Dominican Uniforms,

None the worse for it's experience
the Clyde liner Algonquin arrived the

SUICIDE OF BENGAL GIRLS.
Epidemic There a. Price Of Husbands
Goes Up.

Goes Up.
The Statesman Of this city prints the
following paragraph: s7,it,l 1ss ;
It appears that quite a new spirit has
arisen among the girlhood Of the Ben
gall race Bengal has of late witnessed
with establishment akin to a feeling OF
reverence and admiration a number of
cases of self -immolation Of tender
Bengali girls"
What this Hindu writer thus COM
placently describes is in reality Curl
GUS epidemic of suicide. 1t began some
weeks ago with the self destruction of
a girl named Snehalata, whose father
was about to mortgage his property in
order to pay the purchase price of a
husband for her.
The sum now demanded by the
fathers of eligible boys in Bengal Is
ruinously high. The price Of Kayasth
who has graduated may go up to 10000
rupees ($s,33o): S.000-rupees is quite
usual demand. and even q matriculate
can command 500 rupees. The en-
hancement OF rate Is due to the law of
supply and demand. Girls must ordi-
narily be married before puberty, while
the increasing requirement of educa-
ton have led to the postponement of
the boys. There Ia thus a diminishing
supply Is unchanged
The suicide of Snehalata, who poured
kerosene oil over her clothing and set
herself on fire, provoked an outburst of
admiration among the marriage re-
formers and the fathers Of marriage
able girls. The natural result is that
other young girls have followed the
example OF Snehalata, while it is COM
mon talk among school girls that when
the time comes for their marriage they
Will sacrifice themselves in the same
way.-Calcutta Cablegram.

ALFALFA ACREAGE DOUBLED.
Iowa Showing Interest in Raising Of
Prolific Hay Crop.


Prolific Hay Crop.
Des Moines, July 13.-Agitation in
favor of growing alfalfa in Iowa had
the effect of almost doubling the acre
age planeed in this crop in 1913 COM
pared with 1912, according to reports
which are being prepared by the Iowa
department of agriculture to be pub
lished in the agricultural year book
The acreage in alfalfa last year was
1920 and the yield was 1898 tons.
The acreage in 1912 was 1864 and the
yield was 1o5,o35 tons. The average per
acre was % tons.
Pottawattania county has the record
for the highest acreage in alfalfa. Last
year 1858 acres were planted and the
yield was 3S.572 tons. In 1912 this coun-
ty planted 1881 acres. There are ten
other counties which are large growers
of alfalfa The acreage in these coun-
ties show big increase in 1918 COM
pared with 1912.
The report for 1913 shows the alfalfa
acreage and yield in Blackhawk coun-
ty was sixtytwo acres and 1lo tons.
In 1912 the acreage in this crop in
the ten counties having the highest
acreage was as follows: Fremont.
1855: Harrison, $3.50; NILS. Ass;
Monona, 1928: Montgomery. 754; Page,
319; Plymouth, 2.221: Pottawattamie,
53l; Sherry, $40; Sioux, $50; Wood
bury, 4,ss1.
The agitition continued in 1914 and
it is expected that the report for this
year which will be made up in the
early months Of 1915 will show a great
increase over the 1913 figures.
