 Orozco, Hueifa, Villa and Felix Diaz have all had their juntas here at different times since the revolutions started. A second class rooming house or hotel is always selected for these meetings of revolutionary fol- lowers in order to avoid suspicion and to escape secret service agents Beds are drafted into service as chairs and the Mexicans squat around the walls while the junta meetings are being held. In these meetings are planned the revolutionary movements, schemes devised fer getting contra band ammunition into Mexico and of- shen recruiting among the floating Mexican border population is carried on by these juntas.

The first thing newspaper reporter is taugh in his cub days IS accuracy. "Get it right or leave 1t out" he is told repeatedl. And they do strive to get the details of a story right. More men have been fired by newspapers for inaccuracy and carelessness with regard to facts that for any other cause.
 A reporter must make his story balance with the facts just as book keeper make his cash balance.

BREAKING THE WESTERN
 FRONT.

Various and sundry pseudo-strateg- ist who never saw battlefield, or who, if they did, saw it after the bat tie was over, have expressed the op- inion that the allies will never be able to break thru on the western front. They have advanced the theory that flanking movement thru the Italian Alps is the only chance for victory.
 Events of the past three weeks have proved their theory faulty. Foch has not broken thru the German line, but he has hurled it back in two places. In three weeks he has vir- tually neutralined the gains made by the Germans in five months at the cost of hundreds of thousands of Huns.
 With the increasing power of the United States thrown into battle, the supreme commander will have still more force to hurl against the Ger mans. And he will not hesitate to use it. He knows that only offensive warfare will bring victory, and he has snatched the initiative from the enemy at the psychological moment.
 Our only fear now is that the Ger mans will realize the hopelessness of their battle and chance for victory and quit before the allies can crush Ger man armies beyond all hope of reor- ganization. Victory for the allies is only a matter of time. There is little chance for it to come this year, but it appears to be on the 1919 horizon.
 All we have to do is merely to car ry on.

21 counties show some increase in Sim Fein strength, but probably not so much as people expected.
 All of the chairmen of the county councils were members of the Irish convention, With the exception of Ker- ry which declined representation. Of the 27 chairmen on the Irish conven- tion, 16 sined the majority report and II sined the minority report. The cleo tions have thus far displaced only one of the latter, but new men have been chosen in place of five of the chair men who signed the majority report. The campaign against them was large ly waged on the ground that the ma- jority did not go far enough in the direction of Irish self-government.

Mechanical Farm Help

Our farmers are going to be called upon to put forth q greater effort than ever before to supply food for our al lies and ourselves, and while they re- sponded splendidly this past year to the governments call for greater acreage and larger crops, still larger produc- ton is the word for 1918. But the farmer has been, during the past year, and will be to still greater extent during the coming year, handicapped by the lack of man power
 To overcome this he must look to me- chanical help more than ever before, and here is where the farm gas engine helps feed, fill silos saw wood, run the cream it will save at least the time of one man on the average farm, as we'll as help out the good wife. Moreover. it will enable him to work longer hours, as he can spend more hours In the field. the engine doing the work in the meantime
 The engine manufacturers are planning on building more engines than ever be- fore, provided they can secure the ma- terials So far they have been able to secure a fair supply, but what the win ter will bring forth we cannot at this time even guess.
 Another important matter Is getting the engines into the hands of the users Freight shipments are very slow and most uncertain. This condition will un- doubtedly not improve during the win ter and orders should be placed just as soon as possible in order to insure hav- ing the engine when most needed.

Testing Associations

The cooperative cow-testing associa- tions are successful in this country as shown by the fact that since 1906, when the first association was organized in Michigan, the number has increased steadily to 459 associations in 40 states. On July 1, 1917, there were 11,120 herds, with a total of ,966 cows be- ing tested regularly in these associa- tions. The total number of milch cows in the United States at that time was : 23, ,372, 200, of which 091 per cent were numbered in these organizations.
 The first cow-testing association was organized in Newago county, Michigan, January, 1906 It is still in existence, and now has 30 herds with total of BOA cows. The following years three new associations were organized in that state In 1908 three were organ ized in Maine and one in New York. The next five other states entered the list.
 Wisconsin now leads in the number of associations, S1 being in operation in that state. Other leading states are Vermont with 47, New York with z3 Iowa and Ohio with 30 each, Minnesota with 26, and Pennsylvania with 2j During the year ending June 30, 1917, 95 new organizations were established
 The south has a few associations, one recently being organized in Alabama.

Iowa stood second, Wiscon- sin and North Dakota next In order. Farmers elevators creameries and cheese factories and live stock shipping associa- tions are the principal types of co-opera- tive effort in these states.
 Fruit and produce associations are the chief forms of cooperative activity in Oregon. Washington. Idaho and Mon tana. The farmers gram companies arc next In rank. In California 60 per cent of the organizations handle fruit and pro- duce. Cotton associations lead in Texas. North Carolina. South Carolina and Georgia, fruit and produce organization second.

Soap for the Farm
By LYDIA SINCLAIR

] will tell what I have learned about that homely but useful art of soap making. I used to have no end of bother, but since I have found the best way to make it there is no trou- hle. but rather pleasure. Get three boxes of concentrated lye, break open and boil until dissolved in an iron kettle with one gallon of water Put seven gallons of soft water in a large iron kettle and add the lye. Stir and put in the grease three gallons of meat skins craclxlings or any scraps of soap grease. Stir and let stand sev- eral days. stirring often. Then heat up gradually, boil rapidly watching and stirring to prevent boiling over When it looks thick, which will be in a short time, try little in a spoon With as much water and if it thick ems in the water it is about done. Now, with perforated ladle, take out pieces Of meat, etc, that have not been eaten by the lye. Let it stand until thoroughly cold-al1 night-when turn the kettle upside down on a coarse cloth and the soap will slip out in a solid cake, which you can cut up in cakes and dry on board in the shade. cut the cakes large. for they shrink in drying. You will now have a nice quantity of the very best soap for all household purposes of cleansing much better than that you buy-and so cheap and easily made.

Honey for Farms

Our problem is to feed our allies this winter by sending them as much food as We can of the most concentrated nu- tritive value in the least shipping space. Among these foods is sugar
 Honey is delightful and economical substitute for sugar that has all the delicious flower sweetness added to if. It IS Tree from adulteration when deliv- cred to man, and for that reason is in many ways better than sugar. It may be used in canning, baking and on raw fruits, III addition to being used as a spread on bread
 If you do not have a swarm on the farm, 1t is advisable in most cases to get one. See to it that it goes into winter in good condition and next spring be ready to care for other swarms In this way, a shortage of sugar need have no ter. TOTS for you.
