Ho has worked for tho big sugar companies for years. During that time ho received tho least possible pay tho companies could give him and his follow workers. Ho did not receive this pay In money, but in orders on tho company's storo for tho slmplo food' he ate and tho cloth to make the clothes that partly cover his body. For six months of tho year ho worked hard and for tho other six months ho was forced to sit back and starve while he waited for another crop of tho sugar cane so that ho could get busy in tho fields. Ills condition was tho condition of tho peons generally. "Zapatlsm Is an Idea tho peons think worth fighting for. They will not to content until they can get somo of tho land for their own. If Carranza does as ho promises and I am certain ho will do so the poasants will get land for their own. If ho does not carry out tho needed reforms and do It promptly ho will bo forced to fight Zapata and tho Zapatlsts. "These men havo been fighting for years. They fought Diaz, they fought iladero and thoy fought Huerta." MURRAY'S FLEA "Where do members of congress who come to Washington without their families spend their time at night?" This question was discussed In tho house tho other day by Alfalfa Bill Murray of Oklahoma In connec tion with the mileago provision of tho conference report on tho legisla tive bill. Alfalfa Bill Insisted that It was tho duty of nil members to bring their families t6 Washington with them, and he Insisted that that was why it was desirable to make a liber al allowanco for mileage. Tho Oklahoma statesman declared that in tht absence of a man's family time was likely to hang heavily on his hands and he would do more roaming around at night than was good for hira. Alfalfa Bill wanted all members to havo their families with thorn constantly throughout the sessions in order that they might not .grow lonesome. "Abraham Lincoln. Daniel Web ster, James A. Garfield, William J. Bryan and others all took this allowance when thoy wero In tho house, and who would dare accuso any of them of fcelng grafters," said Mr. Murray. The house rocked with applause as Alfalfa 33111 concluded with this statement, "I believe in voting for mileage and tak ing it." f DOCTOR JORDAN BiiKpWwi "' "' -A mend sex hyglono in tho schools, but recommended that "institutions prepar ing teachers givo attention to Euch subjects as would qualify for Instruction in tho particular field of sex hygleno." MRS. LONGWORTH'S Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, former ly Alice Roosevelt, made a Uttlo "break" at a smart dinner party In London the other night which ha3 been tho talk of the drawlug rooms there over since. Sir Edwnrd Carson, tho "un crowned king of Ulstor." Is ono of tho lions of thj season. Ho has boin much annoyed for some time by per sistent statements that ho will shortly marry n nleco of Moreton Frowen, tho well-known writer on political econ omy. This matter has never been mentioned in tho presence of Sir Ed ward, but Mrs. Longworth cheerfully .and In a loud voice asked him at tho dinner: "When's tho wedding going to bo?" "There Is not going to bo any wedding," replied Sir Edward curtly and coldly. ltoswell Eldrldgo of Now York, who Is over thero to buy horses and ,..

Emlllnno Zapata Is the lender of tlio constitutionalist forces In Routhi em Mexico. In describing this' man,' Francisco Urquldl, ti constitutionalist ngent, the other day said: VZapata Is a peon of Morelo3. Ho comes from a state lu which the land Is held in fco simple by less than two dozen landlords. Ho worked out In tho fields with follow peons. Ho la an uneducated man, becauso ho hnd no opportunity to pot learning. Ho can read and write, but ho learned to do thoso after ho was twonty-ono years old. Ho Is now thlrty-olght years old and Is a wiry, sllm-bullt man slightly under six feet in height Ho Is a half-breed, but tho Indian blood docs not show as strong In him as it does in many of his followers. Ho Is light-complexloned, energetic, and Is a droamer In that ho sees things as thoy might bo and Is not contented with them as they arc FOR MILEAGE HEADS EDUCATORS Dr. David Starr Jordan of Cali fornia, ono of tho most prominent of present-day educators, was unani mously elected president of the Na tional Education association at tho St. Paul convention. No other candi date was mentioned. Tho resolutions committee en dorsed woman's suffrage, equal pay for equal work without regard to sex, simplified spoiling, social centers, larger playgrounds, increased salaries for teachers, pensions for teachers and the settlement of international differences by arbitration. President Wilson's "watchful waiting" policy was approved. Physical Inspection of children for health purposes secured endorse ment A plan for a national univer sity was favored and it was recom mended that congress approprlato an nually $500,000 for use In Improving educational conditions.

A lousy hen i3 unprofitable. Pigs must bo watched for Uco. Every pig raiser should havo a patch of rnpo. Don't let tho woods got a start. Oct tho start of tho weeds. s Young pigs never havo thumps when running In pasture. For quick results In improving tho soil sweet clover is superior to most other crops. If tho cream Is still wnrm after separating, don't put tho lid on tho can down tight. Do not condemn a breed simply be causo a few fowls do not como up to J your expectations. To brood over things that cannot bo helped is worso than a sotting hen trying to hatch stones. Tho physical condition of tho soil if oftGn Just as important as tho sup ply of availablo plantfood. Take off tho harness, collar and nil, when the horso comes In to feed. Ho will rest hotter without It. Pigs llko variety, and make much moro satisfactory and profltablo growth when this fact Is kept In mind. Never very suddenly chango tho young calf from whole to skim-milk. Taper It off gradually for at least a week. If tho sow eats her young, she will stop It Immediately If sho is fed salt pork. A small'qunntlty Is usually suf ficient. It takes timo to build up a profitable poultry DU3lness. It Is necessary to work hard now to havo a fine flock next eeason. Hogs should always havo a yard of their own away from tho other stock, for it is always found that returns are better in tho end. Sweet clover is adapted to a wido rango of soils, and whllo it does best on good soils it will mako a satisfac tory growth on vory poor soils. When watering do It thoroughly. Don't spread a Uttlo water ovor a great surface. lie sure to break tho crust which forms after wateilng. Coarse, mascullno looking pullets never mako the best layers. Select thoso whoBo heads havo a distinctly femlnlno appearance and expression. Don't let your tools Ho out In tho weather to rot and rust. Rust and tho effectB of tho weather will do moro damago to tools than proper usage will do. The farmer who-planted tested seed is likely to bo the man of whom his noighbors will say this fall: "He's al ways a lucky fellow. Look at tho crop he's got." For vigorous plant growth the ground muBt bo well filled with hu mus; this Is. supplied by stable ma nure or thick grass and clover sod plowed under. Tho timo when grasshoppers can bo most successfully destroyed Is In tho ogg, or as young larvao. which Is best dono by plowing and harrowing tho llelds early in tho fall. There was never nny butter that was finer than that mado by tho old time farmer's wife. If farm butter making Is In dangor of becoming a lost art it Is high time that steps wero taken to prevent It. Tho usefulness and value of a horso depend upon his early training. Ho should bo handled and taught when a colt. This will develop his Intelligence from the start and very much Increase his subsequent usefulness. To socuro the best returns 'from sheep raising It la not necessary to keep them exclusive of nil other llvo stock, but a small flock, Just what can conveniently bo accommodated along with other fnim animals nnd given tho best of care. Hens demand somo mineral matter to form tho shell of their oggs. Do not forgot tho oyster shell and tho hard, sharp grit. Those will furnish matorlul for tho formation of tho egg's shell nnd at tho same timo will keop tho luwls In a healthy condition. It lJ( I n jmiiMTi Ao v 4 sSVj"l"-44(23 Keep tho hoe sharp. Don't overwork tho colts. Provldo shade for tho cow. Tighten up tho wlro fencos. Egg-catlng Is a bad and costly habit. Dontroy tho weeds boforo thoy go to seed The boar needs good food nnd plonty of exerclso. Kill tho woods today or thero will bo moro tomorrow. Keop a watchful oyo on tho colt. You cannot afford to neglect It. A Uttlo oil meal fed twlco n week with bran will prevent indigestion in sheep. . A good way to food shelled corn to fattening pigs Is to soak It In water In tho troughs. Cull out tho old nnd unprofitable owes and begin to put them in n mar ketable condition. Separato tho cockerels from tho pul lets, and givo tho formor somo extra feeding; thoy can stand It. Plant sunflowers along tho edges of the poultry yards for shado In ouramor and feed in fall nnd winter. Somo tell tho sex of tho guinea fowl by Its wattles. Thoso of tho inalo aro doublo tho size of tho female. t Sail Is vory essential with either tho grown Bheop or lambs, and must bo kept beforo them constantly. To keop tho poultry house free from lice Is of Just as much Importnnco as to breed chickens for eggs or broilers. By planting threo plantings of sweet corn this month, ten days apart, plenty or corn will bo provided for tho tablo. To mako tho pigs grow, sklm-mllk, mill feed nnd clover or alfalfa pnBturo aro what Is needed. Feed vory Uttlo corn. Tho largest yields aro produced when rotted sod or animal manuro aro used In connection with a good fer tilizer. After tho asparagus season Is past removo tho weeds, otlr tho soil and givo the bed a coating of well-rotted manure. A swift gait In wnlklng 13 acquired best by tho team when It Is being broken. Early habits becomo perma nent inclinations. Watch for red rust in tho blackberry and tho blnckcap patch. Dig out and burn infested plants at onco, or tho dlsenso will spread. It Is a good thing to givo the hens sklm-mllk to drink, when It can bo had. It acts as a substitute for meat, and helps egg production. Every breeder of hogs should rec ognlzo tho largo part which tho drink ing water exercises In tho spread of hog cholera and swlno pluguo. It Is a good plan to shako tho treo gently when you aro pncklng tho dirt around tho roots. If air spaces aro left tho trees will not do well. So long ns there Is any pasturago geeso require no feeding. Thoy will como homo overy night satisfied and happy, literally full to tholr beaks. Ono of the chief objects of a cover crop In an prchnrd is to assist in con trolling the molsturo content of tlio soil during lato summer and early fall. Tho agitation for laws protecting sheep from dogs Is getting brondly scattered. From coast tp coast tho ono drawback to sheep raising Is tho dog. Arsonato of load is also death to tho booties that lnjuro asparagus and In fact may be used to advantago for nearly all crawling things In tho garden. A successful swlno breeder needs to havo a thorough knowlodgo of tho value of sanitation, also an intimnfo knowledge of all tho requirements of his animals. It is nocesanry to slash nway at your trees overy year. Pruno Just enough to keep them in shapo nnd prevent usoloss sproutn from snpplng tho treo'B strength. It you aro thinking of trying nlfalfa. start with a small field, say two or throe acres. If your experiment falls, tho loss will not bo so groat, but al falfa will grow In almost any cllmato If It Is handled right. Of course, ou will spray your troes at least once, nnd porhaps twlco this spring, but how about your neighbor who sprays not at nil? How can you I protect yourself ugalnst tho pests that aro driven from his orchard Into yours? ( Milk which becomes stringy, slimy or ropy nftor standing a few hours, is not duo to tho cow's condition, but is caused by a largo numbor of bacto rla which develop In tho milk and chango tho milk sugar Into a slimy or ropy mass. ONE of tho handsomest of tho many beautiful lingerie blouses which havo added so much to tho beauty of apparel this summer, is very clearly pictured horo. It Is mado of flno or gandy and depends for Its effective ness upon tho fineness of tho fabric and tho faultlessncss of tho work as well as upon a flno cholco of laco and ombroldory used In decorating. Tho upper part of tho blouso Is cut In kimono fashion from n piece of tho organdy tucked In squares, in tucks an eighth of an Inch wldo. A panel Is sot in at tho back and front of tho plain organdy. Cluny lace edging or somo othor equally good laco, Is used In setting In these panels Tho lower part of tho blouso back and front Is of tho plain fabric. Tho sleeves aro finished with a band of tho plain organdy to which a not frill Is attached by a lino lino of hemstitching. Whenever tho plain orgnndy Is used n daUity design in hand embroid A Bit of Finery NOT all tho dresses mado for Uttlo girls aro long walsted. Thoso de signed for dress-up occasions, tho lato afternoon promenade, or the Uttlo lady's appcarnnco at tho 'dinner ta ble, aro often mado of foulard or oth er light weight silk, nnd along tho Hues pictured hero Thoy aro not qulto so faultlessly adapted to tho childish llg uro as the longer walsted models, but thoy afford variety and look well on tho too slendor bodies of fast-growing children At this stngo ("tho awkward ago" It Is pitilessly called) tho mother Is put to hor wits' end to clothe her Uttlo maid attractively. It Is ruinous to allow tho child to becomo conscious that sho Is not as graceful as sho will bo later on. Lot her olthor bo uncon scious of hor clothes or mado to feel that sho looks particularly woll In any ono of hor new drosses, and this will help hor immensely In carrying her self well. This slmplo Uttlo dress of ring-dot foulard Is In mauve color with a whlto dot. Tho wldo taffota collar Is In plain mauvo and Is finished at tho front vylth a Uttlo cravat bow of tho foulard Thero Is no attempt nt dec oration In this model Tho threo half- ery adorns It. Tho collar Is finished with small embroidered scallops and tho flower design, appearing on tho waist olsowhore, in repeated here. Tho collar is wired with tho HucBt of wlro to support It at tho back. A waist cut on somewhat similar linos and mudo of figured vollo is shown in tho second picture In thla. model nil scams are Joined with a pip ing of cord covered with tho matorial. Thero 1b n vost of plain whlto not and a collar of not and lace. Poarl but tons fnston tho vest and small bows of satin, matching tho flower in tho voile, add a pretty color no to and a smnrt finish. S Both thoso models aro finished at tho waist lino with a narrow belt which seta under the eklrt. Thero is very little work on tho blouse of voile but the daintiness of tho fabric, show Ing lavender flowers on a whlto ground and tho fineness of tho plain net lu vest nnd collar, produco an effect of oleganco almost equal to that in thq elaborate blouso of organdy. for the Small Lady Inch hnnd-ruu tucks aboro the hum aro put thoro for tho purpose of lengthening tho skirt when necessary. Tho skirt Is longor than it appears in tho plcturo, measuring about a third longer than tho waist, when length of waist Ib monsurod from tho shoulder, and tho skirt from waist lino to hem. Tho skirt is laid in small box-plaits at tho top and bottom and sot on to tho waist with a narrow, plnlted frill, Btnndlng up. Tho wldo, black velvet bolt Is a now Item In stylo for Uttlo glrlB. It drops below tho waist lino at tho loft sldo nnd Is finished with a flat' bow without ends. A Uttlo dross In averngo good qual ity In foulard will stand consider able wear, and In staplo colors will bear caroful washing. Considering tho ploasuro which Uttlo girls manago to get out of silk for wear upon their slmplo "state occasions," tho averngo mother Is inclined to lndulgo thorn in thin bit of finery. But Uttlo misses, uddlng six or moro Inches to their height in a yoar, require planning by the mother, lost thoy grow out ot their most treasured clothes long be foro thoy have worn thorn out.
