If the cover crop is to follow the fail breaking a thorough preparation of the seed-bed should be made before piantiug tJ>e £eed. If no cover crop is sown the disc harrow or spring tooth harrow should be run over oc- oasionaiiy. to crush clods and keep the surface crusts broken for the ad^s- iion of air aiid suBlight.

New Yotu, Jan. 16.—Although the temperature rose fully 20 degrees be tween 2 o’cJock yesterday morning and midnight last night, almost i score of persons in asd aiMut the greater city met death in the frigid conditions. In Bast Orange a daugh ter froze to death, before her crippled mother’s eyes. Thousands of the homesless and the poor sought refuge in the city’s hav ens of aid, the lodging houses and the missions, and it was owii« to the thorough preparations made for just such an einergency that many more deaths were avoided. From its extreme low point of , degrees below zero at 2 o’clock yes terday morning the mercury in the of ficial city thermometer oa the 'Whitt- hall Building rose by slow stages un til at 4 o’clock in the afternoon it at tained its highest point—19 degrees. With the approach of night, hi>wever, the mercury again began to fall, re ceding point by point until at II p. m. it was down to 13 degrees, with indi cations that it would not go much ia Apftil f«r iiitfr THE TWO WILSONS, Ara there two Wilsons or one? Which is the real one? Wilson the uncompromising idealist? Or Wilson the disingenious politician? Wilson is the despot of his administrattozx. j vx^j^ci a tmu awu ueu is prefer-j coni/x He rales his cabinet with an iron hand, j able. Only the first few inches need j lower ‘ ■" to lie freshened and pulverized at It was the continuance of the cold time. When the cover crop weather, however, that brought death is drawn uader, the plowing should be just deep et-.siigh to turn the crop under well and the usual harrowing and pulverizir.g to get a fine soil be fore seeding. Where there has been no fall and winter brea'J.'jg done, as is the rule in some sections, it is not advisable pe is the Czar of tho White House. A pompous pedagogue he frowns an on opposition. He forcea BiS bills down the throat of Congress iand com pels the American people to swallow a haif-baked currency measure and the nauseous bill of an unjust in come tax. In Mexico he imposes his j Jiv lo XlUb auvi£»ui; will not only upon his country but | to break as deeply in the spring as insists that the Mexican people should j in the fall; usually not more than 'two inches deeper than before, and govern themselves in cccordsnce wilh the dictates of his own Puritan con science. He scorned Amsrican tradi tion; he defies Europe; he braves war with the Mexican people; iu order to carry out to the bitter end some mys terious moral policy of his own. Mr, Wilson elaborates the Monroe Doc trine, in a manner distinetiy at oddsj with the policy of his party, by of- j fering the protecting wing of t.*ie then the clay subsoil should not be turned to the surface. The plow can set to edge the furrow. It is found more necessary to get spring broken land finely pulverized snd thoroughly pi-epared before planting. It is better to delay planting several days rather than put the seed in poorly prepared beds. When Huerta Goes. Huerta’s dictatorship is indeed, like American Eagle to Central America. I J summer seas.” _ , , Under the \ictory of the Constitution- But when the women come to him and 1Ojinaga,s the last hand’ ask him to apeak one word for woman j breadth of his power tn northern Mei- suffrage, what strange humility is por- ieo has melted. His sway is now Hm- trayed in the bland smile, the depre- eatisig hands! The President, he teiis them, is only the mouthpiece of his party. Ha cannot force his own views upon Goiigress. But can he at, iiisst express an opinion of his own ? What are Mr. Wilson’s \'iews on woman guiFrage? Are they concrete or are ited to a narrow zone about the capi tal, .^nd omens are that this, too, will soon break asunder. For weeks, the revolutionists Itave been winning steadily. Cheered by their latest sue cesAfes, they are now preparing to march upon Mexico City, while the army opposing them is splinters and demoralized. At this juncture two interesting and I ..I- uwo inrer^siing ana forceful figures stand out in the Coa- icy: jjir. v.-t, , stitutionalist camp—Francisco Villa woman suffrage is that of a p-jlitician, Venustiano Carranza. Villa ia but of aa idealiat-never. Once be- ,man of the , • I-iOur« Ilfs reputation a.bro&d rests fore a cynical pohtican seemed to peer ] soldiership, his through the Wilson mask. Wilson, | umnercifu! -»ill in attaining and hoW as Koosevelt points out in the addenda i iii.? an end. To hm, a enemy is some- to his autobiography, accused the Bull '^hing to be exterminated and the on ly fight worth v/hila i.s a .ighr. to the hiit. He lias been variously portray ed as a military butcher, a bandit and a sort of Robin Hood. Villa \va? a faithful adherent of the late Made.o who, when cnee asked during the iev- olution of 1911, “What about this bad man, Villa,"’ replied “He is not a bad roan. You would turn bandit yoarself under his hitter experience.” And then the story was told that VUla, having resented a family insult from an army officer, and knowing that a mock trial and Eummary execution would fol low, fled to the hills and entered upon a life not unlike that of the old hero of Sherwood forest. Be that as it may, he was true to the cause of Ma- dero and has shown himself a first- class fighting man, with a comaiand^ er’s foresight besides. While Villa has been driving the last remnant of the Huerta army from northern Mexico, Carranza con quered the west coast. These two now propose to join fortes and attack the cpital. Their agreement seems to be thorough, for the present at Isast; whatever difference may yet develop among Constitutionslist leaders, they are unit-ed for the overthrow of Huerta. And when Huerta is oat of- the way a large part of the Mexjcan problem, so far as it concerns the United States, will be simpiified if not solved. Not until the dictator is elim inated can our Government exercise to his autobiography, accused the Bull Moose of being supported by the Har vester Trust when his own pre-cam paign was financed by the President of that corporation. Yet Mr. Wilson never retracted his statement. Ha never apologized to Theodore Koose- velt. He never frankly, manfully un deceived the American people. Wil son reveals two faces. Which is the real one? Which is the real Wilson? The moralist or the unscrapTiIous pol itician ? Is it Dr. Jekyll or JJr. Hyde ? to those who succumbed. When the Arctic blast first swept down on the city—Tuesday night—the victims of its flercast attack still had sufficient stamina to survive the chilling cold. Tvfenty-four house of these conditions proved too much for these persons to withstand, however, and they paid their tribute of death as the day wore on. Just when Mayor Mitchell aad those at the head of New York’s various charitable organizations were prepar ing to throw open the State armories and other large buildings, in the sf- fori to house the sufferers from the cold, word came that today will be warmer, with prospects of local snows. Tomorrow, also, according to the Weather Bureau, will be warmer and fair. The hundreds of homeless men, those without the price; of a night’s lodging in the Bowery lodging houses began early on Tuesday night to shufBe toward the Municipal lodging House, the City Lodging House and the Bowery Mission’s biuldihg, No. 227 Bowery, and a dozen other places where they were guaranteed a shelter from the winter’s severest night. Almost two thousHsid psesons were given shelter, either in the Municipal Lodging House or on the steamers Thomas S. Brennan, Lowell and Con- LowcU and Correction, moored in the dock 8t East Twenty-Sixth Street. A handful of these were wcmen, boys and girls. The Bowery Mission sheltered 400 and gave coffee and bread to a thous and. When the beds in the misaioti were filled chairs were placed in the hallways and 400 more made comfort- a’Me for the night. The City Lodging House gave hot coffee and rolls to several hutidreii others before sending them to their beds for the night.

Washington, Jan. 20.—^In no sec tion of tho ocuntry does s well pre pared seed bed give better returns than in the Southern States. ’Ihe be^ spring preparation of the soil is prac tically impossible unless it has been property turned and deeply broken during the previous summer or fall. The necessity for deep plowing in tii^ Sooth is probably not realized by thoTj -«dio are not familiar with the heavy rainfalla in this section, which fre quently packs and runs the particles of soil together so as to exclude air. and sunshine. The absence of freez- ing prevents any loosening up of the particles, besides in many places there is an almost impervious hard-pan of subsoil, either natural or brought exercise about from a continuous custom ofI~_1,.^? its neighbor New Power House at Roanoke Rapids. Koanoke Rapids, Jan. 17.—The Roa noke Rapids Power Company has be gun the erection of a new electric light and power system here, having been granteil a franchise by the t^wn commissioners some weeks ago. The old power roaipany forfeited its fran chise. J. T. Chase, the local mwMig- er, says that he will rush lo com pletion, the new plant as rapidly as pussible, and when it is finished, Roa- loi.e Rapids will have the cheapest light and power service of any town in the State, 'fiie rate for lights will be 10 cents per kilowatt hour, with a 25 per cent, discount provided the bill is paid ia 10 days, \^ich will mske the actual cost to the consumer only 7 1-2 cents. The power irate will be in keeping with the low light rate.
