SENATE PROVIDES
ARMY OF A MILLION

Washington, April 20.-An army re-
organization bill that would produce
regular army and reserve military
forces in the United States aggregat-
ing a million men was passed by the
senate without a record vote.
1t is a substitute for the Hay bill,
passed by the house, and the differ
ences will be worked out in confer
ence.
In the closing hours of debate the
senate made provisions for regular
standing army with peace strength
of $50, 1000 men, as compared with 14O,-
900 in the Hay bill, which passed the
house.
The senate retained after a close
fight the plan for federal volunteer
army reserve force calculated to ag-
gregate $4,000 men and federalized
the national guard forces Of the states
at an estimated strength of 100000
men.
In addition to this combined regular
and reserve force of 100000 men an
amendment was passed to create a
school and college reserve corps In
time of war or threatened war, which
would recruit force Of trained young
men, schooled by Officers Of the regu-
lar army, the strength Of which is es
timated anywhere from 100000 to
100000.

THE BLESSED Rain THAT HAS
COME AT LAST.

Our section of country was In dire
need of rain because the cotton seed
and seed corn were lying in dry dirt
and without sufficient moisture to ger
inmate them into growing plants.
And cotton seed was terribly scarce.
From April % to May2l (nearly an entire
month"; the dry spell lasted-getting
dryer every day. If the seed could
not terminate, there would be no cot
ton crop, and the situation was becom-
ing very acute In a few places rain
was reported in the cotton states but
the dry parching weather prevailed In
ninety-hundredths of the entire cot
ton section. L felt much oppressed
with the situation, for many people
like myself had ventured more than
they could afford to lose, on the pres
ent crop; and there were only some
cloud skiffs at shutdown last Sunday,

PROTECTION TO LONE WOMEN.


After reading of the assassination %
a very wealthy spinster lady in one OF
the southwest counties of this state
and of her helplessness before her as

write a few lines to The Semi-Weekly
journal readers and to urge them to-
persuade such lone women to keep near
them some responsible persons who
could go upon call to their protection
and at least remain with these helpless
ones In a time of attack and assault.
Doubtless this murdered lady had
confidence in the fidelity of the man who
is understood to have been her assailant.
but her confidence was misplaced and
her life paid the forfeit. With her
large wealth, she was particularly
watched by crafty theives-and II viii
always be a mystery, as to what was
taken and whether she was killed for
loot, or for something worse.
There was a story told me In the long
ago of a girls school In Texas-by the
lady principal who defended the help
less pupils with a sabre that had been
the property of her deceased husband.
The man had raised the window and
was attempting to pull his body over the
window sill, when she snatched the old
weapon from the wall and hacked his
fingers until he dropped to the ground
on the outside. But the nervous wom-
an, had never recovered from the fight
that filled her mind after that awful
neutrality-suspicious. she never did. 1t
is not safe to remain alone in even your
own house-because sudden illness may
attack you. and the very fact that you
are unprotected will make the vicious

never such time that / did not feel
averse to the situation, and thankful for
my preservation from danger and fear.
