Huerta Wants Wilson
to Halt Shipment Of
Arms Into Republic
BY Associated Press

Washington, d. c.. Feb. 27.-After
long lapse In the diplomatic ex-
changes between Washington and the.
City of Mexico an attempt has been
made to reopen the correspondence byi
the submission of an appeal by the
Huerta government for the reconsid-,
GRAFTON by the United States of the
recent raising Of the embargo on
arms to Mexico.
The feature of the Mexican com
munication, said to have been issued
at Mexico City last night, is the allie
cation that a state of anarchy now
exists in so much of Mexico as Is occu
pied by the rebel forces, and it is also
charged that the immediate effect of
the decree permitting the expectation
OF arms has been to place the rebels
In favorable situation for permits
ting outrages, while preventing the
Huerta government from repressinn
them as quickly and as energetically
as 1T desires.
On the other hand, ii is set out
that wherever the Huerta government
is In power protection has been given
foreigners.
Therefore the United States Is in.
vited to reflect seriously upon the sad
consequences" that arming of rebels
will bring, in the opinion of the Huerta
government.

FIX TAX RATE At
N|NE AND A HALF
MILES DURING 1874
9-Month Year and Changes Of Gov
ernment Materially Lessen
Expenditures

Harrisburg's present tax rate of
nine and half mills will likely remain
unchanged during the ensuing year,
according to the City Commissioners
who held the first conference this af-
ternoon on the new budget ordinance
for 1914
Amendments to the license ordi-
nance were discussed too, and 1t Is
probable that some of the mercantile
rates will be changed Tuesday
The year of 1914 so far as the city's
expenditures in concerned, begins the
first Monday in April and ends Decem-
Der 81, 1914. Thereafter the city year
will extend from the first of one year
to the first day of the next.
The budget ordinance was introduced
in skeleton form at Tuesdays meeting
of Council and 8 o'clock this afternoon
was fixed for the first meeting. Only
the salaries and such other expendi-
lures that are already fixed by law,
were included in the measure. The
various commissioners have been busy
Nfor the last week or so putting finish
ing touches to their departmental esti-
mates. These will likely require a
little pairing down at that.
Expenses Reduced
The appropriation last year totaled
$529, ,129.12. Nine months expendi-
lures ordinarily would mean $780,
S46.S4. In addition to this the changes
in the government will cut down the
expenses to the extent of more than
$S,S06. This will include the salary
of the clerk to Select Council, contin-
gent, cleaning office, and telephone
rent expenses, the $1,S00 In salaries
of two assessors and the $1,250 in
salaries of five members of the board
of tax revision, and approximately $4,-
800 in salaries of the park superinten-
dent, highway commissioner and the
city controller.

the commissioners totaling S5,625 will

Telegraph Brings Series Here For
Benefit of Those Who Are
Unable to Travel

That the Telegraph has hit upon a
a wide interest of talk is shown by
the number of inquiries that have
been coming into the business office
asking for the announcements of the
various programs that will be pre-
sented in the Niblo Travel Talks.
This series containing hundreds of
the very finest of colored views, many
of which were colored in Paris and
in addition to the colored views, 25,-
900 feet of the finest of motion pic
lures make up set of programs that
should have g. wide appeal to the
people of this city and one that they
will remember with considerable in
terest. The Telegraph, in the field to
offer it's readers only the best, has
made special arrangements whereby
1t can offer an opportunity for the
stay-at-home tourist to enjoy all the
pleasures of foreign travel at a cost
that would be less than the average tip
given for a small favor.
The Niblo Travel Talks opened this
season for an engagement of two
weeks at fremont Ienp1e, Boston,
one of the largest and finest halls i'm
the country and the same place where
the Burton Holmes and other
Travelogues are given. The success of
the series was such that the original
engagement was extended twice and
the run was for seven consecutive
weeks at prices that were % cents to
$1.00.
Where Series Has Appeared
The Niblo Talks have appeared in
the better class of theaters in Phila-
delphia, Washington, New York and
have been very favorably received
everywhere. Last month they ap-
peared under the auspices of the Mo

To have hens we must winter pull
lets, and if by little extra feed and

the poultry? This can be done by ju-

To get eggs we must supply the hen
with the proper ingredients from
which to grow the egg If every ele-
ment needed is supplied in the right
proportion the hen must lay or store
them up in the body in the form of
flesh or fat. If house conditions are
right and the hens made contented
and happy they will lay if the laying
instinct is in them.
The ration should be composed about
as follows; Fifty-fve per cent whole
and ground grain 10 per cent meat, 30
per cent succulent green food, such as
roots, cabbage and other vegetables
and clover or alfalfa hay. The winter
laying pullet is one that has been fed
and grown right from the time she
left the shell. We cannot take pullets
which have been fed any old way and
get them in laying form in few
weeks. If they have not been rightly
developed it may take several months
of feeding to get them ripened so as
to be good producers, while some never

WHAT MAKES A SAVINGS
BANK SAFE AND STRONG /?

The answer to the above question is
this: A Savings Bank is strong and
safe if its directors aIe men of charac-
ter, intet rity, temperance, sound judg
ment, sufficiently painstaking and con-
servative IN the examination and APP
p'oval of all its inve, TINE hts, and last,
but not least, men of long and valu-
able exp' Renee in tanLing.

Saw ngs Banks are well conducted and
prospectus but thee is one institution
which sell ms to have become an
especial favOrite with the depositing

The one inn ortani req n for this IS
that the people OF Vermont have come
TO know that every member of the
Board of Dreo tors of the Hyde Park
Savings Bank is safe, substantial, re-
sponsil lie business nan, entirely free
from every tendency to speculate,
gamble or take any but the most con

Thousands of the people of Vermont
have been having business dealings
with its President tor more than half a
century. They know his conservative,
cautious, pains aking business methods.
They know the business way in which
he treats every financial proposition
and they have come to trust him i'm
plcitly as a safe custodian OF their
savings.
