FROM CAVE LIFE TO ARMY.

Christian J. Bayer, who has been
living forte years on Santa Cruz
island, off the Santa Barbara (Cal.)
coast, with nothing much to eat ex-
cept mussels, abalones and wild game
he killed with a primitive stone con-
itrivance, applied for enlistment in
the United States army at recruiting
headquarters in San Francisco. Bay
er was found to be in fine physical
condition and was sent to Fort Nc
lDowell recruit depot.
! Bayer donned his first suit of
clothes since going to the island the
other day when he determined to
come to this city to offer his services
lin the war; He said a girdle around
the waist was sufficient clothing in
his cave on the island. He was born
in Denmark thirty-nine years ago
and went to the island to recover lost
health.

0UITO is PEACEFUL Spot
There Is Nothing More Exciting in the
Capital Of Ecuador Than Evening
Concert In Plaza.

Everyone appears to be entitled to
three guesses on the population Of
Quito Capital Of Ecuador). The
figures range from $4,000 to $4,000,
with the truth somewhere near the
10000 attributed to it in Steven
sons time, Though more in touch
with the outside world than Bogota,
it has much Of the same atmosphere
of a city apart, peaceful, restful
spot, with some of the principal mod
,ern conveniences Of crude, break
:down-often sort, but with little of
the complicated life of the great CEN
tiers of modern days.
1t is splendid place to play at
life, to lie fallow and to catch up
with oneself, with nothing more ex-
letting to stir up existence than the
evening concert in the Plaza Mayor,
where few of the inhabitants do not
come to stroll at least once week. A
score of carriages rattle over its cob
Ihled streets. The rails Of a. street
car line had already been laid years
before our arrival, says Harry A.
Franck, in the Century Magazine,
but the requisite cars had not yet
even been ordered.
We of more powerful nations
hardly realize what it means to live
lin SO small country until it is
brought home by such incident as
hearing the entire congress of Ecua-
dor debate two hours whether it shall
or shall not order two new electric
Light bulbs put up in front of the
government palace.

GROW WHEAT FOR HOME USE
is URGED.

Agricultural College, Miss, Sept.
30.-"Grow wheat for home use''
was the keynote in call to the
farmers of Mississippi to plant at
least 100000 acres of wheat this
fall sent out today by Director E. r.
Lloyd of the extension service and
stations in this state
s.. 1T is not our. purpose" said Di-
rector lloyd, |'to encourage farm
ers to grow wheat as money crop,
but it is. hoped that the farmers of
Mississippi, especially the small
farmers, will produce enough for
home consumption. Not only is this
good economy" he continued, "but
it is, a patriotic duty in the face of
such great need caused by a wheat
shortage throughout the whole world.
The federal government in figuring
out the shortage requested each
state to grow its pro rata share.
and Mississippi's allotment is 100, 900
acres. This amount of land can be
devoted to wheat without disturbing
the balance of our regular cropping
system. or cutting the acreage Of our
staple crops The wheat is off the
land in time for other crops to be
planted next spring.
while wheat is in it's experiment
tai stage in this state, there is
practically no loss to be incurred in
planting it. If the seasons should be
so unfavorable as to cause the wheat
to rust badly, the farmers have plen-
ty of time to plant their lands to
corn, cotton or other crops, and the
land will have been benefited by the
fall discing and the cover crop.
Flour mills will be in reach of ev-
cry wheat-growing community this
fall; SO there will be no trouble in
getting the wheat ground into good

DISCLOSE ENVOY ASKED FOR
MONEY TO SWAY SOLONS

Washington, Sept. 21.- Secretary
Lansing today made public as an as
founding addition to the series of
disclosures covering German intri-
CUES in America and elsewhere, a
message sent by Count Won Bern
stoff in January of this year to the
Berlin foreign office. requesting au-
thority to pay out $4,000 to infiu-
ence congress through an unnamed
organization, apparently known to
the Berlin authorities. Count Won
Bernstein indicated in his message
that money had been paid this or
ganization on former occasions to
perform the same work.
The text of the message, made
public without comment, follows:
The message, dated Jan. %, 1917,
follows:
II request authority to pay out up
to $4,000 fifty thousand) dollars in
order, as on former occasions to in
fluence congress through the organ
ization you know of, which can per-
haps prevent war
e II am beginning, in the meantime,
to act accordingly.
"In the above circumstances a
public official German declaration in
favor of Ireland is highly desirable,
in order to gain the support of Irish
influence here"
Whether the state department is
in possession of other evidence in
dicating the ambassadors activities
has not been revealed but the extra
ordinary disclosures already made
has fixed the belief that agents of
the United States government have
collected and compiled0 the entire
story of German duplicity and in
trigue and that additional chapters
will be added.

Wheat in the Delta.
G. B. Walker of the delta branch
experiment station is issuing addi-
tional instructions to the people of
the delta for planting wheat. He
says:
i There probably never was time
when the delta cotton planter could
better Afford to plant few acres of
wheat than in the fall of 1917. The
government has fixed a minimum
price of 1920 bushel, and every
indication is that the 1918 crop will
bring even better price, so if one
wishes to sell his crop he is assured
of good price. Then, too, it will
afford many of our planters an OPP
portunity they would not otherwise
have to perform patriotic duty to
their country by providing whole
some, homegrown whole wheat
flour for themselves and their ten
ants, thereby liberating just so many
bushels of northern grown wheat for
the armies in Europe.
There are soils in all parts Of the
delta that are well adapted to the
production of wheat, and if properly
prepared and seeded in the right sea-
son to the best southern varieties
should produce profitable crops. The
yields of wheat on the delta farm
have not been very high, though av-
eraging just about as high as the
yields of the best wheat growing
states. Very high yields, however,
some as high as so bushels an acre
on the best lands, have been report
ed by reliable men from all parts of
the delta, indicating that profitable
yields can certainly be expected
