TRYING TO BUILD
UP THE TERRITORY.
NJ, c. & st. L. Railway Active
In Promoting Live Stock and
Farming interests.

The activities of the Nashville
Chattanooga 81 st. Louis Railway in
seeking to promote better farming and
live stock raising in the territory served
by it have recently called forth sever
al commendatory editorials from the
papers over the country.
AS a result of the work done on the
demonstration farms of the company,
many farmers have been aroused to the
possibilities of their land and have
been following the system Of cultiva-
tion and crop rota tion to advantage.
The forces engaged in this work under
the direction of special agricultural
agent Joseph II. Judd are now arrang-
ing for a series of farm meetings to be
announced shortly at which the farmers
IN the several sections adjacent to the
ten demonstration farms of the road
may gather and hear discussed by ex-
ptrts the best meth DDS of farming, and
will also have solved for their benefit
the various problems with which they
may be contending on their individual
tracts.
A decided impetus has been given
the raising OF better cattle thru tho
work of the road in the placing OF pure
farmers took sufficient interest in bet
ter live stock to secure number of
pure-bred heifers and cows. Another
element in the promotion of better
live stock on the farm is the work Of
the company in encouraging and
organizing live stock associations in
the several counties and aiding in the
Inauguration of cattle sales for the ben-
eft of the farmers.
1t is estimated that approximately
3, 900 head of pure-b bred cattle have been
placed with the farmers in the terri
tory along the N. e. c. by this method
alone. In addition the company has
purchased two foundation herds of
Shorthorn cattle.
This work is Of such character as to
commend it to those who really have
the interests of tho several communi-
ties at heart, and has the hearty endorse
ment and cooperation of the Division
of Extension OF the University of
Tennessee and also the State Depart
merit Of Agriculture.

Yale football livened up considerably
in Tuesdays practice when the scrubs
were able to hold the varsity for the
first time since practice commenced. Cap
tain Black had his first day off since
practice started. Carter took Black s
place at left guard, while Smith, one OF
the varsity scrubs of last season played
at center. Hutchinson, the big back, was
at his old position in the backfield and
played a sterling game. While the sec
ond team was not able to reach the goal,
they made their first downs on several
occasions. Battery B of the Yale bat
TALON returned to New Haven Tuesday
night, being relieved from military duty.
Coach Brickley is well pleased with the
showing OF his 40 men on the gridiron
in their first real taste of battle this fall.
The battle lasted 40 minutes with both
teams tied at 90 g. Brickley was
pleased with the work of his charges,
especially the strong defense put up by
his linemen and the kicking of Curry,

MUST LET MEXICO ALONE.
President Says State Parasitism of Big
Business Can No Longer Be
Tolerated.

Philadelphia, Sept. 2l,--Amplfying
what he said about Mexico in his speech
of acceptance OF Sept. 2, to the effect
that the people of Mexico have not
been suffered to own their country or d.
rect their own institutions" President
Woodrow Wilson declares, in signed
article appearing in the Ladies Home
journal for October, headed "The Mex.
lean Question" that the state parasitism
of big business which seeks Intervention
in Mexico, can no longer be tolerated in
the United States without reyiving the
"gravest suspicious throughout all the
states of America"
The president believes that Mexico
must, no doubt, suffer through long
processes of blood and terror before she
finds herself and return to the paths OF
peace alone to make this struggle, just
as other nations older in political expert
ence than she have staggered and strug-
gled through these dark ways for years
together, to find themselves at last, to
come out into the light to know the
price of liberty, to realize the compul
sion OF peace and orderly processes OF
law"

British Steamer Strathtay, Sunk BY a

Washington, Sept. 2l.-Consul General

sailors, William Wootton of Harrison,

Sept. in the English channel.
Whether the Strathtay was attacked
without warning was not stated Def
mite information on this point will be
sought before any inquiry is addressed
to Germany.
The Strathtay sailed Aug. % from
New York for Havre and earlier reports
of her sinking said the entire crew was
saved.
Affidavits from the American mule
