MEX|CANS FIRE ON J
CAMP OF TROOPERS
AND ANOTHER BADLY WOUND
ED IN ATTACK ON PATROL.
Blow Struck Near Daybreak While
Soldiers Were Still Sleeping; Army
on Texas Frontier Now Practical
ly on Wartime Military Footing.

Brownsville, Texas.-One American
soldier lost his life in a carefully
planned attack by Mexicans early
Monday on a camp of a patrol of the
Third cavalry near Santa Maria,
Texas. AS result American troops
in the lower Rio Grande valley are
held in readiness for instant action.
Private Anthony Kraft OF Detroit.
Mich, was shot through the head and
died before the fight was over.
Trumpeter Harold T. Forney of Wa
tertOwn, N. Y, was shot through the
abdomen and is expected to die Ser
geant ames c. Walsh was slightly
wounded.
Although surprised and surround
ed, ten troopers of A troop, Third cav
airy, under Sergeant Walsh made a
spectacular defense end stood off
three times their number of assail-
ants until the approach of another de-
tachment of United States troops
forced the Mexicans to retreat.
The camp where the fight occurred
was In a grove about shed in a
ranch corral. The American detach-
ment slept in this shed and under
the ebony trees beside it. Before the
men had been awakened near day
break, one of the soldiers, who was
starting the breakfast fire, saw, less
than 100 yards away, outside of the
corral fence, one man On top of
straw stack and five others on the
ground nearby. He shouted a warn
ing. Sergeant Walsh awakened the
command and as the men reached for
their rifles the Mexicans opened fire.
This fire, starting from the straw
stack, quickly encircled the Ameri-
cans until they were fighting with
detachments of Mexicans, probably
totalling thirty, stationed at five sep
arate shelters.
State peace officers searching
American houses in the vicinity of
the ranch seized two wagon loads of
arms after the battle, but there was
nothing to connect any Americans di-
rectly with the fight. In addition to
the arms seized they found many old
fashioned firearms in the possession
of Mexlcans. These were destroyed.
Gen. E. P. Nafarrate, at Matamo-
ros, Mex, in response for the arrest
of Luis de la Rosa and Aniceto Pr
zano sent word that he was searching
Tor them These two Mexicans were
alleged to be signers of the most re-
cent circulars distributed in this Sec
ton calling upon Mexicans to kill
Americans.
Five Mexicans living at the ranch
house where the fight occurred were |
arrested on suspicion and taken to
San Benito. One of them seveal days |
ago, it is alleged. told one of the
Twelfth cavalry officers that he in
ended to kill one of that officers

COST OF RIGHT LIVING Low

High Cost of Living.

Il
High Cost Of Living.
The monthly health letter of the
life Extension Institute gives much
ound advice on what we should eat
nd what we should spend in order
be we'll nourished but not pamper-
d. 1t maintains that the cost OF
he real necessities of life has moi
increased to a point that should cause
hardship privation or undernutrition
wen among small wage earners. For
Instance air, the first requirement OF
lfe, costs nothing.
Food, the next requirement Of life,
costs little, If what the body really
leeds is considered. 10.6 cents a day
will provide plain. simple, palatable
God (hot pork and BEANS or its
equivalent, bread and butter, milk
and coffee, and the fuel to cook it,
jufficient to nourish person Of aver
lge weight and activity. When the
cost of food prepared in the home
rises above so cents per day per in
1ividual, there is certainly either
waste or luxury.
"The greatest satisfaction in eat
-ng is provided by sound health and a
natural appetite. not by the titilla-
zion of the palate of the gastronome,
who passes from one indulgence to
another until appetite. digestion and
health are mere memories
within reasonable limits food
should be prepared and served in an
appetizing way. But 1t is more i'm
portant to create appetite by bodily
conditions than by food conditions
ITO a healthy, hungry man, moth
ing can taste better than plain bread
and butter and milk. The trouble with
most people is that they are over
fed rather than underfed."

CAPTURE RUSSIAN RAILWAY.
Cars Troops Pushed Back by Cor
many's Army.

London.-By one of those batterine
offensives, which, although costly In
men and munitions, have invariably
been successful, Field Marshal Won
Hindenburgs army has at last set foot
on the Rovno-Petrograd railway be-
tween Wilma and Dvinsk. The whole
Austro-German forces have been striv-
ing to gain this railway since the fall
Of the Polish fortress
The offensive, which began toward
the end Of last week, was carried on
from three directions, upon Dvinsk
and the railway on either side of the
town, while further south, the invad-
ers advanced toward Wilma.
The Russians, before superior forces,
supplied with the usual mass of artii-
Iery, were forced back to the lake dis
trict. which the railway penetrates,
and are now making stand there.
simultaneously, the Germans pushed
their way eastward towards Slonim
and Pinsk, both of which are on roads
which Join the main railway line, while
the Austrians, with whom there are
many German units, are fighting hard
to reach Royno,, the southern terminus
Of the line.
With the railway partly in the hands
Of the Germans, 1t Is probable that the
Russians will be compelled to make a
further retirement although their OF
fensive in Galicia, which continues,
might save them by compelling the
Germans to send achievements to
this region. X

nearly Is bales of cotton at 9 cents pound to purchase one hundred bush els of sweet potatoes put up in tin cans, and the potatoes could be pro- duced on one acre of land, while it required from 20 to 25 acres of land to produce the cotton, yet thousands of dollars were sent to northern mar kets every year for canned sweet DO tatoes. People began to wonder if Texas could not raise sweet potatoes
 Will Abandon One-crsp System.
 When these facts were put squarely before the farmers and business men, they quickly saw the folly of raising nothing but cotton and buying all of their feed and foodstuffs from foreign markets. Bankers began to offer credit to those who wished to go into the live stock business and Texas fol lowing the plan of Arkansas began the organization of Pig and Poultry clubs.
 Money is loaned at the rate of 6 per cent interest per year and the boys and girls are to be directed in their work of raising pigs and poultry by the United States Government Agent and the bankers and business men will be repaid from the net earning coming from the investment

took active part, serving on commit tees and otherwise devoting their time, money, and energy to the work.
 Lecturers Ride MuIe-back.
 Rain and bad roads did not discour- age these determined educators. Mules were saddled and pressed into service when vehicles could not be pulled through the mud. 48,700 people at- tended the meetings, 100000 pieces of literature were distributed. A care full analysis of the statistics showed that Texas was sending over $200,000,- 900 annually to Northern and Eastern markets for feed and food products. It was plain to the business men that such an enormous drain on the wealth creating resources of the state greatly retarded it's development. It was found that if every farmer in Texas had a few chickens on his farm and marketed 10 dozen of eggs every week in the year, the amount of money re- ceived annually in the combined sale, at 20 cents dozen, would amount to over $60, ,000-nearly half as much money as the whole South asked in it's appeal for federal aid to finance distressed cotton growers.

HAITI THE LAND OF COFFEE
Plant Requires Comparatively No Att tention, and Is Extraordinarily
 Productive.

Coffee, the great staple product or Haiti, grows with little attention. It supplies the bulk of the revenues of the government, and the meager de- mands of the simple peasantry of the mountains and valleys whose business it is, especially the women and chill dren, to gather it and bring it to the seaport towns on their heads and on the backs of donkeys and horses. This plant is seen on nearly all the uplands and mountain sides of the country, and as the product is easily portable it is brought to market from far and near in all conceivable quantities, from one or two pounds up to 200 pounds, ac- cordingly as it is carried on the head of child, the back of horse, or in sacks in OK carts. Notwithstanding that the coffee plant is scarcely culti- vated at all, except in small patches around the cottages, it goes on repro ducing itself from fallen berries so successfully that the crop only varies from year to year through extraneous influences like variation in the rain fall-the lack of or too abundant rain near or during the towering season.

made. It is the first step into prac- tical system of diversified farming, and it is being put into practice by the school children of the state.
 The activities of Arkansas spread rapidly into Texas, where a f1fteen-day campaign was put on covering nearly all of the black belt from Fort Worth, Dallas, and Waco, to Houston and San Antonio. Fifteen counties were cov- cred and 520 meetings were held. In a single county, 86 meetings were put on in one day by Professor Holden's S corps of agricultural workers aug mented by local speakers furnished by the University of Texas, Baylor Col lege, Texas Industrial Congress, U. s. Department of Agriculture, and other cooperative agencies.
 The campaign was inaugurated in Temple, Texas, under the direction of the Temple Chamber of Commerce. 40 speakers were engaged in active field work. These men were divided into twenty crews. In each crew was school man who handled the rural schools, and educational institutions, and one practical agriculturist who spoke to the farmers. Two thousand people laid aside all other plans and

Seaweed Pie.

According to some French scientists seaweed will become one of the popu- lar foods of the future. Already Japan uses it in a number of dainty table dishes, and also cultivates it extensive ly that the supply may not give out.
 In Brittany, too, the lower classes gather as much as twenty to thirty tons a year, and call it by the name of Iceland moss. The peasants of north ern France are beginning to follow the example and number it among their articles of diet.
 In other localities the weed is looked upon as possessing great medicinal value, and in Corsica it is prescribed by the doctors as a sure cure for all kinds of goiter. As gelatins and aka lis are contained in the seaweed it is considered by the Asiat1cs to be invaI .uable in cases of severe indigestion.

South-that one-crop system will inn poverish any country and will impov- erish as well, the people who are liv- ing on it's farms.
 It is only through diversification of crops and the using of our energies every day in the year that we can make 8 great, rich country and a strong, prosperous people. It is hard to change old established methods, but the people, of the South are changing rapidly from the one-crop system to that of diversified farming-the grow ing of legume crops to enrich the soil and give it life and humus; the grow ing of live stock, grains, and other crops, and cotton as well. The produc- tion of cotton in the South will be in. creased under a system of diversified farming.
 The Great Forward Movement.
 This great forward movement in az ricultural development is forcibly en- phasized by activities of all interests in the South. Many states have effect ed permanent organizations to conduct
 
 provement of agriculture and com merce. Oklahoma, Arkansas Ala bama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tex as have been unusually active Mis- sissfppi realized the great need of real constructive work along agricultural lines more than a year ago, and a Grown in Mississippi" campaign, cov- ering the whole state, was the result. A Grown in Mississippi" week was set aside in 5000 schools of the state, and for one week during last Novem- Der, 750,000 school children studied grown in Mississippi products. Louisi- ana was covered with a Billion BusheP' Corn Train; with thirty agri- cultural lecturers, Oklahoma covered seventeen counties in the eastern DOT ton of the state, reaching 28,000 farm CTS and business men; Alabama is now conducting a statewide crop di- Versification campaign which will con- tinue for thirty-five days, reaching a hundred thousand people. All of these activities have been great CO., operative movements directed by P. G. Holden, of the Agricultural Extension Department of the International Har- Vester Company. These educational campaigns have revealed an impress sive lesson.
 The Turning of the Worm.
 The turning of the worm" in Ar kansas brought the people of that state face to face with 8 most aston ishing economic problem
 Early in November, 1914, Governor Hays of Arkansas, the Little Rock Chamber of Commerce, U. s. Depart ment of Agriculture, State Bankers Association, Railroads, State Depart ment of Agriculture and many other prominent interests of the state in- vited Perry G. Holden to come to Ar kansas, and direct statewide educa- tlonal Campaign there. Investigation proved that Arkansas was sending an nually $75,000,000 out of the state for the purchase of food products in the way of packing house products-corn, flour, cereals, canned vegetables, and fruit, feed for stock, and other home necessities, which could be more | cheaply produced at home. Just $11,- 100000 more than the Arkansas Cot ton Crop brought in 1913.
 Conduct Educational Campaigns.
 Professor Holden with a staff of thirty competent, practical lecturers, began the organization work in this great movement early in November. The campaign was inaugurated and
