hatred.
Civil officers here were in most cases
powerless to prevent summary execu-
tons Of Mexicans for many Of the

who worked independently Of civil or
military authority.

car when the bandits began firing. The
posses killed the man after Sheriff
Vann of Brownsville left the scene of
the wreck
The second Mexican killed was al
legged to be partner of the young
man on the train. Four Mexicans
were hanged to trees at various points
and four others were shot. These
shootings were on or near the banks
of the Rio Grande, where the closest
watch for Mexicans was maintained
for 100 miles.

Secretary of commek Fee Redneld ex-
plains that it was not the La Toilette
seaman's law that drove American
shipping from the Pacific. but that the
Pacific Mail Steamship Co. took their
action for the double purpose of spite
and because the company had oppor-
tunity to get rid of it's ships for vastly
more than they we're worth. Mr..
Redfeld thinks other American con-
Germs will put ships on the Pacific and
the transportation of american prod
ucts will go on as before.
Secretary McAdoo makes the letter
public as proof. thatsk he Democratic
party can do no harm: He is appar-
emily as firmly convinced. as ever. that
all business is wrong if it cannot COM
ply with Democratic folly. Not a day
passes that he does not let it be
known that he and the Democratic
party leaders are for a government
owned and operated merchant marine.
Their zeal for the rescue of American
business abroad is suddenly unbound
ed-as unbounded and as sudden as it
has become for national preparedness
for war. But neither McAdoo nor
the President can get away from the
notion that. regardless of the cost and
meaning of national competition with
American industry, it is Democratic

 Some time ago an ad appeared in y5uf paper suggesting that fruit grow CTS resort to the Use Of ice to re- t4rd the budding. ef fruit trees, and the writer since that time has been investigating the matter and the thought occurred 10 ne that possibly other growers in this locality would be glad to know more about this practice, which has been tried out in different states.
 The method usually pursued by the growers =in .sieing g. fruit trees is as follows First, dig around the base of the trees. 90 thst the ground is all Ioosened= deep enough Q allow the cold fo penetrate around the roots Second, place about two 2 pound pieces Of =iae under each tree, cover well with straw and then cover with dirt so= =as to= protect the ice from melting.
