United States Ready to Invade Mexico

II Is a significant fact 10 connection
with the continued turmoil In Mexico
that the war college Of the United
States army has Just worked out a
complete plan for the invasion OF that
country. It's sincerely to be hoped
that the United States never will
have to resort TO this extreme meas.
ure, but It Is as we'll to remember the
words Of the old saying: "In times OF
peace. prepare for war;"
The war office has decided that In
case OF invasion Mexico shall be en-.
tered from three points. One section
Of the army would be shipped on trans.
ports, conveyed by section Of the
South Atlantic fleet, to the vicinity
Of Vera Cruz, where It would be landed
under the protection Of the navy's
big guns. II necessary the dread
naughts would shell Vera Cruz and
completely reduce IL within six hours.
Once landed, this division OF the
army would move on Mexico City. fol.

Alkali In the Soil and How to Handle ii

Alkali and seepage are a serious
problem confronting the irrigated
lands Of this western country. Alkali
Is not injurious In most cases unless
seepage shows up in the land. From
the standpoint Of plant growth alkalis
are Of two kinds, commonly called
white and black alkali. With white
alkali there is associated three ele.
ments Uf plant tfo0d-potassium, phos.
phoric acid and nitrogen, White
alkali contains common salt and Glau.
ber's salt.
The black alkali contains sal soda
and is Injurious to plant life. In order
to find out the kind of alkali your soil
con tains, a. chemical analysis Is the
surest way. A study of conditions
that are bringing the alkali to the
surface will show the methods that
must be adopted to Offset them. Al.
kali salts come about in two ways
drst, 10 the water from irrigation,
seepage or underground flow, or in de.
posits OF alkali in the soil that are
brought up by capillary movement.
The deeper the alkalis are buried the
less chance they have to reach the
surface. The extent and quantity
varies In the same field, the low de.
pressions showing the most. Some.
times alkali will show up on hillsides,
but you will generally find that par
ticular spot Is underlaid with an i'm.
pervious layer Of soil and most gener-
ally Is seepy and the water crops out
or comes near the surface.
The most dangerous problem to
combat with alkali is seepage and
only a study Of local conditions will
solve the problem. The problem is to
get rid Of the alkali salts and get the
land in shape to grow crops. How
best to do this is the puzzle. Often

HUGE EXPRESS PROFITS.
Figures Total s2e4,o43,2s5, and Net In
come on Assets Of $4,000 900.

Washington. Feb. s. - One Of the
most striking documentary exhibits
ever filed with the interstate COM
merce commission was that submitted
by Attorney Frank Lyon as part of
the record in the express rate inves-
tigation. 1t shows the enormous prof
its of the nine principal express com
panies and undoubtedly will have
great influence with the commission
in determining what reductions shall
be ordered in charges.
The record shows that the gross re-
ceipts of the express companies for
the period covered was S795, 1905, T21
half Of which was paid to the rail
roads. The net profits Of the express
companies were 1924 ,043,2S5, and the
total dividends paid amountedl to
S212 ,0Sj, ,392 These enormous profits
were made on property and equip
ment valued on June 80, 1911, at only
$26,065,711.
In addition to the dividends declar
ed, the companies hold in their treas
uries SSl ,957 1913, a large proportion
of which ii is alleged, has accrued
as the result of overcharging the pub
lie and from dividends and Other
funds which were not paid, as the

Great Britain Newspapers and People
Pay Loving Tribute.


London. Feb. S.-The centenary of
the birth of Charles Dickens occupies
hundreds OF columns in the newspa

tributes are eulogistic. reminiscent and
anecdotal.
1t was intended at first to have serv
ices at various places made famous by
the great novelist, but these were aban-
doned on account of the recent death
of Alfred Tennyson Dickens, the son
OF Charles Dickens, in New York.
Many wreaths were sent to West
minister abbey and placed on the grave
of the immortal writer in the poets
corner"
Great crowds visited the tomb OF
Dickens. One OF the most interest,ng
visitors to the grave was the Rev. Ed

the Dickens club OF Boston to lay II
tribute on the grave.
