London, Oct. 3.-The aristocratic ca nine population of Mayfair and Bel gravia is to have a club of it's own. paAatiaI home in Park Lane has been secured for the purpose and it is expected to have Caesar, the late King Edwards favorite terrier, as the star performer at the opening ceremonies next month. The organization is to be known as the United Counties Club and the charter members are mostly persons of title. There will be spe cia1 accommodations and comforts for dogs in the basement where they may enjoy tEenselves without interfering with the social pursuits Of their own CTS upstairs. The animals are to have maids to wait upon them and their own medical adviser

London, Oct 3.-Iondon doesn't like Futurist music any better than it does Futur1St art. When sir Henry Wood, England's most popular orchestra. con- ductor, introduced some of the new freak compositions of Arnold Schoen- berg at Queens Hall the big audience laughed. A few sympathetic souls started to applaud but their feeble eff forts were drowned in misses. The al- legged music, as described in the pro- gram, t-a1bounds in discords and chro-
 natic scales, while naturalS and flats and naturaIs and s11arps clash in all directions.

 Stockholm, Oct. .3-TEne Laplanders are peeved over the inquisitive befla.- vior of American and other tourists wfno visit their country. According 1y, a notice, in several languages has been posted in the districts most ire quented by travellers, as follows:
 Dear Tourists: s
 What would you say if an unknown individual without asking your per mission or even knocking at your doo1', pushed his way into your home, made himself comfortable on your sofa, peer ed at everything, rummaged every where, laughed at your domestic ar engagements, asked how much money you have, wished to interest himself in your love affairs, and seized hold of your children to photograph them?
 *sWhat would you do with such an unnannerly intruder?
 '|But there are certain tourists who treat the Laplanders in this fashion They enter their tents without em- barrassment~ handle or point at every thing ridicu1e everything and ask the Laplanders how many reindeer they hav=whfclh is the same asking other people for details of their in comes.
 e<eThe Laplanders are human beings and not mena gerie animals.

 Brussels, October 3.-There is great public indigna tion througout Belgium over revelations in the case of the Madame van Boren, who was kidnap ped recently at Ostend and railroad ed to an insane asylum near this city. She had fallen in love with her coach man, and this was atteSted proof of her Iunacy- Although closely watched, she succeeded in giving the press her own version. She describes herself as. a victim of the greed of relatives who wish to get held of her property.

Back to the Farm,

While the movement from the
country to the city, which has been
going on for twenty years or. more,
has not been stopped and is still one
of the main problems in this country,
there are here and there some evil
dences which impress one with the
belief that, at last, such movement is
really being checked to some extent,
and that new and highly encourage
ing interest in agriculture and in
rural life has been created during re-
cent years. The future of the farm
is now generally considered one of
the most important subjects for dis
cussion in this country. There is not
a state in which special and success
full efforts are not being made to in
crease interest and improve conditions
of those inclined toward rural pur-
suits, says the Dallas News.
Everywhere plantations and pas
lures are being reduced in area, and
lands are being more carefully Guilt
waited. For example in Mississippi,
Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina,
North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky
and Virginia since 1860 the area of
improved farm lands had increased
from 1876 per cent to 1914 per cent of
the farm lands. The number of farms
has increased nightly and the aver
age size of the farm has, of course.
decreased in proportion. The average
farm in 1880 was 321 acres, in 1910,
"a acres. In 1880 there were fewer
than $4,000 farms under 10 acres in
size, and in 1910 there were $4,000
and farms from 10 to 20 acres now
number more than 245,O0O, having
Increased from fewer than 100000.
In 1880 there were 245,0O0 farms
between 20 and SO acres in extent,
in 1910 there were 656,O00. Farms
from so to 100 acres nearly doubled
in number in the last thirty years.
The number of farm owners in this
country has grown since 1880 from
$4,000 to $4,000, and increase of
43 per cent. There were, however,
only 100000 tenants in 1880 and
now there are $4,000

SUFFRAGE FIGHT
STILL IN THE AIR
Status of Uninitialed Ballots Is
Very important

Information from the counties where
the recount on the woman suffrage
amendment has been I'm progress indi-
Gates that the situation is about as
much up in the air. as at any time
since election and IL is almost certain
that IL will finally have to be passed
ON, if not the fate of the amendment
actually decided. in the courts.
The surprising feature about the re-
count is the failure of the review of the
vote in Wayne county To bring about
any advantage for the woman suffra-
gists. Instead of resulting in gain
for the amendment. it has brought
about a loss for IL of over 1000 votes
In every ward recounted the review of
the ballots has resulted in increasing
the apparent majority against amend
ment.
This condition would put the ques-
ton of the status of the amendment
Beyond debate If IT was not for the
question that has arisen relative to the
legality Of counting ballots that are
not initiated 1t is on this point that
she dispute is likely to find it's way to
the courts. IL is now reported that the
attorney generals department will Join
with the woman suffrage leaders in
Gcttng Il ruling from the supreme
judges.
II is claimed that there are enough
uninitialed ballots involved i'm Wayne,
Kent and Saginaw counties. where the
votes are now being recountcd, To mean
the success of the amendment. If the
courts held that all ballots have To he
initiated. This claim however. is com
batted by nti-sulfragist leaders who
have been following the recent recount
closely.
Tho courts have ruled a number az
times that the initiating of the ballots
is mandatory requirement. of the cleo
ton law rs regards any ballot ny
which ii is proposed To elect candidates
for office and this Interpretation OF the
law is now generally accepted. Whether
a ballot carrying a constitutional am
cndment is subject To the same re-
auirement is, however a point that has
never been definitely passed on.
Assistant Attorney General Wacr has
given IN opinion that the statute is not
