a tiny tody that encased the sweet
soul OF Edna May. fate smiled kind
ly upon the scene and from out Of
the fun Of pillows and coyerlets and

world then than that the public
should Wow the treasure?
In due time In fact, the public
claimed her and she went upon the
stage where her appearance before
the footllghts was instantly the fore
runner Of most attractive romance.
She. at first, struggled forth in com
paratiye obscurity In much the same
way that every diamond secures Its
polish, but finally New York, the
gateway to world of fame. babe her
welcome
It seems like yesterday, so vivid
does the picture Of her triumph re-
turn. Bills had been posted all about

Theatre. but none contained her
name. Programs were handed out as
the nrst-nlghters came to the initial
performance Of the Belle Of New

contained, Edna May might never

It was a great audience dressed In
all the past grandeur Of Gotham.
Their ears were stunned for a merry
melango Of melody and their eyes
were focused for the coming spec

nerves tlngle with the enllyenng
strains Of lifting air and poised for

The Belle Of New Yory made Its
opening bid for popularity amid a
profuslon Of girls and gorgeous para

songs and laughter.
And yet, strange to say. among 1t
all one figure shone out above all
the royal glamor. She was a maid
with simple dress and pretty face. the
personincatlon Of light and grace.
Wherever she drifted upon the stage

Devil Worship In TIbIt.

The religion inculeated by Buddha
had certain cardinal polnts-the en-
enlargement OF the ascetic life, the
maintenance of virtue, the exhortation
to persons of all castles and both sexes

existence and, lastly. the attainment of
Nirvana.
But In Tibet Buddhism has been
grated on to the earlier devil worship

evolved better expressed as Lamalsm.

addition to the Buddhas and Bodlsats

FEDERAL MONEY

congress and provides for the estao-
lishment of twelve rural government
banks for the express purpose OF
loaning government money direct to
reliable farmers on good real estate
security, at reasonable rate OF in
terest.
Let every farmer who would ike
to see "Uncle Sam" loaning money
to the San Luis Valley farmers at
five per cent annual interest, get

Congressman from Colorado, and
ask him to do all that he can to Sc
cure the passage of the Moss Bill

b1pM CREDIT SYSTEM OF THE EUROPEAN
FnlN7RIES GOOD EXAMPLE FOR AMERICA

VI an ualry prOductS.
In many herds the quantity of
milk annually given by each COW has
been increased over one hundred
gallons. The Danes attribute much
of this increase to their scientific
breeding.
The creameries impose ware
rules upon the farmers as to the
methods of feeding the COWS and of
handling their milk, and the loyalty
of the men to their organizations is
remarkable. The Danish trade in
butter alone-and their butter is
considered the best that reaches the
London market-has multiplied ten
times in twenty yeals.
Severe economy is practiced in all
matters, with remarkable results.
This economy extends even to the
COWS, which are hitched and re-
quired to Craze portion of the pas
lure until it is eaten clean. They
milk three times a day, milk tests
are Systematically applied, and the
COWS with poor records are dis
carded, while the calves of record
mothers are kept for the farm.
Cooperative Selling
The Danish cooperative methods
of producing and selling are also
most interesting. The cooperative
dairy movement now includes one
thousand societies with two hundred
thousand members, and it delivered
last year over five billion pounds of
milk, which produced two hundred
million pounds of butter worth sixty
millions of dollars.
Similar cooperative societies mar
keted the eggs, bacon, and lambs OF
the Danish farmers. There are two
poultrymen's associations, one with
four thousand, and the other with
six thousand members. Each has
some forty centers for experimental
ton and distribution of pure-bred
stock. Each week the associations
collector gathers the eggs, which
must be marketed with the produc-
er's name, and pays on the spot the
market price for them. The man
who delivers stale eggs is severely
punished. After selection and care
full examination, the egg is then
stamped with the associations
stamp. This simple guarantee has
raised the price Of hens eggs in the
English markets until the industry
now bringsDenmark $10,O0O,0OO a
year.
Other market products are hand
led by cooperative creameries OF
Denmark in a similar manner. The
Danes no longer send their live hogs
abroad, but kill, cure and manufac-
ture every scrap at home, with the
result that pigs which brought Den
mark only s7,5OO,OOO few years
ago, now bring $25,00O,0OO. The
Dane believes in manufacturing the
farm products to the highest degree
before he lets them leave his farm or
cooperative factory He sells the
finest product and not the raw ma
terial: for he believes that the ma
ton which sends away its raw ma
terial for a more skilled people to
| finish Is ruined.

 The route said to have been taken by Villa is one with which he is thor oughly familiar and which, indeed. is known among the peons as "Pancho's road" From Guerrero it leads across the Continental divide through the Bachiniba pass into a broad valley which runs east to San Andres, Villas ta Ysable, the scene of Villas massacre of Is American mining men, and then southeast through Satevo, to Parral.
 The man who brought the story of Villas arrival at Satevo here gave d circumstantical account of the bandits maneuvers and plan of campaign. While his story is impossible of verifi- cation his own credibility is vouched for by reputable American business men here who have employed him for several years.
 Villa" he said, 'has never taken part in any fighting with either Amer ican or CarranZista troops. He left the main body of his troops in the Guerrero district with orders to oppose as far as they could the American advance At the same time the peons were in- structed to give information freely to the American officers, always provided that the information was false. The story of Villas being wounded was carefully concocted for the pxpress pur- pose of misleading General Pershing and Colonel Dodd into the belief that the bandit was in hiding in the Moun- tains and thereby inducing them to split their forces into small searching parties who would vase their time in the wild Sierras which Villa was mak- ing his way safely southwark"

sel for Capt. Gulley. Judge AdvO- cate Holzworth, brought out the fact that Zimmerman was first lieuten- ant in the Arizona National Guard, and as such, could not be allowed to act as Gulley's counsel without being appointed by Harris. Zimmerman, at once pointed out that he was acting in his private capacity as practicing attorney, and as such had nothing to do with the guard.
 The court still held. though, that in order for Zimmerman to act, it would be necessary for Harris to give his permission. Capt.. Alexander pointed out the evident injustice of this, holding that inasmuch as Harris is the accuser of Gulley, it would hardly be fair for him to have the naming of his counsel It was finally de- cided by the court that Gulley would have to ask permission of Harris to have Zimmerman act as his assistant counsel.
 Gulley went to Harris personally and asked the permission, which Har- ris immediately refused. Harris sent an explanation in by Advocate Gener- al Holzworth, that if Gulley had asked the permission before the trial had started he might have granted it. Capt. Alexander in the meantime was objecting to this procedure in ev- cry manner known to the legal pro- fession, He pointed out that the military code specifically states that | the commander of the post at which 1 the trial is taking place must ap- point the counsel In this case it would be up to Major Grinstead, com mander of the local post to appoint counsel Grinstead declined to dc this, stating that the trial was talk ing place at regimental headquarters and not post headquarters. Alexan- der then suggested that Gulley be al- lowed to go to the governor and get permission for Zimmerman to act from that official This was granted
 with the stipulation that Harris ap- proved
 1 In few minutes Gulley was back with a typewriter statement from Harris stating that the governor had granted the permission, but that Zim- , merman in aSkig to act as counsel was showing a woeful lack of military law and etiquette, and prayed that the court would overlook Zimmerman's ig- norance. The court stipulated that Zimmerman could then act, but he must appear at all sessions of the court in full uniform. The lieutenant stated that he would be proud to wear tbo uniform pf the National C,1a r6 and would thus appear. Harris made the stipulation in his letter of per- mission for Zimmerman to act, that he should act without pay.
