at Hankow has notified the foreign
consuls that a new government has
been established.

the signal for a wholesale desert1on,
which can mean nothing less than
the destruction Of the city.

The troops at the great military

WOMEN ARE GIVEN BALLOT
feat Into Victory for Suffragist
Amendment.

San Francisco, Cal.-Woman suf-
frage has triumphed in California
Struggling returns have wiped out the
majority previously recorded against
the amendment, and since this turn
the margin in favor of the amend
ment has increased steadily. Totals
show the result to be as follows: For
suffrage amendment, 1880; against,
117,779; majority for amendment.
2,O51.
These figures represent the returns
from 2,877 precincts out of 1921 Of
the state. AS virtually all of the re-
naming precincts are in counties
which have given suffrage majorities,
it is reasonable to suppose they will
increase this margin.

SOIL CONSERVATION.

In the last decade covered by cen

to wheat in the United States pro
duced 1875 bushels year. Austria. in
the same period, produced II bushels
per acre, France, 1913, Germany ZIG
and the United Kingdom 1922. In the
same decade our average yield of
oats was less than 80 bushels per acre.
while Great Britain's was AZ and Ger
many's 46. For barley the figures are
25 bushels per acre, as compared with
33 for Germany and 34.6 for Great
Britain Comparisons similarly unfa-
vorable to our agricultural progress
might be presented at wearisome
length, says the Ohio State Journal
Nearly all show that our boosted soil
is giving poorer results than the bard
worked farm lands of European coun-
tries. It is not the soils fault. 1t is
because we have neglected the con-
servation of our soil. just as we have
neglected the conservation Of our for
ests and our other natural resources.
We have been forever taking some
thing out and putting nothing back

soul for better farming because he

CHRISTMAS PARTY.

Little Miss Jessie S. McCabe enjoyed
the company of her little friends last
Monday evening at lovely little party.
A tree beautifully decorated stood in the
parlor, around which danced the little
friends playing games and admiring the
nice gifts Santa Claus left for dear little
Jessie. Delicious refreshments were
served, and when the time came to say
goodbye all said it reluctantly, but they
frightened up somewhat when the dear
mother and grandparents distributed to
the little ones dainty fruit and stockings
full of all things imaginable. May little
Jessie live long and prosper and enjoy
many such joyful gatherings as the one
just passed.

and it was also the first in the new tenn
pie This edifce is perhaps the hand
honest in the State of Texas, and of it
self needs no ornamentation, but for this
occasion beautiful southern smilax had
been arranged on the choir railing, and
magnificent palms and ferns graced the
rear of the altar and outlined the outer
railing the whole forming a perfect
bower for the bridal party during the
ceremony.
