HAVE HORSES TEETH FIXED.

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside the following advice as to
the care and feeding of horses is Civ
en-:
"One man should do all the horse
feeding. Change of feeders may
mean change of feed or Irregular
ty in feeding. These things cause
collie
Always give the drinking water
before feeding. Always gradually
accustom horse to any change of
feed, and especially to new oats and
new hay. Have the teeth attended
to by veterinarian at least once a
year. Spread the grain out thin in
large, shallow feeding box to pre-
vent the horse from eating too fast.
Allow plenty of time for the perfect
mastication of feed. In hot weather
allow a little drinking water at noon
then feed a pound or so of hay while
the horse is cooling off, then give
more drinking water and then the
full feed of oats"

MEXICO TRIES BLUFF ON u. S. BUT
SPECIAL ENVOY LIND CALLED IT

Mexico City, Aug. 20-The story
of how President Huerta sent an "ul-
timatum" to the United States EN-
bassy Monday night demanding i'm
mediate recognition of Mexico by the
United States was told to-day for the
first time.
President Huerta, in replying to
the note from President Wilson, Of
fering suggestions for the pacifica-
ton of Mexico. rejected all Presi-
dent Wilson's proposals and declar-
ed that the Mexican regime must be
recognized by the United States
within twelve hours.
The Mexican Ministers knew the
contents of the note, having had a
hand in its formation. Acting For
eign Minister Gamboa objected to
the aggressive tone, but War Minis
ter Banquet and Minister of the In
terror Urrutia thought that the tone
of the note was no stronger than the
occasion demanded.
Accordingly, this note, which had
all the qualifications of an interta-
tional ultimatum, was transmitted to
Charge d'Affaires O'Shaughnessy, of
the United States Embassy. Mr.. o.
Shaughnessy and John Lind, the
special envoy from President Will
son lost no time in breaking the
seals, Both were amazed at the ten
or of the note, and the truculent
threats of war unless the United
States recognized Mexico.
Il must see President Huerta at
once" declared Mr.. Lind.
Despite the fact that the special
envoy had not been invited to the
National Palace, being persona non
grata to the Mexican Government
and in spite of the fact that the hour
was nearly midnight Mr.. Lind and
Mr.. O'Shaughnessy jumped into an
automobile and sped to the National
Palace.
Lights were blazing in the presi-
Dental suite so the belated visitors
knew that Huerta was at home, but
was he lat home" in an official sense
to his visitors? That was the i'm
portant question.
Mr. O'Shaughnessy was recognized
by the sentries at the gate, but they
turned questioning eyes upon Mr..
Lind who stood impatiently awaiting
entrance.
ut is official business; we must
enter and see the President" de-
clared the Charge d'Affaires.
After Slight delay the men were
permitted to enter the visitors cham

POWDER YOUR FACE TO MATCH
YOUR GOWN

Grace Margaret Gould, Fashion
Editor of the Womans Home Com
panion, who has twenty pages in the
current issue of that periodical, is
not believer in extremes of fashion;
she wants women to be we'll dressed
but she doesn't want them to look
dressed-up. She believes in women
dressing well, but economically.
Miss Gould reports what the ex-
tremes of French fashion are, and
she frankly laughs at them. The fol-
lowing extract from her report gives
an idea of the length to which the
French extremists in fashion are GO
ing this fall:
Can you imagine what would
happen to reception in your home
town If one of the guests appeared
a symphony in purple, not only from
the tip Of her feather to the toe of
her pump, but with her face purple
too, actually rouged to match the
exact shade of her gown? Yet Paris
Is selling both rouge and powder in
all the latest fashionable fabric
shades and it is stated that to have
the complexion match the gown is
quite the latest fad of the hour"

HARRY THAW ESCAPES
FROM \. !. ASYLUM

Harry Kendall Thaw, slayer of the
famous architect Stanford White, and
who has been confined in the Mattea-
wan asylum for the criminal insane
for several years made a sensational
escape from that institution last Sun
day morning.
Thaw was a trusty and had the
privilege of the asylum yard. When
the guard opened the gate last Sun
day morning for milkman to enter
Thaw rushed past him through the
open gate and jumped into a high
powered six cylinder automobile that
was waiting by the road and escaped.
In less than thirty minutes he was
across the New York State line and
later went to Canada where he is
making hard fight to stay in that
country, 1t is believed, however, that
the Canadian authorities will deport
him into the United States as soon as
possible.
II is a question whether Thaw can
be brought back to New York state
after he is deported to the United
States

T. P. BRANNEN GOES
FREE IN CHEROKEE

From the Cherokee Adyance)
after being out something like 80
minutes the jury returned verdict
of not guilty in the J. P Brannen
case, who was charged with the muir
der of Boy Robertson at Brannen's
store last December. While we SYM
pathize with the family of the de-
ceased, we feel that Mr.. Brannen
was innocent and so spoke the jury
in their belief. The case was cal
led Monday Immediately after the
dinner hour and lasted through
Tuesday. Several witnesses were
put up by the state one of which was
said to be an eye witness but under
rapid cross fire of Judge Morris he
either got tangled or "Disremember-
ed" and when he left the stand after
8 hours of grilling by Mr.. Morris lit
tie faith was pinned to his story. The
defense put up something like rs
witnesses several of which had
known Mr.. Brannen since childhood
and all testified to his good charact-
er. Judge Morris and Col. Ander-
son, of Marietta, and Col. Latimer, Of
Woodstock, represented the defense
while Judge Gober and Col. Walker
were assisting Solicitor Clay, but
from the able way in which Mr.. Clay
handled the case, little or no assis-
lance was necessary. While the
talk of every one that heard Mr.. Nor
ris' speech was that it was one of the
best ever delivered in the Cherokee
Court room and no man could speak
such unless his heart was touched"

Vertis Leming is dead, J. 7. Nc
Elroy is not expected to live, Roy
Harper is badly cut and Fred Harp
er is in Jail as a result of a fight
Wednesday night in which knives
were used with telling effect.
The party had been to church at
New Hope and was walking down
the road, Mr. McElroy accompanied
by his little daughter Ollie, and a
party of young men walking be-
hind. 1t is said that the men be-
gan to talk to each other in teas
ing manner and that one word led
to another until the general fight be.
gan. Knives were drawn and the
small party was soon in a general
mix up in the ditch beside the road.
The fight Wednesday night is said
to have been caused by reference to
former trouble between the partici-
pants but it is impossible to tell
without trial in court just how the
fight began and who was the aggres-
sor.
Thursday morning Mr.. ,McElroy
was reported as having slight
chance for recovery but his wounds
were deep and it was impossible to
make a positive statement as to the
result. He is stabbed four times in
the shoulder and one time in the leg.
One of the wounds in the shoulder
reached into the left lung and caus.
ed internal bleeding.

tered. The president had discarded
his military uniform and was dress
ed in civilian attire.
In spite of the infringement on
diplomatic usage, Mr.. Lind proceed
ed right away to enter upon his dip
lomatic work. He told Huerta of
the disastrous consequences which
must necessarily follow the trans
mission Of the ultimat um to Wash
ington.
So forcefully did he talk that the
hard lines of determination in the
old soldiers face relaxed and he lis
tened patiently with few interup-
tons.
Huerta got up and paced UP and
down the room as he replied. He
said that he believed that the course
of the United States would wreck the
Mexican Government, but that he did
not want to plunge his already i'm
poverished country into war. He
finally consented to cut out the de-
mand for recognition from his re-
ply to the Wilson note, although no
amount Of persuasion could induce
him to alter the balance of the doc
ument.
The note then was transmitted
to Washington. In the meantime DR..
Urrutia, not knowing that the de-
mand for recognition had been
stricken from the reply was telling
the correspondents that an ultima
tum had been served and that
Charge d'Affaires O'Shaughnessy had
been given his passports.
Mr.. Lind said to-day the situation
had improved greatly since his ar
rival.
Though negotiations between John
Lind. personal representative of
President Wilson and Provisional
President Huerta are continuing on
cordial personal basis, neither side
is receding from it's position, and
alternative measures already are I'M
der consideration here. No definite
course has been formulated but the
policy which at present is under con-
sideration, and is most likely
to be adobted is one absolute non-in-
reference.
The Ameriman government under
such a policy would continue to de-
ny arms to both sides, would with
draw Americans from trouble zones,
insist on proper protection to proper
ty and lives, and, in effect, let the
MeXicans continue their controversy
on the battlefield.
The administration is determined
against intervention or war.

Making Farm Lands More Valuable

Writing on the above topic in the
current issue of Farm and Fireside
Harry B. Potter says part:
Alfalfa will pay six per cent. in
terest on 1,000-an-acre land; it is
equal to wheat bran as stock feed;
one acre of alfalfa is equal to six
acres of timathy; where corn will
net $3.50 per acre, alfalfa will net
$50 per acre. Every farmer should
grow some alfalfa.
THAT the statement of A. p.
Grout, for twenty years grower of
this crop, now president of the Illi-
nois Alfalfa-Growers Association. 1t
is not a wild boast for the crop that
Is creating so great interest every
where. 1t is the conservative opin-
ion of one who has made a success.
Mr. Grout is but one OF many who
now realize that alfalfa is a rough
age without known superior, and
that if it can be successfully grown
the farm and the farmer will become
richer,
Alfalfa is waiting for an invita-
ton to every farm in the United
States. Joseph E. Wing, the alfalfa
enthusiast of Ohio, says, 4 do not
hesitate to affirm that alfalfa can be
grown successfully on any farm in
the United States This is the final
wcrd, for Mr.. Wing has seen the
farm lands OF all of the states. and
