THE VOICE OF NOW!
1t is the present, the today, the
NOW in which we are interested.
Shakespeare wisely says:
Tomorrow lever yet
On any living mortal rose or set
1t Is the printed page which deals
most intimately and with the greatest
detail in the movements of the pres

claiming TO the world the things that
are happening today. The Govern
ment Of the United States is NOW
gravely concerned in certain aspects
Of the war in Europe and has had
thrust on it several serious internal
tional problems which are NOW in
process of solution. The American
farmer is NOW interested in this
titanic struggle, for his interests are
being affected by it today and will be
tomorrow, and he wants TO keep in
close touch with it NOW.
EVERYBODY is interested in the

No More Big Plungers

From the New York Evening Sun.
 Speaking Of Pittsbufg Phil reminds me that big betting on horse races has been abolished. Pittsburg Phil was the leader in this respect and was about the only one to quit with a fortune. Dave John son, who won as much as s50,000 in one day at Belmont park in 1907, died prac- tically broke" The late John w. Gates, after tremendous battle with the book makers in the golden Gays of the turf, admitted when he closed operations that he had enjoyed an even break. Joe Yeag- CT and Riley Grammar, who suddenly be- came rich, lost everything in due time. John A. Drake, who shared in the S5oO,- 900 killing on Royal Flush in England, finally left the game, declaring that he could not beat 1t. Jesse Lewisohn, E. R. Thomas and E. E. Smathers, who plunged for the limit, burned up thousands of dollars in vain attempts to outguess the price makers.
 One of the assertions of the reformers who helped wipe out the betting rings at the New York tracks was that the book makers 'got all the money" But now sdays it is hard to name more than half dozen former layers who are reputcd to be wealthy. Many of the old guard who handled the chalf and states have been driven to the wall. Some of them have gone into other lines of business. Others are hanging on at the winter tracks trying to make expenses in a daily struggle with pilkers. A few are running handbooks in the city on a small scale. At the Jockey clubs race courses last year there was no big betting. for the excellent reason that bank rolls were scarce and the oral system was preca- rious. In short, the plungers of the turf have disappeared apparently for all tune.

BOO OOO. 900 pounds of condensed milk every year, and the total value of the product of our dairying is close to s2oo- 00o 900. But it must be remembered that as far as such things are concerned we are an old country, while as to mod ern dairying the Argentine is practi- cally new. Moreover, we have 100000 900 people and the Argentine less than 5000, ,000. This country is advancing more rapidly in such matters than we are and in the future it may form one of our great sources of butter supply
 As to the future meat and butter pro- duction of the Argentine, its possibili- ties are beyond conception. With in tensive farming and upbreeding the proportionate increase will soon be much more rapal than it is now. This is a natural stock country, and in the past where the animals ran wild, they formed enormous herds that surpassed in number those of our buffaloes.
 It must be remembered that this country had no cattle, horses or sheep until they were brought in by the Spaniards Forty three years after Columbus discovered America. Don Pe- horses and mares. His colony had a terrible time and they finally went to Asuncion in Paraguay, forsaking a part of their horses. About a genera tion later another colony came here and they found that the pasture lands were covered with droves of Wild horses, the offspring of Mendoza's s herd. It was a little later that sheep were brought over, and they bred in the same wonderful way And then came the cattle, which increased so rap idly that the people could not take care of them, and they roamed by the thou sands over the pampas.
 For a long time the greater part of the stock was wild, and the killing was done for their hides and tallow. More than fe.ndred years before our Declaration of Independence was signed it was related that a traveller found at Buenos Aires 22 Dutch and English vessels landen with bull hides. Each had on board 14,000 or 15,000 hides, and in all 100000 cattle had been killed to make the hides shipped by the fleet. These hides had netted the exporters about $1 each and the ships made about 600 per cent off them.
 At this same time, it is said that the cattle grew so fast that they would have devastated the country had it not been for the wild dogs that de- voured the calves. A little later on a priest, writing about Buenos Aires, de- scribes the abundance of the cattle. He says that the country was then so GOV cred with them that any one had the right to take up all he wanted, Gp to 10000 or 12,000 head. If he needed more than that he had only to get a license from the government. At that time cattle were bringing about a dollar a head. and in times of drought the price went up to $2. I am told that the same conditions exist in some parts of eastern Bolivia today. The stock there run wild, and they are so far away from

late Commodore George Allan Magruder of the United State navy, and who was the first of the American peeresses who now constitute so numerous body. One of Mrs. Haverfields uncles, moreover, Gen. John Magruder, fought on the Con- federate side in the civil war, while 8 great grandfather of hers, Caleb Swan, was, so she tells me, member of George Washingtons staff.
 So much for the Hon. Mrs. Haverfields S American ancestry of which she is, by the way, extremely proud. On the British side of the house. the martial strain is also strong, many Scarletts, which is the family name, having been warriors of rehown. Perhaps the most famous of them was General Sir James Scarlett who led the charge of the heavy brigade at Balaclava, a feat that was no less memorable, apparently, than the more famous charge of the light brigade, albeit there was not another Tennyson to im- racrtalize it. General Scarlett was an uncle of the late Lord Abinger, Mrs. Haverfeld's father, who was on his staff during part of the Crimean war. So it is by no means surprising that Lord Abin- gers daughter who is the widow, too, of a British military man, should have proved already that actual battlefields have no terrors for her, and that, under circumstances of scarcely less stress in peace times, she should have displayed both the genius of a born commander ana complete lack of emotional handi- caps which we used to associate, but now are less inclined to do, with the sup posed gentler sex!
 And the rank and file of this feminine army; who are they? Well, they are women and girls of every class between the ages of IS and 40, including number whose names figure in Burke's Peerage and whose fathers are men of title and wealth, women of the same calibre, ons doubts not. as ff,ose who for a far less vital cause than the defense of their country, and their homes, a few short months ago. were hurling themselves against serried ranks of none too gentle policemen, flinging themselves unde. horses hoofs, and all but starving them- selves to death for a barren thing like the suffrage. Women and girls who are real plucked 'lins, as the slang phrase gees, and who are now learning to shoot and to ride. and incidentally are being systematically drilled by retired military n6n-coms exactly the recruits tc Kitchener's new army are being trained and with the identical handbook to guide them!
 You will get some idea of the spirit ol these women when 1t is said that. mos of them hard workers, such as typists clerks, teachers, shop assistants, With ne time to call their own except evenings and Saturday afternoons. they are devot' ing every moment of these to fitting them. selves to be of use should a crisis sud- denly arise in this country. They repre- sent all grades of society, even dow' to cooks and housemaids for it is an amusing fact that several women of title have had to transfer to another company because they found themselves forming fcurs' with their own servants, whic. diG not seem quite expedient. High and lew alike, however, they all arc in sober
