MRS. SHAFROTH A STUDENT

IF I could, ! should like to go to
college always" said Mrs. John +.
Shafroth, wife Of the senator from
Colorado, In Washington the other
day. This reminds me of story
once heard about man who was left
legacy with an income to be- paid as
long as he should continue to remain
in college. The story went on to say
that at the age Of eighty the man was
still In college.
Now, l have no such Interior mo-
tive as that. but l love teachers and
all that pertains to study. l should
count 1t the greatest joy if l had time
to take college course every year"
All of which brings one abruptly to
consideration Of the question why
our western women have such active
and alert mentalities. Is it because
the climate of the West is intensely
mVlgorative, and therefore stimuia-
tive Of mind as well as body, or it is
that the Inheritance Of a pioneer te.
nacity from their mothers and grand.

The duchess OF Marlborough in an
interview in London the other day on
the aims OF the Women's Municipal
party, Of which she Is the president,
said:
That women have for so long held
aloof from the active exercise of the
vote in local government is due to the
fact that they do not realize the value
of political unity. Now the St Mary

association has been the means OF
showing us what vigor women can
bring into the political life of London,

IF ALL CABLES WERE CUT

Seend Upon America.

Suppose one Of the belligerent ma
lions of Europe grappled and cut the
cables that link the new world and

of American
A blanket Of silence would descend
upon US. Communication by mall and
the still uncertain communication BY
wireless would be our only source OF
news. Even the mail would be liable
to serious delays and interruption, pos
sibly to complete dlscontinuance. The
paralyzing effect of such isolation may
be imagined. II would strike at busi-
ness. It would leave to the guesswork
Of feverish fancy the welfare Of friends
and relatives abroad. II would make
void the columns Of the newspapers
on the one topic Of uttermost concern
to all readers.
Nor IL this q vain superstition. The
thing IL possIble-indeed, not improb-
able. The reason for such action would
be the fear that tidings Of military

Francis Ferdinand, did not dare to
eliminate from the army, aware OF
the reputation which he enjoyed as
one Of the most capable Of Austrian
commanders Yet the two men were
barely on speaking terms.
Two other archdukes who are called
upon play q role In the present war
are Archduke Leopold Salvador, who
as inspector general Of artillery has
done much to place this branch OF the
service on an excellent footing. and
Archduke Eugene, grand master Of
the Teutonio order, who is In chief
command Of the landwehr of both
Austria and Hungary.
Gen. Conrad Won Hotzendorff, as
chief Of the general stan OF the Aus
trian army. is likewise q very promi-
nent figure in the great war in Eu-
rope. A wonderful organizer, a soldier
Of the Field Marshal Won Moltke and
Kitchener type, insisting that every
thing In connection with the Austrian
army shall work with clocklike pre-
cision and that nothing shall be left
to chance, It Is to him that has been
confded by Emperor Francis Joseph
the task OF preparing for the present
conflict. Indeed he spent several
weeks in April last very quietly at O
small resort near Carlsbad with Cen
eral Won Moltke, chief of the general
stan Of the German army, celebrating
plans for the present joint action of
tho German and Austrian armies
against Russia and France.
He stands particularly high in the
confidence Of his sovereign. who has
the very highest opinion Of his ability.
Indeed on the several occasions when
he resigned his position as chief Of
the general staff in consequence OF
his differences with the late Archduke
Francis Ferdinand, with whom he was
continually at variance, the old en-
peror insisted upon his remaining at
his post, would not hear of his going
and upheld him against his nephew.

Farm Facts.

BY Peter Radford. National Lecturer Far
mers' Educational & Cooperative Un-
ion Of America.
Where there is a silo there is
prosperity.
There is not enough of the
community spirit among our ru-
raj districts.
The waste of effort through
impractical methods of farming
10 the greatest tragedy of the age
Something is wrong in our
marketing system when a small
crop brings more money than a
bountiful one.
Cooperation between practical
farmers and proficient business
men will eliminate ignorance and
prejudice.
The nations menu must be
made up from the fields, pastures,
orchards and gardens, and to farm
intelligently the farmer must
know what is needed.
We must give the same care
and consideration to a system of
cooperative laws, extending to
the farmer the facilities adapted
to his business that is now afford
ed corporations.
Farm tenancy is the greatest
menace now confronting the ma
tion and can only be checked by
affording the tenant and laborer
facilities for acquiring property
and by reducing the high rates of
interest which are now sapping
the vitality of agriculture.

DRYS WIN IN MUNcIE. IND:
AID GIVEN BY MANY WOMEN

Muncie, Ind, March 10.-As a result
of yesterdays local option election
Muncie will become the largest dry
city in the state of Indiana within 90
days, as provided by law. A bitter
campaign waged for several months
terminated in a victory at the polls
yesterday for the dry" forces by a
majority of 49, votes. In the 1911
election the "wets" won by a major
ity of 504.
Determined to reverse the condition
at the polls yesterday hundreds of
women took part in the election and
served luncheon and hot coffee
Eight arrests were made during the
progress of the election cor attempting
TO vote illegally. The "drys" were
protected against ''floaters' and had a
hundred deputy sheriffs in use during
the day, and carried two7thirds of the
precincts, with the wet" majority in
the other third cut very low
An effort of the mayor to check
mate the deputy sheriffs at the polls
by declaring they had no power to
make arrests was frustrated by the
appearance of the sheriff in person,
who. after a heated argument, con-
vinced the city executive that he had
full power to be assisted by deputies
