JENOUGE TO PUT A YOUNG
MAN TO THINKING.
W e reeieved a personal letter
in regard to some private matters
from a young man at Gaylesville,
Ala., last week and t contained
one sentence that should he made
public. This young man is work
ing for one of thosti large land
owners in Alabama. The sen
tence is this: “I worked prac
tically 75 acres, using three mules
to a two-row cultivator, and 1
made 1,800 bushels of corn, and
this has put me to thinking, why
°uld 1 not do something like
th\s, for myself.” This is enough
to put many of our farmers to
thinking. \Y e do not know what
we can do. \\ T e can make just as
much corn to tile man as any sec
tion, when we learn to use the
implements Western and North
ern farmers use. This young
tnan says he practically made
1,800 bushels of corn wth his
own hands. lie could have grown
75 acres of oat \ and made 3,600
bushels of oats the same year,
atnl with one hand to help and
the, proper tools lie could have
sowed 75 acres in peavine hay
and made 75 tons of hay. Thai
two men can grow 1.800 bushels
of corn, 3,600 bushels of oats and
75 tons of hay and do all of the
work, by using plenty of horse
power and labor-t ;av ng tools.
'1 bis should put some of you to
thinking and maybe the think
ing will cause some of you to
change your plans. Southern

SOCIALISTIC BASIS
Rebels Operate Every Industry
and Apply Proceeds to State.
El I’aso, Tex.—Socialism is getting a
practical tryout in Chihuahua, the
refugees say. The rebel state govern
meut is operating the hanks, the stores,
the foundry, the brewery, the mint, the
street car lines, all gambling conces
sions, the railroad to Juarez and every
other industry. Villa is preparing to
reopen the old Faloiuir bank as a state
hunk with the confiscated Terrazas es
tates as securities and will issue paper
money from the bank. All of the pro
ceeds from street railway lines are go
ing Into the state treasury.
Villa has ordered the Constitutional
ist government to execute deeds giving
the homes of the principal Huerta
sympathizers In the city of Chihuahua
to the rebel military commanders.
Villa has announced that he will give
the homes of Enrique Creel. Juan
Creel. Juan Terrazas. Luis Terrazas.
Jr., and Martin Ealomir to his gen
erals In the held and retain the home
of Manuel Prieto for Ills own use.
These homes were among those or
dered confiscated hy Villa, us well as
that of Jacob Tuche, who is a subject
of Turkey. Villa also distributed
clothing, shoes and candy from the
seized Spanish stores among the poor
of Chihuahua as a Christmas present
from the rebel leader.
A wireless tower is now ready In
Chihuahua for operation on the roof of
the cathedral, and a field wireless out
lit is to he supplied to the rebel army
so that communication may he estab
lished. with headquarters in Chihun
hua.
Rebel officials in Chihuahua claim to
have evidence that the federal gen
erals carried off much wealth when
they evacuated and .left for OJinaga.
They declare that the federal com
manders reported to the City of Mexi
co after all butties that none of their
men had been killed and continued t<>
draw pay for them all. They charge
that General Mercado bought $200,000
worth of diamonds in Chihuahua city
before leaving, as he could get them
at very low prices because of the own
ers' fear of losing them to rebel looters.

on the stone.
The diamond Is an amber stone, per
fectly clear and of undoubted value.

it on one pretext or another.

Farmers’ Five Weeks' Wer.
Findlay, O—A five weeks’ rat hunt
in Union township ended when the 213
men and boys engaged in the contest
produced 10,336 rat tails, which were
counted by judges. The losers in the
contest gave n dinner for the winners.
One of the most remarkable figures
in the slaughter was a small rat terrier
owned by J. M. Hartman. More than
2,000 tails were taken from rodents
killed by the terrier, which made a
record of thirty rats In one shack of
corn.
Another township hunt is on. and it

contests has ended 50.000 rats will
have been killed in Hancock county.
