VALUE or CROP ROTATION.


No real friend of agriculture
advocates the needless raising or
things. That has ruined too much
good land in this country III the
past. 1t Is wasting the fertility
of many acres now. But raising
things by good farming is IA diff
ferent proposition. because II re-
quires tile maintenance OF the
means OF raising them. The first
essential to good system or
farming is crop rotation, the
next proper and profitable use of
the products. A prevailing crop
rotation Is usually the result OF
the past experience of the farm
ers of the locality. and 1t should
not be lightly discarded. But II
may have become a sort OF nab
it. 1t might he much improved.
This is worth thinking about.

possible one: Could it be chang

!" The Story Beautiful, "
= Chautauqua Mas
terpiece
This Classic Makes Appeal to the
Senses of Sight and Hearing.

'The Story Beautiful Is a classic
from the standpoint Of art, oratory and
musical attachments, and yet, because
Of It's strong appeal to all classes who
will hear and see it, this number on
the coming assembly deserves to be
called popular entertainment.
Because Of its uniqueness it is diff
cult to give In few words an ade-
Quate conception of it.
One Of the most brilliant, powerful
and dramatic speakers, Father Patrick
J. MacCorry Of St Marys cathedral,
Wichita, Kan, has woven a thrilling
lecture about series of unusual views
and reproductions of famous paintings.
Many, Of the paintings shown are by
the master painters Of the world and
are hidden far from the eyes Of the
curious. How Father MacCorry Sc
cured them is not part Of this story,
but it may be said that there are few
who could secure permission to copy
them, and the coloring Of the slides Is
wonderfully well done. They are as
beautiful as the originals and far above
any slides commonly shown.
While the pictures are being shown
Father MacCorry gives his lecture
No orator has a more musical tone or
more dramatic intonation, and while
he speaks single ray Of light reveals
his features against a black velvet
curtain, the speaker as well as the
picture being shown, which Is an ex-
elusive feature with this lecturer. At
times nothing can be heard but the
gentle music of the piano. and this
may be followed with the rich tones OF
that great baritone, II. Ruthven Mac
Donald of Toronto, who presents Sc
lections from oratorios and other classic
music while the audience remains I'M
der the spell Of this remarkable set
ting.
Four people are required to present
this admirably combined lecture, re-
cital and showing Of famous pictures,
and those who attend will leave with
the sensation that they have visited
some great cathedral, having been
thoroughly satisfied in long cherish
ed desire.

MANUSCRIPT OF AMERICA

gift, of the almost priceless original
manuscript of the beautiful national
hymn, " America, - to be held in per

means that instead of adjoining the
walls of some great Croesus, who might

the song, was his father.

stands a mahogany chair which holds
the place of honor in the living room. 1t
was while sitting in this very chair 50
years ago that the Rev Mr.. Smith com
lposed the words which live in every
household of the American nation now.

Conference-Arms Embargo

WASHINGTON, Oct. Il. - Reco2ni-
ton of the party led by Gen. Carranza
as the de faeto government in Mex
lea was unanimously agreed upon at
Washington Saturday by the pan-Ameri-
can conference as the step to be recon-
mended to their respective govern
ments. Secretary Lansing, on behalf of
the United States government, express
Cd it's intention to recognize Gen. Car
rama and the ambassadors of Brazil,
Chile, Argentina and the ministers Of
Bolivia, Uruguay and Guatemala trans
mittcd the decision of the Washington
government as well as their own opin-
ions in agreement with it. Mr.. Ian
sing was obtained the approval Of
President Wilson to tho plan, and be
fore the conference began all the other
ministers in the LatinAmerican corps
also had given their adherence to it.
The action of Saturday 5 conference
was regarded generally as the most inn
portant diplomatic step in the Mexican
situation since the United States de-
cided to withhold recognition from the
Huerta government, more than two
years ago. 1t means that the Carranza
government will receive the moral sup
port of the United States and that an
/ embargo on shipments of arms to op
posing factions will be laid as soon as
recognition actually is extended, which
probably will be within a fortnight.

MANY HUNTERS IN WOODS.
Popping at All Kinds of Game Re
sembles Sound of Battle.

A hunter who went into the woods
Saturday afternoon several miles from
Brattleboro said that the noise of firing
sounded like a battle in the woods. All
sizes, kinds and ealibres of guns were
in the hands of all sizes and ages of
hunters and they blazed away at any
thing that showed signs of life.
At one time he had freed a grey
squirrel and sat down to await chance
to get a shot at the little animal. He
was there less than 10 minutes and dur
ing that time three different squads of
hunters came along and volunteered ad-
vice and assistance.

PETROGRAD, Oct. II. - The stub
bornness of the troops of Gen. Ruzsky
is still q match for the attempts of the
Germans under Won Buelow to secure
Dvinsk and the line to the Dvina. 4
new German offensive is noted north
ward at Gorbunovaka, where, in order
to protect the approach to the river,
the Russians met the Germans with ma
chine guntire of such terrific violence
whole columns were flung back, unable
to parry the assault.
Similar fruitless attacks were made
in the Smorgen region, 100 miles south
of Dvinsk. These attacks were all re-
pulsed. Heavy fighting is continuing
here.
1t is reported that in the marshes of
Pinsk bands of German deserters are
plundering right and left. Local peas
ants are forming flying commands, and
armed with rifles, are conducting q sue
cessful guerrilla warfare against these
German irregular troops.
After fortnight s halt the Rus
slams have renewed the offensive in the
region from the Stvr to the Sercth. In
fantry forces by an energetic attae k
dihlodged he enemy from the right
bank of the Styr and occupied their
position at Koshistchi.
More important still is the Russian
offensive in the direction of Lutzk. On
both sides of the Rovno-Kovel railway
the enemy was thrown back distance
of 90 miles. Near Lutzk the Russians
captured $500 men, besides numerous
trophies.
| Successful aeroplane raids have been
made against the railway at Czerno-
WITT This station always played an
important part in German offensive OPP
erations in the south, and masses OF
troops and munitions have been brought
there Reliable reports state that the
raid caused extremely heavy damage
and serious disorganization.
