the Mexican people actually are dying
by hundreds of starvation. Cash so
obtained, it will be charged goes to
the private purses of these so-called
leaders.

will point out that the factions must
bury their differences and get together
on a common agreement for a provision

the United States would like TO have
them do so uninfuenced by outsiders,
but they will be warned that if they

Ellicottville, N. Vi, Jan 2.--Walter
H. Moffitt, the business manager OF
an Ellicottyille newspaper has been
nervous about the honesty OF the
people of this town for some time
and decided to try the matter out
today. He went to one OF the de-
partmeht stores in the town center
and gave rs dimes to a clerk, asking
that in making change she give an
extra dime to the first 25 customers.
Well, it's just as Walter suspected

Friend Gives Drinking Schedule.
Charles Whann, Jr, close friend
OF Quintard. after corroborating the
assertions concerning the unnamed
salesman, tells how much alcohol the
young millionaire was able to absorb
during the two months and still keep
alive AT the end of that time g PR
sician was summoned and on his ad-
vice Quintard went to Florida, ac-
companied by Whann.
Whann says Quintard in this city
would start every day with four or
five milk punches before breakfast.
He quickly followed these with rye
and Scotch highballs. These kept
coming in rapid succession until
luncheon time. when Quintard might
take -some light refreshment.' Break
fast had been neglible, but
luncheon was bit more satisfying.
Before dinner. at which Quintard
sometimes took a little food, he
drank five or six cocktails and with
the meal drank champagne.
.From then en- say Mr. whann.
until the hour when 1t was impos-
sible for him to drink any more. he
continued to drink sometimes cham

sometimes both. He was seldom in

JOURNALISM TAUGHT
TO NJ. U. FARMERS
Agricultural Students at Uni
versity of Missouri Learn
To Write Farm News.

The principles of scientific
farming have been developed so
rapidly in the last few years
that there is now a special field
in writing for men who are far
mers. At the University of
Missouri, many of the men who
are studying agriculture are al
so taking a course in the School
of Journalism, the aim of which
is to enable the students to write
farm news for the agricultural
press of the country The course
is given by Charles G.. Ross, AS
sociate Professor of Journalism.
"The purpose of this course is
not to make poor editors out of
good farmers" says Mr.. Ross,
"but to teach good farmers how
to write good English"
Mr.. Ross says that there Is a
growing demand for men who
are trained both in Journalism
and Agriculture. A Missouri
Arkansas news letter sent out
/ by the st. Louis bureau of the
United Press, regularly uses ar
ticles that are written ready to
use well written stories con-
corning the farm and the farm
ers. "Very few of the students
who complete this course ever
leave the farm for Journalism"
says Mr.. Ross. Many of them,
however, find it profitable to
write articles concerning their
farm experience. A few of them
have become editors. A. c. Page
of Kansas City, a student of the
College of Agriculture who conf
pleted this course, is now editor
Of the Orange Judd Farmer of
Chicago"
Between fifty and sixty agri-
cultural students take this
Journalism course yearly. 4
