Mexican Embassy Says Cabrera
Statement Was False.
MAGAZINE STORY ALSO DENIED
New Crisis Fades When Carranza OF.
fIeIals Put Blame on Empioye
Of Their Press Bureau.

Washington, Oct. 30-What prom
ised to be a new source Of serious
friction between the United States
and the defacto government Of Mexico
apparently was cleared away through
formal reputation by Eliseo Are
dondo. Mexican ambassador designate.
of q statement issued here under the
name of Luis Cabrera assailing the
American government for permitting
aid to reach Villa and other bandits
from this side of the border.
Mr.. Arredondo will 60 to the state
department with the explanation that
the statement was put out by an en-
ploye Of the Mexican news bureau, the
de facto governments semi.ofilcial pub
licity agency, without the knowledge
or consent either of the embassy or
Mr.. Cabrera
Department officials said this would
be. accepted and would be regarded as
closing the incident.
While at the department, Mr.. Are
dondo saia on special instructions from
his government he will deny also the
authenticity of what It is understood
will purport to be quotations from
General Carranza, General Obreson.
the Mexican war minister. and Gener-
al Pablo Gonzales, commander Of the
forces in Mexico City, rejecting
strong anti-American sentiments which
are expected to appear In an American
weekly magazine.
Information reaching the embassy
recently concerning the magazine ar
ticle caused an exchange Of messages
with Mexico City and brought the am
bassador authority to repudiate them
in advance.
Serious Situation Relieved.
Until word of Mr.. Arredondo's &C
ton and of Mr.. Cabrera's reputation
at New York came to them, the heads
of the state department had taken a
most serious view Of the statement at
tributed to Cabrera. who, besides be-
ing Carranza's minister of finance, is
chairman of the Mexican group of
Joint commits sioners now sitting at At
lantic City.
How the statement originated has
been the subject Of much speculation.
and apparently has narrowed down to
question of veracity between Mr..
Cabrera and the member Of the news
bureau staff who gave 1t to the press.
The employe who issued the state
ment was George F. Edmunds, pub
licity representative Of the embassy
until the bureau was organized. Ed
munds asserts that the statement was
dictated to him at Atlantic City by
Cabrera, who authorized him to make
1t public.
The appearance Of the statement
created CONSERVATION with the en-
bassy. Mr.. Arredondo promptly had
conference with Mr.. Cabrera over the
long distance telephone
Later he explained that the bureau
had prepared and issued without au-
thority the statement, as result OF
made by Cabrera Friday to
q representative of the bureau. He
said Cabrera made no unpleasant ref
erences to the American government,
and, moreover, was not expecting his
to be quoted.

HOW ONE BEE MAN ADVERTISERS
Eat Honey" Road Sign Used by Del
mar Farmer to Create Home De-
mand for Sweet Stuff.

Eat Honey" are the appetite
teasing words, painted in big, red
letters on a sign hung high across
the road in front of the farm house
of Archie Banks, Delmar. Buy a
pound or carload here ends the
legend which compelled hundreds of
tourists last year to apply the
brakes to their Fords and stop to
tract of bee" And Banks, who keeps
100 or so hives of bees, was able,
through his simple advertising
scheme, to sell hundreds of pounds
of his honey harvest to auto tour
lists at a retail price almost double
the wholesale.
To allure farmers of that section
to purchase, Banks, who maintains
one of the best equipped wireless
stations in the state, has a more sub
tie scheme. He has placed a wealth
er bulletin board in front of his
home on which he posts the daily
weather bulletins sent out from
Iowa State college. Farmers come
to read and stay to buy.
There are two of many plans that
a farmer may Use to create a home
demand for his honey, adds the bee
man at Iowa State college. And this
system not only allows him to sell at
high retail price, but eliminates ship
ping cost Of the honey if sold at
Wholesale
An ad or two in the weekly news
paper never fails to bring many Gus
toners. Public sales provide an ex-
cellent place for the bee man to sell
his product also. If he will set up q
well decorated stand at such a sale
and distribute samples of his honey,
he will have no trouble in selling
hundreds of pounds, for samples al
ways taste like more"
H. p. Morrison, Fayette, disposes
of his whole harvest from 100 hives
through his home market. He per-
sonally distributes orders in spe-
cial delivery auto he has bought
That it pays to advertise is Illus
trated by the fact that more than
500 pounds of honey were sold from
Iowa State college this year by mere
ly letting folks know through wold
of mouth that the product could re
bought there.

What Wise Men Have Said.

The man who procrastinates,
struggles with ruin.
Whoever is right, the prosecutor
must be wrong.
If principal is good for anything,
it is worth living up to.
We do not correct the man we
hang; We correct others by him.
Women always find their bitterest
foes among their own sex.
Women have fewer vices than
men, but they have stronger preju-
dices.
Be just, and fear not; let all the
end thou aims't at be thy country's,
thy Gods, and truth.
We seldom find persons whom we
acknowledge to De possessed of good
sense except those who agree with
us in opinion.
Pride seems to be equally distri-
buted; the man who owns the car
riage and the man who drives it
seem to have it just alike.
1t is in length of patience, en-
durance and forbearance that so
much of what is good in mankind
and Womankind is shown.
If l can put one touch of a ROSY
sunset into the life of any man or
woman / shall feel that have
worked with God.
Who feels no ills should therefore
fear them, and when fortune smiles
be doubly cautious, lest destruction
come remorseless On him and he fall
Cnpitied.
While tenderness of feeling and
susceptibility to generous emotions
are accidents of temperament, good
ness is an achievement of the will
and quality of the life.

Her Joy Was Brief.

she was fair, yet were there ira
ces OF tears on her cheekc as she re-
clined against the velvet cushions,
And small wonder! For had she not
only yesterday quarreled with the
beloved Lertie?
Yes indeed. And now, would he
ever return? Would he take in ear
nest those hot words in which she
mad told him never to see her again Z?
Listen! A step on the gravel out
side. A ring at the bell. A voice.
Darling I'm so glad you've
