Both Ill with tuberculosis, She Takes

Chicago, Dec. 29.-George Hendry, tn.
bereuloss victim, is en- route to a new
lease of life in Colorado sanatorium
to-day, unconscious of the fact that the
little woman whose sacrifice gave him
fresh hope lies in coffin.
Hendry and his wife, Rose, both tu-

the city of Chicago to work through the
political preliminaries and build a much
talked of milIion-dollar tubercular sana-
forum. Finally they grew discouraged
and went to doctor.
Both of you 90 straight to Colorado
said the doctor. It's suicide for you to
stay here
A slender bank account made it i'm
possible for both to go. Hendry begged
his wife to take the next train. She
refused and over his protest packed his
kissed him good bye and saw
him off to the train.
Two hours later neighbors found Mrs.
Hendry dead in her bedroom The win
dows were down and three gas jets wide

REINDEER AND FSKIMoS.
Industry Has Made the Alaskans Civil
lied and Thrifty.

In 20 years the reindeer industry has
made the Eskimos of Alaska civilized
and thrifty men" says the United States
bureau OF education in bulletin just is
sued
The reindeer industry began in Alaska
in 1892, when the bureau OF education
imported from Siberia III reindeer. The
object of the importation. according to
the bulletin. was to furnish source Of
supply for food and clothing 10 the Is.
kimos in the vicinity OF Bering strait.
This importation WAS continued untIl
1902, and a total OF $50 reindeer were
brought from Siberia. There are now
47.266 reindeer distributed among 81
herds. and 30.532 of these are owned BY
the natives.
This industry has given to the Alas
kan Eskimos not only food and clothing
but means OF transportation superior
TO dog teams. Instead of being nomadie
hunters eking out a precarious existence
on the vast untimbered lands OF the Arc
tic coast region, the Eskimos.' accord
ing to the bureaus bulletin. NOW have

The reindeer industry is carefully
guarded. mo native is permitted to sell
or otherwise dispose Of female rein
deer to any person other than native
of Alaska" This is done. the bulletin
states. Test white men deprive the ma
tives Of their reindeer and destroy this
great native industry which the bureau
OF education has in the last 20 years
built up and fostered"
The reindeer service Is an integral part
OF the educational system OF the bureau

VILLA FIGHTS
FOR TUXPAN
Concentrates There, Quit
ting the Ebano At
tack
is A SEAPORT
SOUTH OF TAMPICO
Mexico City Being Evacuat-
ed, Says One Re-
port

Washington, Dec. 20.--General Villas
forces have suspended their attacks OF
Ebano, near Tampico, and have concen
trated their attack on the seaport Of
Tuxpan, where fighting was in progress
yesterday, according to advices to the
state department
The Carranza agency here yesterday
published the following telegram received
! from Carranza representatives at Calves
| ton:
"Semi-otlicial reports here, although
not confirmed, say that due to lack OF
| communications the Villa forces are
evacuating Mexico City. 1t is believed
they are doing this on account of the
crying need of forces in the north to
save lines of communication and to pre-
vent Torreon, Chihuahua and Juarez
from being captured. Villa would pre-
fer to engage in battle outside OF the
capital with Carranza' army of 100000
men lying between here and Mexico
City.
"Eulalio Gutierrez, through a commits
sion, has authorized Antonio |. Nillareal
as president of the now extinct Aguas-
calientes convention to accept his resig-
nation as provisional president and to
notify Carranza that his services will be
at the orders of the first chief.
"The wherea bouts of Gutierrez are now
not definitely known, but it is believed
he is making his way toward San Luis
Potosi. This action on the part of Gut
ierrez, which is being followed by many
OF his subordinates, is thought to ac-
count i'll part also for Villas hurried con
centration in the north.
at was officially reported to the war
department that half OF the Torreon gar
rison, which is enveloped by loyal forces,
has revolted against Villa, and is fight
ing the other half in the name of Car
rama
The state department had no adyiccs
Sunday from Mexico City, but Mr.. Llor-
ente said that he had telegram from
General Villa TO the effect that harmony
prevailed between Gutierrez and all the
chiefs. Llorente. therefore, thought that
the statement issued by the private sec
rotary TO Gutierrez, charging Villa with
of orders, was due to a mis-
understanding which could not have re-
suited in anything serious.
Agents of General Villa here announce
hat the Green Book" the latest diplo- |
matte paper dealing with the Mexican
revolution, will be issued this week. 1t |
was said that General Villa would ex-
plain in the publication why he is op- |
posing General Carranza and would |
make public certain hitherto secret doeu- |
nents designed to prove that had Car.
rama been made president he would |
,ave repudiated his pledges to the peo-
Die and ruled the country as dictator.

SAVE MONEY IN SHIPPING.
Producers Lose Much BY Not Under
standing Market Condition.

Princeton, n j.. Dec. 29-Co-ordina
ton in distributing commodities will dc
much toward reducing the cost of liv-
ing and bring greater profits to the farm
er, DR.. Royal Meeker, United States com
missioner on labor statistics, told the
members of the American Economic as
ISOLATION in convention here to-day.
While DR.. Meeker admitted that farm
ers doubtless had lost money through
dealing with INSCRIPTIONS marketmen
many losses were attributable to failure
to acquaint themselves with market con
ditions before shipping.
"The great majority of cases in which
farmers have shipped produce to com
mission merchants and have received lit
tie or nothing in return are not cases of
dishonesty at all, he said. "In most in
stances the loss is due to ignorance of
market conditions bad packing, bad Sc
lecting and grading, or poor transporta-
ton arrangements. There is an almost
perfect lack of co ordination in distrib-
uting commodities. The resulting waste
is stupendous
"Cantaloupes were shipped last August
into Washington in such quantities that
them. On one day SO carloads Of peaches
We're dumped into st. Louis, which ordi-
marilv can absorb about Is or Is car
loads a day during the peach season.
One hundred sixteen carloads OF apples
struck New York City one day last
month. The market was so glutted that
apples from North Easton, Pa, netted
only about II cents per bushel. At this
time the consumer was paying Sl.60 to
50 barrel for bad apples, while the pro-
ducer was receiving from Ia to II cents
per bushel for good apples.
"The differential is enormous but it
represents wastes rather than profits.
The fault is due mostly to a lack OF CO.
ordination in our economic system. and
scarcely at all to the dishonesty of IN
dividuals. The solution can be achieved
neither by prosecution of COMMISSIONER
nor by elimination of them, but by or
ganization OF the market. but the law
can effect some improvements by lcens-
ing and bonding commission merchants
and subiecting them to fedora inspec-
ton.
"A more important step is TO organize
the farmers into local cooperative asso-
Citations. The federal department of ag-
riculture is doing good service 10 encour
age the formation OF such marketing as
sociations. of which there are about 500
at present in the United States. The !
objects of such associations should be TO |
determine the crops to be grown, to in
sist on proper methods OF growing. TO |
standardize and guarantee the quality. 10 /
81 perintcnd gathering, grading and pack
ing, 90 arrange for transportation and /
terminal facilities. and &c bargain with l
railroads for fair freight rates"
Reduction Of transportation charges on
perishabe foodstuffs also was advocated
by Dr.. Meeker.
