Is presented which does not bid
fair for the healthy growth of ag-
ricultural life. This is the con-
vealed to the farmers and the mer-
chants OF Stevens county, Mimi.
one of the older wheat counties on
the edge of the Red River valley.
For forty years these farmers
have been hauling tn products of

crops has been sold and wild mus

have become formidable enemies of

A county having a rich black

ficieht length to mature a crop OF
sound corn should be wealthy and
prosperous. Knowing these facts
the farmers and merchants at a
general meeting In February. 1912.
attempted to solve the problem. The
meeting resulted in the organization
OF the Stevens County Farm Bureau
and everyone thought that a great
movement had been started for the
uplift OF the county. But soon it
was discovered that without some
one constantly in the field acting
as an organizer and promoter the
visions of success would soon fade
away. And 20 the idea Of a
county agriculturist was launched
and subscription list started.
With local funds and outside as
Instance an advisor was hired on a
twO-year contract. Next. some live
committees we're appointed to work
with the agricultural agent.
The committee on more cows
started to raise a guarantee fund
to bring in a carload of pure bred
and high grade Holsteins. The bus
mess men were skeptical, but sign
ed the guarantee. AS result in
June OF last year the first carload
of Holstein cattle that ever en-
tered Stevens county was sold at
auction. The farmers bought them
at such prpices that there was

cattle were brought in and since
that time two more carloads c.
Holsteins have entered the county.

Stevens county has a large num-
ber of settlers coming in from Ne
braska and Iowa who are natural

1t was soon found that a beef
committee was a necessity. The
guarantee is now signed for a
carload of Shorthorn bulls and the
enthusiasm over the enterprise
makes one wonder II 1t will not
soon result in sevearl carloads. Our
first cooperative creamery has
t0pened its doors and after six
months of business bids fair to
be the incentive of others. The

Less wheat and other smai.
grains and more corn and alfalfa
were the chief planks in the plat
form of the farm crops committee.
Newspaper articles and publicity
measures urging the testing of corn
were found to be too slow in get
ting results. The banker on the
committee said, 1--WE must double
our yield and acreage of corn this
year" The farmer on the committee
hit upon a scheme and the farm
ers of the county saw 1t, but be-
fore it was successfully completed
it required the cooperation of the
whole county. Just there lies the
secret of success of the farm bu-
reau.
The farm crops committee start
ed to test twenty ears of corn from
each farm in the county. The
county agent took twenty boys OF
the local agricultural school and
trained them into expert corn
testers. Then with the county
superintendent of schools he in
duced every county school teacher
to have her pupils bring to the
schoolhouse twenty ears OF corn
from each farm In the district.
When this was done the boy corn

CHINA WAR NEAR
OUTLAW STAGE
DR.. Sun Still in Shanghai,
but Other Leaders Have
Fled

PEKING, China, Aug with the
fall Of the forts at the mouth OF the
Yangtse river, which is believed here
TO be imminent, the Yangtse would be
cleared of rebels, and it is thought the
rebellion then would resolve itself into
provincial outlawry, which soon could
be controlled
Reports received here from Shanghai
say that DIR. Sun Yet Sen. former pro-
visional president, still is there, but
that General Cheng Chi-Men and Gen.
eral Huan Sing, two other leaders in
the revolt. have fled.
Bankers and members of the diplo-
matte corps in Peking are OF the BELIEF
that Provisional President Yuan's most
difficult task is the organization OF
system of taxation throughout the re-
public.
The revolutionary forces in the south
are steadily being subdued by the north
ern troops. The rebel leaders disappear
whenever the revolutionary centers are
menaced by the government troops.
Yuan's adherents expressed much Ella
tion today over the successes gained by
the federal armies. They advocate the
introduction of a dictatorial form OF
government. 1t is said they hope for the
ultimate establishment of new " uan
dynasty" under which they would share
in the spuils of office.
They contend that any compromise at
the present time would place China In a
chronic condition of revolution, which.
they argue, would be most dangerous
owing to the territorial aspirations of
Russia and Japan

'R[TcA HETCHY IS

Caucus of Democrats Let's
Down Bars for Passage of

tspecia Dispatch to The csp

Especial Dispatch to The Cam
WASHINGTON, July 31.-When the
house democratic caucus today voted
unanimously to allow the Hetch
Hetchy water right bill to be consid
cred at this session another forward
step in the progress of that measure
was taken.
There were several squalls in the
caucus over the bill, however, and it
appeared at one time as if the mem
bers would not vote favorably. Rep
resentatfve Burnett of Alabama made
repeated objections because he had
been notified by the leaders that sew
eraT pet measures of his own could
not be considered.
Representatives Underwood, Raker,
Chairman Ferris of the house public
lands committee Chairman Palmer of
the caucus and Representative Hay
den, with other democrats, worked on
Burnett and finally persuaded him to
withdraw his objection.
The bill as finally amended will now
go to the house. 1t is probable Rep
resentative Raker will introduce the
it will be the last report of the house
public lands committee.
Members tonight expressed the opin
ION that the measure will pass the
house without much delay and also
that favorable action may be expected
by the senate at this session.
Democrats who supported Chairman
Clark OF the appropriations committee
in his fight for public buildings ap-
propriations declared congress had au
thorized the projects in a previous bill
and should be willing now to appropri-
ate money for the beginning of these
authorized buildings.
Representative Fitzgerald fought the
resolution on the ground that the eau
Gus should not take appropriation mat
ters away from the appropriations COM
mittee. De declared that if it were
done in the one case, it might later be
done with many other bills.
The caucus was marked by some
strong political discussion. including a
demand upon the administration to re-
place office holding republicans with
competent democrats.
Representative Cu1lop of Indiana, re-
ferring to the fact that republican
now holds the position of supervising
architect of the treasury department, In
charge of all public building work, de-
clared it was time democrats were put
on guard over all public expenditures.

INVITES FAIR BOARD TO
SUE FOR SUBSCRIPTION
Rudolph Spreckels Says He
Welcomes Move to En-
tighten Public on Ex-
position Affairs

Rudolph Spreckels said yesterday he
Panama Pacific. international exposi-
tion is mismanaging the affairs of the
exposition.
The board is taking as a matter of
private business the expenditure OF
vast sums held as a public trust. in the
disposal of which strict accounting
should be made to the public" said Mr..
Spreckels.
''The board Of directors is also guilty
of giving one OF its members a con-
cession for which there was consider
able competition and which is a money
making plan There are rumors of
several other similar cases"
At his office Mr.. Spreckels amplified
the story published In The Call Wednes-
day that he had refused to make fur
ther payment on his subscription.
THE granting of concession
through the influence of a member of
the board of directors is enough to
warrant my action" Mr.. Spreckels said.
The subscription form which Mr..
SpreckeIs signed provided that the pay
ments should be due only in the event
the company succeed in obtaining fed
eral aid, and was made before the ex-
position city was selected.
The fact that the federal appropria-
ton was not obtained destroys the con-
tract according to Mr.. Spreckels.
Asked If he had heard whether the
exposition company contemplated a
suit for the balance of the subscription,
Mr.. Spreckels said:
Il told the attorney for the expo
sition company several months ago
would be glad to have them sue me.
l. sAt- xt,~

JUDGE LECTURES
SELFISH HUSBAND
Clerk Who Enjoyed Himself
While Wife Worked Is
Roundly Scored

Abolition Of the double standard
for men in matrimony was vehemently
indorsed yesterday in the superior court
by Judge Buck of San Mateo, sitting
In department 4, when he refused an
interlecutery decree OF divorce to Julia
A. Heffernan from Joseph A. Heffernan,
a clerk for the Pacific Gas and Electric
company, and advised the young couple
to forget and forgive for the sake of
their two children.
Heffernan was given a stiff aflmoni-
ton by the court to realize that his
wife had equal claims to domestic free
dom as he had, and that neglect of her
and their children could not be coun-
tenanced by the law
Mrs Heffernan and the children live
al 1850 Pine street while Heffernan is
staying with his mother at 725 Clayton
street
You can not leave your wife at home
like horse in stable; she is not a
horse, but wife," declared the court,
after hearing the testimony of both
parties. Moreover, you can not go
around with the boys any more be-
cause you are a married man..
You have admitted" continued the
the court, that you took girls to
dances. Then you should have lived
In the days of the pillory. Married
men who do that should be publicly
pillorfed; in your case, think you
should be spanked Your wife is a
good woman and ! believe that you
are a good man, but the fault lies in
your training.
You can not go alone to nickel
odeons and leave your wife at home.
You can not ignore her request to take
her to Il better class theater than the
and 10 cent show. I never saw any
good In these low class nickeIodeons
or anything elevating about 5 or 10
cent show. You can not go to ball
games on your Saturday afternoon off
and leave your wife at home with the
children-one 2 years old and the other
months-and refuse to take her to
entertainments. You can't leave her
'on the job at home "a hours day
the year round. Has it never occurred
to you that you should take care of
the children some of the time. That
poor woman sat home there all the
time with those two children while you
We're out running around with the boys.
You've never looked upon her as your
partner You never thought that she
had right to reply to your swearing
at her. You should apologize to her.
Il shall not grant divorce at this
time because of the two children. This
is Gods free country, she is free and
has right to go out and enjoy free
dom occasionally the same as YOU
In the wife's complaint, presented by
Attorney Daniel O'Brien, Mrs. Heffer-
nan stated that she married on July
%. 1909. She charged her husband
with having been intoxicated occasion
ally and alleged that on the day the
last child was born Heffernan went to
