TON IN MEXICO MUST End
United States Takes First Step Towards
Possible Revolt After Constitution
alists Occupy Mexico City.
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, July 22.-Bryan's ap-
peal to Carranza and Villa to elimi-
nate their personal differences was
understood here today to be the first
step of the United States toward pre-
venting possible revolts in Mexico

capital. Bryan sent the appeal to
C~arranza through John R. SilIiman,
the presidents personal envoy. The
message to Villa was sent through
the United States consular agent Ca.
rothers.
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan are determined that the revo.
buttons in Mexico shall end when the
constitutionalists triumph and set up
a responsible government.
1t is hoped that the commission ap-
pointed to confer with Carranza re-
garding the peaceful occupation of
Mexico City will start its sessions
o and quickly complete its work.

THE "BRoTHER IN BLACK" Is
CAST OUT

Special to Ocala Banner:
birmingham, Ala, July PA state
convention of republicans is being
held in this city today, for the pur-
pose of nominating a full state ticket.
The members of the state republican
executive committee which met early
in June voted no negroes should par
ticipate as an anti-democratic in re-
publican conventions. This action was
taken by a majority of the members
as a result of a "steamroller" pro-
gram which went through on two
tests. 1t has provided that II coun-
ties of the republicans vote is cast by
negroes, should have no representa-
ton. The basis of the representation
in this convention is one delegate for
every hundred votes and fraction
thereof which were cast last fall for
Roosevelt and Taft. This action was
taken because of the exceedingly
small vote which Taft received in Ala
bama, and because the republicans
are anxious to reunite with the pro-
gressives in the formation of a fairly
stronger anti-democratic organization.

IN n


The fertility Of the valley of the
White Nile is renowned. British sci
entific surveyors report that its re-
markable productiyeness is due In
large part to the diligence Of earth
worms. which have been digging II for
thousands of years. Observations are
recorded showing that during the act.
i've six months of each year the cast
ings of the worms brought to the sur
face there amount to about 240,O 0
pounds an acre. Spread out evenly
this would make an a~ppreciable an
nual layer. Darwin estimated that
the castings of five years in England
would the whole kingdom with
a layer of new earth an inch thick
In the Nile valley the layer would
doubtless be thicker were the worms
equally numerous and busy, as ap-
pears to be the case, because the pro-
portion of non-arable land there is
much less than in the British isles.
1t must be remembered also, that
in addition to the beneficial service or
stirring up the soil, admitting air and
water more easily and bringing deep
deposits to the surface, there is a con.
slant fertilization effected by the veg.
etable matter dragged into their bur.
rows by the worms, much Of which is
left to decay where it will do the
most good. f'si 1870 Ias hi
