w. r. c. Arranses For Presentation on
Tuesday, Juno 20.
The local high school will receive a
large silk American flag from the
Ladies Of the w. r. c. Of Iowa at the
time OF the state encampment here.
In a letter received Monday by Secre-
tary Johnson, OF the MarshaHtown
Club, from Mrs. l. L. Schrack. OF
Parkersburg. president of the w. r C.,
Mrs. Schrack said she was arranging
for a flag drill on the same day on the
high scihUUi CAMPUS.
Mrs. Schrack also said that there
was band composed Of young men
from Parkersburg which would come
to the convention provided some ar
rangement was made to furnish them
with accommodations while here. The
committee will probably take no action
on this. as there are several musical
organizations which desire to furnish
the music, and the town can not take
| care Of TOO many bands.

THE ALABAMA MINISTRIES.
Showed Last Night to Large We'll
 Pleased Audience.

Those who failed to see the Ala bama Minstrels last night missed a very rare treat in the minstrel line, and one that will not be forgotten by those who were so fortunate as to witness the performance. Manager Erickson is giving the people show that is not only amusing but was thor oughly clean in every respect. In fact, there was not one present who could find anything that would of fend the most fastidious tastes of the city, y
 The show is full of fun, good jokes and late songs, all well gotten up and we'll rendered. The fire eating act is exceptionally good. The com pany, consisting or forty people, travel in their own private cars. Should MT. Erickson ever return to our city he is assured full house as he has made many friends for his show by honest dealing and giving the people their moneys worth in first-class entertainment.-Greenville Morning Herald, Greenville, Texas.

Berlin. Sept. l2.-The German people
are becoming more and more dissatis-
fled with the new government food de-
partment. The optimistic statements of
Herr Won Batoeki, the new "food dis
tator" about the food outlook led the
people to believe that by fall condi-
tions would be greatly improved. But
instead of becoming m re plentiful,
food supplies are becoming more and
more organized until within short
time, if the distribution of cards is con
tinued, food will be on an absolute ra.
tions basis.
"Though the crops were good this
year, there will be probably so much
organization that food will spoil, "
said one critical German.
At present each family is entitled to
eight different kinds Of food cards.
They are for bread, potatoes, sugar,
fats, milk. meat, eggs and one for GER
tain dried vegetables, saccharine and
oatmeal. Because of the growing short
age Of marmalade and cheese two more
cards may be added to the list.
The lack Of sugar, tin and rubber
have prevented many families from do.

CONVENTION WILL
Be CALLED SOON
Mexican Commissioners Say
This Will Be Done Before
Year Ends
AMERICAN FARMERS TO
INSTRUCT MEXICANS|
State and Presidential EIec-
lions To Be Held Early
Next Year
By Carl d. Groat

Omitted Press staff correspondent
New London, Sept. 12.-Supporting
their claim that the Carranza regime
is now in strong position and that
its strength will become even greater.
the Mexican commissioners announced
here today that call for constitu-
tional convention may be momentarily
expected. The convention will be fell
lowed by state and presidential cleo
tions. The convention is expected to
sit before the first of next year.
The morning conference between the
American and Mexican commissioners
today was given over to consideration
of political developments in Mexico
since the Aguas Calientes convention.
All of the commissioners called ON
President Wilson today to pay their
respects at 2 o clock this afternoon.
American farmers to till Mexican
soil and American teachers to train
Mexican minds--that was plan before
the American Mexican peace commits
sion today.
Such a program was intended to be
part of Mexico's contemplated regen-
Grafton. The commission agreed that
it would be feasible.
As formulated thus far, the scheme
is only to have such numbers of Amer
leans as will set an example for the
Mexicans and there is every intention
to avoid anything that smacks of Amer
lean interference or control
Country Blooms Again
The Mexicans presented data today,
supplementing Yesterdays on rail
roads, to show that there is an honest
effort to make the rich country below
the Rio Grande blossom anew after six
years of civil strife. They told t1s
American commissioners that while
crops in some parts of Mexico have suf-
fered from lack of labor, other por-
tions show remarkable productive
ness.
These essential underlying economic
problems will be thoroughly probed be-
fore the question of Withdrawing Amer
lean troops is determined definitely.
Both sides agree that work must be
provided, and that the uneducated must
be taught before Mexico can have any
assurance of continued progress,
President Wilson 5 presence in New
London, six miles from the Griswold
notel, commission headquarters, had no
effect upon the meetings. The Amer
lean group explained that their visit
there last night was strictly to pay
their condolences and not to talk Mex
lean matters.
Secretary of the Interior Lane and
his conferees hoped to be able to re-
port to the president within the next
few days a definite plan contemplat-
ing the withdrawal of American forces
from Mexico and restriction Of the bor-
der patrol with fewer men than at
present.

Party Managers Views

New York, Sept. 12.-Republicans
are confident and gratified and demo-
Gratis are encouraged and satisfied with
the results of the Maine elections of
yesterday, according to statements of
the leaders of both parties today.
While the republicans claimed the elec-
tions indicate complete reunion of
the republican and progressive parties
the democrats maintained that later
figures will show that a large percent
age of the progressives voted tne demo-
cratic ticket.
Chairman Wilcox OF the republican
national committee in commenting on
the election said;
81 regard the Maine result as an
indication of the certainty of election
of Hughes and Fairbanks in November.
The election has proved we are re-
united party. That means success in
the campaign. The administration
turned loose its cabinet members and
best speakers in Maine and made a
fight for tho support OF the administra'
tion and this vote is and will be de
termined by the people of the country
as Maine s verdict on the administra-
ton. | was with Mr.. Hughes for an
hour last night and he feels very much
gratified over the result in Maine.
Chairman Mccormick of the demo.
cratic national committee smiled and
told the newspapermen he had no 'sad
song to sing.
Mccormick said: ga plurality of ap-
only ten thousand in com
parison with the republican pluralities
in Maine in past years, indicates that
this is democratic year and that Pres
ident Wilson will be reelected. l think
this is particularly significant, when
it is realized that President Wilson is
stronger by far than the local ticket in
Maine, according to advices when
come to me.
az most certainly do not coneede
general return of progressives to the
republican party. have not yet had
time to analyze all of the figures but
reports tell me that the democratic
party got n goohy percentage Of the
progressive votes and / am positive
that we will get at least % per cent
of the progressives in the presidential
elections.
''You must remember this was To-
cal election. President Wilson's name
was not on the ballot and l am sure
that IL It had been the democratic par
ty would have polled ten thousand
more votes.

THOMPSON ON STAND
TO PROVE AN AL|B|
Says He Was at Sister-in-
Laws Night Of Murder
She COrroborates 1t

Hillsboro, Or, Sept. 12.-Bennett
Thompson, ranch hand, on the witness
stand in his own defense today denied
that he killed Mrs. Helen Jennings and
Fred Ristman, a jitneur, at the Gore
ranch last May.
AT the time the state alleges he was
numbering Mrs. Jennings with sledge
and beating Ristman to death with a
hammer, Thompson declared he was at
the home of his sister-in-law, Mrs.
James Thompson, preparing milk for
the baby.
This alibi was supported by the evil
dence of Mrs. Thompson herself. She
asserted the accused man was at her
home all during the night of the double
murder.
1t is alleged Thompson killed Mrs.
Jennings when she scorned his ad-
vances and then disposed of Ristman,
whom he had hired to drive him to the
ranch to cover his tracks.
