,|VvY HAT is the proper age for mar

? HAT is the proper age for mar
w For different persons this
question must, of course, be
answered differently, But there are
certain general rules that hold good in
the majority of cases.
1t seems to be that neither a me- n
nor woman should marry before
reaching the age Of legitimate maturity
in most of the States, twenty one.
Before their twenty-first birthday young
persons are yet infants. in the eye of
the law. and they certainly are not old
enough to assume marital responsible
ties. On the other hand. IL a young
man and woman really love each other
they should not put of their marriage
too long. Twenty-Five is an excellent
age for matrimony. for while youth re-
mains. there is also a certain SOLDERING
of the general outlook. without love,
however. no one should marry, what
ever his or her age.
Nv. NJ" writes: IT am in love with
a young man who has paid me atten-
ton for several years. but who gave ME
up because ! would not let him kiss
me as much as he wished. Now he is
going with another girl. In case he
should want to come back to me do you
think I should make him wait several
months before accepting his attentions
again?'
If you do. he will probably doubt
your affection more than ever. II you
were engaged to him think you should
have let him kiss you often. II not, he
shouldn't have kissed you at ALL

FAVORS A TAX ON
COTTON GROWERS
Congressional Committee Thinks
Congress Could Impose PrOhib-
tive Tax ON Farmers.

WASHINGTON.-After an inves-
tigation of United States supreme
court decisions relative to the taxing
power of the federal government
special committee of senator's and
representatives will report to the
joint congressional cotton conference
tonight that the general government
has the constitutional right to cur
tail the production of cotton by
means of a prohibitive tax. The com
mittee, consisting of Senators Clarke,
of Arkansas, Williams, of MISSISSIPPI
pi, White, of Alabama, and Congress
men Hardwick and Burgess, have
found a score of court decisions and
precedents to sustain the contention
that congress has the constitutional
right to levy a tax on the production
of cotton. The committee will re-
commend that such tax be levied.

AMERICAN PRAISES
THE RUSSIAN ARMY
Captain Warburton of Pennsylvania
Impressed by Method of Assem-

LONDON.-The mobilization of
the Russian army will be a model
for the rest of the world, according
to Captain Barclay H. Warburton of
Wyncote, Pa, who left St. Peters
burg a week ago and arrived in Lon
don today.
The Russian mobilization worked
like a clock said Captain Warbur-
ton. "A friend coming from the
Crimea to ST. Petersburg the first
days of the war counted 900 troop
trains on schedule. The Red Cross,
which the empress is looking after,
was on a par with the army.
"St. Petersburg was as quiet as
Philadelphia on Sunday. Life going
on as usual, except for the early clos
ing OF the theatres. The banks were
paying out money freely and food
was even cheaper than before the
war. The quiet air of confidence
among the people was very impress
stye," .f,-.

GRABS ALL RAILROADS
NEW MEXIC ADMINISTRATION is
DOING HIGH-HANDED THINGS.
That Country's Representative"
Government Is Likely to Cause
International Complications.

Observation-Disclosures John R.
Silliman reported from Mexico City
today that the constitutionalists have
taken possession of the national rail-
ways of Mexico and renamed them
the Constitutionalist Railways of
Mexico.
Mr.. Silliman reported that General
Carranza' government had taken
possession of the lines on the ground
that the Mexican government owns a
majority of the stock. The author
lied capital is $3.50, 100000 gold, of
which practically all the common
stock is held by the Mexican govern
ment.
The system has a total mileage of
more than 5000 miles, most all
standard gauge, practically covering
Mexico. There are various issues of
bonds of the principal company and
the constituent companies the system
absorbed in 1908. The total of the
stocks and bonds is nearly $780,
100000.

TURKEY STRUTS AS
OTHER NATIONS WAR
WHILE EUROPE is INVOLVED IN
STRIFE THE SICK MAN GETS
HIS STRENGTH AGAIN.
ALL SHACKLES ARE PUT Off

AbrOgates Treaties and WithhOlds
Privileges Heretofore Claimed by
All Aliens in the Empire. Action
Is Considered Radical.
Turkey has formally notified the
United States and other nations that
she had abrOgated the series of con-
ventions, treaties and privileges orig
mating as early as the eleventh cen
fury, whereby foreigners in the Otto
man empire have been exempt from
local Jurisdiction in civil and criminal
cases. Foreign subjects no longer
will enjoy what is known as extra
territorial rights through which they
have been tried by their own judges,
diplomatic Representatives or con-
suls.
This practice, abolished by Japan
several years ago through new treat
les, Turkey has removed by stroke
of the pen. Her purpose, it is de-
clared, is to assert her independence
and free herself from the domination
of the great powers.
Upon the rights revoked has rested
the legal status of American mission
aries in Turkey, permitting them to
maintain churches, hospitals and
schools in religious freedom.
'The removal of every kind of
privilege enjoyed by the powers in
excess of what the general princi-
pies of international law allow is the
meaning of this step" A. Rustem
Bey, Turkish ambassador to the
United States, declared. "The war
is Turkeys opportunity.
The question of the hour is
whether the action foreshadowed
war against Great Britain, without
whose consent in the past no such
radical action would have been at
tempted. Diplomats of the allied
powers, however, believe Turkey is
appealing to the nationalist senti-
ment of her people and is ready to
seize on any difficulties that may
arise with Great Britain as a preteXt
to declare war.

to margin their commitments down
to the basis of 5.25 for January-Feb-
ruary and 8 cents for December asks
them to put up approximately 3d.
100000. This, in other words, is
New York's apportionment of the
loss of 100000. In the meantime
the Liverpool Cotton Association is
going to try to sell the cotton at that
point to Lancashire spinners, and as
these sales are made the commit
ments with New York will be closed
out by lot along with such contracts
as Liverpool operators themselves
have made. If the sales are made to
spinners on the basis of $50 for
January-February, which would
mean cents for December in New
York, Liverpool importers would be
taking no loss whatever, for the New
York trade would margin the stock
down to the point at which it is sold
to consuming manufacturers.
BY the New York trade this is con-
sidered an unfair division of loss, al
though it is admitted that Liverpool
has taken severe losses in their com
mitments, notably on its Continental
customers and in it's engagement
with the Egyptian market at Alexan-
dria. Moreover, it is pointed out
that Liverpool made its sales for
hedging purposes and is entitled to
protection usually afforded by such
transaction. There are two sides to
the case and just now it is almost
impossible to tell what the ultimate
result will be.
1t is an extremely ugly complica
ton where enormous losses have to
be taken, with differing opinions as
to who will take the loss and wheth-
er it can be ultimately met. To many
it looks like a Gordian knot that can
never be untangled and will have to
be cut.
The following was received under
date of Sept. s from the New York
Cotton Exchange, where the joint
committee from the Liverpool Cot
ton Association, the New York Cot
ton Exchange and the New Orleans
Exchange are holding session with
the view of adjusting the straddle
between Liverpool and the American
future market, so that the exchanges
can resume operations in the near
future:
New York Cotton Exchange, Sept.
8.-The committee, under date of
their circular of Sept. 4, 1914, desig-
mates the National Bank of Com
merce, in New York city; the City
National Bank and Guaranty Trust
Company as the banks and trust
companies in which margins are to
be deposited for account Of Liverpool
firms. The committee has received
notification of the price of 5.7d for
January February in Liverpool, eff
fective today. The committee has
adjusted the price of December in
New York future market at $500.
The committee is ready to proceed
with the ballot under the committee
rules 1 and 2, which read: Mem
bers must pay margin to $500 to
each other by checks and not deposit
in trust companies, as heretofore
The committee rules that all such
margins must be paid by 2:3O p. m.
on the day allowed; calls must be in
by IL noon, otherwise call is not pay
able until the following day at 2:30

AMERICAN CATTLE STOLEN

Naco, Ariz.. Nov. SO.-An Ameri-
can cattle owner at Hereford, 12
miles west Of here, reported to Ameri-
can cival and military authorities to-
day that raiders from the camp of
Governor Maytorena of Sonora had
driven several hundred head Of their
stock across the line into Mexico Sat-
urday night Cowboys who crossed
the boundary to investigate reported
they found rs slaughtered American
cattle in the camp Of Maytorena's
Yaqui Indians.
Maytorena disclaimed responsibility
for the alleged raid, and at the re-
quest of the cattlemen sent officers
to the Yaqui camp to INVESTIGATES. He
said he would pay for all the animals
killed and return the others. Mexican
officers suggested that the cattle may
have strayed across the line.
