THE desert region of Chihuahua pos

riety of cacti. ranging from tiny plants
no larger than a finger to the giant
pitahaya. pushing its tall stem to
height of fifty feet. Then there are the
mesuuits, the tornilla. the agaves and
the yuccas. all armed with spikes as If

Under conditions like these the cav

practically Indispensable; indeed. it is
a bout the only kind of military force
that can be used to advantage. No
othNr part of the American army has
had SO much work to do in the past
as the cavalry. and the present eNpe

the war in Europe may seem to have
taught. the American people always
will thrust their cavalry when emer-

birds of the region is the chaparral

Guessing at the Future.
(Bridgeport Farmer.)

Effort to forsee the future after the war. has been one of the Jops of lh- tellect ever since the fighting began These efforts range all the way rom the wild predictions of fakirs ana Dretended magicians to the reason able statements of highly equipped thinkers, like H. G. Wells. Leaving out the views of those who gre merely guessing, and considering ] cnly the conclusions of men who at tempt to apply the lessons of the
 past, to existing facts and conditions, there is a general tendency to peheVe l that there will be much more CO., l operation after the war than there was before.
 1 These conclusions are based upon
 many ia cts, some of them tiny, when
 taken alone. Some of the chief facts 1 considered are these.
 That the war, by the necessity of the situation, has increased CO., operation in every direction. Nations that did not own their railroads inn
 nediate1y took them over. That 1 nations which formerly treated 1n- l Gustrv as a purely private concern, have taken over certain industries,
 @nd are administering the control of many others.
 That millions of men, having (1earned that industry can be or l ganized so as to maintain great
 army and care for a multitude of non-producers will insist upon an equally efficient management in time of peace.
 Taken into consideration are such l circumstances as that Lloyd George has become about the biggest man i in Great Britain, and that he is an enthusiastic of cooperative methods iii government.
 That the German methods which are highly socialistic, being borrowed largely from the socialists, who are numerous in Germany, have proved more effective for the organization of a nation than the more Individuals tic methods of Germany and France.
 And finally, it is urged that the socialist propadandists, who in all the countries of Europe are a numer- ous and influential party, will be in- creased in importance and influence, after the war, and will be able to procure a wider hearing for their economic and political ideals.
 Prophecy is the most difficult of tasks. He who predicts the future does it at the risk of being discredited ny events. Nevertheless, the best that the most competent thinkers can ar rive at is about what The Farmer at tempts briefly to describe.

NEW EMBARGO GOES
 INTO EFFECT FRIDAY
Congestion of Freight at Manhattan Piers Makes Action by New
 York and Hartford Trnuerative

New York, March 1.-The accum- ulation of freight at New York piers resulting in acute congestion, has in creased greatly in consequence of the persistent stormy weather. The streets have presented such slippery footing for horses as to reduce truck ing efficiency substantially one-half, necessarily slowing up delivery of merchandise. Delivery of Hghterage freight in New York harbor is also very slow. These conditions have re- suited in an accumulation at rail ter 1ninals destined to New York harbor points now amounting to apprOxi- mately 2,00O cars and it has become imperative for the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad com pany to temporarily suspend the ac- ceptance of freight at stations on it's lines for delivery at Pier 39 group, East river and in connection with the New England Steamship company via sound ports.
 An embargo to that effect will be issued by the New Haven company to take effect at midnight, March ls, and continued for the briefest possl- ble time necessary to enable the com- panv to reduce the congestion at its New York piers and cars waiting on the line as mentioned.

 She had a fear that I wouldn't re- turn to her, and I had no desire to do so," he said.
 Partly shielding her face with an ermine boa, Mrs. de Patterson said that she regretted her act.
 There must be some more serious reason behind this, said Magistrate Levy, "something I haven't been told I admonish you not to annoy or dis grace your husband again. Your good lcoks will not help you the next time. l won't hesitate to do something drastic.'
 Upon her promise to cease her at tacks Magistrate Levy suspended sen- tence.

MT. and Mrs. de Patterson have been sepa- rated for about two months Mrs. de Patterson living at 168 East Sixty sixth street, and her husband at the club, and, according to MT. de Patter- son, the motive for the attack was his refusal to live with his wife.

 Wants Scenes Prevented.
 The story of a brief courtship fol- lowed by an unhappy marriage, was t9ld yesterday by Mr. de Patterson to Magistrate Levy in the West Side court, where the case was heard. The complainant asked that his wife be restrained from visiting him at the club and creating scenes by her actions.
 While stopping at New York fotel, where she was also a guest, MT. de Patterson became acquainted with other members of her family, and learning of 8 slight illness she had, his interest was aroused, and they met
 Our courtship lasted only two weeks" said de Patterson. Tt was case of love at first sight, as be- fore our meeting I never had even heard of her. Please do not be severe with her"
 MT. de Patterson, in response to a question by Magistrate Levy, declared that it was impossible for him to live with his wife, for she had both tenn nerament and temper He said they separated on January 29 last, and that a reconciliation was impossible

THE DIFFERENCE

Almost anybody with initiative can start
something new, but it takes more than in
itative to distinguish the new thing which
the people want from the new thing
about which the people care not straw.
This store is newer today in this right
kind of way than ever before, and the
newness is the kind wanted by the women
who know. Some stocks of women's
clothes and other wearabIes have about
as much individuality as row of pins.
Others are different.
Our suits, our coats, our dresses, our
waists, our hats, shoes and gloves can
never be the same from year to year, be-
cause there is no limit to the amount of
excellence we want to put in them.
The excellence of fall and winter stocks
is noticeable.
