who has the final say in every national
movement
Feared Lord Kitchener.

The first great factor in the change Of
affairs in Egypt In undoubtedly the per-
sonality OF the man under whose direction
and Inspiration these reforms have been
carried out Lord Kitchener was At irst
feared by the people. and by some OF
them his arrival was received with sulien
silence. but very soon this an changed.
and the straight. frank manner OF the
consul general won them over. and now
the poorest man in the land finds In this
great general a counselor and friend. The
feilah from his waffle home goes straight
to Lord Kitchener to air mis- grievances
and he always finds hearing at the
agency. and the lord" as the feilah in
sists on calling him, has become a syno-
nym for justice and equity.
For years the fellah has been. by his
improvident habits. the easy prey of the
foreign moneylenders. Interest has been
demanded by these bloodsuckers up to
80 and 10 per cent and IL II was not
forthcoming the crops were seized and the
fellah was turned out of house and home
Lord Kitchener. having seen much the
same state of things in India. introduced a
law that had been tried and tested there
1t Is known in Egypt as the five feddan
law Feddan is the Arabic word fr:
acre. and the law prevents the seizure of
a mans land by his criditors if he owns
five acres or less land.
When the law was first introduced II
was hailed with storm or criticism
from every section of the community.
Egyptians and Europeans united in de-
nouncing the scheme as impossible and
unavoidable. The law at one blow de-
prived 100000 individuals of credit. for
their only credit was the small parcel
Of ground they owned and on which
they lived. In this way. ~ per cent OF
the land was protected from compul-
sorry sale and distraint, and this has. in
measure. prevented the possibility OF
over a million acres OF land from pass
Ing out of the hands of the natives into
the possession OF foreigners. This. at
first. hit the fellah very hard. and both
last year and this he had very great
difficulty In raising the money with which
to live. and in some cases men have
been compelled to sell parts of their
land to raise some money. but on the
whole the fellah is facing the new sit
| uation, and already he recognizes the
value Of the new law. and Is seeking
to cut his coat according to his cloth.

Cotton Honestly Weighed.

Arising out Of this larger scheme o
number OF smaller laws have been in
troduced. 1t is now Illegal for a money
lender to receive more than per cent on
his money. During the cotton season
the fellah was often at the mercy of the
inscriptions merchants, who used false
weighing machines Last year large cot
ton yards were opened throughout the
cotton growing districts. and the best
weighing machines that money could
buy We're fitted up in them.
Another far-reaching scheme intro
duced last year is the founding of The
cantonal courts. These courts are a
very simple method of administering JUS
tice. For the first time. local village no
tables have been appointed as magis-
trates to try small cases of disputes as
saults and debts. These rustic magis-
trates have very restricted powers but
they are serving an excellent purpose.
as they are keeping out of the proper
courts scores of cases that in former
days, were heard before a judge and
ought never to have been brought into
court at all. These magistrates act
more as peacemakers than as administra-
tors of justice.
tves are slowly being trained along the
lines of self-government. The provin-
cial councils have now much more power
than they used to have. per cent
tax on land has brought in a goodly sum
that Is now controlled entirely by these
councils and they are making very good
use OF the money. Schools are rising up
all over the country. and never before
has SO much been done for the education
of the people Agricultural and indus
trial schools are quite a new feature in
the delta, and wherever they have been
established they have proved a huge sue
cess.
Fellah Not a Politician.
The feIlah Of Egypt is not politician.
and he takes little or no real interest In
elections or politics. When the Arab
rebellion was in full swing, and British
and Egyptian troops were fighting at
Tel-el-Kebir. the fellah went on filling his
land as though nothing was happening.
and SO he acted In every national crisis
till he was told by the nationalists that
the cause Of all his troubles and ills
was the British. and that IL they were
expelled all would come right
The fellah gave the idea a trial. and he
soon saw what miserable failure the
whole thing was. He saw through the
illogical arguments Of the politicians.
and when Lord kitchener came on the
scene and began to right the wrongs Of
the fellah. the nationalists found their
and the very allegiance that they once
held has now in a large degree been
transferred to Lord Kitchener and his
stan. All the people ask for is good gov
eminent, and now they have got 1t they
are as contented as children and are
loud in their praises Of the man who
has brought order out Of chaos-in fact.
the most popular man in Egypt today is

LONDON, May 23.-Lord Kitchener
who is now on his way home from
Egypt on leave. Is again spoken Of as
the next Viceroy Of India. He will be
just the man india is waiting for If
he makes good there. as he has in
Egypt. where he has brought the
country out of chaos to the light. Many
Americans who have been in the habit
Of going to Egypt every winter tell me
of the wonderful changes Kitchener
has made, and how he has practically
regenerated the country. That he will
do the same much-needed work in In
dia cannot be doubted.
1t was in the autumn Of 1911 Lord
Kitchener's appointment to Egypt was
announced, and he began work exactly
two days before the Turco-Italian war
opened. Never was an appointment
more opportune.
During the previous two years the
nationalists had grown in numbers
rapidly, and in their numerous news
papers they were holding up the Brit
ish occupation of the country as the
most hateful Of all expressions Butros
Pasha, the only native Christian prime
minister the country has ever had, was
foully murdered on the steps of Abdin
palace by a young nationalist. and the
assassin was extolled as a hero and
type Of the true patriot.

EccEN1RIcI1Y OF GENIUS. :.
In tho Days That Az Gone II May
Have Been Due to Eye Strain.

In tho Days That Az Gone II May
Have Been Due to Eye Strain.
It seems that at last genius is dis
covered not to be allied to insanity, but
that rather all it's eccentricities are due
to eye strain.
Brain specialists. for instance, are as.
sorting. that if Carlyle had had proper
ly adjusted glasses and good electric
light to work by instead Of a skylight
over his desk, and that illumined by a
London fog much of the time, he
would not have been such a grumbler
and dyspeptlc. In fact, eye strain was
the cause of all his eccentricities.
All geniuses, in fact, would have
been optimistic, says science now, If
they had only had bifocal glasses at
the right time. The same unnormal
eyesight is given as the cause.o of many
tragic paintings. That famous artist,
Turner, would never have painted the
slave ship in a storm, but would rather
have depicted the peaceful landscapes
that SO many artists paint when their
eyes are properly fitted with glasses.
Wagner, too. If he had worn the cor
rect s]pectacles and had had that decid-
ed tilt to one eye remedied. probably
would never have written about Wal
kyrie and dragons, but would have
written pleasant. dances and even
ragtime instead. 20 ia. ..r VI
Darwin also was another victim of
eye strain. Doubtless he would never
have given to the world his theory of
evolution which stirred society up IL
his eyes had been normal. d,
De. Quincy suffered from bad eyes.
Surely he would never have taken
opium If he had had glasses. But
then, on the other hand. the world
would have missed his opium dreams.
And. after all Is considered, scientists
conclude society could better dispense
with spectacles than with geniuses.-

North DakOt&sfarmers will this year
plant the biggest corn crop in the
history of the Slater The reports CON-
ing in from many sources state that
slightly less wheat IS being sown this
year and that the corn average is be-
ing much increased. A
AT no. time !. has there
been, SO much ho1ne. grown
seed in North Dakota az. this
year. Last fan the county reipresen-
tatrves OF the Better Farming Section
OF the North Dakota Experiment Sta

counties urging the farmers to save
seed corn. In some ,counIfss..seed corn
Sundays were held. On this Sunday
all the ministers preached on corn.
In other counties seed corn week was
observed, The county representative

the farmer would select seed from his

Boys Contest Beneficial.
The result from the boys acre yield
contest conducted by the Eetter Farm

pertinent Station last year brought out
yields that have shown the possibili-
ties Of corn production in the State.

other good yields reported has demon
strated what can be done; with corn

One of the most outstanding points in
connection with the highGyieldsa was
that the seed was grown and had .eel
grown on the farm for a number of
years and bred up. sE
This emphasizes the Importance Of
having so much home grown seed in
the State. ...a
North Dakota will this year set a
new record in its corn production.
Farmers are realizing as never before
the value of the corn crop. 1t is one
of the surest crops. 1t returns more
forage per acre than any othe annual
crop. 1t will in a favorable fall pro-
duce more grain per acre than the
grain crops and it leaves the land in
an ideal condition for growing a good
crop of grain.
