These Men Have Money.

Perhaps no one hates the sight
of money more than the croupiers
at Monte Carlo, through whose
hands thousands of dollars pass
every day.
1t is not everyone who can be a
croupier. lingering and count
ing money at the Casino requires
special training, and, according
ly, there is a school of croupiers
in Monaco. Here there are tables
similar to those used in the gam
bling-rooms, and each scholar"
is taught by master" how to
become a croupier.
The"master" and the scholar
personate players, while On e
scholar" takes the part of a
croupier. The money used is
sham, metal discs being substi-
tuted for coins and slips of paper
for bank-notes. Within a given
time the croupier-scholar must
calculate and pay out the win
ming stakes. He has to learn how
to pitch money from one end of
the table to a precise spot at the
other end, and a good many other
things.
When a scholar" is passed as
perfect he enters the service of
the Casino under an agreement
which stipulates that he can be
dismissed at a moments notice
without any reason being given

costly Raiment,

Shortly before his death the
marquis of Anglesea bought
three dozen handkerchiefs for
which he paid $50 e dozen. They
had his crest worked in human
hair in the corners.
1t is interesting to know that
the late Cue d'Albe, uncle of the
ex-Empress Eugene, was in the
habit of ordering Il dozen hand
kerchiefs at a time, for which he
paid $1OO a dozen
Perhaps the most expensive
handkerchief in existence is in
the possession of the Italian roy
al family. 1t took three women
more than five years to make it
and is valued at $4,000.
One of the Bulgarian princes
has the peculiar hobby of collect
ing dressing gowns. His ward
robe contains an enormous num-
Der of these articles of appearl
many of which are worth $500
each. Some time ago he had a
dressing gown specially made for
him in Parisy for which. he paid
$500.
The gaekwar of Baroda has a
coat, woven of gold and EN-.
broidered with diamonds ano
rubies, which cost SIPS, 900; the
emir of Scindia possesses a coat
of brilliant scarlet and a cap Of
black and gold studded with
gems which are worth over $3.50

The Increase i'm Farm
Wages.

The Department of Agriculture
says that the wages of farm la
Dor have increased about 25 per
cent. in the last four years and
Sc per cent. since 1902. This is
good news. Until agriculture is
able to pay as much for the same
labor as other industries pays, it
is evident that something is radi-
cally wrong-either farmers are
not as efficient as employers in
other lines of business or other
industries are favored at the ex-
pense Of agriculture. Farm
wages have in the past been low
er than wages for equal work in
any other line Of employment,
and it is a healthy sign of prog
ress when labor on the farm com:
mands more money. With an
increase n wages, however,
should go an increase in efficien
cy. Whether there has been
such increase is an open question.
Many farmers believe that farm
labor of today is less efficient and
trustworthy than that of five OF
ten years ago. If this is the
case, the rise in wages will soon
reduce the profits of the employ
ing farmer to the point that will
prevent any further increase in
wages. Good pay must be based
on good work.

policy of President Wilson has
been condemned by thousands of
Americans, yet it is time now for
cooperation and the Chief Exec.
The Adair County news., 1914-05-13
President Wilson and Mexico.

The sensible thinking people
Of this country endorse President
Wilson'S treatment of the treu-
Bile with Mexico. or more cor
rectly speaking, his treatment of
the Huerta government. This
policy is clearly war if necessary
but peace if possible with honor.
The United States has no caucus
belli with the Mexican people
and we can hope for nothing by
getting in trouble with them.
There could come no credit to
the United States in whipping
80 weak people.
The Huerta Government has
outrageously insulted the United
States by incident after incident
Cor the purpose of bringing on
war with the United States. AS
far as it is concerned their pur-
pose has been accomplished. By
capturing Vera Cruz and block
aiding the other points of Mexico
the United States has placed the
Federals in the position that they
can neither get supplies of war
nor money from the outside.
While this has been done, not to
help Gen. Villa and his army,
the results are the same as if
that had been the United Statess
We bave made it just that much
easier for Gen. Villas army to
march into the City of Mexico
and capture Huerta and do just
what they please with him. Our
possession of the ports of Mexico
makes us, as far as the end of
the Huerta regime is concerned,
an ally of Villa.
It is evidently the policy of
President Wilson, in spite of the
jingoes in this country, not to
wage a war of conquest in Mex
leo, but to hold the ports and let
Huerta and Villa fight it out.
There will be no act of further
aggression upon the part of the
United States unless there is fur
Their provocation.
But in preparation for any
emergency that may arise, which
might compel our troopsIto march
into Mexico, every step will be
taken by President Wilson to be
ready at a moments notice. We
have a President who will uphold
the honor of the Nation at any
cost, but who will not plunge the
nation into any war which Can
beavoided. In the time of per-
il it is the time for GOODNESS. It
is time to stand behind the Pres
ident and hold up his hands and
not to criticise and embarrass
him. -E-Town News.

STORY OF THE BATTLE

Washington, April 22.-The Am
erican flag flies over Vera Cruz.
-Four Americans were killed and
twenty wounded when a detachment
Of blue Jackets and marines from the
American fleet seized the custom
house, raised the American flag and
skirmished with the Mexican garri-
rison.
AT first, the garrison appeared to
be Withdrawing. American Consul
Canada reported this to the state de-
partment at IL o'clock, but when the
American troops reached the custom
house the Mexicans opened with
rifle and artillery fire. The cruiser
Prairie Immediately began shelling
the Mexican positions, slowly driving
them out. The Mexicans fought from
house to house along the streets.
Rear Admiral Fletcher, command
ing the United States warships, pre-
faced his occupation of the port by a
demand thru the American Consul
wv. w. Canada for it's surrender
General Mas promptly declined to
accede to this demand, and shortly
afterwards, ten whaleboats were
sent of from the side of the Prairie
loaded with marines.
These boats effected landing in
the neighborhood of the custom
house before noon. and a few min
utes later Captain William r. Rush,
of the battleship Florida, who was
in command of operations ashore.
brought his flag in.
Captain Rush's men already had
taken up their positions. They num-
bered $50 bluejacke5s from the Flor
ida, $50 marines from the Prairie
kRnd 65 marines from the Florida.
Hastez these were augmented by a
detachmen fro IN the Utah. The
coming of the american force was
not heralded by any great excite
ment, but small crowds gathered to
watch the landing. Soon the blue
jackets and m3.rines marched thru
the streets aiding from the water
front and along the railroad yards.
Others proceeded to the American
consulate, while still others were
deployed in approaches to the CEN
trail plaza. in which General Mas
had concentrated his men. These
maneuvers were without opposition.
but suddenly General Mas challeng-
ed the advance with the first shots
a volley fired from point three
blocks from the marines and two
blocks from the main plaza. The
marines replied Immediately, but
their action ceased in moment.
There was lull for ten minutes and
than another brief exchange from
nkhe west end of Montesinose street.
