Wallace, of Des Moines, Iowa. former
head Of the National Conservation
Congress. and editor of Wallace's
Farmer, speaking before 500 farmers at
the Bay View summer school OF agri-
culture.
City people continue TO hope for
lower prices on foodstuffs and CLOTH
ing materials. But country people real
ize they have been selling their pro-
duce at half price for too long. Even
the recent increases do not begin to
compensate for the higher prices the
farmer has to pay for machinery.
transportation. labor and modern utili-
ties.
The fact that cities like Chicago
and New York City contain more peo-
pie than all the rest of their states
territory, and that Cleveland and Gin
cinnati could dominate Ohio. shows
conciusively that city life is easier ano
more remunerative than farm life
Every city strike has brought higher
wages. But the farmer has long la
bored against the heaviest odds. And
only now is beginning to make little
money.

are entitled to. Retired farmers rent

The ever increasing /, poverty OF
American soil, the richest to begin

Only Producers Known to Husbandry

Cost Of Feed.

II people knew what a great source
of profit Is found in the keeping of
bees and how interesting the work.
there wouldn't be an unused square
foot of ground on any farm in the
United States.
Bees are the only producers known
to husbandry that yield a profit with
out cost of feed. They find their own
p~asturage. They multiply so rapidly
that they nor than pay for the small
initial expense of housing them, and
the first cost of equipment is almost
triiing.
Bee culture may be made profitable
by the children of the farm. or by the

or the growing of fruit. In the latter

Followed Her Vanished Nest.

This story of a thrush that missed,
and caught its train comes from Lima
vady, in Ulster. Ireland. The bird had
built its nest under a first-class car
riage Immediately over the steam heat
ing pipe, and Notwithstanding that the
carriage travelled between Limavady
and Londonderry, the nest contained
four eggs.
The institution of the summer serv-
Ice of trains caused trouble. The car
riage left Londonderry in the evening
at A: 40 instead of 1850, and when the
mother thrush, who had presumably
been On a foraging expedition, re-
turned, she found carriage, nest and
eggs had disappeared. She was no
ticed at Londonderry in apparent dis.
tress. and the station master apprised
Limavady of the circumstances and
asked the railway people there to look
out for the bird. suggesting that she
would probably arrive by the next
train. The bird duly arrived at Lima
vady either by train or air and re
sumed her task OF Matching the eggs.
The sympathetic railway officials
have decided to withdraw the carriage
from service pending the Matching Of
the eggs.

In following the newspaper &C.

clusion that their recent statement
setting forth the attitude OF General
Huerta towards demands for his re.

some quarters. II had been said that
under the language of his pledge to
retire when the country was politi

insist on holding office until all guer-

On that account another statement
was issued by the ranking member OF

HUERTKS ACTION
MAY CAUSE WAR
MEDIATION PROCEEDINGS MAY
BE DISRUPTED BY ATTEMPT TO
BLOCKADE TAMPicO.
Government Maintains That Huerts
Does Not Have the Right Under
international Law to Close Port
n intercept Vessels.

Niagara Falls, Ont--Tampico once
more threatens the peace Of the
United States and Mexico. Fearful
that events may transpire there
possibly within the next forty-eight
hours-of a nature that may disrupt
mediation negotiations, many of the
principals of the conference here are
filed with apprehension.
The anxiety is provoked because OF
the situation in which the United
states has been placed by General
Huerta's determination to blockade
the port of Tampico to stop the land
ing Of munitions of war for constitu-
~tionalists.
The Washington government, 1t is
understood, feels that it must prevent
at all hazards the exercise of q block
ade by a government that is not rec
ognized as possessing the right to
perform such an act under interna-
tional law. Should the Huerta gun
boats attempt to intercept and search
vessels believed to have in their car
goes arms and ammunition for the
ca .stitutionalists, it is said here that
American wal vessel would interfere
as orders have for some time been
in the possessk a of Rear Admiral
Badger to keep Tampico open to com
MERGE. The gravity of the act by the
United States might even cause Gen
eral Huerta to withdraw his delegates
from the Niagara Falls conference.
