Ships to tho West Coast Also.

A significant admission was obtained
from the Secretary OF the Navy this after
noon, when he said that he was consider
ing the matter of sending more ships TO
the west coast of Mexico. II Is apparent
to observers that if the only intention OF
the administration is TO obtain satisfac-
ton at Tampico the matter of reinforcing
the American squadron on the Pacific
Coast would not be worth consideration
For that matter. it is pointed out, the
force which has been ordered TO Tamplco
is infinitely greater than is really neces-
sary.
1t is expected that Rear Admiral
Badgers fleet will reach Tampico or It's
vicinity Sunday night or Monday morning
II is probable that before that orders will
have been sent to distribute the ships
along the Mexican coast.
Information has lately come to the adj
ministration that il was more than pos
sible that the incident at Tampico was
deliberate step taken by Huerta's officers
TO try out the temper OF the United
States President Wilson. with this
thought in mind is engaged in the task
Of disprovng to Huerta that the United
States always bluffs. Huerta has had
feeling that this was so ever since this
government failed TO back up its demand
presented TO him last fall. lie has also
been informed by outsiders. notably GER
tain foreign diplomats. that the United
States would never intervene. He has
found In this belief the courage TO defy
President Wilson.

and never have found men so
ugly as the American men!
They are worse than ugly. They
are dull, gray, drab, uninteresting.

Ainu are distinguished looking COM
pared to the average American.
The plainness of the American
man strikes one so forcibly, because
the American women are SO hand
some, so spirituelle, so lively, so
well-dressed.
The American has no hair on his
face. He makes no effort to diversity
the plainness that nature has infiict-
ed on him by skiIful cultivation of
the natural adornment of a man.
About one man in a thousand looks
well without hair on his face, and
that one is not an American. There
is certain type of Englishman with
high color and an aquiline nose to
whom the smooth face is becoming.
The type is not seen in America.
Every Frenchman cultivates his
whiskers in a style appropriate and
becoming to himself Hence he has
an individuality. You recognize him
as he walks along the Boulevard,
even though he be half a mile away.
One has the generous, dignified fan
shaped beard. Another has the
pointed Van Dyke beard, at once
noble and artistic The lawyer has
always his side-whiskers, the officer
his moustache. No two sets of whis-
kers are exactly alike among French
men who care about the effect they
produce on the world. One venerable
gentleman has the fierce full whis-
kers of Napoleon's grenadiers; an
other the neat cote de mouton style
of the Restoration period. Most
noble and dashing of all is the
waxed moustache' with the sharp.

you see this you feel you are in the

and daring. .

The present crop outlook justi6es every farmer
in protecting himself against a loss by hail. No bust
ness man can afford to be without insurance to protect
himself and his creditors, and as the farmer depends
entirely upon his crops, he cannot afford to be clean
ed up by a hail storm and have no Hail Insurance.
When you insure against hail you should select
a good company. George %Juergens of Devils Lake
