WOMAN KNEW HOW
TO MAKE FARMS PAY
ReHuired Her Tenants to Diversity

That was an interesting story Mrs q.
II. Mathis. n woman farmer Of Ala

Mortgage Bankers Associations. says
the ST. Louis Giobc-DemOcrdt.
She included In contracts with tenants
provision for a specific acreage of hay.
corn. oats, potatoes, sweet corn. cab
bages. and other garden stun. She re-
quired the planting OF an early matur-
ing crop.
Each tenant was required to keep a
brood SOW, a COW. and brood mare.
and to raise mule colt. In other
words. each tenant was forced to raise
almost everything for the family table
and for the care of his work animals
instead OF buying supplies on credit at
exorbitant prices. We arc not sur
prised at the picture she drew Of the
betterment of conditions. material and
social. and her statement that her share
of tho cotton crop exceeded that OF the
average landlord.
Mrs Mathis seemed to be dealing with
tenants who nreferred the old methods.
But they must have been victims Of
habit. Most tenants complain that land
lords insist on every available acre be-

JUSTICE HUGHES OUT OF 1T

Mr.. Justice Hughes is one Of the
most available pieces Of Presiden-
tial timber within the Republican
party, for he has real strength,
based on his record and on public
knowledge of it, in all parts of the
country. But he does not want to be
nominated for President, and has re-
peatedly said as much. Some ad-
mirers in Nebraska having taken
steps to place his name on the pri-
mary ballot of that State, with a
view to getting delegation for him,
Justice Hughes formally asked the
Nebraska secretary of state, who
makes up the official ballot, to drop
the name. The secretary indicates
that he will acquiesce.
There may be room for differences
of opinion whether a man should be
allowed to dodge the draft for pub.
lie service. But Mr.. Justice Hughes
is in a peculiarly delicate position
He doubtless feels that if he assent.
ed to the use of his name in Ne.
hraska, he would occupy the atti.

The present breach between Carranxa

A month later villa began his revolt

when villa demanded that Carranza

RUSSIAN QUEEN KNEW
PINCHES OF POVERTY
Princess Alix Came Of Family Tint
Was Net Nich-Courted By
Italy's KiRg.

The Princess Alix Of Hesse. n grand
daughter Of the late Queen Victoria.
was born In 1872. and In 1sot was mar
rled to Nicholas II OF Russia. the present
Emperor, says the Philadelphia Press.
Now known as Marie Feodcovna. she
was simply brought up. as 1t is the in
variable rule that all royal princesses
are reared, without dny idea Of extrav-
agancc.
At the time Of Marie's birth her
father was not even reignirg over the
little Grandduchy of Hesse. and she
knew the pinch OF poverty.
Poverty. however. never cut any fig
ure with the little Princess Alix, for
she was as happy and carefree as the
day was long.
It was In the summer OF 1894 that she
became engaged to the Gar. and she
thought she would be able to undergo a
long course of training prior to her
new duties as the Czarina, for she we'll
knew the eyes of the world would be
upon her both at home and abroad.
Fate decreed otherwise. In the fall
Alexander III was critically Ill. The
princess was sent for to come to his
deathbed In the Crimea. She was mar
ried within a week of his death, the en-
tire court appearing In gala attire on
her wedding day. Nicholes II was the
happiest Of mep: lucky. too. and he
knew II. for had mot the present King OF
Italy asked this same beautiful princess
to be cOhis bride?
During the first seven years Of her
married life daughter after daughter
was born to the exalted couple. until
four of them enlivened the imperial pal
ace. This did not help matters with
the Czarina. and what small popularity
she had won was fast waning. True
enough was 1t for her that uneasy lies

Russia the first lady OF the land is not

II was nearly ten years before the lit

initiating one. for she had to take sec
ond place after her mother-in-law. the
dowager empress, born Princess Dag
mar OF Denmark. who still was the real

A Congressional inquiry into the exact

the Congressional session.
Resolutions will be introduced" said
n Senator today. from different quar-
ters, asking that information be trans

of Congress on various matters involV-

resolutions calling for such advlces

the Democrats are easily In control OF

WAR, BUT NO FIGHTING BACK

Out in Cleveland two city officials
have resigned their posts following
an investigation which disclosed
their relationship to plots for tying
up, through strikes, the operations
Of big industry Understood to be

Of Hungarian origin, and further
developments bearing on the NUM-
tions strikes and fires in that dis
trict are expected to come fast.
The State fire marshal of Penn
sylvania is quoted as declaring, af-
tar investigation, that all the fires in
munition making plants in his region
were shown, on careful inquiry, to
be undoubtedly incendiary. At the
Eddystone plant the fire was started
when water supply was low and a
high wind prevailed. At the Roeb-
ling works the recent fire that cost
. damage of s1,O0o,0OO was started,
gained rapid headway, and then
spread because the electric fire
alarm system had been put out of
business In advance.
Thus, all over the country, was is
being waged in secret against the
industries Of this country, and yet
nothing is done to stop it. Every
week that Nuch things continue gives
the plotters more confidence that
they are safe in their Hllainous
work. II there are any agencies,
Federal or State, competent to the
task Of protecting the nation against
this systematic assault on peace and
industry, they must be set at work

MACHINE-GuN COMPLEXITIES.
Men Learning How to Manage ThcM
Aided by juggling Verses.

Some of our young gunners who are
busy learning how to manage machii9
guns have some jingling verses to hcO
them to remember all the things they
have to do in case a gun gets out of
order. Here is the first verse of the
gunner's song, which goes to the tune
OF John Peel"
Put the crank handle on to the buffer
spring.
Take hold of the belt and pull Tho
blooming thing;
If that won't work, why you liGhten

And the gun will fire off in the morn

And the third verse. in spite OF ID

for the spirit of the last line:
