WaBhlngtOn, -. e., Aug. lo.-Senae

the Mexican situation today by intro.
tucing resolution calling on Presi-
dent Wilson to inform the senate
whether William Bayard Hale is IN
Mexico City as the agent OF an execu-
tive department OF the government, II

and what compensation he has been
given. The white house explanation
OF Hale's presence In Mexico has been
that he was there as a personal friend
OF President Wilson, forwarding IN
formation.
Senator Penrose declared that he
had no desire to further complicate q
delicate situation or to indulge In
jingoism He referred, however, to
dispatches from Mexico telling Of the
serious plight Of Shirley G. Hulze, Son
in-law Of Lieut.. Gov. Reynolds OF
Pennsylvania, who with his wife and
little daughter are 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-
ditions in~Mexico, he would address
the senate next week, laying before It
certain conditions he did not disclose
today.

Things are getting pretty close to

are becoming serious when American
cttd1ens are molested and their lives
and property are endangered.

sion OF Mr.. Lind PRODUCES Any tansi-

Mr.. Penrose asked Chairman Bacon
OF the foreign relations committee, II
he would reveal the status of Hale.
Il decline to answer" replied Sena-
tor Bacon.
''Declining to answer will not con,

or to the people OF the country" re-
Joined Senator Penrose.
Hale, Mr.. Penrose declared, had
been active in Mexico City, conveying
the impression that he is the repre-
sentative Of. President Wilson," and
had been in conference with Mr.. Lind
since the envoy's arrival.
Senator Penrose added he had

showing was much less than two years
ago this same day.
Tops in the swine trade at North
Portland went to 81 80 during the
morning business. Trading was ac-

and the movement was brisk. Both
local and northern buyers took sup

DRESSING HOGS.
Temperature Of Water for Scaldlnq
Must Be Just Right.

Temperature OF Water tor ScaldInq
Must Be Just Right.
1t is an easy matter to dress hogs
neatly provided the temperature OF
the water is just right, The water
for scalding should be heated to a
temperature Of 200 degrees F. On a
farm where it must be heated in the
house. usually it should be boiling
when removed from the stove. If
turned into cold barrel it will then
be about the right temperature, 1856 to
1875 degrees, when the hog is ready to
grees will scald a hos, but more time
will be required and the results are
not so satisfactory. 1t is not expected
that a thermometer will always be
used, but boiling water carried from
the stove to cold barrel out of doors
will usually be at about the right tenn
perature for scaldiug when the hog is
put in the barrel unless there, is un.
necessary delay. ..
A small shovelful of hard wood
ashes, added to the water, aids ma
terially in removing the scurf from
the body, although it has no effect
in loosening the hair. A lump of
lime or handful of soft soap will
have the same effect on the scurf
While being scalded the hog should
be kept moving constantly to avoid
cooking the skin. AS soon as the hair
and scurf slip easily from the sur
face, scalding is complete. If it is
that the water is too hot,
scald the hind end of the hog first;
If too cold, the front end. in order to
always get good scald on the head,
which is difficult to clean.
The scraping should begin just as
soon as the hog is removed from the
water and the more rapidly it is done
the easier it will be. The head and
feet should be cleaned first, as they
cool quickly. A small hand candle
stick" scraper is very convenient
;ool for the purpose. It may be pur-
chased at almost any hardware store
or from 25 to 35 cents.
After removing the hair from the
,ody the hog should be hung up and
insed with hot water and then with
old, scraping down with sharp |
.nife to remove all hair and scurf |
rom the body.--Andrew Boss, Uni |
ersity Farm, st. Paul. |
