LATIN. AMERICANS SUSPICION

st. Louis business men touring
South America saw the police OF Bue-
nos Airs tearing down pro- Mexico and
anti-American posters. They were
told Of anti -American demonstrations
when they reached Montevideo and
advised not to land. The demonstra-
ton had ben a serious one, and many
of the rioters were sabered by the
police before it was stopped.
Everywhere they were asked if the
United States wanted n part or all of
Mexico, and when the questionors
were informed that we had all the land
we wanted they shrugged skeptical
but polite shrugs. Latin American
is suspicious of us and our intentions
and takes no trouble to hide these sus-
picions. II
"Dollar diplomacy" is one Of the
things that is to be blamed. The
seizure of Panama by Roosevelt is
another. Our past record of rushing
warships to the defense of concess-
sionares and the private financing of
revolutions by big American business
interests are other contributing causes
that feed the suspicious Of Latin Am
erica.
South Americans know to a square
mile how much land we took from
Mexico in the forties and the terms
of the Gadsden Purchase. The Pana-
ma revolution is an oft-told tale in
South American capitals. They know
the terms of the Platt amendment and
how it affects Cuba. Reviewing all
these things, they refuse to believe
that we will ever go out of Mixico if
we once go in.
We have made a start toward undo
ing the evil that has been done
through submitting the Mexican ques-
toin to meditation at the hands of the
three great South American Republics.
However, it will take years Of delicate
handling of international questions
to convince South Americans that we
do not intend to go all the way from
the Rio Grande to TERRA del Fuego.
Their memories are long.
The present administration has laid
the foundations for a different policy
on the part of the United States to-
ward its sister Republics in the West
ern Hemisphere. Effects cannot be
expected in day, but well-informed
South Americans know that so long as
Woodrow Wilson is President Of the
United States there will be no seizure
of Mexico lands by right of conquest.
We are removing the causes for
Latin-American suspicion. st. Louis

KEEP UP THE CHINCH
BUG FIGHT
BY Leonard Haseman

The farmers of Missouri, while busy
fighting army worms and replanting
where they have ruined crops, should
not lose sight of the fact that, this
is ideal chinch bug weather and where
old bugs were abundant in wheat
fields during May there is danger
that their young will move into 9th
err crops when the wheat is ripe and
cut. The past month has been a busy
one for most Missouri farmers and
the month Of June threatens to be
one equally as strenuous especially
where the chich bug requires atten-
ton. IN
Comparatively few inquiries are
being received by the Missouri Col
lege Of Agriculture just now, but with
the rush of other work, farmers are
liable to overlook this pest. Ii is too
late to fight the chinch bug after it
has left the wheat fields and gone to
other crops. Every farmers should
examine his wheat and if the young
red and black bugs are abundant he
should plan to fight the pest when
1t starts to migrate between now and
the last of the month.
Most farmers are familiar with the
dust and chemical barriers. One or
more parallel bitches in which a log
is dragged or plowed strip through
ly worked will keep the bugs back
when it is dry. In rainy weather dust
barriers are impossible so a supply OF
tar, road oil. creosote or crude car
bolic acid should be on hand. Either
of these chemicals when used TO form
a line will help TO keep the bugs back
and protect crops.
Last year the chinsh bug seeming
ly reached its climax as regards alb
undance and injury and it is not like
ly to do nearly so much injury this
year though we must be ready for it
should it threaten cultivated crops
this month. 1t is hoped that the
weather will favor the spread of the
chinch bug disease so that it, with
mans help, may completely stamp
out the pest this summer.
The Missouri College of Agriculture
is ready to answer all inquiries and
to give such additional help as it can.

Missouri.

PIVOT PUNCH
Greek BattIer in Great Fight
Against Newsboy Champ for
5 Rounds-McMah Wins.
Bv Left Hook.
one Of the most thrilling scraps
tagged around here in some time,

II n one OIL the most tnrllllng scraps
staged around here in some time,
Kid Young, the newsboy cham
pion. stopped Kid Brown, the durable
Greek fro-l Terre Haute, Ind, IN tine
fifth round with pivot punch that
landed square on Browns jaw and
knocked him cold,
The boys put up a wonderful battle
while it lasted and the Greek scra o.
per deserves much credit for the gsmc
fight he put up. Although pitted
against a boy who has a record Of be
ing Atlanta's best fighter for his
weight, Brown kept boring in under
an Ad Wolgast shell, and until Young
caught him with the fatal punch
seemed sure of goin" the limit of six
rounds.
Youngs victory last night proves
that he is one of the greatest little
ringmen Of his weight. He carries a
powerful punch in his RICH. hand, bat
has one big fault OF sticking out his
Jaw Against a boy carrying a stiff
punch this habit of Young's may
prove fatal one of these days
Brown need not feel discouraged by
his defeat, as he was forced to give
away about five pounds in weight and
against a boy Of his own poundaee
should have little trouble getting on
around here.
Jack Mcmahon, of Kansas City, won
his third victory OF this week over
the knock -out route when he stopped
Eddie Collins in the fourth round of a
fast go. Mcmahon is tough battler,
and It will take an swfully good boy
of his weight to beat him. A stiff right
to the jaw put Collins away after ne
hit he canvas Ave times.
Kid Wonder tried to win two bouts,
and after stopping Joe Turner in the
first round met a tartar in Battling
Sheppard, the corking little newsbOy
scrapper Sheppard surprised All by
winning the verdict al the end Of tho
fourth round of dandy scrap. Shep-
pard is developing rapidly into a
wonderful little boxer.
All the fighters were examined by a
physician before they entered the
ring.

outside of indianapolis, up to three
months ago? And who is there now,
when the name of Edward F. Gates

of his success as one of the legal ad-
visers of the outlaws"
Former Judge Harry Goldman is
another of the Federdls' legal adj
visers Judge Goldman for many
years had enjoyed an enviable repu-
tation as a lawyer in his home town,
but since he became mixed up with
the Federals-and especially since the
