Great Britain does not, according to
Sir Edward Grey, the British Foreign
Secretary hold the United States in
any way responsible in connection
with the death of Benton, a British
subject, in Mexico. Holding this view,
England will make no demands of
this government in the matter of in
vestigation, reparation, ETC., but will
welcome whatever steps the United
States will take. This course on the
part of England simplifies the mater
and is great relief to President VIII
son.

TEN COMFORTS THAT PAY THEIR
WAY.

1t is true in many, many cases that
in using oldfashioned, labor-wasting
implements and machinery, you are
simply doing hard, slow. backbreak-
cheaper to do the work with an i'm
proved outfit, to say nothing of the
greater ease and comfort of the new
plan. In other words, the improved
implement pays for itself in greater
efficiency, besides making work easier
and life happier for you, and in using
the old method you are simply paying
for the privilege of doing work the
hardest way. Farm and Fireside re-
fers to Ten Farm Comforts that Pay
Thier Way" as follows:
l. Cream Separator.
2. Manure Epreader.
3. Tanning Mill.
4. Gasoline Engine.
8. Typewriter.
6. Telephone.
Z. Washing Machine.
s. Running Water.
8. Sewing Machine.
10. Automobile.
OF course, not every one of these
will pay its way on every farm. But
all Of them will on some farms, and
some of them on all farms. Check up
and see how many are working for
you.

from British and French sources, the
