FOB FABERS Secretary of the Interior Has Begun Long Battle on Land Grabbers. VAST TRACTS ARE INVOLVED Ninety-five Per Cent of Territory Held by Speculators, Who Charge Excessive Rates. ST. LOUIS, Auk. 9.—.Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane has started a little war on the land grab bers west of the MisFissippi Rive 1 * He has taken up the cudgels >f the farmer and the homesteader in the great West His efforts In this direction materially effect the pocket- book of every man, women and chll 1. Incidentally, he Is “bucking” the land speculator. These land “grab bers” have quietly been acquiring vast tracts of land in the West on which the people of the United States have spent over $75,000,000 in irriga tion projects. The homesteader has either been ousted through excessive water rate charges or becomes a ten ant of the land companies. Speculators Hold Land. Secretary Lane finds that the projects were planned for the pur pose of aiding the small farmer in tilling his ground, but that in reality 95 per cent of the land is held by •peculators, w'ho are (harping exces sive rates for water which has been sluiced to the land by the Govern ment. The other 5 per rent of the acre age is own*d by the small farmer, but even Government water rates art. held by Mr. Lane to be excessive!v high. Building notes for dam can il and sluice ways add to the cost .f upkeep of the farm and conditions, Westerners say, are becoming intoler able. By going into the question from the very first day that he entered his office, Mr. Lane has become inti mately acquainted with conditions obtaining in the West. Daily con ferences have been had with deleg i tions from the West Even the land speculator had his day in court, and bis contentions and views were plac'd before the Secretary . Farmer Needs Help. In this connection Mr. Lane an nounced: “I am for the farmer, first, last and at all times. Naturally han dicapped by lack of sufficient funds to carry on expensive fanning under the conditions that obtain in the West, the farmer must receive sup port and co-operation from the Gov ernment, if the great West is to be settled and made to be as produc tive as the East. "Expensive water will ruin the small farmers and ranchmen. They must have cheap rates and long-time notes, the Government must ba-k them up an extend them credit, helping them over the rough places if necessary, if the various projects designed to benefit the whole reopl • are to accomplish the purposes for which they were constructed "Why should this Government •pend $75,000. (l 1 for the benefit of private capital? Why should the Gov ernment adopt a hard and fast policy, such as has existed in the past, whl h has kept the small f irmer from going Into the new regions and taking up Government land? Isn't it time f >r the United States to extend to t In * Westerners a little paternal patience, e little more consideration, a helping hand?” KANSAS SHERIFF RETALIATES FOR HIS ARREST ON SUNDAY HUTCHINSON, KANS..

WICHITA, KANS., Aug. 9—A Wichita merchant has found a new use for the parcel post. This merchant is in a line of business where he carries a large number of small accounts, which the debtors frequently overlook. When the C. O. D. feature of the par cel post went into effect July 1, the merchant hit upon the idea of using it to collect his small debts. A large num ber of small boxes were obtained. These were filled with waste paper and on top was placed a receipted bill. Each box was neatly wrapped and tied and ad- Iressed A 5-cent stamp was required to carry each box and the C. O. D. fee was 10 <ents on each package. The next day the returns began to come in, and in nearly every case the debtor paid the amount, supposing that somebody had sent something of value. 2,000 Bees Stampede Crowd at Ferry Slip Hives Fall From Boxes and Enraged Insects at Once Charge on Commuters. Portland People Believe She Has Settled in Quiet Town to Start Divorce Suit. PORTLAND, ME.. Aug 9.—From the gay life of a popular society woman, a leader In the smartest af fairs of New York, Newport and Bar Harbor to pursue an existence in a quiet city, is a change Just made by the dashing Mrs. Ulaivnce H. Mackay, the former Kitty Duer. "Why do you suppose she’s here?” all Portland is asking. What can she do with herself all day long, for she is never seen out, «ive to take a drive, and then always wearing a heavy white veil. Is she here to secure a divorce and will she live that dreary life for one whole year—that's how the gossip runs PerhapM she’s writing another book. She did write one once, "The Crystal Ball.” But while the world conjec tures, Mrs. Mackay denies herself to all. Divorce is without doubt her idea in burying herself here, where she has been ever since her millionaire hus band sailed for Europe with their three children. Mrs Mackay Is occupying the home of a<iami P. Leighton on Western Promenade, a cottage in comparison with the mansion** she has been used to occupying. It was on June 25 that Mr. Mackay sailed for Europe on the Imperator. taking his children on board from New Jersey, where they had been in his control for several days. He went abroad with never a word to the wife and mother. So mysterious was the departure that it attracted wide attention. They boarded the ship at night; a detec tive squad was serving to protect the children from any attempt to prevent their departure and the father regis tered under an asMumed name. The. children, who are no doubt longing for their mother as she is longing for them, are still abroad and it is said they will be there for months NEW SECURITIES LISTED.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 9.—Two thou sand busy little bees raised much tur moil and excitement at the Market street ferry this afternoon. A large packing box containing two hives with '.1700 bees was being shipped to Pauls- boro. V. .1. When the drayman reached the ferry house the box slipped off and fell to the street and burst open. The enraged bees at once mixed with a crowd of 4,000 commuters and then action began, ideutenant Buehler on a spirited horse rode into the fray. His steed was stung and tried to stampede into the crowd. . Finally the crate was pulled on the ferryboat Camden and when she left her !p the 2.000 bees flew after it. making ’ife uncomfortable for everybody on the boat. BOSTON, Aug. 9.—"Now, brethren, watch night and day, for ye know hot when the end of the world draws nigh. It may be tomorrow; at least it will come before the year 1920. It is prob ably much nearer than that," says Brother Lucien I. Pingree. With long flowing beard that has never been profaned by scissors and with silken locks which also have never been clipped, this resident of Stoneham thus warns all those who would bd ready when the First Resurrection occurs. "It is coming soon—very soon—very soon,” ho asserts. Brother Pingree and his band of adherents ail are sure of it. The end of the world is close at hand, they all say. For this reason the Flying Rollers are launclng a great religious cru sade which they hope will awaken men and women t*"* a knowledge of their evil ways and will prepare them for the near-at-hand millennium. Keep on Living. If you are one of the elect and alive when this auspicious day comes Mr. Pingree says that you will never die. Your body will take on eternal life and though you will be otherwise pos sessed of man’s normal anatomy and will go right on through million of years living in the mortal mold. Brother Pingree, who is agent and teacher of the Flying Roller faith in this vicinity, lives at No. 1 Forrest street, Stoneham. His church until recently has been at No. 117 Hancock street, Evereti. Now the Flying Rol lers are to pitch their tent in Malden and launch a propaganda which aim* to halt the world in its mad round of pleasure, barber shops and picture galleries. It Is not such a hardship for the women to belong to the Flying Roller/* church, but the men have troubles of their own. Their discipline forbids anyone to have his hair cut or to en joy the pleasure of lying back in a tonsorial chair while the artist with | the razor does the rest. Males Never Cu+ Hair. The male brethren never have the ; corners of their hair or of their flow ing beards rounded. “Thou shalt not,” i says the church discipline. Then there is the ceremony of the washing »f feet, which takes place on certain oc casions, when elders and elderesses lave each other’s pedal extremities and thus conform to other Biblicii Injunctions. The Flying Roll is a book written by the great Rolle** prophet, Jezreel mentioned in the Scriptures as “to come on earth.” He came and was here in 1875, wrote the Roll and died about twenty years ago. Since then the Flving Rollers have read his text with scrupulous care and followed closely in his teaching*. The Flying Rollers believe in the law and gospel. That is, they fol low literally the teachings of the Bi ble. A man who is faithful to the end will live forever. The Bible says that j and the Rollers take it literally. 144,000 in the Elect. Of all the people alive, 144.000 (mentioned in Revelations, Chapter I 14) shall be the elect who are to live l during the thousand years when ! Christ is again to be on earth (during the First Resurrection). Then this j chosen 144,000 shall enjoy Heaven still with their earthly bodies while | the rest of humanity that was. shall I minister to them as “ministering splr- l its.” "The world of wickedness will soon ! cease. A new world will appear as j soon as Christ comes, which will ba I very soon (I can not give the exact I date, but it will be before 1920, there j is no doubt about that),” says Pas- I tor Pingree. "In that wfirld there will be no longer this struggle for j life. Wonderful fruits and flowe-s j will grow everywhei along the road side*—fruits and flowers more won- Here Are the Tenets of the Flying Rollers Thou shalt not shave. Thou shalt not cut thy hair. Thou shalt not have thy picture taken. Be faithful and thou shalt join the 144,000 true believers who will live forever. Remember that the millenium will be here—probably in a year or so. Thou shalt not tattoo thy arms. The prophet is James J. Jezreel. Follow his teachings. Feet washing among the breth ren and sisters is practiced faith fully as the Bible and extracts from the "Flying Roll dictate. Prepare for the first resurrection which is comino -con. U. S, EDUCATION EXPERT SAYS ILLITERACY GROWS BOULDER COLO., Aug. 9.—That in only two States of the Union has the ideal democracy in education been even approximated; that every year in the United States almost 70,000 illiterates are sent out into the world to make their way; that there are in the country to-day fi.015,000 persons over the age of ten who can neither read not write and that almpst 50 per cent of the rural teachers of the country have not had a high school education, were among the startling statements made by United States Commissioner of Education Claxton in an address on "Democracy and Education.” View From South Walk of Cox College, College Park, GaJ derful than we get from hothouses now. Then the earth will be Heaven for a thousand years. "We believe that those who are faithful to the teachings of our relig ion will share that thousand years with Christ, wearing their mortal j bodies, then clothed in immortality. "It is no hardship not to cut your hair or trim your beard.” says Mr. Pingree. “We tie it up and tuck it u, and by not cutting it or rounding the corners in any way, we are obeying the letter of divine ’aw.” Use of Fireproofed Cotton Goods Urged State Fire Marshal 1 Says Stores in Kansas Sell No Other Kind. TOPEKA, Aug. 9.—Harrison Park- man, State Fire Marshal, believes that stores ought to sell only fire proof cotton goods. In the new State fire textbook the Fire Marshal is urging that every Kansas man and woman refuse to buy any but fireproof cotton goods and that they adopt the German method and fireproof all cotton ma terials. The Fire Marshal believes that this action would decrease the number of deaths by fire in Kansas fully 50 per cent and it would make a big decrease in the number of fires in the homes of the State. WOMEN BUY LAND ONE- THIRD CHEAPER THAN MEN KANSAS CITY, Aug. 9.—After hearing from women of the Council of Clubs the Finance Committee of the upper house of the Council has killed the ordinance to advance $1,000 of the $12,000 set apart for the pur pose of making a start on the con templated women's reformatory at Leeds. It developed that the $1,000 had been asked by the Board of Public Welfare as a first payment on thir teen acres of ground it proposed to buy at Leeds at $500 an acre. The women made fun of the busi ness abilities of the Welfare Board, and said that they had already se cured an option on 98 acres close by the thirteen at $171 an acre. It is indeed a source of pleasure to the young ladies to tour over the beautiful, picturesque bitulitliic roads of Fultou County, and a source of education for them to see the model farms, poultry plants, factories and industries of many kinds. All summer long the workmen have been busy, renovating and re modeling the building from bottom to top and the work on the campus has aided much to its neat and at tractive appearance. The registration for the coming session is larger at this season than for many years. It is estimated that before school opens, rooms will be at a premium. To keep well abreast of the times, Cox College has added some splendid teachers to its already strong facul ty in both literary and conservatory departments.
