President Supports Premier.
Copy of your telegram OF 8 pm.
last Saturday night was sent to the
President with copy Of my reply to the
effect that protocol would be objection
able. The President replied Your re-
ply to O'shaughnessy is exactly what I
should have wished it to be. In no case
detail or otherwise be made I talked
with the President over the telephone
when your telegram of II pm. last (Sat-
urday) night was received, to the effect
demand but only on condition that you
sign a protocol. He repeated most en-
phatically his objection to any protocol
or agreement He insists that the salute
or with any stipulation that It be return
ed by US.
1T must be fired in accordance with in
ternational custom as an apology for the
insult offered. Gen. Huerta must trust
that the United States will live up to the
requirements of international courtesy in
returning his salute when it shall have
been fired. The proposed protocol is
especially Objectionable for it is so
phrased that Gen. Huerta might construe
it as recognizing his government, whereas
the President has informed Gen. Huerta
and the foreign governments that Gen.
Huerta's government will not be recog-
nized. Gen. Huerta's acceptance of the
demand of Admiral Mayo must be uncon-
ditional the details can be arranged di-
rectly with Admiral Mayo after Gen.
Huerta announces that he will comply
with that demand. Make it clear to Gen.
Huerta that further negotiations are un-
necessary. 1t is expected that he accept
at once in order that the incident shall be
closed.

Secretary Bryan's Telegram.

President Wilson is out of the city.
:" Impossible to reach him before $
a m tomorrow tSunday). Am certain
that he would not consent to have you
sign the protocol mentioned in your tele-
gram. The salute should be fired without
any agreement as to the return Of the
salute. The United States of America
can be relied upon. according to interna-
tional custom and courtesy. to do its
duty. The signing of the protocol would
be objectionable, in addition to other
, reasons. because of the fact that it might
be construed as recognition of the Huer-
ia government. whereas the President has
no intention of recognizing that govern
ment.
Early this (Sunday) morning dispatch
was received from Charge O'Shaushnessy
SAYING that Gen. Huerta was willing to
accede to the demand of Admiral Mayo
providing a protocol was signed and set
ting forth a copy of the proposed pro-
tocoI Charge OShaughnessy asked
whether he was authorized to sign it.

WEDDING RING ON HER FOOT

At Eastbourne. England, resides o
woman probably without an equal in
the world. She was borr minus arms.

and recently she attended dinner
given to the old people Of the town
by the local Lodge Of Buffaloes.
; She surprised everybody present by
placing her feet upon the table, and,
picking up her knife and fork with
marvellous dexterity, commenced to
enjoy the feast. She manipulated the
knife and fork quite as we'll as any
ordinary person would with her
hands, and although she looked very
uncomfortable with her feet on TIE
table, she wao quite at ease.
! One had to look very closely to dis
cern that Mrs. Peirce was actually
using her feet. and had anyone been
looking round and had not known Of
her infirmity, they would have passed
without noticing anything, so natural
did she look
AS housewife. Mrs. Peircc Is truly
Wonderful She cooks the dinner,
cleans the house: in fact she fuliilla
and very creditably. too-almost all
of the duties Of housewife. She
has had seven children. but OF these
six have died. The seventh however,
Is married, and Mrs. Pcirce is now a
grandmother. The other children did
not die early. and up to the time OF
their deaths, Mrs. Pierce did not re.
quire any assistance in order to adc-
quately attend to them.
This unique woman wears her we'd
ding-ring on the left foot When she
was married she was asked If she
would care to sit down for the bride

but she refused, and. lifting her foot
to the level Of her husbands waist

When asked to "hand" ANYTHING,
Mrs. Peirce does so with perfect ease
and comfort Should the article asked

itself up to that particular place, and
the request would be fulfilled. 1t is

DYNAMITlNG FOR DRY FARM
Practise 10 Becoming Common and
Some Immense Yields Have Been
Secured on Small Plats.

Some have used this method for
crops instead Of plowing and some ire
mendous yields have been obtained on
small plats. but we have had no
chance Of comparing the cost with the
results on a large acreage. says a
writer In Rranch and Range. Dyna.
mittng holes for trees. however, Is be-
coming common and the expense is
half stick Of dynamite. one cap and
about two feet Of fuse for each tree.
A hole is bored with the soil auger
about two feet or 80 inches where the
tree Is to go: the half stick of dyna-
mite Is inserted with cap and fuse at
tached. and then the dirt is replaced
In the hole around the fuse. tamping
with stick as 1t is filled In.
After the explosion two or three
swings Of the shovel will clear the
hole ready to set the tree. The sub
soil will be found shattered to some
extent in the neighborhood OF the hole,
and this is supposed to be beneficial
In allowing the roots to penetrate a
hardpan.

In ordinary holes alongside Of them, 1t

We know that deep plowing is the

STORAGE OF SOIL MOISTURE
Several Factors Ars Cited In Bulletin
Issued BY the Nebraska Expert
ment station.

The Nebraska experiment station
has Just recently issued bulletin on
The Storage and Use Of Soil Mois-
ture." This bulletin Is o brief discus
sion OF work done at the North Platte
substation relative to the storage and
use Of soil moisture. 1t treats of the
possibilities Of storing water In the
soil during certain periods. to be used
later in conjunction with the rainfall.
Several OF the factors influencing the
storage Of water In the soil are dis
cussed.
Summer tillage has been the most
effective method of storing water. but
even by this method only from 10 to
S3 per cent Of the seasonal rainfall
has been stored In the soil. A discus
sion Of the amount Of water retained
BY summer tillage during each Of the
past several years shows that the
amount Of water stored varies with
the amount and distribution Of the
rainfall during the period covered by
the summer tillage. 1t has been found
that water stored In the soil before
seeding 10 safeguard against drought.
but It has not been found possible to
store enough water In the soil bsfore
seeding to mature a crop without sub
seQuent rains.
Dsking small grain stubble has
proved beneficial by preventing weed
growth. whenever there has been SUI.
ncient moisture in the soil at harvest
time to produce crop Of weeds. or
where rains have come. early enough
to start weed growth.
Flowing has been better than disk
Ing. In that 1t more thoroughly kills
all weed growth. and in the case of
heavy rains plowed land will absorb
more water than disked land, because
1t Ia more thoroughly stirred.
Artificial mulches of straw or hay
have proved more effective than soil
mulches In absorbing and retaining
water from rains.
Spring wheat, oats. barley and corn
feed to an average depth Of four feet
In this soil Winter wheat feeds to q
depth of six or seven feet. Alfalfa
and grasses use water from greater
depths.
Weeds are the greatest agency for
the loss Of water from the soil. Pre-
venting weed growth has been more
important from the standpoint Of stor-
Ing water in the soil than cultivating
the soil to produce any kind Of q
mulch

Chicago.-A quadruple murder com.
mitted with an ak was reported In the
suburb OF Blue Island. The victims
were man and his wife, their mar.
ried daughter and her child. The re-
port TO the coroner indicated they
were slain as they slept. The victims
were Jacob Neslesa. German laborer
aged 50 years; his wife; their daugh.
ter aged 25 years and the latter's In.
fant child.
Whether the butchery was the work
OF maniac or OF a person seeking re-
yenge was not disclosed in the first
cursory investigation. 1t was learned
that the young mother had been liv.
In gaway from her husband for a year
and efforts TO find him were begun.
The murderer. according to Benja.
min Knirseh, chief OF police OF Blue
Island. proceeded with great delibera.
tion. Nothing was taken from the
house. 1t was the home OF laborer,
and the few trinkets the inmates
boasted were Of slight value.
The crime was discovered by Jacob
Neslesla. Jr, son OF the old couple
He told the police his sisters hus.
bands name was Hamilton.
The murderer Is believed to be the
mysterious axman who started his red
career at Colorado Springs several
years ago. Six persons, members oi
two families, were slain there one
night, their heads crushed in with an
ak. The crime was the first of many
unsolyed murders that since have baf.
