 SHATTERED.
AMAR0 TO BATTLE GUAJARDO
Orders Cannon and Machine Guns and Five Hundred Troops From Juarez and Chihuahua City
 in Open Revolt

Concho, Chihuahua - The dreams of the new Mexican government of unification and new peace and prog ress are dissipating
 Gen. Jesus Guajardo, into whose treacherous trap Zapata stepped to his death, has declared himself in open revolt against the Gbregon gov ernment. With the thousand men he was sent north 10 reinforce Gen. Joa- quin Amaro This follower of Gen. eral Gonzales at Gomez Palacio near Torrean recently broke relations with Amaro. Four hundred men under Col. SalustiO Lima decided to remain loyal to the present regime and escaped and are coming north to Jiminez to join Amaro. With three trains Qua jardo started east over the road to Saltillo This road parallels the Torreon- Saltillo road to the north and crosses Lake Marian in Coahuila state
 Amaro ordered road cut east of the lake and waiting until Guajardo's conveys were out in the middle at once cut the road behind him, isolat ing him on the high embankment in the center of the lake. He ,aen or dered cannon and machine guns and 800 troops from JuareZ and Chihua- hua City. This will leave only skele- ton organizations to guard the Mexi- can Central railroad against the re- gently defeated Villista forces Anna TO will race south over a clear right of way to battle Guajardo out in his lake. Torreon and Saltillo troops are also being rushed to the scene.

EXPLAINING THAT 30 CENTS
chs,np Clark Wanted to Know About 1t, and the Clerk Gave Him
 the Information.

Champ Clark likes shirts that have a small red stripe. Not long ago he went into the shop of d Washington Naberdasher to buy Il dress shirt. Se- -ecting one, he gave the clerk Sl0 aill, and while waiting for his change wandered around looking at the shirts displayed But let the former speaker tell us about it, says The Nations Business.
 '1 found Il fine shirt with small red stripes and I like to wear that kind. During the war you could not get a shirt with red stripes which would not fade. I said to the clerk:
 "'What is the price of that shirtT
 ""Three dollars
 "'Give me that and take it out of the ten
 "When he came back with the change he did not have enough and l called his attention to it.
 "'You are gougng me. What is that extra thirty cents for?'

mnigration officials at New vo, are watching with increasing interes, the growing number of stowawavs Q. irving there on almost every steamxb,, that carries passengers. These ars od ventureTy of all sorts, often men w,o are undesirable because they fail = come up to the tests set by law fo, admission into the country. In nea,,r every case these unlisted arrivals ar. deported and usually on the groncs that they might become charges unon the public.
 On trial before a board of snoc,,y inquiry these aliens admitted tbo, while they had not crossed the Al, lantic as stuwaways In the old-fash. toned sense of the word, their shin. ment had not been a matter regularlv arranged for. This being SO tbov were classed on the records as sto,y.. aways and ordered deported. Because of their admissions the investigation was begun.
 There is q great rush of stowa. ways to the United States just now~ commented Superintendent r. A. Pak. CT of Ellis island There are sey. eral reasons why this condition should hold, especially as we look at the pres ent state of Europe after the great war. Many persons fleeing from the unsettled conditions and the turmoil in Russia. Germany and Poland are fleeing to the seaports of Holland, Bel. gium or France. Many of these have the idea of joining relatives in this country, and to all of them America now looms large as place of refuge. So when they get 10 the sea they seek to leave trouble HIS far behind them as possible by sailing.
 "Some of those who are seeking to come in without their names being manifested have been in America be. fore. They are part of the great army that went out from our ports when the world war got under way. They have had their share of adventure and now with peace there again they find themselves without money and with the desire to return again to the Unit. ed States. As an instance of the way this class is arriving 1t was reported the other day that seven were found on the steamship Finland and four on the St. Paul, which arrived within A hours"

SHOWER OF PEANUTS
Brief Downpour AstonisFes Residents
 of Santa Monica.


 Residents of the Ocean drive near the municipal pier at Santa Monica, Cal, were astonished when it began to rain peanuts early one morning from a somewhat overcast but cloud less sky The shower was brief but vehement The peanuts rattled and bounced over roofs, roadways and ex- posed shoulders. but were soon re- trieved by youngsters, who cared less about the phenomenon than the re suits. The mystery was explained when sam Christoff visited the spot on the pier where he left his peanut roaster last night. It was gone. He then remembered that he had left the flame turned on under the boiler. One piece of the roastof was found embedded in a porch pillar 800 feet away. Otherwise it was sunk with 0ar . trace"

less productive than the other kernels
on the ear; the thick rounded kernels
from the butts are just as productive
as any of the rest, but because of
their shape and size they do not plant
uniformly when used In a corn plant
er with other kernels.
Smelling by hand takes more time
and labor. but is profitable. The me-
chanical corn. shelter will injure some
of the kernels, and thus destroy or
reduce their power to grow and yield.
No matter how large the required sup
ply, says the department. 1t will still
pay to shell 1t pa~instakingly by hand,
because the greater the acreage to
be planted the greater the ultimate
profit.
Each ear should be shelled sepa-
rately into a shallow pan or box. and
any blemished, poorly developed, moldy
or worm-eaten kernel should be re-
jected.
As the seed from each ear Is found
satisfactory and sound, and free from
poor kernels, it Is poured into the gen.
eral supply and another ear is shelled
in the same way. 1t is much easier
to pick out defective kernels from a
thin layer in a small sieve than from
a large, mingled quantity In a bushel
easur or a bag.

SOME FARMERS GRIND

General Practice Of Farmers Is

Occasionally Man Is Found Who Has
His Own Little Mill and Does His
Own Grindino-Bakers Are
Patronixed In Some Casea

Cereals, such as corn, wheat and
buckwheat, are raised nearly every
where throughout the United States.
These grains are staple breadstufs,
but the general practice Of farmers is
to buy -four and meal rather than
grind or have their W grain ground
for home use, says the United States
department Of agriculture. In certain
sections where custom gristmills are
found. farmers still have some grain
ground into -four and meal for home
use. Occasionally q farmer is found
who has his own little mill and who
makes his own -four and meal.
The average farm family consumes
about six barrels of -four In a year.
In the South the average annual con-
sumption OF cornmeal is about 500
pounds per family and in the North
about so pounds. The consumption
of buckwhest and rice is low. except
in areas where these crops are gen.
orally grown.

The quantity and quality of the corn
you will harvest mex fall depend. first,
on the kind of seed you plant this
spring. Perfect culture and the best
weather in the world cannot remedy
the initial evil if you plant poor seed.
A good seed corn, say specialists of
the United States department of agri-
culture, is n that is adapted to the
locality. is grown on the most produc-
tive plants of a productive variety, is
well matured, and preserved from RI
pening to planting time in such a way
that the full vigor Of the seed will be
retained.
1t should have been selected in the
fall from the stalk. but if that was
neglected all that can be done now is
to obtain a uniform type of seed true
to varietal characteristics and that will
grow.
sproutIng Not Whole Story.
The mere fact that the kernels will
sprout In a germlnator is not the whole
story. Recent experiments have shown
that weak sprouts may be indications
of disease, that similar seed when
planted is likely not to sprout and, If
1t does, will grow only a few inches or,
at best, produce a barren stalk.
Corn that will come up but that will
produce an improbable crop Is worse
than seed which won't grow at all, be
cause it fools the farmer into wasting
labor and land on 1t. Know what your
seed will do by selecting 1t yourself.
Cheap seed corn may prove very
dear; the seed corn that produces the
best crop usually is the cheapest.
II you must buy seed, pay your
neighbor a reasonable price for select
ed, well-preserved seed Of a variety
that has made good in a n%eighboring
field; but don't pay a stranger a fancy
price for seed claimed to give miracu-
lous yields.
Points on Preparing for Planting Seed.
Seed ears should first be nubbed, and
the kernels from tip and butt should
be discarded from the seed supply.

RAc-DoLL TESTER Is
SIMPLE AND efficient

The rag-doll method Of test
ing individual ears Of corn is one
of the simplest and most eco
nomical, and is efficient, says
the United States department of
agriculture.
The tester consists of a strip
of cloth, preferably bleached
muslin, 16 inches wide and from
three to five feet long. The
cloth should be marked of into
square sections and the squares
all numbered. The ears to be
tested should also be given cor
responding numbers. Six or
more kernels should be selected
from different parts of each ear,
and placed in the proper Sec
ton.
When the tester Is filled. fold
over each side so that the edges
meet in the center. roll up, and
soak the tester for a few hours
in lukewarm water. Drain off
the excess water and place the
dolls in a warm place for the
seed to terminate. They should
be covered with a wet cloth to
keep them moist. and in about
five days the seed should be suf-
ficiently well terminated to show
its fitness for planting.
Farmers Bulletin 94S, "The
Rag-Doll Seed Tester" describes
fully this method of testing seed
corn. 1t may be obtained free
from the department.
