Mexican civilians as they were being

The Mexican commander said that
II seemed probable inasmuch as Gen

fate Of the Boyd column, that outside
of five additional prisoners now being
brought here the Americans were an

more had escaped.
General Fershing has wired here
for names of dead and prisoners.

none of the prisoners brought here
will be hanged. that mot being the

Break With Mexico
Looked For.
AWAITS FINAL REPORT
President to Act When PGrShing
Sends Official Story.

Washington, June 26-With reports
at hand that nearly the entire Ameri-
can cavalry command of 100 soldiers
may have been annihilated in the
fight at Carrizal grave fears are ex-
pressed in official circles that not
even diplomatic representations from
Mexico City can prevent open hostili-
ties between the United States and
Mexico
President Wilson still awaits final
report from General Pershing on the
Carrizal clash and army officers say
it may be another day or two before
this arrives.
General Pershing's official report
probably will be based on the accounts
either of officers Of the troops which
encountered the Mexicans or of the
cavalry squadrons which have been
sent out in search of the combatants.
Admiral Winslow, commander of the
Pacific fleet, also has been ordered to
make a full report soon on the Mazat-
Ian incident
Evidence now available from Amer.
lean sources seems to show that in
both the Mazatlan and Carrizal clash.-
CarranZa authorities preciptated the
fighting
The Carrizal reports make it appear
the attack was treacherous and with
out warning.
When final reports arrive the Wash
ineton government is expected to use
them for a basis of a direct refutation
of claims of the Mexican government
that the Americans were the aggres-
sors
Demand probably will be made that
the acts be disavowed and the respon-
sible Mexicans punished.
Officials doubt whether the Carranza
government will consent to complete
disayowal.

The Michigan Tradesman-for many

The Michigan Tradesman-for many
years the active and consistent OPP
ponent of all trading stamp schemes
says that the recent decisions OF the
U. S. supreme court upon the stamp
cases appealed from Washington and
Florida could not be better, and that
a careful perusal of the same leads
"to the belief that the decisions are
much more far reaching than was at
first thought possible. The fact that
the highest tribunal in the land has
declared that the states have the
power to practically tax out of exist
ence coupon and trading stamp con-
Germs is the vital issue that has now
been definitely and conclusively de-
cided. - The decision opens the
way for every state to enact drastic
laws either regulating, licensing or
prohibiting the use of trading stamps
within their borders. :" A measure to
"levy tax upon the issuance of cou-
pom, prize tickets and other devices,
and ON the redemption or exchange of
such tokens" and providing a practi-
cally prohibitive tax on all premium

Death Of Albert E. Palmer.

Albert e. Palmer, one of the best
known and most highly respected citi-
zens of Owosso, died at his home on
West Main street Sunday evening.
Mr.. Palmer has been in i'll health
for about two years. Last summer,
however, he was we'll enough to go
to one of the northern summer re-
sorts, but was taken i'll while there
and had to be brought home under
the care of a physician. While he
had been able to go out riding oc-
casionally, he had not been we'll since
and a large part of the time was
under the care of trained nurse. OF
late, however, he had been feeling
better and his physician and family
believed that with the coming Of
warm weather, he would regain his
health.
Sunday Mr.. Palmer appeared to be
feeling as well as usual although he
was nervous, and expressed per-
monition of impending death, declar-
ing to his children that he could not
stand up under the strain of his ill
ness much longer. He had suffered
frequent attacks of heart trouble,
and it was this ailment that caused
his death. He was able Sunday to
eat dinner at the table with his fam
lily and almost up to the time he was
the end that was to come so sudden
ly. He had retired only a short time
before breathing his last.
Mr.. Palmer was born in Wood
stock, Jackson county, on December
25, 1851. He spent his boyhood in
Jackson county, and at the age of
nineteen he came to Owosso. For
several years he worked as a carpen-
ter and builder and later was en-
ployed in Woodlands planning mill,
which was destroyed by fire in 1898.
He worked there many years and
later became foreman of the wood
working department of the casket
factory. In all he was in the en-
ploye of l.. E. Woodland for thirty
years, and his services were consider
ed by Mr.. Woodland as invaluable.
In 1894 Mr.. Palmer entered the |
jewelry business in West Owosso,
the business until 1900. |
In that year he returned to Jackson
to care for his aged father, |
but six years later he returned to
Owosso and devoted his attention to
the manufacture of the Palmer glue
and clamping machine, which was
invented in 1898. The machine had |
been manufactured since it's inven-
ton by Palmer and Thomas, the lat
ter being A. T. Thomas, who died a

and invented numerous appliances.

Birds the Farmers Friends.

AS the birds gather with the ap-
proach of spring, does the average farm
or recognize them as the friends that
they really are? No doubt he is we'll
aware of the services that some of them
perform, but it would perhaps require
considerable argument TO convince him
that even the depredations of the crow
and hawk are more than offset by their
good work in the destruction of harm.
full insects. =; That, this, however sur.
prising, is true, is shown by a bulletin
on the common birds of the farm and
orchard issued by the agricultural de.
partment at Washington.
The entomologists, 1t appears, have
estimated that insects yearly cause the
loss of not less than 500, 600, 900 to the
agricultural interests of the United
States and that this loss would be i'm
possible without the aid of the birds.
The crow pulls up corn and is other
wise mischievous in the spring, it Is
true, but scientific observers regard
him as more helpful than harmful be-
cause he eats many insects, white
grubs, cut worms and mice. Even owls
and hawks destroy vast quantities of
insects and harmful rodents.
Birds do not live long, but they live
intensely; they breathe rapidly and
have high temperature and rapid
circulation. In consequence a large
quantity of food is necessary. This ex.
plains why they devote most of their
waking hours to feeding, although they
can move quickly from place to place
where food Is found and feed rapidly.
Thus they destroy incredible numbers
of insects In the stomach Of single
hawk, for example, have been found a
hundred grasshoppers which represent
ed only one meal. In the retreat of one
pair of barn owls have been found three
thousand skulls, 81 per cent of which
were mammals the bulk of these being
field mice, house mice and common rats
A tree swallows stomach was found to |
contain forty entire chinch bugs and |
fragments of many others, besides ten |
o;her species of insects
In Texas single bank swallow was
found to have devoured sixty eight cot.
ton boil weevils, one of the most harm.
fal insect pests known; aud thirty. five
cliff swallows we're found to have take
an average of eighteen boil weevils
each. Two stomachs of pine siskins in
California contained 1900 black olive
scales and 300 plant lice. A killdeers
stomach taken in Texas contained more
than 300 mosquito larvae. A wood.
pecker's stomach held 20 white grubs.
The stomach of Kentucky nighthawk
tbull bait contained "a May beetles, the
adult form of the white grub. A New
York nighthawk was found to have
eaten "a clover.leaf weevils and 375
ants. Another nighthawk had eaten
$40 grssshoppers, SO bugs, 8cbeetIes. e
wasps and spider. A boat. tailed Texas
grackle was found to have eaten at one
meal about 100 cotton boil worms and
q few other insects And so on.
