MEXICO IS UNABLE
! TO CHECK WARE ARE
OF REBEL FORCES
Constitutional Guarantees
Withdrawn In States
Where Revolt Rages.

The sudden fiaring up of unorganized
revolutions in many districts of Mexi-
co within the past week has led to
proclamation of military law and the
withdrawal of the constitutional guar
antees in the states affected, the state
Department learned today. The situa-
tion now confronting President Madero
is regarded as more serious tfhn at any
time since the rebel General Orozco's
succession of triumphs on his march
against Torreon.
The suspension of the constitutional
guarantees is the most drastic measure
yet adopted by Madero since the revoiu-
tion began. At no time was this dread
weapon of despotism welded against
orozco. his followers, or sympathizers.
The proclamation is reported to the
State Department to be based on the
charge that the revolutionists in all
parts of the republic are violating laws
of civilized warfare, increasingly. This
is the first time the government has
accused Orozco of savagery.
News came to the department today
that Mexico City had scare on July
%. when marauders penetrated the fed
eral district. which at the Mexican cap

long to the fanatical zapatistas, who
for q year have been plundering and
numbering within a few miles of Mexico

of the federal troops to stamp them out.
Early in the spring the Zapatistas wee
apparently quelled, and Madero with

Worlds Best Cow,

BY her ability to produce within {
year nearly her own weight in butter
an Ohio COW has won the crown OF
Queen of the Dairy World. No otheI
COW in the world has produced as
much butter fat in one year as she
did.
The name of this regal COW is
Banostine Belle De Kol, and she is a
tive-year-old Holstein-Friesian in the
herd of Dan Dimmick & Bro, East
Claridon, Geauga county.
During the year she produced a.
4O4.4 pounds of milk testing 1856 per
cent fat. This means over gallons
of milk per day, or enough to supply
Sc families with quart of milk daily,
the usual milk ration of city family.
If made into butter her fat pro-
duction would equal 1,322.925 pounds
of butter or over 31a pounds per day
for 365 days. This is all the more
remarkable because it was made
without her being dry at all before
freshening. No other COW in the
world has ever produced such an
enormous amount of butter fat in a
yearly test and only one other has
ever exceeded Banostine's milk record.
