DETROIT, Nov. IA terrific gale
swept the Great Lakes and fears are
entertained for a score of vessels
known to be fighting the storm. Many
vessels, badly battered, docked here to-
day. The Steamship Colonial was
beached at Pardos, Lake Erie. She is
believed to be breaking to pieces. The
crew and a woman passenger reached
shore in Iife-bOats. Four steamers
are reported ashore in the Detroit RI
yer but it is believed they will weather
the storm. The steamer Oscoda was
wrecked in upper Lake Michigan and
is total loss. The crew was saved.

1t is expected that the two factions in
Mexico will compromise, but even if
the worst comes, it is believed one or
two general battles will settle the
question of supremacy. The admins

presence of American troops at Vera

they be recalled. The soldiers will

and scientific deductions of incalcuble
value to those engaged in the pursuit.
Professor Shaw is seventy-two years
of age, and all his life he has spent

subjects. He is the author of a dozen
books on allied agricultural subjects
and his active mind is working con-

Professor Shaw is devoted to live

farming area without, at least, cattle.
He believes that any country which
grows wheat will produce forage

development of hogs, horses, sheep and
cattle He is an able advocate of the
dual purpose COW. In terms of logic
and eloquence he defends the beef
