Answer Salute.

Washington, April / .-- -Huerta has
promised Charge O'shaughnessy to
salute the American flag in apology
for the arrest of American bluejackets
at Tampico.
The only condition attached was
that the American ships fire a salute
in acknowledgment. Officials close
to the president said this was in
accordance with naval practice of ma
ti0ns and according, TO precedent.
It was stated authoritstively the
only point remaining to be determined
is the number of guns and that this
will be speedily agreed upon At the
state, war and navy departments Off
cials considered the crisis passed.
Oficials pointed out that on occa-
sions when the American navy had
saluted the flag of other nations as
result Of difficulties at sea salute in
response had been fired.
It was we'll understood in diplomatic
circles that Count Won Bernstorff and
Jules u Jusserand, the German and
French ambassadors, respectively, had
been active through their foreign Of

Be KIND TO THE
WORK HORSE

On a certain farm are two work
korSes, one as dainty as woman,
is tenderly petted, kept in a pad
ded stall and never has to do a
stroke of work except once in a
while to run.
Then it is expected to run it's
head off because on one race whole
fortunes depend.
The other is plain plodding pack
horse. Like the man with the hoe,
it goes to hts routine of toll with
machine-like precision every morn
ing at sunrise, and works steadily
throughout the day, and returns to
the stall at suneet ,weared and
spent :.
The horse that does the useful
necessary work is valued very
cheanly. You can buy one any day
fos 5000. The dainty thoroughbred
on the other hand, comes high.
You can't get a speedy one unless
you spend thousands of dollars But
then, an American Beauty rose cost:
more than a dandylicn. 1t has al
ways been our luXu1,ies which have
threatened our incomes

NEWSPAPER MEN ARE
PERSISTENT DUNNERS

We presume that many people
think that newspaper men are per-
sistnet dunners as they keep saying
Look at the label on your paper.
Move up the date. You are back on
your subscription. Pay up. Pay us,
and many other like expressions.
Now let a farmer or business man
place himself in similar business
position, and see If he would not do
the same.
Suppose the farmer raises a crop
of a thousand bushels of wheat,
and his neighbor should buy a bush
ell and the price was $1.00 and the
nesghbor says" l will pay you the
sum in few days. AS the farmer
does not want to be small in the
matter he says, "All right" Anoth-
Ell comes in the same way until the
whole of the wheat has been sold
to a thousand different persons
No one purchaser concerns himself
about it, and, of course that could
not help him any.
He does NOT realize that the farm.
Ell has fristed away his crop Of
wheat in little dribs and that he is
seriously embarrassed in his busi
ness because his debtors tteat il
as a small matter.
But If all would pay him prompt
ly, which they could do as we'll a.
not, it would enable him to carry O
his business without difficulty.
The above comparison is too true
of the difficulties tnst newspaper
man has to contend with.

WAR AND THE SUGAR
BEET INDUSTRY

Farmers who We're not sea- ed Off
the sugar beet crop by Democratic
tariff are i'm fair way to realize a
nice profit from this years crop
The rise of sugar since the war
in Europe while in a large meas
ure due to speculative interests is
bound to give sugar-beet raisers a
nice profit. And the end lis not yet
If any satisfactory arrangements cam
be made for tthe transportation of
other agricultural and food products
to Europe there is sure to be a
raise in the prices of these COM
modities.
With a fair sprinkling of busd-
ness sense this country bids fair to
profit enormously through the un-
fortunate condition of war exsisting
in Europe. This is a mighty fine
time for the people of this country
be they rural or city residents to
take care of themselves. The tenden
cy to exact high prices on purely
speculative bases is to be develop
ed, and can but lead to the bitter
est of feeling on the part of the
already overburdered city resident
which it may take years to over
come.
Listen, men, the interests of the
residents of this country irrespective
of location, are too closely allied to
have anything but the most perfect
| harmony in our dealings ore with
another. And it is good thing te
remember that there is always 9
hereafter.

,tion period given by the government.

tary McAdoo's order
