Caring for Wild Ducks

From the New York Tribune
The feeding by game protectors of Wild
ducks which are wintering in New York
state will result in the saving of thou
sands of birds this season. according to
reports received by the conservation COM
mission. Each season since the enact
ment of the New. York law against win
ter and spring shooting of wild fowl, the
number of ducks which have not gone
further south has increased, and grad
ually increasing number of wild fowl has
remained in the spring to nest within
the boundaries of New York state.
game protector; writing from Sodus
Point, Lake Ontario. makes very inter-
esting report on the wild ducks which he
has been caring for during the period
when there is a scarcity of food, owing
to ice locked waters. He goes on TO say
"A number of pictures of ducks winter

The warriors struggle with socialism
is carried on without cease. Attempts
are made to prevent socialists. holding
meetings. As Germany is an orderly
land, this cannot be done by force. A
favorite way is to organize boycott for
the purpose of preventing the letting of
meeting halls to the socialists The war
riors resolutely refuse to eat, drink beer
or hold their meetings in any restaurant
which admits socialists. The result is
that restam ant proprietors have them
selves to he enlpha aticallys. either war
riors or socialists. In some small Saxon
towns the warriors by good generalship
lately got possession of all the halls The
socialists thereupon secretly bought up a
hall, and when the warriors were bold

arrived armed with documents and the
sheriff and threw the warriors out

ized to issue $100. 900. 900 worth of bonds
for the Improvement and progress of
agriculture. Much of this will be let
out TO the native farmers at reasonable
rates and on long time. Some of it
will probably be used for the purchase
of lands, and great deal will go into
irrigation enterprises and into buying
tools and live stock.
Money in Farming
There is no doubt but that there will
be eventually great deal of money
made in Mexican farming, and that, not
only through selling to Mexico. but in
exporting farm products to the United
States and elsewhere. This should be
one of the best cornraising countries
of the world. Nevertheless. the govern
ment report for last year shows that
some 100000 pesos were sent abroad
for corn alone, and very large amounts
for cotton and other crops which can
be raised here l am told that the
prices of corn wheat and beans, which
are the staple foods. of the country
have become about double those of the
United States and that the land, II
properly cultivated. will yield Just as
much as our land per acre In many
places two crops can be raised in
year. but the farming is so rudely done
that the total output. Is rule, is much
smaller than ours. see plows drawn

Fighting the Kaiser's Battles

HERLIN, April 5.--(Sperial.) lone mil
lion, five hundred thousand of
~ Prussia's organized warriors are
preparing for a giant battle with the
Kaisers goes. The warriors are the
members of the great "keiegervereine,
or warriors societies. the Kaser's
foes are the social democrats, and
the battlefield will be the general
election for the Prussan diet, which is
now nearly due. The struggle between
the monarchical, religious and we'll or
ganized warriors and the republican. anti
eligious, also well organized socialists,
is dratmtic one. 1t has gone on in a
simmering way for two generations; it Is
only on the eve of general eectin that
il rises to a boil.
In all Germany the warriors societies
number nearly 10000. and they have 2,-
$4,000 members All members are old
soldiers. The first warriors unions we're
started, after the Napoleonic wars, TO
preserve the memories and care for the
graves OF old soldiers; and at first only
men who had seen actice service We're
allowed 10 join This restriction ceased,
because in the long peace period which
followed 1915 the war veterans died off
Today every German who has worn the
Kaiser's uniform as soldier or sailor, with
the exception of the social democrats may
Join a warriors society.
Germany's warriors societies are the
most powerful organizations Europe
hoasts. Prussia has 17,000 of them, and
every other state has its own down to
Bremen which has 35. IN each state the
societies are affiliated under a central
union. and all these state unions are uni
led in the Imperial Kyffhaeuser Bund.
which concentrates the $1,000 societies
and the 100000 warriors of the whole en-
plre. Elm Armee in Buergerrock' Ian
army in civilian clothes-is the title which
Kaiser Wilhelm gives TO the Bund.
Nominally the purpose of the warriors
societies is to foster military and inn
perial feeling, and to care for the dead.
In these lines much is done. and the
Kyffhaeuser Bund built, at a cost of
s250.0Oo the magnificent monument to
Kaiser WILHELM / on the I<yffhaeuser
hills in Thuringia. The warriors have
another and more important role 1t is
to fight socialism. and to foster the con-
servative and militarist ideal of the
state. Hence every general election leads
to a clash between warriors and social
lists. The socialists can bring into the
field 100000 votes, which is nearly dou-
registered socialists in the party organ
ization number only about 1o00,000, so as
an organization the warriors are far
stronger.

the grain, and the corn is shelled with
the hands or by rubbing the ears over
rough stone. A common means of
farm transport is by OK carts with
wooden wheels, each of which weighs
100 pounds or more, and everything is
done in the most extravagant way.
Wages are low. Farm hands receive
90 80 and 40 cents a day. and for this
they labor from daylight to dark. A
great deal of the work is done by the
piece, and not a little is on the share,
half the wages being paid In money and
half In crops.

fatten the beasts for the market The
present plan is to breed the stock here
and then drive them across the boundary
for fattening. Mexico is a good breeding
ground. The losses of calves are small
and already many yearings and 2-year-
olds are sent to the United States to be
fattened. The ordinary Mexican cattle

largest cotton plantation of the world
under one ownership. Its lands cover
about 200 square miles. and when in
full bearing the estate has more than
100000 acres of cotton. Just now the
revolution and the disputes as to the
water rights have affected the cultiva-

the amount of land under crop is enor-

The estate covers the site of what 60

of Mexico. This lake was fed by the
Naza river, which lis subject to tor

the river changed its course and left
this lake basin dry. The American
company redeemed the land and made
hundreds of miles of canals to irrigate
it. 1t has spent more than $4,000 600
in it's development and has made tho

matter before the government of Mex

decisions of the Mexican courts to the
United States. The matter will prob

The Hague, where IL is likely that the
American claims Will be sustained.
