kindly requested Carranza to take
the Mexican army out Of the
Benited States. The object that
they came here for was accomp-
lished as far as they could ac-
complish it, and there seemed to
be no reasonable excuse why they
should longer remain on our side
of the border.
But don't you think Carranza,
the insolent half-breed, stubborn
ly refused to order his troops
home. He sent back an insulting
note to President Wilson saying
that his army should stay here as
long as he pleased, and that we
had better just lay low and say
nothing.
Well, that didn't look so good,
but President Wilson is very
patient, and so he sent another
request for the withdrawal Of the
Mexican army, pointing out the
trouble that might result if the
American people should become
suspicious of foreign army on
their soil. They might rise up and
demand war to drive the invader
out. Carranza again refused to
listen to reason, and his last re-
fusal was more insolent than ever.
President Wilson and all our
people began to see that there had
been no sincerity in Carranza s
statement Of his purposes all
along. He had merely used the
Colorado strike and the other
labor disturbances as a pretext
for getting his army into our
country, with the evident purpose
OF waging a war Of conquest
against us and annexing this coun-
try to Mexico.
Naturally that didn't set we'll
on our stomaches, and we began
to get things in readiness to pro-
tect ourselves the best we could
against the Mexican army of in
vasion, Intervention and conquest.
Then Carranza called out every
thing that could tote a gun and
started then toward our border.
We were getting in a pretty ugly
humor by this time and demanded
that they stay on their own side
Of the line, or there would be
trouble.
They came on.
There was trouble.
There is going to be more.
Well I'll be ding-busted! If I

Wish I had a poem
Or a little fool song
That I could stretch out
About three inches long.

Looks odd and undone
Without a few verses
All gracefully spun.

According to reliable reports from
Hawaii, an apparently successful ma

with u sliding seat on which he can
move from one end to the otherf when

used rs cases for the type, and when
the latter are released, by pressure
upon the keys, they are caught by u
belt carrier and conveyed To one end
where they are deposited In II holder
The 5000 or more characters used by
oriental printers have been classified
into approximately 100 units. These

NIGHTINGALES ON FIRING LINE

We were quartered on an artillery
officer, on the Isonzo front. Outside, II
was n spring night of the poets. The
moon had come up like great drop of
honey. No gun was firing, for once.

We were silent for while after

SO lusty, so wonderfully sweet that |

Nightingale" said our lieutenant.
Much as l had read concerning the
singer of the dewy meads, had never
heard him before-he, the bird of
poets and lovers. He sang like our
own meadow lurks of California, but
higher sweeter and infinitely stronger.
We had walked on and on, hundreds of
yards, before stopped again. / could

West is especially fitted for this posi-.
ton because of his exhaustive knowl.
edge of the engineering problems pc
culiar to the rural community. These
are very different from the problems
OF the civil engineer aud require men
of special training in their solution
In defining the field the School OF
Agricultural Engineering covers, Pro
fcssor West said:
Agricultural Engineering is largely
the adaptation Of civil mechanical and
architectural engineering to the prob.
lens OF agriculture II is true, how.
ever, that new branches Of agricultur.
al engineering are being developed and
extended, As now generally recog.
nized agricultural engineering con.
sists OF the following seven branches:
Irrigation and Drainage, Farm MaChin.
cry, Rural Architecture. Rural Roads,
Rural Sanitation, Farm Surveying,
Manufacture of Agricultural Prod,
uCts."
Not only will men be trained to
work out the engineering problems
OF agriculture, but the average farm
er will find many courses designed TO
give him just the technical knowledge
necessary in his general farming &c
tiyities.
1t is interesting to note the work
the government is doing to encourage
his work in Agricultural Engineering

SHREWD DEAL IN FINANCE

beyond human comprehension. bul Eng
lands method of selling her own loans
is not only comprehended but must bp
greatly admired. The United States
will not buy enough French and Eng.
fish bonds to pay for the supplies
which those countries purchased here.
The United States will, however buy
an unlimited amount of the stocks and
bonds of its own corporations which
are owned in Europe. British brains
evolved way TO buy these American
supplies and to pay for them with
American dollars.
Parliament has compelled British in.
vcstOrs to turn over their American
securities, taking new British loans in
payment. These American securities
are being sold us rapidly as possible
In the United States, and the proceeds
in dollars are used to pay for war sup
plies. Never before did any nation
mobilize in this fashion the individual.

pie and compel them to exchange them
