THEIR CITY
THANKSGIVING
BY GEORGE MUNsoN.

John Robinson lay on his bed in the
hall room which he occupied In the
cheap lodging house, reading a letter
from his folks upstate. 1t was sign
ed by his mother and his two sisters
Eve shall all be thinking Of you
next Thursday when we eat our

ting along so nicely. We wish you
could be with us, but, as you say,
business is business and you will
have to be at work Friday morning
There was much more, but ROBIN
son had only SKINNED that part about
the doings on the farm. His heart
was In the cottage in the little ham
let where he had been reared before
he went to the city, two years before,
to make his fortune. His tales of sue
cess had been lies, amiably devised
for the sake of the old people.
John Robinson was only twenty
four, but he knew that If he were for
ty his prospects would be no brighter.
He was just an ordinary, clean-mind-
ed country boy, caught in the ma
chinery of the city, and just now earn
ing a wage of eight dollars a week as
a grocer.s clerk. That was as we'll as
he could do. He might have been
Iongshoreman, IL he were stronger,
and earned little more, or a street
car conductor, or fill any one of many
such positions. But he saw quite
clearly the exact limitation of his
prospects. He wished he were back
on the farm again. But he could not
swallow his pride. He had gone off
amid the salutations of the half en-
vious village lads of his own age,
and to go back would mean a terrible
downfall In their estimation and
confession OF failure.
A strange and yet familiar smell as
sailed his nostrils. OF a sudden he
realized that he was hungry. He had
intended to spend that Thanksgiving
day In his room, resting, and had
made a cheap mess of bacon and eggs
upon the little alcohol stove on which
he cooked his breakfasts. But his
starved body suddenly demanded bet
ter nourishment: it clamored desper-
ately, wildly, for this now remem-
bered deiicacy.
FIe knew what 1t was. The girl In
the adjacent room was cooking a tur-
key!
He knew her to nod to ON the
stairs when she came home In the |
evening from the department store In
which she worked Fanny--that was |
the only name he knew her by-was
pretty and gentle and had sort of
frightened look in her eyes which |
haunted him, since 1t was so like
the look which he had worn for the
first few months after his arrival. He
had never had the courage to speak to
her
That odor was very tempting. He
opened his door a little. Then he saw
that her door was ajar also, and, as
he went softly out he came face to
face with her Her hair was dis
heveied and her face red from bend.
Ing over her gas stove.

Join me?" she said timidly. It's my
dinner" she continued,
with little laugh. Il thought was
afraid you might be hungry. Mrs.
Higgins said You cooked all your own
food." she continued.

for stock. We can mix lespedeZa,
white, crimson, burr clovers and the
vetches with Bermuda and they will
grow we'll together. We can also mix
orchard grass, tall oat grass and the
red top with Bermuda. But putting
lespedeza on the Bermuda sod to as
list in furnishing summer pasture and
winter clovers, or a vetch on it to fur
nish some winter and early spring
grazing, we can supply continuous
grazing for our stock and at the same
enrich our land.
Sow lespedeza seed on Bermuda sod
in February or early March; sow the
winter clovers or vetch seed In Sep
TENDER and October. When the seer
are sown on a heavy sod, it is usually
necessary to disk 1t In order to insure
termination of the seed at an early
date.
Bermuda may be propogated both
from seed and root cuttings The
seed method is not recommended ex.
cept where 1t is very difficult to secure
pieces of sod. Plow the land deep and
disk and harrow until 1t lie fine. Lay
off rows about two feet apart and four
inches deep with shovel plows. Drop
small pieces of the sod every two feet
in the burrows and cover with har.
row. A drag or light roller will put
the finishing touches on the job. The
sodding of the land may be done at
any time during the year.
When we have made our hill land
fertile by deep blowing, the addition
of commercial fertilizers and the grow
ing Of leguminous crops, and have
thoroughly sodded them in Bermuda
grass and summer and winter cloYeTs,
we can cut out some OF our unDroft
able labors. substituting good negs.
brood mares, cattle and furnish the
the hands, labor-saving implements
and strong teams to till the more level
acres on the farm.
The pasture lands should not only
be fertile, thoroughly prepared and
preporly fortified before sodding it in
grass, but the briars, brush and
weeds must be kept down and the
grasses fortified and cultivated every
two or three years. Where lespedeza
or some winter clover, or both, grow
on Bermuda sod 1t will not be neces.
sary to apply nitrogen except to the
poorer spots.
1t will usually pay to apply a light
dressing of phosphate once every two
years where the soil responds to acid
phosphates. On some sandy soils it
will pay to apply potash every two
years. The use OF disk harrow on
the Bermuda sod every two years
will cause 1t to take on new life.
We must not permit stock to Craze

plan to have two pastures and never

time.
Let us urge the farmers of the cot

Of the boil weevil line, to put a large
per cent. of the cotton land in grass.
We have great variety of grasses to
choose from. such as Bermuda, blue
grass, meadow foxtail, orchard grass,
red top meadow fescu, alsike clover.
tall oat grass.
Money invested in thoroughly good |
permanent pastures Is like money in

Eastern Citizens Fight
Bill for Paving Tax

Resolutions protesting against the
passage of a bill by Congress compeIl-
ing property owners to pay their share
for paving and sidewalks were passed
Monday night by the East Washington
Citizens Association at a meeting feat
ured by sharp encounters between me,n-
bers. The association also recommend
ed in resolutions that Congress al once
provide East Washington with high
school building.
In support of the paving and sidewalk
resolution the claim was made that its
passage would work a great hardship
on the people Of East Washington be-
cause Of the unimproved condition of
that section.
The resolution presented by NJ I.
Weller, urging the passage Of a law
making improvements on property
where occupied solely by the owner,
exempt from taxation to the amount Of
Sl,5p. was referred to the executive
committee.

VOTE ON CURRENCY
DUE ON WEDNESDAY
Senator Kern Says Debate
on the Bill Is Petering
Out.

Late this afternoon Senator Kern,
Democratic leader of the Senate, ex-
pressed the opinion that a vote on the
currency bill would be reached Wednes-
day night.
Senator Kern said he had been unable
to reach an agreement for vote, but
believed the debate was petering out,
and that it would be possible to reach q
vote Wednesday evening.
Senator Kern says that if a vote
is had Wednesday night the bill will
be passed through conference by Sat
urdady. an be ready for the sigma
ture of the President at that time.
In other quarters doubt was ex-
pressed whether 1t would be possible
to reach a vote before late this week.
Apparently the session of Congress
will be continued close to Christmas
Day to get the bill through conference
and obtaining its enactment. This will
happen unless Senators Bristow, Bur
ton, and La Toilette, who have been
opposing unanimous consent agree
ments, do not give way quickly.
Senator Shomas of Colorado expected
to speak today, but was prevented by
illness.
Senator Bristow replied to recent
criticisms by Senator Root of the guar
antee of bank deposits.

ACID TEST APPLIED
TO GEN. CARRANzA
Scores of Men, Women, and
Children, Panic : Stricken,
Fight Rescuers as They Run
From Floor to Floor.

The acid test is being applied to-
day to Gen. Venustiana Carranza
On the outcome probably hangs the
question OF final peace for Mexico.
Carranza has IN his possession de-
mands, couched In plain, emphatic,
and unmistakable language, signed
by Secretary Of State Bryan. that he
intervene to restore order in Chi
huahua City.
Curb Villa or admit that you can
not control the men who are aiding
in your revolution" is in effect the
demand from the United States Of
ficials. And failure to show that
Villa is only a Observation-Disclosures
a very capable one-who will obey
orders, will in all probability end for
all time the suggestion that Carranza
is the one man who can be depended
or to restore peace and order in
Mexico when Huerta is eliminated.
Junta Wires to Villa.
Eryan's demands have relieved unex-
pected support from another source. 1t
developed today that the local constitu-
tionalist, Junta, has wired to Villa, in
dependent of whatever action Carranza
is taking. The victorious revolutionary
general has been plainly told that his
action in evicting foreigners from their
homes and exiling them from the coun-
try has injured his cause here. He has
oeen asked to restore all seized property
and to refrain from molesting any
foreign residents in the future.
Members Of the junta here say that
many of the charges brought against
Villa are without foundation. They say
that most of tie Spaniards exiled from
Chihuahua City have been open SYM
pathIzers with the Huerta regime and
have given. much money to aid his
cause. And they say that villa has
acted as he did to eliminate the possi-
bility that Huerta and his generals in
northern Mexico should be given posses
sion of an of the facts about the con-
stitutionalist army when II starts South
for the conquest of Mexico City.
Whether this claim is justified will
be known here within twenty-four
hours. Secretary of State Bryan has
instructed the. consul in Chihuahua
City to send a complete report of
everything that Villa has done since he
took possession of Chihuahua City.
On American Wires.
This report will not be trusted to the
Mexican telegraph lines. Instead. 1t
will be brought to Ell Paso and there
placed on the wires to the State De-
partment.
The Administration is badly worried
about the latest development in the
Mexican situation. and is waiting anx-
iously for this report. When the va
rious powers agreed to await the pleas
ure of this Government, and not inter-
fere in Mexico. to protect their own
subjects and their property. the State
Department agreed to protect all for
eigners-
This they have been able to do up TO
the present. But should Villa prove
obdurate in this instance, a new prob
lem will be presented, which would
bring Intervention far too close for com;
fort. But Secretary Bryan was hopetui
