WAR WITH MEXICO
MAY BE AVERTED
Wilson's Demand For Release
of Prisoners Granted, But
War Preparations Continue.

Washington, June 28.-An
immediate break between the
United States and the Carranza
government has been averted
by compliance with the Ameri-
can demand for release of the
% troopers captured in the
fight at Carriza4.
Whether war has been pre-
vented or merely postponed, no
one here will attempt, to say.
Until Carranza's reply to Sec
rotary Lansing's note making
two peremptory demands is re-
ceived, there will be no deci-
sion ON whether President Will
son shall lay the crisis before
Congress.
The all-important question
OF Carranza's attitude toward
the American expedition in
Mexico remains unsettled. If
the Carranza government
stands upon the orders to Cen
eral Trevino to attack Perish
lng's men when they move in
any direction except toward
the border, the situation is
unchanged. except that there
IS a possibility of diplomatic
negotiations that did not exist
while the Americans were held
at Chihuahua.
The preparations Of the Unit
ed States for war will continue
The fact that Carranza has
complied with one of the de.
demands is considered an indi.
cation that he is striving to pre-
vent a break.
During any negotiations
however, the United States vii
insist upon freedom of move.
ment of troops in Mexico and
any attempt to Interfere with
them will be met by force.

NEWARK DEALERS GET
4 STATE CONTRACTS
Meat, Potatoes, Chickens and
Eggs for State Hospital to be
Supplied From Here

In the competitive bids sub
mitted a few days ago to the
State Board of Control, two
Newark dealers secured con
tracts for furnishing supplies
for the State Hospital at Little
Rock.
The Board advertises for
bids monthly for furnishing
supplies for the various institu-
tons under its control, and
contracts are made monthly for
one months supplies. In this
manner the Board secures a
better grade of supplies and
gets lower prices than if sup
plies were bought on the open
market as needed.
There are about 2,300 peo-
pie at the State Hospital, in
Guiding inmates and employees
and 1t entails a heavy expense
to maintain this institution
alone, to say nothing of the
three other state institutions
under the control of the board
1t requires $4,000 pounds of
meat to supply the State Hospi-
tai for one month, and the con-
tract for furnishing meat for
the month of July was let at a
recent meeting Of the Board to
j. ". Sisk Of this place.
f. c. Hoyt & Co, secured
the contract for furnishing
chickens, eggs, and Irish pota-
toes for the State Hospital for
the month of July. This con-
tract calls for $50 bushels of
Irish potatoes and about $1,000
worth of chickens and eggs.
The contracts awarded these
Newark dealers call for $4,1OO
worth of supplies to be furnish
ed during July.
These contracts were secur-
ed by our dealers on competi-
tive bids, and Hon. T. J. Raney
member of the Board, stated
to The Journal while in town a
few days ago that the Board
saved a considerable sum on
these supplies bought from the
Newark dealers, their bids be-
ing about 5000 less than the
next lowest bids submitted by
the other dealers for furnishing
the same supplies forthemonth
of July.

MUCH HOG CHOLERA
PREVALENT IN COUNTY

J. b. McKell, county demon
stratlon agent, was here a day
or two this week innoculating
hogs against cholera. He innoc-
ulated about 200 head of hogs
for farmers in this community.
Mr.. Nickel says there is a
great deal of cholera in the
county and he is urging all far
mers to have their hogs innoc-
eulated. Hogs are too valuable
to take any chances with losing
them, and farmers should be
very careful to take every pre-
caution against the further
spread of this disease.

 This compromise is to the effect that the general cOmpulsion shall not be adopted, but that the principles shall De formally adopted, that if in the future national interests are shown to require a full measure of compulsion, then it shall be adopted.
