Little stories
OF cooperation

A thrifty housewife spent a couple
of weeks up State last summer. While
there she met farmer who had fine,
fresh eggs to sell. The farmer had
been selling eggs to the country store
keepers. who in turn had been ship
ping them to the commission mer-
chant in the city. the commission
merchant in turn selling them to the
city retailer, from whom you buy
them.
Now this good woman saw a chance
for a bargain and made a deal with
the farmer, to ship her twenty-four
dozen eggs each week, for which she
was to give him eighteen cents dozen
winter and summer. Coming home
she told her friends and neighbors.
Result--nine families with hers divide
the twenty-four dozen eggs, and divide
the cost of getting them by express
(Which amounts to about three cents
a doZen). making fresh eggs cost she
and her friends, the year round, about
twenty-one cents a dozen-all through
cooperation.

many men had been put to death in
Mexico City during the last twelve
months.
The removal of countless Mexi-
cans of both high and low degree
was calmly discussed by the former
Mexican minister of the interior,
whb is credited with being Huerta's
secret executioner. He admitted that
many had been summarily killed,

itively in dispatches from thor
oughly competent diplomatic source
in Mexico City to one of the foreign
representatives here and confirms
intimations given by friends of the
delegates.
According to this Information
from Mexico City, Huerta at first
authorized the delegates to discuss
only the question of the Tampico
conflict leading to the American oc-
cupation of Vera Cruz. Later the
Mexican dictator, it is explained,
came to recognize the necessity of a
broader settlement and then convey
ed to the delegates assurances that
he was prepared to step down

MORE ABOUT THE PRACTICAL VALUE OF MEDIA

FIRST INTEREST OF THE NATIONS NOW CENTERS AROUND
THE conference At NIAGARA FALLS

Washington, May 19.-Interest in
the Mexican situation has shifted to
Niagara Falls, Ontario, today. The
American commissioners to the me-
diation conferences, accompanied by
subordinate officials. left Washing
ton this morning.
Commissioners Lamar and Leh-
man expressed the opinion that, the
result of the conference would not
be long drawn out. They thought it
would be possible to determine with
in week whether there was hope
of ultimate success.
Information conveyed to them by
President Wilson was that the me
diators were in sympathy with the
general contentious of the United
States and would very probably use
their influence to have Huerista rep
resentatives make necessary conces-
sions.
Attitude of ConstitutiOnalists Only
Thing that Makes Result
Uncertain
Meanwhile the attitude of the
constitutionalist representatives here
continues defiant. They assert they
will agree to no compromise with
Huerta.
INSTRUCTION TO AMERICANS
President Wilson told the Ameri-
can commissioners that the United
States government regards the set
tlement of the Mexican problem in
definite form as the prerequisite to
the withdrawal of American forces
from Vera Cruz.
The president gave the American
commissioners, Justice Lamar of the
supreme court of the United States,
tnd Frederick w. Lehman, former
solicitor general and diplomatic
secretary H. Perceval Dodge, no
specific instructions. He told them
to place themselves in a receptive
mood and await proposals from the
three South American mediators.
But at the same time he outlined to
his representatives that peace in
Mexico seemed to him to be condi-
toned on the elimination of the
Huerta administration and the es-
tablishment in it's place of a stronger
provisional government.
