WISCONSIN SlLOS

According to statements made in
a recent publication from the United
States depar tment of Agriculture,
Wisconsin is supreme in silos. That
is to say, Wisconsin has more silos
than any other state in the union.
This calls to mind the expressions
of wonder ON the part of the North
Dakota farmers who visited this
state recently. They saw silos every
where and marveled at the sight.
Then they learned sonthing OF the
use of the silos and their wonder
ment gave place to a determination
to return home and build some silos
of their own.
The silo on the farm advertiseS
the progressiveness of the owner fol
it is a conserver of resources and a
maker of profits.

ACCURACY FIRST"
NEWSPAPERS SLOGAN

Madison, Wis, May 6.-"Accuracy
First" as the newspapers slogan is
being advocated by Prof. Willard G.
Bleyer, head Of the course in jour
nalism at the University of Wiscon-
sin, as a counterpart for the Safety

"The estab lishment of departments
of accuracy and fair play by represen
tative newspapers such as the New
York World, the Philadelphia Led
ger, the Buffalo Courier, the Minnie
apolis Tribune and the Sacramento
Bee" says Professor. Bleyer, points
the way to the general adoption by
American newspapers of the motto,

claims Black River Falls as the site
of his wigwam, was given five days
in the county Jail by Justice Brown.

DELAY Is DANGEROUS

Rear Admiral Badger has notified
the navy department that delay in
pushing American outposts to Mexico
City will cost thousands of American
lives Barbed wire distractions and
mines have been placed across the
line OF march by the federals under
Gen. Mass.
Both Gem Funston and Admiral
Badger ara said to have urged an
immediate occupation of the bhexi-
can capital and the dispatch of more
troops to Vera Cruz.
The tension and ureasinasS in
Washington were increased by a dis
patch from Admiral Mayo at Tampi-
60, saying that general hostilities had
been resumed with frequent firing in
the streets Stubborn resistance of
an American attack at that point is
predicted
HARBoR is NOT MINED.
The rnmor that mines had been
placed In inner Tampico harbOr was
denied by Admiral Mayo. Two addi--
tional deaths at Vera Cruz have add
ed to the gloom of the situation.
Conferences between the South
American mex1iators continued here
tonight, though stripped of an issue
through the limitation of mediation
of internal Mexican affairs by the
refusal of Carranza to agree to this
program.
.sCarranza is very willing to treat
with the foreign nations ON every
phase of the Mexican situation ex-
planned Capt Sherburne Hopkins,
Washington agent of the constitutions
alists, today, 'ibut he does not inr
tend togiye up any advantage he has
won by force of arms from Huerta
The Internal affairs and differences
of Mexico between the two factions
are not matters of arbitration anC
we do not propose to be parties tC
an armed Truce which will end only
III giving Huerta time to prepare him
self against attack"
REFLECTS HuERTA's STAND.
This is held here TO reflect accur
ately the stand OF CarranZa and L
forecast his answer TO the note o
the med;ators to him demanding tha
he enter the peace negotiations ON
ground of neutrality,
The mediators held that all diff
culties which contributed to the pres
ent situation in Mexico bear direct
~ or indirectly upon the solution o
the pending conflict between Mexi
co City and the United States.
