MOTHER FINDS SONS.
Boys Were Kidnapped From Her So
Years Ago.

Just when the clouds of adversely
hung heaviest over the pathway of
life of Mrs. Mary Margaret Roper, so,
a resident at the county poor house,
ray of sunshine pierced through,
says a Kansas City, Mo-, dispatch.
For the aged woman has just found
her two sons, who were kidnapped
fifty-eight years ago. Nearly sixty
years she had spent alternately hop
ing and despairing Of finding her
boys, who were literally snatched
from her arms when they were
scarcely able to toddle. More than
0,000-thirty years back pen
sion-will be her financial compensa-
tion for the heart-aches experienced
in the years which have elapsed since
baby fingers caressingly toyed with
locks of mothers tresses whose ma
rital craft at that time was sailing
upon calm sea.
There is a spring in Mrs. Roper's
step these days, and she is all smiles.
Her "Bluebird of Happiness appar-
emily has flown into her window. The
cheap calico dresses which have
graced the hooks in the little room
at the home of the aged, where Mrs.
Roper has made quilts. for the last
ten years, have been discarded. In
their stead several black silk ones,
with lace fringes around the collars
have appeared.
This woman, whose three score
years and ten have failed to percepti-
bly, halt her step or her vision, re-
ceived a letter from one of her sons
-Joseph-in which he expressed
himself as overjoyed, she said, to
learn that she was alive. He extended
her cordial invitation to come live
with him and his family. This Mrs.
Roper has planned to do. Her other
son, Charles, is married and has two
children.
A prominent local attorney, who
often visits the poor house and whose
philanthropic actions keep him con-
stantly in the limelight, received a
CHEEKY greeting from Mrs. Roper
when he visited her. This man had

men of Fulton county. 1t has been
upheld by an able, upright and i'm
partial judge. It has been upheld
by the supreme court of Georgia,
and. lastly, by the unanimous recon-
mendation of the three able and up

commission of Georgia, acting on a
board of pardons. To all of these
findings I must give weight. Moth

Guilt is still undisputed, and unde-

words should sink into the hearts OF
every prospective juror, every father

them. Let them be especially con-
sidered by those who are disposed

Shall the verdicts of juries and the
sentences of courts be upheld in

SONORA AND THE YAQUIS.
Wonderful State Where Much Wealth
AbOunds and Life is Cheap.

Just the mere headline 'Yaqui
chief may be governor of Sonora
sounds like a Chestertonian paradox
but then Sonora is state of the
sharpest contrasts" says bulletin
from the Washington, D. c., head
quarters of the National Geographic
Society.
"Imagine western Pennsylvania
with its farms and coal minesl and
gold and silver mines as we'll, with
unsubdued tribes of thieves and kill
ers whom the state police could not
Quell, dwelling in its mountains, with
one of these tribesmen running for
governor, and you have only par
tial comprehension of Mexico's Sec
ond largest state.
Unique in Mineral Wealth.
No other place on our continent is
comparable to Sonora in mineral
wealth. It's history discloses incidents
that would have startled Croesus and
Solomon. Indians picking up 900
pound nugget of pure silver and car
rying it away on platform slung be-
tween two mules. The owner of the
famous Quinteria mine who lined a
bridal chamber for his daughter with
bars of silver and laid pavement of
this chaste metal from her home to
the church. The widow who packed
her ingots on forty mules and set out
with the over-laden beasts to Mexico
City where she sought safety for her
wealth by depositing it with the Span
ish viceroy. The lady disappeared in
a manner officially unknown and her
fortune reverted to the state.
"In modern times episodes like
these were transformed by the magic
of scientific mining and. in the years
of Mexico's normally, Sonora's annual
output of minerals exceeded S50,00O,-
600.
"Kick Your Breakfast Off a Tree"
"And yet in some parts of Sonora
you can kick your breakfast off the
trees any morning in the year. Nm
like many mining regions Sonora also
comprises areas of marvellous fertili-
ty. Critics who hold that Americans
crossed the border at Nogales only to
take away buried treasure of gold, sill
yer, copper, iron, coal, and lead,
should visit the man-made Eden in
the Yaqui Valley where an American
company employed the wizardry of
irrigation to make thousands of acres
bear fruit and grain.
Before the days of Villa another
Yankee corporation had a cattle
ranch in Sonora which was sub-di-
vided into 200 pasture lands; and
overseers were equipped with auto
mobiles and maps that showed trails,
fences, roads, and pastures.

a woman dressed in silks and dia-
monds and furs.
Nevertheless, good manners are
often indicated by the kind of clothes
you wear. If you are trying to make
a place for yourself in this world
among the people who are well bred,
remember that if you choose becoming
clothes in quiet taste you will make
a better impression. Remember, too,
that it is of great Importance, when
you wish to make a good impression,
to have your clothes clean, well
pressed and well brushed. And care
full adjusting of their details-buttons
and fastenings of all sorts, cuffs and
collars, cravats and belts-be you man
or woman, helps to give the right
effect.
So it stands that though expensive
clothes do not necessarily help man
or woman in business or social life,
well chosen clothes carefully put on
and worn without self-consciousness
do help.

PRODUCTION OF SPRING PIGS
Average Cost of 100 Pounds of Mar
ketable Pork placed at $6.oa
by Department.
prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.

PREPARED by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The average cost Of producing 100
pounds Of marketable pork in sections
of Iowa and Illinois in 1921, was S6.0S,
according to a cost of production study
made by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture on 1914 spring
pigs producing $50, 40 pounds of mar
ketable pork.
This pork was produced when corn
was relatively cheap last year. The
survey shows that IS per cent of the
hogs returned between % cents and
rs cents per bushel of corn fed Costs
ranged from $3.76, in one drove, to
$1,000, in the drove showing the high
est, cost, IS per cent of the pork
showing a cost of ST or less per 100
pounds. An average profit of S1.28
per 100 pounds of marketable pork
is shown, or an average profit of $3.05
for each pig weaned.
The size of the filters, the relative
economies made in the use of feed
and labor, and the quantity of pork
produced per SOW were the three prin-
cipal cost factors. The entire herd
was used as a basis for cost finding,
all the expenses of the SOW being
divided among the pigs in her litter
The principal causes of high costs
were the small filters weaned, heavy
feed and labor expense, and slightly
lower gain per head. Tankage formed
an important part Of the rations Of
the economical pork.
The average cost of the total guam
tity of pork produced, or 882,758
pounds, which included 27,612 pounds
lost later through deaths, was 1888,
with range~of $3.76 on the farm
making the cheapest pork, to $10.48
on the farm showing highest costs.
Thirty-nine of the 81 farms upon
which cost figures We're kept showed
costs between 81 and 81.
The farm averaging the smallest
filters, or two pigs to the sow, made
473 pounds of pork per litter in 200
days. The farm making the highest
record made 1859 pounds of pork
per litter in 200 days from an average
of 7.27 pigs weaned per sow. Two
farms producing an average of eight
pigs per SOW produced 1910 pounds
