GLAD DIR. AKED QUIT.
Ford Pleased ''CranIxs And Nuts Are
 Dropping Out

Detroit, July 27.-Commenting on Dr. Charles F. Akeds resignation from the Ford peace conference n Stockholm after he told newspaper men the conference is composed of "cranks and nuts,' Henry Ford said:
 "I am surprised to hear that the conference has been made up of cranks and dreamers. But it is en- couraging to find this condition is rapidly being improved by the process of resignation. If the conference members are nuts and fools, as they say it is hard to figure out what the rest of Europe, the fighting part is made up of.
 "The conference will continue It's work until Europe Is brought back to the much milder form of insanity that is now at work in Stockholm An American probably will be chosen as a member in short time. :.

Chicago, July 27.-A period of in tense heat in the western plains states. unequalled in continuity and high temperature since 1911, the year of the hot winds in Kansas, according to the government weather bureau here probably will continue through the remaining days of July.

EXPECT EARLY AGREEMENT
Prospects for Settlement of Mexican Problem Brighter-Polk Has An-

Washington, July 27.-Prospects for an early agreement between the American and Mexican government to submit the border disagreements to a brighter today after Acting Secretary Polk again conferred with Eliseo Ar redOndO, General Carranza's ambas-' sador The conferees found them selves closer to agreement on the sev- eral points which have delayed formal announcement that General Carranza's suggestion for a commis- sion would be accepted.
 The Washington government wants to widen the scope of the commis- s1on's investigation beyond General Carranza's suggestion that it discuss withdrawal of American troops, meas ures to protect American border in- terests from bandits and the origin of raids.
 It was assumed that Mr. Arredondo was able to assure MT. Polk today that his government was willing the commissioners should also invest1- gate economic and financial relations between the two countries with the hope of finding means to aid Mexico in the restoration of peace and order. Whether a compromise plan was pro- posed which proved acceptable was not made known. There is every reason to believe, however, that as q result of today's conference both con- ferees felt that a definite announce ment will soon be possible.

TO EDIT PAPER ON FARM
Midland, lowa's Literary Magazine, to
Remove Headquarters to Corning
and Editors Reside on Adjacent

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, June 20.-The Midland, q
literary magazine devoted to the mid
die west and heretofore published at
Iowa City. has announced the removal
Of it's editorial and publication head
quarters to Corning, Iowa, where John
T. Frederick will be editor-tn- cher
and Roger L. Sergel associate editor.
Both men are writer's and graduates OF
the university of Iowa, and live ON an
improved farm in the Nodaway valley
near Corning. Thus, the one publica-
ton having for its field the richest
agricultural region of the world, will be
perhaps the only literary magazine IN
the country edited on a farm.
The Midland was originally projected
by Mr.. Frederick and the first NUMBER
appeared under the date Of January.
1915. Associated with him at that time
were Raymond H. Durboraw and IVai
McPeak. Since Mr.. Frederick's depart
ure from Iowa City the magazine has
been edited by wal McPeak and Roger
l.. Sergel Prof. c. F. Ansley, head OF
the department of English in the state
university, has been consulting editor
and will continue in this capacity OF
adviser. While the editorial and pub
fishing work will be handled at Corn
ing, the printing and mailing out of the
magazine will be done at Iowa City,

bert NJ. Halverson. Miss Dorothy Dom
dore, Of the Iowa City public library,

Education on the Farm.

A circular recently issued by the
Missouri agricultural experiment sta
ton records the results Of compari-
son made in 1912 between two groups
Of farmers, viz, 554 who had received
only a rural school education and 102
who received a greater amount Of edu
cation, extending on an average, thru
two years Of high school. From this
comparison it appears that the better
educated farmer is making an income
Of ia per cent greater than the
farmer with less education, and even
after the labor income of the latter is
adjusted to allow for his smaller size
Of business, the difference still
amounts to about 40 per cent.

Eodder For Gum chewer..

Six million Ave hundred thousand
pounds of chicle, the basis of chew
ing gum. was imported into the
United States in 1915, according ia
figures compiled by the bureau Of for
eign and domestic commerce at Wash
ington. This product is the dried
milky juice Of the tropical sapodNla
tree. The countries from which prac-
tically all Of it was obtained were
Mexico. Canada. British Honduras
Venezuela and the Central American
republics. Mexico and Canada between
them provided more than two thirds
of the total amount imported. The
chicle imported into this country dur
ing the last ten years has cost nearly
$35,000,0O0, which gives some idea OF
the popularity Of gum chewing among
Americans.
