PRAYING AT THE CAPITAL.
At the Same Time Complications
Are Thickening.

Mexico City. April y While all
devout Catholics here at the request
of the archbishop began today to
join i'm prayer for the re-estabIish-
ment of peace official Mexico sees
no way To avoid a conflict at Juarez.
Still refusing To treat with the rebels
the government has ignored the ulti-
matum issued by Francisco l. Ma
dero. demanding the resignation of
President Diaz UnOfficiaHy it is
known that the proposition has been
received That the president thinks
of yielding to its terms is not con-
sidered remotely possible. The stu
dent question has also arisen.
Two days ago controversy arose
at the agricultural school between the
students and the director which re
suited in sending a small detachment
of soldiers To the institution to pre-
serve order The incident appeared
to have been closed when the stu
dents of the school of medicine came
forward with grievances last night
After receiving promises of support
from the Puebla schools they at a
mass meeting decided To join the
peaceful wing of the revolution and
ask President Diaz to resign.
As a political factor the student
body at the capital is not forgotten.
The antiAmerican riots last Novem-
Der had their inception with the stu
dents. What form their demonstra-
tion may take is not known Four
schools. law. mines. medicine and
agriculture-were represented at the
mass meeting tonight A circular
carrying their demand for Diaz'
resignation will he printed and dis
tributed tomorrow.
Tomorrow afternoon another meet
ing will be held and all will be asked
to sign one of these circulars. then
the entire body will call upon the
executive for the delivery of the
document.
The subject most discussed is the
probable outcome of the battle Of
Juarez Few here believe that Ma
dero has any chance to win.

New Farm Suggestion.

A new farm suggestion comes from
a professor in the Oklahoma Agricul-
tural college, says the American Guilt
vator. He urges that each farm COM
munity have what he calls an Acre
club. Each member is to cultivate
one acre Of land so as to produce as
nearly a pesfect crop as possible. each
man selecting a different crop and
keeping account Of a method and the
day OF planting, etc. Also itemiEing
the total cost OF producing the crop
and its value at time Of harvesting.
The Acre club would meet in picnic
fashion or at the homes Of the mem
bers and talk over their experiences
with their model acre, offering ono an
other suggestions for the special crops
chosen. No reason why this idea could
not be adopted BY farmers clubs and
oranges. The acre experiences would
make Z very valuable feature OF the
years work.

sEvENTEEN-YEAR LOCUST DUE
Thirteen-Year Brood Expected to Ap'

Mississippi Valley.
CBy C. l..

(By c. I. MARLATTD
Two important broods of the pc
riodical cicada-the 13-year and IL.
year locust-are due to appeal during
1911 in different parts Of the United
States.
One of these, the 17-year-race, ex-
tends from New York southwark into
North Carolina, in general, lying east
of the Allegheny mountains. The 49,
year race covers the lower half of the
Mississippi valley.
Both OF these broods have been
very carefully studied In past years
and their distribution has been. in the
main, probably accurately deter.
mined. The approaching reappear-
ance, however, Of these broods Of
cicada has led to inquiries, and cir
culars have been issued by the gov
eminent, and also the experiment sta
lions OF various states, to meet these
inquiries, and also for the purpose OF
securing reports of occurrence to add
to the present knowledge Of the dis
tribution of these broods.

Economy Board to Save Millions

THE economy and efficiency board is
1 beginning to get results. 1t has
reached a point in its labors where it
thinks it foresees where a million dol
lars may be saved during the first year
of it's existence.
At present 1t Is devoting its atten-
tons largely to the item of travelling
expenses of government employees and
to the duplication of work in the de-
partments. The president and the mem
bers of his cabinet were surprised to
learn from this board that the travel
ing expenses charged against the treas
ury last year aggregated about s12,-
coo, 900.
Just how much this enormous sum
can be reduced without crippling the
public service In the least Is still a
question, but the members of the econ
omy and efficiency board are conf
dent that a great saving ear be made.
The heads of the executive depart
ments have received instructions to
pare travelling expenses wherever pos
sible. This order is applicable to the
war and navy departments, as well as
to all other departments of govern
ment.
OF course, the largeness of the item
for travelling expenses is due in great
measure to the laws under which men
in the navy and in the army, either
as officers or ~privates. receive travel
allowances. The travel expenses of
the department of agriculture and
the department of the interior are
also necessarily heavy. and the same

Can't Have the Old Portsmouth

THE navy department probably will
be unable to comply with the
wishes Of the people Of California who
have asked that the old sailing ship
Portsmouth now at the New York navy
yard. be towed to the Pacific coast to
be preserved there as a ava mu-
scum. The people of the Pacific coast
are anxious to have the Portsmouth
sent TO San Francisco bay because
she was identified with the early his
torv of California. She sailed into
San Francisco bay and took possession
IN the name OF the United States. II
she had not taken this action what is
now California might have become a
mart of the British empire. as two
british cruisers arrived there only q
few hours after the Portsmouth. The
San Francisco people want to use the
old vessel as an exhibit In connection
with the coming exposition there.
The navy department, however. has
received a report from q board Of u :
yey which estimated that about $751;
900 would be necessary to fit the old
sailing vessel for the long cruise to the
west coast. In addition the expense Of
such a long trip would be considerable.

Shoddy in Much Less Demand

greater part of this increase took
place during the second half of the
decade; In fact, the increase of over
500, 000, 900 in the FIVE years since
1904 is far greater than that of any
decade prior to 1900 In the history
of the industry.
The quantity of wool consumed. In
condition purchased, increased from
330,179,000 pounds to 474,751,0 900
pounds. or A per cent; reckoned on
a secured wool basis, the increase was

SO per cent. while the amount of
cotton yarn purchased increased
from 35.343.00 0 pounds to 39.169. 900
pounds, or IL per cent. The net re-
suit is a decided decrease in the
amount of cotton used as a material
by wool manufacturers.
The figures also show a marked de-
crease in the use of shoddy. The
quantity purchased decreased 35 per
cent. and the amount manufactured
In wooden mills for use therein fell

This is explained by the fact that

the following rotation Of crops:
Corn and cowpeas, soy beans, vel

Turn under all the corn or cotton

been broken before. Lay off the rows
five feet wide with a shovel pillow as

16 per cent acid phosphate in the drill

der the present administration. I'm
der the preceding administration no
effort was made to hold In check

necessary.
