NOTHING NEW IN JOKE LINE
Foolish 10 the HumorIst Who Would

To this charge we enter n plea OF
confession and avoidance. We con-
tend that the courts will take judicial
notice OF the fact that there II nothing
new under the sun, and In our judg-
ment the jokesmith is well within
his rights I'm resurrecting Joke
which was old in 1855.
The incident brings TO mind the fol-
lowing story: "The editor OF n Mime
sofa newspaper back I'm the sos con-
cocted the following: 'Yon Yonson put

handles were nickel plated and only

literature in an eastern university
wrote a very interesting article on
this joke. claiming that II represented
n distinctly American brand OF humor.
and that II could not have happened
In any other country or at any other

But alas for the professor OF Eng

Thumbs Down for Bouchard.

Thumbs Down for Bouchard.
Haggard and at bay, Bouchard faced
the circle OF frowns around the pol
ished expanse of that precious heir
loom. the dining-room table OF the Gal
lands. The dreaded reckoning of the
apprehensions which kept him rest
lessly awake at night had come at the
next staff council after the fall OF the
Twin Boulder Redoubt. With the last
| approach to the main line OF defense
cleared, one chapter OF the war was
finished. But the officers did not man
ifest the elation that the occasion
called for, which is not saying that
they were discouraged. They had no
doubt that eventually the Grays would
dictate peace In the Browns capital.
Exactly stated, their mood was one Of
repressed professional irritation, Not
until the third attempt was Twin Boul-
der Redoubt taken. AS far as results
were concerned, the nicely planned
first assault might have been q stroke
OF strategy by the Browns to drive
the Grays into an impassable fire zone.

his thin lips even less than usual. but
twisting them in significant manner
as he gave his words a rasping en-

his lead with equal candor.
Exactly We have no reports of
their artillery strength. which we had
greatly underestimated," said the
chief OF artillery.
Our maps OF their forts could not

purposes OF deceit. Again and again
we have thought that we had them

selves. In short, they know what we
are doing and we don't know what

pert.
There the chief OF the aerostatic al.
vision took the defensive.
They certainly don't learn our plans

declared energetically.
Hardly, when we never see them

THE Browns are acting on the de-
fensive In the air as well as on the

But our own planes and dirigibles

pungently.

THE VITAL PROBLEM Of
AGRICULTURE
BY Peter Radford.

There Is no escaping the market
problem and the highest development
of agriculture will not be attained
until 1t is solved, for market
Is as necessary for the producer
as land on which to grow his crop
Governmental and educati lal insti-
tutions have spent $180,OO0, 900 in the
United States during the past ten
years for improving soil production
and improving seeds and plants, but
very little attention and less money
has been given to the marketing side
of agriculture.
The problem is a monumental one
and one which will never be solved
until 1t gets within the grasp Of a
gigantic organization where master
minds can concentrate the combined
experience and wisdom Of the age
upon 1T. 1t Is a problem which the
FARMERS, merchants, bankers, editors
and statesmen must unite in solving.
The Farmers Union stands for all
there Is in farming from the most
scientific methods Of seed selection to
the most systematic and profitable
plans Of marketing, but does not be-
lieve In promoting one to the neglect
OF the other. We consider the work
OF farm demonstrators valuable and
we ask that governmental and COM
mercial agencies seeking to help us,
continue to give us their assistance
and advice, but we believe that their
influence should be extended to the
marketing side Of our farm problems
also.
We cannot hope to develop manu-.
facturing by over-production Of the
factory; we cannot build up mercan-
tile enterprises by the merchants load
Ing their. shelves with surplus goods
and no more can we develop agricul.
ture by glutting the market with a
surplus Of products.

NAPOLEON ON THE DIVINITY

Can you tell me who Jesus Christ

MUS depend? Upon force. Jesus

tudes with such an enthusiastic de-
votion that they would have died for
me, but to do this it was necessary
that | should be visibly present with
the electric influence Of my looks, of
my words, Of my voice. When saw
men and spoke to them, lighted up
the flame Of self-devotion in their
hearts. Christ alone has sue
ceeded in so raising the mind of man
towards the Unseen, that it becomes
insensible to the barriers of time and
space. Across chaSm of eighteen
hundred years, Jesus Christ makes a
demand which is beyond all others
ditticult to satisfy; He asks for that
which philosopher may often seek
in vain at the hands Of his friends,
or father Of his children, or a bride
OF her spouse, or a man of his bro
ther. He asks for the human heart;
He will have it entirely to Himself.
He demands it unconditiOnally; and
forthwith His demand is granted.
wonderful! In defiance Of time and
space, the soul Of man, with all it's
powers and faculties, becomes an an
neNation to the empire of Christ. All
who sincerely believe in Him, eXpe-
rience that remarkable supernatural
love towards Him. This phepome-
non is unaccountable; it is altogether
beyond the scope Of mans creative
powers. Time, the great destroyer,
is powerless to eXtinguish this sacred
flame; time can neither exhaust its
strength nor put limit to its range.
This it is which strikes me most: |
have often thought Of it. This It IS
which proves to me quite convinc-
ingly the Divinity Of Jesus Christ.

YAQUI INDIANS DECLARE WAR

many-Nlarines or.

Washington. June 17.-Admiral
Howard, commanding the Pacific
f1eet, was under orders to-day to pro-
ceed Immediately to Guaymas, on
the west coast of Mexico, with 800
blue Jackets and 800 marines, and
to dispatch this force 20 miles in
land, If necessary, to protect Ameri-
cans menaced by the Yaqui Indians.
The Indians had threatened TO ami
hilate all foreigners.
Orders 20 Admiral Howard to pro-
ceeG to Guaymas were sent by the
Navy Department following confer
ence between Navy and State Depart
nent officials.
State Department advices said that
the Indians had declared war on Ger
many, Mexico and the United States.
To Take No Territory.
American colonists in the Yaqui
Valley will determine for themselves
if they wish to leave the region of
Indian depradations. Instructions to
Admiral Howard, commanding the
Pacific fleet, who sailed to-day from
San Diego with a relief expedition of
marines and blue-jackets, are to give
refugees asylum if they ask it, to
land forces for rescue if necessary,
but not 10 take any territory.
The admhal to-day reported con-
ditions on the west coast Of Mexico
unchanged.
Governor Maytorcna, Of the State
Of Sonora, to-day advised the Uni
ted States it would be unnecessary
to land any Of Admiral Howard's s
forces to protect American colonists,
as he would furnish troops for the
purpose. Admiral Howard's orders
will remain unchanged, however, and
he will be expected to act with wide
discretion in any emergency.

INSANE HUSBAND sTABs WIFE
Mrs. Elizabeth Bishop Suffers Iniu-
ries Which May Prove Fatal

Spartanburg, June II. - Mrs.
Elizabeth Bishop, living on Forest
street was perhaps fatally injured
last night, as a result of slash
across her face made by pocket
knife i'll the hand of her husband,
who is supposed to have suffered a
temporary spell of insanity. The
woman's screams for help aroused
her 1S-year-old daughter, who was
sleeping with her. Jesse Bishop, the
injured womans husband was
placed in jail by the sheriff, after the
doctor, called in attendance, and a
grown son Of the woman had over
powered him and relieved him of the
knife, which showed blood stains.
Only one slash was made across
the face Of Mrs. Bishop. The blade
Of the knife evidently entered the
mouth, cutting the tongue almost en-
tirely off, and passed across the left
side OF the face, making deep
wound in the cheek. The physician
in charge of the case took several
stitches in dressing the injury,
which had bled profusely.
Yesterday afternoon the physician
went before the Probate Judge to
obtain the necessary papers for COM
hitting Bishop into the hospital for
the insane at Columbia. The only
explanation for Bishops act is that
he was in a fit Of temporary insan-
ity Up to the time Of the tragedy
Bishop was well respected citizen
and was considered a hard working
man Of the desirable type.
