Primitive FARMING IN Spain.

In some parts of Spain, as in the
Seville district, there are many large
farms ranging from 1000 acres up
to 10000 O. even more. In other parts
of the country thousands of peasants
till little plots of from two acres to
FIVE acres apiece. There the use OF
modern farm machinery makes very
slow progress.

Mrs. Peck very pluckily insisted on
accompanying her husband, in spite
OF the fact that the country through
which we were to pass had been In
a more or less disturbed state ever
since the revolution, and brigandage
had been rife on all the principal
trade routes. Mrs. Peck argued that
any place was safe for her that was

tell her that only one or two foreign
women had eve rgone to Jehol, but
she answered that this was the very
reason why she wanted to 60 In
the end her arguments prevailed.

Mules for Transport.
The road which leads from Picking
to Jehol passes through some very
mountainous country, and is more
suitable for mules and donkeys than
for horses. We therefore. decided to
dispense with horses and to. use only
pack mules and donkeys.F We en-
gagged FIVE pack mules and three dom
keys. The owner of the mules and
donkeys agreed to send two muleteers
with us to care for the animals.

TO BUILD ROCK FOR TUNNEL
Porous Rock Blocks Work at New
York and VIII Be Replaced by
Concrete.

New York.-One of the most remark
able engineering feats ever attempted
may soon be carried out here. The en-
gineers Of a tunnel under the East riv-
er, to accommodate huge gas main.
will first create body of rock hun
dred feet below the river bed and then
tunnel through it.
Never before, II is said, has it been
found necessary to create such an ar
tificial obstruction for the sole purpose
of subsequently boring through it, and
the experiment will be watched with
much interest
The reason for this novel undertake
ing is found in the chalky. porous rock
which the engineers have encounter
ed in driving the tunnel. So far as
can be ascertained, the headings, are
now less than seventy-five feet apart
and they would have been joined some
time ago but for the treacherous rock.
The Bronx heading was 500 feet
out under the river when the fault
was encountered. II bafled the en-
gineers and they determined to work
from the Astoria shore in the hope of
finding better conditions. The same
sort of rock was struck when the AS
toria heading was within 200 feet Of
the Bronx heading. Water poured in,
and the workmen say that even small
fish came in through the seams.
1t is understood that If no other way
is found to stop the inflow of water
the engineers propose bulkheading
both tunnels some distance back from
the present headings and filing the
aperture ahead of the bulkheads with
concrete. After this sets the engi-
neers will cut through the bed of
concrete.

cialist leader, in the German reich
stag, exposed contract between
manufacturers of arms and ammuni-
ton to eliminate competition and
guarantee mutual profits.
In the combine were one Austrian,
one Belgian and two German COM
panies, backed by French money, and
they were engineering war. scares to
get contracts. They were selling
arms to Russia and arfnor plate to
Germany.
DR.. Liebknecht referred to letter
published in VorwaertS- German
paper-in 1910-exposing an attempt
by German arms syndicate to get
false news about strengthening the
French army printed in French news
papers, so as to arouse war feeling
in Germany that would help the syn
dictate sell arms to the government
And then. the Kaiser appointedHerr
Won Gontard, head of the arms syn
dictate, a life member of the Prussian
House of Lords, Won Gontard is
son-in-law of Adolphus Busch, the
st. Louis brewer.
From this it would appear that
plunging two nations into bloody
war would be good business" 1t
might cost thousands of lives, but it
would make millions of dollars for
the manufacturers of arms and am
munition.
This may explain why the Krupp
gun works is the biggest and richest
industry in Germany. The people
there raise babies so they can grow
up to be men and then go to war to
get killed so the Krupp crowd can
make more money.

AFTER O'HkRA COMMISSION
Springfield, Ill.,, April 28.-The
Springfield newspapers today began
an organized attack on the O'Hara
vice commission.
The newspapers have been squeal-
ing like stuck pigs ever since the
O'Hara commission yanked their big
gest advertisers up before it and
forced them to tell the people of the
miserably low wages they paid their
employees.
The exposure of the International
Shoe Company, which, it was shown,
paid girls as low as 80 cents a day,
hurt more than any other. The Inter-
national Shoe Co. is the trust and
long has been the object of govern
ment curiosity. Therefore, it is ex-
ceedingly tender. 81
>>Besides, the shoe trust now has a
lobby in Washington to prevent any
reduction of the tariff in their line of
business, and for this reason also is
excessively backward in coming for
ward right now. ,s
The Springfield News answered the
cry for help of the advertisers
most nobly.
Today it printed alleged interviews
with seven young girls employed in
the International Shoe Co.'s factory.
All the interviews were to substan-
tiate Saturdays editorial in which
the News said the Investigation in
this city has been a farce, a humiliat-
ing spectacle last, by the
way, it certainly was-for the shoe
trust.
The News also called the proceed
ings "nauseating and disgusting"
from which one gathers that some of
the officials of the shoe trust were
made sick. The News also said that
mot one iota of evidence was adduc-
ed that had bearing on .so-called
white slavery" which, in Chicago,
is an ancient cry.

general training of the regular nurse,
is one that all nurses do not under
stand or are not interested in. A
special course is required for the nurse
who is to care for insane patients and
in nearly all training schools is option
al" She proceeded to outline the
course which the nurse in this branch
of the profession is required to take,
which received the closest attention.
The stages of the diseases of insanity
were given and the care required in
each as we'll as for the feeble minded
and those more seriously afflicted, stat
ing that almost every insane patient
REQUIRES different care and that each
mental disease has a law Of treatment
of it's own The demand. she said,
for nurses for the insane is constant
r. increasing and it is becoming neces-
sary to establish training schools for
lust this one branch Of the work. She
stated that only one nurse is usually
required for 100 patients and that the
nurse who takes this course is one
who must be strong in mind and body,
n who is prepared for weeks and
months of hard work and is mistress
of tact and plenty of patience. In
closing she urged hat the North Da-
kota training schools give this branch
of the work a fair trial as well as the
graduate nurses, when their oppor-
tunity comes.

He also referred to the magnificent
work which had been done by the or

ing for the widows and orphans Of de-
ceased brethren.
Mrs. S. J. Hill of Fargo gave an
address in which she told of the work
done by the Rebekahs which COM

well done by the wives and sisters all
