Two Families With Five Children Of

turning From Stay Abroad.

Stanton, April 26.-No more dis
tressing incident of the disaster to
the Titanic occurred than was brought
to the homes of several Iowa families.
1t became known yesterday that nine
residents and to-be residents of this
state, all members of one family, went
to their deaths on the lost liner.
Ernest Danbom of this place, with
his wife and infant child, returning
from a long honeymoon, which took
them to many foreign lands, were
lost. With them were Mr. and Mrs.
Andrew Anderson and their four chill
dren. They were all lost also. Mrs.
Anderson was sister of Mrs. Dan
bonn. The loss of the five children is
a pathetic feature of the drowning of
these two families.

New York, April 26.-Two hundred

less dispatch today to the White Star
line and gives the further information
that the majority OF the bodies Will
never come to the surface.
The following dispatch was receiv-
ed by the White Star lire through the
Cape Race station:
Drifting in dense fog since noon
yesterday. Total picked up 205. We
brought away all embalming fluid to
be had in Halifax, enough for seventy
people.
with a weeks fine weather I think
we would pretty well clean up relics
of the disaster. 1t is my opinion that
the majority will never come to the
surface"
Another wireless dispatch from the
Mackey-Bennett states.
Death Was instantaneous.
Bodies are in altitude Abs north,
longitude 4S.37 west extending many
miles east and west. Mail ships
should give this wide berth. Medi'
cal opinion is death has been instant
aneous in all cases owing to pressure
when bodies drawn down in vortex"
The fact that the Mackay-Bennett
has been able to communicate by
wireless with the Cape Race station
shows that she is laying her course
toward Halifax as she was without
the zone of the Cape Race station for
several days and was only able to
get into touch with land through 9TH
er steamers relaying her messages.
The body of Maj. Archibald Butt is
among those recovered by the Mack

THE NEGRO FARMERS

Here Is letter being distributed
among the negroes OF the Mississippi
delta by one of their own race:
Mound Bayou, Miss.
Dear Friend-You will agree with
me that Mound Bayou, along with the
rest of this section. has experienced
the highest time" In her history
While some OF the causes were not
our own, yet there was much that we
could have done-that we did not do
which would have made conditions
better.
In order that l may, in some de.
gree, help US profit in 1912 by our mis-
takes in 1911 and the other years past
l am writing you now.
One, OF the most embarrassing stu
ations Is. that we find ourselves with
out meat In the smokehouse, no meal
in the barrel, no home-raised corn In
the crib, no COW at the pail, not only
our stock without feed. but ourselves
dependent upon the merchant for sup
plies. 1t Is a shame, almost crime
that here in this fertile section, where
most anything will grow and land
abundant for our use, that we would
have been so short-sighted, so foolish
as to be caught in such condition.
The heavy rains and boil weevil are
some excuse for not raising enough
cotton to meet our expectations, bu,
there is no excuse for our not having
raised feedstuff to sustain the life 81
our stock and cattle and food for our
table use.
LazinesA idleness, lack of thrift and
foresight Are charged against us. and
we stand guilty as charged" The
ones who continue TN this old rut viii
find themselves forced against the
wall, and will lose in the work we are
trying to do here at Mound Bayou-ir
fact, such persons will not find room
anywhere.
Now, let us profit by the mistakes
Of last year. Let us get down tC
work, not for few weeks or few
months, but every hour, every day
every week, every month, until the
year closes.
If you will thus engage yourself
you will find time to raise hogs, cows
chickens, hay and truck, and still
raise as much cotton as ever. 1t is 8
mistake to try to make your cotton
crop feed you, clothe you. pay your
debts and give you bank account
for the rainy day. 1t Is an idle dream
and will not work.
Now. this is plain, hard talk, a,d
you may not like it, but II you Will
take the medicine this year you viii
not be annoyed with your present az
ment one year hence. Happy will be
the fellow who keeps out OF debt and
clears money out OF his first cotton
