How South Africa Expands

W. E. Aughinbaugh in Leslie &
 The Union of South Africa comprises the four British colonies, Cape of Good Hope, Natal, the Transvaal, and the Orange Free State. These states united May 31, 1910, with the idea of reducing to a minimum the expenses of maintain ing a government and at the same time of affording mutual protection to each other from outside influences. A Senate and House of Assembly elected by popular vote enact the local laws. the King of England being represented by governor general whom he appoints.
 The total area occupied by these pos sessions of Great Britain covers 473,1o( square miles, with an European popula- tion of 1,276, ,S0s and a native population of 4 697, ,S52 the majority being black and pagans.
 Mining and agricultural developments are followed by most of the inhabitants Of late years dairying and stock raising have taken remarkable strides forward owing to the rather unique assistance rendered by the steamship lines from Great Britain in bringing without charge pedigreed cattle, for breeding purposes, tc all of these colonies. As a consequence of this far-seeing policy of the steamship companies, 10,41,7 ,745 pounds of butter and 520, ,849 pounds of cheese were exported tt Europe in 1914.
 In connection with stock raising many farmers have large numbers of ostriches the last census showing that there were in captivity 746,736 of these birds. iron which 1,023,307 pounds of high grad' feathers were exported in 1914, having z monetary value of more than $15, 5,000 GOO.
 While much of the country is wei adapted to cattle farming the shipping O. frozen meat Is still in it's infancy, ant will ultimately add much to the prosperit, of the inhabitants. Sheep are extensivel! raised and in 1914 17e, ,9s7, 473 pounds of higl grade wool, worth $3oO00,0O0, was shipped to European and American markets. The government agricultural depart l ment has discovered as a result of nu | merous experiments that, owing to tn periods of frequent drouth, cotton is tn best crops for the farmers. inasmuch a the roots penetrate into the subsoil deep | CT. AS a consequence cotton is formin, one of the leading articles of export ! especially as the long staple variety pro | duced brings about cents per poun
 more in the English markets than tn | American article.

PROBLEM OF DISTRIBUTION

"The government should have sep arate department to encourage and supervise the distribution of MeXicans. Such a department has been planned but sufficient funds have not been sup piled The problem of distribution is more difficult here than at most ports of entry, because so many of the Mex jeans expect to return to their native soil as soon as peace is restored, and in the meantime they prefer to remain along the border.
 "There are about 35,000 Mexicans in Fl Paso, most of whom are living in one section of the city nearest the border, generally called "Chihuahuita,' Little Chihuahua Their congregation in that section has given this city it's principal health problem. The chief difficulty is to prevent oyercrowding, to seek out dark and unventilated rooms and to keep up a constant search for contagious diseases. Despite the constant danger of the spread of typhus

and other diseases from 'Chhuahuita' and especially from the newly arrived immigrants, this city has been able to
 keep such contagious diseases as have been found from spreading to any great extent.
 "The Fl Paso board of health has adopted 8 radical but extremely ef- fective method for letting sunshine and air into windowless rooms. The ten- ants are moved out and few work men with axes and spades speedily demolish the huts. It is not difficult for the landlord to put up new adobe huts, which are made to conform to the health regulations of the city. One hundred such huts were torn down last week.

 Over the bridge at the border from Juarez to Ell Paso tens of thousands of Mexicans have crossed since the revolution began.

 No one knows how many have come. Immigration inspectors keep tally on the international bridge from Juarez, but the boundary line is long and the Rio Grande shallow. Many families who have applied to the Associated Chari- ties for help are not entered in the government books. It is estimated that the population of Fl Paso has doubled in five years.
 HUNDREDS COME IN A DAY 1.-TWO hundred men, women and chill dren toiled and pushed their way across the bridge yesterday. Two hundred and fifty came over the day before and an inspector said. Look out for 600 tomor row." Thus wrote J. B. Gwin, secre. tary of the Fl Paso Associated Chari- | ties.

One of the big factors of baseball
team is to have some member who can
get on the nerves of an opposing pitch
er or player and cause that particular
star to forget he is in baseball game.
Charley Doom Is one Of the most sue
cessful goat getters' in the National
league. Not only does he keep after
opposing hurlers, but when he is catch
ing he has had the swatter SO en-
crossed on framing reply to some
caustic remark that the third perfect
strike slid by without being molested.
One of the reasons for the downfall
of Chief Meyers was because he was
so susceptible to being "kidded." Doc
in used to have the Indian riled all
the time. When Joe Tinker was in
the National league with the Reds, he
had Meyers continually fighting and
often McGraw would remove the red
skin from the game.

petted and adored by her good man
who has gone before her, may in time
become resigned to her situation. But
the lack of someone to love her and
someone whom she can love fills her
soul with yearning want which will
not be stifled. A pleasant evening
among her congenia1 friends will sat
isfy the bachelor girls heart. The
widow comes home from such an en-
tertainment to cry oyer her present
existence The bachelor girl gets her
solitary meal and eats it with relish,
giving the matter no particular
thought. The widow, through sheer
sentiment, sets her table for two. Her
lips culver and her eyes fill with tears
as she looks upon the vacant chair op-
posite.
She concludes she must see it occu-
pied once more if she is to dispel her
loneliness. Such thought never &C.
ours to the bachelor girl. Sentiment
with her is lost In the labyrinth OF
duty, as she elbows her way through
the hard business world to vie with
others, to earn her daily bread. She
lays by what she can, which is not
much-having the advantage over the
widow in this respect-she is not
sought out by the money sharks, who
make love to her in one breath and
coax loans from her to make invest
ments in the stock market moment
later.
The business girl is just smart
enough to look into sharpers' schemes
and Judge for herself what is best to
do. The widow, used to depending on
what man has told her, believes i'm
plicitly the lips that purr love story
in her ear, calling her grille declar-
ing even though she sent him from
her he must see her again.
The average widow is unsuspicious
regarding matrimony. The bachelor
maid is armed with doubts. The wild
cws standard excuse is that she was
too lonely in single blessedness. The
bachelor girl cannot feel the want OF
what she has never had-a husband
and his love.
