WARNING SENT TO
GENERAL CARRANzA
British Ambassador and Oil
Concerns Make Complaint.
PLANTS CLOSED DUE TO TAX
The Threatened Action BY the Con.
stitutionaIist Leader srings ur-
gent Protest From Great
Britain.

Washington, d. c. The United
States government has sent warning
to General Venustiano Carranza point
ing out that serious consequences
may follow his threatened confisca-
ton of foreign-owned oil plants in
Tampico. This announcement was
made by Secretary Bryan after the
latter had conferred with Sir Cecil
Spring-Rice, the British ambassador,
and. Representatives OF American oil
concerns.
Already the Carranza officials have
practically enforced an embargo on
the expectation OF oil by big English
company. The British Ambassador, at
the suggestion Of Mr.. Bryan, sent an
urgent telegram to the British consul
at Vera Cruz, which he was instructed
TO show to General Carranza AS the
British fleet obtains much of its fuel
from the Tampico oil fields, the pos
sibility of serious complications over
the Carranza governments attitude is
fully realized by the American govern
ment.
Fear Confiscation.
Mr.. Bryan said that the foreign
owned oil companies feared confisca-
ton of their wells" by Carranza and
that the urgent representations had
been made to forestal1 such action.
A decree issued by the Carranza
government makes 1t impossible for
some of the foreign oil companies to
operate without the consent Of the
Mexican authorities, and some Of the
American concerns, it is said. have
been forced to pay so heavy a tax that
they have been practically compelled
to shut down their plants. Although
there are Dutch interests at Tampico,
no representations have as Yet been
made by the Netherlands government.
The prospect of battle on the
outskirts Of Tampico between the ad-
vancing forces of General villa and
the columns of Carranza, under Gen
Pablo Gonzales, is expected here to
develop the situation further. II the
Villa forces are victorious a solution
of the problem is confidently expected
because OF previous assurances given
by the Villa-Gutierrez officials in that
district.

this reason bottom land soils which have plenty of moisture will give best results.
 LespedeSa is usually sown in FeD ruary or March on oats or wheat, at the rate of 20-25 pounds to the acre. The seeds are commonly sowh broadcast after the small grain is up After the oats are harvested the clover covers the ground and is ready for harvest in September or October. If provision is made to allow the crop to reseed, the clover will produce an other crop the following year. It is frequently necessary to clip back the weeds with the moving machine in or. der to help the growing crop.
 The average yield of lespedeza where grown for hay, ranges from one to two tons per acre. Where the stand is good, a ton of cured hay per acre is figured for each six inches that the moving machine cats. The reason for this high weight is due to the low moisture contents of the crop.

LespedeZa or Japan clover is an an in the spring and continues until killed by frost It is comparatively slow h growth and natures only one crop Tn a season. It is a legume and like all legumes has the power of taking nitro gen from the air and thereby enrich ing the soil As pasture plant its value Is widespread throughout the South. AS a hay plant it's value Is only beginning to be realized, although a considerable acreage is now beine harvested annually in southern Arkan, sas and in several of the Southern states. In nutritive and feeding value the crop is known to compare well with alfalfa.
 Lespedeza grows on all types o1 soils down to the poorest and is known to withstand severe drouth. It is scat tered along roadsides and in pastures and due to it's reseeding habits, ire Quently enters into Bermuda pastures of it's own free will, thus making 9 very desirable combination. As hay crop 1t is very well adapted to ths southern counties of the state, where conditions of soil and climate art more favorable to its development The principal limiting factor in th' production of hay is the moisture sup ply.

Only High Class Stuff at Opera House

Mr.. Wilson, the new manager OF
the Nezperce opera house, assures
the public that only shows and en-
tertainments of real merit will be
booked by him-the high-class arti-
Gle that the people will really find
worth paying their money to see.
He states that all who attend shows
at his house can do so with full as
surance that they will not be disap-
pointed.
The Tom Christy Minstrels, which
played here Tuesday night to the
biggest and best satisfied house as
sembled here in years, he cites as
the class of show he expects to bring
in here.
For the first half of next week,
commencing Monday night with the
very popular comedy drama,
"Thorns and Orange Blossoms, "
The Raymond Bell company will be
with us. This high-class organiza-
ton of dramatic artists needs little
recommendation to the people of
Nezperce. They have been here be-
fore, and no troupe ever surpassed
them here.

when a special stock train of 80 cars
pulled out from the yards loaded
with cattle and hogs. Three of the
carloads of stock were purchased on
the Clearwater, and DO at prairie
points.
Railroad officials think yesterday
shipment but a forerunner of what is
to come. With the prices of grain
soaring skyward farmers are anx-
iously getting rid of their hogs.
With beef cattle prices holding their
own in large packing centers, the
raisers are evidencing a tendency to
turn loose their cattle.

How Grigsby Was

we knew what everybody knew-that
under ordinary circumstances we could
win from the Harkerville club. But
our twirler, Jim Grigsby, though the

unreliable. There were times whom
he would make losses which only
marvellous batsman could hit, while at
other times his pitching was decidedly
poor.
