Acid Test for Carranza Notes.

An object lesson on the difficulty Of
getting back from a state Of inflated
currency is being furnished in Mexico
where things are, Of course, immeas-
urably worse than they have become IN
Europe. The central government has
no strong authority, premium on gold
has long been openly admitted and new
issues Of parer have been put out IN
enormous quantity. The latest Car
ranza currency was backed by some
metal, and Fl was hoped would circu-
late al a higher value in consequence,
but IL seems 10 have failed TO meet
the srst test. According 10 dispatches
lrom the border, the liquor saloons OF
Iuarez refused 10 take the new money
70 any better terms than the old.

 cluding such plans and specifications,
 and detailed drawings as may be nec- essary for the immediate manufacture
 of arms, ammunition and other ma terial necessary for the defense of the

AS Professor Geer has studied the life and conditions in that coun- try and. as he is most we'll versed i'll his subject his address proved very instructive and enjoyable.
 The circus which the Y. w. c. A. members gave Wednesday evening was splendidly successful, financially as we'll as socially. The many acts were cleverly done and were greatly en- joyed by the large, appreciative audi ence.
 The members of the Y NJ. C. A. held the final entertainment of the year Tuesday evening. The program was unusually good as there were musical selections by the Y. M. c. A. orchestra directed by w.

M.

VOLUNTEER
PROVISION RETAINED
Photo by American Press Association.

Washington, April 8.-The senate
retained the federal volunteer provi-
sion in the army bill by a vote of SO
to "a, rejecting Senator Lees amend
ment to strike the section from the
bill. The vote ended a four-day de-
bate on the section.
Advocates Of the national guard as
the first line of defense behind the
regular army supported the amend
ment vigorously and the struggle was
one of the hardest fought in the SEN
ate at this session of congress.
1t began after the defeat of the
military committee last week when a
proposal to create a national guard
section of the army general staff was
written into the bill.
The narrow margin by which the
federal volunteer provision was re-
tanned makes it doubtful that it will
be in the measure finally framed by
the conference committee between the
two houses.

same time it was announced that
$1,0OO,000 would be expended on the
new 500 ore dock at Ashland.
This news means much to Barron
for things will be on the move now
so far as the Burberry line are
concerned, and it is altogether posi-
bic that a good job will be done in
completing the road from Hillsdale
to Emerald
A trade war has sprung up be-
tween Superior and Duluth and St.
Paul and Minneapolis, so the twin
cities are swinging their trade to
Ashland and in order ITO do so adj
vantageously have to use the 500.
This means that twin city traffic
will pass oyer the 500 to Mellen,
thence down on the Burberry line
and be transferred to the 500 main
line either at Barron or Cameron.
The chances are the line either at
Barron or Rice Lake will be straight
ened out and Barron made a more
important railroad point Barron
