AMERICANS ON BOTH SIDES IN MEXICO Soldiers of Fortune With Villa and VelascO A ROMANTIC CAREER Stories of Holmes and Richardson Read Almost Like Fiction-For- mer Was Once In Navy of
 Hayti

Love of adventure has drawn many American soldiers of fortune into war ridden Mexico, and they are to be found in the trenches of both federal and rebel armies. operating machine guns and directing the attacks Shoulder to shoulder the Americans have stood on the battlefield. some fighting desperately with the remnant of Huertas once powerful army. others leading the charges across the open for the constitutionalists, says an Fl Paso special to the St Louis Globe Democrat.
 There are several Americans who were in the fighting around Torreon, with the two warning factions of Mexico, who are well known in Fl Paso. Two of the greatest soldiers of fortune, men whose careers read like fiction, well known in this country, are now with Nelacos fleeing army. Al- though comparatively young men, they have participated in many revolutions and been heroes in scores of adven- lures that read like chapters from the Arabian Nights" These two men are Capt Charlie Holmes of Grafton, W. Va and Tracy Richardson, of Mis- souri, both of whom have been in this city many times during the past three years. They are operating machine guns for the federals, according to the Spanish refugees who arrived here re gently, and both men are retreating southward.
 Captain Holmes, ex-filibuster, soldier of fortune and treasure seeker, has been around the world several times.

require volumes. It is doubtful if Rex Beach or Richard Harding Davis ever portrayed a character with the career of Richardson He has fought in many revolutions in Mexico Central America, South America and other foreign lands.
 Richardson first came into prominence soldier of fortune during the early days of the Madero revolution, when he enlisted with the forces of the martyr president He was in the thickest of the fighting in Chihuahua, Sonora, and Goa huia. In one of the hardest battles of the campaign he was shot through the lung and left to die on the battlefield. But his remarkable stamina resulted in his recovery. He came back to Fl Paso after the establishment of the Madero government and later went to Central army for the Honduras government dur ing revolution in that country and fought in several desperate battles.
 Richardson was in Cuba and took sew eral trips to Europe. He has been in many other stirring adventures He was in the thickest. of the battle of Oiinaga. when the federals crossed the Rio Grande and surrendered to Major McNamee, com manding of the United States troops at Presidio. He went to Ojinaga as the staff photographer for an eastern newspaper syndicate. and stood in the trenches talk ing snap shots of the fighting.
 Returning to El Paso he went to Trni- dad, Col. during the now famous coal strike. commanding a detachment ofmine guards that participated in several pitch ed battles with the miners.
 After peace was restored in the coal re- zion he returned to Fl Paso and then disappeared. He was later heard from at Mexico City, where he announced he had joined the federal army and was att tached to the Velasco brigade. Since that time he has been fighting in Torreon ant

Protect Our Young Men

From Leslie s.
 The Rev. Dr. Frank W. Gunsauius. out of his experience with thousands of young men and women at the Armor institute in Chicago, is convinced that the cities must do something in the mat ter of protecting from vice conditions the young people who flock to them from the country. Chicago leaders, by reason of the suggestive constructive work of the Chicago Give commission have be- come convinced that the city should seek to remove temptation, and also should instruct youth against pitfalls.
 Tt is my belief, says Dr. Gunsaulus, that every school ought to be supplied with such medical advice and wise teach ing as to forewarn and forearm. Our big cities have no business inviting the innocent people from the country to come in and be educated in them without mak- ing a strong effort to guard them against the rapacity of things immoral and well organized which fairly fall upon new and fresh material'
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-06-14

Firing of his life of adventure, he re- turned last year and married. But when the rebel army started winning and the revolution grew the call of the wild was too strong for him. and he came to Fl Paso where he joined the federals and was attached to Velasco's s army. Since that time he has been with the Huerta army and fought des- perately to defeat General Villa in the attack on Torreon.
 Captain Holmes was born in Eng land. of a family of sea captains and rovers. Coming to the United States at an early age he was reared in the New England states later taking up the life of a sailor on Lake Erie steamers soon attaining the rank of captain.
 It was Captain Holmes who was in charge of the ill-fated excursion steam CT Alert which went down in a storm on Lake Erie several years ago. carrying

 The population of continental United States will be within a million of loo.oO0'o" by July L 1911. according to the official estimate of the census bureau This marks an increase of 100000 since the census of 1910 By the same estimate the population of the United States and its possessions by next July win be l0e.0o0. GOO New York city shows remarkable increase in the past four years-o66,6 ,6Sf- an amount greater than the entire popu- lation of any but the first five cities of the United States in ialo.

The Old Fashioned Mother

When Bishop Anderson of the Prot estant Episcopal diocese of Chicago de clared in a Lenten sermon that the home lacks religion. he touched the main cause of the religious decline of our day. Amer ican life is becoming secularized. Parents not only fail to teach their children the fundamentals of religious life but fall down quite as badly in the example they set. When parents do things that make their children blush,' said Bishop An derson, how can the children be blamed

$75O,OOO Chinese Exhibit.

Advices received from the Orient
on November % by ]. S. Teager, in
charge of the classification of exhibits
for the Panama-Pacific International
Exposition at San Francisco, stated
that 1000 tons of exhibits consigned
by the Government of China to the
big fair have left Shanghai for San
Francisco on one of the big liners.
They are due to arrive early in De-
cember, and are to be installed in
the various exhibit palaces.
The large sum of $750,000 has
been appropriated by China for par
ticipation at the exposition, and this
is the first Of many shipments of
exhibits to be made. The Chinese
commissioners declare that this will
be not only the most comprehensive
and costly exhibit eve sent out of
China, but that 1t will be a revela-
ton to the world, especially in the
way of agricultural and horticultural
products, silks and manufactured
articles. The Chinese p%avilions, oc-
cupying a large space east of the
Canadian pavilion, are nearly COM
pleted, and work is well advanced
on the Chinese village on the Zone.

Of the lot. =
Surface drainage provides for re-
moving the water from the surface
by making the surface slope defi-
nitely to the catch basin, and by
placing thing about 80 inches deep
every 20 or 80 feet apart over the
entire lot. If necessary these tiles
may be led to the catch basin for
emptying.
The catch basin should be made Of
stone, brick or concrete deep enough
to catch the drainage and hold 1t
until it settles. The water may be
drawn off through a large tile or pipe
into the most convenient outlet.

Fertilizer Use Increasing.

Imports of fertilizer materials have
increased, according to data of the
bureau of foreign and domestic COM
merce, Department of Commerce, for
the period ending with April, 1914,
indicating greatly enlarged arrivals of
n~itrates, potash, salts and other
similar materials.
KANT, a potash salt Of very low
price, was imported last year to the
extent of 100000 tons, valued at ST.
100000; sulphate of potash, $4,000
tons, valued at nearly $4,000, 900, and
other fertilizer salts, $4,000 tons,
valued at 81, 100000. About 80 per
cent of the imported potash is used
for fertilizers, and only about 10 per
cent in the manufacture of glass,
soap-making and other chemical in
dustries. The imports of both the
nitrates and the potash salts have
more than doubled in the last 10
years.

Fertilizer Resources in America

port the meat production demanded
by the dietary customs of the Amer
lean people is gradually, but steadily,
withdrawing these ~"organic" carriers
from the command of the fertilizer
manufacturers, while the demand for
nitrogen carriers is steadily increas-
ing.
Necessity Predicted.
The necessity for artificial meth
DDS of fixation of atmospheric nitro
gen in the United States is not imme-
diately present, but is approaching
rapidly. 1t would be premature to
announce the results of the Depart
ment's Investigations as yet, but the
types of material which are Of COM
mercial promise for American condi-
tons have been pretty well worked
out and substantial progress has been
made in the investigation of the
fundamental technical factors which
must control the production of these
particular types.
At the same time investigation Is
being made of other possible sources
of nitrogen. Following up previous
investigation of the possibilities in
the fish-scrap industry of the Allan
tic Coast, already developed, a study
has been made of the possibilities on
the Pacific Coast, including Alaska.
The waste fish and fish refuse ap-
proximate annually 10000 tons and
can be made to yield about 10000
tons of scrap (fertilizer) and 3,000,-
900 gallons of oil, worth, perhaps,
1880, 900. A study is also now I'M
der way of the possibilities under
American conditions Of utilizing
garbage and other city wastes.
Phosphate Rock Wasted.
Although improvements are being
made, the wastage of phosphate rock
at the mines is still disconcertingly
large. In Florida, where the most
actively worked fields are situated,
Investigations Of the Bureau Of Soils
have shown that practically two
pounds of phosphorus goes to waste
for every pound produced In mer-
charitable rock. Studies are now be-
ing made looking to the recovery or
prevention of some Of this wastage
by mechanical methods, while sew
eral chemical methods have been
carefully investigated. One of the
latter Is a modification of the we'll
known sulphuric acid extraction, but
by steps" Extraction by electrol-
ysls has been shown to be econom-
ically impracticable, but the use of
the electric current to produce tenn
peratures necessary for volatilization
methods appears very promising, and
at least two such methods are now
being subjected to factory trials by
outside commercial organizations.

n RECENT bulletin OF the Maine
~ Agricultural Experiment Station
shows that the poultryman OF
farmer car materially add to the
profits of his business by properly
caring for the droppings of his fowls.
For example, it is shown that the
droppings from 1000 fowls II pre-
served without needless loss r.
worth at least $500 per annum, and
this estimate is based on the assump-
ton that less than half Of the drop
pings, or only 80 pounds per hen per
year, can be collected.
According to the Maine station,
the droppings should be collected
daily and mixed with substances
which will (1) prevent loss Of nitro
gen, ca add sufficient potash and
phosphoric acid to make a better
balanced fertilizer, and 60 improve
the mechanical condition Of the ma
nure SO that 1t can be applied to the
land with a manure %spreader.
This can be done as follows: To
each 80 pounds Of the manure add
10 pounds OF sawdust, good dried
loan, or peat, 16 pounds of acid
phosphate, and s pounds of kainit.
Such a mixture will contain about
1.25 per cent of nitrogen, AS per
cent of phosphoric acid, and q per
cent of potash, which, used at the
rate of two tons per acre would fur
nish SO pounds of nitrogen, 1856
pounds of phosphoric acid, and so
pounds of potash, and at the present
price Of fertilizing ingredients is
worth about SO per ton. The mix
ture would furnish a w~ell-balanced
stable fertilizer, which, although
not fine enough to work we'll in
drills, a be successfully applied
with a manur spreader. The treated
manure should be we'll sheltered I'M

Rumor That Foot-and-M Mouth
Disease Is Plot Unfounded

q SENSATIONAL reports that tie
- foot-and-mouth disease is being
Intentionally disseminated in tie
hope of interfering with Americas
exporting meat to the warning coun-
tries in Europe have nov been proved
to have no foundation whatsoever.
They have been traced In fact to a
story invented by an irresponsible
individual in Lincoln, Nebraska. This
man stated to a State representative
that he had overheard a conversation
between two men who were equipped
with hypodermic syringes and who
said something to the effect that they
would see to it that the allies got
precious little meat from the United
States. This alleged conversation
was at first said to have taken place
between $50 and 1880 in the after
noon. Investigation showed, how
ever, that the man in question had
already reported 1t as early as 4
O'Clock that same afternoon. When
confronted with this inconsistency,
he admitted that he was so drunk at
the time that he didn't know whether
1t was day or night. Furthermore,
he has already acquired a reputation
for similar sensational f%abrications.
No Evidence of Plot.
On this slight foundation stories
have been circulated which it is re-
ported are interfering with the mar
keting of perfectly healthy stock.
There is no other evidence whatso-
ever of any plot to disseminate foot
and-mouth disease, and it Is hardly
likely that any government which
would undertake such a scheme
would entrust 1t to men so careless
as to discuss it when there was any
chance of being overheard. The
rapid spread of the foot-and-mouth
disease is due entirely, in the opin-
ion of authorities In the Department
Of Agriculture, to the extreme con-
tagiousness of the infection, and in
particular to the early infection of
the Chicago Stockyards, the great
distributing center of the United
States. From these yards the disease
was carried by various shipments
into all the states In which it has yet
appeared. From this point Of view,
therefore, it is said, the states can
hardly be considered as widely sep
arated, since they all were in close
communication with Chicago.
