Word of the arrival at the border also of Mrs. Jacinto Trevino, wife of the mil itary commander of Chihuahua state. had not been received tonight. It was pointed out however. that Treviro has been among Carranza's staunch- est followers, and it was believed that if his hold on the political situation was weakening. Trevino would be warned in order that he might also protect his family.
 Carranza Quits canitaI
 The state department had not re- ceived tonight word that Generals Carranza and Obregon had left Mexi- co City for Queretaro. Previous ad- vices however. said that the first chief would go to that place in con nection with the meeting of the finsn- cial convention. This is the only ex- plantation obtainable here for Carran- za's departure.
 Government Weakeniro
 Persistent reports that Carranza was about to leave Mexico have been in circulation along the border for some time. It is not known that the .Amer'can military authorities have been able to gather any definite in formation in this regard. Many war department officials have privately expressed their conviction. however. that the defacto or at least General Carranza's personal control of the sit uation. was growing steadily weaker They have another report that the time might come soon when he would be forced to leave Mexico.

OBSTACLES ARE
IN WAY To REACH
THE AGREEMENT

NEW LONDON, Conn, Sept. 15.-It
now seems improbable that an agree
ment for the pacifcation of the Mexi-
can border will be reached by the
MeXican-American joint commission
without prolonged discussions. Prac-
tical obstacles have arisen to nu.nar-
Gus suggestions already made, and to-
Gay Maj. Gen. Bliss told the commits
sions of objections that can be raised
t. many other proposals, including the
organization of border constabulary.
Gen. Bliss attitude toward the border
difficulties was disclosed during his
statement of obstacles to be surmount-
ed, but it is believed he shared the
view of many army officers that any
plan determined upon will depend for
its real worth upon the establishment
of stable Mexican government 1t
has been contended all along that if
the Carranza government were strong
enough to give practical cooperation
in forming a border police force, the
establishment of such force would not
be necessary.
Today's session of the commission
was brief, the Mexican members going
to New York at noon to attend tomo--
row the celebration in honor of the
Mexican national holiday. The com

Demonstration j. G. Oliver is urging

For ga cents per acre, Mr.. Oliver
states that the farmer can save his oats
from smoot.
Mr.. oliver has literature on this sub
ject and will be glad to explain to all
In referring to the matter of getting
the seed ready to SOW, Mr.. Oliver
states:
Good, plump, well-cleaned seed of Q
rustproof variety should be used 1t
is better to use that which was grown
il the immediate locality, or at least
within 100 or 200 miles, than seed
shipped from a greater distance. This
is particularly true of winter oats, as
this crop is grown only in the Southern
states, and seed obtained from the
North is almost certain to be of varie-
ties not suitable for fall seeding. II
homegrown or local seed is used it
should be cleaned and graded as thor
oughly as possible. If tanning mill
is not available for this work much
.chaff, light grain, and weed seeds may
be removed by pouring the seed back
and forth from one tub or bushel
measure to another in strong wind
If there is time before sowing, it IS
desirable to treat the seed for smut
with solution made yadding a pint
q pound) of commercial formaldehyde
to 80 gallons of water. Formaldehyde

any drug store. The easiest way 20
treat the grain is to spread it out on a
smooth barn floor, a tight wagon box,
or large piece of canvas, and sprinkle
the solution on it from an ordinary wa
tering pot. After the grain on the
surface is wet, the pile should be shov-
eled over so that the wet grain is mix
ed with the dry grain beneath, repeat
ing this operation unit all the grain
is moist. The seed should then be
shoveled into pile and covered with
canvas, burlap or grain sacks, and al
lowed to remain for several hours. It
may then be spread out in a thin layer
to dry before seeding, or the seed may
be sown at once. If the seed is sown
while still moist, the rate of seeding
either by measure or by weight, should
be increased to allow for the water
taken up by the grain.

BUSINESS FOLKS
IN GERMANY ARE
AFTER THE TRADE

BERLIN, Sept. 15.-That German
business men mean to make a deter
mined effort to recover lost ground ia
Latin-American markets after the wa
is over, is the conclusion that may be
drawn from rapid growth of the Ger
man Economic association for South
and Central America. This organiza-
ton, which was only formed on Sept.
l 1915, has already about 200 MEM
bers, consisting for the most part of
German business firms interested in
the South and Central American trade.
In an interview with a correpond-
ent of the Associated Press the mana
ger of the Berlin head office of the
association said that it is maintaining
but a quiescent existence now in view
Of the fact that no business corres-
pondence of Germans with the coun-
tries in question is possible. The Sc
ietey, however, has representative.
usually German business men, in all
centers of trade in those countries.
and nearly all of them have stavs--
where they were and managed, ac-
cording to last accounts, to keep their
businesses going in some way. The
services of these men will be drawn
upon again Immediately after the war
closes to give advice as to the best
ways and means for restoring German
trade.
That this fight to regain lost ground
VIII not be an easy one is evident to
al German business men. There are
different views among u.s." said the
manager of the association, "as to our
prospects for recovering this lost
trade. Our excellent organization with
agents everywhere who are thoroughly
well equipped for giving us quick ana
accurate business reports, will be
strongly in our favor. This, together
with the fact that certain classes NJ
German goods have held preferred
position in the South and Central
American markets before the war,
make not few of our people inclined
to believe that we shall recover ground
rapidly.
"On the other hand, de recognize the
fact that new difficulties have arisen
during the war. The Americans have
gone in and have been doing excellent
and effective work in winning South
American trade, have planted branch
banks, and has greatly developed
facilities. This is one
which we by no means under
rate. Another is found in the fact
that railways in some places are own
ed or controlled by English or French
capital, and wherever this is the case
the roads will probably make discrim-
nations against German goods that
would prevent their shipment into in
terror markets in competition with
British and French goods. British
capital in other forms also enjoys pow
erful advantages in South America,
and we are calculating that these ad-
vantages will be used against us to
much greater degree than before the
war. Altogether, therefore, we see
that the fight for the South American
markets will be a difficult one for us;
it will call for all our ability in or
ganization, and in the manufacture and
of goods-all the courage
that we can bring to our help"

MARSHALL GIVES.
STRONG PUNCH IN
HIS ACCEPTANCE

Thomas R. Marshall formally accept
ed the Democratic denomination for
the vice presidency here last night, not
for additional honor, he said, but in
the hope that may assist in the re-
election of Woodrow Wilson, who has
not walked where the path has led, but
has walked where there was no path
and who has left trail"
In speech of acceptance phrased
in characteristic vein, the Vice-Presi-
dent sketched briefly the, legislative
achievements of the administration, in
which he said he has been ian onlook-
er, and eulogized the President as
the man who brooded over the Re-
public in storm tossed times and by
mere words spoke peace on the troubls
-
changed administration, he declared,
would not dare repeal a single one or
the important measures put on the
statute books since March 4, 1913.
Wanting an ISSUE he continued, the
Republicans had turned to foreign af-
fairs, coming such phrases as Firm
Americanism" which they could not
define.
The American people this year
have made their own ISSUE" said Mr.
Marshall "Those that the parties pre-
sent may be only side issues. The
real issue of this campaign is that
thought which goes with the father 20
his work or business, which engrosses
every mother wife or sweetheart,
which sits down with them at every
fireside and goes to bed with them in
eFery home-and that thought is
Can the President of the United States
continue to so patiently manage our
international affairs as to maintain
honorable peace?'
"The one bright, peaceful spot under
the sun this day is America and it is
so because the President pleads guilty
t. the charge of using words rather
than shot and shell and shrapnel. If
America is to lead the world toward
that now seemingly far distant goal
where brute force shall be bound by
wisdom and conscience in fetters
which it can never again break, then
these are the hours for mere words"
The Vice President made a caustic
reference to the refusal of Theodore
Roosevelt to accept the Progressive
presidential denomination, declaring
the former President was a leader
who promised he would lead at
Armageddon but who, alas! deserted
at Bull Moose Rum" and now had
turned his back on the Holy Land
He predicted that the issues put for
ward by the Republicans would not
be accepted as such by the people in
the present abnormal year, adding,
You cannot interest bridegroom in
the tariff nor a widow in the coffin
trust"
The all-important question of what
tie Republicans would have done re-
garding the Lusitania, Mexico and
Belgium said the Vice President, had
not been answered by the party's
presidential candidate, Mr.. Hughes.
