have made arrangements to have 200 pounds furnished free to each farmer who agrees to make the experiment. l am now negotiating with the rail- roads to get the freight free, and I hope to do so. will also endeavor to furnish inoculated soil to go with the alfalfa seed.
 If the distribution of this alfalfa seed would result in only ten acres in crease in each county, it would be worth from thirty to sixty thousand dollars to the State. If the distribu- tion of good seed corn would in the end be the means of adding just one grain to each ear raised in the State. it would be worth over $6O,000.00 a year. One boil of cotton added to each stalk would be worth more than mil lion dollars a year to the State. Verify these things, though small in them selves will eventually prove worth while.

Expert Opinion

The soldier is traditionally famed for simplicity of speech.
 Where a statesman hankers for peroration, the man of Mars is content to put the case in the briefest and most direct fashion.
 Sometimes the gain is enormous as in the case for example, of Col. Goethal's statement of the tolls prob lem.
 The man who built the canal, and who ought to have a pretty good idea how to make the best use of it, lays down the rule, Charge every ship that uses the canal"
 1t is too bad the statesmen at Wash ington are so constituted that they can see no merit in simplicity or bre- witty.
 Col. Goethals has really covered the whole case in some half-dozen words He advocates the logical way, the fair way, the advantageous way.
 With men like Goethals on the job there wouldn't be any question of breaking treaties. Better still, there wouldn't be any need of making treaties.-St. Louis Times.

WEEKLY LETTER OF
 JOHN H. PAGE Commissioner of Mines. Manufactures and Agriculture
SEED FOR THE FARMER

Not long since 1 offered to furnish free one pound of alfalfa seed to the farmers who would use the seed for experimental purposes and prepare the land and plant the seed according to instructions. The responses have been numerous.
 More recently 1 announced that I would distribute some prize-winning seed corn. 1 have received hundreds of requests for the seed and they are still coming in. I announced that through Senator Clarke I had obtain ed 1000 packages of government cot ton seed for distribution. I received 1000 requests in three days. Several hundred other requests have come since the seed were exhausted. but Senator Clarke is making an effort to get the Department at Washington to send out the sample package to all whose requests come too late to be supplied out of the 1000 packages that were available. Several hundred names are being sent to Washington this week with a request to send out the seed. I shall urge the Secretary of Agriculture to send the seed. So will Senator Clarke. We hope to get them. If you have written and fail to get your package of cotton seed. do not be disappointed. It is just because your request came too late.
 These requests for sample packages of good seed bring us a lesson. It proves that the farmers are interest ed in good seed and good farming. and 1t argues that the Commissioner of Agriculture could render mighty good service to the farmers by ob- taining good seed for free distribution in small packages. l hope you will ask the candidates for the Legisla- ture to make an appropriation to en- able me to do this next year. The law authorizes it, but the Legislature made no appropriation for such pur- pose.
 The seed produced at the expert mental station at Fayetteville should be required to be put up in small packages and distributed to the farm CTS of the State The work is carried on by public funds, and the Legisla- ture could well afford to have it dis tributed among the farmers to give them a start of good seed, instead of being used or disposed of otherwise. hope the next Legislature will re- qulre the corn, cotton, and grass seeds suitable for planting that is produced at the University at Fayetteville, to be distributed free in limited quanti- ties to the farmers. It would be the surest way of doing the greatest good for the least money.
 In giving instructions to the farm CTS how to prepare their land for the one-pound sample of Alfalfa seed, I suggested the use of ground lime stone. am glad to announce that I

| He WAS as a rule the oldest mer-
chant. who kept a general merchan-
disc store. and afterward started the
bank in the little old town. BY vir-
ture Of having done an extensive
credit business everyone in the city
almost was indebted to him and when
people left town they settled with him
lot, taking as much cash as was nee
cessary to get the family to the new
location and the rest of the value OF
the property went to square the store
account.
In this way he became the heavi-
property owner in the city and couns-
Quently a large part OF the popula-
tion were his tenants. So that they
paid their grocery and dry goods bill

OF every month.

as they had their family supplies

new, up-to-date cash grocery cause
the people to forget the old line OF

COWARDICE is CHARGED
Honor Only to Those Who Fled With

Grande, Says Mercado.

Presidio, Texas, Jan. 11.-Twenty-
eight hundred Mexican federal SOL
diers, six generals, 100000 rounds of
ammunition, two cannonS, four large
field pieces and 1900 civilian refu-
gees were in the custody of the
United States army border patrol to-
day as the result of the federal evacu-
alton of Ojinaga, Mexico, and the
occupation of the Mexican village by
Gen. Francisco Villas rebel forces.
The distress of the refugees is in
tense. They have scant food and no
shelter. Men, women and children,
dogs, chickens and cattle are packed
/ together in q space covering several
acres. About them are scattered all
the goods and baggage brought in
flight from Ojinaga.
REQUEST FOR REMOVAL.
Urgent requests for the immediate
removal of soldiers and refugees to
some other places were sent by Major
McNamee to the war department,
through General Bliss.
Among results OF the rebel success
that places General Villas army in
undisputed control Of a vast section
OF Northern Mexico, are:

AS MUTE SUGGESTIONS.

A cannon toppled muzzer dowan-
ward a blood-stained saber sticking
in the muddy river bank, rifles thrown
in heaps, the crumpled forms among
the cactus, and the unclouded eyes
that peered here and there from
among the rocks, were among the
mute suggestions of what had gone
before. Those who went across In be-
half of the Red Cross found many
wounded who for hours remained un-
cared for. Many were traced in the
trenches by their groans. 1t was the
belief of the American Army physi-
can that many soldiers died because
neither Federals nor rebels had a
hospital corps.
The 1900 civilian refugees who
rushed across the river when General
Mercado went through the streets of
Ojinaga, telling the people to flee suf-
fered as much distress as the soldiers
Scores of women camp followers had
lost their children in the scramble
and were crying piteously in the cor
raj provided for them on the Ameri-
can side. Others were without suffi-
Client clothing and all were drenched
from wading trough the river.
Suddenly made guardians of an en-
tire foreign garrion, Generals and all
the American border patrol consider
ed what was to be done with the
Mexico where fugitives might return
ked Brigadier General Bliss at San
Antonio, Texas for instruction. 1t was
believed the question was referred to
the War Department and that Major
McNamee would be ordered to deliver
the soldiers to the nearest point in
Mexico weber fugitives might return
to their own country without jeopar-
dy Of their lives. At all events the
soldiers will be taken to Maria, Texas
the nearest railroad station.
PROBLEM FOR ARMY.
From . military standpoint the
situation was regarded as being
without y precedent, since In time Of
peace the United States Army never
has had to surround, disarm hold In
custodoy and care for 30 large .
body OF aliens. Less than 500 calvary
men handled the panic-stricken mob
OF almost ten times their number.
Thought many Federal soldiers l1ad
loaded rides and well-fllled cartridge
belts, the rouding up and disarming
was done without any untoward In
cident.
Both Villa, the victorious rebel
leader, and Mercado, the defeated
Federal commander, standing on op-
posite banks of the Rio Grande, dis
cussed the incidents in Mexican his
troy in which they had just taken a
part.
General Villa sat triumphantly in
the little adobe palace on the plaza In
Ojinaga. General Mercado sat in the
camp of the American border patrol.
