arm people who in justice would
chastise your crimes. The constitu-

Federal Troops Massed.
Washington, May 6.-Brig.. Gen.
Funston from Vera Cruz has reported
to the war department that an in
creasing large number of federal
| troops under Gen. Mass are being
massed between Vera Cruz and Mex
leo City. Administration officials here
frankly fear an attack upon Vera Cruz.
| Should such an attack be made 1t was
predicted that Gen. Funston would be
ordered to make an immediate ad-
vance backed by marines and blue
| Jackets.
President Wilson and Secretary of
State Bryan held a two hour confer
ence yesterday on the Mexican situa-
averred that the situation was still
/ hopeful. Plans of the general army
staff, calling for the immediate dis
patch of 1900 coast artillery and or
ganized infantry to Vera Cruz are in
President Wilson's hands
Delay is Dangerous.
| Rear Admiral Badger notified the
navy department that delay in push
| ing American outposts to Mexico City
will cost thousands of American lives.
| Barbed wire distractions and mines
have been placed across the line of
march by the federals under Gen.
Mass. Both Gen. Funston and Adj
miral Badger are said to have urged
an immediate occupation of the Mex
f, lean capital and the dispatch of more
troops to Vera Cruz.
| The tension and uneasiness in
Washington were increased by dis
| patch from Admiral Mayo at Tanpico,
saying that general hostilities had
| been resumed with frequent firing in
an American attack at that point is
predicted.

Nelson O'Shaughnessy, former charge
d'affaires in Mexico City, when he ar
rived here on Tuesday from Mexico
City, via Vera Cruz. His wife and
child accompanied him. A messenger
boy waited at the dock all night with
a telegram which O'Shaughnessy said
was from Secretary Bryan, instruct
ing him to rush to Washington with
all possible speed.
Il don't expect to be sent back to
Mexico City," he said. "They usually
send back new man."
Asked his opinion of Huerta, he said
that his dealings with him were large
ly of business nature and he could
not express an opinion.

left" he added. "Huerta had held UP
my mail and kilograms for two days"

N DAIRYMAN with a poor herd
~ receives quite a large check at
the end of the month and he
may fail to distinguish between re-
ceipts and net profit. This delusion
has been the cause Of many a
failure.
All over this country are individu-
al dairymen whose success is notice
able. One dairyman lost a 120acre
farm in keeping 20 cows that pro-
duced two to four cans of milk per
day, hiring two men.
His successor on the same farm
hired three men, kept SO cows and
produced 30 cans Of milk per day
during the flush Of the season, one
months return being $40. This is
an example of brain fertility and not
soil fertility.

Making Money with Beef

scientific agricultural lines. The
calves will be raised and the feed
for them will be grown, as far as
possible, on the farm. 1t is pre-
dicted that the shortage Of beef ami
mails will compel other packing firms
also to become producers of meat
animals. If they can see money in
the business, why should not farm
ers? Will the farmers sit idly at
home and allow packers to come out
into the country and beat them at
their own farming game? Some will,
and some will take the hint and be-
gin to breed and stock up to meet
the present urgent demands for
good beef animals. The general
farmer ought to be in position to
grow and finish beef cattle cheaper
than packing firms can. Time will
tell.
OF late years the price Of corn has
advanced even greater proportion
ately than meat animals. Many
who fed their grain to live stock a
few years ago now sell the grain
direct. This, no doubt, is one of
the greatest reasons why farmers
have decreased their live stock oper-
ations. They can secure more cash
in hand for their grain and hay on
the open market than they can real
ize for them through beef cattle
feeding. Present gains are greater
through straight grain farming
They do not stop to consider the
future.
The Profitable Side.
With good beef breeds and the
best of handling and with balanced
rations, the net profit on a single
finished steer is but $40 to SIS, Of
ten less. The average farmer con-
siders that he had worked for moth
ing when he puts 500 in feeds into
a steer that will sell for only $110.
: But the profitable side Of beef grow
ing, or the growing and feeding Of
any animals on the farm, comes
| through marketing the home grown
: feeds through the animals in con-
densed form and the securing of
!, manure as valuable by-product.
} Considering the future good Of the
farm, the farm owner can well af-
, ford to put 500 in feeds into a
: beef steer that sells at maturity for
only 800.
| In this way he has received full
, cash market price for his feeds with
out hauling them to market, and in
addition he has received in the
= neighborhood Of from $40 to SIS in
manure, which is banked in the soil
to be drawn upon later. The farmer
e to make money with beef steers and
o beef cattle in general must handle
r them on comparatively large scale
consistent with the size of his farm
and he must purchase and use con
I centrates to balance his homegrown
feeds. Cattle feeding is means o.
marketing the field products eco
nomically, and of fertilizing the
fields at the same time for growing
larger and better crops.--H. P. W.

Open Column
POst-SeasOn Football.

Editor The Missourian:-The re-
cent football game played in St
Louis between Rolla and Christian
Brothers College is likely to bring
up the fine point of just who runs
a school, the students or the faculty.
The authorities at Rolla forbade the
playing of the game, but the stu
dents wanted it. The game was
played.
The aftermath may be expected
with considerable interest as set
ting a precedent for future action
In cases like this. There was a clear
division of opinion, with the stu
dents united and resolved to strike
if the football boys were suspended.
Looking at it from strictly neu-
trail point of view, in a manner of
speaking, it might be asked: just
how many students would the
School of Mines really lose If the
football team should be cast out
and all the others be kept in?
Also. why call Saturdays fracas
a settlement of the state champion
ship? Lots of people would like to
see the Miners meet the rejuvenated
Missouri Tigers again.
Why worry about post-season
football, anyway? 1t is over and
the snow is on the ground.-C. e. X.

QUIT SEWING ON PATCHES.

A clamor goes up against the abb
surdity of the law now and then
when a man, pronounced guilty by
Ia jury. is granted a new trial on
ltechnicalities, is retired and set
free. why don't the judges use a
Ilittle common sense when they ap-
|ply the antiquated precepts?" asks
the man who throws away his chew
Ia block from home and thinks he
lis fooling his wife into believing he
has quit the habit she so detests.
Well, common sense varies
with individuals, with the weather.
with the kinds of food eaten. Get
|out on the wrong side of the bed
some morning and you will discov-
|er that your common sense is of
plumb during the day. 1t was to

But all and all 1t is more equally
distributed when it has to follow
ironclad rules. The trouble is
with our state constitution.
The constitution was drawn up in
days when conditions were differ
ent. 1t is still fairly good old
rule book. but too bulky and not
exactly fitted to all the needs of
today. 1t is hard to see why it Is
necessary for all indictments to
end with the words against the
peace and dignity of the State a.
section 3S of article specifies.
A large number of the fourteen
articles and some twenty amend
ments could be worked over to ad-
vantage. A few amendments which
it does not seem possible to get
through at general elections would
make it far more efficient.
Just remember, when you feel in
clined to ridicule, the judges are
simply following the rules which
the people have told them to look
to-simply keeping their oaths to
support the constitution.
A convention for revising the
constitution is needed.
