EUROPE ASKS US. INTENTION
ENJOYS MAKE INQUIRIES AS TO
NEXT STEP IN MEXICO.
No Decision Reached With Respect to
Recognition of Any Government
in Southern Republic.

Washington, Sept. 1S.-Informal in.
quiries have been made by some of the
European governments as to the
in the Mexican situation.
Ambassador Jusserand of France
had long talk with Secretary Ian
sing. Colville Barclay, the British
charge d'affaires, discussed the stu
alton with state department officials
and notified them that orders had
gone forth to British consuls to con-
suit with American consuls on the ad-
visibility of Withdrawing from North
ern Mexico.
From high official quarters it was
learned that no decision has been
reached with respect to the recogni-
ton of any government in Mexico, but
the subject will be fully considered at
the Pan-American conference in New
York
Carranza's Invitation Refused.
1t is understood that ON account of
press of international affairs, Gen
eral CarranZa's invitation to the con-
ferees to meet him at some point on
the border may not be accepted, but
the suggestion of discussing with his
representatives the international ques-
lions involved in the situation is
likely to be met by an invitation to
Carranza to send delegates here in
stead.
1t is said to be the intention of the
Pan-American conferees to give an
audience also to representatives of
other Mexican factions who already
are en- route to Washington so that
before final decision is reached the
entire situation with respect to rec
ognition may be carefully studied
from all viewpoints.

new CLUE IN MURDERMYSTERY
AUTHORITIES SEEK AUTolsTs
WHO PASSED BUFFALO,.
Girl Who Sent Threatening Letters"
to Bergman Explains Them as
Lovers Quarrel.

Minneapolis, Sept. 1S.-Who were
passed through Buffalo on the night
of August z, which is the supposed
date of the murder of c. E. Vern Berg
man, former Minneapolis jitney driv-
er, whose body was found hidden
among bushes in a secluded field near
Buffalo?
This is the clew the Wright county
authorities are working upon in their
efforts to find the murderer-the only
clew left of half dozen that have
been run down without effecting a So
luton.
Norberg in North Dakota.
Two leads were exhausted when
Milton Norberg, with whom Bergman
was supposed to have gone on the adj
vertising trip that led to his death,
was located in Henry, North Dakota,
and the nurse who sent Bergman
threatening letters was found to be
Miss Belva Linn Welch, who formerly
was engaged in a private hospital
at 20 East Franklin avenue. Miss
WEIGH explained that the sup
posed threatening letter simply was
part of a lovers quarrel. Norberg
has been on ranch since July % and
said he knew nothing of the advertis-
ing scheme in which he was supposed
to have been associated with Berg
man..
John and Otto Bergman of Duluth,
brothers of the murdered man, went
to Buffalo and claimed the body. 1t
was taken to Duluth for burial They
were unable to shed any light upon
the mystery.

London, Sept. 1S.-Stern battles are
being fought all along the eastern
front from Riga to the Roumanian
border, and while the Germans con-
tinue to advance slowly in the north
and center, the Russians in the south
are repeating their successes against
the Austro-German armies, which are
now being driven back across the
River Stripa in Galicia and have been
forced to retire westward, north of
the Galician frontier. Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg, who began his often
sive against the Vilna-Dvinsk railway
week ago, has not yet established
himself on the line. His cavalry
back. Nevertheless, he has driven
the Russians across the Dvina River,
north of Dvinsk, placing that city in
rather dangerous position, and also
has made progress north of Wilma.
Germans Capture Pinsk.
Field Marshal Won Mackenzen has
passed his forces through the Pripet
and is now in possession of
Pinsk. From this point southwark the
Russians are advancing and have re-
occupied number of villages.
A good deal of Importance is attach
ed to the decision of Russia, to call
to the colors the reserves of the terri
torial army. Should the age limit be
fixed at 35 years this fresh call would
mean the possible addition of S,O0O,- |

The modern potato digger does
cleaner work than Is usually done by

tured. and the expense of harvesting
the crop can be reduced about 3 cents
per bushel

PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS
ABOUT FLOWING

The depth at which land should he
plowed depends much upon the sea-
son of the year the kind OF soil and
the physical condition OF the subsoil.
Fall blowing. except for fall-sown
grain. should Invariably be deeper than
spring blowing. as there Is more time
for II TO become sufficiently settled and
compacted. Whenever land is plowed
quite deeply and the climatic condi-
tions do not thoroughly settle the fur
rows II should he thoroughly worked
before IT is planted.
Heavy soils need to be plowcd deeper
than the lighter types OF soils. Such
soils usually have quite compact sub
soils, and they are benefited by being
brought to the surface. 1t Is also
benefit 10 heavy soils TO bury the vege-
table matter at n good depth. as this
will assist in keeping the suOsoil from
becoming too compact
Lighter soils are very much the op-
poste. Their suhsoils are usually not
too compact. and Il is better 10 have
the vegetable matter mixed with the
surface soil. Deep blowing OF such
soils has tendency 10 make them too
loose, and care should be taken 'to
thoroughly compact them before they
are planted 70 crops.
Flowing land continuously Mt the
same depth every time has n tendency
to form a hard compact layer in the
subso!i Mt that depth. This is an UNI
desirable condition. and can usually be
avoided by varying the depth slightly
from year TO year. New land. when
first brought under the pillow. should
not be plowed too deeply. While 1t
may be desirable 10 ultimately have a
furrow six or seven inches In depth
1t should be brought about gradually
by blowing half-!noh or so deeper
every year.
A method OF draining fields which
has proven satisfactory and inexpen-
sive Is ridGtng the land while plow-
ms.
The pillow Is started In the middle.
where two furrows are plowed against
each other. BY turning the horses to
the right whom making the turns Mt
c and D. the dead burrows will be To-
Gated at a and B and r and +. BY
continuing this system q series Of
years, the bitches are made deeper year
by year. No ridge is formed on the
sides OF the ditch. BY commencing to
pillow In this way, and by varying the
back burrows one year little to the
right OF c and D, and another year n
little to the left. the dead burrows will
be made broad, rather than deep. maxi
ing the fields gently undulate. Instead
OF being cut up by deep bitches and
narrow. high ridges.
