Lane has started a little war on the land grub bers went of the Mississippi Rive He ha* taken up' the farmer and the homesteader In the great West His efforts in this direction materially effect the pocket- book of every man, w omen and < hil 1. Incidentally, he is “bucking" the land speculator. These land “grab bers" have cjuleth been acquiring Vast tracts of land in the West on which the people of the United States have spent over $7'-,000,000 in irriga tion projects. The homesteader has either been ousted through excessiv" 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 speculators, who are charging exces sive rates for water which has been sluiced to the land by the Govern ment. The other f» per cent of the acre age Is owned by the small farmer, but even Government water rates arc held by Mr. Lane to be excessively high. Building notes for dam canal and sluice ways add to the cost f upkeep of the farm and conditions, Westerners say, aro becoming intoler able. By going into the question front the very first day that he entered 111* office, Mr. Lane has become in’i mately acquainted with conditions obtaining in the West. Daily con ferences have been had with deleg 1 tions from the West. Even the land speculator had his day in court, and his contentions and views were placed before the Secretary . Farmer Needs Help. In thl-s connection Mr. Lane an nounced: “I am for the fanner, first, last and at all times. Naturally han dicapped by lack of sufficient funds to carry on expensive farming under the conditions that obtain in th * West, the farmer must receive sup port and co-operation from the Gov ernment. If the great West is to !)■• settled and made to be as produc tive as the East. "Expensive water will ruin the email farmers and ranchmen. They must have cheap rates and long-tim*’ notes, the Government must back them up an extend them credit, helping them over the rough place* if necessary, if the various projects designed to benefit the whole peopl’ are to accomplish the purposes f »r which they were constructed. "Why should this Government spend $75,000 " for the benefit of private capital? Why should the Gov ernment adopt a hard and fast policy, such as has existed in the past, whi'h has kept the small farmer from going into the new regions and taking up Government land? Isn't It time for the United States to extend to th*- Westerners a little paternal patience, a little more consideration, a helping hand ?" 1 .11.1,,.— .1 * f 1 , ' ', 1, t i n it , , .t should not a civilised man be as bappy as a native of Tahiti?

Portland People Relieve 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. Clan nee II. 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. save 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. Perhaps 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 sided for Europe with their three children. Mrs Mackay is occupying the home of Adam 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, whe 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 th-- children from any attempt to prevent their departure and the father regis tered under an assumed 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.

This merchant is in a line of business where he carries a large number of smaJl accounts, which the debtors frequently overlook. When the C. O. D. feature of the par cel post went into effect July 1, the nerchant hit upon the idea of using it to collect his small debts. A large num ber of small boxes were obtained. These were tilled 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. I), fee was 10 cents 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. BOSTON, Aug. 9.—"Now, brethren, watch night and day, for ye know not 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 be ready when the First Resurrection occurs. “It is coming soon—very soon—very soon," he asserts. Brother Pingree and his band of adherents all are sure of it. The end of the world is close at hand, they all say. For this reason the Flying Rollers are launcing a great religious cru sade which they hope will awaken men and women t’l 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 b«en at No. 117 Hancock street. Everett. Now’ the Flying Rol lers are to pitch their tent in Malden and launch a propaganda which aims 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 tonsorinl 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," says the church discipline. Then the*v is the ceremony of the washing of feet, w hich takes place on certain oc casions, w’hen 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 Roll**’* 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 Firing Rollers have read his text with scrupulous care and followed closely in his teachings. The Flying Rollers believe in the law’ and gospel. That is. they fol low literally the teachings of the Bi- blo. A man who is faithful to the end will live forever. The Bible says that, and the Rollers take it literally. 144,000 in the Elect.

Use of Fireproofed Cotton Goods Urged State Fire Marshal Says Stores Kansas Sell No Other Kind. I •"' ' . W' } 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 wouM 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 Deeds. * 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 Deeds at $600 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 96 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 bitulithic roads of Fulton 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 added 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 splehdid teachers to its already strong facul ty in both literary and conservatory departments.
