MEXICAN REPORTS GRATIFYING
Washington, D. c., Pleased With Plans
to Call Election October I.

Washington-Adm Off
Gals expressed their satisfaction over
the reports from Mexico City that a
general convention of governors, mil
itary chiefs and delegates represent
ing the army had been called for Oc-
Ftober 1 to arrange a program for a
constitutional election.
This represents the chief demand
of General Villa and acquiescence in
it by General Carranza was regarded
as a most hopeful indication toward
harmony between the two leaders.
The only dark spot on the Mexican
horizon is the attitude of General Ia
pata. Official reports say he refuses
to come to an agreement with Car
the first chief unless the latter goes
south to Zapata territory.
Still Quarreling.
Ell Paso, Texas.-The Carranza and
Villa elements of the constituencies
party differ as to the eligibility OF
General Carranza as provisional presi
dent of Mexico according to asser
tions made Monday by men Of promi
hence in both factions. President
Wilson's recent explanation that Car

sional president as far as the Wash
ington government was concerned re
viyed the discussion on the point that
was the cause of heated arguments a,

Smith Pushes
Standard Apple
Box Bill.

The Standard Apple Box Bill
which has been actively support
ed by Representative Smith, of
Idaho. is still on the House calen-

unanimous consent rule having
been refused on objection by Con-
gresham Dillon ofNorth Dakota
A similar bill passed the Senate
on the Is of August and there is
still hope of the enactment of the
law during the present session,
which is likely to be prolonged
until the first of October.
This legislation is very much
desired by the apple growers in
the western country, as it not on
ly determines the size OF the apple
box, but the purchaser is insured
that he will receive full measure

A Religious War

Several editorial writers have
strivcn to prove this religious
war being waged in Europe; but
not having any OF their data up-
on which they base their conclu.
sions at hand, we fail to see it as
religious struggle. To be sure
the Russians are Orthodox Greek
and the French are Catholics
while England and Germany are
generally Protestant. 1t is said
that Germany appealed to the
Roman Catholic conclave of Car.
dlnals for the assistance of the
Roman Catholics; as the contest
is between Catholicism and the
Greek Church, but it is reported
that the Cardinals could not see
the relevancy of the statement
considering the circumstance. fur
thermore, it is said that the Ger
mans are attempting to inauger-
ate war of the Mohammeden
subjects against English rule in
the ORIENTAL English colonies. To
the onlooker, the contest seems to
be one tor balance OF power on
the part OF some of the powers,
for ambition with others; and
tor real existance and independ-
ence with Belgium and France.

The Burning OF

appears to be. This malicious
and wiltul destruction of one of

sressive cities of Belgium by the
Germans will serve to put Ger

the American people. From au-
thent,c accounts, the Germans
fred this city to cover up one Of

ciously murdered men, women
and children, a lnon-combatants

our sympathy to the Belgians,
but possibly when Berlin is des
troved by the Russians, we will
then be able to tender our sy mpa-

We had always regarded the
German nation as being amongst
the highest civilized of the world
but IT half of what is said to have
happened at Louvain, is true.

The Marketing
OF Farm
Products.

Marketing of farm product is
today the most urgent of all the
farmers problems. Production
is SO great; and marketing and
distribution SO little understood.
that a large percentage of our
products are an economic waste,
here is continuously growing
demand at the great centers Of
population in other words, at
the markets, but the farmer do
not know how to reach these
economically.
There are a number otelements
which are factors OF the market.
ing element, among these distri-
buting agencies, storage agencies
methods of packing, and methods
OF marketing the products.
The, principal distributing ag-
encles are the railroads and roads
The railroads should have special
trains for the rapid transporta-
ton OF farm commodities at rea-
sonable rates. The transporta-
t'on from the farm to the railroad
is materially lessened in cost by
a ystem OF good roads. Good
roads soon pay for themselves in
the saving III ton cost in trans
porting the farm goods. The
storage agencies aae now to be
reckoned with, especially with
perlshable commodities, much of
what was formally wasted is
now economically preserved for
future consumption. Cold stor-
age plants now purchase meats,
eggs, vegetables, dressed poultry
and dairy products in the season
and when they are cheap because
OF excessive production, and store
them up till the time of scarcity
of fresh commodities and conse-
quent high prices. Farmers CO.
operative societies could very ad.
vantagiously coutrol cold stor-
age plants at the great market
centers; and keep this source of
proht Tor the farmers.
Modern methods of packing are
an absolute essential of success
IN marketing, Proper containers
and well graded product will
bring excellent prices Farmers
heretofore have been their own
worst enemies by selling second
and third class stuff a. first class
furthermore the farmer does not
give sufficient care to the careful
packing of his products. Dainty
containers for fruit. butter and
eggs create a good demand and
good prices. The appearance ofI
the goods mean much in the way |
OF demand and prices.
Farmers iii the past have de-
pended too much upon local mar.
kets; and commission houses for
sales III distant markets. These
are both bad methods, Local
markets are often glutted with
the same commodities that YOU
have TO sell. The merchant
therefore gives you the low prices
incident to a we'll supplied mar
ket with little demand. A farmers
exchange, such as the Society OF
Equity can establish connections
in the big cities, and create "A de
mand for choice foods packed un-
der sanitary conditions and und.
er the association brand. Such
goods bring excellent prices as
they are uniform and standard
in quality. Truly marketing is
the farmers greatest problem.
