from Managua, received by the state de-
partment today. In the absence of Spe-
cific information on the subject this fact
seems to indicate that the Mexican gov
eminent is actively cooperating with the
United States in its aggressive policy to-
ward the Zelaya faction in Nicaragua.
Governor Creal of the state of Chihua-
hua, who is in Washington as the person.
al representative of President Diaz of
Mexico, will have an interview with Sec
rotary Knox at 8 o'clock tomorrow, when
it is assumed he will more clearly define
the attitude of the Mexican government
toward Nicaragua than has hitherto been
done. 1t is not thought at the state de-
partment. however. that Governor Creel
will submit any proposition to the Ameri-
lean government antagonistic to it's de-
clared attitude towards Zelaya and his
administration.
The state department is without infor-
nation regarding the attempt of Zelaya
Rama to make an attack upon BluefieldS.
In absence of information it is assumed
that the attempt if ever contemplated has
not yet been made.

NO smAsHUPs IN HOLLAND.
Only One Passenger Was Killed Dur.
lna Past Year.

Recently I read in an English news
paper statement that there had been
but. one passenger killed ON the rail-
roads Of Holland during the past fiscal
year. and the paper, commenting on
this fact, suggested that American rail.
roads would find In this example some
thing to emulate. It is easy enough
to understand how the mortality from
accidents would be comparatively
small in Holland after one travels
upon some Of the trains in that coun-
try, for they are exasperatingly slow.
and the people do not seem to be i'm
bued with the American desire to get
to their destination quickly. no matter
what the cost.
Yet there are other considerations
besides slow speed which must be
borne in mind in determining the rea-
sons why railroad travel is so much
safer in Holland than in America. the
excellence of roadbed, equipment and
management being prime factors. The
cars used on the Dutch railroads are
practically the same as those found
elsewhere in Europe, and for short
Journeys are very comfortable. and
are characterized by the same scrupu.
lous cleanliness which is found In
everything in that carefully groomed
country.

BUTTER MAKER AND
MANAGER
True Spirit OF Cooperation Must
PrevaiI-By j. j. Farrell,
Minnesota.

am asked to say q few words In
relation to the creamery manager and
the buttermaker.
Dairying is one of the greatest, II
not the greatest, industries in Ameri.
ca, when we consider all the products
OF the dairy, Of which ALTERNATING
is the greatest.
First, will draw q comparison of
the things that are rural, as the local
or cooperative creamery. whichever
the case may be, is located mostly in
our rural districts, towns and villages,
and the value of their annual output
of butter varies from $4,000 to $780,
900 and $4,000.
Such a business not only needs a
manager but ability, as well. We will
first look into the affairs of our towns
and villages whose annual. disburse.
ments vary from $1,000 to $4,000 for
their maintenance, including public
improvements and identifying the sur
roundings.
We will look at the management
of these towns and villages, which
usually consist Of mayor or presi-
dent, clerk or secretary, councilmen
or trustees, however they may be des-
ignated, all of whom are elected by
the people to serve the people to the
best of their ability, and If this ability
Is lacking or their services are negli-
gent, they are called to an accounting

In many cases the unworthy are cast
aside, and in some cases the worthy
are also cast aside; but the communi-
ty pays the penalty, whether good or
bad.
The creamery, whether Independent,
cooperative or central plant, as an
organization, is much the same as q
commonwealth in form. The local
creameries' disbursements are small,
while their net earnings are large and
profitable to their patrons and COM
munity.
Any organization that handles from
$4,000 to $4,000, and in a number of
cases $4,000 to 100000 of a butter
product annually. should have a man.
ager. whether he be a>> buttermaker,
dairyman or merchant He should be
fully qualified for the position, and to
that end he must have keen insight
into the business in all its branches.
It is unnecessary for me to go into
detail in this short time. It is enough
to say, he should be educated in the
science Of butter making, and should
have broad knowledge Of dairy farm.
