it tenderly into his ear. He requests
the American minister to do the thing
for him as a rule and the same rule
holds good as between most of the
diplomats.
One hears good things about Min
ister Morris. They say that despite
his exceedingly delicate position a.
diplomatic representative and go-be-

has the confidence and the esteem OF
them all.
Business men from all over the
world flock here. AS the countries
at war do not like to have CONNER
cial travellers, or any other kind OF
travellers, passing in and out of their
territory, Sweden, at the doorway Of
Russia, Germany, England. Austria,
and France has been made head
quarters for business men from all
over the world; the United States,
Canada, Argentine, Denmark, Hol-
land, Spain. Brazil. Chill, China and
all the rest. And Stockholm is head
quarters for everybody with anything
to sell. be 1t new invention for kill
ing folks or a patent food calculated
to contain nourishment for an en-.
tire regiment in one pill-box. The
idea here in Stockholm is if a bust.

Russia doesn't buy. he is not barred
from calling on Germany that same
afternoon and offering 1t to her II

scarcely do anywhere else. even In
the United States or Argentine de-
spite the fact they are neutrals too
for here he is practically on the field
and in direct communication with
even the Germans who can weekend

in a very few hours.
Big business is being done here
The great jewelry establlshments--as

or London-are selling as never be-

small and disappointing to the

$40 Acres a Misfortune.

In the February American Mag
azlne is an article on Arnold Mar
tin, whose farming system is be-
ing investigated by the Govern
ment and who is considered the
best intensive farmer in America.
The intensive methods pur-
sued by him are of particular in
terest," we read. 'The land is
kept busy from spring until fall.
AT the last cultivation of potatoes
corn is planted between the rows.
A full crop of potatoes and fair
crop of corn is produced from the
same ground. AS many as seven
hundred bushels of potatoes and
seventy-fve bushels of corn are
produced from each acre planted
in this way.
After the potatoes ripen, the
corn keeps the weeds down. By
the time the corn needs the
ground, the potatoes are ripe, and
the corn is in the shock before it
is time to dig the potatoes. Some
parts of the potato patch are
sown with millet and sorghum
Just before the last cultivation.
This makes good crop Of feed
and does not hurt the potatoes.
Squashes are sometimes planted
in the same way. The onion
patches grow corn and melons,
which are planted in rows be-
tween the onions.
"Partof the orchard is set with
small fruit and part is planted
with potatoes and truck. In dry
spells all the water that the wind
mill will pump is used for irriga-
ton, and it is here that the in
tensive farming reaches it's
height. The water from the we'll
flows directly to the bitches as
pumped. A little manure is scat
tered in the bitches to prevent
washing. The orchard at one
time contained 900 pear, 200
cherry, 800 peach and a few ap-
pie trees. The trees are planted
in straight rows, and between the
trees are raspberry bushes, toma-
toes, cabbage and sweet potatoes,
with beets close by.
"Mr. Martin has said: Twenty
acres is all | want to farm. That's
enough land for any man; 320
acres is a misfortune, and GAO
acres is a calamity. ;"

Governor Brnmbaugh Married.

Governor Martin G. Brum-
baugh and Miss Flora Belle Parks
were quietly married Saturday,
January 20, 1916, in the First
Brethren Church of Germantown
Philadelphia, by their former
pastor, Rev. George D. Kuntz.
The marriage license gives the
age of the Governor as 54 years,
and that of the bride as 40. Her
mother is dead, and she has made
her home in the Brumbaugh fam
lily for twenty years. In his ap-
plication for marriage license,
Mr.. Brumbaugh gave his occupa-
tion as teacher, and his residence
Harrisburg. The Governor
seems to be opposed to any fuss
concerning his domestic affairs,
and his intention to marry was
kept secret until last Saturday.
There will be a brief honeymoon
trip of about one week, after
which Mr.. and Mrs. Brumbaugh
will take up their residence in
the Executive Mansion on Front
Street, Harrisburg. This is Mr..
Brumbaugh's second marriage,
his first wife having died one
year and seven months ago while
he was in the midst of his cam
paign for the governorship.
