Miss lnez Milholland tho we'll

arguing with an anti at dinner
at the Colony club in New York.
oh you are unfair" she said, You
turn even our merits against us.
You are like Rain-in.thc.F Face
"Chief Rain-in.the-Face was once
escorting a woman in a canoe across
a Canadian lake which the Indians
held in superstitious dread. believing
that If one spoke while crossing the
lake one would inevitably be de-
stroyed by the Great Spirit
We'll. the woman thought she
would cure tho Indians Of this silly
superstition and So in the middle OF
the lake, she sang a song at the TOP
of her voice.
"Rain-in.tho-Faco was overcome
with dread and horror, He signed to
his radilers to paddle faster and the
mon strained every nerve In silence
they soon landed the canoe on the op-
rcsite bank
Then the woman said to Ran.in.
the-Tace:
There! | hope you're convinced
now that one can talk and sing while
crossing tho lake without angering
the Great Spirit?'
Huh said Rain-in,the-Face scorn.
fully. The Great Spirit is merciful.
He knows woman can't keep STILL"

ALFALFA DAY"
in AMERICAS
Continued from page u

along the line of farm Investigation.
Mr.. Byrne declared in his opening re-
marks that he knew nothing abou!
farming, but when he closed his brief
address his audience held contrary
opinion. Mr. Bryne spoke interesting
ly of conditions in Texas, where he
cnce resided, and told how many far
mers had quit "all cotton" and grown
rich by planting wheat and other di-
versified crops, and raising cattle.
Georgia farmers, Sumter county
farmers, can diversity crops and raise
cattle, too,' declared Mr. Byrne. CIV
cry farmer should raise cattle, not
only for the added production of his
lands, but as money producer in the
sale of his stock in the market" de-
clared the speaker.
The concluding address was made
by Mr.. J. F. Jackson, agriculture
agent for the Central of Georgia rail
way, who told the audience what the
Central railway is doing in promoting
crop diversification and the encourage
ment given the Boys Corn clubs, all
over the state in rs counties. The av-
erage yield, he stated, was 10 bushels
per acre, and the experiment has
proven a splendid success. His road
he said, was operating ten test farms
in the interest of advanced agriculture
in Georgia.
Americus' first Alfalfa Day. was
indeed a success, and the Chamber OF
Commerce will suggest other similar
occasions that will prove to the ma
terial advantage of the farmers Of
south Georgia.

Lind Not Coming Home.

Under no circumstances, 1t was learned,
would Mr.. Lind leave Mexico at this
time. Not only would his departure be
an indication that this government had
abandoned hope in tho situation but It
is thought that It would have depress-
Ing effect upon Americans who choose
TO remain in the country.
The provisional Mexican government, It
has been pointed out, Is encountering
financial difficulties and there have been
tntimations that there might be a change
In tho government personnel which would
open the way to negotiations upon a def
mite basis that would lead TO an election
for the Mexican presidency under consti-
tutional regulation. Washington officials
seem to be convinced that Senior Gam
boa's second note gave assurance that
Huertn would not DO a candidate for
election under any circumstances. With
Huerta removed from the possibilities
!t has been suggested this government
could make concessions which strict ad-
herence to the fundamental grounds OF
the original proposals of the de facto
provisional Mexican government But
until such development. the adminlstra-
ton has ground for the belief that there
is danger to Americans remaining in
Mexico because of the straits In which
the provisional government finds itself.
A discontented army. 1t has beon sug-
gested, might become uncomfortable.
