LANE TAKES IIP Finds Honeymoon Land, Then the Man FOR FARMERS 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 Mississippi Hive He has taken up the cudgels »f' the farmer and the homestead* r in the great West. His efforts in this direction materially effect the pocket- book of every man, women and ehil 1. Incidentally, he is “bucking' the land speculator. These land “grab bers" have quietly been acquiring vast tracts of land in the West n which the people of the United States have spent over $75,000,000 1n 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 speculators, who are charging exces sive rates for water which has been sluiced to the land by the Govern ment, The o^her 5 per cent of the acre age Is owned by the small farmer, but even Government water rates arc 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 becom<- in’l- 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 his contentions and views were placxl 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 farming under the conditions that obtain in the West, the farmer must receive sup port and co-operation fr«»m 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 th rt small farmers and ranchmen. They must have cheap rates and long-tlm" notes, the Government must back them up an extend them credit, helping them over the rough plat e,? If necessary, if the various projects designed to benefit the whole peopl • are to accomplish the purposes for which they were constructed. “Why should this Government spend $75,000.0<" for tht benefit of private capital? Why should the Gov ernment adopt a hard and fast policy, such as has existed tn 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 the Westerners a little paternal patience, a little more consideration, a helping hand ?” KANSAS SHERIFF RETALIATES FOR HIS ARREST ON SUNDAY HUTCHINSON, KANS., An*. 9.

Will give my business to the one 1 wed, that she may know I am a square man and will do right.” The following notice was inclosed, with the request that the official post it in a conspicuous place: “Temperate gentleman would be pleased to form the acquaintance of ladies matrimonially inclined.

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. Clarence H. Mackay, the former Kitty Duer. "Why do you suppose she’s here?” all Portland is asking. What can she do with herself ail day long, for she is never veen out. pave 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 sailed 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 mansions 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. JSo 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.

Collects Slow Debts By Parcel PostC.O.D. Merchant Strikes Novel Plan to Real ize On a Number of Old Accounts. 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- lressed A 5-cent stamp was required to carry each box and the C. O. T). 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. Get Ready for End of the World Flying Rollers Expect It Soon So Members of This Queer Cult Await With Uncut Hair and Much Footwashing. 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 tO.lTOO ores was being shipped to I'auls- boro, V. J. When the drayman reached the ferryhouse 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. Lieutenant 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 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 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. Plngree. 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 w’arns all those who would ba ready when the First Resurrection occurs. "It is coming soon—very soon—very soon,” he asserts. Brother Plngree and his band of adherents all are sure of it. The end of the w’orld Is close at hand, they all say. For this reason the Flying Rollers are launcing a great religious cru sade which they hope will aw’akeri 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 w’ill 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 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 Rollers 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 I the razor does the rest. Males Never Cut Hair. The male brethren never have the ; corners of their hair or of their flow- l ing beards rounded. “Thou shalt no:/' ; 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 Roller ! 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. I Since then the Flying Rollers have I 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- : ble. A man w r ho is faithful to the end 1 will live forever. The Bible says that, and the Rollers take it literally. 144,000 in the Elect. Of all the people alive, 144,000 | (mentioned in Revelations, Chapter 14) shall be the elect who are to live during the thousand years w’hen Christ is again to be on earth (during the First Resurrection). Then this i chosen 144,000 shall enjoy Heaven : still with their earthly bodies while j the rest of humanity that was, shall | minister to them as “ministering spir its.” “The world of wickedness will soon cease. A new world will appear is * soon as Christ comes, which will ba | very soon (I can not give the exact i date, but it will be before 1920, there : Is no doubt about that).” says Pas- ; tor Pingree. “In that wftrld there will be no longer this struggle for ! life. Wonderful fruits and flowe-s i will grow everywhei along the road sides—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 «?oon. 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 Statee almost 70,000 illiterates are sent out into the world to make their way; that there are in the country to-day 6.015,000 persons over the age of ten who can neither read not write and that almost 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 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 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 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 splendid teachers to its already strong facul ty in both literary and conservatory departments.
