AS INDUSTRIAL CONGRESS At
MEETING JANUARY 10.

DALLAS. Texas. Dee. 30.-With both
farm prosperity and general prosperity
for 1916 depending upon the cash crop
being surplus. or a profit abeyc the
farm living expense. the Texas Indus
trial Congress will make its annual cen
v%ention. to bc held January II. 1916. an
inauguration of Il general campaign for
the homegrown living on the farms.
The program il being prepared with this
end in view. and every man interested
in putting a firm foundation under his
business during 1916 il urged to partici-
pate. The purchasing and paving power
Of the average farmer Is limited. not
only by yields much lower than his land
is capable of producing. bat because he
lives too much from the tin can and the
paper sack aud the ownership Of his
crop passes from him before ii II ready

the state suffer also from this cause.
Following the convention the congress
invites correspondence from commercial
secretaries and philosophical business

In connection with the efforts Of the
Turkish authorities to restrict military
activity on the Sea of Marmora. a rath-
or amusing incident occurred last July.
The officers of II certain German sub
marine were in the habit Of dining at
one Of Pera's best hotels. 30 did the
officers Of an English submarine on NJ
least one occasion. At that time the Tur-
kiSh government. a. il does even today.
permitted the subt,ts of hostile gov
ernments Ia move freely about Constan-
tinople. Dining one day at this hotel.
the commander Of 4 German submarine
was given 10y the waiter a letter which
bore his full name and address. The
waiter said that on the previous eve.
ming the letter had been left by a party
of five. one of whom seemed to be an
American.
The letter contained greetings from
the officers Of the British submarine To
the officers Of the German submarine.
u was couched in friendly terms, show
ing further that the sponsors Of the
letter were Of a sportive turn of mind.
They would meet some dayioked the
NiilNi vi lHt mtSNt~t anu INV NVhi'
see who would get the best of IL.
Whether or not the waiter was right
in his assertion that an American had
been in the party. is hard 10 say. At any
rate. the Turkish government began a.
keep close watch on the United States
stationship Scorpion. While the vessel
still lay at lis mornings of kabatash.
Turkish nFotorboatS patrollcd the ad-
jancnt waters constantly while 1T the
jctty, which the crew and visitors Of
the Scorpion had to use. police officials
inquired closely. into the purpose Of cv-
cry trip To or from the vessel. A little
later the Turkish government. on the
plea that the mornings Of the Scorpion
were no longer safe. insisted that the
vessel take Il new station in the Golflcn
Horn. beyond the new and old bridges
AT 4 point where British submarines
could not cndanger her. The protests
Of Ambassador Morgcnthau against
this uncomplimentarv procedure on the
part Of the Turkish government were
useless. The commander Of the Scorpi
on. Captain Morton. said thar the suS.
picionS on whirh the Turkish govern
ment had acted devoid of I'll justilica-

PLANTATION is due to those who may be
puzzled at seeing spades promoted IN
rank and occupying a position only
superseded IN Importance by no trump.
Spades having one value now instead
Of two needs but a single name for its
Identification. Consequently, the ticti-

tinguish its higher valuation has been
dropped as unnecessary. Spades count
now as nine, and hereafter when men
tion is made of the suit players should
bear in mind the higher count-the
count formerly known as royals.
The unit values of the suits remain
exactly as they were. Clubs and dia-
monds at six and seven, respectively,
take fve-odd FOR game. hearts and
spades at eight and nine four-odd. and
no trump al ten. three-odd. The change
is effective only in overcalhnG dcclara-
tions.
As study Of the law will show. any
numerically higher declaration over

monds and clubs follow in order, as
heretofore.
The adoption of the new values Of so
for a small slam and 100 for a grand
slam was n foregone conclusion. The
old values of 20 and 40, inherited from
the former game of bridge, were en-
tirely out of proportion TO the in

Improvement in play as the result Of
efforts to secure the higher bonuses
has shown itself in places where the
new rule has already gone into effect.
The next law of importance deals
with the examination Of cards before
the completion of a deal. A penalty
now takes the place Of the admonition,
in the etiquette of auction, that a
player should not look az any of his
cards until the end of the deal. II
reads as follows:

ODD TRAPS FOR ANIMALS
Though Not Meant To Be
Such, They Are Fatal.

That almost unerring instinct which
carries animals through grave dangers
has led in many instances in the Mid
way and Sunset oil fields of California
TO their undoing, asserts THE Scien-
tific American" Chief among such
victims are rabbits and water fowl.
A jackrabbit and cottontail find a
nice round, smooth hole. There are
many such in the oil fields, where oil
piping is a necessity for the trans
portation of oil to the refneries. The
rabbits decide to set up housekeeping
there. The cottontail desires a per
manent home, and the jackrabbit wants
a refuge safe from malevolent man.
Soon they discover their habitat is
being moved. No doubt they are
frightened, but they instinctively stay
within their retreat. One end of the
hole is closed. Even then they do not
leave. Soon the other end of the hole
is darkened. Then it is darkness eter-
nal for the furry pair.
Some time later it is discovered that
a newly laid oil pipe line is choked.
After great labor the line is disjointed
and the remains of many rabbits re-
moved Thousands of rabbits have been
thus exterminated in the oil fields.
The death rate among water fowl is
even greater. Again, as with the rab-
bit, instinct leads them TO certain de-
struction. Every little lake of oil in
the vicinity of a gusher is a trap for
the unthinking birds. At twilight and
dawn these tar colored lakes appear as
bodies of water to the deluded fowl.
