Mexico City, Nov 13.-General Vic
toriano Huerta tacitiy refused last
Eight to accede to the demands OF the
United States. expressed in an ulti-
matum sent to him by President Will
sons personal representative. John
Lind.
General Huerta was notified early
in the day that unless he returned an
answer by O'Clock to the effect that
he would prevent the newly-elected
Congress from convening and, further
more, make this action known to
the diplomatic corps by midnight, the
United States would have no further
parleying with the Mexican govern
ment
Lind waited until 6 O'Clock and re-
ceived no answer He then made ar
rangements for his departure on the
train leaving for Vera Cruz at
O'Clock 1t was announced, however,
that General Huerta had one chance
more-that If he took the action de-
manded by midnight the fact that he
failed to reply to Lind within the time
specified would be overlooked. Lind
could see no good reason to suppose
that Huerta intended to accede.
Nelson 'Shaughnessy. the charge.
was the messenger who delivered the
ultimatum. He was unable to get into
personal touch with General Huerta
but left the message at the Presidents
office
1t was intimated at the palace that
General Huerta had not received the
note in time to give it full consider
alton. This, however, did not appear
to Lind valid excuse for procrasti-
nation.
The prevention of the convening OF
Congress has been one essential point
in the negotiations conducted by
Lind. There were two reasons for
this: first, it was thought that the
new Congress would lose no time in
passing measures having to do with
the oil concessions; and, second, be-
cause the convening of Congress
would give an air of legality to the
Huerta government

Hollene, New Mexico.-"Our little
boy first broke out in little yellow
blisters about the size OF pin heads
and they itched and hurt SO badly he
could not rest day nor night In few

large as a dollar. He had them all
over his body and was nearly tortured
to death, as they hurt him SO badly he
could hardly sleep. He would scratch
and cause great sores all over his
face and legs.
I'VE tried several highly recon-
mended remedies but they didn't seem
to help him a bit. Nothing seemed to
do any good until we got Cuticura

U. s. WILL COOPERATE.

The United States government has
recognized the splendid value Of the
work that the Better Farming asso-
citation Is doing in North Dakota and
Will cooperate with Secretary Cooper
and his assistants. This is h i'm
portant Information that The Forum
makes public this evening.
The better farming idea has attract
ed attention all oven the nation and
many states have copied the idea or
some features Of it. 1t will mean a
great deal to the agricultural inter
ests Of the state to nave Uncle Sam
with his splendid organization taking
part in the work.
The better farming work should he
taken up by every county in North
Dakota. There are so many ways in
which farming methods can be i'm
proved by the assistance Of these
trained experts that 1t would seem
that no argument would be necessary
to get every county Interested and yet
there are many sections which have
not yet taken up the idea.
Secretary Cooper and his men get
added authority. They are now repre-
~sentatives of the federal government
and will be enabled to accomplish
much more for the advancement of
good farming. The department Of ag-
riculture has made a thorough study
Of soil, weather and general crop con-
ditions and will be able to furnish
much valuable data along this line
for use in carrying on the movement.
