GERMANS LET UP SOME
IN THE VERDUN REGION
Only on East Bank of Meuse River Is
Bombardment Going On-Claim
to Have Retaken Corbeaux

London.-The German offensive has
been slakened in the Verdun region.
The French official report announces
that there has been no recent attempt
at infantry action on the part of the
Germans along the whole front.
On the east bank of the Mouse the
region around Douaumont is being sub
jected to a heavy bombardment, but on
the rest of the center and in the
Woevre the guns are not working so
actively, and on the western bank of
the Meuse, in that section from Beth
incourt to the Cote de rOie, the artil-
lery duel has been comparatively UNI
important.
In that region the Germans claim to
have retaken most of the CorDeaux
wood, the possession of which is likely
to prove a factor in an attack on the
Cote de role, the Germans also hold
ing Hill 265 to the northeast of that
important strategic position.

Spring and fall trade openings are
now recognized features in the cities
and the city merchants are pretty
well agreed that joint openings-all
holding their openings on the same
dates and according to some uniform
plan-are more effective than the
former individual and Independent
openings. 1t concentrates the inter-
est and enthusiasm.
Probably most country dealers are
still skeptical Of the value of the
opening for country merchants, but
we are of the opinion than an open
ing, especially if all the dealers CO
operate in putting it over" as
joint affair, has proportionately great
er possibilities for the town and small
city than for the large city. Even
the most elaborate city openings can
not create more than a ripple or two
in the big pond of metropolitan life,
whereas the country town and small
city openings may easily be made to
attract much attention and interest.
Furthermore, they can be made a
sort of a community get-together
proposition.
Note what o. B. James, hardware
and implement dealer at Richland
Center, Wis, says in a recent letter
to the Farm Implement News:
1T occurred to the writer two or
three months ago that by interesting
all of the merchants in town in a gen.
eral demonstration of all lines, and
by introducing a few special attrac-
tons, the results would be better
than from individual efforts. The
plan worked better than I anticipat-
ed. The crowds were enormous, sales
were large and the demonstration and
advertising features were more than
satisfactory"
And they did it right at Richland
Center. One of the features adver
tised in the program was a free style
show and entertainment, including an
imported interpretative dancer. What
woman, or man, would miss this
Other features of interest to the la
dies were a cooking exhibit and 6
baby show.
But the big effort was to get the
farmers to Richland Center. Will
this idea, there was horse show
and auction of fine stock, dairy ex
hibit, seed contest, display of nipple
ments and machinery, a few good lee
lures on practical farming and com
munity welfare, and some prizes wer'
offered. There were also foot races
tugs-of-war and a wood-sawing con
test between local merchants ant
bankers. No direct effort was mad
to sell goods, but the merchants o
Richland Center have been doing
good business since and believe
was we'll worth the effort and ex

SERIOUS TROUBLE
EXPECTED|NMEX|CO
CONGRESS SEES MANY cOMPLlcA
TIoNs IN SENDING TROOPS
DOWN THERE.
RUSH PREPAREDNESS PLANS
Quick Action Urged by Senators
Chamberlain and Borah-Look
for $4,000 Mexicans to Rally
to Noted Bandit.

ashington.-Danger of grave COM
plications. growing out of the sending
of American troops into Mexico to
hunt down Villa and his bandits, was
voiced in the senate on Monday by
Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the
military committee, and Senator Borah,
republican, in advocating laying aside
temporarily all other legislation in or
der to dispose promptly of prepared
ness measures. Their statements pre-
cipitated a general discussion in which
Senators Vardaman and Simmons de-
preciated suggestions that the United
States was not prepared to deal with
any situation that might arise in rela-
lions with Mexico.
While the senate debate was in prog.
ress, Speaker Clark and Majority Lead
leagues of the house on a conference
early in the day with President Wilson,
who urged them to speed up the legis-
lative program with a view to action
on important measures in time for ad.
journment in June. The house lead
er Kitchin were reporting to their col
ers agreed that it would be impossible
to accomplish the task ahead in SO
short time, although steps will be
taken to hurry on with the work as
rapidly as possible.
Preparedness Action Demanded
Demands for immediate action on the
preparedness bills were made in the
senate when the matter of taking UP
the public lands, water power and rural
credit legislation was preached.
Senator Chamberlain declared he
would not be surprised if, as result
of the punitive expedition into Mexico
General Villa we're proclaimed a ma
tional hero and $4,000 Mexican troops
rallied to his standard to resist Ameri
can troops.
Senator Borah, who has been among
the most persistent critics of the ad
ministration's Mexican policy up tc
this time, gave complete Endorsement
to the presidents action, but warned
congress to prepare for war, declaring
that no man knew what consequences
might follow the invasion of Mexico
even on a punitive expedition. He re
ferred to the presidents recent warn
ings to congress concerning interna
tional complications and said congress
had not needed the warnings, but haC
sat still with regard to national de
tense legislation
Senator Borah said also that unless
there was extraordinary speeding up il
congress the national defense figh
would come in the midst of presiden
tial campaign, and would then, DESPITE
any effort to prevent it, be becloude,
with politics.

they want a wage increase rather than

companies desire to test the sincerity
of the men, let them prove their belief

time. The shorter workday is the on
