to be the ambition of my life to make
them as fine as any three farms can
be made And l am going to make
them profitable as well as pleasurable.
You know farm is simply a manu-
featuring business. You manufacture
products of all kinds. Your problems
are to get your stuff manufactured as
cheap as possible and then sell 1t to
the best advantage. You must see that
there are no waste places. that every
field and. in fact. every acre OF ground
must bring forth its proportion of
profits"
Mr.. Gossard's farm at Martinsville.
Ind. has already attracted widespread
attention. He recently erected there
barn costing $4,000. On this farm
he is planning new strain of Eng
lish hogs, and he has imported six
sows from England and priZe-winning
boar. Lord Bromley Manly. one of the
best-known animals in this country
among Berkshire breeders. He also
has an original flock OF Rhode Island
White chickens that have won many
prizes. and he is building up a baby
chick business in which twenty-four-
hour-old chicks are sold at 25 cents
each. and shipped to all parts OF the
country. In addition, the place has on it
some fine blooded horses which have
taken several ribbons.
Kansas and Colorado Farms.
Mr.. Gossard has four-hundred-acre
farm at Pratt. Kan. 1t is in the great
wheat belt and he says he considers it
one of the best investments he ever
made in his life.
At Craig. Colo. he has recently pur-
chased 1000 acres of land. This prop
erty contains wonderful coal deposits,
and Mr.. Gossard says that it is in
creasing in value so rapidly that he
cannot keep up with it. He is plan
ming to put 1t in stock and ship to the
Denver market.
And what has been said of Mr. Cos
sard can be said of many wealthy and
successful business men Rapidly they
are learning the value of farms, and
they take genuine pleasure In develop
ing them.

More and more the value of farm
land, as a means Of investment. is be-
coming apparent. Men who are wise
in the world Of commerce and indus
try, men who have piled up millions
and millions of dollars and, therefore.
know what is good business, are turn
ing to farm lands with their super
fluous money. In Chicago today, the big
men of wealth own farms and are
proud of them. Many of them live in
the country and are as much tillers Of
the soil as your Indiana or Kansas
farmer. The same is true in New
York, Pittsburgh, st. Louis. Indianap-
oils, Omaha, and. in fact, all the great
cities Of the nation. The point is that
these men are experts in invest
ment-who know how how to place
their money where it is safe and
where 1t will yield the best returns.
AS is well known. John ID. Rockefeller
spends most of his time in the country.
He loves the outdoor life and, though
often alluded to by the uninformed as
an invalid. he is hale and hearty.
Rockefeller is living on borrowed time
and his propensity for out-ofdoor ex-
istence accounts for his ruggedness
after a long life fraught with strenu-
GUS experiences.
Packers Are Farmers.
Samuel Insul, president of the Com
monwealth Edison Company and mas
ter OF the elevated railways and sur
ACE lines of Chicago, lives on a farm
northwest of the city. He hurries
away from his office each day and
devotes an hour or two of his
time to the details of his great coun-
try estate. He keeps himself familiar
with every department of activity on
the farm and there is no agriculturist
in America who knows his farm better
than Insul knows his. Most of the
big packers live on farms.
Many OF the railroad presidents and
heads OF the city's banking institutions
are also practical farmers. John j.
Mitchell, president of the Illinois
Trust & Savings bank and a power In
the financial affairs of America is a
farmer. At Lake Forest and Lake
Geneva there are vast colonies OF city
farmers-hundreds of them in fact
colonies of farm homes owned and oc-
cupied by Chicago's leading business
men.
One of the millfonaires of the city
and there are not as many real mil
lionaires in Chicago as some peo-
pie would think-made the boast the
other day to some of his business
friends that he had picked the three
best investments in America.
What are they?" asked friend.
"Three farms" he replied.
ANY time a man buys a farm he is
making the best investment that it is
possible to get"

Juarez. Mexico. March 30-Gcncrai
Refuglo Velasco has offered 10 sur
render TO the rebels the Federal forces
at Torreon on condition that General
Pancho Villa gives amnesty To all OF
the officers and men Of the garrison.
according to rebel adyces tonight
Rebels claim that Villa took to-day
one Of the three cuartels which Velasco
has been holding in Torreon, and that
the Federal commander now has his
army in n large warehouse. which he
has converted into main barracks.
and in a smaller warehouse. which has
been all the while used as a cuartel.
The rebels admit that the taking OF
the two cuartels will be a diGIult
matter In the larger one the Federals
have 5000 men, a wireless tower, food
OF water. They could be starved out.
rebels say. but the only approach to
the position is a narrow pass which
cannot be forced and the cuartel is IN
a declivity, which prevents the rebels
from training their cannon upon il.
The smaller cuartel is similarly To-
Gated and is supposed TO have more
than / 900 men in II. These details are
not given out officially, nor are they
admitted by the rebels officially, but
they are current reports, said to have
come in official dispatches.

Washington. March 30.-While the
t1ousa of Representatives was the real
centre of the free tolls repeal hsht W.

Senate took an active part in the strus
gle.
President Wilson frankly resehici
the insinuations. not 10 say ulre''
charges made in the debate that ms
attitude on the canal tolls question

with Great Britain. The President re-
fcrred TO this charge as only one L
several similar insults" but he addeh
that he felt no resentm"nt toward 'es'S-
Iators who opposed free tolls repeal on
real principle.
In the Senate the lawmakers were
fairly startled when Senator James
Hamilton Lewis, of Illinois, advocating
the Wilson repeal programme turner
10 the Mexican situation and predicted
that if the United states sent its troops
into Mexico dire results would follow.
Senator Lewis declared that when the
American army was in Mexico Japan
would seize the chance TO take tAe
Philippines and Hawaii; Russia Woul1
grab Ala ska and the South American
countries would join in getting even
for the separation of Panama from CO.

administrations supporters are certain
that the repeal bill will pass the House
