ShEdward Carson nionist
Leader, to Inspect Corps
Already Ulster Army Has lOO,-
600 Enlisted 10 Back Provisional
Government in Event Of Home Rule
For ireland Becoming Law.

Belfast, Ire, Sept. 16.-Sir Edward
Carson, the leader of the Irish Union
lists, landed in Ireland. today. with the
object of inspecting the volunteer army
which is being raised in the province of
Ulster to support the provisional gov
eminent, which, it is said. is to be
brought into existence in the event of
the home rule for Ireland becoming
law
The Ulster army is said to he thor
oaghiy organized and already TO have
attained a strength of about 100, 600
men, which number is expected by its
leaders to be nearly doubled when re-
erniting has been completed.
The Irish Cnionist leader intends to
pass week in Ulster in company with
his lieutenants, with whom he will visit
the various corps which have been
formed by drilled men of the Unionist
clubs and Orange lodges.
The climax of Sir Edwards visit is
awaited. on Saturday next. when he
has arranged TO inspect the Belfast
Unionist corps.
In the course of the week several pri
yate meetings of the Ulster Unionist
Council viii take place to complete
the arrangements for the provisional
government which ii is the purpose
eventually tn establish. There seems to
be little hope of a general conference
between the various parties on the
question of home rule. although the
possibility Of the holding of an open
conference CT the subject of Irish gov
eminent as whole is still canvassea.

$500, 600 Fire at
New Rochelle, N. Y.

New Rochelle. y. Y. Sept, 16.-Fire
that destroyed the big department
store at the Howard r. Ware Corpora
ton. was eXtnguished, early today,
after it had caused loss of about
$500. 600. The burned area covered an
entire block on Main street between
Center avenue and Bank street, prac-
tieally the same site that was burned
over by the great fire Of 20 years ago.
Several small buildings in the same
block, occupied by stores and tene-
ments. also were destroyed. No lives
were lost. An early report that two
employees Of the department store
were missing proved unfounded.

raise questions whether this New
York process under which Thaw was
held as an insane person should be-
come a part of the proceedings at is
sue, whether the process under which
he is held here is due process. The
novelty of the situation as everybody
must see, results from the fact that
he was held in an institution in New
York as an insane person and the Of
fence or crime upon which ii is sought
to have him extradited consists, ac-
cording to their own account of it, his
escape from that institution. Now
whether the state of New York, hold
ing a person as an insane person is
in a position to set up his escape as
a crime, within the meaning of the
federal Constitution and of the state
authorities is a question. If you have

WESTERN STATES AND
FARM LABOR PROBLEM

That the solution of the Farm
labor problem in the Western
states is going to be in the heal
thy subdivision of the land, not
the one-acre men nor the six-acre
men, but the -to-forty to one
hundred-acre men, who do not
have to reply on the nomadic
tribes of labors to cultivate and
harvest their crops, is the advice
of Barton w. Currie, writing in
the COUNTRY GENTLEMAN
on California and the Japanes.
The ten-to-forty acre subdivi-
sion will also mean success of the
irrigation projects instituted by
the Reclamation Service. Ten to
forty acre cultivated and cropped
by the owner and his family will
make community Of progress
and prosperity.
A splendid ten acre crop has
appeared in Arizona where
Egyptian long staple cotton is
grown to perfection. There is no
other part of the country where
Egyptian cotton can be grown
but it has attained perfection in
the Salt River valley on the lands
under Roosevelt Dam. The yeild
will average a bale and quarter
TO the acre or s, 250 pounds of lint
cotton to the acre. in 1912 the
cotton sold for % to 2314 cents
per pound in the Eastern mar
kets netting the farmer 21 to2 "A

ing early in September. Aou -

or some other crop with room for

Opportunities to secure twen-
ty acre farms are none to fire.
quent, and the offer to rent twen-
ty acres under irrigation project
now being made by land owners
in Arizona should attract many
people who are looking for
chance to establish a home.
AS solution of the farm labor
problem the ten-to-forty acre
farm will be important, but the
ten-to. forty acre farm owner
must do his own work and do it
with profit. The opportunity that
Egyptian cotton offers to spread
the years work over number of
months and give cash revenue
for big share Of the crop is one
that might we'll be considered by
farmers all over the country.
