Mr.. Charles Jordan, secretary of the

that every business man in the city,

FLOOD KILLED ONE
THOUSAND PERSONS
Terrible Tragedy Enacted in
Mexico Cloudbursts
Were the Cause.
(National News Association)

MEXICO CITY, July ia thous-
and persons have been killed and pro-
perty loss amounting into the millions
has resulted from floods in the state of
Guanajuato according to advices re-
ceived here today. Cloudbursts
throughout the region carried rivers
out of their courses, inundated hun
dreds of acres of farming land, wash
ing out crops and carrying away farm
houses and outbuildings, and partly de-
stroyed the cities of Salamanca and
Celaya Hore than ten thousand
square miles of country, mostly a
farming section, have been affected
by the floods.
The cloudburst was the most severe
of number that have visited this Sec
ton in the past few months. The rain
fell in such torrents that the valley of
the Santiago was covered to a depth
of seven feet.
The cities are located in this valley
Driftwood and wreckage carried be
fore the flood clogged the natural out
let of the valley and the water backed
up in some parts of the city, flooding
the streets to such a depth that only
the roofs of the houses were visible.
The electric lighting plant was dis
mantled and the cities were left in
darkness. Hundreds of thousands OF
persons have been rendered homeless
and urgent messages have been re
ceived here, asking for supplies. The
flooded country faces a famine.
Two thousand workmen have beer
dispatched from Mexico City to helI
repair the damage. The railroad lead
! ing into the flooded section has beer
washed out and it will be at least two
days before supply trains can be run.

THE BEGGAR'S LEGACY.
II Clothes . Number Of Poor People In
England Annually.

England Annually.
Gifts of clothing are made annually
in many market towns and villages of
Surrey to the poor from a bequest left
for the purpose by Henry Smith, or
Dog" Smith, as he was more generally
called. having earned the sobriquet
from the fact that he was never seen
without dog at his heels.
This remarkable character lived
about two and half centuries ago and
was one of the best known figures in
Surrey. He was originally silver
smith in the city of London and, pros
pering in business, acquired estates in
different parts of England
Developing eccentricities as he grew
old. he adopted the life of beggar.
His wanderings were confined almost
entirely to Surrey, and he Is said to
have begged his way through every
town and village in the county. At his
death in 1851 he left all his wealth to
the market towns and parishes Of Sur
rey, and the endowment enabled each
town to spend $3.50 and each village
about $50 on the purchase Of clothing
for it's poor.
Mitcham, however. was excluded
from his benefactions. Smiths explana-
ton being that on one occasion the in
habitants of Mitcham whipped him
through the village as a common va
grant.-London Chronicle.

BUSINESS AFFAIRS
ARE SATISFACTORY
Presidential Year Bogy Has
Had No Effect.-Busi-
ness Men Are Happy.

At the present time, it is the gen.
eral opinion among Richmond bust
ness men who are the head of manu-
featuring industries and other lines
of business that the country is now SO
largely increasing the volume of it's
business activities that there will be
continuance of prosperity enjoyed
throughout all this year That this will
continue into next year and through
several succeeding years is not doubt
ed by them. Richmond men are Opti-
mistic. At some of the local manufac-
turing concerns orders as far in adj
vance as the spring of 1913 have been
secured, and they are larger than in
previous years.
Politics is not playing a very import
ant part in the business world, local
business men aver.
A reduction in the cost of supplies
warrant liberal buying by jobbers and
retailers in practically all lines.
Manager Lewis of the Richmond I'm
derwear factory has just returned from
an extensive trop through the middle
and western states. Mr.. Lewis stated
that orders secured were much larger
than in any previous year. THE COM
pany is enjoying the biggest business
in it's history" said Mr.. Lewis, land
for this reason we are taking on help
every day. At present we have about
120 girls employed and expect to in
crease the number to 200 before next
spring"
Jones Hardware company is en-
joying the biggest business in it's his
tory" stated Mr.. Jones this morning.
Politics will not effect the hardware
business, according to Mr.. Jones.
Ben Hill, who has just returned
from a trip through the West for the
F. & n. Lawnmower company, states
that politics has not and will not ef-
! feet the business conditions of the
country. The conditions are the best
they have been for years, and with the
harvest which is expected, the people
are extremely hopeful" said Mr.. Hill.
| Mr.. Lontz who is president of the F.
& n. stated that there is a great in
crease in orders for next year, and that
up to the present time there has been
no reference to the presidential cam
paign. Business men are tending to
| business and not politics." he said.

stated that conditions were good and
that the company was receiving orders

FARM PUZZLES ARE SOLVED
BY INDUSTRIAL ASSOCIATION
Louis F. Boyle Is Moving
Spirit in Great Work for
the Commonwealth.

" He organization Of the Inter
mountain Industrial association
aud its work during tho past
two years has attracted not only
the attention Of local people. but those
of other states as well. Many favor
ablo comments have been made in re-
gard 70 it, One of our common savings
is that when the farmers prosper all
forms OF industry share in tho created
wealth. Ia other words, the farmers
welfare IS the fundamental basis Of ma
tional wealth.
II was upon this fact that Louis H.
Bowie, 3. :. a., obtained the financial
assistance Of a number OF largo insti-
tutions and carried op bis work OF max
ing personal visits TO farms in various
parts of tho state, searching out the
problems that confronted the owners
and helping thcm TO solve the diff
cultics.
Ono OF Boyle classmates at Cornell
visited him hero and WAS so much
taken up with the work that even
though he had good position with
the government vet ne resigned and is
now doing the samc kind of work 10
one of the counties OF tho state of
New York.
In assisting the dairy farmers it
was the policy of the association TO
lay especial emphasis upon the silo and
eusilage corr for dairy animals. Boyle
went TO Morgan. whore at that time
was to be found The only silo in the
state, obtained all the data possible
in regard TO method Of building, ca
pacity, kind Of material used for en-
silagc. now grown, the methods OF
harvesting and cutting, the kind Of
stock fed. the method of feeding and
results obtained.
Pictures were also taken from which
lantern slides were made. Then illus
tratcd lectures were given upon the
subject and in this way the silos were
forcibly brought TO the attention Of the
people as a method OF providing a good,
cheap. succulcnt food for cattle during
the fall, winter and early spring
months The farmers listened atten-
lively, for the alfalfa wecyil had made
serious inroads upon their former sup
ply of hay and something had TO be
done.
In tho summer OF 1911 A. C. Boyle,
Sr, the farther Of Louis r., erected
wooden silo on the farm Of Arthur
V. Miller Of Murray. and as far as
known this is the first successful
wooden silo in the state Of Utah

Points Out Danger.

IN speaking OF this matter, however
Boyle states that there is danger OF the
tiling being oycrdonc. just as the cream
cry men did with the moisture and salt
In butter a few years ago. Already one
man has found that for every 800 pounds
OF salt no uses, he has three more tons
OF hay To sell The past summer one
farmer put 1900 pounds OF salt into one
stack OF hay. Perhaps before many years
