Washington, Aug. 2s.-Cable ad.
vices today from John Lind, President
Wilson's special peace emissary TO
Mexico, indicated there is still a strong
probability of Provisional President
Huerta accepting President Wilson, g
peace suggestions. Lind's latest note
however, did not confirm reports that
Huerta had accepted the peace plan in
full, but the fact that Lind announced
that he would continue his stay in
Mexico indefinitely is considered en-.
couraging by Washington officials.
The state department this afternoon
made public the gist of the fastest
cable from Lind, It said.
Request Withdrawn.
1.-THE request for an exchange of
ambassadors is withdrawn, but Huer.
ia hopes the president ambassadorial
personnel in Mexico City will continue
until after the October election
1t Is reported here that Huerta ar
gued that President Wilson's request
that Huerta not be candidate for
tho presidency in October constituted
a recognition Of Huerta's provisional
government, The administration. how.
ever, repudiates such an interpreta.
tion.
Huerta's latest note to Lind il is
said, virtually reopens negotiations on
Huerta's counter proposals. The pres.
ident, however, is not building any
false hopes on the latest turn in Mexi.
can affairs, but is waiting anxiously
n
for fuller details from Lind.
Intimates Wilson UNIFORMED.
Huerta's note intimates that Presi.
dent Wilson evidently is unaware that
the Mexican constitution prohibits
president from succeeding himself. or
otherwise he would not have asked
that Huerta pledge himself not to be-
candidate for reelection. President
Wilson insists he is perfectly familiar
with the Mexican constitution. alsb
with the fact that IL is customary FOR
Mexican presidents to resign shortly
ahead Of election day for the purpose
of running. The president, however,
thinks Huerta is seeking a roundabout
way Of giving his pledge not to run
again without losing prestige.

fine Sewing EXHIBIT
Annual Exhibition of the Sewing De-
partment Will be Shown Next
Monday.

What promises to be one Of the best
sewing exhibitions ever seer in the
city of Fargo will be shown at the
high school on Monday, May 5, from
1870 to 6 o'clock. This is the annual
exhibition of th2 sewing department
OF the domestic science department
and the work shown will be an ac-
emulation of the work of about fifty
girls in this department. The last few
years the need of domestic science
has become so apparent hat the
schools all oVer the country have adj
opted these two branches of work
and Fargo has a department far bet
ter than the people of the city realize.
1t is turning out work each day that
would surprise the, greater part of
FargO's citizens.
By having an open house to all
people interested in the work done in
these departments it is the aim CT
those in charge to show the people
Of Fargo what they are doing and
also to nave the people come and so
through the domestic science depart
ment and see what a good chance
their girls have to receive splendid
instruction along these lines. The
cooking department is open only to
senior girls, because Of the close
quarters, but sewing. is open to any
girl student.

Cut work offers one of the most effective
kinds of embroidery for pieces which are
to see real service. 1t is especially recon-
mended for table linens, as, if properly
made, it launders easily and without harm
to itself. ILL.,
The centrepiece shown in the illustration
is oval in form. A firm, closely woven
linen should be selected for this article,
and great care should be taken in making
the lace stitches, so that they remain
firmly in place and do not see-saw when
the linen is cut from under them. This
cutting should be done with extreme care
and very sharp scissors should be used, so
that the edges shall be clean cut and not
rayelly.
For the bars and wheels linen thread
should be used, but for the buttonholing
cotton floss is better. After the lace
stitches are all put in the entire design
should be closely ~buttonholed with close,
regular stitches.
The above pattern can be obtained by
sending 10 cents to the office Of this paper.
