Good Work By the Farm Girls.

The garden and canning clubs thai
have been organized BY Southern girls
are supplying some valuable evidence
as, to the desirability q crop diversl-
fication.
Some interesting facts have been given
out from Washington as to the work
accomplished by the girls clubs A
young woman in Tennessee made net
profit of $l31. 60 by raising and selling
vegetables. Another girl in the same
State made a profit Of 5000 on beans
and tomatoes during the summer and
fall. A third found peach orchard
into which the hogs bad been turned to
eat the fruit She set up home can
ming outfit in the orchard and made
$50 in one week as the result of her
work.
In South Curolina The club girls made
a total profit of 1913, 900 last year. Incl
dentally they developed a new industry
by canning pimentos. They found that
practically all the pimentos used in the
United States are imported from Spain
and Mexico. As pimentos are grown
extensively in several counties in South
Carolina, the girls decided to put do
mestic product on the market. They
did so with such success that requests
have come tom forty-fv States for in
formation regarding the canning and
cultlse of this valuable food product.
Two girls in North Carolina have
made such reputation for their canned
fruits and vegetables that they are un-
able to supply the demand. In Missis-
sippi the girls have organized market
ing committees" to facilitate the sale of
their products.
The Texas giAs have shown unusual
interest in poultry in addition to their
canning and garden work. This is only
the first year Of the poultry work, but
already $50 young women have achieved
results, and in not a single case did the
girls fail to make profit. One girl
made enough money from her vegetable
crops to buy her father wagon and
team, which he was unable to buy for
himself because he could not sell his
cotton. One girl cleared last year $3.50
from her turkeys and 1888 from her
chickens. In addition, being an all
round farmer, she made profit from

SURE OF ONLY ONE THING
Wellington Could Tell Little of Battle
Plans, But He Knew Himself
and Uxbridue.

'Wellington's reticence once drew a
protest from Lord Uxbridge, the brill
liant cavalry leader who lost leg at
Waterloo. On the eve Of the great bat
tie Uxbridge, although next to Yelling
ton in command, knew nothing Of his
chiefs plans for the morrow's battle.
With trepidation he approached the
duke. If Wellington were killed Tx
bridge would become commander in
chief. What was the plan? The duke
listened patiently.
Tell me, Uxbridge, who will attack
the first tomorrow or Bonaparte?"'
" Undoubtedly Bonaparte."
We'll, Bonaparte hasn't given me
any idea of his projects, and as my
plans depend upon his plans, how can
you expect me to tell you miner"
Uxbridge bowed and was about to re-
tire when the duke added in the
friendliest way: There's one thing
certain, Uxbridge, whatever happens
you and will do our duty"

PEACE PROSPECTS
BECOME BRIGHTER
Washington Officials Are Confident
Villas Elimination is Bona
Eide Move.

Washington, Dec. 20.-Gratifcatiou
and relief were frankly displayed by
administration officials today when
news came from Ell Paso that II OF
Gen. Villas generals and leaders had
signed an agreement to turn the rebel
army of the north over to the defacto
government of Mexico. Confidence is
felt here in the reported promise Of
Villa to eliminate himself and if he
crosses the American border he will
find free road.
Villas withdrawal and the incor-
poration of his army into that of the
de facto government are regarded
here as indicative of early peace in
Mexico, and at least will pave the way
for reducing materially the strong
patrol the United States has been
obliged to maintain along the border.
His elimination, it is believed, will
leave Carranza free to concentrate his
forces against the rebellious bandits
still operating in the interior and near
The capital.
With the fighting transferred to the
interior the Washington administration
Will watch Developments less anxious
y than wnen battles were being fought
along the boundary line 1t is realized,
however, that Carranza's army has
before it many months of serious fight
ing before he can assure foreign dip
lomats that his rulership is undis-
puted.
Advices to the state department do
not indicate how many men areNo oper-
ating in other parts of the republic
against the de facto government, but !
estimates based on official and unof-
fetal information place the number at
many thousands greater than the Villa
force in the north.
Under Zapata, the Cedillo brothers /
and several former army officers o.
past regimes, organizations are in the !
field in San Luis Potosi, Vera Cruz,
Topic, Jalisco, Michoican,
Guerrero, Oaxaca, Chiapas, Sonora
and Sinaloa. Not all these are strong
and by the Carranza
government they are styled bandit for
he greater part, although it is ad
nitted that those operating south and
east of Mexico City are formidable.

HEROES DEVELOPED BY WAR
Terrible as Is the Battlefield, It Brings
to the Surface Mans Great

Hateful as war is and utterly abhor-

to the surface as nothing else can GER
tain heroic qualities in man that the
whole world admires. And the great
war has already been prolific OF he
roes. What is hero? He is one who
does his duty fearlessly, as he sees 1t,
with all the energy, ability, power ana
enthusiasm at his command. At Liege
a German officer, directing his men in
the trenches, fell shot in the head.
At once the others came to him, eager
to help He waved his hand. mo,

died a hero Prince Frederick OF
Lippe, leading his command, received
a bullet in his breast. He knew 1t
to be a mortal wound, but with his
last ounce of strength he sprang for
ward, grasped the regimental stan
dard, which was in danger Of being
taken, and shouting, "Save the fiag!"
fell to rise no more. Many incidents
of individual heroism like these are
told Of both sides, and they relieve the
somber tragedy Of war. Many undis-
tinguished heroes went to their death
at Namur, Charleroi and other battle
fields in Belgium and along the border
from Mons to Muelhausen, and at the
great battle in Lorraine, where 100000
fought on either side. The story Is
told of number of students of Liege
university who had volunteered for
military service. There was an ex-
animation to be held, but great
battle had already begun. 1t was az
first purposed to abandon the exami-
nation, but with a unanimous voice
the students and faculty decided that
it should go on. "The examination
took place." relates the correspondent,
"and then the candidates trooped from

of them lay dead few hours later."-

SYRUP OF FIGS FOR

It is cruel to force nauseating,
harsh physic into a
sick child.

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the dose" mother insisted
on - castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form OF
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little "insides" are
injured by them.
If your childs stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli

action is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless fruit

love to take it; that It never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet

given today saves a sick child tomor-

has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly

CHAPTER LIN.
The Last Trump.


Toward the evening Of the third
day following the motor spill, Judith
sat in the deeply recessed window Of
a bedchamber on the second floor Of
a hotel situated in the heart Of Cali
fornia's orange-growing lands.
Behind her Seneca Trine sat, ap-
parently asleep, In a wheeled invalid
chair.
There was no occupant Of the room.
Though he had lain nearly two
days in coma, her fathers subsequent
progress toward recovery Of his nor
NAL state had been rapid. Now, ac-
cording to a council Of surgeons and
physicians who had been summoned
to deliberate on his case, he was in
a fair way to round out the average
span of a sound mans lifetime. He
had apparently suffered nothing in
consequence of his accident more
serious than prolonged unconscious
ness. For the last twenty.four hours
he had been in full possession of his
faculties and (for some reason impos.
sible to Judith to fathom) uncom-
monty cheerful
From this circumstance she drew
a certain sense Of mystified anxiety.
Twice in the course Of the morning
she had caught his eye following her
with a CLEAN of sardonic exultancy,
as though he nursed some secret Of
extraordinary potentialities.
And yet (she argued) it was quite
impossible that he should have some
fresh scheme brewing for the assassin
alton of Alan. Not soul had had any
sort of communication with him since
his recovery but the attending sur
