AGREEMENT RATIFIED
WILL GO INTO EFFECT

The greensboro Inquirer of Sun
day says;
One of the most important meet
ings held by the Daviess County To-
cal of the American Society of Equi-
ty took place in Greensboro on Fri
day afternoon. The meeting was
held at the court house behind
closed doors. and there was a good
attendance present.
The agreement made at the dis
trict meeting held at Hartford some
weeks ago was ratified. and will be
put into effect in all the counties
throughout the district. The agree
ment is that no one county In the
district will sell and deliver its to-
bacco until all the counties have
sold. This was done because of the
dissatisfaction of the manner In
which the tobacco was disposed of
last fall. by which some counties
sold and delivered their tobacco.
while Ohio county was held back.
and with much difficulty and incon-
venience to the farmers was the
sale finally made.

STORY Or THE BATHROOM
ANENT PRESENT DEOUTH

Concerning the present drouth, a
good joke is told on two of Hart
ford's most estlmable citizens-man
and wife. both elderly people. 1t
happened a few days ago when the
drouth was the general topic and
everybody was wishing for rain.
II seems that a son of the house
hold, after finishing his bath up
stairs after supper, had neglected
to turn a certain faucet off entirely.
This left a small stream of water
running which after awhile flooded
the floor and leaked through into a
room below.
Awhile after going to bed the
good wife was awakened by the
sound of dripping water. which she
took to be rain outside. The news
was too good to lose expression in
words.
THANK the Lord" exclaimed the
grateful wife. as the downpour con
tinued. Her husband awakened
from doZe by her remark replied:
Eyes. praise the Lord, that does
sound good"
Then both were lulled to sleep by
the dripping water. The next

Floyd was accidentally shot and
possibly fatally wounded yesterday
afternoon about 5 O'Clock by Leslie
Thompson, motorman on the
Louisville and Interurban, who was
hunting on Newton Griffeth's farm
near Simpsonville.
Floyd is a cripple. who makes his
living by bottoming chairs. Yester-
day afternoon he was stripping bark
from trees on Mr.. Griffeth's place
for use in his trade. Thompson
saw the branches of the trees shak-
ing and fired at Floyd's hand. which
he mistook for squirrel. The shot
peppered Floyd from head to foot
and three of them are believed to
have penetrated the stomach and
produced internal injuries. He was
removed to his home near Veech-
dale. where he lives with his father
and mother. His condition this
morning, while serious, is more
hopeful. FLOYD is about thirty
years of age and unmarried. Thomp-
son is about forty years old and has
wife and one child His home is
in Louisville. No arrests were
made, as the shooting was plainly
en- accident. The two men are
good friends Of long standing.

I'm Uncle Sans Attitude
Towards Mexico.
SITUATION IS VERY SERIOUS
Sentiment in Congress Drifts
In Direction of Armed
Intervention.
FOREIGNERS DEMAND ACTION

Washington, July 26.-The re-
port of Ambassador Henry Lane
Wilson on the situation in Mexico
which was asked for by the Presi-
dent, was finished this afternoon at
) O'Clock and was sent to the Pres
ident tonight.
The report of Mr. Wilson COM
prises his views rs to an effective
remedy for conditions in Mexico
and this is substantially that the
neutrality laws be strictly and ade-
quately enforced and by that en-
forcement the revolution will disin-
tegrate and peace be restored. This
is the proposition OF Ambassador
Wilson. originally made to the TAFT
administration and which President
Taft adopted by sending a division
of the army to the frontier.
But that the United States must
at once take firm and decided
stand developed to-day at the series
of conferences between Secretary
Bryan, Ambassador Wilson and his
commissioner. Mr.. Del Vale, and
between the Secretary and the For
eign Relations COMMITTEES.
In addition TO the solution offer
ed by the Ambassador. this Govern
ment has left in its final policy the
following alternatives:
Recognition of the Huerta
Government. with the moral sup
port of the United States in restor-
ing order.
Recognition of the Sonora revo-
lutionists headed by Pesqueria and
Mayoutena, as belligerents and sup
porting them against the Huerta
regime.
Intervention, which means war.
Mediation. which Ambassador
Wilson says also means war. as
Huerta will not accept any media
ton.
The conference eliminated. Car
rama as a factor to be considered
in the Mexican situation. All the
reports reaching the State Depart
ment from it's confidential sources
brand Carranza as an impOssibility
for the Presidency, and eliminate
him from the situation so far as
this Government is concerned.
The necessity for this Govern
ment to at least adopt a definite pol
icy does not arise from any change
of conditions in Mexico itself.
What Is now forcing the hand OF
the United States is the attitude Of
the European Governments whose
representatives in Mexico recently
joined in representations against
the long-continued Mexican disor-
ders.
The United States is being warn
ed by both its Official and private
agents that If this Government lon
ger pursues waiting policy, 1t soon
may be face to face with o break
with the world Powers on the Mon
roe doctrine.
Whether the President has
changed his mind within the last
three or four days is not known,
but it is certain that the idea is
crystallizing that Congress itself,
which is the only power having iu-
risdietion of the matter, will order
intervention.

WHAT is HORSEPOWER?

Among many engineers. says
Power" there arises discussion as to
the incidents surrounding the origina-
ton of the term horsepower as ap.
piled to the steam engine. The fol
lowing quotation from "Farey on the
Steam Engine" published In 1927
will be welcomed by many:
The machinery in the great brew
cries and distilleries in London was
then moved by the strength of horses,
and the proprietors of those establish
ments, who we're first to require Mr..
Watts engines, always inquired what
pumber Of horses an intended engine
would be equal to.
''In consequence. Mr.. Watt made
some experiments on the strong
horses employed by the brewers In
London and found that horse OF
that kind. walking at the rate Of Q Ia
miles per hour, could draw $50
pounds avoirdupois by means Of Q
rope passing over a pulley, so as to
raise up that weight, with vertical
motion, at the rate Of 220 feet per
minute. This exertion Of mechanical
power is equal. to $4,000 pounds Cor

Cally through Il space of one foot per
minute, and he denominated II a
horsepower. to serve for a measure of
the power exerted by his steam en-
gines'
This estimate Is much beyond the
capacity of the average strong horse.
Smeaton and other early engineers
estimated that $4,000 pounds per
minute was more accurate.
There also exists confusion in the
minds of some of our readers as to
the amount of power in a kilomatt.
The term "kilowatt" is that used to
represent the unit of power in the
metric system of weights and meas
ures, and 1t is nearly exactly equal
to one and one-third horsepower In
other words. three kilowatts would
equal four horsepower. The term
''kilowatt" is used almost exclusive
ly in the electrical business, except
for motors. which are generally rated
in horsepower. but there is no reason
why a four horsepower motor could
not be called three kilowatt motor.
