patrol forces at Presidio, Texas, will

authorities, though those desiring to
remain in American territory will
have to- satisfy immigration officers.

Best Chance fortPoor Man

New York, Jan. 10.-The best
chance for poor man who hopes to
avoid the struggle for existence in a
big city is to apply to the United
States government for a farm in the
reclaimed public areas, G. J. Blanch-
ard told an audience in the Manhat-
tan club last night, Mr.. Blanchard is
the statistician of the United States
reclamation service.
Farm values have increased so
much, Mr.. Blanchard pointed out, that
it is practically impossible for a man
of small means to own q farm unless
he applies to the government for a
site on easy terms in the reclaimed
areas. Hundreds of men, many with
capital from $500 up, he said, have es-
tablished themselves in homes on
these projects and are now in sight
of independence and even wealth.

Fake Matrimonial Bureau

indianapolis, Jan. 9.-Emma and
Martin Farris, each nearly 20 years
old, of Princeton, Ind, indicted by the
federal grand jury here on the charge
of conducting fake matrimonial bu-
reau, appeared in the United States
district court today and asked permis-
sion to change their plea of not guilty
to guilty. The Judge granted the re-
quest and suspended sentence, saying
that he might impose fine on Farris
later.
Louise Farris, a daughter of the
couple and the principal figure in the
matrimonial bureau, who was indicted
with her parents, pleaded guilty when
arraigned about a month ago. Her
sentence also was suspended. The
girl played the part Of an heiress in
the system, and the authorities as
serted her photographs and letters led
to her engagement to more than so
men.

Suffraoists Plan Campaign

Washington, Jan. 11.-Plans for a

today by the Congressional Union for

that will, according to the suffrage
leaders, awaken the country as never
before to a realization Of the issue
and, If necessary, transfer the major
ity in congress to a party that will
stand for suffrage"
1t was decided at meeting of the
union today to transfer the energy of
the union to the west at the close of
the present session of congress. Ne
vada, Montana and the Dakotas were
named as the states upon which the
union will concentrate efforts to pro-
cure the adoption of votes for women.
When congress adjourns conference
of the women voters of the country
will be called, probably to meet in
Denver, to discuss methods to be en-
ployed.

Tricks in Poultry Business

Washington, Jan. 10.-Convinced
that the public has been innocently
purchasing great quantities of chick
ems "fattened" with rock and sand in
food mixtures by INSCRIPTIONS ship
pers, the department of agriculture Or
dered an investigation today into this
phase of the poultry business. The
people of New York city alone, the
department estimates, buy every week
from 100000 to 100000 pounds of rock
and sand substances. paying the pre-
vailing poultry market price.
1t is the belief of the department
that the practice exists among the
principal markets of the country.
According to the explanation of the
scheme the fowls when in shipment
are starved for a sufficient period to
give them ravenous appetites and two
or three hours before they are sold,
they are fed paste preparation COM
posed of wheat middlings and meat
mixed with sand and coarse gravel.

Bugs Cause Enormous Loss

Topeka, Kan, Jan. S.-Bugs, in
sects and worms cause a per capita
loss of over $50 year for every man,
woman and child in Kansas. Kansas
has just discovered what it's losses
really are and is preparing to wipe
out the causes. Here is the list of
causes: Chinch bag, Hessian fly, army
worm, coddling moth, San Jose scale
and numerous insects infesting gran.
aries and mills. Kansas loses about
$30,0OO,OOO a year from these insects.
In forty counties a chinch bug
burning campaign is now going on in
accordance with the proclamation of
Governor Hedges asking every farmer
to burn all piles of trash and grass
on his farm and at the same time
requiring the road officials to burn
all grasses along the highways. The
chinch bugs hibernate at the roots of
the grass and a hot fire kills them.
The Hessian fly is doing its great
est damage to the wheat in the fall
and winter. The eleven days of al
most continuous rains in November
has helped materially in eradicating
the fly because it cannot stand wet
weather.

CLARK IS SEvENTY-FNE
Montana Pioneer Has Achieved Great
Business Success

New York, Jan. 'S.-William A..
Clark of Butte and New York, million
aire, former U. S. senator from
Montana, and president or director
of more than score of mining COM
panies, railroads, and other big cor
porations, today passed the seventy
fifth milestone on his journey through
life. And it certainly has been some
journey, as the boys of the street
would say.
1t was a humble home, near Con.
nelsville, Pa, where the future mil
lionaire first saw the light of day in
1889. The age of twenty-one found
him teaching a country school in Mis-
souri,. One year later marked the
turn of the tide in his career. In
1862 he went to Colorado and from
there to Montana. He became inter-
ested in mining and met with marve-
lous success. Before many years had
passed "Clark of Montana" became
a name to conjure with in the west,
and it drew forth the golden boards
of Wall street. To have an income of
$1,OOO,OOO month, to manage gigan-
tic business corporations, to be a SEN
ator of the United States and to con-
troll the politics of the state of Mon.
tana-this is the lot that fell to the
former school teacher.
When he had his fill of politics and
public life Mr.. Clark came to New
York and built 125-room mansion
on Fifth avenue at a cost of $1,000, 900.
The house is one of the show places
in the metropolis. 1t is filled with one
of the finest art collections in Amer.
lea and contains every luxury that
wealth can buy. But the owner of the
great mansion occupies it only few
weeks in the year. The rest of his
time he resides in Washington or
spends in travel.
