to attend the meeting at Purdue, and
will aid Secretary G.. l. Christie, OF
the corn growers, in the preliminary
organization. He will also discuss
the success possible in alfalfa at one
of the corn growers sessions.
The association is planning corn
and small grain show, to be held dur
ing the week of the Purdue short
course, January s to 13. The exhibit,
this year will excel those of former
years, both in size and quality. A pre-
MUM list, aggregating nearly one thou
sand dollars, will be ready for distri
| button in few days.
! Probably 10 organization in the
state has done so much to better gen
eral growing conditions in Indiana
than the Corn Growers association. Il
has succeeded in bringing the standard
of Indiana corn to high grade, anc
| the effect of it's campaign of educa
! ton and cooperation, in which it re
ceives the fullest assistance of the
Purdue agricultural experts, may east
| ly be seen by a comparison of the
corn fields of Indiana with those of {
decade ago.

WATCH PROGRESS
MADE ON TRACTION
Farmers North Enthusiastic
Over Work Done on
Line to Portland.

So enthusiastic have the citizens liv.
ing north OF Richmond become over
the prospects OF obtaining a north and
south traction line through their
country, that crowds of interested on
lockers follow the engineers as they
travel over the road making the final
survey for the construction of the
new line. Latest reports from the en-
cheering camp show that the field
men are making exceptional progress,
and will complete their task in plenty
OF time for the scheduled beginning
iOf construction. The survey has al.
ready been finished as far as Spartan
burg, and the surveying corps ex-
ternOon.
J. B T. Jeup and A. II. Moore heads
Of the firm which is making the sur
.vey, personally supervised the work
yesterday. and studied the entire
problem to be solved by their men.
The two engineers, accompanied by
Charles Jordan secretary Of the Rich
,mond and Eastern Indiana traction
company. journeyed north in automo-
fbiles on Tuesday. and examined the
lground already covered by the field
men.
In the opinion of the field men, the
work now should Just sail along"
sThe country is level and presents few
hard problems, SO that with continued
good weather, the field squad will
have nothing to impede its work.
The most difficult problem is the
lexit from Richmond. They have al
ready surveyed exits via Sheridan
And Nineteenth streets, but both OF
lof these have serious objections
connected with their use. A third
Doute has now been suggested by sec
Detary Jordan which will take the line
but Seventeenth street, and thence
hollow east of the Middleboro pike to
ediddleboro. where it will connect with
the other two routes under considera-
ltion. AS soon as the engineers have
Ireached Portland. they will return to
lRichmond, and investigate the new
jexit.
