Prof. W. R. Lanxon Also Gave Good Talk His Subject Being
Value Of Cow and Pouhy IN Bad Years

whose subject was Dairy Progress In
North Dakota. In bringing out some
of his main points, Commissioners Flint
said
"If public sentiment could have
found immediate material expression,
our progress I'm dairying, during the
past three years. would have been lit
tie short OF astonishing in the ag-
gregate of accomplishments. This
change is the most potent develop
ment to record.
Fortunately it is not practicable to
make material changes with every
change in sentiment. Dairying re-
quires development
There are evidences Of different att
titude now through the press
publicity and the interest in meetings.
THE material evidences are In the
increase in livestock and the number
of cows kept for dairying. The cows
are the real foundation-a point
heretofore overlooked by some
individuals and committees.
During Is03-04-05 the cattle IN
creased from 594,42t to 6s4,940-due
TO the increased population and
1910 there was a marked decrease,
with but a slight variation, of from
664,940 to 476,337--what will no doubt
be the low ebb.

Mrs. King, were expected to be con-
cluded by noon, to be followed by
Judge j. Il, Parks charge to the jury.

not long deliberate over a verdict.

She declared that Wilburn's stronger
will completely mastered her; that he
alone planned and executed the muir
DER and that she was powerless TO
stop him. She pointed out that the
tragedy had not only cost her ner
husband, but that 1t had wrecked her
life, destroyed her home, turned her
children. brothers and sisters against
her, and disgraced her family name,
Her recital was in keeping with state

Richmond Pearson Hobson to-day
said:
Il construe this to mean that we
are going into Mexico, but that we
will come out when order has been
restored.
1T is inconceivabe that the Pres

emergency that the United States
would not under any conditions inter-

sure he did not so intend. l believe
that his words were intended to as
sure the friends of constitutional gov

States found it necessary to send
troops to restore order in that coun-
try that the troops would not re-
main to occupy Mexican territory, but
would be withdrawn when peace was
restored"
John Temple Graves said:
Read in connection with the Pres

and the Latin American countries
must unite to insist upon constitu-

Fair Inez, in Peril
Of Disbarment, to
Become Naturalized

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-"If am dis
barred because l have married a for
eigner why it will be the easiest thing
in the world for me to turn around
and become naturalized.'
This is the reply to-day of Mrs.
Eugene Boissevain, the former Inez
Milholland, to the report that she
might be disbarred from practicing
law because of her marriage to Mr..
Boissevain, a wealthy Dutchman of
Amsterdam. Mrs. Boissevain was
admitted to the bar early this year
and opened an office on Broadway.
A United States statute declares
emphatically that person practicing
law in this country must be a citizen.
An international law is that when a
woman marries foreigner she au-
tomatically becomes a citizen of her
husbands country.
