Chihuahua City. April 7.-General

Speaking to People.

Every day you pass people on the
street you must speak to and while
speaking to people Is only a small bit
of the days experience, yet it's worth
while doing it as nicely as possible.
Very often when you get up in the
morning you say to yourself. Il will
probably have to speak to quite Il few
people today. It's Il nice day and Il
lot of them win be out" You remind
yourself that n bright smile and a
CHEEKY nod is always relished, and you
determine to nod brightly to everyone.
But then you forget. You hurry along
the street occupied with other thoughts
and only speak to people in n half
hearted, shopworn way. and your mods
have sort of picked-over appearance.
To speak to people well requires prac
tice like anything else and it might
help greatly if more of us would set
aside a day of the week to speak to
people on. And to skip along the
streets speaking to as many as pos
siblc in our cheerfullest manner
whether we have seen them before OF
not.

FOR LARGER CROPS

SUBSTITUTING CROPS
When Oats, Barley and Rye
Will Grow Better, Plant
Them, He Urges.

Washington, April 7.-Secretary
Houston again tonight appealed to the
! country to make every effort to raise
adequate food crops this year. not only
for the United States needs but to
meet the requirements of the entente.
THE most effective step that may be
taken to increase the production Of
these crops" said the secretary, lis to
enlarge the acreage devoted to them in
the regions where they are grown
habitually. This expansion of acreage
should be to the limit permitted by
available good seed, labor and equip
ment.
Taking the winter wheat territory
as Il whole winter killing has occurred
to an extent very much greater than
| usual Where winter wheat has been
| damaged sufficiently to justify the
abandonment of fields, it should by
| all means be replaced by spring plant
ed food crops. preferably small grains
| and corn.
| If land intended for spring wheat
cannot be put into good condition
early enough for seeding, oats or bar
ley can be substituted to good advan :

| larger weight of feed per acre thar
any other small grain crop. With ar
ABUNDANCE of oats and barley avail
able. much closer milling of wheat
than at present could be practiced, il
necessary without endangering tn,
milk supply.
The place Of rye under present con
ditions is an important one. Buck
wheat may be planted later than an,
similar crop, and the acreage coul,
well be increased. Prices n the grail

these grains in the regions where the

when oil is pressed from the seet
constitutes an important element i

for use as food.

GREAT BATTLES AHEAD

Petrograj, April 6.-Via London,
April "a delegation from the army
at the front was introduced to the
duma today and handed the executive
committee the following resolution
from the men Of the first army:
I'VE are deeply distressed that the
council OF workmen's and soldiers
delegates is extending its resolutions
to our army without the consent or
approval of the provisional govern
ment. fact which is producing mis-
understandings in the army. We
have recognized the provisional gov
eminent and sworn allegiance to it
and in the domain of reform it Is our
duty to be guided by it alone and re-
gard the orders, laws and decisions
emanating from it as the only official
ones"
Delegates from the Black sea fleet
and Sebastopol garrison also pre-
presented a resolution which reads:
LET us speak boldly as If in times
of peace. Remember that great bat
ties will begin in a months time.
Then Russia will either begin a new
free life or be crushed by the Ger
mans. We must put an end to the
old mistrust which prevented officers
and men joining hands,
NJ. Rodzianko. president of the
duma, replying to the delegations. ex-
pressed faith in the great heart Of the
Russian people.
"Our main object should be victory
over the enemy" he said. For that
we ought all to rally around the pro-
visionaf government and give 1t sup
port that the country may triumph.
We must not shut our eyes to the fact
that we sustained considerable re-
verse on the Stokhod. Let this be
warning to those who refuse to sink
all personal considerations.

Life's Greatest Joy.
I met a simple little lad
Upon a pleasant day,
And such a happy look he had.
And such n cheerful way;
Said !, oh, why so very glad,
What Is the reason, pray?"
Said he to me, "Oh. sir" said he,
You really wish to know,
The cause of all my jolity
And why I'm smiling so.
'Tis that to school," he cried in glee.
Il do not have to go!"
"Oh, sir, l have an aching tooth,
Today the dentists tool
Must cause me agony, in sooth,
1t does that as a rule
Yet mines the greatest joy OF youth
To stay away from SCHOOL,"
In pensive mood / went my way,
With thoughts a trifle sad,
mo gladness of a later day
Is ever half so glad"
Mused I, ''as that Of this so gay,
SO simple little lad"

The Interstate Commerce Com

of Is cents in rates on coal from

the mines of certain other States.
This was unnecessary, as all
the roads were earning large div
idends uefore the increase. This
Is nothing more nor less than a
tax on coal. The coal can stand
the tax, but why not this tax

The farm hand who is exper-

Such men on farms must be led

steady laborers on farms know a
good deal about tillage and about
stock feeding and possess fair
rough and ready ability as me-
chanics. Implements for farms
require frequent tinkering. A
little mechanical ability often
saves a trip to the blacksmith
shop, or even an order for the re-
placement of parts, and long
delay. Many farm hands have
that ability.
