MEXICO CITY IS
QUIET AFTER TWO
Though Population Reaches a
Million Ii Has No All
Night Cafes.

MEXICO CITY. Dec. 1s.-Mexico
city is a quiet place after dark.
Business Of practically every sort
stops promptly at 7 o'clock at night
when doors are bolted and heavy
steel curtains are drawn over the
entire front Of the building. Avenida
Francisco Madero. the main thor
oughfare. dimly lighted at the best,
looks like a blind alley after s
o'clock and is enlivened for a few
moments only when, shortly after
midnight, the theater crowds hurry
home. There is but little after
theater life here. Saturday night Of
fers an exception for two cafes are
open then for dancing and drink
ing with foreigners for the most
part the patrons.
Dead After Two.
The human owls Of the United
States who turn night into day will
find 1t difficult to believe that Mex
leo city which has a population ap-
proximating 1000, 900 has no all
night restaurants and that after
o'clock in the morning II is next TO
impossible TO buy so much as a cup
Of coffee. The open day and
night" cafe is unknown here and
early risers or late retirers face the
alternative Of carrying a pocket
lunch or Of finding one Of the two
outdoor lunch stands that cater to
that distinctive class OF night work
men, the newspaper printer. These
two "pueblitos." as they are called
consist merely OF makeshift tents
which cover a few boards serving as
tables and chairs. They open for
business at o'clock a. m. and by :
o'clock are hauled down. Here one
may buy coffee, tamales, tortillas
and meat highly favored with chilli.
Poor Restaurant Town.
Mexico city Is not what might be
/ termed a good restaurant town.
4 Although the capital Of the repub-
/ lie 1t is not as well supplied with
/ places TO eat as Vera Cruz, which
/ has only one twenty-hfth the popu-
| lation. The commercial lunch is al
most unknown here for the reason
! that all business closes from / to 8
! o'clock p. m. and everyone that has

meal which is the heaviest OF the
day.

siLAGE FROM FODDER

Farmers who did not get their silage

der for this purpose, says c. Larsen.

bandry department. He says that
fodder silage not only makes better
feed than dry fodder but it is also
more convenient to feed. Even though
the corr fodder appears dry and
wilted the stalk will contain consider
able moisture. If there is MOI enough
moisture in the corn to pack the corn
well in the silo then additional water
should be added. This may be added
to the fan-box. In this way the fan
thoroughly distributes the additional
water. Even entirely dry fodder will
make good silage, but the water added
should equal the fodder by weight.
1t should be tramped down thoroughly.
Silage made in this manner will keep
we'll. The quality is not quite as good
as that made from corr cut while
still green and no extra water added,
but it makes excellent feed. Such
silage made from corn fodder is not
nearly so sour. 1t has a pleasant
sweet smell and the COWS will like. it
and do well on it.

was selected all-state fullback in 1917.
He is tall and wirey, has a good whirl
when he hits the line and has an
effective forward pass. Shearer Sc
lected all-state fullback in Iowa in
1917 by nearly every sport Of that
state, is a hard tackeler, runs good
interference and can either hit the
line or run the ends if called on. But

Walseth, has plenty of punch, handles
the ball we'll, and is touted to give his
heavier rivals considerable competi-
ton.
Among the candidates for halfback
are Clare Willadson, Lloyd Dickinson,
Clearance Johnson and Henry Holman.
all being rather short and weighing
16O or ITO pounds. They have had at
least four years experience. Kennard,
Roberts and Donaldson are lighter n
more shifty, better adapted to open
field running and the forward pass
game. Kennard was star man at State
in 1917. Fairburn, McMain and Har
oldson are trying out for the quarter
back position. Fairburn is short and
stocky, has a good voice and pass n
can punt about forty yards. McMain
and iiaroidson are men OF ability and
experience, but the all-around quail
ties of Fairburn seem to give him the
edge on the other two candidates.
Lippert, a ~1S5-pound tackle and gradu-
ate from Aberdeen Normal, looks like
a good bet for n Of the tackles.

State team, who also played with the
88th Division team in France, is hold
ing down a tackle berth. Stanton,
a 2%00-pound lineman from the Mason

other strong lineman. spec" Bacon,

and compared with the rest Of the
candidates, they are a trife slow. But
as they have all been in the army
for two years and out of practice they
may give the coaches a pleasant sur
prise when they get back into the
harness. Walt Kempley, a %190-pound
man from Fort Dodge, Ia, and an all
State man in 1916, and in the army
two years, looks like a good man for
the center job. He will be pushed
for the place by Lambe and Towers,
a pair of lighter but faster men.

ANY FOOL CAN FIND FAULT
Practically impossible for Any Prop

There is nothing however good but
q person may find some fault in it il
he is determined to DO so. There is
nothing perfect that is Of mans max
ing. There is nothing that man origin
ates or performs but what contains
more or less of his weakness. Worth.
like water, must stay below the level
of its source. 1t is quite natural that
person should dissent. The scientists
dispute as much as the theolOgians.
Every time one obtains a new stand
point he changes his opinion. Every
time he meets friend he finds that
| he differs.
So we must make up our minds to
disagree in the right spirit, observes
the Ohio State Journal. If we don't do
that and our disagreement falls into
i'll will and anxiety. then we become
enemies of the truth and social pests
| besides. The person we earnestly and
candidly disagree with may be right
and ourselves wholly wrong. 1t would
make us feel very absurd sometimes
In the midst of violent controversy,
to have a sudden light let in on the

entirely right. The safest thing, so far
as ones conduct toward him is con-
cerned is to remember he may be right
and treat him accordingly.

CHAPTER II.
History of the Reaucaires.

The first two days and nights of the
special interest or adventure. After
the first day Kirby withdrew all atten-
ton from me and ceased in his en-
deavor to cultivate my acquaintance,
convinced of my disinclination to in
dulge In cards. Throckmorton, being
his own pilot, seldom left the wheel
house, and consequently passed many
hours on the bench beside him. At one
time or another he had met the ia
nous characters along the river banks,
and through continual questioning l
thus finally became possessed of the
story of the house of Beaucaire.
| In the main it contained no unusual
features. Through the personal in
f1uence of D'Iberville at Louis court
AlphOnse de Beaucaire had originally
received a royal grant of ten thou
sand acres of land bordering the west
bank of the Mississippi few miles
above st. Louis. When his master re.
turned to France leaving him unem
ployed, Beaucaire, possessing ample
means of his own, had preferred to re
main in America. in f1atbOats, pro
pelled by voyageurs, and accompanied
by considerable retinue of slaves, he
with his family, had ascended the river
and finally settled ON his princely es
! tate. Here he erected what for those
early days was q stately mansion, ant
devoted himself to cultivating the
land. Twenty years later, when hi:
death occurred, he possessed the fines
property along the upper river, wa:
shipping heavily to the New Orlean,
market, and was probably the mos
influential man in all that section.
His only son, Felipe, succeeded him
but was not so successful in admins
tration, seriously lacking in business
Judgment, and being decidedly indo

STRAIGHT LINES HOLD SWAY
Good Thing to Remember Now That
1t Is About Time to Plan
for Fall Things.

Interest in summer suits is natur-
ally waning somewhat at the present
time, with fall so near at hand, and
the woman who is planning a fall suit
must bear in mind the fact that re-
gardless of dress silhouette, straight
lines hold sway in suits. No matter
what material is used or what trim
ming embellishes it, the smart suit
will have a straight, semi-fitted coat,
thirty to forty-five inches in length,
with narrow shoulders and long, tight
sleeves. Suit skirts are shorter than
those shown with spring models, and
while by no means full they are a
trif1e wider. Soft velours are very
popular and a great deal of fur trim
ming will be used. This fur trim
ming is usually only in the form of
generous sized collars and revers and
sometimes cuffs. Trimmed skirts or
he elaborate fur peplums used on
suit coats last season are not in evi-
