Near Tarkio. Mo., Is the largest tillable farm In the I'nlted states, the property of four children of th- late David Rankin. It contains 23 000 acres and last year there were under cultivation 14.000 acres ecrn, 3,000 each in wheat and oats and 1.500 In alfalfa. At $125 acre the land alone Is worth almost $3,000,000. The profit on the entire rami Tor one year recently was $10 000. The farm mi. keg a specialty came, for which practically all the grain grown is used. Five thousand cattle were fed on the farm last year. It was a theory of David Ran kin. and It la being adhered to m the operation of the farm today mat many rarniers sell too muc raw material and not enough of the finished product. To an inquirer he said once: I find it profitable reed corn, and I gain an Immense amount of fertilizer. Thus I leave my farm as rich as I found it Horsts and mules are not permit ted to grow old on the Rankin farms. Every year a sale is held there where every horse and mule that has reached a respectable age le disposed of. Practically every year the stables are filled with fresh .population of work animals, Insuring the maximum efficiency, At the last sale 35? horses and mules were sold and the proceeds of the sale netted more than $25, 000. Buyers come hundreds of nil He ' to Tarkio to attend these sales. No manufacturing concern America keens closer tab on Its lus tiness than do the Kankln farms. In a little office about 12x14 feet, In (be rear of the First National Bank of Tarkio, two clerks and an adding machine are busy with books from one years end to the other. The farm Is divided into 10 ranches ranging from 640 to 4,760 acres Five ranches are operated en a part nershlp basis, the owners furnish lag the land against the labor of the partners. A record of every transaction on the farm is kept at the central of flee. Not a pound of soap, not box of matches is bought without a requisition, signed by the foreman if the farm Is operated, directly, or by the partner If the farm in op erated on the partnership plan. Each foreman pnd partner must submit ta monthly report,. ;htch is virtually an inventory or the whole area and stock and machinery. When the books are balanced at the close cf the year a statement Is made Just as complete fa any business cor poration could submit. The farm is not as large by more than z.ooo acres as It was when David Rankin died In 1009. One thousand oerca'vere sold last sum mer and 1,000 acres a year ago. One of the axioms of David, Rankin was: "Never sell the farm," But the heirs of Mr. Rankin are trying to make the farm nr. re compact, so that it can bo operated with greater economy. Eventually it will prob ably be reduced to abcut 15,000 acres and dMd.ed among the four heirs ttiX'FKREXCK APPOIXTMKXTS.

Juarex, Mexico, Nov. SO Gen Francisco Villa, Constitutionalist eemmacder, today said that north era Mexico, embracing the Statts of Ssnora, Chihuahau, Coahulla, Nue vo 'Leon and Tamaullpas, and In eluding the territory from the bor der to a line 500 miles southward In two weeks will be wholly under the authority of the rebel forces. The forces which are fighting Huerta then will Join at Guadalajara with a vUw of marching on to Mexi co City. This campaign, be said contemplated not only the capture of Chihuahua City but also the spreading of the constitutionalist au thorlty farther south. He is to be joined In the Interior later by Gen enustiano Carranza, head of the revolutionary movement. So far as the north Is considered Villa said the campaign Is between 14,500 Federal troops, mostly In gar risons and, 20,300 rebels or Consti tutionalists in garrison and roam ing the country. The approximate strength of the opposing forces In the north, as gathered from official sources by Villa and made known by him today is: At Guaymas, Sonora, 3,000 Feder a troops commanded by Pedro Ojeda. At Chuahua Clty, 5,000 Federals commanded by Gen. Salvador Mer- cado. At SaltlUo and Monclova, Coa hulla, 3,000 Federals. At Monterey, Nuevo Leon, 2,000 Federals. Scattered, 1,500 Federals. Opposing the Federals and their posts are: At Buaymas, Sonora, 5,000 rebels under command of Gen. Carranza. At Juarex and enroute to Chi huahua City, 5,800 rebels command ed by Villa. South cf Chihuahua City, 5.500 rebels commanded by Gen. Manuel Chao. Scattered and at other cities 8,- 000 rebels. In preparation for the attack on Chihuahua City, 3,600 troops with 16 machine guns and equipment which filled three trains had left Juarex up to today and had reached a point 50 miles south. Villa expects to Join his men with' in a few days and if possible to ke. p open a train and telegraph servlea behind. He said he would be in Chihuahua City within 10 days. The capture of that city, he in sisted, will be only an Inclden't of a further advance later In conjune- ti .n with Carranza and other rebel leaders. We will nio.ve on to Mexico city," x ma al. That Is . our destination. The troops now in So nora will move southward attnek Ing Guaymas on the way. Those n-.w centered, around Mctorla w move southwest, while I will go right through the heart of the coun try. On the way I will take Chihua hua. Then I will join the eastern and western wings of our army at Guadalajara. Combined we will march to Mexico City." Chihuahua City has been cut off from communication for more than two weeks. At that time it was said the Federal forces had made every preparation to oppose the rebel at tack. Almost all the food supplies have been exhausted. Mr. W, J. Cl-OH ell's Automobile (im s lii Smoke, Charlotte Observer. Igniting so swiftly that the negro cnauffeur had to leap for his life, a rour-pessenger, four-cylinder Caddi! lac car belonging to Mr. W. J. Crow ell made a rousing bonfire on the Sloan's Fcny road five miles west of the city at 6:30 o'clock last night. Ben Stilts, the sole occupant of he car, wag bringing It to this city from n trip to the vicinity of the river when without warning things began to happen. "I smelt the flre-and started to locate It," said hatless nen. "Bui It found me first. That fire swlng- d my face before I could get out. I didn't have no insurance on my self and I went from there. I run mine last Saturday to investigate me accident by which the two youn men, Messrs. Bowden and Crow, lost .their lives in the early hours Sun day before last. With Coroner Fly icr, ,who had promptly held an in quest and examined, witness s Imme diately after the accident. Air. Ship man went into the mine and mad a thorugh investigation cf the situ atlcn and the probable way in which the men lost their lives. While the story as given last week of how the accident occurred is probably c?rrect, some more details of Interest may be given. The shaft Is timbered from top to bottom, with a petition in the middla making two passage ways to the bottom,, a bucket working In each side. At the bottom the w&Ur stands about 90 feet deep and from the surface of the water to the top of the shaft is a distance of about 265 feet. When the pump at the bottom went wrong Mr. Bowden went down to see what was wrong Across the shaft is a heavy piece of timber, the ends cf which slide In a grove or tract running down the sides of the shaft. The object of this timber, which Is known as tne DM let, Is to kep the bucket from swinging against the sides as it goes down. The billet rests upon a clamp on the cable several feet about the bucket. As the cable runs through a hole in the' billet, the bucket can go on down even If the billet, which Is supposed to. folio the bucket down the shaft, should get hung on its ends in the grove and, stop. This Is what happened About fifteen feet from the water the billet got caught and th? buck et slid right on through. After 1 had gene some distance H slipped and followed the bucket down This time the clamp on the cable held, tight and checked the billet, but the jar was so great that Mr. Bowden was thrown cut of the bucket Into the water below, where he was drowned. When Mr. Crow went down the billet caught again at the same point In Its track, and the bucket slid on through. The Wounds of Mr. Crow showed that he looked up to se what was the matter with the billet and that Just then it Bllpped. But the clamp this time on the cable gave way, and the heavy piece of oak timber with its Iron clasps, smnohed nun gquare-.ln- tlA face. ,When Mr. Mc- Murry. the windlass man, gave th; alarm and the next man went down he went down the other shnft and reached the bottom safely. .Mr. Crow had been urged to go down this shaft, but as ths men then did not know how the billet would catch at certain point, he decided that if he went down very slowly he would be able to see any danger that existed. When the empty buck t was brought up after Mr. llowdeii fell out. the billet slipped back in its proper place on the cable, Mr Shlpman found no new evidence or ny Indication of negligence. It was simply such nn accident ns could not be foreseen. to a house to 'phone and while I was talkln' the car shot two or three times and, dat dere horn was blowln".' The machine bnck-flred. The fire evidently caught under the floor and throve on the g reuse whkh was around the motor. The blaze spread swiftly and soon the entire machine was a seething furnace. In response to Ben's telephonic hurry call, Mr. Crowcll and a num ber of others piled Into a car here and drove to t ho scene at a breath taking pace. The place was soon reiehed, but there was nothing to do except to watch the lurid work of tstructicn. The car will be a to tal wreck. Mr. Crowe!! had had the car. a 1912 model, about two years. He said it was insured for $1,000, pro vided, the policy was still In force. few hours before the accident a man had tried to swap him a farm for It.

Charlotte Observer of Sunday. Ono of the most brutal killings ia the annaU of this city occurred in the late hours 6f yesterday after noon when Mr. B. B. Carter, a con tractor, was killed with a fuot-adz. Ilj was nil in the top of the head four limes with the dangerous tool and the whole top of his skull was .hopped to pieces. Four men. John McQuarv. Nick Jonnson, James Griggs and Brady .vc.xeiis were arresttd and are held without ball pending the Investiga tions which continued practically all of lust night. The police have learned that these four nun, in connection with Carter, were In the hitter's room at 308 West Sixth s reet over Urier's liv ery stubl?. Strong clues point to ward two of the men while the other two are being held as im portant witnesses and in the hope that they will make sure the strong chal'i nf c-lrciimshimljil ei iil.iu- which has been built up by the of-Hne leU anJ nilt ' Ule "ar fleers since the victim was found L. NlXt enured Miss Pearl Nane in a dying condition. The officers have secured the foot adz containing clotted, blood and patches of hair, which leaves no doubt as to the weapon' with which Carter was killed. It was said to be his own tool. The officers believe that the blow was struck from behind and that the first blow caught the unfortu nate man while he was not looking. The gash is just about level w:.h the top of the ears but is almost straight Inward. Three other gash es In opposite sides of his head, on a level with the others, almost complete a square some four or five ituhes In size. Almost' the entire t'-.p of the head was chopped off. The remarkable part of the kill Ing Is the fact that though Carter was struck at about 4 o'clock In the afternoon, he lived in this con dition until 11 o'clock last night; that from 4 o'clock until 7 o'clock or a little later, hs received no niet'- loal attention. That he was not Instantly killed is hard to imagine. A THEORY ADVANCED. The theory Is advanced that who ever struck the blows did not strike all of them at the same time; but struck the first one, and knowing that If Carter recovered there would be a serious affair, returned upon hearing' flit, groans' ' flhtT to" make sure cf the-deed, struck him sever al more times. The positions of the blow would Indicate this. If this be so, it is without doubt one he most brutal tragedies In thei his tory of the city. The men who are being held were carpenters and painters for tha most part, Nick Johnson, however, being a cutter in a local pants factory. Of the crowd, Johnson lived In one of the apartments adjoining and Brady McNeils lived, Just across the hall from the unfortunate man. This U the fourth killing in II' diys, the others being Minnie Springs, a negro iJrl who was Kill-j d on the afternoon of the IStli; Mack Powell, a negro man; Sam Grant, a negro, and Carter.
