honored by President Wilson. He has
selected the Hon. John Lind to go to
Mexico as his representative to AXE
stock of the conditions existing in that
country and to report direct to him.
Later on he undoubtedly will be Sc
lected as our minister to that country,
and 1T is safe to say that an ADLER or
better man could not be found to fill
that delicate mission.
Delano Eagle: This is a distinguish
ed both to Mr.. Line and to the
state of Minnesota. We hope. how
ever, that President Wilson has not
gotten mixed up on the linguistic ac-
eo~mplishments of the ex-governor. It
isn't Spanish that he speaks, and we
doubt If there are many of the other
kind in the Huerta cabinet.

MINNESOTA PRESS
ON JOHN LIND,

.Waseca Herald-President Wilson
used good judgment in selecting form
er Gov. John Lind to straighten out
the Mexican tangle. Homes John
Lind will give all sides a squart deal
and adjust all questions without fear
or favor. We miss u guess If the
shot-headed Mexicans do not regard the
United States in a more favorable
light after they become acquainted
with Mr.. Lind.
Renville Star armer-The presi-
lent has appointed our own John Lind
/ as q special ambassador to Mexico!t We
| are in hopes this country will not
take Mexico too seriously and get in
to entangling alliances that might lead
up to war and annexation. If we had
Isthe "greasers" on our hands we would
have to keep a standing army over the
line all the time to keep peace among
the warning factions.
Detroit Record - President Wilson
has signally honored another Mime
sofa man by designating ex-Gov. John
Lind as a special representative of the
national administration to visit Mexico
and study conditions there. Mr.. and
I Mrs. Lind have already left for their
new field of labor and Minnesotans
| generally will wish them we'll among
their new responsibilities.
Hutchinson Leader-The job set for
Mr.. Lind is big enough to attract and
| interest him or any other man and diff
acult enough to put his great abilities
to the test. John Lind may not be
versed in the niceties of diplomatic
| customs, but he may be depended up
on to get at the root of the Mexican
| situation in a mighty short space of
| time and to convince those quarreling
~barbarians that Uncle Sam expects
them to settle down to a peaceful and
orderly government.
Rush City PostTThe selection OF
John Lind as the personal representa-
tive of the president to study the sit
uation in Mexico was without question
Ia wise choice. The administration
could not have chosen an ADLER, more
far-seeing mar or one upon whose
Judgment more reliance could be firm
ly placed.
Fertile Journal-If a small percent
age of the reports coming across our
! southern border are true, those Mexi-
cans are some bad fellows. However.
with John Lind on their trial we may
look for an early solution of the entire
Mexican problem, though for quick
results President Wilson should have
sent Teddy.
Hendricks Pioneer-President Will
son has selected John Lind as his per-
senal representative to Mexico, which
no doubt means that the Minnesotan
many times honored in his home state
will be later offered the post of am
sbassador to that country.

A Flying Fire Department..

Cincinnati Enquirer: BOStOn.-A
flying machine fire department for
Salem was predicted today by John
F. Hurley, mayor Of that city. Fire
engines, hook and ladders, hose wag-
ons and aerial water towers of the
future will go through the air on wings
of aeroplanes, instead of using the
city streets, according to Hurley's
ideas.
Mayor Hurley delivered himself of
these sentiments during a visit to
Son1eryiile police headquarters, where
he called for the purpose of looking
owe the new automobile coordination
police patrol and ambulance.
Il intend to eliminate horses from
Salem so far as the city service goes
OF course, If private individuals want
to keep a few of them for driving pur-
poses, that's all right, but the death
knell of the horse has been sounded sc
far as commercial life lis concerned.
TN time all this work which Ii
about to be done by motor vehicles
will be done by flying machines. We
are going to have flying machine gar
bage wagons, etc"

In many instances the advertisement
is for only 20 cents for the first inser-

forced to send a collector, perhaps to
