MIDDLE CLASS ON
 THE ROAD TO RUIN
H. Rider Haggard. British Author, Expresses His Views on ECO
 homie Crisis.

London. Jan. 23.-Sir II. Rider Ha aCgard, the author, believes the middle classes of England are on the road to ruin.' This opinion he eX- pressed in d letter to the general sec retarN of the Middle Classes union. re- gretting that other work prevented him from assuming the presidency Of 8 branch of the union.
 q sympathiZe fully with your movement" he wrote. The middle classes by which I take to mean all beneath the rank of peers who do not actually earn their living by the work of their hands are without doubt on the road to ruin. Owing principally or at any rate very largely to the incredible expense of rearing and educating children their birthrate is decreasing in a most alarming fashion and probably IS now exceeded by their death rate.
 He declared that against these classes the profiteer is given a free hand and that 'undcr prctcnte of ] nebulos anti-dumping bill, they are now threatened with the loss of the blessings of free trade which alone enables many with fixed, or dWind- ling incomes, to live at all. He said that only combination to protect themselves and their interests could save them.

TO FIGHT HOG CHOLERA

state College Offers Services of Spc-
 ciaIists to Aid Farmers in Cam
 paign.
 New York, Jan. 23.-With the great financial loss in New York state from hog cholera the announcement that pr. J. B. Cady, a specialist in this dis case, is made available to aid farmers, county agents. veterinarians and oth- CTS interested in live stock, becomes of interest not only to those who are di- rCctlN concerned. but to everyone who finds the cost of living a serious prob lem. The announcement points out that the services of Dr. Cady are made possible through the cooperation of the state veterinary and agricultural colleges at Ithaca and the federal bu- rcau of animal industry and contin- ues:
 The preventable losses to live stock in New York have never re ceived the attention that their inn pOrtance demands. At this time the maintenance Of health and vigor and the insurance of high efficiency in cV cry animal upon the farm is the least that can be expected.
 "Only in this manner can feeders aQGQudCClN conserve the laDOf ana supplies used in live stock produc- ton. Many losses largely prevent able should not constitute an addi tional tax on production. For this reason it has seemed desirable to start work on hog cholera and related subjects.
 Farmers. county agents and oth CTS may obtain the services of the hog cholera specialist through the eXtcn- sion service of the State College of Agriculture at Ithaca, N. Y. He is available for meetings, inspections and dem onstrations on farms and the like. This subject could well be in cfuded in the local programs of dem- onstratiOn schools. community meet inGs and rural lecture courses. Con- serVation through sanitary live stock method is a factor of great impor- tance and calls for fullest co-opera- tion on the part of producers. veteri- narians and agricultural Organiza- tiOnS.'

New Pastor Put His Ante Too High

 "PaSsCu.'
 New York, Jan. 23.-The new pas tor of a negro church in a New ter Sey town was much disturbed over the smallness of the Sunday collec- tions, which were below those of the old pastors, and he wont to one of the dcaCOnS for counsel and adNice. This deacon had the reputation of having q weakness for cards and oth- CT. games of chance, and he some times betrayed himself in his cOnVCr- sations by using idioms of the poker table instead of ecclcsiastical cNpl eS- sons when he desired to illustrate or emphasize a point.
 "Deacon," said the pastor. "why is it that the collections have fallen far Rev. pr. Brown?"
 The deacon scra tched his head meditativcly, and then as the reason occurred to him replied:
 ''Dr. Brown used to paste d nickel in the plate as a decoy, and it sure did have a. powerful effect on the pockets of the congregation"
 The pastor thanked him for the in formation and departed much re- lieved. He decided to go Dr. Brown q few nickels better, and instead of a nickel he pasted a quarter in the plate. But when the collection was taken up to the pastors surprise it was even smaller than previous col lections.
 The pastor again went to the dea- con and told him what had hap pened.
 But. my dear pastor.' the deacon remonstrated, you should have known better than to raise Dr. Browns ante. No wonder the play crs dropped out of the game and the kitty was empty''

 RECOGNITION TO-DAY

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Secretary Colby is expected to make known, be- fore his departure for South America Sunday or Monday, the nature of his reply to the recent letter of R. V. Pes queira, confidential agent here of the provisional government of Mexico, set ting forth the claims of that govern ment to recognition by the United States.
 Recent informal conferences be- tween state department officials and M. Pesqueira are understood to have cleared the way for such an announce ment- 1t was believed the Mexican agent had full knowledge of the posi- tion the American government would take when he left today on a hurried trip to Mexico City.
 MT. Pesqueira's letter was made pub lie by the state department with com ments by MT. Colby. which said that a few points remained to be cleared up before recognition could be granted. While officials decline to discuss the substance of the reply now being drafted, it is believed to contain spe- clfic reference to matters in dispute between the two countries and state ment of what the United States will consider as a satisfactory solution by Mexico of some of her problems.
 It was said that no attempt would be made to dictate to Mexico what she must do to attain the status necessary for recognition, but 1t will be made clear that the United States will be unable to accord recognition until cer- tain tangible guarantees are given by Mexico of her willingness and ability to protect American lives and legiti- mate interests in Mexico. Among things Mexico will be expected to do | it is known, will be to make an inter pretation of article 27 of the censtitu- tion of Queretaro by some official pro- nouncement This is within the pur-
 view of congress or of the Mexican supreme court, before which many suits brought on behalf of Americans and American companies have beer
