SACRED CATTLE OF INDIA
 IN TEXAS STOCK SHOW

FORT WORTH, Texas, April 21 (by Associated Press) ).-The great sacred cattle of India have gone to home pastures with blue ribbons for the first time from the Fort Worth fat stock show, setting new era in the industry in the Southwest
 The Brahmas came from the great Pierce ranches in Wharton county.
 What attracted most interest about the sacred cattle" is the fact that they are tick-proof and drouth-resist- ing. Originally pure-broods, these giant, gaunt cattle have been crossed with Texas stock until they have dropped some of the physical charac- teristics of their kind. But they still retain the hump, and their natural wildness has been intensified.

SOVIET GOVERNMENT
 MAY ADOPT MEASURES
 TO ENFORCE LABOR

LONDON, April 21 Cby Associated Press) The Russian soviet govern ment has threatened to put the work shops of the Northern railways under martial law in order to put an end to what it calls the "crime" of the work CTS in wasting time in holiday-making, according to a wireless message from Moscow. The government asserts that 1000 days were thus lost in one month, and that 'the railway men are arranging to have two days of idIeness each week at a time when millions of people are hungering and when it is impossible to transport bread owing to lack of railway en- zines" It notifies the idlers that they will either have to make up for the time "of which the republic has been robbed" or receive full penalty under martial law.
 The message issued by the govern ment is headed Shame! Comrades!" and declares that Russia can not await salvation from foreigners, but must fight her own internal blockade in or der to lend the ruinous condition of things, conquer hunger and save the soviet republic"

TOMBSTONE NAMED
 AFTER MINERS CLAIM

TOMBSTONE, Ariz., April 21 (by Associated Press) "A prospector's curious sense of humor was respons1- be for the n;1r. ry. of this town which recently has gotten into the news dispatches because of the Bis bee deportation trials being held here.
 According to James F. Duncan, who came here in 1879, the town was founded t6at year by Ed. Schieffelin, 8 mining prospector Schieffelin call ed his mine near the site of the courthouse "Tombstone mine," Dun- can said, because the region was full Wof drab rocks that resembled tomb stones.
 sTradition has it, however, that Schieffelin's friends frequently ral- lied him for his faith in the locality, and told him that he would find his tombstone here. After the prospec. tor had made his fortune here, in good natured irony he is said to have named the town after the fate that had been predicted for him.
 schiefflein was found dead in log cabin in the state of Washington May 11, 1897. According to his wishes, his body was brought back to his tombstone" and buried near here His pick-ax and other tools were buried with him. Above the grave his sdnetiecer : vbgkqj cmfw if his friends erected a simple monu-, ment, fashioned after the rude man ner of a prospector's claim stake merely a pile of unevenly shaped rocks.

BASEBALL FANS STRUCK HIGH
 COST OF GAMES

CHICAGO, April 21 (by Associated Press). ).-Twenty- baseball in the American Association is no more. The high cost of the national game will be ushered in with the opening of the 1920 campaign
 President Hickey has just announced that with the start of the pennant race the prices of all seats in every park :. in the league will be slightly raised to Sheet the mounting cost of operations and the higher salaries paid baseball players.
 The fan who last season paid 3O cents, war tax included, for favor1te spot in the bleachers, will be obliged to lay down 50 cents this season. This includes the war tax. The price of grandstand seats will be advanced from 50 to 75 cents, war tax included. But there is so1ace for the fan who sits in the reserved seats. The price will remain the same, 85 cents. The price of box seats, however, will be fixed by each individual club.
 President Hickey, in his statement announcing the increase, declared that a readjustment of the prices of admission was absolutely necessary to assure success of the game. He de- c1ared that operatin gexpenses since tHe organization of the American As sociation, nineteen years ago, had wsubled, and in some instances were three times as high, whereas the price of admission had remained the same.

to build a campfire by the way with
the few bits of wood we could pick
up. When we reached Warsaw we
found the city so overrun with refu-
gees that we were thankful to sleep
on the hard seats of our railway
coach, and could hardly obtain food
of any sort"
Miss Pawluskiewicz added: 1--WE
did not want to leave, and did so only
because We were ordered out. Con-
'dltions among the people were terri
bic, and will be worse now. The
children practically subsisted on the
one meal day, consisting of cocoa
and one roll, Or of cornmeal mush
and condensed milk, which the Amer
lean Relief Association provided; and
hundreds of them had no clothing ex-
cept that given them by the Ameri-
can Red Cross. l cannot see what
they are going to do, how they can
even exist now. We had a dispen-
sary all equipped ready to begin OPP
erations on the next Monday, when
we were ordered to leave and I had
classes of older girls to do
sewing and knitting for the more
needy people. As soon as possible I
want to go back"

the vital need of clothing for these
people" said Miss Pawluskiewicz.
"They are grateful for anything, and
will make up any cast-off piece of
cloth into some kind of garment.
Shoes sell at present for 1000 marks
a pair, and laborers make only % to
80 marks day-a large sum before
the war. The problem of obtaining
clothes to wear is for them an insol-
uble one, and it is only through the
efforts of the American Red Cross
that they have pulled through at all. :"

We're in that country visiting their

early years of the World War. For
six years the people have been living
in the midst of war and war condi-
tions. In the villages and the coun-
try there have been no schools for
this length of time. The children are
growing up in ignorance and without
moral training, which their parents
are too much overwhelmed with mis-
cry and too hopeless to give them.
Because everything they had has
been destroyed, practically all food,
clothing, and fuel must be shipped
in, and consequently can scarcely be
obtained, especially by the peasants.
