TITLE IN DOUBLES
STAYS IN BOISE
Eaton and Wyman Win
From Twin Falls Team
in Finals.

Boise and Twin Falls divided honors
in the open state tennis tournament
which closed here for the mems events
yesterday afternoon and while, prob |
ably. Twin Falls carried away the most
coveted title in the mems singles, Allen
B. Eaton and Frank Wyman were able
to win from the crack Twin Falls team
the finals in doubles and hold that
title and trophy in Boise.
Each player was at his best and
fighting for every point. Much credit
is due Frank Wyman for the victory in
doubles. He was accurate with his
high lob and was smashing everything
at the net. While not so spectacular
Eaton played consistent tennis Graves
of Twin Falls played a smashing game
at the net and had a fast cut ball ser
vice which was difficult to return in
an advantageous position. Graves, no
doubt, was the star player of the four.
Robinson was not so accurate in his
placement drive as when he played
Eaton in the forenoon, but was play
ing for every point in the game. The
match was really a test of endurance.
1t went full five sets, two Of which
were deuce the second test going to
1911, Eaton and Wyman finally win
ming. 1t looked as though Eaton and
Wyman were going to take the match
after taking the first two sets, but
Robinson and Graves came back strong
taking the third set 60 and the fourth
set 7-5, losing the fifth or last set by
a score of 6-4.
! FASTEST OF DOUBLE MATCHES.
The match was started promptly at
$3.50 o'clock and play lasted shortly
after T. requiring three and one-half
hours in which to play the match.
From a spectators viewpoint, and from
the viewpoint of fast tennis. this match
was the fastest played or the local
courts. Three hundred fans were in
terested remaining until the last stroke
was made and the match won.

The Agreement With Mexico

Our relations with Mexico, like
those with Germany and the En-
tente powers, are taxing to the
utmost the skill, patience and re
Isourcefulness of the administra
tiOn, says the Youths Companion.
President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing have successfully extri-
Gated us from a score of difficult
situations, although each pitfall
escaped is succeeded by another
no less alarming.
The conference of generals at
Juarez that we hoped would set
tie the vexatious questions that
grew out OF Villas wicked raid on
Columbus and the sending of an
American punitive expedition in.
to Mexico dissolved without put
ting any agreement on paper,
although, as we write, there is
reason to think that General Scott,
General Funston and General
Obregon did reach some private
and personal understanding that
will make matters easier at least
for the present.
We are all determined that
Villa shall be caught and that the
raiding of American towns by
frontier bandits shall stop; but
We can see, too, that the Meyicans
do not like to have a large part of
their territory oyerrun for an in
definite period by alien soldiers
however praiseworthy is their
errand. 1t will be good policy,
therefore, to make some conces
siOns to the Mexicans' sense Of|
dignity and permit their own
army to take over the chase ofI
Villa south of a certain line; but
it is probably wise to insist on
keeping our own troops across
the border until the Carranza
forces show themselves capable |
of dealing with the bandits.
There are still limitless oppor-
for trouble with our
southern neighbor. Nearly the
entire country is disordered, and |
the Carranza administration has
not yet given us the impression Of
much frmness or political capaci- |
ty. But such as it is, it has won
to the top in the struggle Of the |
last three years, and most Ameri- !
cans hope that it win show itself |
able to maintain itself and to re |
store peace and order to a |
troubled and wasted land. AS
long as it is decently regardful off
the national rights Of the United |
States and the personal rights off
American citizens, it can count on |
the friendly support of our own
government.

A Future Supply Of Gasoline

When the quantity Of petroleum
that can be obtained from the oil
wells of the country begins to
show signs of diminution, there
viii still be a virtually inexhaust-
Iible source of supply. 1t is the
shale beds of Colorado, Utah and
Wyoming. The United States
Geological Survey estimates that
in Colorado alone there is sufi-
cient shale, in beds three or more
feet thick, to yield twenty billion
barrels Of crude oil, from which
at least two billion barrels Of gaso-
line can be extracted. Bitumin,
GUS shale is cIayey, aaky rock
that contains hydro carb0ns OF

and ammonia. The refined oil
yields about ten per cent of gasO-
line, thirtyfve per cent Of kero.
sene, and q considerable quantity
of parafin. In Scotland they
have extracted oil from shale for
more than fifty years, but the
average quantity Of oil recovered
from a ton of shaIe is much less
than the amount our own shales
would yield. The retail price Of
gasoline is now higher than it has
ever been before. According to
government figures, the total
yearly output is about siXty-three
million barrels, and as it is esti-
mated that only about nine hun
dred and thirty-four million bar.
rels can be produced from the
preseut sources, there is little
prospect that the price will come
down.

In Case of Victory
L The Future Of Germany

N'AN 49, NAAt'N " NA NtA' NJ
clared the government and the
people of Germany felt sure OF
victory. At first they hoped for
a quick triumph by reason OF
their complete preparedness;
when their enemies withstood
them with unlocked for stubborn
ness, they still expected to win by
reason of their unequaled organi-
zation and their national unani-
nifty. The unofficial terms OF
peace that emanate from them
now seem to show that that hope
is dimmed; but if by any turn of
fortune their prospects for COM
plete victory should improve,
they would undoubtedly return
to their original plans.
Those plans have been made
known to us by German states
men, German military men, and
German writers who are neither
soldiers nor statesmen. They
have put forth grand schemes Of
imperial expansion and power. 1t
is not a dream, but a half.accom.
plished fact, that in the event of
German victory Belgium will
disappear from the map Of Europe
as an independent nation. 1t
may not be incorporated into the
German Empire, but Germany
will control both its domestic and
its foreign policy, much as this
country controls, or in case of
necessity would control, the for
eign policy of Cuba. Poland, ex
cept German and Austrian Poland,
will become a kingdom under a
German prince, and be virtually
subject to Germany.
The Russian influence over the
policy of the Balkan countries
will be absolutely destroyed. Ter
ritorial lines will be rearranged
70 favor those countries that have
been friendly to the Central
Powers and to construct the
others. Serbia and Montenegro
will disappear, Turkey will gain
no territory in Europe, for the
Balkan countries would object to
that, bnt Constantinople will be
free from the Russian menace.
Austria Hungary will continue to
be nominally on ally, but in reali-
ty will be even more than now
subordinate to the Berlin govern.
ment. Finally, by its control
over Austria, the Balkans and |
Turkey, Germany will be predom-
inant from the North Sea to the
Persian Gulf.
The aspirations and half formed |
plans of the German leaders go
out in other directions. To the
event of complete victory the
Kaiser will demand not only the |
restoration of the colonies thus far
lost in the war but the cession |
of fresh overseas possessions that |
may be deemed useful for Ger
man expansion. The expenses
of the war will be saddled upon
the conquered nations in the form
of indemnity, and from those
nations also will be wrung trade |
agreements of advantage to Ger.
many. Whether the hoped for
victory over Great Britain will be
followed by imposing such condi.
tions that Germany will replace
Great Britain in the command of
the seas is a matter yet to be con
sidered.
OF course, manyof the best-in-
formed Germans must have begun
TO doubt that German arms can
ever force that great change on
Europe, but probably the nation
at large still thinks a decisive
victory possible and expects the
plans here described to be carried

Merchant and Farmers Bank
Meeting

The stockholders of the Mer-
chants and Farmers Bank held
their annual meeting Thursday
morning. Among other business
transacted was the election of
two new directors, Mr.. julius L..
Klaus of Macon and MIR. R. L.
Anderson of Shuqualak. Mr..
Klaus succeeds on the directorate
his father, the late A. Klaus.
who was a director of the bank
from its early days until his
death last year and always a
wise and conscientious official
and counsellor. Mr.. Anderson
will add much strength to the
bank, He represents very large
financial and farming interests
in the southern half Of the coun-
ty and is himself a man of great
ability and experience with
wide knowledge of county condi-
tiOns and of fine business acumen.
The election Of these two new
members keep the directorate up
to its oISsstandard,
The meeting was held on the
twenty-eighth anniversary of the
founding Of the bank, and the
twentieth yearunder the present
management. From the day it
opened its doors for business it
has been the most important
single factor in the financial life
Of NoXubee county, and although
it is now an old institution it has
all the life, all the progressive
ness and the aggressiveness Of
youth, coupled, however, with
the conservatism Of age. 1t has
always been an eXemplar of ad-
conservatism.
It has paid a fair dividend
every year of its existence but
one-1892, when conditions all
over the country were at low
ebb. 1t has always been a !
rather than a Macon in
loaning largely to farm
ars and has never lost a dollar
on it's loans to farmers. Though |
doing the great bulk of its busi-
ness in this county, it has always
kept itself sufficiently independ-
ent Of local conditions to be able
to take care of local depressions
when they occur. This speaks
volumes for the bank.
With the exception, and a very
wise exception for a Noxubee I
bank, of making loans on real
estate, the Merchants and Farm
ers has observed strictly all the
regulations imposed by law on
national banks, and the state
-anking law made no new re-
5trictions on its business
methods.
The present capital of the bank
is SIS, 600 with surplus and un-
divided profits of over 800, 900.
This includes the Shuqualak
branch, which, under the man
of Patty Kellis is fully
maintaining the prestige of the
main institution. The Mer-
chants ana Farmers is, with one
exception, the largest state bank
IN east Mississippi, and second to
none in the state in successful
banking.
The annual statement appears
ia another column. 1t shows
hat a cardinal principle of the
oank is still observed in that its
,ash and Immediately converti-
ole assets are equal to its de
nand deposits, which amount to
he goodly sum of 1912, ,802.19.
It's total deposits are 2445,-

AS Mr.. Markham well says, it
is poor policy indeed to attempt
to economic on labor when the
crops threaten to get in the grass
through lack of work. Any crop
left in the grass two or three
weeks may have the yield cut
one third or even one half, while
the cost of the labor for cleaning
it out may amount to only a
small fraction of this loss in yield.
I'VE believe ID economy, but it is
alse economy to be unwilling to
,ay for a little needed extra labor.
