SWEPT BY BANDITS.
Rural Districts in South Mexico
Are Ravaged.
Robberies and Murders Of Daily oc-
ourrence, Some Of Them Just Out
side Vera Cruz city-Sus-
poets Executed on Spot.

Vera Cruz, Mexfco.-It is dangerous
for unprotected travellers to venture
into the region that lies between Vera
Cruz and the City of Mexico. Bandits
are In COMPLETE possession OF the rural
districts. Reports of robberies and
murders by brigands are received here
daily. Some of these crimes are COM
the city. Railroad travel is 80 haz-
ardous that few people care to under
take the journey between here and the
capital. Almost every passenger train
is held UP and its passengers robbed.
The old-time method Of freighting by
OK team was recently put Into prac-
tice on the route between Jalapa and
Vera, Cruz on account of the uncer-
tainty of transportation ON the rail-
road. All Of these freighting wagons
are accompanied by guards of SOL
dlers.
Never. even in the period immedi-
ately following Diaz's ascending to
the presidency. has there been wit
messed such widespread brigandage as
is now going on all over southern
Mexico. The bandits are numbered by
the thousands. They operate boldly.
without any attempt being made to
modest them except In the larger
towns. The villages and rural COM
munities are at their complete mercy.
Very few OF the wagon trains that
leave Vera Cruz for interior towns
arrive with their loads; almost in
variably they are held up and looted
of the merchandise.
In the mountains around the beau
tiful city OF Jalapa, capital of the
state OF Vera Cruz, brigandage Is 80
rife that many of the coffee planters
and other rural residents have been
forced to seek refuge in the town.
In the state Of Oaxaca. where an In.
dependent government has been in
existence for two years, an effort is
being made to put an end to brigand
age by executing on the spot all per
sons who cannot give a good account
of themselves. The more remote min
ing districts of Oaxaca are said to be

MAY BAR "PROXY" BRIDES
New immigration Bill Would Abolish
Japanese Marriages on "Ple-

Washington proxy" or pic

anese in this country select wife

her into the United States, is going to
be abolished If the new immigration

Between 1000 and 5000 Japanese

FORCED FROM PETS
Aged Woman Gives Up Twenty
Years. Struggle.
Since Passing Scriptural Age Limit,
Her Life Has Borne Out Bib
lical Promise Of Labor
and Sorrow

st. Paul.-After twenty years
struggle to remain independent, Mrs.
Della Maxwell, lightweight years old,
was taken to the City hospital to live
out the remainder of her life. Officials
of the Wilder charities found her i'll
in a desolate basement at State and
Eaton streets and took her away in
an ambulance.
Three Angora cats, which, with their
progenitors, have been Mrs. Maxwell's
lifelong companions, were left with
neighbors, and she was told that she
might have them near her in her new
home.
For four years charity workers have
tried to get Mrs. Maxwell to go to
some institution where she might live
comfortably, but she persistently re-
fused to listen to such proposals for
fear she would be separated from her
pets.
At intervals she would be lost sight
of, to be discovered later in some Sc
Guided basement or tenement, hiding
herself and her feline companions.
With each rediscovery of the aged
woman a new effort would be made
to induce her to enter a charitable
home. When she refused, fuel and
food would be brought. But, once dis
covered, her place of abode was soon
changed.
Since passing the three-score-and-ten
scriptural age limit, Mrs. Maxwelfs
life had borne out the biblical promise
OF being filled with labor and sorrow.
About twenty years ago her husband,
who was bookkeeper in one of the
city offices, died. Their life was COM
Portable, but the husbands salary had
given little opportunity to save and he
left but small estate.
Mrs. Maxwell invested her little in
heritance in horse and tiny farm In
one OF the suburbs. She planned to
live by marketing and keeping blooded
cats and chickens. But shortly after
this one of her legs was broken. II
was badly set and left her permanent
cripple. She stayed on the farm If
teen years, gradually getting into debt.
Then her horse died. She had become
so feeble she had to give up her farm.
She sold 1t for little more than enough
to pay her debts and came to town,
planning to earn as much as possible
with her chickens and cats. The Low
ing Kindness branch Of the Sunshine
society discovered her soon after she
returned to town. She was in need.
The branch provided for her since that
time, when she could be found. The
Wilder and Associated charities helped.
The board of control saw that she was
supplied with coal.
On Christmas day charity workers
found Mrs. Maxwell one of the hap
piest of their charges. With plenty OF
coal and frequent baskets of provisions
and with her pets she was more cheer
full than many who had all that money
could buy, she told them. A day or
two ago, however, the aged woman
became so Ill she had to take to her
bed. Then 1t was decided that her
wishes at last must be overruled and
the ambulance took her away from her
pets to the hospital.

Location Of The Garden.

In selecting the location for a
home vegetable garden the ques-
ton of proximity to the house
should be given first consideration
As the work of caring for the garden
is usually done in spare time, the
location selected should be as near
the house as possible. The slope
and type of soil should be the next
consideration. A slope to the
south or southeast is usually pre-
ferable, because here the soil warns
up early in the spring, which per-
mits early planting and stimulates
the early growth of crops. Practi-
cally any type of soil can be used
for the garden, but a sandy loan
is to be preferred.
Good drainage is of prime i'm
portance. The land should have
sufficient fall to drain off surplus
water during heavy rains, but the
fall should not be so great as to
wash the soil. If the land near
the house is level, artificial drain
age should be employed. Open
bitches or tile drains will be salts
factory. On level land that is not
artifCially drained it is necessary
to plant on ridges or in bebs to
prevent drowning the crops during
wet weather. The ridges or beds
should be as wide and fiat as con,
ditionswill allow, for narrow, sharp
ridges dry out quickly.

Grazing Crops For Hogs.
BY T. II. CASANOVA

As general thing and with
most farmers corn and hog are
synimous terms. Hog and Homi-
nv are and should be and are very
closely related farm products but
the most economical gains of hogs
cannot be made on corn at present
prices. A certain number of swine
can be proftably raised on every
farm to consume wastes and furnish
a good part of the meat provided
that some means have been direct
ed toward keeping these hogs on
pastures of green forage. Though
the hog fed on grain alone will
often grow more rapidly those that
All abundance of green forage and
a small quantity of grain will pro-
duce the cheapest pork in Louis
lana.
Since number of farmers are
interested in the raising of hogs
cheaply it will certainly pay to
have them as much as possible
kept on pastures of growing crops
planted in rotations and supple
mented with cheap feeds. Usual.
ly experimenting oats, sweet pota-
toes and corn with Stops of rice
polish, or other feed containing
nitrogen and a crops of peas, soy
beans, peanuts and clovers with
some such feed as corn.
A good three year rotation in
this parish could be made by di-
viding the land into three fields.
In the first plant oats and clover
in early fall field two plant early
corn and SOW cow peas in the corn
at the last working; field three SOW
oats and clover in the fall and the
succeeding summer plant peanuts.
The following may make this
plan more clear:
Crop 1-.-Oats and clover
Crop 2---Sweet Potatoes
Crop 3---Corn and peas
Crop 4--Oats and clover
Crop 5---Peanuts
The series in field one would be
crops /, 2. 3. 4, 5, /, 2, etc.
The series in field two would be
