Wants Machinery For
Farmers AT Cost

Congressman Linthicum, of Mary
land. introduced an amendment in
the Urgent Deficiency Bill in the
House of Representatives, providing
$4,000, 600 to be used as a revolving
fund by the Agriculture department
with which to purchase farm machin-
cry and sell the same to the farmers
at cost and on terms.
Mr. Linthicum argued that owing
to the scarcity of labor it was neces-
sary that the farmer should make ev
cry provision by which the largest
amount of work can be accomplished
by each farm hand. 1t is apparent,
said he, to everyone who knows any
thing about farming that if We have
the proper machinery we can produce
larger crQDs with a much smaller
am oonnrx ak.or The farmers know
this and snose who are financially
able to do so. purchase machinery,
! and put in as large crops as possible
thru the aid of these inventions. But
! it is the small farmer, who is unable
to purchase the machinery, and
would be compelled to borrow the
! money that I am anxious to reach.
! We have provided in the bill S4-
| 600, goo to purchase seed for the far
mers Why not now do the same
thing toward the purchase of ma
chinery. With proper machinery,
| good seed and plenty of fertilizer l
| know that the American people and
! their allies will not want.
| When asked what kind of ma
chinery he would suggest, Mr.. Lin
| thicum said that he would suggest
small tractors, drills, etc. He would
! suggest that every community have a
| tractor to do the heavy plowing and
work of that nature. Mr.. Linthi-
cum emphasized particularly upon
| the community tractor as the great
/ est aid to the farmer
He told the House that he was d
| great believer in giving the farmer
! every advantage in order to purchase
/ the necessary implements. Food,
! said he, is just as important as mu-
| nitions; that billions of dollars have
! been provided for munitions while
! Congress was loath to provide a few
millions toward increasing the pro-
! duction of food.
Mr.. Linthicum stated that in his
! career he had loaned a great deal of
money to the farmers, and found
them absolutely reliable and that the
Government would find, if it advanc-
| ed this sum, that there was no pos

W
Flash Struck Her.
Salisbury, Md, March 7.-Light-

Townsend here last night during a
terrific wind, hail and electrical
storm, that wrought considerable
damage.
Miss Townsend was the daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. james Townsend,
who live on the Snow Hill road. The
family had retired during the storm,
laboring under the idea prevailing
in rural sections, that to be on fea-
ther bed is protection from lightning.
She was hanging a spread over a
winoW to shut out the flashes when
struck. None of the members of the
family was even stunned, though
plaster and other decorations were
torn down.
1t is reported that trees and other
houses were hit. The high gale blew
down telephone and telegraph poles,
and cut off communication for a

TRAVELETTE

BY NIKSAH.

The YaquiS.
The Carranza government reports
itself as in practically complete con-
troll of Mexico, save for a small por-
ton of the north where Villistas are
operating, and the sYaQui country.
The Yaquis recently made theiI way
into the columns of the newspapers
again by the massacre of several de-
fenseless foreigners. Apparently not
wishing to bring Mexican neutrality
into Question, they killed both Ameri-
cans and Germans, as well as other
aliens. The story of the Yaquis is a
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES long chronicle of
battle, murder and sudden death.
They were one of the first tribes
encountered by the Spaniards, when
the conquistadores marched north
ward from Mexico City in the first
years of the sixteenth century. The
description given by the chronicler of
that first expedition fits them today.
He writes that they were brave,
treacherous. cruel, enduring, and alb
solutely unwilling to submit to any
form of Spanish domination. He also
gives them credit for being the best
fighters of all the warlike tribes of
Mexico. Inasmuch as they success
fully charged cannon, which they saw
for the first time on that occasion,
and inflicted defeat on the Spaniards
anu lilcir dtlleS, tIloy PROBABLY earned
the praise the old historian gave them.
The YaQuls have never really been
conquered. Their whole history is
one of periods of independence alter
mating with years when the central
government succeeded in imposing
some uncertain degree of authority
upon them. They have a tradition of
hatred for the government that aas
come down unbroken from the days of
Cortez. Apparently they will he ex-
terminated before they consent to
yield. This latter process had a fair
start during the last years of the Diaz
regime, when deportation of Yaouis
from the high dry lands of the north
west to the low moist central states,
where they were put to work on plan
tations, was beginning to lessen their
numbers rapidly. But with the first
revolution. the tribe went back to war
again. and most of the unwilling la
borers Joined the revolutionary
armies.
Personally. the Yaqui is not a pre-
possessing individual. His square,
hlgh-cheek-boned face, his small black
eyes. MS coarse straight hair, lend
color to the chronological theory that
the Americas were populated via a
land bridge over Boring Strait. He is
creature of great physical endur-
ance, and as a laborer he is usually
cneerful and tractable, tho unreliable
His outbursts of pure savagery can
only be explained on the ground that
ne is SO many thousand years behind
the Aryan race in an evolutionary
sense, that civilized man cannot com.
prehend his primitive emotions and
mental processes.

PITY THE POOR CONSUMER.

novel plan has been adopted in
Canada whereby millions of pounds of
fresh fish at cost prices may be avail
able for the people of Ontario this
season. 1t imposes on licensed fish
erinen the condition that they deliver
to the sales branch of the depart
ment of game and fisheries. when re-
quired, any portion of their catch, not
exceeding 20 per cent, at prices fixed
by the government. at present from
6 cents a pound for herring to and
8 cents a pound for other fresh fish.
1t is predicted that this will place mil
of the government.
From January to October Of last
year we imported 9S,255.O00 pounds
of fresh fish, worth s6,O24.000, or an
average import price per pound of
6.1 cents. and 5O.16S,O00 pounds of
herring, worth $2.1O9,00o. or about AZ
cents per pound. Practically all of
this fish came from Canada. It rep
resents an increase over the first ten
months of 1918, nine of which were
under protective rates of duty, of las
per cent for fresh fish, and a slight
falling off in herring imports which
in 1913 came considerably from Eu-
rope.
, Now Canada proposes to pay to her
fishermen, for 20 per cent of their
catch. rates exceeding the pound
prices at which we import Canadian
fish by about so per, cent. assigning
cheaper rates to the public as an ex-
cuse
The whole plan looks like it is in

big profit from our meatless days
The poor consumer catches it coming
and going. There is profiteer lying
in wait at every turn, ready to Eounce
upon him.
