These Must Contain Gist of Subject Under Discussion, According to Rule Laid Down Yesterday-O'Don- nel Arrives
PRESIDENT ORME
 TO OCCUPY CHAIR
Chief Engineer and Irriga- tion Supervisor to Speak on General Issues at Stake-Hanna to Explain Survey Board Report
STATEMENT OF RULES
 BY ENGINEER DAVIS

The large number of people to be heard makes it necessary to limit each speaker to five min utes or less.
 Each is limited to one speech, until all who desire to speak have been heard.
 President John P. Orme of the Water Users Association will preside both at the Phoenix and Mesa meetings. He will confine the speeches to the time limits and the speakers to the discus sion of general principles.
 Individual interests are too numerous for this meeting and will not be heard.
 The fullest discussion on gen. eral principles is invited and the two members of the reclamation commission and the supervising engineer will endeavor to answer all the questions of the water users bearing on general issues.
 Individual interests and con- plaints may be later presented to the board of survey, which can give them full consideration in its recommendations.

Company as a distributing agent, have talked with the department officials about the severance of their relations as a result of an understanding here that conspiracy in restraint of trade will not be charged in the govern ment's suit, although an action will be based on the allegation that there is a restraint of trade.
 The fact that there have been nego- tiations between officials of the to- bacco company and representatives of the department was pointed out to- night as a reason for believing the question might be settled out of court.

WASHINGTON, March 10-Officials are satisfied that no act committed by national or state agents, was viola tion of the Mexican sovereignty in de- liverng the body of Vergara to Amerl- can soil. Comprehensive reports from General Bliss and American Consul Garrett at Nuevo Laredo cleared up the mystery. Secretary Bryan transmitted Garrett's report to Charge O'Shaugh- messy. in Mexico City, it is understood with the primary purpose of disproV- ing the original allegation of the MeXl- can federal commander at Nuevo La redo that Vergara escaped from cop tivitv and joined the constitutionalists. With the body in evidence, O'Shaugh- messy will be prepared to call on Huer- ta to redeem his promise to punish the federal officers who killed Vergara.
 Steps demanding the punishment of the ranchman's slayers are to be taken immediately The officially accepted view is. that Vergara was lured across the border, and murdered, and the body subsequently recovered by his own friends (not by the Texas Rangers), who crossed into Mexico as private in dividuals. and not as an armed expe- dition. Consul Garretts reports were read at the cabinet meeting, today.
 Secretary Garrison today received from General Bliss, a report of the Vergara case by Captain H. P. Howard.
 The report says, in part: Full in vestigation shows that Vergara's body was taken from the Hidalgo cemetery on Saturday night bv relatives of Yer gara and hired Mexicans." Capt. San ders stated positively that no TAxas Rangers had crossed the border. They met the body at it's landing opposite San Eneyque on Sunday morning.
 Secretary Bryan, entering the cabi- net meeting. said that American Con- sul Garrett had reported that relatives of Vergara recovered the body on Sun- day and that the Texas Rangers did not cross the border
 Garrett said he was notified that fl he would go to place on the Ameri- can border across from Hidalgo, at { find the body.
 He went there in company with Cap tain Sanders of the Texas Rangers ant the body was delivered to him by friends of Vergara Bryan said no rep vaccinations had been made to thu Huerta government.

UTILITY IS CHIEF STANDARD
Importance Of Careful and Systematic
Selection and Mating Must Be
Insisted Upon.

fRv r. G. WEATHERSTONE.)
In the breeding Of today utility
swings to the front as the chief stand
ard of merit. For this to be secured
and perpetuated the Importance OF
careful and systematic selection and
mating must be everywhere insisted
upon.
We talk about man being helped or
hindered by his environments. by boys
being brought up under a clicked en-
vironment, but do we stop to consider
the environments of the farm animals
from which we are trying to reap a
harvest of gain. or the animals that
are performing our farm work!
The success .ul dairyman Is the man
who applies the most improved busi-
ness methods to his dairy operations
from the COW to the delivery OF MS
produce to the consumer.
It is difficult to conceive OF a good
system of farming without there Is
systematic rotation Of crops. Any
other system is based largely upon a
hit and miss plan and is largely de-
pendent upon the season and mar
kets. The man who follows a definite
cropping plan every year is the winner
during a series Of years.
The practical farmer should regard
his farm as a book Of nature that is
spread out before him. inviting the
closest study and the most careful Cd
servation of facts pertaining to soil
climate, variety of production to which
It is adapted and the markets Tor the
products

Is It Your Kidneys?
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Troubles.

Many people never suspect their kid

trouble sets in they think it will soon
correct itself. And so it is with all the
other symptoms of kidney disorders.
That is where the danger often lies.
You should realize that these troubles
often lead to dropsy or bright's disease.

Constipation in summer time is more
dangerous than in the fall, winter or
