Washington, March 25,-President
Wilson tonight issued a formal dec
laration that propaganda is dissent
mating false reports on the Mexican sit
uation to create intolerable friction be-
tween the government OF the United
States and the defacto government Of
Mexico for the purpose of bringing
about Intervention"
The president charged that sensa-
tional rumors wholly unjustified by
the facts" are being dispatched in the
interests OF certain owners of Mexican
property"
He added: THE people of the United
states should know the sinister influ-
ences that are afoot.
las has already been announced the
exp dition into Mexico was ordered UNI
der an agreement with the defacto gov
eminent of Mexico for the Gingle pur-
pose of taking the bandit, Villa, whose
forces had actually invaded the ter
ritory Of the United States, and is in
no sense intended as invasion of that
republic, or as infringement of its SOW
ereignty.
Appeals to News Agencies.
Il have therefore asked the several
news agencies 70 help the admnistra-
tion III keeping this view OF the sit
uation constantly before both the peo-
pic Of this country and the distressed
people of Mexico who are very sus-
ceptible but also very ready to believe
that these impressions proceed from
the views and object Of our govern
ment itself Such conclusions, II must
be said are not unnatural. because
tho main, if not the only source of in
forreation for thespeople of both sides
of the border is the public press of the
United States. In order to avoid the
creation Of erroneous and dangerous
inrressions in this way. | have called
upon tic several news agencies to use
Tic utmost care not to give news
stories regarding this expedition the
color Of war 10 withhold stories OF

Mexico. j feel that it is most desir-
able to impress upon both our own peo-
pie and the people OF Mexico the fact
that the expedition is simply neces-
sary punitive one to punish marauders
who raided Columbus and who infest
the unprotected district near the bor-
der. which they use as a base in maxi
ing attacks upon the lives and prop
erty of our citizens within our own
territory. 1t is the purpose Of our
commanders to cooperate in every
possible way with the forces of Gem
eral Carranza In removing this cause
OF irritation to both sides and to leave
Mexican territory as soon as that OBJ
ject is accomplished. 1t is my duty
to warn the people OF the United States
that there are persons all along the
border who are actively engaged in or
iglnating and giving as wide currency
as they can to rumors Of the most SEN
sational and disturbing sorts which
are wholly unjustlfied by the facts. The
object of this traffic in falsehood IL
obvious
ut is to create intoleruble friction
between the government OF the United
States and the defaeto government of
Mexico for the purpose of bringing
about Intervention in the interest of
certain American owners OF Mexican
property This object cannot be OBJ
tanned as long as sane and honorable
men are in control Of this government,
but very serious conditions may be
created, unnecessary bloodshed may re-
suit and the relations between the two
republics may be much embarrassed
THE people of the United States
should know the sinister and un-
scrupulous influences that are afoot
and should be on their guard against
crediting any story coming from the
border: and those who disseminate ths
news should make II q matter Of pa

source and authenticity of every report
they receive from that quarter"

FIREMEN BENEFIT
WAS WELL ATTENDED

John Barleycorn," the great story
written by Jack London, was shown
at the Crescent theatre last night, and
was given for the benefit of the men,
bers of the volunteer fir department
of Audubon. The Womans Club of
this city has been raising a fund for
the purpose of purchasing a fire
truck and have come within 500 of
raising an amount of money sufficient
TO purchase it. They prevailed upon
the managers of the Crescent to de-
vote one evening to the firemen.
They gladly consented to do so, Civ
ing the use of the theatre gratis.
The first show which was given at
1880, was exceptionally well attended
The second show was quite gener-
lousy patronized but the house was
not packed The firemen will realize
about $40 clear of all expenses.
Chief Smith was well pleased with
the manner in which the people of
Audubon responded, and he desires
to thank the public in general thru
the columns of The Republican, for
the patronage extended last evening
He also desires to publicly thank, on

PAVING WORK ABANDONED

The work of paving the streets of
Audubon has been abandoned accord
ing to Contractor Read. The greater
part of the gang has returned to their
homes in Omaha and elsewhere. 1t
will be impossible to put in any more
concrete base as the heavy frosts at
nights will not permit the cement to
set properly. 1t is indeed unror,un-
ate that Broadway could not have
been finished. Three days of good
weather would have put us in the
clear, but fate decreed otherwise.
If we have moderate temperature
during the next few weeks it is prob
able that the asphalt surface can be
put on, but the contractors are ex-
periencing all kinds of trouble in gett-
ing the material here from Joplin
Mo-, owing to the shortage OF cars
which at the present time are all
used in shipping coal. There is moth
ing sure about any more work in
Audubon this year. In the meantime
lets keep sweet and think of the
pleasure and enjoyment we will have
next summer after the work has been
completed.
There is a great deal of talk about
extending the paving next year. AL
ready number of petitions have been
presented to the city council, and il
a sufficient amount can be secured, nc
doubt the work will be extended. II
is estimated that at least 20 blocks
will be included in next years work

IOWANS TO RANK HIGH

Iowa will have three or four i'm
portant chairmanships in the next
house,if the republicans control. as
seems likely today On the face of
returns the republicans have five
more members than the democrats,
or a total of PIT. but this is one less
than enough to control. and the six in
dependents of the new congress may
change the results.
The most important Craftsmanship
that will fall to Iowa if the republic
cans control the house is that of the
committee on agriculture, which will
fall to Congressman Haugen. Con-
gresham Kennedy will be chairman
of the committee on rivers and har-
bors. Congressman Towner is rank
ing republican member on the COM
mittee on education and the COM
mittee on insular affairs, so that he
is sure of a Craftsmanship.
Congressman Good will be second
man, or next to the chairman on the
committee on appropriations, the
most important committee in congress
Congressman Green will be foruth
member on the committee on ways
and means, which would pass any
tariff bill. He is ranked only by
Fordney of Michigan; "Gussie" Gard
ner, Of Massachusetts, and James
Hampton Moore, of Pennsylvania.

AUTO ACCIDENT LAST NIGHT

Lawrence Albertsen who is employ
ed by S. NJ. Petersen near Hamlin,
was injured last night about six
O'Clock when the team he was driving
collided with an automobile driven
by Wesley Stetzel at point five miles
east of Hamlin. The lights of the
car were burning but in the dusk of
the evening the drivers did not see
each other until it was too late to pre-
vent the accident. which took place
near small bridge. One of the hor-
SEES was caught beneath the car while
the other one was thrown to the side
of the road. One of the horses had
its collar bone broken while the other
one received internal injuries.
Mr.. Albertsen sustained badly in
jured knee and other bruises but Mr..
Stetzel escaped without injury. The
radiator of the car was badly damag-
ed but otherwise it was able to pro-
coed on its journey. 1t was one of
those unavoidable accidents that fire.

reason to feel grateful that the in

WHY FLOUR is HIGH

The rapidly advancing price of
-four and other wheat products in am
pie for worry on the part of the
householder who has husky group
of youngsters dependent on him for
support and the necessary filling of
hungry stomachs. Wheat bread, or
dinarily one of the most common and
economical articles of food, is rapidly
climbing to a place with the luXures
and threatens to get beyond the reach
of that portion of humanity not bur-
dened with incomes of taxable pro-
portions. And the end, it is feared,
is by no means yet.
There is more or less talk about
combines" corners board of
trade manipulation" etc., to account
for the soaring prices of wheat and
-four. But the actual, the undeniable
fact is light wheat crop in this
western Semisphere. the most accu-
rate estimates obtained at the present
time place the wheat yield in the
United States for 1916 at about three
fifths of the 1915 crop, while Canada
likewise announces a market reduc-
ton in amount from her usual bum
per output. Russia. always one of the
great wheat producing countries OF
the world can be depended on TO
store her own crops for future needs,
while the other nations of Europe,
France, Germany, Austria, etal.,
ordinarily heavy growers of wheat,
are at present more concerned in
raising hell than wheat A limited
supply of any product coupled with
an insistent demand work inevitably
and unerringly to the consumer
pocketbook. Which is exactly the
situation today in the wheat and
flour market.

HAS GONE TO FARMING

Jim Jeffries, the greatest fighting
white man that ever drew breath, has
gone back to the soil. Jim is now a
farmer. He goes around his Burbank
ranch near Los Angeles in a dirty
ragged pair of overGlls, with a ten
days growth of whiskers decorating
his face. And the hayseeds stick out
all over him.
If you talk to jim about prize fights
he looks at you as bewildered as IL
you were addressing him in foreign
tongue He doesn't understand. But
talk to him about Holstein milk stock
and he will lambast you and have you
holding in wishing for the end of the
round.
Jim is specializing in Holsters. He
bought a bull the other day which
cost him $4,000. In the last year he
has spent $40, 900 in improving on his
property not counting 100000
house he is now building and $4,000
more which he expects to spend on
his herd Of cows. Il

WOMANS CLUB MEETING

The members of the Womans Club
met at Watts hall yesterday afternoon
to hear Miss Bessie McClenahan OF
the Social Service Extension depart
ment of the State University in an
address on one of the popular sub.
jects of the day. Practically the en-
tire membership was out to hear her
beside large number of visitors.
Mrs. c. H. Wilde was made chair.
man of the afternoon and handled
the entire program in most pleas
ing manner. Reports were also
heard from Mrs. John Wagner and
Mrs. H. A. Northup who were dele
gates to the Child Welfare conference
held at Iowa City recently. Both re-
ports were enthusiastically received.
After the program refreshments
were served by committee composed
of Mrs. T. B. Kerwin. Mrs. p. j
Stanton, and Mrs. Alice Burkey.
Miss McClenahan remained over
today to visit number of the baby
clubs in various parts of the county
and no doubt some interesting meets
were held as the baby in Audubon
county is considered far superior to
live stock and henceforth will be
given the proper consideration.

CASEY MAN BURNED BADLY
WHEN GASOLINE EXPLODES

After closing his store last Satur-
day night, T. w. Burns. a Casey mer-
chant, went to his garage to get his
car ready to take a trip early next
morning. He had lantern burning
which he set on the ground about
twenty feet away; and while filing
the tank in the car from a small can
containing gasoline he noticed the
fame of the lantern flaring up caused
by the air being saturated with gas;
the flame jumped to the can in his
hands and to tank full of gasoline;
he threw the small can away but was
already on fire himself-getting out
of the way in time to only get his
hands badly burned. His car was run
out of the garage and raced down
town for the hose cart. The tank
of gas exploded burning the shed in
which it was setting. and the adjoin-
ing garage also went up in a quick
blaze.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
MAJORITY AND PLURALITY

At election time so many ask the
difference in meaning between "plur-
ality" and majority that it is worth
time and space to explain, although
the distinction is one that is perfectly
clear to most readers. A majority is
more than half of all the votes cast.
A plurality is the excess of votes re-
ceived by one candidate over the
number given to the next highest
competitor. The matter can be made
more plain by illustration. Suppose
1000 ballots to be cast at an cleo
ton. A candidate must receive sol
in order to have a majority, although
it might be twice as large perhaps, as
the vote given any other single can
didate. A person receiving 500 out
of 1000 votes is said to have a ma
jority of 100. But suppose the 1000
votes to be divided among three can
didates as follows: To the first 400;
to the second $50, and to the third
$50. No candidate has a majority,
but the first one has a plurality of
so votes, that being the difference be-
tween his vote and that of the next
highest competitor.

terest they have taken in making the

fully appreciated by every citizen and
