A Good Corn Club Wanted This
Year.
Dear Corn Club Boys ;


Doubtless you have already Sc
cured acre and have it we'll broken
and narrowed thoroughly with the
intention to go through to the end
this year even more successfully
than you did last year. If on ac-
count Of the bad croplast year, you
didn't come out as we'll as you had
planned, or something else hindered
do not be discouraged, but deter
mine to succeed as much as in you
lies. 1t is the honest effort success
fully completed. So far as you can
make it that will mean good for you,
even though the results are not just
what we would like them to be Wis
IDLY. Make up your mind that there
is no such word as failure to the
fellow WHO earnestly tries. Perhaps
there are some who have not quite
made up their minds to join in this
year for some reason or other, if SO,
do not hesitats another minute.
Make up your mind to get in and
stay in to the finish and try to do
your very best to make the best.
showing as to yield, not profit, and
keep notes all during the year so
you can have a good written report
to offer at the end of the year.
Now to all, let me say. give your
name to the nearest teacher or send
it at once to your county school
school superintendent so he can
forward it to me, so | can get it on
the mailing list in order that you
can get the pamphlet of instructions
as soon as possible. Do not neglect
this, attend to it at once. If there
is a demonstration agent in your
county, he will stop bp your school
soon and make yoa talk on corn
growing, and also aid the boys in
any way he can, cooperating with
your county school superintendent
to make the boys corn club mean
the most possible.
If you could have been among
the number who enjoyed the op-
offered by the short cour-
e at the College of Agriculture at
The Lee County journal. (Leesburg, Ga.) 1904-19??, 1913-02-13

Athens the first of January, I am
certain you would put forth every
effort possible to be able to have
this same privilege. Now, / can say
to you that we are doing all we can
to arrange it so at least one boy
from each county in our territory
can have this opportunity. 4 believe
every boy who attended this course
will tell you that thsy derived more
good from being there than several
times that much money in hand.
Then there will be other induce
ments offered to you little later.
Then, do not forget the fact that
causing two ears Of corn to come
from piece Of soil that has been
producing only one, and perhaps
less, should be big inducement to
us as well as the other things that
may be offered on the outside. We
are teaching ourselves what we can
do for ourselves by our own efforts,
and then too, we are showing the
other fellow who does not believe it
can be done.
So then get your name in at once
and when you have started, stay
through tofhe end, and do your
best in the effort.
Assuring you Of my very deep
1 am yours for a good Corn
Club.

MORE SUSPICION
CAUSED BY JAPAN
Said to be Negotiating For
Land in Mexico For
Colony.
LODGE RESOLUTION.
Mexican Situation Intensified by Dual
lssue-Diaz TO Visit Island King
dom.

Tokyo, July 2l,. = The probable
mission of Gen. Felix DiaZ, of Mexico
who is being sent AS special envoy
to Japan, by President Huerta, today
was the subject of general comment
and attention in Tokyo. That there is
an ulterior motive in the coming of
Diaz, is the opinion of Japanese di-
plomats, though they differ in their
statements of that motive
1t is believed by some that Presi-
tdent Huerta is taking this means 10
exile General Daz, his rival, for the
rulership of Mexico, while others pre-
dict that Diaz is coming to negotiate
an alliance between Mexico and ia
pan.
Unofficial rumors' were currenr here
that President Huerta would soon for.
ward Japan formal offer, of $4,000
acres of Mexican Land, asked by the
Japanese for colonization purposes,
and it is possible General Diaz may
convey this offer.
Washington, July q. - Another
tense component to the situation in
Mexico now facing President Wilson
was added today with the unofficial
report received from the southern re-
public to the effect that $4,000 Jap
anese colonists will be granted special
concessions from Mexico to settle in
the province of Morelos. The coloni-
Zation in any of the South or Central
American republics by foreign pow
ers, is disapproved by United States.
Nearly year ago the now famous
Lodge resolution was adopted by the
Senate II was as follows:
Resolved: That when any harbor
or other place in the American CONT
nent is so situated that the occupation
thereof for naval or military purposes
might threaten the communications or
he safety of the United States, the
Government of the United States
could not see without grave concern,
the actual or potential possession of
such harbor or other places by any
government, not American, as to give
that government practical power of
control for naval or military pur-
poses" 9

.HUERTA REGIME I'll !.
NEARING The END
Ambassador Wilson on His
Way to Washington for
Conference. ::
HE MAY NOT RETURN.


Washington, July 21.-Ir was learn
ed toiay that direct information has
come to President Wilson from reli-
; able sources in Mexico to the effect
! that the Huerta government is near
ing a downfall.
With this information coming from
sources upon which the president re-
lies absolutely, is an intimat ation that
the president would not be averse
! 20 hearing more from the revolution
lists constituting the constitutional
ist party under the leadership of
General Carranza. wha. they propose
to DO i: .he event of success in their
attempts to overthrown the present
regime.
Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson,
now on his way to Washington from
Mexico City, will arrive here. ac-
cording to the White House advices,
not later than Friday morning, and
perhaps Thursday evening. His con-
ference with the President and the
Secretary of State will take place
some time Friday.
That it will not be an altogether
pleasant interview is indicated by the
fact that President Wilson has re-
ceived information from the same re-
liable sources. it is said, that the
american representative in Mexico
Ci'y has been openly outspoken in
his opinion that this government
should recognize the Huerta admins
tration.
II view of ;his information. it is
probable that, as result of next Fri
days conference, Mr.. Wilson will not
return to Mexico as the American
Ambassador, and, pending develop
ments hourly approaching complete
dissolution of the Huerta government.
the American legation will be left in
charge of the first secretary, Nelson
O'Shaughnessy.
Not only is the President said to be
disrIeased with the attitude of the
American ambassador, but with the
entire American outfit in Mexico, re-
ports from which have been naislead-
ing and frequently contradictory.
So unsatisfactory, indeed, have the
services of these consuls proved dur
irg thc present Mexican crisis, thai it
is known that the President has been
lately relying almost exclusively on
adviccs from private sources, and, be-
cause of these adviccs, decided to re-
call Mr.. Wilson for the oStensible pur-
pose Of getting personal information
from him regarding conditions be-
low the Rio Grande.
