PREDICTED
By Gen. Huerta In An Inter-
view On The Eve Of Sailing
For Kingston.
CRITICISES THE PRESIDENT.
He Says Wilson Has Attempted
Far More Than He Can
Garry Out.

Puerto. Mexico. July 22.-With
Gen. Huerta safe on board the Ger
man cruiser Dresden steaming for
Jamaica, officials here breathed cas-
Ter yesterday. 1t has been feared
since the arrival of theformer dictator
and Gen. Banquet, former Minister
of War, that an attack by rebels in
this vicinity would lead to bloodshed
and possibly to massacre, if the
rebels should be successful.
The other members of the Huerta
party areon board the British cruis-
er Bristol, but it is said that they
would sail Immediately for Jamaica
upon passenger steamer which was
expected today.
Before leaving Huerta gave out a
remarkable interview in which he
declared it was his belief that the
United States is preparing to annex
Mexico. The former dictator was in
jovial mood. 1t was noticeable,
however, that while his eyes smiled,
his thin lips retained their stern,
grim lines.
Laughing and shaking his fingers
at the correspondents, to give elm
phasis to his remarks. Huerta said:
President Wilson has attempted
more than he can carry out. His
Mexican policy will never succeed.
He thinks he knows the Mexican
people, but he does not. under
stand. | am one of them, not of the
aristocracy, but am one of the
plain people. i am just an Indian,
but know what am talking about.
Predicts Intervention.
81 believe that the United States
will intervene. Mexico needs strong
man for ruler. This will be made
apparent before six months have
elapsed. President Wilson will have
to act now. Then Huerta dropped
into joking mood.
"Senor Wilson is my friend" he
said "Carranza is my friend, Villa is
my friend. They are all my friends.
Have they not made me famous?
Senior Wilson has attacked me often.
but / have ignored him." !
Upon being asked as to his plans,
Huerta said he would sail from Kings |
ton to France and go immediate
ly to join former President Diaz.
Huerta is undecided whether to make |
his future home in Paris or Spain,
but as man who loves gayety, he
will undoubtedly choose Paris.
"I've studied astronomy, said
Huerta. * big planet like Jupiter
may seek to absorb a small planet, |
but will it succeed"

GREATEST CROP OF
STRAW is IN SIGHT
Farmer Should Devise Some
Means of Utilizing Every Par
ticIe of Fertilizer.

The big wheat crop in prospect
indicates one of the greatest crops
OF straw ever produced in this coun-
try. Straw is not to any great extent
a commercial product The great bulk
of this portion of the small grain
crop remains on the farm, where the
product is either fed to the stock
or becomes a waste product. 1t re-
mains in the stack until it is burned
to get it out of the way. 1t is well
to take this part OF the wheat, oats
and other small grain crops into ac-
count now before the crop is grown
and arrange for a more economical
disposition of the straw. The straw
should, as far as possible, be fed to
stock and used for bedding, thus con-
verting as much as possible of it into
fertilizer-barnyard or stock-lot ma
nure. This use of the straw is the
best purpose to which it can be
turned. The strawstack should be
built to afford protection from dam
age by wet weather If the purpose is
to use 1t as a feed. By no means
burn the strawstack; devise some
means Of making fertilizer out of it
The farm needs it back on the soil,
and every particle of fertilizer that
can be produced besides.

during meal time. 1t is not generally
advisable to make living room of
the dining room, because usually you
have a sideboard or some other pro-
vision for keeping eatables, and it is
not good plan to keep food in a
room where people spend a great deal
of time. Some kinds of food are very
susceptible to contamination from the
air.
The sitting room may be made as
warm as necessary with good coal
or wood stove; and by placing drum
in the bedroom, these two rooms will
be comfortable in any kind of weather.
The pipe from the kitchen range may
be made to warm the back bedroom in
the same way. This makes very
economical way of heating the house.
The kitchen fire is needed anyway,

Origin Of the Stars on Esaa.


Of course you know that each white
star Of the American flag represents a
state of the Union. And a very pretty
and effective idea 1t is, too; but do
you know how the plan originated?
When General Washington raised
his flag at Cambridge on January 2,
ITS, it consisted of 10 stripes, alter
nate red and white. with blue canton,
or field, upon which was emblazoned
the English crosses of st. George and
st. Andrew. But one year later con-
gress decided that the field be changed
to 13 white stars upon a blue back
ground. And in 1874, when Kentucky
and Vermont were admitted to the
Union as states, the number of stripes
was increased to Is and two more
stripes were added to the Is already
there.
Twenty-four years elapsed before
any further change was made in the
design of "Old Glory" and then con-
gress reduced the number of stripes
to the original 10, but decided to add a
new star to the flag on Fourth of July
Immediately succeeding the admission
of each new state to the Union. And
from then on, this plan has followed

that is, it should be built for $1,000,

cities where labor and material have
not gone entirely out Of reach. In
these days Of prosperity, it seems to
be necessary to jump a little higher
every time you reach for something.
There is limit, no doubt, and we
may reach 1t some day. In the mean

1t is difficult these times to build
a house for $1,000; but it can be done
If we hold our ambition sufficiently

of comfort in $1,000 house if you
plant it on right lot and arrange it
with care to get the most for the

Dodder is parasitic seed plant
The stems are slender, thread-like,
yellowish or reddish and Irvine about
the plant upon which they live. The
life-history of dodder Is peculiar. The
seeds terminate in the ground The
young dodder plants soon attach
themselves to other plants. Then the
stems connecting the dodder to the
soil soon break away, leaving 1t en-
tirely attached to the host plant from
which it must secure all of its nour-
ishment. Avoid the Introduction of
dodder seed with alfalfa seed. Pains
should be taken to remove affected
spots in the field. In the large ma
jority of instances this procedure will
be sufficient. If the stand of alfalfa
is very badly affected. pillow up the
crop before the dodder goes to seed
and put the land in cultivated crop
for two or more years.

MAKE ECLAIR SHELLS
NO PARTICULAR MYSTERY ABOUT
POPULAR oELicAcY.
Mixture Of ingredients and the Cook
ing Of the Batter Before Baking Are
Matters That Must Be Care
fully Attended To.

Now that eclair shells are used in
SO many different ways housewives
are gradually learning that this new
form of pastry can be made at home
instead of always depending upon a
professional cake maker The recipe
must be followed exactly If good re-
suits are to be expected, for 1t is the
mixing of ingredients and the cooking
of the batter previous to baking that
produces the shell that is now being
used as the receptacle for ice creams,
cold pudding and fruit mixtures, as
well as for salad and cheese combina-
ions.
Any reliable cook book will give a
correct recipe for chou paste, which
batter used for cellars and cream
puffs. Proper proportions are equal
quantities of flour and boiling water
with half the quantity Of butter. No
sugar is used, as the filing, II sweet,
Is sufficient. If the shells are to be
filed with salad or cheese mixture,
little salt and paprika should be
added to the flour. They can be filed
and served either hot or cold.
A recipe which will make Ii small
shells calls for one-half cupful of but
ter. one cupful each of -four and boil
ing water and four eggs. Put the wa
ter and butter in a saucepan and as
soon as the boiling point is reached
add the flour all at once and stir Wig
orously. When the smooth paste
leaves the sides of the pan. which Is
a noticeable stage in the process, re-
move the saucepan at once. Let the
mixture stand for few minutes and
then add the unbeaten eggs, one at a
time, beating the mixture thoroughly
after the addition of each egg. Drop
by spoonfuls on a buttered shallow tin,
shaping the batter in small rounds or
in small ffnger-shaped portions, hav-
Ing the batter slightly higher In the
center. Bake about half hour, reduc-
ing the heat after the first ten min
utes. If removed from the oven be
fore they are thoroughly baked the
Duffs will collapse. A safe rule is to
take one out and if 1t does not fall In
three or four minutes 1t is proof that
the others are cooked.

an easy possibility to the home cater

GOOD RESULTS FROM
SUMMER FERTILIZING
Interesting Experience of Illinois
Farmer With Vegetables on
Soil of Decayed Roots.
Rx MILLER PuRvIs.

I have never had such good results
from summer fertilizing in the garden
as have this season. In the first
place have a splendid place for a
garden. Not many years ago 1t was
the bottom of big slough on an lll1-
nois prairie, with deep soil made
I'D of humus from long line of de-
cayed roots or water-growing grasses
and plants.
The land was put in cultivation a
good many years ago and not long
after put down to grass and kept in
pasture until last year when it was
appropriated for a garden back OF
the new house.
Last year splendid crop of weeds
was grown in this garden. Not by
me, please understand. for l have a
constitutional antipathy for weeds.
1 might have expected a very good
garden this year without special at
tention further than good cultivation,
but I know that garden vegetables
are voracious feeders and concluded
to supply mine with all they could
take care of by putting on commercial
fertilizer.
The land was plowed last fall, turn
ing under the weeds which were from
waist to shoulder high. This spring
a beautiful crop came on and was
worked into the soil before the garden
was planted.
Then a good grade of commercial
fertilizer was used In row and hill of
everything that was planted except
the sweet corn and beans. was
afraid to feed these crops too well.
As check, pieces of rows were left
unfertilized. planned to keep these
without fertilizer during the season,
but when I saw how far they were
falling behind, I began to work the
fertilizer in around the rows and hills
which had been left unfertilized.
I also worked it In the other crops

start that garden has grown until the

Long time ago, in the still dusk of
the woods away up on side of a rough
mountain, the turkey gobblers used to
come out on the little patches OF
smooth grass and talk to one another.
And down by the river, where the
houses of the people fronted the sun
set, the little Indian boys would hear
the talk of the turkeys and ask the old
men why it was that the turkeys had
such funny voices. And before the
daylight had quite gone, the old men
would tell this story:
It was in time when the birds and
the animals used to play ball together.
when it was hard for the animals to
believe that the birds were really bet
ter players, and when they had a game
every few days.
Now, in these ball games, it was the
grouse who had the best voice for hal
LONG. 1t was the grouse who kept
close to the great eagle, who was the
captain of the bird players, and cried
aloud the orders which the great eagle
gave.
1t wasn't that the voice of the
grouse was SO loud-the great eagle
himself had louder voice, and the
hawk could scream SO that you could
hear him farther, but the voice of the
grouse had something of music in it,
very clear and very easy to under
stand.
The turkey had just got fine red
beard to hang under his chin and he
wanted to make his voice sweeter, for
it wasn't very good. So one morning
the turkey went to call on the grouse,
and even before he sat down he told
the grouse that he wanted to be taught
to make his voice sweet
