YEARS
One day this week wireless mes
sages were exchanged between Fort
Sam Houston in Texas and a station
in Rhode Island, with the national
capital on the circuit. The Texas
operators have been in touch also
with Havana, and they count on an
effective range of 2000 miles in any
direction. This limit is only tem
porary. It has been exceeded in wire
less messages to Alaska and across
the Pacific. Napoleon held that the
most important element of military
movement is time. As far as possi
ble he perfected a courier system in
his own forces and with Paris. A
material portion of his immediate
army" was beyond his reach .at Water
loo. He may have dreamed of a
wireless system as did Galileo. But
it was only an imagining that could
not be realized in his day.
The battle of Shiloh was fought al
most entirely with muskets loaded
at the muzzle. Repeating rifles were
not yet introduced in the army. Late
in the war the cavalry received a
few. The Confederate commander
in chief at Shiloh was killed by a
buckshot from a musket firing a mix
ture of bull and buck. Its range was
a few hundred yards. There was no
field telegraph no telephones, and the
Confederate Army marched to the
attack unperceived. The fighting was
fierce, heroic, as the combined casual
ties of 20,000 show. But what a differ
ent story compared with the field and
headquarters resources of today.
What the government has done with
the remains of the Maine is worthy
of the national dignity, and shows
the hVhest appreciation of the brave

OLORED RACES WILL RULE THE EARTH AND THE WHITE
RACE WILL BE ENTIRELY EXTINCT IN A FEW MORE

The various white nationalities of the world are GRAD
UALLY GROWING DARKER. In this' country particularly i-i
there a noticeable decrease in the number of natural blonds. Fair
haired and FAIR SKINNED PERSONS ARE BECOMING
FEWER and fewer, and dark hair, brown or red complexions and
general brunette color are becoming common.
In tropical countries the white man has never been able to live in
health. With ordinary precautions a man may live after two years
of acclimatization immuneffrom most of the tropical diseases, but
after five or six years more the deteriorating effects of the strong
solar light and heat begin to show themselves on the white skin and
render the possessor particularly susceptible to tropical ailments.
Therefore the PERMANENT SETTLEMENT OF THE TROP
ICS IS IMPOSSIBLE BY WHITE MEN.
AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE REVERTING MORE AND MORE T'

This is the time of the year when
country women are thinking of gard
ens and chickens and it is hard to
tell which holds their attention more;
with myself it is the chickens, as'this
year we have netted considerable
more than $300 from our small flock,
having 173 hens at the beginning of
the year, but many of these were
sold oil during the summer and fall.
We sold many dozens of high
priced eggs through the winter. I
wonder how many people understand
the best way to feed milk to hens.
As we have quite a quantity of milk
we buy cheese tablets at the drug
store and curd the sweet milk, pour
ing off the whey. The hens are very
fond of this curd. Sometimes I mix
it .with shorts. Kale also is valua
ble as green feed for the chickens.
Too much care cannot be taken at
this' season of the year to keep the
hens and chicks free from lice and
mites, and right here I want to sound
a warning against the use of antisep
tic - (so-called) nest eggs, reputed to
keep chickens free from mites and
lice. Hearing that an acquaintance
had used them and recommended
them highly we bought a lot of them.
The directions say to use them in
the nests of the laying hens, under
your hatching hens (and the man
who sold them to us said the same)
also to put them under the hens two
nights a week, when brooding the lit
tle chicks.
When we got the eggs I had some
hens about to hatch so put one of the
eggs under each hen as well aa the
other setting hens. The results were
simply disastrous. A lot of the
chicks were killed while still under
the hens and some of those that sur
vived have, since died five today,
I expect to find more dead in the
morning. As for the eggs killing lice
I know they did not kill some on a
couple of brood hens that sat on those
eggs in the laying hens nests. Then
too the nest, eggs imparted an Oder
to the fresh eggs. .
My neighbor who got some of the
"Antiseptic Nest Eggs" the same day
as I did, tells me they drove her set
ting hens off -the nest, and even killed
a fine blooded settings hen for her.
She too has been losing her little
chicks that were hovered with an
egg in their coop. We have no furth
er use for "lice killing nest eggs."

SUSPECT IN THIS
CUV AFTER
(Continued from page 1)
Roberts in an automobile. It was
complete. Even Roberts himself
helped to draw the net tighter around
himself, as if feeling it was of no
use to deny Ruenetz knew him.
As the old gardener approached
the automobile to look closer at the
suspect, Roberts, had been watching
him, cried outr "Hullo."
This identification is considered oi
great importance by Sheriff Stevens,
for it establishes beyond a doubt that
Roberts has been staying near were
the murder was committed for sever
al days beforehand. It is regarded as
more than a conincidence that his
sudden departure took place the same
night that Stewart and Hastings were
killed.
Ruenetz told Sheriff Stevens ah
interesting story of his experieice
with Roberts. It was on Sunday night
just two weeks ago, that Roberts ap
peared at Ruenetz's home on Palas
tine Hill and asked to be put up for
the night. Ruenetz said thiS he wore
the same peculiar pea jacket and the
same slouch hat, and carried the same
double barreled shotgun that he had
on the day. he wa3 arrested. He had
a black moustache then, however, the
gardener said.
The appearance of a heavily armed
man at that time of the night it was
nearly 9 o'clock and Roberts general
appearance aroused Ruenetz's suspi
cions, but he said nothing.
He told Roberts he might sleep in
a . little log cabin, used as a play
house by the children, near the house,
and 'Roberts' immediately went over
there and turned in. He slept there
until 9 o'clock the next morning when
he appeared at the house and asked
for breakfast.
Took tho Gift Without Thanks.
The name of W. H. Alexander is
practically an unknown one in Eng
land, yet be it was who gave to the
country the enormous sum of S0.(X)(l
for the purpose of building the Nn
tional Portrait gallery. The only rec:ir
tion he asked for this munificent gift
was that lie might have an autograph
letter from Queen Victoria giving ex
pression to the nation's gratitude. It
is more than remarkable. that up to the
time of his death this modest request
had not been granted, and no recogni
tion was made of his handsome gift.
It is surmised that this simple wish
was never laid before the queen. Pear

discipline of her old maid aunts, her
winning of the love of a brave, good
man, form the thread of the story,

Pcpular Organization to Present Mrs.
Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch
It will be good news to many a
little boy and girl in this city as well
their elders to know that the Baksr
Stock Company is to play the great
American comedy of poverty life, Mrs.
Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch, this
week. The play has been here before

which is filtered through with very
delightful scenes of comedy and touch
es of pathos that reach the heart. "
Messrs. Klaw and Erlanger, the mas
ter hands of theatrical stage-craft,
have given- "Rebecca of Sunnybrook
Farm,"' a stage environment, which
for magnitude is only rivalled by the
same firm's production of "Ben Hur"
and it is probably the largest theat
rical production -on. tour of the West
this season. An excellent company
has been organized for the presenta
tion of the piece and includes in ad
dition to Miss Ursula St. (leorse.
whom the managers "have brought
from London to appear in the role
of Rebecca, such well known actors
and actresses are Maud Ream Stover,
Loyola O'Conner, Fannie D. MacCul-'
lin, Ruth Findlay, Lillian Ross, Sam
Reed, Sidney Blair, Henry Carlin and
Alfred Hudson, Jr., along with many
others. ..

one cannot afford, but with the popular

Bargain night, when . the seats are
all the same prices as matmess. - Mrs.
Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch depicts
life among the lowly people who are al
ways just on the edge of misery and
starvation, but it is so filled with good
cheer, unselfishness and optimism that
it has been accepted as a great Amer
ican classic in it's particular field of
literature. It is is a scream of fun from
beginning to end with just enough
heart interest and tenderness to make
pretty contrasts. All the famous char
actors so well known in the book will
be seen, such as Mrs. Wiggs, Mis'
Hazy, Mrs. Stubbins, Lovey Mary, Mrs.
Eichorn, all the little Wiggses with
the "jography names" Asia, Austral
ie and Europena, and those who at
tend the Baker this week will enjoy
one of the treats of thir life.

IMPROVED FEELING
IN SPOT HOP TRADE
There is a slightly improved feel
ing in the spot hop trade. Brewers
are inquring for supplies while the
volume of business is small, there
is little stock remaining to fill this
offering. For that reason grower
holders are making no concession in
price.
April is usually a good buying
month .for hops as that is the time
that brewers look over their stocks
in preparation for the summer's bus
iness. Contracts are nominalat 25 to 26c
a pound for 1912 with business offered
at both prices. There is a slight
increase in this branch of the trade.
American brewers continue to s"h"ow
the only interest iH either - spot or
contract goods.
There is a somewhat firmer feel
ing abraod and some slight advance

recently.

LEVEE 18
WEAKENING;
BIG BASIN
MEMPHIS, April 0. All hope of
saving the St. Francis levee and the
St. Francis basin was abandoned to
day by government officials and en
gineers. A dozen weak spots were re
ported simultaneously shorty before
noon in the St. Francis levee, and it
appears certain that the dykes will
Soon go out. This means that thous
ands of acres of tillable soil in Ten
nessee and Mississippi will be inun
dated. It is feared that a break in
the St. Francis levee will destroy the
$5,000,000 railroad bridge here. The
crest of the flood is not expected be
fore Sunday and with the bursting
of the levee it is not probable the
structure will be able to withstand
the teriffic pressure wihch will be
placed upon it.
Practically the entire eastern part
of Arkansas is covered with the back
water from the flood. Thousands of
refugees are arriving from the lower
districts. They are being temporarily
quartered in the public buildings and
private homes. The situation in the
surrounding country is growing worse
hourly. It is .conservatively estimat
ed that 20,000 people are homeless.
Five hundred refugees, who arrived
here today from Tiptonville, Tena., re
ported that every house in Lake coun
ty, Tenn., was completely submerged.
The sudden break of the levee yes
terday is said to have left many per
sons stranded oa housetops and trees.
Mayor Crump of Memphis, today,
"shanghaied" 200 negroes andTsSnt
them to Bridge Junction to stop a
break in the levee there.
ON VERGE OE WAR
(Continued from page 1)
leading part in the effort to bring the
Turkish-Italian war to an end is said
to have been sugested by the fact
that in this frontier dispute she can
use an argument that will give a weak
power, such as Turkey, cause to think
before engaging against two l.roig
powers at the same time."
