Infanta Eulalie Quarrels With
Nephew Alfonso
Princess Who Was Conspicuous In
America During the Chicago Worlds
Fair Is Again in the
Limelight
Chicago Americans who are old
enough to remember distinctly the Co
lumbian exposition of eighteen years
ago in this city will recall the coming
of Infanta Eulalie of Spain as a guest
of the nation At that time she was
about thirty years old and she cre
ated a sensation here by snubbing the
leaders of American society most roy
ally In Chicago she refused the hos
pitality of Mrs PotterPalmer on the
ground that she could not be the guest
of an innkeeper Frequently since
then Eulalie has figured in the inter
national dispatches in a more or less
sensational way She is a woman of
independent spirit and thinks no more
of defying court etiquette than of
snubbing American women
Alfonso the youthful king of Spain
who is her nephew has found Iier far
from complaisant when he has issued
his orders and she has never hesitat
ed to criticize him openly He object
ed strenuously when she divorced her
husband in France a thing illegal in
Spain she called him an ingratewhen
he did not reward her son for fighting
in Africa and for some time she has
preferred to live in Paris
Recently she published a book in
which she justifies divorce as a natu
ral support to morality under certain
circumstances and when Alfonso

Children Reared by Mother
and Sent to School
Chicago The new Illinois state law
pensioning deserving poor mothers
rth families recently became opera

most of them widows and the sole
support of that many broods of chil
dren received checks for amounts
ranging from 18 to 120
The pension act allows 3 to 10
a month for each child Nearly all
the mothers were tearfully grateful
The pension allows them to keep the

lor the suppression of the book Then
Eulalie exercised her womans pre
rogative and talked back expressing
horself in no uncertain terms She
defies her kisrjly nephew and says she
will sell isr Spanish estates give up
her lace at court and live as she
rltass in Paris At the same timo
the bids Alfonso a curt farewell
Of course all European royalty is
scandalized and in circles which aro
net royal expectations are nursed that
before long Eulalie now that she has
kicked over the traces will be doing
things to keep the sensational press
busy
Alfonso had trouble enough trying
to govern his somewhat rebellious
cubjects He might have known bet
ter than to try to boss a woman

GROWING CHOPS IN
WESTERN NEBRASKA
methods of Farming for Or
Land Discussed
The Nebraska experiment statioL
has just issued bulletin No IIS on
Growing Crops in Western Nebras
ka This bulletin gives the result
of crop production at the North Platte
substation dining the past seven
years together with the lecoid of
precipitation at North Platte for the
past 30 years and a discussion oi
methods of farming for dry land
Considerable space is given to show
ing the results secured by summer till
ng land The yield of winter wheat
has been doubled by this method of
preparing the seed bed The average
yield of plats properly prepared and
seeded has been 40 bushels per acre
during the past five years The yield
from these plats in 1910 when the pre
cipitation for the year was only 107
inches was 33 to 37 bushels per acre
Summer tilling sod and old land for
winter wheat is strongly advocated
The records show that summer tilling
also increased the yields of spring
The deserving mothers and children grains but not to so great an extent
are investigated by officials of tho j as the winter wheat Whether sum
juvenile court When the home J mer tilling for spring grains is profit
ences are found to be good and the able is still an open question though
mothers deserving the money is paid It should prove the most profitable
to the mother Before the law was practice during years like 1910
passed the motners who lound It lm
possible to support their children
turned them over to the juvenile
court and that Institution placed them
in other homes for the support of
each child the county paid ten dollars
a month in the new homes The pen
sion law authorized the county to
leave tho children with the parent
and pay them the ten dollars a month
for each child
A Boys Miraculous Escape
Grand Junction Colo At the risk
of his own life an unidentified tramp
saved Willie Stevens twelve years
old fromdeath The boy on his way
to school jumped upon a moving
freight train He slipped and fell un
der a car Thetramp who was riding
on the rods beneath grabbed him and
lield him from the ground until the
train stopped The boys leg was
fractured and two of his fingers were
smashed beneath the wheels
The tests show that the press drill
increases the yield of grain so much
beyond the yields secured by sowing
broadcast that the farmer can not af
ford to sow grain broadcast as the
difference in the yield on a rathei
small field will pay for the drill
The variety tests indicate that the
following are superior to or as good
as any other varieties tried Turke
Red winter wheat Durum spring
wheat Kherson oats common 6 rowed
barley and Substation corn
