Obregon's approval of a coalition
revolution has bene sought, it is also

likely successor to Carranza in the
1920 elections and is generally believed
to be opposed to strife at this time
Authorita tive opinion is that he

NEGRO ToYMAKER DISCOVERED

DES MONIES, Ia, Feb. 18.-America
isn't going to miss German made toys
at all. Before the war the quaint
wooden toys which bore the imposing
stamp, Made in Germany" were con-
sidered just little better than any
other.
In the war America found herself
in more ways than one.
At Fort Des Moines an Alabama
Negro soldier is daily turning out
just as attractive wooden toys as Ger
many ever thought of making. Gun
ming little animals, birds mounted
with the laughing heads of colored
Dinahs and Topsys-al these are being
evolved under the nimble fingers of
men who used to laugh and sing in
the cotton fields and didn't even know
the meaning of the words "boche" or
"kultur" several years ago.
A effort is being made to have the
toys put on the market. ~

Trap Is Set

In order to stir up anger among
the farmers in the district a white
family by the name of Hightower en-
deavored to use their daughter Clare
Hightower, as means of trapping one
of the Bryant boys. Since the death of
the elder Mr.. Bryant his sons have
been looking after the affairs of the
farm. This young white girl made
frequent visits to the Bryan home.
About two years ago she claimed that
she gave Henry Bryant, one of the
sons, $500 as a personal gift. and ugred
him to go to some other town, and she
would follow. He refused. Ever since
this was commonly known bitter feel
ing has been aimed at the Bryant's.
Fire on Mob
Recently a crowd of white farmers
appeared at the Bryant home late in
the night and demand entrance.
They were heavily armed. The Bryant
boys, fearing trouble, ordered the mob
to halt. This command was unheed-
ed. Shortly after a period of quiet,
several shots rang out Four white
men fell dead and seven more were
wounded. The younger Bryant boy
was shot in the side of the head His
body was later found dangling from a
tree. The elder Bryant boy escaped
to the woods. Sheriff Edward Black
was called to the scene. The Bryant
farm consisted of ten cows, five mules,
three horses, large number of pigs,
chickens sheep and other domestic
animals

The 36Sth Infantry, colored fought
sioriously in the Argohne. 1t became
necessary to sent runner with a
message to the left flank of an Amer
lean firing line. The way was across
an open field swept by heavy machine
gun fire.
Volunteers were called for. Private
Edward Saunders of Company I re-
sponded. Before he had gone far a
shell cut him down. AS he fell he erie
to his comrades:
"Some one come and get this mes
sage. l am wounded"
Lieutenant Robert L. Campbell of
the same company dashed across The
shell swert space, picked up the
wounded private, and with the Ger
mans fairly hailing bullets around
him, carried his man back to the Amer
lean lines.
For the valor shown both were cited
for the Distinguished Service Cross,
and Licu,., ant Campbell, in addition,
was recommended for a captaincy
A Black Hero
Another single detail, taken from
the same company:
John Baker, having volunteered, was
taking a message through heavy shell
fire to another part of his line. A shell
struck his hand, tearing away part of
it, but the Negro, unfaltering, deliv-
cred his message.
He was asked why he did not seek
aid before compelling the journey.
81 thought the message might con-
tain information that would save some
lives" was the answer.
Ruse of Negro Troops
Under the same lieutenant, Roberts
L. Campbell, a few colored soldiers,
armed only with their rifles, trench
knives and hand grenades,, picked up
from shell holes along the way, were
moving over a road in the Chateau
Thierry sector. Suddenly their course
was crossed by the firing of d German
machine gun. They tried to locate it
by the direction of the bullets, but
could not To their right a little
ahead, lay space covered with thick
underbrush; just back of it was. an
open field.
Lieutenant Campbell, who knew by
the direction of the bullets that his
party had not been seen by the Ger
mans, ordered one of his men, with
rope which they happened to have, TO
crawl to the thick underbrush and tie
the rope to several stems of the
brush; then to withdraw as far as pos
sible and pull the rope, making the
bush shake as though men were crawl
ing through it. The purpose was to
draw direct fire from the machine gun
and by watching to locate it's position.
The ruse worked. Lieutenant
Campbell then ordered taree of his
men to steal out and flank the ma
chine gun on one side, while and two
others moved up and flanked it on
the other side.
The brush was shaken more vio-
lently by the secret rope. The Ger
mans, their eyes focused on the brush,
poured a hail of bullets into it. Lieut..
tenant Campbell gave the signal. The
thanking party dashed up; with their
hand grenades they killed four of the
Boches and captured the remaining
three-also the machine gun.

PUT PROFITS INTO DIAMONDS
Many Reasons Why Increased Demand
for Precious Stones Invariably
Follows Devastating War.

The waste of war, by which many
suffer and few reap returns, is always
accompanied by demand for precious
stones. This war has differed only
from other wars in that the demand
was greater. Profiteers in the allied
countries have bought for the purpose
of display. Profiteers in enemy coun-
tries want diamonds, because they sup
ply the safest way Of concealing new
ly acquired wealth. AS the diamond
industry is the closest corporation in
the world, values are not likely to de
preciate, unless all. the profiteers want
to change their investments at the
same time. At the present moment
the price is higher than it has ever
been.
The diamond dealer is Of all trad
ers the least hampered by Office re-
strictions. He frequently carries the
bulk of his stock in trade about with
him in his waistcoat pocket. The pub
lie street is, as often as not, his only
market place. In Haton gardens,
which is the chief center Of the dia-
mond industry in London, may fire.

ATS PERJURY!"

Synopsis-Senor Antonio de la

on his ancestral estate on the
American side Of the Mexican bor-
der, is informed by his American
lawyer, Dempton, that there is a
technical error in his will. He
thereupon signs a new will. without
reading it. In the meantime his
adorable granddaughter and heir
ess, Senorita Teresa, is out ON her
rose-covered balcony. listening to
American love-making from Billy
Stairway, owner of the Painted
Rock ranch. Teresa. going to join
her grandfather, finds him gone,
with the drawing room in disorder
and blood on the floor. The Amer
lean takes command of the situa-
ton. Senior Eduardo Ramon Tore.
a hated kinsman of the De Ia
Guerras, arrives. Stanway and the
. De la Guerra ranch hands return
from vain pursuit of the bandits.
The new will disinherits Teresa and
makes Tore sole heir. Captain
Juarez, nominally representing the
bandits, appears and demands $780,
900 ransom for De la Guerra. Tore;
as heir, tries to assume control and
demands that Teresa produce the
ransom. Stairway detainS Tore

Tore sprang up swiftly, his face
flushing darkly with rush Of angry
blood.
"You shall see," he cried harshly,
''that even a rat in q trap may have
sharp teeth. You fool, it is who will
offer terms-or dictate-at my pleas

He turned away with short, ugly
laugh. Stairway for the first time felt
little shock Of positive dread; fear
that he was risking too much; that he
had no right to assume this RESPONSE
bility. For there was something In
Torres voice which told him that the
man was making no idle threat.

CHAPTER Viii.
At Three O'Clock.


The questions perplexing Stairway
were these: "Is there large force
of men backing Tore and Juarez? Are
they alone in the thingY And there
was only one way to answer them.
AS the afternoon slipped by and
dusk came down upon them, sweet and
warm, through the groves of orange
and olive trees, Teresa sent word to
the mems quarters for all, excepting
a half dozen of them, to come to the
house.
Those not coming in were to remain
on guard over the corrals into which
the saddle-horses had been herded, and
to serve as sentinels along the bor-
der. The guard over Tore and Juarez
was doubled; the two men were dis
| armed and assigned to cOuches upon
the opposite side of the drawing-room.
Doors were fastened, windows
locked, shutters drawn, and the haci-
enda was like an old fortress in time

for complications with this country.
But we are taking no chances. 1t would
take whole regiment of them to trou-s
BILE us here tonig ght." -.
"But are we doing right?" she whis-
pered a little fearfully. .'If we gave
them the money-it is so small part
Of papa grande's estate-he would be
Ill And
1T is a bluff of Torres, pure and
SIMPLE" he told her. IF anything
should happen to Senor de la Guerra,
Tore and Juarez would not last f1f-
teen minutes with your little army Of
retainers, senorita. They talk big,
both of them, but am not afraid"
But when she had given him her
hand and wan smile by the way OF
"Buenas noches," he was not content
until he himself had seen to the watch
fulness of the men stationed here and
there throughout the big house. And,
by the way of final precautiOn, he saw
that another man slept that night at
Pedro's side, in front of the senorita's
door. and that both men were armed.
He had not again gone to where
Dempton fumed and worried in the IL
brary. It was his thought to leave the
lawyer to chew upon the cud of sus-
picion his own parting words had given
him, to make the night long and un-
eventful for him, so that his trembling
little soul might have time for thought.
It was late when Teresa needed his
urging and went to her room. He left
her at the foot of the stairs leading up
to her chambers; saw Pedro preparing
to spend the night at her doorway, and
then went to his own room, decided to
sleep until the stiller hours Of the
night came; then to superintend in
person the watch which was being
kept throughout the house. ~
On his way to the wing Of the build
ing which had been given over to him,
he passed through the drawing-room
for the last time. ~
Juarez seemed to be asleep upon his
couch. Half a dozen Of Gaucho's va
queros, all armed, were scattered
about the room, their quick eyes show
| ing how alert was the spirit within
them. Tore, sitting at table idly
| turning the leaves Of an illustrated
book of poems, rose quickly when

stepped to his side.

The bulletin contains ~ lessons, in
cluding the selection of seed potatoes

tatoes in the rotation, soils (kind,
preparation, fertilizers), planting and

Importance Of Potato.
In referring to the importance OF the
potato, the bulletin says it is one OF
the most widely cultivated Of the ag'
ricultural plants, and next to Indian
corn Is the most important contribu-
ton Of America to the food supply of
the world. Probably no crop except
rice is eaten by larger number Of
people. In the more thickly populated
regions of northern Europe the pota-
to is now the most important of hu-
man foods, furnishing about 25 per
cent of the food Of the continental and
English peoples. Only the oriental
peoples exist without 1t. Not only are
the tubers used for food, but they have
important Industrial uses. AS Ameri'
can population increases, the potato
will become more and more important
in this country, there being no other
crop which will give such q large, yield
of food suitable for man under such
varying conditions. .. '
