JOINT INTERVENTION.

Those who have suggested joint in
tervention in Mexico by the United
States, Argentina, Chile, and Brazil,
have based their proposal upon the sup
posed stability of all these nations.
They have assumed that at least three
of the South American countries had
come up out of the abyss and were now
permanently upon the high ground of
political permanance. The rebellion In
Brazil, however, lends a new aspect to
the question and shows upon what
weak foundations even the strongest
South American governments are based.
Certainly a country that is unable to
maintain its own stability has no right
TO intervene for the purpose Of estab-
fishing q stable government in another
country It probably will be many
years before Brazil can claim that it
has established stable government.
The chief constitutional question In
Brazil is the relation Of the national
and the state governments. Hitherto
none of the legislative groups has
adopted any definite and consistent pol
icy on this subject Under plan of
constitutional government, whereby a
federal government Is balanced against
state governments, there is bound TO be
friction and sometimes, as in our own
case, terrible civil war. Fortunately
the United States has passed its most
serious crisis in this respect, although
we may look forward to much clashing
before the rights Of the central govern
ment 10 limit state action by treaties
with foreign nations Is permanently
adjusted.
Brazil has been republic only since
1891, and free from slavery only since
1883. The nation has been frequently
torn by internal strife since that time,
One of the chief sources of danger to
the republic is the almost complete non
existence Of middle class. The aris-
tocracy OF rank is now almost gone, but
An eristocracy of wealth is in control
OF public affairs. In theory democratic
principles are presumed TO operate
along the most liberal lines, but it is
difficult to apply these principles sue
cessfully in country where seven
eights OF the people are ignorant and
half Of them belong to backward races.
In Brazil no color line ia sharply
drawn, as IN our southern states. and
the population is steadily fusing by in
termarriage. The pure white element
preponderates in the temperate districts
Of the south, while in the north there
Is majority Of blacks and mixed
bloods. In the southern part of the
United States nearly all OF the colored
population has been disfrancbised and
democratic principles are applied only
on the understanding that the suprem-
acy Of tho whites must be assured
Such an understanding Is impossible in
Brazil. 1t Is quite probable that ulti-
matelY the question will be settled on
a different basis from that which has
been adopted in this country. It is not
30 easy to assure white supremacy in q
country where tho whites freely inter.
marry with the blacks. and where al
ready the colored population is more
numerous than the white population.

Profitable Feeding

One of the most common faults
is to feed too sparingly, in an at
tempt to make the feed on hand
last as long as possible, In some
things it is economy to save, but in
feeding for milk it is economy to
spend wisely. Cows of the right
sort which are able to consume
large quantities of feed are always
the greatest money makers. Ii is
economy to give them all they will
clean up well. Under liberal feed.
ing of good producers, it requires
around 60 per cent of the feed TO
maintain the body of the animal
and carry on the life processes. In
meagre feeding it may require 80
per cent, leaving only 10 per cent
for milk production. If this is true
one COW we'll fed would return as
much milk as four meagerly fed. 1t
is certainly greater economy to turn
40 per cent of the feed into milk
than 10 per cent, and the latter
with a greater amount of labor.
Every pound COW loses in flesh
below good living condition must
be replaced by feed later or it will
be taken from the pail during the
next milking period, and it may be
taken with interest. At times and
with certain cows, it is possible TO
overfeed. Ii a COW is gaining in
flesh rapidly, the quantity of feed
should be reduced, unless she needs
to gain. Unless she is fat, it is a
mistake to cut a dry COW down to
the minimum. If she has been bred
as she should have been, the calf is
maturing rapidly at this time and
it is at this time that the COW
should build up flor the next years
work.
However, quantity alone is not
sufficient. A COW may be given all
she can consume and still lose in
milk and flesh. The quantity she
will consume and the efficiency with
which she uses it depend feed.
The speaker fed two lots of cows
all they would consume. One lot
consumed Is per cent more feed
and gave nearly 81 per cent better
returns per 100 pounds consumed
than did the other lot. Besides
this, they held their own flesh
while the other lot lost rapidly in
flesh and condition and came out
of the experiment thin and in poor
condition. Both of these ration:
were made up of common farm
grains, except that one contained
glutenfeed (Which is a corn prod,
uct) Per ton, there was little il
any difference in the cost of the
two rations. This shows that it i,

New Zealand Women Avail
 Themselves of Right to Vote Percentage in Last Election Was Greater Than That of Men-Queston Is Given Much Anxious Thought
 By Men As Well As Women

Some of the statements made by William Crichton, an architect of Wellington, N. E., in 8 recent inter- view in the New York Times relative to the results of socialist government and woman's suffrage in New Zealand, are challenged by the Rev. John Mo- Gown Stevenson, himself a New Zea- lander, who has been featuring in this country for several months, says that some of the implications naturally re- sulting from MT. Crichton's statements were misleading.
 MT. Crichton gives the impression that the women in New Zealand do not avail themselves of their pre- rogative by voting said Mr. Steven son. This I will show to be incorrect
 In the last general election on Decem> Der z, 1911, the total number of per- sons on the rolls was 590,042. The number who went to the polls was
 4S6,100, or 83.67 per cent, of the total enrollment. The number of males en- titled to vote was 321,033, of whom
 266,9s6, or s45S per cent, voted. The females who voted in 1911 numbered
 119,114, or s2.57 per cent. of the total number of women on the rolls. The difference in proportions is just 2.01
 per cent These figures I take from the government year book for 1913. l dc not think any further comment is necessary on this point.
 Again, MT. Crichton said, in refer
 ence to woman's suffrage, Nobody gives it second thought If he
 meant to be taken literally, this, to say
 the very least, is erroneous I can
 easily think of very many in New Zealand who do give the question not only second thought but many anxious thoughts. For instance, there is the politician who is not on the square. Again the prime minister and his cabinet have to reckon with the Womans Christian Temperance vote whose power has to be reckoned with. The keeper of every gin mill il. unprohibited territory also gives it
 more than second thought.
 MT. C1icnton's declaration that convictions 6o not count with woman in voting I cannot allow to pass unchallenged. Conversations and discussions which many of Us have had around the dinner tables with our women folk, friends, mothers, sisters l at election time have taught us better As for his statement that in the lower classes the woman who doesn't want
 the vote is likely to be beaten by her
 husband, let me say that l have been
 in closest touch with the different rlnks of society in New Zealand for the last ten years, and as I voted in the election of 1911, was interested !. in a fair ballot. As went about pri- yately and publicly among parishion- CTS never once did I observe a single case of coercion on the part of a hus- band to induce his wife to vote as he thought, or even to vote at all, to say nothing about the insinuation of beat ing. l think one who works among people in a ministerial capacity is much more apt 10 know a)out this

GOOD VAUDEVILLE
 KEENEYS OFFERING

Appearing at Keeney's this week, fol- lowing some exceptionally fine vaude-
 vile offerings, but nevertheless win ming honors for himself is Twisto, one 1 of the worlds greatest contortionists, whose serpentlike movements have fascinated theatergoers in nearly every city of importance in the entire world. Twisto is a real phenom and his freak ish feats are attracting great attention. He is loose jointed and elongated in- dividual and is so supple that he can knot himself into the most remarkable lapes imaginable. His act is one of the most meritorious features of the bill. Another novel number that is re- ceiving marked attention is the special ty in which the Clintons are intro- duced. They appear in sensational ju mping specially, offering series of wonderful stunts. These people dur ing the past four years have played to theatergoers in fifteen countries. They recently returned to the United States after one of the most remarkable tours ever enjoyed by vaud eville performer. Their act should be seen to be properly appreciated
 Lovers of music are getting an un- usual treat in the concert given as the headliner by the Marine band of Rome. Fourteen Italian musicians make up this organization. Each of l them is soloist of ability and in a group they are one of the best mu- sical companies in vaudeville. Vocal
 selections by Mile. Sirignano are given

MANY GOOD SCENES IN
 "CAUGHT IN THE RAIN'

Caught in the Rain,' which will open next Monday evening at the Russwin Lyceum, is an attraction which will appeal to the theatergoers who are interested in stage fittings. The excellent stage settings and the attention to detail has been one of the big elements in the success of the Lyceum Players in their long engage ment The opening scene in the next play represents street acton m Denver, Colorado. The carpenters and artists are now engaged in mak- ing up what will be one of the best street sets that has ever been seen here The pleasing effects of scene in a hunting and fishing lodge in the Rockies will also be carefully repro duced.
 "Our New Minister" continues to be a most popular attraction Ad- vance sales already indicate large au- diences for the remainder of the week. Miss Skirvin's part in this weeks bill is small but it presents the oppor- tunity for the portrayal of her sym pathetic nature. MT. Cross popularity is showing up in every performance. His character this week presents an excellent chance for him and his work has been most favorably com mented upon.

No feature of the season is more remark able than the way in which one-piece skirts are handled. Most effective draperies are produced with single strip of fabric, and almost infinite variations. This one is exceptionally becoming and attractive yet it means almost no labor for the making. There is only one piece of ma terial with the plaits so laid that they give the graceful folds and lines, and the edges overlapped at the front The finish can be made at the high or natural waist line. as liked, and the front edge can be buttoned into place or can be stitched to the desired depth. The front edges can also be curved as in this instance or made perfectly straight.
 For the medium size will be needed 4 k yards of material 77 or 36 inches wide. or "A yards A. The width at the lower edge is yard and I4 inches.

The loose blouse suit is one of the newest for small boys. It is pretty and it ia becoming. It means very little labor for the mother and it leaves the youngster free and happy. This one is made with plain trousers and the blouse drawn on over the head, there being only a slight opening at the front. In one view, two materials are used; in the other, one throughout; and both styles are correct. Calatea and linen, madras and the like are materials most in use, but later we shall sec serge made up for the cooler days.
 For the 4 year size will be needed yards of material 2 inches wide, or 1L yards 3o or A for the blouse, with 1X yards 27, or A yard 36 or A for the trousers.
