Some Southwest
ern Reflections

Among the people the sweet
potato sentiment is growing.
1t fits in so nicely after early
Irish potatoes or oats have
been harvested, and leaves
time after the sweet potato
has been gathered to get a
fairly good crop of pea vines,
to be turned under or make
hay.
1t brings You good money
i'll August, and enables YOU to
pave the way for getting rom
under the tyranny of tn one
crop system.
1t makes it almost necessary
for YOU to have a few pigs to
| fatten OH the culls, which are
not large enough to be mer-
charitable.
1t keeps your land i'll good
filth and fits neatly into a
sane system of crop rotation
which combines the principles
of profitable production and
soil improvement.
Every farmer should plant
at least one acre for the early
market this year. You won t
get rich from the proceeds OF
a single acre, but YOU can t
loose much under the most
unfavorable circumstances
possible; and You will have
made a start away from the
o,le-crop curse and i'll the
direction of agricultural i'll
dependence and real farming
But why plant potatoes?''
YOU ask. Because the Others
are going to do it and a mar.

one should plant a different
crop there wouldn't be enough
of one product to Justlt,

To Vote on the
Commission Form

On next Tuesday, March 3,
the election to decide whether
or not the commission form of
government will be adopted
will be voted upon. From
appearances there is quite a
bit of interest taken III the
affair and there will no doubt
be quite a large vote polled.
1t is left to be seen which side
has the strongest vote, and 1t
seems that there are few who
will attempt to forecast the
result.
AS tar as we are aD!c u

one who has yet announced
that they will be a candidate,

TOQUIT MEXICO
Clergy Ask State Department
to Get Nuns and Priests
Out of Vera Cruz.
MAY DELAY EVACUATION
Gen. Villa Wires His Thanks for that
- Order-Accepts Promotion
from Carranza.
MAY DELAY EVACUATION

Members Of the Roman Catholic clergy
yesterday appealed to the President and
to the State Department on behalf of
have taken refuge in Vera Cruz. The
refugees are, greatly alarmed for their
own safety. II they remain IN Vera Crus
after the evacuation Of that port by the
United States forces
Acting Secretary Of State Lansing. who
received these representations, requested
that the statement be presented in writ
ing. This will be done tomorrow by
versity. Bishop Conaty. Of California
formerly president OF the Catholic Uni
versity here, and Representative Kettner.
of California, with Father O'Hearn, con-
stituted the delegation.
It Is asserted on behalf OF the priests
and nuns that they were driven to take
refuge under the American nag at Vera
Cruz as a result OF the outrages COM
mitted upon them and the properties of
their orders during the fighting Of the
last six months.
This appeal brings again before the
Washington government the question Of
the attitude Of the constitutionalist forces
toward the Catholic clergy In Mexico
Villas treatment OF Spanish priests at
Chihuahua and TorTeon was In par
ticular the occasion Of repeated repre-
sensations both to him and Carranza last
winter and spring. More recently the
United States repeatedly urged CarranZa
to take steps TO insure the protection Of
the property and persons OF the clergy In
Mexico. Only general assurances that all
not engaged against the constitutionalist
government would receive protection were
received from Carranza- In the light
Of this latest appeal. 1t is expected that
fresh representations will be made to the
Mexico City government on behalf Of
any OF the church refugees who may re-
main in Vera Cruz.
Villa Accepts Promotion.
1t is understood that it is desired that
the United States provide transportation
out of Mexico for the priests and nuns.
AS a practical matter. IL would be simple
enough for the United States to put the
refugee clergy on a transport and send
them TO Galveston, but II is doubted II
the government will feel II can do 50.
because of the international phases OF
the situation: 1t was pointed out this
afternoon that there is quite a differ
cree between the United States taking
Americans, it's own citizens, out Of Mex
leo and taking -Mexicans out OF that
country. It is feared such action might
raise all sorts Of questions between Wash
ington and Mexico City.
The belief prevails, however. that the
evacuation Of Vera Cruz will be SUM-
GENTLY delayed to permit all the refugees
in Vera Cruz getting away.
The President received yesterday from
Gen. Villa a message thanking him for
his action in ordering the evacuation of
Vera Cruz. II was noted that villa
signed himself "General-in-chief of the
Division of the North" which Is the
first indication that he has accepted the
promotion recently given him by Car
