For the City Farmer.
From Farm and Firesid

The fatal mistake of many people
taking to farm life is a rush Of n
thusiasm before properly planning the
future life. They give up good Jobs.

invest. depending upon their new eff

that should have been previously pro
vided for.
There are many thousands of CITY

their conditions by having. their fami-

Guglielmo Ferrero, in the New York
American.
The relations between Germany and
italy are one of the most singular myster-
les of the European war at this moment.
After having several tir es threatened to
give Italy q taste Of the Bavarian soldiers
Il Italy declared war on Austria, since the
war was declared Germany has been con-
tented with breaking off diplomatic rela-
lions with her former ally and covering
her, not with the shot of her cannon. but
with the insults of her newspapers. The
chancellor of the empire hurled a terrible
ipeech at us from the reichstag and the
Hon. Salandra replied to him from the
sampidoglio but no act or fact has been
he outcome of the words of the two heads
" state. Germany has not declared war
IN Italy. The Italian soldiers and the
German soldiers have not yet met. at
east at the time of writing here.
This strange condition of things gives
he imagination activity. and it runs to
he most varied and different interpreted
ions. OF those three are most credited,
tnd they form a sort of graduation. Many
Zee IN this affair only a question Of form,
which has no political or military impor-
ance; a simple diplomatic game in which
'ach OF the two countries tries to throw
he responsibility of the wal upon the
'ther. According to others. this game Is
more serious, because. they say, that Ru-
nan1a's entrance into action depends on
whether 1t is Germany or Italy that de-
'lares war. And those exist, who go very
much further. absolutely suspecting a hid
len. darksome treaty between Germany
md Italy. They think Germany and Italy
have a secret understanding to divide the
remains OF Austria among themselves and
then unite in a new alliance against the
ripple entente. According to those peo-
pie. when Italy has conquered the Italian
provinces Of Austria, Germany will grab
the German provinces of Austria and COM
pei Hungary to do her bidding.
1t must be known that in Italy there is
A pro-German party that is not very
numerous. but, on the other hand, is very
powerful through the position 1t holds.
The nss,jority of the chamber and the SEN
ate. the big o~ffceholders Of the state. were
almost all favorable to Germany before
the war, and resolutely adverse to every
sdea OF going against that country.
AT court as well the Germanophile party
had a considerable number Of adherents.

influences in his efforts to maintain Italy

TO windward was In every deed which pro-
vided that the colony should have the
nrst chance to buy out any dissatisfied
member or who should be obliged by cir
cumstances to separate from 1t. It was a
lively little colony socially. but of q quiet
~sOclaoiity. 1t was never lonely for the
women for hundreds of cars passed daily
on the big trancontinental road.
n these cars slowed and their occu-
pants gazed and envied as they went by
the colony. For the lawns were deep and
beautiful with flowers and grass and the
sunlight dappled through the trees and
the hollyhocks stood bold and bright and
wave at them as they went by. There
was the little park set aside when the coll
ony was laid out with its nnis court and
swings for the young folks and the chill
dren and the benches under the trees
where the old folks might sit. Folks in
town never turned Town an invitation for

Chicago, (special)-Your old friend,

from Solomon Wester1eld, chairman

yesterday.
Meat. cabbage. flour. sugar. apples
and beans all command higher prices
tina they did a year ago, according
to Mr.. Westerfield, chiefly because Of

eggs, butter, potatoes and lemons are
slightly lower. Here is a bit Of the

Washington Hears financially
That BcrIiu Has Taken such Action

WASHINGTON. oct. 2s.--Heports were
current here TODAY that the German
Government has declared an embargo on
all exports from Germany. Secretary
Lansing said. however. that the State
Department has not yet been advised OF
such action.
For several months the German Cow
NJ has been unwilling to make ex-
ceptions In favor OF the expectation TO
the United states Of articles such a. dye
stufs which were Enlarged early IN
the year. The German Government has
demanded in return for permission to ex-
port that American goods of equal value
he sent 20 Germany. This action by Ger
many has been regarded here as an at
tempt to bring pressure On the United
States TO force Great Britain to abandon
its blockade of Germany.
The British Government has been will
ing to let German d~yestuffs and other
articles. the only sources of supply OF
which are in Germany. TO pass through
the blockade.
