LARGER CROP PRICES OFFSET
COST OF FARM MACHINERY.

MANY people have gotten the idea
that there has been an enormous in
c:ease in the price of farm machin-
cry the past year" says L.. F. Carey
at the Colorado Agricultural Cn'!cle.
"F'igures taken from che inpler mt
dealers in Fort Collins show that on
the whole there has hecn an increase
Of but 2O.16 percent. This increase
Is less than the increased price paid
for any of the crops raised on Colo
RADIO farms except potatoes and ap-
pies, which show decrease of 25.2
percent, and 14.9 percent, respect
lively.
"Since the average life of machin-
cry is IL years, a man with $500
worth Of machinery buys on nn aver
age of $66.77 worth each year. The
additional increase he would have to
pay, according to present prices,
would be $13.44-pe year. The in
crease from one and one-third acres
Of corn yielding 29.2 bushels per
wear or one acre of wheat yielding
31.76 bushels per acre would nay for
the increase on this yearly machin-
cry purchase.
"The increase in the cost Of re-
pairs has been more than that Of
machinery and is altogether too
much In some instances. No doubt
part Of this is due to scarcity Of mat
erial. There are many types OF ma
chimes being manufactured ond these
are scattered well over the country

not decreased while the supply has.

CHAPTER XIV.
That Sick Man Erom San An.onio


 It was part of the strategy practiced by the Cuban leaders to divide their forces into separate columns for the purpose of raiding the smaller Spanish garrisons and haraSsing the troops sent to their relief, reaSSembling these bands only when and where some tell ing blow was to he struck
 When OReilly and Branch enlisted in the Army of the Orien they were assigned to the command of Col. Nrg. uel Lopez. and Il was under his leader. ship that they made their first ac- quaintance with the peculiar methods of Cuban warfare.
 There had becn.

Into MatanZaS, city of beggary and death, came Rosa Varona and her two negro companions, looking for relief. They made the journey without mis- hap. for they were too destitute to warrant plundering, and Rosas dis guise concealed what charms remained to her. But once they had entered the city, what an awakening What sui fering. what poverty, what rags they SAW! The three of them grew weak with dismay at the horror of it all {; but there was no retreat.
 Asensio built makeshift shelter close under La Cumbre-from il the ruins of the Quinta de Esteban were yisible-and there they settled down to live. They had hoped to lose them selves among the other prisoners, and in this they were successful. for none of their miserable neighbors were in any condition to notice them, and there was nothing sufficiently con spicuous about two tattered blacks and their hunchbacked daughter to draw attention from the soldiers.
 Asensio foraged zealously. and at first he managed somehow te secure enough food for his little family. One day the soldiers seized him and put him to work on the Notifications along with gang of other men who ap- peared strong enough to stand hard 1abor Asensio was not paid for this, but he was allowed one meal T day, and he succeeded in bringing home each night q share of his allotment
 It is surprising how little nourish- ment will sustain life. Rosa and her two friends had long felt the pinch of hunger. but now they plumbed new depths of privation, for there were days when Asensio and his fellow con scripts received nothing at all After a time Eyangelina began making bas- kets and weaving palm-leaf hats. which she sold at six cents each. She taught Rosa the craft, and they worked from dawn until dark, striving with nimble tireiess fingers to supplement Asensio's rations and postpone starvation. But it was q hopeless task. Other nimble fingers worked as tirelessly as theirs, and the demand for hats was limited
 Their hut overlooked the road to San Severino, that Via Dolorosa on which condemned prisoners were marched out to execution. and in time the women learned to recognize the peculiar blaring notes of q certain cor net, which signfied that another Gu ban cock was about to crow" When

 Rosa meditated much upon the con trast between her present and her for mer condition. Matanzas was the city of her birth. and time was when she had trod it's streets in arrogance and pride. when she had possessed friends by the score among ifs residents Bur of all these there was not one to whom she dared appeal in this. her hour of need.

 OReilly jerked his head toward the Cuban. You see? He's made the hit of his life. and yet he resents it. My nerves are frayed out. I've argued my self hearse. but he misconstrues every thing I say.

ZONE SYSTEM CAUSES
STRIKE OF MESSENGERS
Western Union Changes Basis
of Pay-Ten Boys Imme-
diatelY Walk Out. \

The Inauguration of zone system
in the pay of boys in the messenger
service today caused the walkout OF
about ten messengers in the employ OF
the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany.
According to Manager Posey, OF
tho local office, the Inauguration of tho
system will in no way affect the earn
ings of the boys, but will help to re-
duce the force. He stated that the
reduction in the force would be neces-
sary on account OF the fact that a
number Of the boys now employed will
have to return to school. AS the plan
now stands, no messenger will be sent
out with less than four messages. This
system will make 1t possible to reduce
the number of messengers to five boys
and naturally the pay of the messen-
gers retained will be Increased about
100 per cent, according to estimates
made by the management.
Tho average pay of the boys in the
service now is about $15 n week, and,
with the inauguration of the system, it
will be increased to about $50 q week.
The new plan for compensation Is
to pay for each message sent out ac-
cording to distance. Boys will be al
lowed n fec Of 1-2 cents for each
message to be delivered for one eighth
of mile. An allowance of cent ad-
ditional will be allowed for each one
eighth of mile. An allowance of
3 to 5 cents will be made for messages
going from one and O quarter miles TO
three miles.
