Kathleen Norris, the well-known nov
elist. has written about California for
the January American Magazine, In her
article she says:
yet it is possible to-day, on forty
acres of land, to have livelihood, and
bank account, and home, in any one
of hundred fertile canyons. There are
little families there raising few peaches
and few calves and few pigs, sowing
a few acres to alfalfa (three or four
crops yearD, renting out the team to
neighboring farmers at three dollars
day, sending a few pounds of butter to
market every week, and perhaps drying
few hundred pounds of apricots every
spring-who spend during the year per-
haps one tenth of the money they make.
There are splendid schools all through
out the state, and although too kindly
climate encourages the building OF rather
unsubstantial wooden houses, and one
Iaments the contrast to the beauty OF
the New England villages, yet the gar
dens atone for everything, and the wide
spread content and thrift more than
make UP for the lost beauty

TWELVE KILLED

persons were killed and twenty injured
in the tornado which swept over centla!
Arkansas late Tuesday, according TO le'
ports received here yesterday. IL was
feared reports from districts not yet
heard from would add TO the casualty
list. Estimates OF property damage ran
us high as s3,000,00o,
Apprehension regarding the fate of the
state convict farm az Tucker, in the path
of the storm, was allayed when report
came saying no one was injured there.
A tremendous downpower OF water
and high wind accompanied the storm,
and railroads yesterday were facing
washouts, high water, and torn up telc'
graph lines. No trains had arrived IN
this city up to noon yesterday from
Pine Bluff, just south OF the stricken dis
trict.
For a hundred miles from Grant conn-
ty, over portions of Pulaski, Lonecke,
Jefferson and Prairie county, the lorna
do spread destruction.
A score of victims were taken TO Pine
Bluff and placed in hospitals there. The
suffering of many injured left through
the night on the plantations was acute.
Relief crews were sent out immediate
Nv after the storm from Pine Bluff to
search the stricken area.

ments yesterday thrust the Mexican sit
uation to the foreground here. The first
was a statement from the state depart
ment that unrest in northern Mexico
is growing and that administration at
| tention once more is focused on the bor-
der.
The second was the announcement by
Secretary OF the Interior Lane that he
had issued call for a conference OF
the American members OF the American
Mexican commission "at some early
date" probably this week. Up to noon
no word had been received as TO whether
General Carranza had signed the troop
withdrawal protocol agreed upon by the
commission.
The department statement declared
that the authorities have information
that large groups of bandits are on the
rampage in northern Mexico and that
the situation sis such as to give the
department fresh concern"
The state department newspaper con.
ference this afternoon considered in
discussion almost exclusively of Next
can matters. 1t was officially said that
the department suspects Villa is getting
all the arms he needs across the Dor
der. but Just how it is done the depart
ment does not know. The department
would not admit that conditions are
worse than they were few months
ago, when, in a note to Carranza, the
situation was characterized as "deplora-
BILE"
Men in close touch with the state de-
partment were inclined TO believe yes
terdays emphasis on Mexican affairs was
intended as preparation of the public
for possible serious developments, es-
pecially as Carranza, so far as it is
known has not yet signed the Ameri-
can Mexican protocol.
1t is hoped, however, that Carranza has
signed the protocol and that the message
saving so has been delayed in transmits
sion. Otherwise the time limit to, Car
rama to reply will be extended to to-
day, when the joint commission meets.

The Vanishing Sheep.

Secretary Houston means well when he
urges New England farmers to raise
more sheep, and when he makes an APP
peal to the city business men of this
region to give the farmers the financial
backing necessary for this industry, if
it is desired. His arguments are familiar
and his statistics as to the profits to be
gained, with wool and mutton even re-
naming in sight of their present figures,
were never more impressive. But New
England farmers, whatever the effect of
the appeal on the city banker and mer-
chant, viii in all probability continue to
smile indulgently and shake their heads.
The vanishing sheep do not give the
farmer any worry. Even when Maine
farmer, w. B. Kendall of Bowdoinham,
keeps flock of more than thousand
sheep, the largest flock in New England,
and makes it pay handsome profit and
breaches sheep raising to Maine farmers
in season and out, his neighbors only
shake their heads and express themselves
as having more faith in summer board
ers or sweet corn or the dairy business
than in sheep.
The Springfield Republican says that
the one word, "Dogs!" is, in the mind
of the farmers, sufficient answer to
all arguments for sheep raising But
MANY farmers have answers that they
consider more conclusive than that. They
will tell you that sheep 'eat their heads
Off during the long months when they
must be fed in the barns; that they
cause the land to run OUT; that disease
causes far greater ravages in the aver
age flock than dogs do. The first wire
fences. which were of barbed wire, were
a factor in causing farmers to dispose OF
their sheep, but later wire fences, cheap
er than other fencing and without the
wool dragging barbs, have nullitied that
argument.
In the mean time the steady decrease
of our sheep continues, and the imports
of wool grow larger and larger. The o.
900 sheep revealed by the 1900 CEN
sus had declined to fewer than 50,ooo,ooo
in 1915. Here in New England the sheep,
excluding lambs, dropped from 1862 ,234
in 1880 to 306,443 in 1910 About half
the present total of New England sheep
are If, Maine. and the number there has
dropped to less than 100000 and has
long been decreasing regularly about TO-
600 year. The American sheep appears
TO be headed down the trail that the dodo
and aux have gone, and is close on the
heels of the lobster, assuming lobster
has heels; but the American farmer, and
particularly the New England farmer, is
disposed to let Others do the worrying.

Asks the British Army in
France, Says Observer
on the Somme
SENTIMENT AT
THE FRONT is
Internationally Again st
Ending Struggle Against
Germany Now

With the British armies in France
Dee 2s.-"Never has the British army
been so prepared TO fight; why should
we talk peacei
"You can safely give that as the Brit
ish army's answer to all peace talk" de-
clared a staff general yesterday in re-
Spouse to questions OF what he and his
men thought OF President Wilson's peace
note.
To say that the American note fell
like bombshell here is putting it mild
ly. Bombshells are always more or less
expected hereabouts; whereas such a
step as that taken by the American pres.
ident was remotest removed from all
thoughts.
The move was variously commented
upon by the fighting men. Nobody
doubted for an instant the presidents
good intentions in the suggestion, but
the feeling was that strong influences
had succeeded in inducing him to believe
this was an opportune moment to act.
Such action was regarded as smoothing
Germany's road and enabling her to take
the second step in her peace plot
Sentiment at the front is uncondition-
ally against peace now. Every indication
points to much worse conditions in Ger
many than the world even suspects; on
the other hand, the allies are daily bet
ter situated to wage successful Often
sive.
The British, who are little given to
demonstrativeness, are unanimous In
their expression of absolute confidence of
the comparatively early defeat of the
central powers under pressure of the al
lies gathering strength.

In the Sewing Room.

In sewing at home, there are few
items that are well worth remembering:
The first of these concerns pins used in
fitting and cutting. One should be sure,
very sure, that all pins are clean; rusty
pin will mar fabric, and nothing will
more quickly tend to rust and soil them
than to hold them in ones mouth until
needed; often this will spot light ma
terial and moisture spot of this sort
cannot be eradicated. Also use small
pins; large. coarse ones make holes, and
often cut the threads of silk goods.

ruffie. To rejuvenate such pettcoat
and put it in satisfactory condition re-
quires but little time and slight expense,
for the silk need not be matched nor need
one purchase the made-ready ruliies sold
in the large shops; all that is required
is four or five inch wide ribbon OF some
fancy design that contrasts well with
the petticoat; this naturally does not
even demand hemming; one has only to
gather it on one edge and ruliie it on the
