COACH GUY NICKALLS
OUTWITTED SPECTATORS
Sent Blue oarsmen Over Course on
SehuylkiIl on an Unexpected Trial
Spin.

Philadelphia, April Guy Nickalls
today outwitted the spectators who
endeavored to catch the time of the
Yale oarsmen in their trial spin over
the Henley course on the Schuylkill
river. Coach Nickalls kept the blue
crew busily engaged in practising
starts and then, when the onlookers
were not expecting it, sent them at
full speed over the full course. The
Yale crew displayed some of the best
blade work they have shown since
their arrival here and when the days
practice was closed Coach Nickalls
appeared sanguine of a victory over
Pennsylvania.
The Pennsylvania crew was also
given a good workout, covering four

PEANUT GROWING IN THE HOME

Why waste time growing morning glOries at the
side of your house when you might be getting the
benefits of peanut vine instead? Furthermore
why worry with rubber plant when you might
have in its place orange tree bearing delicious
fruit? The Woman National Agricultural and
Horticultural Association wants to know
Much advice given at a recent meeting of
that organization in New York City. calculated to
entice persons who are now contented and happy
to engage in the cultivation of dwarf fruit trees
and nut vines instead of the growing of conven-
tional pansies and other pretty but nedibe things
The listeners prospective converts to the peanut
growing plan were told how perfectly lovely it
would be if they could get from their own peanut
vines specimens of the nuts whenever desired no
less than if they could go to their buffes and casu
ally pluck fresh fruit from potted orange trees to
satisfy their every mountaineering.
Nothing said at least so far as the reports
extended, about tedious of the growing peanut
vines and orange trees 1t would be interesting to
know how much>labor, during the period of cult
yation, would be required before grower might be
privileged to enter into the enjoyment of eating
one resultant peanut one harvested orange
1t is to be noted that woman S organization is
Responsible for this suggestion that fruit bearing
trees be given the attention of amateur dabblers in
the soil instead of flower stalks Women who have
always been thought to be attracted to the finer
things in life would try to have us believe that
peanuts are more to be desired than pansies
If the choice is to lie between peanuts and pansies
give us pansies What joy can there be in digging
raw, dirty little peanut out of the earth compared
with that of pucking pretty pansy from its stalk
There is more happiness to be had from looking at
a pansy than from eating peanut, and it is much
better for the digestion. Anyhow you can buy
whole pocketful of peanuts for itney

POOR MEXICOi

And now the Yaqui Indians have declared war
against Mexico. y dispatch from FL Paso published
to-day, conveys this information which would be
more startling perhaps If it not that pretty
nearly everybody but Uncle Sam is declaring war
on somebody these days. We quote the following
from this dispatch:
The entire iaqu nation of Indians has declared itself
war against Mexico The Iaqui troops have constituted
the best fighters in the Maytoena Villa army Sonora
but after the attack Yaquis upon Americans
Sonora ami the dispatch of Mexican troops by Governor
Maytoreua against them the YaQus in council have
decided drop all connection with Mexican factions and
renewed their old declaration against Mexico.
This interesting information naturally raises the
question::
What is the Mexican government against which
war has been declared by the Yaquis!
Where among the various revolutionary parties
on Mexican soil to-day is any real government
against which any person or group of persons can
declare anything!
little more enlightenment is required for the
benefit of an inquring public.

altering THE MAPOFEUROPE
For Hundreds of Years Changing
Boundaries Have Followed the
Arm of the Strong

Despite territorial aggression, which
most European governments, as evil
denced since the days of Attila, or even
further back in the dim years before
feudal Europe sank into barbarism,
the lines of demarcation between king,
doms have been drawn with regard to
racial differences rather than political
dissension.
Except in the instances of Poland,
the provinces of Alsace and Lorraine,
and the Italian lands held by Austria,
each nation stayed well within it's own
bounds, and these alien territories held
by Russia, Germany and Austria fell
to their lot as the fortunes of war.
Territorial acquisition across seas
being always a pawn to be won or lost
by military and naval strategy in the
game of war, does not count so much
as the changing of national boundaries,
nor does it arouse the smoldering re-
sentiment experienced in the loss of
even the smallest portion of the father
land.
Whatever the final decision of courts
or arms may be in the matter it is in
teresting to note the swiftly changing
territory of Europe, territory occupied
by the shifting armies, broad domains
held under martial rule, in one instance
a whole nation held although not sub
jugated.
To gain a comprehensive idea of this
phase of the first six months of the
war, an angle which will have its bear
ing in the future settlement of bound
ary questions, it is but necessary to
look over the maps contained in Willis
j. Abbot's great book, "The Nations
at War; offered to readers of this pa
per for the presentation fee of only 50
cents. This handsome SO volume is
profusely illustrated with more than
463 half tone engravings from actual
photographs, and contains 364 pages of
accurate, authoritative news, informa-
ton, fact and data appertaining to the
titanic struggle. In addition there are
20 color plates of stirring scenes Of
historic import.
Arrangement having been made
with the publisher of this, the first
authentic volume on the war from a
responsible source, large part of the
first edition of this work has been Sc
cured for readers of the Star-Indepen-
dent, none of whom should lose any
time in securing this valuable and in
teresting historic book.-Adv.
