and somewhat above 1t.
The Mexicans were leisurely cook
ing their morning meal. A slow wrath
stirred In Gale as he watched the trio.
They showed not the slightest indica.
ton Of breaking camp. One fellow,
evidently the leader, packed gun at
his hip, the only weapon in sight.
Gale noted this with speculative eyes.
Then he saw two Indians on burros
come riding up the other side Of the
knoll upon which the adobe house
stood; and apparently they were not
aware Of the presence Of the Next
cans, for they came on up the path.
One Indian was a PapagO. The other,
striking in appearance for other rea-
sons than that he seemed to be about
to fall from the burro, Gale took to be
a Yaqui. They came over the knoll
and down the path toward the well,
turned a corner of the house, and
completely surprised the raiders.
Gale heard a short, shrill cry,
strangely high and wild, and this came
from one Of the Indians. It was an
swered by hOarse shouts. Then the
leader Of the trio, the Mexican who
packed gun, pulled 1t and fred point
blank. He missed Once-and again.
At the third shot the PapagO shrieked
and tumbled off his burro to fall in a
heap The other Indian swayed, as
If the taking away Of the support lent
by his comrade had brought collapse,
and with the fourth shot he, too,
slipped to the ground.
The reports had frightened the
horses in the corral; and a vicious
black, crowding the rickety bars,
broke them down. He came plunging
out. With splendid vaulting mount,
the Mexican with the gun leaped to
the back of the horse. He yelled and
waved his gun, and urged the black
forward. The manner of all three
was savagely jocose. They were hav-
ing sport. The two on the ground be-
gan to dance and jabber. The mount
ed leader shot again, and then stuck
like leech upon the bare back of the
rearing black. 1t was a vain show of
Craftsmanship. Then this Mexican, by
some strange. grip, brought the horse
down, plunging almost upon the body
of the Indian that had fallen last.
Gale stood aghast with his rife

the intention Of the raider, but sus-

bucked. He reared aloft, paving the
air, wildly snorting. then he plunged
down upon the PROSTATE Indian. Even
in the act the intelligent animal tried
to keep from striking the body with
his hoofs. Butathat was not possible.
A yell, hideous In its passion, signaled
this feat Of Craftsmanship.
The Mexican made no move to tram

DRY WEATHER FAVORED
HARVESTING OF CROPS
Nearly All Mississippi Crops in Ex
cept Late Corn.

Waynesboro.-The continued dry
weather has permitted rapid harvest
ing in all parts of tn state during the
past month, according to the report
of D. A. McCandliss, statistician for
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture. While the drouth mas
caused some damage to the late nay
crops, and has been very hard on the
pastures, the work of harvesting has
been speeded up, so that nearly all
crops are now in except some late
corn.
Corn is turning out slightly better
than was at first expected, the aver
age yield so far being 17.6 bushels
per acre, and the total probable pro.
duction being around 50,400,000 BUSH
els. This is million bushels more
than the Oct0ver forecast. The aver
age yield last year was 1S bushels
per acre, and the total production
was $4,000 bushels.
Some Of the other crops average
about the same as last year, while
many show an increase in yield.

Moscow.-For three days the Rus
sian Soviet showed the communist del
egates representing communism thro-
out the world how strong it was.
After overwhelming them with pa
rades of hundreds of thousands OF
troops-infantry, cavalry, tanks, artil-
lery newly motorized with Ohio tract
ors, marines, sailors and armed and
unarmed marines, sailors and armed
and unarmed workingmens Organiza-'
tions, altogether about ,O0O,OOO-the
leaders at the first plenary session OF
the third internationale at the Krem-
lin painted a picture Of communism ev-
erywhere.
1t was the annual review Of Boil
shevism throughout the world. After
tries had spoken NJ Zinovieff, secre-
tary of the third internationale, said:
II predict, owing to certain circum-
stances, that big uprisings will come
in Germany within a few months.
Winter will see Germany undergo a
development in which communism will
deeply effect the nation.
In America, according to the speak
er, reports from American delegates
showed dissension in the ranks of the
radicals, with factional battles which
gave communism a "hard row to hoe
| but nevertheless, despite the hard
| ships, communism has made good
progress"
England was disappointing. For rea
sons which he did not explain M. Zin-
eovieff asserted that communism was
judged to be stagnant there.
"The development there is very
very slow, in fact it is the slowest OF
any country in the world" he said.
Only once during M. Zinevieffs re
port was there applause. Deplorine

duced several sheets which he declar

was alleged that communism had
found great success in India during
| the last year, that it was making head
| way in South Africa and Australia and
| that a new party had been formed In
Egypt.
The report on Japan stated:
| "The revolutionary workmen are
united and strong and the movement
is growing"
! On the other hand, the situation in
| Hungary was very sad" while in
France, Norway and Jugo Slavia there
was weakness on account of dissension
| in the communist ranks.
Communism's hopes, therefore, said
| NJ. Zinovieff, are in Germany.
