TO INCREASE OUR
MARINE CORPS

President Wilson is asking Con
gress to increase the strength of the
United States Marine Corps by 1900
men, and, in editorial comment on
his preparedness plan, it may be in
teresting for you to know that:
/. The U. S. Marine Corps was au-
thorized by the Continental Congress
on Nov. 10, 1875, and therefore has
the distinction of being the oldest
branch of the service.
2. Lieut.. P. N. O'Bannon, of the
United States Marine Corps, hoisted
the first American flag ever flown
over fortress on the old World,
when Derne, stronghold in Tripoli,
was taken by assault on April 81,
1906.
3. The first regulars who entered
the fortress of Chapultepec in Mexi-
co City, when it was taken by storm
on September 13, 1847, were the
U. s. Marines under Major Levi
Twigg.
A. Under the command of Robert
E. Lee, later the commonding gen
eral of the Confederate Army, the U.
S. Marines captured John Brown at
Harpers Ferry in 1859.
5. A battalion of Marines under
Capt. John L. Broome occupied New
Orleans upon it's surrender and hoist
ed the American flag on the custom
house on April 20, 1862
6. A battalion of Marines (646 Of
ficers and mem commanded by Lieut.
Col. R. w. Huntington, was the first
American force that landed in Cuba
in 1898, when it established base
for Simpsons fleet at Guantanamo,
holding their position against Span
ish regulars who were estimated to
number 1000.
Z. The United States Marines Of
the U. S. S. Oregon, Captain john T.
Myers commanding, were the first
troops to enter Peking
just before the Boxer insurrection
broke out in 1900.
g. A battalion of Marines under
Major L. w. T. Waller were the first
to enter China after the outbreak.
Lieut.. Col Neville's Marines were

ril, 1914.
10. The U. S. Marines have carried
their colors into action in Tripoli

5anto Domingo, and now in Hayti.

RICHFIELD ALSO
HAS A BURBANK

How many realize that we have
in our midst young man who is
liable to make the renowned wizard
sit up and take notice? Well, Clarence
Winters is not only an energetic and
practical farmer but he is also a close
observer and a student of nature.
Three years ago Mr. Winters dis
covered in his barley field stalk
which grew three heads of barley, all
we'll filled and developed He watch
ed them carefully until they were
fully matured then gathered and she'll
ed them out, and in the following
spring planted the grain from these
three heads and found that about 60
per cent produced their like in three
headed barley He selected the best
of these and again planted it in 1915
with the result that this year over
80 per cent produced the three-head-
ed variety with the result that he
now has about four pounds of the
grain.
Mr.. Winters states that the three
heads grown on stalk produce from
80 to 40 grains more than the aver
age single head from a well matured
field; in his experience so far he
finds that two of the heads usually
produce full and plump grain while
the third is often not fully filled
However he has again selected and
saved the choicest of the heads and
will plant them next season. He states
that the straw does not grow as tall
as the ordinary barley and this may
cause some difficulty in the binding.
Mr. Winters has sent head to the
College at Moscow but at the present
writing has received no reply If Mr..
Winters experiments continue to be
satisfactory this will revolutionize tho
growing of barley for feed and in
crease the yield and Richfield will
continue to grow famous.

SINKING OF ANCONA
CAUSES TROUBLE
PROSPECTS OF A SATISFACTORY
SETTLEMENT WITH AUSTRIA
GIVEN A SETBACK.
Austria Holds That the Ancona Case
Comes in the Same Category as the
Lusitania Case, Which is Still the
Subject of Negotiations.

Washington.-Th prospect of a sat
isfactory settlement of the controversy
with Austria over the sinking of the
Ancona was given setback on Fri
day when confidential information was
received in Washington as to the at
titude of the Austrian government.
The possibility of break between the
two governments was at once revived.
The communications from Austria,
which came through diplomatic chan
nels, purport to give also an outline of
the probable reply of the Austrian
government.
According to these advices Austria
holds that the Ancona case comes in
the same category as the Lusitania
case, which is still the subject of ne
gotiations between the United States
and Germany. The reason for this, it
is stated, is that Austria has never
given instructions to the commanders
of her submarines to observe the
rules of recognized international law
as the United States and Germany
both understand them at the present
time, which provide that vessels shall
not be torpedoed without full warning
and without provision for the safety
of every person on board.
This has come as shock to officials
of this government, inasmuch as it in
dicates that the commander, in torpe-
doing the Ancona without waiting for
all passengers and members Of the
crew to take to the boats, was acting
under general authority of his govern
ment.
