It lb not merely a question of popu-

Chicago.—A remarkable story of
the career of "Pancho” Villa, the
rebel general of Mexico who recently
-captured Torreon and who is known
as Mexico's- greatest fighting man, was
told to Chicago. The narrator was
Robert Anderson, 127 Sheldon street,
• who for seven years has lived in Tor-
reon and who is waiting here for the
chaos to subside before he returns
. to “The Chicago of Mexico.” •
.01 Mr. Anderson’s story deals with
four chapters’in the Mexican fighter's
. life. It tells of Villa the peaceable
farmer; of Villa the avenger of a
wronged sister, of Villa the bandit,
and of Villa the general. The- narra-
tive,as related by Mr.'Anderson-fol-
lows:
ta The Young Farmer.
In a fertile valley among the hills-
that surroynd the Mexican city of
Torreon there lived fifteen yean ago
a sturdy .young farmer whose efforts
suported his aged parents and two
sisters, both younger than himself.
The ranch was small, yet then was
none in all Durango more productive.

til 5 o’clock in the afternoon, with an
our for lunch. For overtime a price
and a half must be paid and - the
rural worker may—and often does—-
decline to work ■ even at this price.
How this- affects conditions, particu-
larly at harvest time and during other
periods of strenuous agricultural ae-
tivity, the farmer will readily see. It
ispne of the reasons for the slow de-
velopment of Australia’s agricultural
resources.' Because in rural districts,
for various reasons, wheat was han-
dled by non-union laborers, the union
workers in the cities to which it was
shipped for sale, labeled it "black
wheat” and refused to unload it. The
result was a loss tot the farmer, an
added reason against agricultural de-
velopment. The farmer in Australia
in the commonwealth’s, present-day
politics plays second fiddle, to the' city
laborer. ' " "
Capital Shy of Australia.
Strickland Gillilan, America's charm-
ing humorist', said that in England ho
myeh was thought of humor that it
was spelled with , an extra "u." In
Australia so much is thought of labor
that it is spelled with an extra “u”
and a capital "L". The good that la-
■bor organizations and labor legislation
have brought in Australia has not
been nmixed with evil. As popula-
tion haa not largely increased nor
been widely distributed, so .capital—
the money needed for men to make
great the commonwealth—has been
difficult and, in some cases, impossi-
ble to secure. Australian public ex-
penditure, state and federal, has in-
creased far out of proportion to in-
erease in population, whether Lberal
or Labor party was in control. Aus-
tralian officials, asking for new loan*
or the renewal of old loans, are famil-
iar figures in the London money mar-
ket. Foreign capital does not seel?

There was a certain young mags-

Villa disliked intensely. Word came
to “Pancho” at length that this magis-
trate was seen ogling his elder sister.
Later Villa detected the pair in a
clandestine meeting. In a rage he

commanded 'her to cease .her friend-

She had become infatuated with the
wealthy young nun
At the morning meal nextday the
elder sister was missing. A search of
the house failed to reveal her. "Pan-

then, that the young magistrate, too,
had disappeared. The pair had eloped.

spoke to, th* man of the church. There
was that, in the speaker'* eyes which
made the priest obey.
In pilence they rode rapidly off into
the hills, where Villa was confident
his sister and the young magistrate
had gone. An hour before nightfall
they struck the elopers' trail. Push-
ing on, despite the darkness, "Pan
Cho” and the priest came upon the
couple in a camp they had pitched in
a sheltered nook
Villa said no word, but drew his re-
volver. The fellow trembled at the
sight of the irate brother. “Pancho”
turned to the priest.
“Marry them," he ordered sharply.
