cafe in the city of Malaga.
He sat down to order glass of the
wine of the country. The most amazing
vision Of loYeliness he had ever seen came
to take his order. She was an absolutely
perfect type of Spanish beauty-black
haired, with eyes of fire and a figure of
wonderful sinuous grace.
Tom Winans became a regular customer
"a wOrshipper, rather-at that inn. To
his further anAZement he found that a
great Hindu potentate was frequenting the
inn at the same time as himself This
potentate was the Maharajah of KapuT-
thala.
When the Maharajah saw Mr. Winans,
doubtless thinking that the Americans
object was the same as his own, he hooked
at him as If he would bow-string him or
inflict some cruel Oriental torture upon
him. Mr.. Winans. on his side, naturally
concluding that the Maharajah's object
was the same as his own, looked ready to
punch him.
At this instant a happy accident re-
Vealed the fact that the Maharajah was
interested in another sister, Maria Del
gado, just as handsome as the other-al-

wish to please his beloved wife, but he had

Winans's opinion, quite the same winning
type Of loveliness. Thenceforth the Hindu
Prince and the American millionaires son
we're the best Of friends.
The history Of the Delgado sisters was
a fairy tale They came from the poorest
of the poor and suffered untold hardships.
AZ one time the sister. Maria, was selling
hot chestnuts at FIVE for a cent. Then she
found an additional way Of earning pen
nies by dancing to the music Of a barrel
organ in the street She was usually ac-
companied by her sister Victoria.
The family moved to Madrid, hoping to
make more money from Maria's beauty
and talents. Soon after going there Maria
danced on the top OF a table In an obscure
restaurant with such exquisite grace and
abandon that she created a sensation. The
proprietor engaged her to dance and the
place became celebrated. Then the Maha-
rajah. who had come to Madrid to visit
King Alfonso, and who always sees the In
teresting and curious sights wherever he
goes, went to the little restaurant
The moment he saw Maria he was smit-
ten with her wonderful beauty and fell
passionately in love with her. Papa Del
BduOt 6uIdB6u at Lu6 prospect OF having MS
breadwinner taken away from him, threat
ened to kill the ,Maharajah but was
Gained with a present of $4,000.
With this money the thrifty father
moved on to Malaga, where he was born,
and there established a nice little inn,
where his two beautiful daughters waited
on the superior customers,
The Maharajah followed after them. He
could not live without Maria, and in few
weeks married her and carried her away
and made her a reigning princess of India
The fame of the beauty Of the two sis
ters led to an offer Of a stage engagement
to Victoria, which she accepted. Tom
Winans remained constant in his devotion
to her and. following the Hindu Princes
example, soon induced her to marry him.
Then came the difficulty Of breaking
the news to father Winans and the sub
sequent cutting on Of supplies. The young
couple, who were living in Paris, were
reduced to great distress. At first Walter
Winans, the young mans uncle, helped
him with money, but his father. hearing

such distress that, it is said, they actually
lacked food.
At one time old Mr.. Winans relented
and agreed to take care Of his son and
daughterin-Iaw. He was charmed By her
beauty and won BY her two little children.
Then the incorrigible Tom eloped, with her
cousin, another Spanish beauty. his wife
died Of q broken heart, and his eccentric
father changed his VIII.
Tom Is perhaps as well on with the for
tt.ne IN the hands Of his relations, as legal
proceedings in 1912 showed that he had
spent 100000 IN a year and received very
little for It. But the trouble lies In the
grievances Of poor Victoria Deigados
children.
The Maharajah Of Kapurthala thought
much Of his beautiful sister-inlaW, and at
one time was wen disposed toward her
husband, Tom Winans. At "a sumptuOus
banquet in Paris he once said:

HELP SPECIALIST TELLS HOW
BETTER WORK MAY prevail
IF PROPER TRAINING IS GIVE

The second of the articles by Mr..
TraxIer, United States farm help
specialist written exclusively for The
Journal. appears today. In the treatise
Mr.. Traxler deals briefly and consisely
with the second great problem that
confronts the farmers of the state of
Florida today. THE Training or Skill
of Farm Help" In this article Mr..
Traxler drives his arguments home
with smash and reason that is sure
to convince. He says in one part of
his article that the fault of the trouble
with the help of this state today is
the fact that the help Is not trained
at present according to their qualif1-
cations as they should be. Mr.. Trax-
ler's article follows:
Training or Skill of Farm Help.
Training or skill of farm help is a
great factor in efficiency. Naturally
this training or skill is accomplished
only from experience. Experience is
gained from actual performance, and
in the making Of experienced help
there naturally must be a first oppor-
tunity. Now of course we would all
like to have trained men for our
work. but since there is a limited sup
ply of trained help available, it de-
wolves upon us to devise ways Of
supplying the deficiency.
My suggestion is to select men who
show qualifications and competency,
and by the continuous use of those
men in their respective lines of work
they become expert, or trained.
Now. 1t would be foolish, it seems
to me, to say to workman: John,

appropriate. But what would you do

Youmans by publishing in the Courier

by Youmans to Townley. At that

in making his tour of the country is

OUR CROPS.

According to conservative estimates
northwestern North Dakota will har-
vest about half crop, with chance
for perhaps q sixty per cent crop II
GOOD rains come within q week. While
this viii not represent as many bush
ols Of grain as we have raised in q
number Of former years, it will rep
resent large sum of money. Many
farmers will make money this yeaar,
althO the crop is a disappointment
over what it promised early in the
season.
The Power Fife and Macaroni or
Durum wheat are standing the drouth
better than the other varieties. The
Marquis wheat is firing. We will have
70 get an old fashioned soaking rain
if We expect much Of crop Of oats,
barley, millet, speltz and the various
feed crops. These were put in late
and they are standing stil waiting for
rain. Hay is good crop and COM
mands big price. Flax is not max
ing much of a showing. There was
not q great deal of fax sowed, but
what was put into the eround is not
growing much. Flax stands much
drouth but needs rain now if we ex-
pect it to mature before the frost
catches it.
The rains have consisted Of local
showers almost entirely, consequently
some districts are in better shape
than others. The district between
Parshall and Berthold will produce
the best crop in three years. Sher-
wood, Bowbells, Lorraine, Mohall, Toll
ley and Kenmare will have better than
q half crop. The crops in the vicin-
ity Of Surrey, Logan, and Velva and
southeast Of Minot generally are thin.
Crops on land that was fall plowed
when the soil was very dry looked
excellent early in the spring and un-
doubtedly would have come out all
right had we received the normal am
cunt of rain. but the past week or two
those crops have been going back rap
idly. :.
Some wheat in this vicinity will not
make more than six bushels per acre
-less than the cost of producing it,
while that sowed on summer fallow-
ing and on land carefully farmed, ap-
pears to be good for ten or twelve
bushels. Some farmers hope for if

these fields are few and far between.
