Barn Burned

Last Thursday evening about seven
o'clock the log barn on the Geo. w.
Eyeretts farm two miles south of Ma
nown was completely destroyed by
FIRE. The barn contained practically
all the feed belonging to Mr.. Everett
as 1t was filled from top to bottom.
AT the time of the fire new barn was
under construction and will soon be
completed. The origin OF the fire is
unknown but it is thought some mis-
creant set fire to the structure and a
clue indicating that such was the case
is being followed by the authorities.
Further developments will likely be
forthcoming soon.

=. G. Ricketts, was in the city today
from Graham. He reports that the
farmers are very active with their
spring work Wheat and oats are
doing well most of the corn has
been planted but the spring has
been backward and the corn is not
coming up well. He fears that some
of the early corn will not come up to
a good stand on account of the seed
having to remain in the ground so
long before the weather was warm
enough to sprout it. He expressed
the fear that much of the seed corn
has rotted in the furrow before it
sprOuted.

GERMAN SUBMARINES rIN0
THEY HAVE AN E,sEMY

Paris. April "a German submar-
inc has become securely entangled
in a net specially designed for the
purpose and placed off Dover, ac-
cording to the Petit Journals Dun
kirk correspondent who adds that
the French naval authorities expect
to capture the submarine when it
comes to the surface.
Miles of submarine traps have been
set by the British navy at harbor
entrances and other strategic points
around the British isles to catch
German submarines engaged in block
aiding England. The traps are not
unlike gill nets used by the fisher
men.
Malleable iron frames ten feet
square, three frames jointed, are sunk
to a depth of thirty feet, suspended
from immense buoys. If a submarine,
which is a blind thing when sub
when submerged its sides are caught,
causing the lower frame to buckle
upward catching the propeller Thus
the craft is in the position of a fish
floundering in a net and its occu-
pants are doomed
1t was reported three submarines
had been caught in this manner dur
ing the first ten days of the block
ade but this report has not been con-
firmed.

obreaon's Conduct Cited.
That these conditions are the di.
rect result Of the wanton and selfish
attitude Of the military leaders OF
different factions who claim TO be
fighting for the liberties OF the people
has been made most plain OF late by
the conduct of General Alyaro Obre-
gon. acting under the directions OF
General Venustiano Carranza. Cen
eral Obregon entered the City OF
Mexico on January 29 last. On the
following day the water supply OF
the city was cut The price of food
stuffs, already very high, due to the
depreciation in the purchasing power
Of Mexican currency rose to eXorbi'
tant figures, but General Obregon,
acting under the direct orders OF
General CarranZa, endeavored in ev-
ery way to prevent the introduction
OF foodstuffs into Mexico City. Not
only did he refuse the city council
railway cars for transporting such
+ contiguous to the capital ana con-
trolled by his troops, but he ordered
| his outpOsts to confscate such as
were brought in from neighboring
| regions on the backs of mules, horses
or donkeys. There is an abundance
| of evidence pointing to the fact that
| this inhuman conduct was part OF a
! deliberate plan to starve the pOpulace
| into enlisting in the ranks of his
army.
when the inevitable consequences
OF this plan began to eyince them
General Obregon addressed them
| through the press and by means OF
printed posters informing them that
| the shrinkage was due to spectators
/ and to the selishness OF the well-to-
/ do classes He Immediately decreed
special levy of 10000 900 pesos to
relieve what he had the effrontery
to characterize the desperate situa
tion Of the citys poor. When the
merchants refused to pay this tax
he invited the rabble to take what
they could by lootng and sacking
inf for ci tpr
that if this general looting began he
would march out of the city with his
troops, not firing a single shot to
prevent the mob from taking what
they wished But the people were
not deceived They refused to be
used as hi tools. The merchants OF
the foreign colonies raised a relief
fund of more than 100000 in a few
days by voluntary subscriptions and
the acute stage OF the crisis passed.
Prices Double Normal Period.
Prices OF food suffs in Mexico
City are two and three hundred per
cent higher than in normal times and
stil rising, due to the Vaccinations
of military leaders of the type of
Obregon. which, unfortunately, in
| cludes practically all.
What is true of the food situation
in Mexico City applies also to the
fuel situation. The spirit which will
starye people for personal gain or
selfish military ambition does not
make for liberty or democracy. Mex
/ leo must reap as she has sown and
unless the anarchy, chaos and desola-
/ ton which prevail in all parts of the
republic under the guise of liber-
ating armies is remedied. the world
