Bv q. H. AFFORD, State Demonstration
Agent, Maryland.l
In Walworth county, Wisconsin, a
man who taught school for 20 years,
is farming a 4O-acre farm with won
derfuIs success. f. F. Showers is this
money-making teacher-farmer. He has
q herd Of cows that made him a net
profit of $72 a head in year.
Read his suggestions and story:
IF you are thinking of joining the
union so ysu will have but an eight or
ten-hour working day, do not think of
trying to operate a small farm To sue
coed in farming you must SO enjoy
your work that it becomes a pleasure
instead Of a task.
I'm fact, success in farming depends
upon the man who runs the farm. For
If he thinks enough of his problem he
will succeed no matter what lines of
farming he may pursue. Love and en-
joy your work Study each of your
fields to know it's weaknesses and it's
possibilities. Harvest your crops SO
that you will receive the largest re-
turn from them. Give your herd a
chance. Produce, care for, and raise
only the best.
Study Each Field.
II study each field so that | know
what crop it will produce to best adj
vantage. A farmer can do this on the
small fields. The farmer on the small
farm must utilize all the corners Of
the farm. The returns from some
fields on small farm will be equal
to the wastes upon many large farms.

department the report of General Bell,
commander at Fort Hancock, saying
the fighting occurred one and half
miles from San Chez ranch, near Fort
Hancock, at 5 80 o'clock in the morn
Ing. General Bells report implied

Eft Paso, Tex, Aug. 1.-Two Ameri-

and five Mexican bandits killed in
battle five miles south of Fort Han
cock on Monday
The Americans dead are John J..
Twoomey, Troop F, Eighth Massachu-
sets cavalry, and Robert Woods, spe-
cial customs inspector. Sergt. Lewis
Thompson of Troop Il was wounded.
American authorities were told by
Carranza officers that bandits were in
the vicinity of Fort Hancock. Cow
boys trailed the outlaws to Mexican
ranch house just on the American
side of the border, with seven sol
diers of Troop F, Eighth cavalry.
The owner of the ranch met the
men at the door. He denied the pres
ence of the bandits.
Woods and Sergeant Thompson, in
command of the soldiers, rode for
ward. AS they did the Mexican fed
to the house and began firing from the
door.
His companions inside poked rifles
through the adobe wall and fired
volley.
Woods fell from his horse at the
first shot. AS he did he jerked out
his gun and killed the ranch owner.
The soldiers charged and Twoomey
fell. The American rifles proved too
hot and the Mexicans fed.
Those who escaped, General Bell
Carranzas troops. Their capture was
predicted.
United States troopers will not be
sent across the line to hunt the mar
auders, according to a statement at
army headquarters here.
Sergeant Thompson was brought to
the army hospital here on the train
bringing Woods body. Thompson
gave the following account of the
fight:
"Captain Marujo, in command of
eight Carranzista soldiers stationed
at San Ignacio, reports having cap
tured four bandits on the Mexican
side Of the line and reports five 9TH
ers escaped to the American side.
"After the fight between, bandits
and the Massachusetts troops, Maru-
jail with his soldiers crossed the line
and took charge of the bodies of the
bandits.
''This was done, it is said with the
consent of Customs Officer Bean.
Marujal then took up pursuit of flee
ing bandits in Mexico. 1t is believed
they are seriously wounded. The
clothing of dead bandits contained
nothing that would help to establish
their identity"

ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL OF
s314,ooo,ooo is PASSED.
An Amendment Giving the Soldiers on
the Border the Right to Vote
on the Field Eliminated.

Washington, July 29.-Nearly $780,
100000 for national defense in the fis-
cal year 1917 is the aggregate OF pro-
posed appropriations reached in the
senate with the passage Of the army
appropriation bill, carrying in round
numbers $314, 100000.
This grand total for preparedness
still is subject to revision, however,
because the army bill will follow the
naval bill into conference, where re-
auctions are probable, despite the firm
attitude of President Wilson in sup
porting the liberal response of the sem
ate to the call for adequate defense.
The appropriations for prepared
ness as they now stand are as follows:
