american and German Plows Tested.

From the Worlds Work.
In Buenos Aires a few years ago an
American salesman of plows wished
to demonstrate to a local customer
the superiority of his goods over that
of a German competitor. The Amer
lean consul arranged for the test.
The German plows proved to be al
most exact duplicates of the Amerl-
can implement in design and rather
better in finish. Wasting no time in
explanation, the American salesman
called over a powerful peon and or
dered him to swing with all his
strength with ten-pound sledge
upon the share of one of the Ameri-
can plows.
The husky peon spat upon his
hands. launching his muscular shout
ders. swung the heavy hammer In a
wide circle. and brought 1t down on
the spot indicated a note as clear
as that OF a bell rang out and the
pillow went bounding across the floor,
but, save for the patch of red paint
that fused to and came off on the
hammer head, the share was I'M
marked When the operation was re-
pcatcd upon one of the German inn
plements the first share was COM
pletcly shattered, the pieces being
scattered about the floor like so much
broken crockery. Thinking that pos
sibly the faultiness of this share had
been All accident of construction,
perhaps Of overtempering, the dealer
requested the peon to swing upon the
second sample. This blow demon
strated that the German implements
were not even consistent in their de-
fectiveness, for this share doubled up
under the blow and folded lovingly
in around the hammer like a flower
going to sleep at night
There were tears in the consul S
ewes as he wrung the salesman s

said was: And they still accuse us
OF exporting wooden nutmegs."

Wilson's Visit Results in Doubling Tax
On His Hosts Property.
WASHINGTON, July 22.-Colonel
Robert Ewing, Democratic national
committeeman from Louisiana, is be-
ginning to appreciate the fact that
entertaining the President of the
United States has its disadvantages.
The colonel owns a handsome shore
home by the Mississippi Sound, near
where President Wilson spent his
holiday last winter.
The visit of the President has
served to impress the residents there
that their sound resort is to be the
American Riviera and one of the
greatest midwinter resort of the
western world. AS a result the as
SCISSORS of Harrison county have as
sessed Colonel Ewing's winter home
at just double the value of a year
ago before the Presidents visit.

Armed Intervention May
Become Necessary in Haiti

Washington, d. C. - Armed inter-

was discussed by administration Off
cials upon the receipt of dispatches
from diplomatic agents saying great
losses would be suffered in the island
republic by the ravages of the revolu-
ton.
No active steps have been taken but
the situation has advanced to a point
where, under pressure from European
powers, movement of marines al
ready mobilized at Guantanamo into
Haiti, and perhaps the Dominican re-
public, was among the possibilities.
Minister Menos, of Haiti, called on
President Wilson, ostensibly to present
his credentials, but bringing official
dispatches from his foreign office dep
recating Intervention on the part of
the United States, and representing
that Haiti's credit was good, and that
II had met its international obliga-
lions and that no foreigners had been
harmed.
