PROMINENTPEOPLr* MEXICO'S WEALTHIEST MAN Not unlike the mighty estates of the old patroons, who used to own tre mendous tracts of land around New York and whose sway was more pow- U erful than that of the most puissant ml feudal baron in Europe, is that of jGen. Don Luis Terrazas, "boss" of the vPLoMfet. US® state of Chihuahua, owner of more than half the land Included within its Haf%| wide boundaries and the richest man isl\ ln Mexico. His wealth is estimated w- / -"ti vlt. wvrt'V not ' ess *' lan $25,000,000 gold and Vm?/ \\wr\' v / many estimate It much higher. Ter razas is of interest at this time, for V many people are saying that he and llis Koni "' law . Enrique Creel, are re sponsible for the rebellion ln Mexico. 112% Vfc'} V.Gen. Don Luis Terrazas has lived |w\ ull Ills life in Chihuahua. His parents 'iivv.wvK f.7' S• Y V'/I/M/. were small landowners before the in- W JJO/i 4T i ) \////// vasion of Mexico by the French. wmfrmß fsAjfi fk { V ffi'J/t' / mllll/l/il Ilen Mexico began to try for free - nilffffff/f dom from the foreign invaders Ter i 'iMtilftr \ fl r III 1 (111 raZ as, then a young man without in fluence, starting with a small body of valiant followers, built up a force sufficient to drive the French out of the northern part of Mexico. Later when the French were defeated ln the south and the empire overthrown with the death of' Maximilian, Terrazas took charge of the portion of Mexico now comprised by the state of Chihuahua. Later came Diaz, and Terrazas lent his aid in subduing and forming the republic, receiving his reward "to have and to hold" the state of Chi huahua. Nominally he was elected governor. Really he was made the boss of the state, and while he has not held office as governor continually he has dictated the election of every one who has been chosen and mostly the mantle has fallen on the shoulders of some member of his own family. Therein lies the cause of the present rebellion. Citizens of Chihuahua who have taken up arms against the present government declare that Terrazas and his clan have gobbled Chihuahua; that they can only live there now as peons; that those in power are growing richer and richer every day, while the common people are growing poorer and poorer. Short of stature, weazened and wrinkled, with his short, white beard and his Mexican cowboy dress, he walks the streets of Chihuahua today in spite of his seventy-eight years, calmly collectiing his 12 per cent, and apparently unadvised that there is a rebellion in his realm which threatens to strip him of the power he has wielded for more than 30 years. PASTOR~TO HAVE BIG CHURCH ~ Rev. Charles F. Aked, who talked seriously of resigning the pastorate of the Fifth Avenue Baptist church — nfo the Rockefeller church—in New York city because of the supposed failure VS of a pretentious building project on ,t? which he had set his heart, seems to have won his point. As a result Goth- SpgpT i/t am Is likely to have tho greatest church on modern institutional linea NVffl, ([, jL, John D.

"fftPA'W'A ber of plots surrounding his home and it is believed that he is rounding out his holdings so that they may become available for the new church site If the trustees fail to find one more suitable. The Rockefeller house, though very large, is not strictly modern, and the owner prefers his Pocantico hills estate. It is understood that he will give up his city residence if the church trustees accept certain offers he is formu lating. The plan of Mr. Rockefeller and Dr. Aked, it Is said, is to make the new church the greatest and most Influential institution of its kind in the world.

So persistently did he Impress this In tills herd of cows that many of their descendants proved excellent milkers many generations after Mr. Bates' herd was dispersed. Hence the pre vailing opinion that Shorthorn cows of exceptional dairy qualities should be sought among those carrying an in fusion of liates blood ha 3 a founda tion in fact; yet there are exceptions and some notable ones. Amos Crulckshank, who drew the attention of the beef producing world to the excellence of the Scotch Short horns, by the wonderful fleshing quali ties he had bred into his herd, was not unmindful of the dairy qualities of his cows, and in that mavelous herd of beef cattle were many matrons quite good at the pall. The large dairies that supply milk for London are composed quite large ly, and In some cases exclusively, of Shorthorn cows. This is also true In part of dairies In New York and New England. I ter is too cold to be comfortable if drunk in large quantities, the cow will ! not drink enough, and aa a result, will drop considerably in her milk yield. When Missouri Chief Josephine was giving about 100 pounds of milk each day last winter she drank dally about 31 gallons of water. Imagine how she would have suffered If that had been ice water. It was warmed, however, and Josephine did not chill after drinking. Green Feeding Worth While. If the best results are to be obtain ed with poultry they must be furnish ed plenty of green feed, is a statement so often heard that Its repetition seems silly; yet there are flocks on fairly prosperous farms where one would think the practice of regular green feeding had never been heard of.

There are two tiny boys in this town whose mother sings often to them at their request, and as she is an ardent church woman, the children hear as many hymns as anything else. The oth er day they were playing with their wooden ducks In the bathtub, and strangely enough the ducks were more inclined to float sideways than in the approved manner. After several at tempts to keep the misguided ducks straight the older boy shouted: "Stand up, duck, stand up!" Then two-year-old, noting the familiar phrase, leaned over the tut. and ex horted. "'Tand up, duck! 'Tand up for Jesu3!" Warned. A serious-ininded New Yorker, who, because of his dignified outlook on life, has sent his son, aged twelve, to a particularly strict and proper board ing school in New England, unexpect edly visited the school last week. As certaining the location of his young hopeful's room, he climbed the four flights of stairs necessary to reach it —and entered. On a mammoth pla card suspended from a steel engrav ing of"Washington and Generals" (presented to the youth as a Christ mas gift by his admiring parent) was the cheerful sentiment: "Don't spit on the ceiling. We have lost our ladder." Her Wedding March. A young girl who had never heard of Mendelssohn's "Wedding March," but was familiar with the more popu lar parody on It, was a witness to a wedding ceremony in an uptown church recently. As the betrothed pair walked with dignified tread to ward the altar to be wed and the or gan pealed forth Mendelssohn's inspir ing march, the young girl was plainly shocked. When she arrived at her home she told her mother of the cere money and innocently exclaimed: "What do you think, mother, they played 'Gee Whiz! I'm glad I'm Free. 1 " Domestic Amenities.

"About seven years ago I ceased drinking coffee to give your Postum a trial. "I had suffered acutely from various forms of indigestion and my stomach had become so disordered as to repel almost every sort of substantial food. My general health was bad. At close Intervals I would suffer severe attacks which confined me in bed for a week or more. Soon after changing from coffee to Postum the indigestion abated, and In a short time ceased entirely. I have continued the daily use of your excellent Food Drink and assure you mott cordially that I am indebted to you for the relief It has brought me. "Wishing you a continued success, I am Yours very truly, J. Stanley Browne, Managing Editor." Of course, when a man's health shows he can stand coffee without trouble, let him drink it. but most highly organized brain-workers sim ply cannot.
