MEN FEARED TO JUMP
BECAUSE OF GUARDS

Twenty-seven convicts today were
suffering serious injuries and two of
them were expected to die because
they preferred TO take their chances
in a collision between a switch engine
and a motor truck. to running the
risk of being shot. Thirty-seven pris-
oners were riding in the truck and
they saw that a collision was newt
able. None of them jumped for fear
that a party of guards in an automo-

WASHINGTON, Aug. Z. - The ad-
ministration is intensely disappointed
over the result to date of its Mexican
conferences Instead of finding that
the Latin-Americans were willing to
go the limit in supporting plans for
concerted action, Sec'y Lansing was
forced to report to the president that
many of them believed the Mexican
people should be permitted to settle
their own affairs.
SO far as armed Intervention by a
joint force was concerned, the United
States has been told none of the Latin
American countries would favor it.
They believe that if the United States
wants to use arms TO settle the Difficult
ties in Mexico, it should do so itself
on it's own initiative.
No date had been set today for a re-
sumption Of the conferences in New
York. Sec'y Lansing stated that he
hoped they could get together by the
middle of next week. But that VIII
be contingent on the rapidity with
which some of the South Americans
receive instructions 1t is understood
that complete reports of all that has
taken place have been sent to their
home capitals by the diplomats. All
approved the plan for another appeal
this time a joint one-to the MeXi-
cans to get together in the interest of
peace. But 50 far as further action
was concerned the majority of the am
basadors and ministers were without
authority to act

Meanwhile Sec'y Lansing Will pre-
pare the new appeal. 1t Is 10 be
couched in stronger language than was
the original appeal of the president.
The plan is to have il circulated gen.
orally throughout Mexico and TO serve
copies on Carranza, Villa and Zapata.
This appeal will point out that Mex
ico's right to settle her own troubles is
recognized, but ii will also be stated
that in the interests of friendship "the
sister republics" feel constrained %
demand that this settlement take place
at once.

day and report very enjoyable
time, everything on the pro-
gram being free even includ-

this city entered in the motor
cycle race, a five mile event
and a Rugby rider contended
that Mr.. Thorson's machine
was a racing machine and he
was barred from taking first
money on these grounds. The
machine that Mr.. Thorson
rides a is strictly stock
machine, there being about
$500 of them in use and all the

a 1915 3-speed Indian machine
with full equipment and when
this is considered we can safely
cay that this new worlds rec

COMMON SENSE xAIl lnsuRAuc {

Up in Saskatchewan, Cana
da, they have a provincial hail
insurance law that seems to be
about what we want in North
Dakota. It is what may be
called a state compulsory
hail insurance, with certain
limitations, the provisions of
which are about as fol lows:
1. 1t is operated by the state
at cost.
2. Each county can adopt
or reject it by majority vote.
8. Each county adopting it
has all the farm land insured
without any application or
or written policy.
4. Any land owner living
on and farming his own land
can withdraw any part of it
and save paying the premium
which IS collected with the
taxes but no landowner who
leases his land ccn withdraw
any part of it whether cultivat-
ed or not and the tenant gets
the same proportion of the
money received from the state
in case of loss by hail, as he
would get of the crop if he
harvested it.
This insurance costs them up
there about four cents per acre
or $6.4O per quarter section.
The state auditor apportions
the number of mills per acre on
all land not withdrawn when
all claims have been adjusted
and the county auditors place
necessary mills per acre on the
tax lists and the treasurer
collects as taxes. The passage
of law like this is one of the
demands of the Farmers Non.
partisan league. If you are a
farmer and want this law pass
ed join the league and elect
men to office who are pledged
to pass it.
This proposition should also
interest the business man al
the farmer who is hailed out
and uninsured cannot pay his
bills az a rule,
