vote-Hughes will be elected; and
he will be supported in Congress in
way that will make the eyes of the
world pop open as they did when De-

to let the Old Guard seem to win over

sage to the people was the one he
sent to Chairman Harding of the
convention accepting the nomination

lean he is, the kind of Americanism

he despises expedients and make
shifts at the expense of sacrificing
plain duties under the laws and low

clear his code which is devotion to
duty, the upholding of the right, and
the guarding of the nations honor

one classical fight over the heads of
the people; not one covert strain of
superior culture-just the steady
stroke of an engine in perfect order

SENDS ULTiMATUM TO THE CON-

San Diego, Cal.-An ultimatum
amounting practically to declaration
of war against the United States was
served Sunday on Commander Arthur

oils by General Flores, Carranza gov
ernor of the state Of Sinaloa, accord
ing to a radiogram from the Annap-
oils at Mazatlan and received here
Monday by Admiral Winslow, COM
mander-in-chief of the Pacific feet.
According to the message, the COM
mander Of the Annapolis advised all
Americans to leave as soon as. pos
sible. The boat from the war vessel
containing Ensign O. o. Kessing, Pay
master Andrew Mowat and a number
of bluejackets approached the wharf,

Americans returned the fire, and as
far as known six Mexicans were

the fortress, but later were released
on demands presented to Flores by
Commander Kavanagh.

A BOOST FOR
PARCEL POST
New Invention Will be Help
to Farmers

Washington, June 10-An inven-
ton said to mean millions to farmers
postmasters and others has just been
approved by the post Office authori-
ties. 1t is a container for parcel post
shipments specially adapted to the
shipment of eggs and is said to sup
ply the missing link in the farm to
table service" originally contemplat-
ed in the Inauguration of the parcels
post system.
The new container is made of the
same fibre as used in the manufac-
ture of car wheels, is very light and
yet strong enough to bear the weight
of a man. At the same time, it is
said to be a non-conductor of heat
or cold, so that cold articles remain
cold and hot article remain hot when
shipped in this container. A pecul-
lar inner arrangement of thin fibre
partitions absorbs all shocks.
Post Office department experts,
after making a test of the container,
reported on it favorably, adding in
our opinion it is superior in every
way to containers for this purpose
that have been submitted to this com
mittee for examination. The con-
tainer when filed with eggs is said
to have been dropped a distance of
three feet to a marble floor without
breaking an egg.
The value of the new invention to
the postmaster is not alone in the
increased cancellation of stamps
through the additional parcels post
business, but in the plan to have the
postmasters of smaller cities act as
agents on commission for putting this
new invention into service. The con-
tainer will thus be put into immedi-
ate use throughout the country, each
postmaster having exclusive rights
to bis community, other agents be-
iliS dppOlultu SnOulu TIC pOobhidotCi
decline to act The value to the
farmer is seen in the ready disposal
of his eggs and other produce direct
to the consumer thus eliminating the
middle men whose profits can be di-
vided between the farmer and the
consumer.
One of the new features of the
box is its reversible tag which can be
stamped and addressed on both sides.
F. w. Edwardy, the inventor, at the
Oxford Hotel, here, attaches consid-
erable Importance to the tag which
he says thus insures the return of the
box to the original sender, withhold
ing it being a violation of the postal
regulations he says. The box will be
leased for soc year and in no case
sold outright.

MExIcANs TALKING WAR.
Big Demonstration in Mexico City to
Show Patriotism.

Mexico City-The streets and pub
lie squares of the capital were
thronged all Monday afternoon with
patriotic paraders, who marched to
the various public offices, led by
bands and carrying the national en-
blems. as evidence of their willing
ness to defend the country's honor
and dignity in case of foreign war.
More than 10000 persons gathered
in the great square bounded by the
cathedral and municipal palaces,
where they were addressed by Cen
eral Carranza, War Minister Obre-
gon and other members of the gov
ernment. General Carranza told the
throngs that Mexico was not seeking
war. but would not avoid it at the
cost of national dignity.
Mexico" said General Carranza,
will not declare war on the United
States, but will know how to do her
duty If hostilities are forced upon
her"

Charles f.. Hughes.

The Republican candidate for pres
ident has never been favorite with
the men of the far west.
There has been a feeling that when
his Baptist parents had him baptized,
either the water, hot at the start. was
frozen by him and he had to be cut
him into ice water and he has never
been warm since. They have uncon-
sciously been recalling the pictures
of the last generation of the sad-fac-
ed but great-hearted Lincoln; the
magnetic, kindly Blaine; the imperi-
Gus and proud, but always aggressive
and outspoken American, Conkling;
the fiery, impassioned all-compelling
Baker; the thoughtful, masterful
Moreton, and the others that we're
wont to sway senates, and give their
countryman glimpses of what their
country really was and what it soon
would be is the people we're great
enough to manage wisely the mighty
inheritance bequeathed to them by
the fathers; and as Hughes has
seemed to them, he was austere but
a faithful plodder, like the steam en-
gine that takes huge steamship out
of port, out over the harbor bar, out
against the winds and storms, out
over raging seas to a destined port
without once changing its steady
stroke.
When the convention met last
week in Chicago and the time came
for nominating candidates, the minds
of the west were filed with the MEM
cries of Ingersols speech nominating
Blaine, and of that marvellous tri-
umph of Conkling's when, after fac
ing hostile convention for half an
hour, until by his presence he beat
them into silence, he lifted up his
voice and in a tone half sharp and
half trumpet began.
"If you ask what state we hail from,
Our sole reply shall be:
We hail from Appomatox
And it's famous apple tree
And in twenty minutes, without in
the least surrendering his imperious
air, had the men who had tried to
drown him out jumping like lunatics
upon the benches and yelling for
Conkling and Grant. Nothing echoed
from Chicako last week was an echo
of those earlier speeches.
The nearest approach to them was
the brief. indignant speech by Gov
Johnson of California in the Progress
sive convention.
But the stalwarts of the Republi-
can convention rode like the steam
ship cited above through the gales
and angered seas of the convention to
the finish, that brought to the people
as the chosen candidate for president,
Charles Evans Hughes.
And now who is he?We only know
that he was a precocious boy, fond of
study from the beginning, that he
won prize after prize in school, that
he graduated with distinguished hon
ors; that he never accepted aught but

Hostilities May Follow Receipt Q

Washington.--Upo General Car
ranza's reception of stern refusal to
heed his demands for recall of Amer
ican troops from Mexico hinges the
question of Mexican war, in the
opinion of President Wilson's close
advisers. They are prepared for the
possibility of open hosilities after the
note has reached Carranza's hands.
No indication has come that tho
first chiefs attitude of implacable hos
tility would be shaken by the reiter-

aggressive or warlike purpose toward
Mexico, but is firmly resolved to pro-
tect her borders and end brigandage

GOOD PASTURE
is NECESSARY
Feed Must be Provided For
All Your Stock

The need of a temporary or annual
pasture is felt by the farmer in num-
erous instances. A sudden increase
In the amount of livestock may mean
that the area of the permanent past
ure is too small. Should the perma-
nent pasture winter kill or be de-
streyed some pasture must be provid-
ed until another can be laid down for
permanent use.
Some of the requirements of a tenn
porary pasture are:
l.. The ability to grow on exhaust
ed soil
2. Rapid growth-to furnish feed
soon after seeding.
3. 1t must be persistent, not easily
killed by grazing, and able to recov-
er after being eaten off.
a. Cheap seed-because it is sown
each year.
5. 1t must leave the land in good
condition
Annual plants are usually sown for
temporary pastures. Those best
adapted for such use are oats, barley,
spring and fall rye, peas, vetch rape,
sorghum, and some of the millets.
Sweet clover and red clover, while
not ANIMALS, are used in places.
Winter rye makes excellent pasture
for late fall or early spring. 1t can
be grown on poor soil, Is ready to
pasture in to weeks after sowine
and If not pastured too closely in
the fall will furnish good feed the
following spring. 1t should be seed
ed from to pecks to the acre and
it is we'll to drill the seed two or three
inches deep to prevent stock from
trampling the roots.
Rape is sometimes of value on the
livestock farm as 1t will furnish good
feed in the autumn when there is lit
tie other green feed. 1t may be sown
through the ground and will make
good pasture after the oats are har-
vested. Glover and rape are some
times seeded together on the oats.
When a field is foul with weeds, the
rapid growth of rape will usually
smother them out. Three of four
pounds of seed per acre are sufficient
for any of the seedlings.
Spring rye, oats, or barley sown
singly or in mixtures make good sum-
mer feed. The addition of field peas
to any of these cereals is a great i'm
provement. One bushel of grain to
one bushel of peas is usually to be
recommended. The earlier these are
seeded the better
A mixture of oats 5000 pounds,
Sudan grass 20 pounds, and red clo-
yer 10 pounds, will give pasture for
a considerable time, the oats coming
on early in the summer, the Sudan
grass during the hottest weather.
while the clover gives some fall feed.
Two or three pounds of rape may be
added to this mixture but if this is
done, 1t would be well to use but
half the original amount of Sudan
grass. Where the summers are hot
enough other sorghums may replace
the Sudan grass.
A succotash mixture of oats 4
pecks. wheat 2 pecks, barley pecks
and rape 2 pounds, is proving salts
factory in places. Sudan grass Cor
other sorghums) and clover may be
added to this mixture if desired
Up to this time the millets and
sorghums have proved valuable only
wheer there is considerable summer
heat.-G. S. Ray, Farm Crops De-
