c. C. Wilson has been in thi
eastern part of the state for the
past week on business.
Appeal to All Kinds of Business

No business man in any town
should allow a newspaper pub
lished in his town to be printed
without his name and business
mentioned somewhere in its col
umns. This applies to all kinds
of business, general stores, dry
goods, groceries, furniture deal
ers, professional men, tradesmen
and in fact all classes of business
men. This does not mean that
you should have a whole or half
page ad in every issue of the
paper, but your name and bust
ness should be mentioned if you
do not use more than a two-line
space. A stranger picking up a
newspaper should be able to tell
just what business Is represent
ed in a town by looking at the
business lineup in the paper. Get
into print. It viii help you and
the town too -Forgan Eagle.

Tuesday morning mail and'I told
the city feller that he surely
mustn't fail-that this was most
important-that Jim was nigh
ty sick-that he had a bad new
monia from falling in the crick.
And the feller sent the medicine
the order came right back
but it got here just a little late.
The train run off the track. Yes,
Jim is dead and buried-but for

was not the catalogues. The
railroad was to blame.

TO ADJUST MEXICAN DISPUTE
INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION BE-
ING CONSIDERED BY WILSON.
Question of lndemnification for Lives
Lost Is Most mportant-RepIy
to Carranza.

Washington, June "a proposal to
General Carranza that the United
States and the Mexican de factor gov
erHment submit the whole subject Of
their relations to an international COM
mission is being seriously considered
by the administration.
Such a proposal, if it is made, will
serve as reply to the Mexican note
demanding withdrawal of American
troops and may contemplate adjust
ment of many unsettled differences
that for years have caused accumulat-
ing embarrassment in the relations of
the two nations. Settlement by a
commission is provided for expressly
by the treaty of 1S48.
President Wilson and General Car
rama would appoint an equal number
of commissioners under the plan and
the meeting probably would be held
somewhere outside the territory Of
both countries.
For American Lives Lost.
There was no indication that the
President with whom rests the final
word as to whether the proposal shall
be made, had yet reached a decision
or that the reply would go forward
within the next few days.
Most far reaching of all is the ques-
ton of indemnification for American
lives lost and American property
damaged during the years of revolu-
ton in Mexico. No attempt ever has
been made to set an estimate upon
the amount involved in these claims,
but all are recorded at the state de-
partment awaiting settlement.
