CITY OK MEXICO. I*>b. 16.—Excite-
ment was caused here because the na-
tional flajj was run up over the cathedral
facing the Zoealo in honor of the new
archbishop, Josef Morn, who h-is just been
installed.
Military Commander <i«neral Ilascon
was one of Die first officials to notice the
flag and be immediately notified the
Minister of War. who in turn. . all» d upon
President 1)j:z. <TOV«rnor l^anda y i'scan-
don of the federal district was called in
and asked if be had Kivtn special per-
mission to have the fins raised, and ho
informed the President that he had given^
no such permission
Orders were given immediately for the
flag; to bo hauled down. Considerable
comment has been caused by the action
of the church in raising the flag, as tho
government took no official recognition
of tb*4 arrival of the archbishop.
Views of Advanced Liberals.
Nuevo Mexico, the organ of the Ad-
vanced Liber; Is. under the caption of
"Very Bad Symptoms.'* today issued tho
following '
"The arrival of the new archbishop of j
Mexico demonstrated the growing inl'lu- '
once df the clergy in our midst. In tho
street*? the crowd knelt down and tho re-
ception was far more remarkable and ,
significant than any that has ever been (
extended to the president of the Republic.
•'Sad. very sad. is it to have to record
thin fact, and let it not be supposed that
we protest, against it out of mere jacobin-
ism; but because we consider It a very
bad symptom of the time.s and as an Indi-
cation that it is going- to be necessary —
whatever may be said to the contrary
to retouch and rcinvigorat© the work of
our immortal reformers."
Mexico Nuevo goes on to mention the
following incident connected with the fly-
ing of the national flag over the cathedral
on the day of the archbishop's reception:
"A discordant note in connection with
the manifestation was the hoisting of the
national flag over the cathedral.
Responsibility Not Placed.
"It is not exactly known what ecclesias-
tical authority was responsible for so
strange an idea; but the fact remains
that it attracted much attention on the
part of the inhabitants of the metropolis
to see our national ensign flying on that
building in connection with a ceremony
that was purely clerical; and the case
waf4 the more flagrant In that the flag
was hoisted in sight of the national pal-
ace and the government's officer.
"Some people believe that it was in-
tended as a slight to ..ur reform laws;
others attribute it to reprehensible ignor-
ance; but in either rase tho matter could
not be allowed to r>ass a moment with-
out action being* taken.
"General Eugenlu Rascon, military com-
mandant of the plaza, from the windows
of his offices could sec that flag flying
above the cathedral and realizing the im-
portance of this fact, he Immediately went
to see General Manuel Gonzalez Cohio,
Minister of War. who in turn sought an
interview with General T>iaz. in order that
a matter so seriously affecting the con-
sideration in which our flag ought to be
held, might be decided.
"The Governor of the federal district
was sent for and it transpired that be
bad not given any authorization for the
display of our flag, and as a result it was
promptly hauled down."'

COW'S TAIL MOTIVE POWER.
Jersey Farmer Makes Switching Ani-
mal Saw Wood.
John Dooly of Jacksonville. N. J . has
hit upon a plan that will hereafter mako
"switchtaU" rows bring a premium, in-
stead of, as now, being unmarketable.
Doeley Is (lie owner of a brlndle cow (h it
h) has been compelled for year* to milk
himself. His hired men after the first
trial of milking the cow refused to re-
main longer in Pooly's < mplov if com-
pelled to put up with the lushing of old
brlndh 's tall.
Pooly has tried for eight years to get
ild of the cow, but her fame has spread
over Ursex and Morris countks, and a
purchaser for her could not be found.
She can snap lier tail just like a whip,
"•id the result is that Dooly's tarn has
not been minus several pieces of flicking
plaster for years.
Pooley said yesterday. "I have been
thinking for some tlnm of using the old
brlndle s tallpower to sonic good effect,
and at last lilt upon a plan, which I have
ii 'W put Into effect with such good re-
sults that it any of the farmers around
Irive any "swlichtall" rows thev want
to dispose of they will find a buyer at
the Dooly farm.
"I cut a hole through the side of the
woodshed," continued Dooly, ••just op-
posite tho circular saw, which we turn
by hand to cut up wood In stove lengths,
and through this hole' 1 put a beam,
which 1 balanced just like the walking-
beam of a ferryboat on the North Hiver
On the Inside end X fastened a stick
lending down to the wheel that turns
the saw. On the outside I fastened a
ripe. I tried the tiling and It worked
fine. Driving a stake into the ground
nciir by, I tied the old brlndle to it, and,
fastening her tall to the beam rope, sat
down to milk. 1 called Pat Dugun, the
farm helper, and told him to feed wood
to the saw. He thought at first t wAs
crazy, but I ordered him to do as told.
"The next minute the old brlndle gave
her tail a switch to swipe ma across the
face as usual, but she couldn't. The
rope held, and lihe could only switch her
tail fti far. Then she tried In the other
direction, with the same result:. I5y this
time old brlndle got pretty mad and she
jerked that tail of hers back and forth
its quick as lightning, and, say, that
walking-beam kept going at such a rate
that you would a-thousht the circular
saw was being driven by a 10-horsepower
engine.
"It just took 1T, minutes to milk old
brlndle, and in that time she cut up two
cords of wood into stove lengths. No,
si.-, I wouldn't take $500 for that old
brindle cow now," concluded Dooly.—

More Than Figurative.
"Alas." sighed Weary Wi«gles, gazing
dejectedly npon his torn and tattered
trousers, "I'm afraid these here pants Is

WILL BENEFIT IN
VOTING EARLY
Little Good Will Result in Hold-
ing Back Votes to the
Last Minute.
MICH ENTHUSIASM IS
MANIFEST IN COUNTRY
Candidates In The Express popular sub-
scription contest should remember that
their votes should be cast at the earliest
practicable time before the close of the
contest, which is next Monday after-
noon at 6 o'clock. It will do the candi-
dates little good to hold back their votes
until the last minute. They can deposit
their votes now, and no otlio# candidate
•will have the least inkling of their
strength. Thia will be of great benefit to
the candidates alike, as it will permit
of an earlier tabulation of the total vote.
Candidates who have any votes held back
should deposit them today or tomorrow—
rather than the day after.
It might also be well for the candidates
to visit The Express contest department
and examine their individual totals. '1 he
book containing their vote will show who
lias voted for them and it will also
provide certain valuable information
relative t< their friends who have prom-
ised to vote for them and have not donu
so thus far. Thus the candidates will
be further enabled to increase their vote
by the subscriptions of their friends wl.u
have promised to subscribe and have not
done so.
The candidates should get m th■;
•'promiitd ' vote as early as possible in
order To work through new fields. A
move of thin kind must necessarily prove
ol great value, if the candidates really
wish to win either of the grand prizes
or one of the many district prizes.
The closing days of this generous sub-
scription contest are notable for the great
amount of enthusiasm that is being dis-
played in some of the out-of-tctwn dis-
tricts, where there is an exceptionally
keen rivalry between the towns. Va-
rious communities are bent on having
their candidate named In the list of prize-
winners. and this has resulted in mure
than ordinary effort on the part of every
friend of many candidates. For this
reason It is certain that there will be
many surprises from the country.
Because of this activity in the country
there should he efforts Just as strenuous
on the part of the candidates residing in
the first four contest districts, which
embrace the city of Sin Antonio and the
whole of Bexar County. On tho part of
these candidates there will have to bo
some real hustling ami without delay.
It all now simmers down to tho ques-
tion of who is going to make good in
tills contest. As no one candidate knows
what the other is doing these days, it
should make the contest all tho more in-
teresting and bring out greater enthus-
iasm in the work of all who are in tho
race to win one of the splendid prize:?.
District Prizes.
In District No. 1 tho first prize is a
one-aero lot—think of that—one acre in
the widely known Edgewood Addition,
lying at Hamilton and Ceralvo Streets
This is property that hns a cash value of
$400 at the least and is Worthy of con- J
sideration. There is much that can be
done with this lot.
in District No. 2 the first prize is a lot |
in the Riverside Park Addition. This Is
lot No. 14. block 22. fronting on Eads j
Avenue, which is part of the automobile
loop. The cash value of this lot is at
least $400. This lot Is Just one and one-
half blocks from the Hot Wells car lino.
Five lots constitute the first prize in (
District No. 3. These lots are in the
Sunny Slope Addition, one of the best to
be found in San Antonio. Here is the
gold< n oportunity of doubling your,
money, a> the lots are constantly going
up iii value. They are right on a car
lino also. , |
A fine lot in the Hot Wells Park Addi- j
tion is the first prize in District No 4.
The lot is located at Dullnig Court, oppo-
site the Hot Wells Hotel and Bath House,
and this lends an additional value t<> the
property. There is a splendid car service
to this addition and a paved street to the
center of the city.
Some Valuable Lands.
Ten acres of land and a town lot. at ;
Crystal City is the first prize of the Fifth
District Crystal City is rapidly growing
and with its growth there is a constant-
ly increasing demand for the splendid
land to be found in that vicinity. Here !

jvill receive a town lot a fid twenty acres :
of land at Gardendale in DaSalle County, j
This is just six miles from Cotulla, and 1

this prize.
In that rapidly growing town of New |
Sutherland Springs is located tho fir«t
prize of the Seventh District. This town
will soon he ranking among the greatest
health resorts of tho Southwest, because
of its valuable medicinal waters. Prop-
erty there is naturally getting higher all
of the time.

did residence lot In the Oppenhelmer Ad-
dition in Uvalde. This lot is situated
just a few steps from a car line and in
one of the choicest residence sections that

of anyone to personally investigate the
worth of this nriz*.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.—The ontiro
northeastern part of the United Slati'K,
from the Mississippi River to the Atlan-

vere storm today. Heavy falls of sleet
and snow, accompanied by high winds,
hampered all kinds of transportation.
Miles of telegraph and telephone wires

CHICAGO, III., Feb. 16.—The opening
sessions of the opening meeting of the
American and National baseballe leagues
produced little excitement, notwithstand-
ing rumors had been circulated about
possible wordy wars. At the session the
National el.ague schedule was adopted
without change, and it was decided that
in the future the league's National meet-
ings would l»e held in New York on the
second Tuesday In December. The al-
leged attempt at bribery of Umpires
Klem and Johnstone during the closing-
g ime in New York, between the Chi-
cago and New York teams, was not dis-
cussed. although a special committee
headed by President Brush of the New
York Nationals had been looked to lor
a report.
In the special session held by the Na-
tional Commission, the National agree-
ment was the sole topic of discussion.
While no definite action was taken It
is probable that the National agreement
will be amended along the lines of the
talk heard at Cincinnati last month.
The dinner given tonight by President
Hairy C. Pulliam of the National League
to the writers of sporting events on the
Chicago newspapers resolved itself into
a love feast before the tables had been
cleared. Mr. Pulliam had been expected
to express himself on the recent utter-
ances of President Murphy of the Chi-
cago National League Club, but Mr.
l'uiliam seemed to have reconsidered his
announced intention of saying unkind
things about Murphy and decided to make
tho feast one of rejoicing.
DECISION IS IMPORTANT.
Many Saloons Remain In Business
Throughout Louisiana.
NEW ORLEANS, La., Feb. 16.-In the
Criminal District Court today an im-
portant decision was handed down by
Judge direction in connection with the
Gay-Shattuck law, the antl-llquor legis-
lative act passed at the last session of
the Louisiana Assembly.
Judge Chectien, with Judge Baker con-
curring, held that the clause prohibiting
saloons from carrying on a business with-
in three miles of a church or school, was
not retrospective and only applied to
prospective saloons. Had the law been
construed as applying to saloons already
established, thousands of them through-
out the State would have been forced out

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—That there
Is no branch of agriculture that is more
needed in the South than dairying is
the emphatic declaration^^ experts of
the liureau of Animal Industry of the
Department of Agriculture, who for (the
past two years have been conducting
systematic field work in the Southern
States for the development of the dairy
industry in that section. Some Interest-
ing facts are gleaned regarding this im-
portant industry in a statement prepared
by R H. Rawl, Duncan Stuart and
George M. Whitaker, entitled "The Dairy
Industry in the South," which was made
public today. The report is divided into
three parts, entitled "Southern Markets
lor Dairy Products," by Duncan Stuart;
"The Milk Supply of Southern Cities,"
by Mr Whitaker, and "Why Dairying
Is Undeveloped In the South," by Mr.
Rawl. •
The Investigation in regard to the
dairying industry in the South has been
carried on by these scientists in co- j
operation with* State experiment stations,
agricultural colleges and departments of
agriculture, and has steadily increased 1
until at present a representative of the
dairy division of the Bureau of Animal
Industry is working in each of nine
Southern States. The work has consist-
ed largely of personal effort among tho
dairy farmers with a view to teaching
them better methods, and has produced
good results.
Improvements Needed.
"In the prosecution of this work,"
declares Secretary of Agriculture Wil-
son in a letter of transmittal, "it was
realized that a deckled improvement in
the quality of the milk supply of the
cities throughout the State was needed.
Insanitary methods of producing and
handling milk was a great menace to
public health. In 1907 an inspector was
assigned to investigate the situation more
fuily and give assistance in applying
methods that would bring about improve-
ment." The secretary adds that only
a small part of the dairy products con-
sumed In the South are produced in
that section.
Great emphasis Is laid in the summary
of conclusions on the fact that dairying
in the South is not only a profitable
industry in itself, but that it may he
made the means of increasing the pro-
ductiveness of the soil and promoting
a better type of agriculture. Briefly
reviewing some of the improvements
which the dairy situation demands In
the Southern States, the experts point
out that:
"It is found that Southern dairymen,
as a rule, are not using the most eco-
nomic methods in the following particu-
lars: The production of the average
cow is only about half what it should
b#» Too many of the dairies are in the
cities, when thev should be on the farms, ,
hence too high-priced iced and badN
methods <>f feeding. Milk and butter of
poor quality are produced, which do not
bring the highest prices.
Low Per Capita Consumption.
"It is strikingly true that in most cases
where an inferior dairy herd has been
in existence for some years, it will be
found that expensive methods are being
practiced and an inferior grade of out-
pat Is being produced.
"Southern dairying needs improvement
ail along the line. The cost of produc-
tion is unreasonably high. The sani-
tarv conditions are often bad and the
price of first-class products is in some
casta too low."
In conclusion, the report points out
that the three main points that every
Southern dairyman should bear in mind,
and which, cannot be too strongly em-
phasized, are: Better cows, more home-
grown feed and a better product.
A noteworthy fact developed by the
investigation is that the per capita milk
consumption in the South is below the
average for the country and that the use
of cream, of which large amounts are
consumed in the North, is almost un-
known In the South. The per capita
dailv consumption of milk in the United
State? iw estimated at about two-thirds
of a pint, while in most Southern cities
the daily consumption is less than half
a pint, and as low as one-third of a
pint in some places.
Several reasons for this low per
capita consumption Of milk and cream
are given as follows: Indifference as
to tho food value of milk, an inherited
habit of tiring milk in small quantities,
an inefficient supply, suspicion of the
purity wot the product and the large
negro population. It then/is declared
thai when the milk supply'of Southern
cities H Improved by means of better
sanitary Inspection, and when the pub-
lic realises that an ample supply of
clean, safe milk can be obtained* In-
creasing amounts will be consumed.
Should Educate Public.
"Here is another opportunity for im-
proving the condition of the Southern
dairyman," the report states. "As the
public is educated to^reallze the differ-
ence in tho way good milk is produced,
as compared with the inferior article,
there will be a willingness not only to
consume more of that which is produced
in the proper manner, but also to pay
a higher price for it." It is pointed
out that in Memphis and Nashville,
Tenn.: Ashevllle, N. C., and other places
some dairies get 1 to 4 cents a quart
more than others, merely because the
public has confidence frk;it the product
is pure and clean.
A striking example of the unwisdom
of not producing its own dairy products,
such as creamery butter, renovated but-
ter, cheese, condensed milk and oleo-
ma rgiripe, and as a consequence having
to import these food staples and the es-
timated financial gain if produced at
home i-< shown It is shown that the
estimated profits that could be" saved
to the South would aggregate $14,052,727 in
tbe fifty cities which now import those
products to the value Of $22,957,882, If
184.W0 cow; were kept to supply the de-
ficiency. Tli is would amount to a
profit of $29?.,054 for each of the fifty
cities. It is further shown that 12,304
dairy farms, or an average of 240 farms
per city, with fifteen cows with the
proper milk capacity on each farm, would
be required to supply these products
and at the same time give employment
to about twentv-fivo thousand men.

Jacob Rils tells many amusing experi-
ences about street urchins when they first
Hee the green fields and the. wooded hills.
Here is one of his best:
"A couple of waifs, who for the first
time were watching the cows being milked
on a Cat skill Mountain farm, seemed very
much puzzled. The farmer, noticing the
peculiar expression on their countenances,
Inquired the cause.

BOSTON'S WEALTHIEST MAN.
Possessor of Vast Riches Is Practi-
cally Unknown in Residential City.
From a humble lumber scaler to the
richest men in Boston—this i» the life
story of John M. Longyear, whose wealth
Is estimated at more than $100,000,000,
who owns 2,000,000 acres of the richest
ore deposits and timber land In the world,
and who only a short time ago added
524.000,000 to his possessions at a single
stroke of the pen.
And yet dis Boston Croesus, whose
vast riches have placed him among the
dozen wealthiest men in the country, is
nearly as little known today in the busy
world of his residential city as at the
time when, with a pack of supplies on his
back, he tramped through the woods of
the Northwest.
Brookline and Boston society is ac-
quainted witli the millionaire through the
social activities of his wife and two
daughters, Miss Helen Longyear and Mrs.
Abbie Roberts.
But, Mr, Longyear himself Is too deep-
ly engaged with the responsibilities of
liis properties to indulge in the numerous
social functions which are the rule of his
household.
So little is he known in Brookline that
recently when a police officer, whose beat
covers Fisher 11 til. was asked about the
millionaire, he replied! "During the three
years that Mr. Longyear has been living
here I have not seen him once."
His hobbies, if lie can be said to have
any. are traveling and architecture.
A rover through the forests of the
Northwest from the beginning of his
business career, the spirit of travel has
taken him to all parts of the world dur-
ing the latter days of his life.
Although of sufficient wealth to insure
him an entrance into all the important
social clubs of Boston, he is member of
none. /
Today, at 5S, he is still the advocate of
the simple as well as of the strenuous
life. He rises! every morning at 8 o'cloclu
breakfasts before o, and from that hour
on his day is filled with business activi-
ties.
Three years ago Mr. Longyear moved
to Brookline and built at the summit of
Fisher Hill what Is considered the finest
residence in the richest town in the world.
liis manner is democratic, and he re-
calls with pride the days when he first
went into the woods in search of ex-
perience and wealth.
Fresh from the Georgetown University,
his first job was that of a lumber scaler
in the Saginaw Valley. Afterwards he
was employed as a land looker and esti-
mator in the upper section of Michigan
and Minnesota. Ills long trips through
the woods, his keen judgment and far-
sightedness soon taught him that in tl.eso
woods were millions for the man who
knew how to obtain them.
Within a short time his Energies were
directed towards raising funds to acquire
sections of.this rich land. Within a short
time he rose to be one of the greatest
land owners of the Northwest, and less
than two and one-half y< irs ago, seated
in the office of ,T. p. Morgan In Sew
York, by the leasing of some of his ore
properties to the United States Steel
Company, Mr T.ongyc ir be,Mine richer
by $U4 oiO.OOO within a few minutes.—Bos-
ton Post.
Not Within His Jurisdiction.
A well known New York judg Invited a
friend of his, a lawyer from Boston, to go
for a short trip on his va lit. A storm
came up and the boat began to ro'l and
toss in a manner which the Boston lawyer
did not relish.
The judge laid a hand on l is friend's
shoulder and said. "My <1 ur fel'ow, i*
there anything I can do u> make you
comfortable?"
"Yes," was the grim reply, "ovetYulo
this motion!"—Brooklyn Life.
