Will Force Neutrality.

Washington, ID. c., June 29.-The
agents of the United States govern
ment all over the country are watch
ing carefully the movements of the
prominent Mexicans who have been
active in Mexican politics, to see that
there is no violation of American neu-
trality. 1t is said that the Depart
ment of Justice is in possession of ev-
idence which seemed to connect An
geles, Villas right hand man, with thd
plot to start a new revolution in Mex
leo, and in connection with Victoriano
Huerta and General Orozco, detained
Sunday at FL PasO.
For practically six days no definite
world has been received as to what
is happening in Mexico City. The
latest news, coming to Vera Cruz by
courier and reaching here several
days old, said that conditions in the
capital are extremely critical.
Much concern is felt here, Tor it is
feared that fighting between the Ia
pata and Carranza forces may have
been carried into the capital, leopard
izing the lives of the foreigners.

WOULD RATHER FIGHT
THAN WORK IN FIELDS

Paris. June 29-Service at the front
seems to indispose men for work in
the fields. The military authorities
gave a great many leaves to reserves
to permit them to do the work of
seeding; they were obliged later to
ask the local authorities to send back
to the front all men who neglected
the work for which they were sent
home.
An employment bureau organized
to recruit farm help to replace the
men at the front succeeded in placing
only $500 refugees from Belgium and
Northern France Spaniards, Kaby
les from Algeria and Moors were tried
unsuccessfully, yet, thanks to the
women the total wheat acreage is
II, 446,256 acres against last years 12.-
$4,000, of which 696,2O4 acres were
in invaded territory.
Reports from the eleven regions in
to which France is divided for pur
poses of statistics give the wheat crop
prospect as averaging 70 which is
considered quite satisfactory.
This average is about the same as
that of last year. Eight departments
show up better than last year and
eight not so well.
The departments that were invaded
and are still partially occupied show
the astonishingly high percentage of
rs.
The cash wheat market in France
is paralyZed by the governments re-
quirement that no wheat may be ship
ped from one department into another
unless there is shipped back in return
an equivalent quantity of flour.
Barley, oats and nearly all other
crops promise as we'll as wheat.

Bowling Green, Mo-, June %
Speaker Champ Clark is planning to
have motion pictures taken of the
wedding of his daughter, Genevieve,
but not for exhibition purposes. He

run it off on a screen in his home.
Speaker Clark has "set his foot
down." as his daughter expressed it,
on having any moving picture of the
wedding taken for the public. He
said he didn't propose to have the
wedding made circus of" by permit
ting pictb~es to be shown in theatres
after it was over.
Miss Clark today recalled that
among her friends who had such a
souvenir of her wedding was the
daughter of Thomas A. Edison. Miss
Clark, however, explained that she
was not so DESTROYS of having the
wedding itself Filmed" as she was of
getting the guests and the wedding
party in the film.

Irrigation in Egypt

The first, attempt at Irrigation in
Egypt was made by Menes, the first
king of the first Egyptian dynasty
known to history, who constructed the
great dixie at Memphis. Since then
the valley of the Nile has been the
scene of thousands of attempts to i'm
prove the fertility Of the land, Gull
rninating with the great Nile dam at
Assuan, which was completed three
years ago today, Dec. 28, 1912. The
Assuan dam is, but the modern deve1-
opnent of the age long series of eff
forts in this direction. The system
of irrigation initiated by Menes is that
of flooding the cu1tivab1e lands during
the annual rise of the Nile, thereby
refreshing the soil and securing a
plentiful supply of sub-soil water
which may be raised by mechanical
means after the river has fallen. This
system has stood without a rival as a
practical scheme of hydraulic en-
cheering for thousands of years. In
the last century many attempts have
been made to improve on this system.
The Barrage north of Cairo, the
pioneer modern irrigation project of
Egypt, was a miserable failure, owing
to Oriental graft and inef1ciency.
Tt was not until the English stepped
in, repaired the Barrage and made it
a,-success, and followed this with 9TH
er successful projects, with the mighty
Assuap dam the the climax.
