French President In Spain

(By United Press Association)
Paris, Oct. 6.-President Raymond
Poincare left here today for a three
day visit to Madrid where he will be
the official guest of the king Of Spain.
1t was rumored that an alliance be-
tween the two countries may be the
outcome Of the trip.
1t is known that Spain is tired OF
her international isolation and the
subject of an intente, if not an al
lance. was broached at the time of
King Alfonso's state visit to France
last spring. The idea was received
with considerable good will on both
sides of the Pyreennes and when it
was announced later that President
Poincare was to make an official visit
to England and another to Spain, it
was rumored in political circles that
Spain was destined to become the
friend of both England and Franco.
"In case of European war;" says
the Correspondence Militar,' at Mad
rid, France will have need of mill
tary aid either in France itself, or in
Africa. The Pyreennes must also
be protected against invasion, while
our aid in the Mediterranean would
raise the fighting strength of
Frances navy against the growing
fiect Of Austria and Italy. Naval
bases at Gibraltar, Carthagena and
in the Balearics, too, would be useful
In exchange we have need of the
money necessary to till our soil and
to outfit us to compete economically
with other nations. France can give
us all this if she will"
"We suppose President Poincare's
presence in Spain means something
more than a simple act Of courtesy"
declared the Ell Liberal
Imperial Valley press., 1913-10-06

there has been no marked fluctuation.
The modern forester finds a mute
but eloquent witness of the persistent
quality of a climate in the trees which
have weathered the centuries. For
instance, some of the giants of the for
est in California were standing thou
sands of years ago, and, as the wood
man examines the rings of new cut
tree, he finds a silent record of the
years of plenty and the years of IA
mine. During a season of great
drought the growth of the tree in cir
conference was small, while during
years of a plentiful water supply the
growth was large. Going through
the one or two thousand rings on
monarch of a California forest, one
may see ring cycles of years, ranging
back and forth like pendulum, from
wet to dry and from dry to wet.
Man has long struggled to free
himself from the terrors OF
drought. His first method was to dig
ditch and to irrigate his land. All OF
the civilizations of the worlds early
history were situated in the arid and
semi-arid regions of the earth. Their
comparative freedom from famines
was due to their utilization of their
rivers as we'll as of their rainfall. But,
as the earth's population grew from
the 5O,0OO,O00 of the era Of the En-
porer Augustus to the 16,OOO,O 100000,
of today, the irrigation ditch no
longer sufficed to meet the needs of
humanity.
The next effort was in the direction
of the Improvement of transporta-
ton methods. But as long as the OK
cart and the man-driven boat were
the only means of carrying food into
interior regions. starvation followed
corp failures Governments sought to
combat the dangers of lamine by for
bidding the expectation of commodi-
ties from regions likely to suffer from
crop failures. But it availed nothing.
When railroads were built, however,
food found new and constant channels
through which to flow, and wherever
they were put into regular operation
there was little danger of excessive
famines in spite of crop failures.
The latest method of combating
droughts is a scientific one. The
agricultural;sts of the world are ran
sacking the e;rth for drought-resist.
ing plants which will grow where
nothing grew before. Many of these
plants have been successfully cult
waited in our own country and in the
dryer regions abroad. 1t is confidently
expected by scientific agriculturalists
that millions of acres of semi-arid re-
gio~s, where irrigation is imprac-
ticable, by the application of the
methods Of dry farming and growing
dr ought resisting crops, will be made
to contribute their share of food for
the worlds growing population.

Famous Character
Of Early History
(By Frank Nerriwell. Jr.)

Orator, horseman, statesman, sol
dier, scholar and adventure lover
Who?
Light Horse Harry Lee, the greay
cavalry leader of the Revolution,
whose famous characterization IF
Washington as first in war, first il
peace and first in the hearts of mis-
countrymen" will never be forgotten.
Lees life was like the page from
an adventure book
He was born in the famous house
of hundred rooms at Stratford in
historic Westmoreland, Va. His home
was the finest mansion in the neigh
borhood and his family one of the
most prominent in the new world.
At the very early age Of 21 he
went to Gen Washington as an aide
de-camp. He was well equipped for
the calling He had brilliant mind,
a good education, an inborn love for
adventure and excitement and a won,
derful knowledge of horsemanship.
Probably Washington never had
such a good horseman near him in
his service as young Lee.
The saddle came quite naturally
to this Virginian, for the house of a
hundred rooms had stables with stalls
for a hundred horses. So when he
went to the wars, Lee took with him
the pick Of the stable.
From the fall of IT, when he went
to headquarters, until early in 1852,
there was hardly day when Lee was
not in the saddle.
His life in the army started out
with adventure and ran the gamut
of all sorts of uphill and down-dale
experiences until his death in the
hands of mob.
Before Lee had been in the service
many days he saved Alexander Ham
ilton's life at the risk of his own.
The two had been sent by Wash
ington TO remove some stores which
he feared might fall into the hands
Of the British. On their way back
they came upon the advance guard of
the enemy. To give Hamilton and
four Of the men with him a chance
to escape with the stores to boat,
Light Horse Harry quickly engaged
the Britshers in hot encounter.

jury.

Hamilton succeeded in reaching the
boat and Lee was obliged to beat a
hurried retreat for cover to save him
self. 1t was more than likely that
his horsemanship saved him, for he
rode like the wind.
AS soon as Lee disappeared the
Britishers turned fire upon the men
in the boat, and Washington got a
message from Lee announcing Hamil-
toms peril few minutes before Ham
ilton arrived in the camp with the
startling news that Lee had been cap
tured or killed outright.
Washington, well pleased with
Lees quick. effective work, handed
Hamilton's message to him, saying,
"Your reports seem to answer eacn
other"
front again as leader of an expedi-
tion which earned him almost as much
credit as Wayne's famous storming
Of Stony Point.
He surprised garrison of 500 men
at Paulus Hook, now Jersey City, m
a night dash. By clever maneuver-
ing and astute calculating he manag-
ed to get within the main works of
the garrison without arousing the
suspicion of the pickets. The surprise
was complete. He took $50 men and
officers and returned to Morristown
the next morning with only two men
killed and three wounded.
1t is believed that the strategy Lee
employed in this capture was Wash
ington's real reason for choosing him
to try and take the traitor Arnold,
Washington confided his plan Of
capturing Arnold to Lee, asking him
to find a man who could carry it out.
"He must desert" Washington told
Lee.
That Lee was quick as we'll as cap
able is evident from the fact that
eight hours after Washington dis
closed the plan to him he had found
John Champe, sergent major of the
legion, and started him upon the mis-
sion.
But to follow the doings of Champe
in his attempt to capture Arnold is
another story.
There was probably no more ex
citing period in the life of Light Horse
Harry than when he joined Nathaniel
Greene to help uphold the cause Of
independence in the south. He fought
there valiantly leading flying attacks
on the British. He used bravery,
strategy, diplomacy and unceasing
energy to defeat the British.
At the end of six years active ser
ivce, during which he was in more
than 100 engagements, Lee asked for
a furlough. 1t was granted. When
the fourlough was over the war was
over, too.
Not content to live in retirement
Lee turned from the din of battle to
the buzz of politics.
He went to congress and was elect
ed governor of Virginia in 1892.
His restless activity won him the
title of Light Horse Harry

Carrotte also called her vile

wore plain dresses to do the
housework he informed her she
was dowdy and sloppy" Then
she alleges she bought fine clothes
and he sneered at her.
