Conferences of Foreign Trade Ad-
visers. Representing United
States, Suspended.

Purpose not to recognize or be bound
hv the British order in council decree
ing an embargo against all commerce
with Germany was registered in sew
era1 wavs Yesterday by the United
states government.
Conferences between the commercial
advisers of the British embassy and
the State Department trade advisers
TO expedite handling of American car
goes have been suspended by the state
Department.
Ambassador Page. in London, has
been instructed to inquire of the Brit
jsh foreign office the meaning of the
statement made in their memorandum,
issued Thursday. that the terms of an
arrangement between American cot
ton representatives and the BRUSH
government were acceptable to the
United States government.
Conferences Halted.
1t was because of the apparent mis-
apprehension in London of how far
they bind the United States govern
ment that these informal conferences
between the foreign trade advisers OF
the State department and British em-
bassy officials have been stopped.
Secretary Bryan said this step had
been taken IN order to secure a better
understanding with the British gov
crnment as to the capacity in which
the foreign trade advisers were acting.
The decision of the trade advisers to
SUSPEND their conferences. however.
was reached before the British Office
memorandum was issued and based on
differences of practical character as
to the shipment of American owned
goods from Germany through neutral
countries some of which had been con-
tracued for and some of which had even
been paid for before the order in coun-
Gil was issued. The text of the trade
advisers statement follows:

The American Potentate.

There are men in this world
yea, there are men right here i'll
this town and every other town.
who would be mad, and would
really feel insulted at being set
down as thieves, but to whom such
a name would III reality be a most
polite appellation---a very gracious
complement. They are the class
commonly known as dead beats. :"
They are meaner than the common
thief just in the proportion as the
confidential clerk who robs his en-
ployer is meaner than his less cow
ardly brother in crime who breaks
into the mans house and robs him.
And yet what a difference the
faw makes in the two.
A fellow goes into the store and
pompously calls up a clerk or pro-
prietor and orders whatever he
wants and tells them to charge it
and take it down TO the house, He
represents that he is able and will
ing to pay his bills and will do so
at stated periods or when present
ed. He knows that he is a liar
and a sneak; but he has beat every
body who has ever had anything
to do with him, and that he never |
pays a debt unless he thinks il pol
icy to do so i'll order to get in deep
er, and that whatever money he
has he blows in i'll extravaganza
or dissipation; anyhow. he lives
beyond his means, or for some rea-
son doesn't get enough to sup port
himself or his family in the style
desired, and instead of getting aid
from the proper sources if needed,
or sending his family to the poor
house, so that he may bear the
burden alike. he picks upon GER
tain individuals to support them
without any recompense whatever.
And il this grocery mentioned; af-
ter going TO all the expense of help
TO wait on this fellow, book-keep-
ing, deliver the goods, etc., to say
nothing of the goods themselves,
wants his pay as promised, what
does the law say about it? Simply
that if the man has large amount
OF surplus property to be available
he can be made to pay, but if he is
sharp enough to keep his income
collected up reasonably close he is
responsible to nobody and nothing /
on earth. He may assess any man.
whom he CAN deceive for the SUD-
port his wife or his children or him
self, feed them with food and

somebody else. Such is the pro-
vince of the only American poten-
tate who need account to no one

A drama with THE Punch. The
marvellous success which Harold
Bell Wright's first novel That
Printer of Udells" met with wh,n
it was first published startled the
English speaking world as nothing
else had done for years. The drama
made from this popular book is even
more powerful than the book and
needs to be seen to be appreciated.
The audiences are stirred to their
very depths from the very opening
of the first act and are held SPELL
bound until the end of the play.
The characters are not dead per-
sonages speaking out of the dead
past of hundreds of years ago, but
living, breathing men and women
OF the present. thinking the same
thoughts. living the same lives, suf-
fering the same sorrows. moved by
the same passions and enjoying the
sane triumphs as ourselves and the
people We meet IN the rounds of our
daily lives.
The scene of the play is laid in the
golden west," SO rich in incident
and character study, yielding to the
gifted author an infinite wealth of
material for his gifted pen. For
diversity of thought, lessons of
truth. and keen enjoyment. That
Printer of Udells'' surpasses in dra-
matte effect the majority of the
modern plays.

ment of unusual excellence will pre-

In A WAGON
BURNS UP $l25
Gasoline Can and Match Proba.
bic Cause of Fire

Saturday night, while on his way
home to the Magness ranch in Ohio
twp, Verne Ellis had a peculiar and
startling experience. His load con-
sisted of a little lumber. some gro
ceries and seven head of hogs. The
groceries included a can of gasoline
which had no stopper owe the spout
This. of course, would allow some
gasoline to escape from a full can at
each jolt of the wagon.
While on the road south of town,
near the cemtery, a blaze of fire
shot up behind him in the wagon.
He had no time to stop and figure
out how it happened, but got busy
separating the team and wagon
from the burning articles. When
the smoke cleared and there was
nothing more to burn, he had con.
siderable less load. One hog was
dead, his lumber and most of his
groceries gone, amounting IN all to
about SIPS.

NATURES
ON MANFRED SOIL
Expert Says Fertilizing Hurries
Up Maturing

j. G.. Hutton. Agronolnist:-"In-
vestigations at the South Dakota
experiment station, as we'll as any
other experiment stations, show
that crops mature earlier on a soil
that is well supplied with plant food
than on a soil which is lacking in
some OF the elements of plant food.
Just as insufficient food or an I'M
balanced ration results in stunted
pigs or calves, so from lack of pro-
per nourishment keeps crops from
maturing quickly or from making a
heavy yield.
THE corn crop is late this year
and the date of the first killing frost
this fall will determine what the
yield will be. South Dakota farmers
should not only grow early varieties
of corn, but they should see to it
that the soil is properly supplied
with plant food. Manure, phos
phate, and legume crops spells fer
tile soils for early maturity of crops
in South Dakota"
