That a woman can conduct q dairy
farm most successfully is nicely proved
in the case of Mrs. Sarah Yoakam Of
Coos county. near Marshfield. Ore,
whose husband. a prominent rancher.
was killed by a vicious bull some thir-
teen years ago. In the years interven-
ing since she and her two daughters
have conducted and developed the dai-
~ business in which her husband was
engaged. For a good share Of the time.
they have done all the work on the
farm. including the care Of the dairy
herd and the securing Of the farm
crops. The farm is equipped with up
to date dairy conveniences and build
ings, and the mistress of the farm puts
her net annual income at $4,000 be-
sides a very comfortable living In a
modern and convenient home. For
some time Mrs. Yoakam was deputy
dairy inspector. and in this capacity
her wide awake methods attracted
much attention. While she has made
a decided success Of the dairy bust
ness, she attributes 1t to business
Judgment and a lot Of good hard work.

trayed Manuel for money and I'm,

was affected by the tragedy.
Another shock besides the assassina-'

Taking up a newspaper one morning
while at breakfast. l saw under large
headlines q statement that. Inez had
been stabbed in her carriage while
returning to her home from the opera.
She had been escorted to the carriage
by an official high in favor at court.
who had closed the door. On arriving
at her HON, it was found ajar. and
the lady had been stabbed to the heart.

Spain who knew-by inference-who
had stabbed Inez. Fearing that the
government might get a clew and l be
summoned for a witness. l decided to
get away as soon as possible. T left

Those in close touch with the egg
situation are predicting a price Of a
lollar a dozen for fresh eggs before
the winter is over. This prediction
is based on the fact that fewer eggs
we're placed in storage the past spring
and summer owing to the unsatisfac-
tory outcome of the egg deal the pre-
ceding winter. Coupled with this is
the further fact that the use of strictly
fresh eggs is coming more into favor.
If this prophecy should be anywhere
near fulfilled it will mean that those
who have focks Of laying hens would
do well to give them the best of a
with a view to egg production.

WASHINGTON HOPEFUL
Bryan Thinks Prospects for Settle
ment Better Than Ever.

WASHINGTON, Sept. SO-Advices from
Mexico City and Chihuahua, General
Villas headquarters, brought assurances
to the Washington Administration that
the conference at Torreon today between
Villa and representatives of Provisional
President Carranza would avert the up
henval In Mexico threatened by Villas
declaration of independence and bring
peace at last to the republic.
Dispatches from Mexico carried the
news that Villa, on his way to meet the
ENJOYS of Carranza, had declared that
everything Is working satisfactorily"
and that peace soon would be established
This information caused Secretary Bryan
and othei" administration officials to de-
clare the prospects for the end of strife
in Mexico were brighter than ever
1t was expected by the Washington
Government that the conference would
agree on Provisional Presidcnt--prob-
ably Fernando Iglcsias Calderon--so
that his name could be placed before
the convention soon TO be held In Mex-
leo City to set up a new Government for
the country.

PENROSE IGNORED
BY THE REPUBLICANS
OF CHESTER COUNTY
Only Enthusiasm at Commit
tee Meeting Evoked by
Mention of Brumbaugh and
Announcement of Intended
Visit.

WEST CHESTER, Sept. Ex-senator
has gone wrong when he learns that the
county Republican Executive Commit
tee, at it's meeting here yesterday, for
got to adopt resolutions in behalf of his
candidacy and proclaim the great service
he has performed for the nation, as has
always been the custom of the commit
tee when In session in the past.
When one of the committeeman hinted
soto voice that resolution be adopted
pledging the Senator the support of Ches-
ter County Republicans, he was quietly
told that there would be no resolution
offered.
In the meeting room there is a large
portrait of Doctor Brumbaugh, and also
one of MIR. Penrose. At the close of the
proceedings. a large group took stand
before the formers portrait and said nice
things of him, telling each other what
they meant to do on November 3, in see
ing that the Doctor got the full votes
of their respective precincts. The
portrait of Penrose was unnotlced.
Larry Eyre. always head and front of
meetings of the County Committee, was
present, and in few words, fewer than
he has ever known TO utter on such oc-
cas!ons before. pointed to the great vic
tory in store for the c. o. p, and urged
every member to activity from now until
the election. There was some applause
on mis- lallyins note. but it wasn't of the
whole-souled order that was once heard
in the committee. when Mr.. Eyre called
the faithful to the party colors
The meeting was decidedly short in en-
thusiasm, aside from warm feeling for
Doctor Brumbaugh. Chairman Fred Mac
Donald announced that Doctor Brum-
baugh would come into the county be-
tween now and the close OF the cam
paign and he would speak at several
places, and this announcement was met
with real applause.

Democrats who voted at the Republican
primaries and assisted in nominating the
legislative candidates in number of
districts intend to vote for them in the

is the question which Is now agitating
some of the Republicans, and they have
not round an answer. 1t is known that
IN this city large number OF Demo-
Gratis either voted or attempted to vote
at the primaries in certain districts. In
one district the vote Of one Democrat
was challenged and there came near be-
ing trouble.
IN some of the country districts it Ia
alleged the same thing occurred and some
declare that the wet" people went be-
mind the Democrats and assisted in maxi
ing the nominations. Some Republicans
are inclined to think the thing was n
trick but others believe the Democrats
are tired of their own party on account
of the hard times and intend to vote the
Republican ticket For that reason they
took part in the Republican primaries.
Under the primary election laws of this
State man who registers within GER
tain time has right to vote at the pri-

ELECTION PROBE REFUSED
Judge Johnson Dismisses Delaware
County Grand Jury's Information.

MEDIA, Pa. Sept 30-Judge Johnson
late yesterday afternoon refused to
permit the Delaware County Grand Jury
to probe alleged election frauds in the
Sixth Ward. Chester. The Grand Jury
came before the courts with information
that it had been furnished affldavits that
a chain system had been worked in the
Sixth Ward, Chester. That is to say,
the first voter would go into a booth with
blank ballot which he would deposit
In the ballot box. The legal ballot he
would take away and this would be
marked for the next voter, who in turn
retained the official ballot handed him.
In this way ballots of many voters could
be Illegally marked.
In refusing to allow the Grand Jury to
Investigate, Judge Johnson said:
Under the law members consider only
such matters as are regularly brought
before 1t or which come within the per-
sonal knowledge of the members"
The Grand Jury then submitted its re-
port and was discharged for the term
