place until after the holidays. Secre-
tary Knox is neaving WASHINGTON to-
day for his home at Valley Forge to

intervening time probably will be utili-
zed H. careful preparation of the
American note, which. in a way, is
likely to be Of historic Importance as
marking distinct crisis between two
countries. Officials disclaim that the
note will be an ultimatum. attaching
to that word its technical meaning Of
demand, which must be completely
met hy a specified date. but that the
forthcoming note. while moderate In
terms and dignified in character, will
deal wlsh issues between America and
Mexico m the frmest and most un-
compromising spirit is fully expected.

North Dakota roads can be secured
1t will be necessary to do away with
the present antequated system Of
working out" the road tax. Not only
has this system failed in North Da-
kota but 1t has been abandoned by

net results were poorer instead Of
better roads. The payment Of road
taxes in money to be expended by the

lieved. will be big step in the right
direction. The farmer who pays in

At the last session Of the legisla-
ture the Welo bill. providing that a
county supervisor OF roads may be
appointed was passed as a compro-
mise measure. The matter Of nam
ing county road supervisor was made
optional and only FIVE North Dakota
counties have seen fit to take advant-
age of this law. AS result the law
