FINE FALL WEATHER
IS MORE ENJOYABLE

WALT Mason says: "The heat that
makes us gasp and shrivel, and she'll
out comments most unciwil, keeps
corn and beans alive; around in
sweat a fellow sloshes, forgetting
that the Hubbard squaShes, need
heat to make them thrive We all
rear up and rant together, and roast
the blink k-blanked ding dong weathe
and storm around like looms; and
yet this heat, which seldom VARIES,
is helpful to the hucl1lebelries, and
also to the prunes. In arctic
realms sum rays don't sizzle, SO
agriculture is fizzle, there is no
corn or wheat; the natives wish the
sun were blazing, for they are tired
of always raising, cheap polar bears
!, and sleet. T hem let us while pro-
fusely sweating, be in no danger of
forgetting, what's needed by tine
peas; the egg plant, with its hues
of lumber, the onion and the proud
cucumber, and other Things like
| these. And when hot weather
! makes you suffer, don't be a
mournful whining duffer, it's fool
ishness to chafe; just face this
issue bravily, stoutly, and dance
and sing and say devoutly, "Thank
God, the prune crops safe

DISCIPLINE IN GERMANY.
Even the Boys Respect Law and Order
and PranArfv Rinhfa

Even the Boys Respect Law and Order
and Property Rights.
One of the things which apparently
escape the attention of most scrib-
bling travellers in Germany is the dou-
Bile line of fruit trees along the public
roads. There are several thousand
miles of these trees on either side of
public roads in northern Germany.
Most of them are apple trees.
You know what would happen to
those apple trees in any American
state? Boys would pick the fruit
green, too impatient to wait for it to
ripen. and likely enough they would
break down the trees getting the fruit.
What happens in Germany? The pub
lie authorities sell the fruit crop to
contractors at from 5000 to $500 per
mile and apply the proceeds of the sale
to the upkeep of the roads, Boys do
not steal the apples. Nor is it neces-
sary to maintain a policeman every
100 feet to prevent such mischief
Why are the German boys so much
more respectful of property rights than
American boys? Is the difference
racial? l hardly think so. It's diff
ference of training probably I'm in
clined to believe the universal military
training. with its constant strict in
sistence upon obedience to law and Or
der and the strong element Of moral
training in the public school curric-
ulum, added to the knowledge that
offenses against public property will
be promptly and severely punished, ac-
counts for the safety Of the public or
chards which line the roadways of
Germany.
peoples rights seems to be ingrained
In the German character.-Frank Put
nam in National Magazine.

 Senator Lodge charged that the Democrats were trying to treat the Mexican question as a party affair His statement, made in bitter terms followed a declaration hy Senator Ba- con that force meant war"
 "Everything is being done that can be done" Senator Bacon declared, short of using actual force, and force means war. and war is not thing to be rushed into harshly and rashly, nor to be encouraged by incorporate speech at this time"

 In demand that the senate should not pass or consider the resolutions until the foreign relations committee had an opportunity to take them up. Senator Bacon urged that all possible support be given to the president.

Washington, Aug. 16-Although masquerading as Secretary Bryan's "dove of peace" seal, which is being attached to treaties with other na- tions, it has developed that the de sign, copied from an ancient coin. rep resents the war eagle and not coo. ing dove. In addition, the design in cludes the figure of the war god, Zeus, seated on throne with a scep- ter or "big stick in his powerful clasp Bryan adopted the seal as em- hlematic of his desire for world am ity.

sHAW's SLAYER CAPTURED
IS FOUND ASLEEP IN BOxCAR
 WHILE RETURNING HOME.
Says Desire to Own Slain Students Racing Machine Prompted Decd
 Insanity Will Be Defense.

Champaign, H., Aug. 16-Gus Pen man, who is in the Champaign county jail, following his capture at Ridge Farm 12 miles south of Danville, tells frankly the details of how he killed and buried Harold A. Shaw, Univer- sity of Illinois student, to possess himself of Shaw's yellow Mercer rae ing automobile.
 ''I had been drinking-I was drunk and possessed of crazy desire to own Shaw's racing car," he sobbed out. "I shot Shaw twice with my revolver while we were under a tree in my fathers pasture Later I went back and buried him.
 "The ground was awfully hard. I dug in three places before could find spot soft enough.
 q wanted his car because it was fast"
 From the story haltingly told by the youth as the tears coursed down his cheeks and his frame heaved with sobs, it was learned that he had want ed Shaw's car for some time and had made an appointment to meet him in Philo last Sunday evening.
 Urged on by his insane desire to own the car, he shot Shaw, then re- turned home and told Henson he had purchased the car for $1,350, and that Shaw had gone on a vacation trip, starting from Villa Grove.
 He took Henson to his home in UT bana, returned to the spot where he slew Shaw; obtained a spade from neighbor at a. m. Sunday, and, drag for a spot soft enough to permit his digging shallow grave, and finally buried him in hazel thicket.
 Penman says he then returned the spade and started for Danville, where he was arrested for not having the tail light burning, Being released by the police, after placing the car in a garage, he hurried to the Big Four depot and rode the blind baggage" of the midnight train to Indianapolis.
 Continuing to Cincinnati, intending to go to Argentina he claims his mem- ory cleared and he began to realize the enormity of his crime.
 Going to Hamilton, O., he wrote a message on a postal card addressed to himself at Philo, H., hoping to de. lay pursuit until he could return home and unburden his heart to his parents before surrendering
 He was found asleep in a Clover Leaf boXcar at Ridge Farm, while making the return trip Fear of a hostile demonstration by friends of Harold Shaw when his murderer was brought to the Champaign county jail proved groundless.
 "I am glad l am here,' said the prisoner. ''l will get some sleep at last. l have not slept since last Fri. day night"
 States Attorney Busch will demand the death penalty. Robert Penman will use his wealth in an effort to save the life of his son.

 Make a Senate Speech.

Washington, Aug. 16,-Senator Pen rose forced another debate on the Mexican situation by introducing resolution calling upon President Wil- son to inform the senate whether Will liam Bayard Hale is in Mexico City as the agent of any executive depart ment of the government, if so, by what authority he was appointed ani what compensation he has been given The White House explanation of Hales presence in Mexico has been that he was there as a personal friend of President Wilson forwarding in- formation.

 Senator Penrose declared he had no desire to further complicate a deli cate situation or to indulge in jingo- ism. He referred, however, to dis patches from Mexico telling of the se- rious plight of Shirley c. Hulse, son ln-law of Lieut.. Gov. Reynolds of Pennsylvania, who, with his wife and little daughter, is believed to be in danger from revolutionists near the city of Chihuahua. The senator de clared that unless the mission of John Lind developed marked change in con dftions in Mexico he would address the senate next week, laying before it certain information not yet disclosed.
 Threatens to Make Speech.
 Things are getting pretty close to home" declared Senator Penrose, land are becoming serious when American citizens are molested and their lives and property endangered. Personally 1 am willing to wait few days to see if the mysterious mission of MT. Lind produces any tangible re- suit. Tn the event that 1t does not, early next week I expect to address the senate on conditions in Mexico and will offer resolution which hope will go some way toward assert Ing the dignity of the United States and it's firm intention to protect the lives and property of Americans in Mexico
 Penrose asked Chairman Bacon of the foreign relations committee if he would reveal the status of Hale.
 T decline to answer" replied Sen ator Bacon.
 Declining to answer will not con- tinue to be satisfactory to the senate or to the people of the country" re- joined Senator Penrose.
 Hale, Penrose declared, has been active in Mexico City conveying the impression that he is the representa- tive of President Wilson," and had been in conference with Find since the envoys arrival
 Would End HaIe's Connection.
 Senator Penrose added that he had known Hale several years and that he left Ardmore, Pa, about 13 years ago under circumstances which he need not more than mention"

ADVISED TO TAKE A REST.

One OF the results of the confer
ence between Pres. Wilson and Am
bassador Wilson that has become
known is that the president has ad-
vised the ambassador 10 take a rest.
The Ambassador has been subjected
TO long nervous strain and the presi-
dent is apprehensive of the conse-
quences.
In diplomatic language the sug-
gestion OF a cessation Of labor and
care means putting the ambassador
down and out by easy stages. In
diplomacy harshness and abruptness
are avoided as much as possible. Like
a symphony In music the process
meanders by paths that are smooth
and pleasant and leads naturally and
easily 10 the climax. There is no
shock.
Ambassador Wilson doubtless was,
or at least should have been. prepared
10 pass through a process of this kind.
HIS tactless interviews on landing in
New York indicated that he knew he
had reached the beginning OF the end

for the administration and its policy
toward Mexico. So far out OF har-
mony with Pres wilson's ideas was
Ambassador Wilson that ii was impos-
sib.e for him 20 continue 20 represent
this government
The point OF divergence in the views
OF ae president and his ambassador
rests on a moral question. The am
bassador would forget the past, let
bygones be bygones and accept the
Huecta government for better or
worse, attaching no condition except
.ertain pledges to the United States.
The president cannot reconcile such
A policy with his sense Of right and
