SAYS TIE cYNIC

The Cynic, writing in the June Am
erican Magazine, says:
HOf course the word culture has
more meanings than any other word in
the world, the reason being that the
only way for man to define it is for
him to describe himself
''I saw successful man today who
declared that before the month is out
he is going to get his hair cut if he has
to take gas to do it. Which reminded
ME that, generally speaking, men whose
hair is always neatly trimmed do not
really amount to lot.
"'The young have an exaggerated
idea of the wisdom of the old, and the
old have an exaggerated idea of the
ability Of the young. Practically ev-
cry man succeeds, year in and year
out, in keeping up the illusion that
somebody else can furnish the brains
which he himself lacks. Human be-
ings admire each other much more
than is deserved.'

London, June 17.-Nineteen persons
were killed, at least 40 injured, and
many fires of more or less serious
nature were caused along the north
east coast of England when Zeppelins
dropped bombs at many places in tho
twentieth aerial raid under which
England has suffered since the begin
ming of the war.
Announcement of these details was
accompanied by the statement that in
the most recent previous raid, which
took place on June 6, "a persons were
killed and 40 injured. Previous an
nouncements had placed the number
of dead in that raid at five.
J. Names Of Towns Withheld.
The war Office maintained strict
secrecy as to the details of the latest
raid, giving no facts beyond the mum!
Der of dead and injured and the gen.
eral vicinity Of the attack. The names
of the towns visited have so far been
kept secret, as has the material dam
age caused by the incendiary bombs.
The greatly increased number Of
casualties in the raid Of June as an.
nounced has given rise to the belief
that the later attack also may have
been much more serious than describ.
ed in the official statement. Strict
censorship, however, keep the actual
facts from the public.
The raid is believed to have been
retaliation for the French aeroplane
fleets attack on Karlsruhe at day.

DECLINES PEACE PROPOSAL
|cARRANzA WILL NOT ANSWER
VILLAS Three OFFERS.
Intends to Press Campaign, Take
Mexico City and Gain Recogni-
ton Of United States.

Washington, June 17.-General Car

least to accept overtures for peace in
Mexico by the Villa-Zapata faction.
Three such offers have gone unans.
wered.
The latest, it became known. was
transmitted through the medium of
the United States without comment.
A few days ago the convention as
sembled in Mexico City, over which
Francisco Lagos Chazaro presided,
formally presented to the Brazilian
minister, the representative of the
American government for transmits
sion to General Carranza through di-
plomatic channels a proposal for q
thirty-days' armistice, during which
arrangements could be made for estab.
fishing provisional government.
Popular Election Suggested.
1t was suggested that both sides
should maintain a military status quo
and that the armistice be extended
from time to time while the parleys
continued. The plan included the
holding Of popular election to be
supervised by the factions in control
Of various sections of the country.
The proposal was communicated to
General Carranza by American Consul
6illiman. In inquiry as to whether
there would be any reply, General
Carranza is understood merely to have
Baid there would be none.
Proposal Is Unanswered.
The communication from the con-
venti0n government signed by Che
FARO was similar to one sent to Gen.
eral Carranza several weeks ago.
signed by Rogue Gonzales Cara, the
president of the convention govern
ment.
That, too, was unanswered. Since
last Monday Carranza has had a per-
sonal telegram from General Villa
urging conference of their represen-
tatives for a discussion of peace
terms.
General Carranza's intention for the
present is understood to be to press
his military campaign vigorously in
the hope that on taking Mexico City
and driving the Villa forces north
wafd, he will be in a position to merit
the recognition Of the United States.

The performances of the mining
companies at Hibbing in refusing to
pay taxes is most reprehensible, and
if there is power in state laws and in
state officials to make them come to
time, it. should be exercised. The com
panies seem to resent the fact that the
Hibbing people are acting like free
men. They prefer to run the munici.
palities themselves. The great trou.
BILE with the steel trust on the range is
not only the matter of taxation, but
that it has for years looted the man.
hood of the mining regions, and that
is more serious to the state than the
refusal to pay taxes.

USE OF HOG CHOLERA VIRUS Is
RESTRICTED

Farm, St. Paul, is distributing very
much less virus than formerly. The
present law forbids the sale, distribu-
ton, or use Of hog cholera virus, ex-
cept by a special permit from the
State Live Stock Sanitary board.
State serum is now selling approx
mately at the cost of production, l
cent per cubic centimeter, and not 1-3
Of cent as under the old law.
The general policy of the plant, says
DR.. M. H. Reynolds, Chief Of the Vet
Urinary Division, University Farm, St..
Paul, is to emphasize the serum only
method, intelligent caution in avoiding
infection, and the free use of disin-
fectants, especially fresh lime, which
fertilizer all that it costs. Forseeing
Of these precautions; one should make
plans in advance for the prompt ad~
ministration Of serum Or possibly Of
serum and virus in case the disease
does appear.
For the present season state serum
will be distributed-that is, sold for
storage at suitable places-in counties
where there is reason to expect trou-
BILE later in the season. This is to
make serum available for very prompt
administration.
All progress in dealing with this dis
ease and accommodating information is
constantly supporting more strongly
the Minnesota policy of making the Sc
rum-only method the common treat
ment. Virus with serum may be a
good thing for the individual owner,
but at the same time source o." dan
ger to neighboring owners.
