Tampico situation and the understunu-
ing was that the mediators would pass
the information along to the American
ENJOYS at meeting with them sched-
uled for today.
The mediators were puzzled by Gen.
eral Carranza s delay in replying to
their invitation to MIN to send repre-
sentatives to the conference. Their
view was that it was to his interest to
join in the negotiations, and they could
not see why he was 50 slow in doing
so. '-tHgsKNA
Americans Have Plan.
The GA. b. c." mediators had
plan before them today for Mexico 3
pacification.
The American envOys submitted it to
them during 20-minutes conference
this forenoon. 1t was their counter
proposition to the plan previously sug-
gested by the Mexican envoys.
Its details had not been made public,
but it was understood that its purpose
was not only to furnish a basis of
agreement acceptable to the Mexican
federals, but that the rebels wishes
also were taken into consideration.
The next step will be for the me.
diators to lay tine plan before the
Mexican ENJOYS. Probably this will
be followed by another full conference
between the mediators and both the
American and Mexican ENJOYS, and al
SO, if the rebels decide to send repre-
sentatives, with them as well.
That the cOnstitutionalists would de-
eide favorably to participation in the
negotiations was thought today more
than likely, the atmosphere having
been greatly cleared by President HUI

that the rebels could not be officially
represented unless Carranza agreed to
an armistice, and a discussion of Mex

was general that some way would be
found around this difficulty.
Complication Is Eliminated.
When word was received in Wash

had been eliminated by Huerta s decis.

department made repeated efforts to

Washington, June 8.-The adminis-

on the Tampieo situation.
1t was known that Admiral Mayo

brush bordering potato patch just
east of the prison walls where they had
been working but for short time.
The youthful prisoners were sent out
into the potato garden to hoe the
weeds which were brought up in great
numbers by the recent rains, and they
had no guard over them. They had
been out of the prison only short
time when one of the wall guards no

be seen. An alarm was sent in and
Investigation brought out the fact that
the lads had ran away. Guards and dogs
were Immediately put out on the trail
of the prisoners and the last news
heard from the runaways indicated
they were headed toward Pratum, a
small town several miles east of this
city.
According to the prison authorities,
the younger prisoners "duck" when

ton, feasting and fasting begin for
Minot orthodox Jews Sunday evening
at sunset The holiday precedes by
ten days Yom Kippar, the day Of
atonement.
Rosh-ha- Shannah, as the Jewish
New Year is called, is probably the
most important holiday insJewish life,
for according to Biblical belief, It is
during this time that the fate Of the
believers is sealed, that is, the ex-
tremely wicked are sealed to die be-
fore the new year shall have seen its
course, and the righteous are sealed
to live and the Intermediates, those
neither extremely righteous or wicked,
are given the ten days between the be-
ginning of the holidays and Yom Kip
par in which to mediate on the error
Of their ways and make amends. It is
their attitude during these days to-
ward their fellowmen that decides
their fate, according to the orthodox
belief.
Among the orthodox, the New Year
is perhaps observed with rs much sol
emnity as during the centuries gone
by. During these holidays, manual
labor is suspended.

the battle line, the Germans were vic
torious, but lost at others.
Three million soldiers are engaged
in the gigantic struggle along a battle

CITY COMMISSIONERS MUST APP
PEAR BEFORE DISTRICT JUDGE
SEPT. 2l-ANOTHER CHAPTER
IN THE ROBINSON CASE.

Another chapter has been added to
the now famous Robinson case. Judge
Leighton issued an order, which was
served on each Of the five city commits
sioners, to show cause why Ed Robin
son, former chief Of police, should not
be reinstated as patrolman. The case
will be heard in chambers Sept Fl at
2 o'clock.
Robinson claims that he was hired
for . year as patrolman. He was ad-
vanced to the position of chief Of po-
lice and after the investigation start
ed, resigned. He claimed that he is
still on the force, the only charges
having been made were that he was
unqualified to be chief.
Robinson was removed from the po-
lice force Monday night upon motion
of Pres. Rudd, seconded by Wilson,
Byorum voting with them. If Robin
son wins his point, he can continue to
act as patrolman until the expiration

IS CORN EXPERT
ORLANDO BROWN, WHO GREW
FINE CORN, TELLS HOW HE
DID IT-HAS 1000 EARS OF
SEED CORN HUNG UP.

Orlando Brown, from four miles
east of the city, brot to the Indepen-
dent Office half dozen ears of North
western Dent corn that are as fine
samples as we have ever seen grown
in this state. We have never seen
better corn grown in Minnesota and it
is very nearly as large as that produc-
ed in Iowa or Illinois. Mr.. Brown has
20 acres fully matured. He secured
the seed from A. A. Robinson, who
has bought all the seed that Mr..
Brown has to spare at good figure.
Mr.. Brown has 1000 ears hung up to
dry and will gather great deal more
seed.
II have been growing corn for the
past IS years." he said. II farmed
most Of my life at Joy, ILL.,, and this is
my first experience with corn in North
Dakota. I grew up astride corn
row and l want to say that am sur
prised at the splendid corn that can
be grown here. planted the seed
May IA and cultivated the corn four
times. Many farmers make mistakes
in growing corn. You want to check it
so it can be plowed both ways. Some
pillow but twice. Four times is not too
much. Keep the field free from
weeds and keep the ground stirred up
so the moisture cannot escape. Many
planted their seed the middle of June
after all other work was out Of the
way. You must plant your corn ear
lier. The selection Of seed is impor-
tant. Take an ear that is well filled
to the tip, and with deep kernels, and
the rows running even. ! don't like
corn too red. Select the lighter, even
colored ears. I think that one can
breed up corn that will have tenden-
cy to grow too large here to mature
properly"
Mr.. Brown will plant 80 acres Of
corn next year.

checks in payment Of their bills. Il
the measure goes thru as planned,
many will pay with currency instead Of
by check. The government and banks
