GENERAL HUERTA IS looked
UPON As AN UNUSUAL TYPE
Is Member Of Higher Class,
Wealthy Landholder
and Exporter.

Indignantly naughty:
Il am not Orozco," he said, with a
fine show of contempt for the man who
had revolted against Madero. Il vouch
for the loyalty OF the army. We will
hold celebrat ton in Juarez on the ma.
donai holiday, but It will be merely one
Of patriotism and nothing more. am
a soldier and nothing more"
The news Of Huerta's ascendency
aroused the greatest interest among
New Workers. who have Mexican inter.
ests and who have recently returned to
this city from tho vicinity Of the
trouble. Edwin NJ. Macpherson. who
Is directing large engineering schemes
in Mexico. received the news at the
Hotel Vanderbilt.
General Huerta is one Of the higher
class Mexicans. man Of the De Ia
Barra type" he said. HE il man of
large means, member Of the Mexican
gentry. He has large ranch lands and
many cattle. He does very consid-
cradle export business to the United
States. shipping to the Swift and Ar
mour people. So Americans know him.
and know him very favorably. Al.
most all foreigners who are guarding
their investments in Mexico would feel
a considerable degree of confidence in
General Huerta and would welcome
bis control of affairs"
Story Of His Life.
victoriano Huerta was born in the
state Of chihuahua some 6fty-six years
ago and as a lad Of seventeen went to
Mexico City and entered the military
school at Chapultepec. immediately
after his graduation from that institu.
ton he entered the active service and
by successive promotions reached the
generalship he held at the time of the
Mader1st uprising against Diaz. Huer-
tn was called into consultation by the
elder Diaz after the capture Of Juares
and counseled against resignation. He
wanted 5000 men and. With that force.
promised to retake the city. but the
opportunity was not granted to MIN.
and. with the resignation OF his chief.
he was recalled to Mexico City. He
headed the escort that attended the ex.
lied Diaz as far as Vera Cruz. and It
was Diaz's parting injunction that Hu.
erta should support the administration.
A rumor Of break in the outwardly
friendly relations between Madero and
Huerta came only few days ago.
when one of Madero's brothers openly
criticised Huerta's handling OF the fed.
eraI forces against the rebel Orozco.
Men who knew Huerta guessed how
furious that would make him and sus-
pected that It caused later events.

X I1cToR1ANo HUERTA. who 70.
" Gently won the provisional

erly turning upon Madero and
making him prisoner, has always ap-
peared to the American onlookers in
the Mexican situation AZ rather IN
usual type Of Mexican general. Many
an American, sticking close to his in
vestments in that troubled region. has
felt q distinct disinclination to talk
Mexican politics with the leading ma
tives. because 1t would be impossible
to guess ut the real sympathies Of the
leader addressed. But Huerta through
out the recent uprisings had always
been considered shining example OF
loyalty to the administration. He was
one Of the men who stuck to Diaz to
the bitter end. not SO much because
he was devoted to the president but
because he was federal general, an
officer Of the government. and SO long
Just 20 long victorian0 auerta fought
for Diaz. Tho moment that D!ss re
signed and De Ia Barra became pro-
visional president Of Mexico Huerta
began to tight for De la Barra.
When Madero was elected president
Of the republic Huerta became fight
er for Madero. although he had been
one of the stubbornest fighters against
him so long as Madero was rebel.
Huerta has always been considered
orthodox, and because Of his very con-
siderable ability a. a general he be-
came Madero's right hand man in mil
ltary matters.

Stark county is certainly in the
golden circle of, the wheat and flax
growing area. of North Dakota. The
acreage for 1912 was a mighty in
creas over that of recent years. New
er in the states history was there such
evidence of prosperity as to crop yield
as that extending over this whole. re-
gion. 1t is not only rich in cereal
crops but, in vast beds Of nonmetallic
minerals, Ignite coal and clay deposits.
The rainfall is so evenly distributed as
to provide for every contingency for
maturing plant life. The soil is a fer
tile black and brown loam, with a clay
subsoil that is rich in phosphorus,
adapting it for growing all varieties
of wheat, oats, barley, flax, rye corn,
millet, alfalfa. speltz, small fruits and
root crops, while dairying and stock
raising are coming into their own
gradually, taking rank with older
states. A great transition has taken
place since the close of the last cen
fury. Lands that sold for 81 an acre

transformed into the premium bread

The threshing returns of 1912 show
ed wheat yielding twenty to twenty

bushels, and oats fifty. to -seventy-fiv
bushels to the acre, and it is estimated
that there were 100000 bushels of
wheat marketed at the different towns

growth Of the straw testifies to the
richness of the land. The abundance
of the mineral elements in it is largely
responsible for the marvellous produc-
tiVenesS of the soil.
The soil is equally we'll adapted to
the. growth of beans and potatoes.
Beans have not been much tried, but
why should not the growth of beans
engage the attention of many farmers?
The crop will grow almost any season
on these lands. At harvest time the
weather is usually dry.
The productiveness Of the soil in
western North Dakota is seen in the
threshing returns Of last veal Yields
Of wheat run as high as thirty-fve to
forty bushels per acre though perhaps
it is but just to state that from TWEEN
ty to twenty-five bushels is about the
average for the past year. Oats have
yielded from fifty bushels to, in a few
cases as high as. 100 bushels per acre,

In the valleys and on the more mod
crate slopes corn, millet, oats, coWpeas
and clover can be grown, not primarily
with the idea Of selling grain, but &c
furnish feed for the animals grazed
upon the rougher lands. A dairy farm
is now made a successful, profitable
and sure industry.
Along with dairying proper the rails
ing of hogs and poultry, as we'll as
horses and beef animals, has been
practiced. 1t has been truly said OF
certain types of settlers from foreign
lands that they first get a few cows,
pigs and chickens, and with these it is
impossible to starve them out no mat
ter what kind of seasons may come. A
large part of the support Of a family
may be derived from the income from
poultry and pigs. Pigs, poultry anc

Meanin of Half Mast.

London Tit-Bits: Perhaps you have
noticed that whenever a prominent
person dies, especially if he is con-
nected with the government, the flags
on public buildings are hoisted only
part Of the way up. This is called
half mast. Did you ever stop to
think what connection there could be
between a flag that was not properly
hoisted INC the death Of a great man?
Ever since flags were used in war it
has been the custom to have the flag
Of the superior or ~conquering nation
above that of the inferior or ~Vanquish-
ed. When an army found itself hope
lessly beaten it hauled it's flag down
far enough for the flag of the victors
to be placed above 1t on the same pole,
This was A token, not only of submis-
sion, but of respect.
In those days, when a famous SOL
der died, flags were lowered out Of
respect to his memory. The custom
long ago passed from purely military
usae to public life of all kinds, the flag
flying at half mast being a sign tina
the dead man was worthy of universal
respect. The space left above it is for
the flag of the great conqueror Of all
the anel Of death.

Corn Growing.


The fact is not generally known
that cold weather in a northern eli
mate does not injure seed corn in the
ground as does cold weather in a mild
er climate. Nevertheless, it is true.
Nor does freezing down, injure future
growth as it would in a milder climate.
The small varieties have chiefly been
grown in the past. but there is no rea
son why larger varieties may not be
grown for seed n for fodder. 1t is
fodder that is wanted more than any
thing else for stock. Grain can be
furnished by barley, speltz, oats and
rye, grown alone or in certain combi-
nations. The character Of the corr
fodder is superb. 1t is bright, it is not
course, and it is leafy, and the yield of
we'll titled corn is from three to four
tons Of cured fodder per acre.
- Alfalfa Production.
The other great fodder crop that will
be grown is alfalfa. 1t has been tried
with great success, especially at the
Dickinson Experimental station. Go
out onto the benches and away from
the town and dig down into the soil
you will find a sandy loan strongly
i~mpregnated with clay. There is no
difficulty in digging downward with
the spade. This soil, which is repre-
sentative of mdch of the soil has been
tried by many farmers and is produc-
ing splendid alfalfa. AS soon as the
growth of this plant becomes general
so that it will supplement the fodder
corn, this country will become noted
for dairying of the most successful
kind.
Coal and Clay.
Within the borders Of Stark county
several billion tons of coal could be
mined without the aid of expensive
machinery, or the sinking of expen-
sive shafts. One section alone, within
Sight Of the county seat of Stark coun-
ty contains between $1,000, 900 and 40
