ABUNDANT GRAIN.

The ruin OF Thaw may very well be
traced ta tao Mehsrneneg. His father
seemingly knew the bent of the mans
mind and cut him off with $4,000 a
year. but his mother upset the desire
Of the father by allowing him $50. 600
a year. Few young men could stand
straight under the burden OF such an
income.
While realizing that the course OF
Justice has been fiouted and upset by
the money of a criminal. the country
will be better Off from hearing no
more of this case. Viewed in that light
we are cheapiy rid of Thaw.

Britain she will vociferously proclaim
that grevious injury has been the
sacred rights OF Americans, and to
right such wrongs she will ask media
ton by us with England. The chief
reason for our looking suspiciousiy at
this course of action is that in the
latter case Germany stands to gain
free food stuffs, and will thereby be
enabled to carry on her war longer.
As the German bankers have already
protested to the Kaiser against the
prolongaion of the war 1t can be seen
how great Is her need for the removal
of the severe economic pressure that
has been put upon her by the war.

labors.
Two things are necessary before
such work can be undertaken. The
first In the election of a well informed,

and the other is some mode of pub

the world. The Sthte Penitentary
Board can meet the first Of these
needs today by electing as superinten-
dent of the farm a man OF broad
vision and with the heart and the
ability to make the farm the leading
experiment station In Virginia. The
next need can be met by the State
Board of Agriculture. which should
make some arrangement for publish
ing In its bulletins the results of what
ever experiments may be undertaken
at the farm. But, OF course, there
can be neither experiments nor re-

PLACER MINING IN
 SEWARD PENINSULA

A new element of progress has en- tered into the mining industry in Se- ward Peninsula in the development of economies that render gravels of low CT grades available for exploitation, says Henry M. Eakin of the Limited States Geological Survey, in a report on placer mining in Seward Peninsula recently published by the Survey as Bulletin 622-I. Among these econo- mices may be mentioned the removal of hazard in dredging operations by systematic prospecting, the reduction of overhead costs by the formation of larger companies that operate a num- Der of dredges under the same super intendency, reduction of fuel expen- ses by use of internal-combustion en- zines burning crude oil, more eff cient use of steam in thawing frozen ground, and a closer attention to econ omy in the commissary department.
 In 1914 forty dredges, with an az gregate daily capacity of 42,000 cu- bic yards, were in operation on Se- ward Peninsula, and employment was given to 1,200 men for an average sea son of 100 days. The total production of the placers has an estimated value of $2,7OOOO0.
 A copy of the report may be ob- tained free on application to the Di- rector of the Geological Survey, Washington, D. C.

DOES BASEBALL FOL-
 LOW THE FLAG?

New York, Oct. 26.-Does Baseball I-one step in rear of the constitution follow the flag?
 United States Marine Corps repre- sentatives say that it does, and old 5. B. is the greatest single factor in captivity for the perpetuation of peace according to their views.
 The bat, ball and glove form mart of Marines expeditionary equipment and it has been said that he carries baseball paraphernalia in his knap- sack side by side with implements of a more serious nature. The Marine has. been sent to all parts of the world on errands of duty, and everywhere he has carried the irresistible game with him. But, unlike other mission aries carrying the good word in dark places, he hasn't gotten himself into trouble through it, and he rates the glorious old pastime as 100 per cent efficient in the cause of peace.
 A grizzled old "soldier of the sea-. who has played the game in every cline, gave expression yesterday to the following when interviewed at the Brooklyn Marine Barracks: Canned Caruso or the Symphony in F may have charms to soothe the savage breast, but when it come to "poping down hostile 'hombre in his native lair, show him man on third in the ninth inning with two down, and the score tie. We've done it in China, Guam, the Philippines, Alaska and everywhere that man may go, and it has always made for peace. Give your Uncle Samuel few thousand more Marines with plenty of good baseball players to fill ranks, and the warning nations of the world will be cemented closer together with the bonds of true sportmanship."

MOrmans Complain.

San Antonio Oct.25.-Mormans from Colonia arriving at the border today from Casas Grandes say that all the Villa troope have departed for Sonora, except POO who remained there guard ing large quantity of dynamite.
 These men said Villa had taken about 5000 troops with him, estimat- ing the number on the ten trains he brought to Sasas Grandes and esti- mating 800 to a train. Officials of the Mexican Northwestern railroad how ever, assert that not over 250 men were handled by any one train which would cut the Villa total to 2,500 men.
 The Mormans came out because of what they took to be a threat from Villa. While he did not molest any of their homes while at Casas Grandes he took all their forage and food pro- ducts and finally on leaving for So- nora took their horses.
 The Mormans called on him in a body and informed him that if he did not release their horses they would have no way to raise crops next year. They found him very surly He re- fused to shake hands and in reply to their importunities said, "You may not need the horses for another crop. l don't think you will"
 Ten of the men discussing the mat ter with him, immediately decided to come to the border They said the other colonists, between 300 and 1000 men, women and children will remain for the time being.

Sharp Advance Is Followed by Decline-Close at Is to p Points Oir.-Southern Selling Was Heavy.

New York, Oct. 25.-A sharp ad- vance followed the publication of the census ginning report at the opening of the Cotton Exchange this morning but prices soon weakened and there was break of approximately $2 per bale from the best. January con- tracts, which sold at 12.72c early, touched .12.32c in the late trading and closed at 12.35c, with the general list closing easy at net decline of Is to 20 points.
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance of to 19 points, and the active months sold 15 to 21 points net high CT during the early trading, with De- cember touching 12.61c. and March 12.95c. The census report showing that 5,713,347 bales gined to October IS was almost exactly in line with bullish predictions and evidently prompted some rebuying by sellers of last week as well as covering of shorts. The demand was readily sup piled on the advance of about 30 points on the low level of last Friday. however, and the market soon turned easier.
 It was pointed out by bearish trad CTS that in order to harmonize the ginning returns with some of the smaller crop estimates it was neces- sary to assume that the winning this year represented a larger percentage of the total crop than ever before re- ported while it was also pointed out

In any event it was considered that the action of the market indicated the ginned figures had been fully discount ed and as prices eased off the selling became more aggressive on reports of weakness in the market for sterling exchange and a more unfavorable view of the export situation.
 Southern selling was heavy and was accompanied by reports that export CTS were hedging in futures, owing to the slack fresh demand from abroad and sentiment seemed to be very much unsettled in late trading when December sold at 12.22c and July at 12.53c, with the general list about 21 to 25 points net lower. Ex- ports for the day were 2O,795 bales, making 1,179,481 bales so far this season. Port receipts, 39,663 bales. United States port stocks, 1,22O,7 ,795 bales.

Washington, Oct. 25.-Conditions throughout Mexico are showing mark ed improvement, according to an an nouncement today by Secretary Lan- sing. The secretary was able to give an optimistic report of the situation to George Bakhmeteff, the Russian ambassador who made inquiries pre- paratory, it is believed, to advising his government concerning recogni- ton.
 The British and French ambassa- dors recently made similar inquiries and it is now believed recognition of the Carranza government by many of the European powers soon will fol- low.
