the mother OF the famous fake baby
family, admitted to-day that her daugh-
ter. Mrs Eva May Swain. had also pre-
sented her husband with adopted chill
dren. giving him five. including two
pairs Of twins, and keeping him in ig-
norance Of the fact that they were not
his own.
Mrs. Swain lives in Jacksonville. and
Mrs. South says she came to Atlanta to
get the children and to have them born
here. They came. she asserts. from the
same maternity hospital from which she
obtained the eleven with which she for
fourteen years fooled her own husband.
'My laughter inherited her great ioVe
to- children from me. and I'm awfu!y
glad Of H." asserted Mrs. South
Neither 81 us Is oae bit sorry Tor what
we've done: we know ,hat we have CON-

Mrs Swain Is the only daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. South and now is 81 years
cld-just fifteen years younger than her
mother.
I'm 1909 she was married 10 George
Pew. a machlnist Of Richmond" Mrs.
South said "Their marriage was an ut

separated. No children had blessed their

Eva May promptly obtained d.

became the wife of Willis Fl. Swain Of
He was an electrician for
the construction engineering company

life was happy from the start, and their
little home was one of the most de-

two years passed and no children came,
and Eva May was bitterly disappointed
Like myself, she had a great desire
for children. She was the only living
person. except Mrs. M. T. Mitchell. at
the maternity home. who knew how I
obtained my eleven babies. so she wrote
me that she wanted to have some babies
the same way.
Before she arrived in Atlanta I made
ell arrangements with Mrs. Mitchell to
get the baby from her home. Eva May

Since then. Mrs. South says. her
daughter has obtained two pairs of

WASHINGTON, Feb. I3. - The United

a hearing and the sympathy OF the

their real object is to obtain abroga-
ton OF the treaty between the United
States and Hayti and to bring about a
return OF the old conditions OF govern

Knapp I'm his report continued. II think
that 999 out of every 1000 Haytians
would be glad to see the American forces
remain TO enforce good order. In other
words. the Haytians, even the worst
agitators among them. would be willing
to have the United States act the part
OF policeman and otherwise leave them
to their own devices.
THE 95 per cent. would be exploited
for the dishonest benefit of the 5 per

Secretary of Labor Davis was requested nv

to how capital and labor best can get together.
The secretary replied Three hundred words
too many The best way for capital and labor
to get together is to get together"
The words are apt but Secretary Davis, like
good many thousands OF economists and Of
fceholders, cannot find the process whereby
this getting together may be realized. In Chi
cago Judge Lands has been attempting to ad-
Indicate the controversy in the building trades.
and he has discovered that of all the foolish
animals man is the most foolish. Finally. in

A Sad Ending.
matters.

The news Of the death of Emile De Santo
brought sorrow to the hearts of many Rock
Island people last night for she had been a
teacher in the city's' public schools for up
wards of thirty years, hundreds of the young
men and women of today having been members
Of her classes. Miss De Santo was regarded
one of the most efficient instructors of the
Rock Island force. She was a woman pos
sessed OF fine mind, of a sweet and motherly
nature, and kept very close to those whose
studies she directed. She Mad been failing in
health for two years, and because Of her con-
dition had resigned from the teaching staff of
the city schools.
Miss De Santo had been faithful worker
during her many years with the schools, and
Der retirement did not relieve condition that
possibly had been growing. her for long
period. without something to occupy her mind
She grew melancholy and reached the con-
Clusion that there was no possibility for her
to regain her health. While the circumstances
point to deliberate purpose at seIf-destruc-
ton, it is likely that when the impulse seized
her she was net in her right mind, for it is
rare that persons of her intelligence wish to
go before their time.

Brooches for Women.

no Really it would not be so bad If women
would adopt kniGkerbockers for everyday
practical use-cestainly not if they could look
as nifty as the ones that are picked for the
pictures And therein perhaps lies the dlfh-
Guilty The too-fats offer a solid front of oppo-
sftion with the too-lcans as light brigade
skirting the tanks. So that even for practical
wear, to say nothing OF dress occasions. the
skirt is likely to- flourish as the popular mooe
of feminine dress for several more decades
But this ought not to be. Those whose ng-
-ures can stand jacket and knickerbockers
should wear them. For the fact Is that the
2 knicKerbocker is much more modest than the
skirt short or long; far more comfortable and
healthful; and because OF the probability that
it would not constantly change in style much
more economical in the long run. But woe TO
women if she should decide to make the kn1ck-
erbocker an alI-year garment. For no longer
will she feel the cooling zephyr coming
through If she -encroaches too far on mans
prerogative of breeches with man she must
sweat and suffer through the hot summer days.

Roads and Farms.

In some Of the eastern states it is easy to
build permanent roads because there is very
little surface soil and then solid rock Thin
paving OF any sort stays out because nature
provides a foundation of stone. In Illinois we
have strong healthy soil. and then some more
soil. In wet weather this is mud and thin paw
ing such is used in the east soon sinks
therein. Illinois road paving requires a heavy
foundation of concrete. Hence permanent sur
facing is costly.
roads it makes poor farm lands.
Because the Illinois surface makes poor
roads it makes good farm lands
Taking everything into consideration, roads
and all, Illinois has the big advantage. A good
road without good farm is merely means Of
travel between two cities. All-year roads in
Illinois are much more than that. They
meet the farm with the town, which is much
more important than connecting the city with
the city.
Illinois is most fortunate because it is both
difficult and expensive to put permanent sur
face on the mud. Let Illinois give thanks;
we have just good paved roads as III
the east, and we will still have the mud. And
the east will buy and eat the food produced
by the Illinois mHd Thus will the east help
to pay the extra cost of paving and thereby
lose the slight advantage it has in road
matters.

RECOGNIZING the Bullsnake.

Onitholopists rhapsodize upon the beautiful
music of the birds. their attractive plumage,
their interesting habits! and especially upon
their service to humanity in the destruction OF
insects We have laws to protect the song
birds and game wardens to enforce them
Audubon societies and bird clubs are IN exist
ence everywhere, their chief purpose being To
promote measures for the preservation of bird
life A good Job they are doing, too, because
il it wasn't for the birds all life would probably
be reduced to the insecttivora in a short time.
But there is another humble friend of man
who has no societies nor clubs dedicated to his
protection no cheerful song to endear him to
his human associates, no attractive personality
to make him friends He is the ugly and re-
pulsive bullsnake, who wars on the natural
enemies of man and is therefore in his way
quite as valuable as the birds.
The bullsnake really needs protection more
than do the birds Because man feels natur-
ally friendly to the birds they probably would
not suffer too severely even if there were no
laws and no organizations devoted to their
protection. But the bullsnake belongs to a
family that has been instinctively feared and
hated by man since a memorable hap
pening in the garden of Eden. A body's first
impulse is to heave a rock at him or club
. him over the head. Yet he is of the most
n inoffensive of creatures and death rodents.
Some people affect tomcats as protection
against rats and mice. but a tomcat is just an
amateur beside good poppy bullsnake.
Many farmers have learned his worth and
let him live Public recognition is now given
him by the Kansas agricultural college. Stat
isticians there have figured his actual dollars
and cents value to the human race and have
issued bulletin on him. They say he can
cIaaD ont no oOnhPrS n alfalfa
in a month and take care of six acres in a season
Since the average gopher damage ia an alfalfa
field is reckoned at $3.50 an acre the value of
a bullsnake, that is full grown and one with
healthy appetite, is fixed at $3.50 per month.
During off days, when the gopher supply runs
short, he takes run down to the barn and
cleans up rats and mice. And for all this,
the bulletin points opt, all he asks is the right
to live. He really seems to have earned it
