HOLDS UP PLAN FOR SETTLE
MENT OF DIFFERENCES
Balks at Proposal to Have All Border
Guards Under United States
Officers.

Atlantic City, n. 1.-THE MeXi-
can-American border question be-
ing worked out by the joint COM
mission of the two countries here,
resolved itself into a question of rea-
son and pride-American reason and
Mexican pride. Each side is adher.
ing stubbornly to its guns, but nei-
Their feels that the situation is hope
less.
Willingness Of the United States
to withdraw it's troops as soon as
the proper safeguards for the future
safety of the border have been made
has resulted in centering the dis.
cussion for the present on the form
the border patrol shall take.
Pride Hats Plan.
An agreement has been reached III
to a certain point. Mexican members
of the commission want a mutua,
agreement, whereby the troops of the
Mexican government may pursue the
bandits back into the United States
if any cross into Mexico from this
side, just as they will agree to the
pursuit of Mexican marauders across
the line into Mexico by United States
troops.
This plan, it was learned, has beer
agreed to by the American commits
sioners, providing the patrol on bott
sides of the border is under the con
troll of an American general.
This is where Mexican pride has
entered into the controversy. Mexi
can troops, the Carranzistas report
may be commanded only by Mexican
generals.

Detail Of Dry-Mash Hopper.

properly designed device for feeding
is not employed. The following device
is an efficient and economical feeder
and may easily be constructed.
This hopper Is constructed of inch
boards IL inches wide. The top may
be hinged for convenience in filling,
or the entire top may be made remov-
able, affording in this case better pro-
lection from the weather. The "
shaped bottom of the food container
is made of one-fourth-inch square
mesh wire, such as is used in render
ing corn cribs and grain bins rat proof.
The fiat tray, above which the food
container is supported by the end
boards, should have drainage holes.
Wooden cleats should be fastened
along the point of contact Of the wire
mesh with the end boards, thus maxi
ing a closed joint and preventing
waste.
A substantial advantage in this form
of food hopper will be found In that
it gives no opportunities for the wedg4

PROTOCOL SIGNED BY COMMITS
sIoNERs CONCERNING WITH
DRAWAL OF TROOPS.
CARRANZA TO PASS ON. PLAN
Each Country to Patrol Own Side Of
Border, But United States Re
serves Right to Cross Line
When Necessary.

Atlantic City, N. IA protocol
providing for the withdrawal Of the
American troops from Mexico and for
the patrol of the border was signed
by the members of the Mexican-Amer-
lean joint commission. The commits
Eioners then took an adjournment of
two weeks.
The protocol provides for the with
drawal of American troops command
ed by Gen. Pershing within 40 days
of the date of its final approval I'M
less by that time the conditions in
Northern Mexico have become such
that the American border is endanger-
cd by the bandits.
The control of the border has been
left to the respective armies of the
two governments, each to patrol it's
own side. The question of co-opera-
ton on the border is left to the COM
handing officers of the two armies
on the border.
Although not incorporated in the
written agreement, the American
commissioners told the Mexicans
that this government would reserve
the right to pursue across the bor-
der into Mexico and bandit forces
that crossed the international line in-
to the United States.

FARM :
POULTRY
DRY-MAsH FEEDING FAVORED
Poultry on Range Should Have AceesT
to Supplemental Feed-Device'C
to Prevent Waste.

(From the United States Department OF
Agriculture)
The feeding of dry mash to farm
poultry on range is not practiced as
generally as it should be. Dry mash
be compounded Of finely ground grains,
and usually contains some animal pro-
tein in the way of beef scrap, fish
scrap, etc. This dry mash is intended
to supplement the grain ration and to
be an additional source of supply to-
the chickens on range.
Dry mash always accessible to poul-
try helps to promote a rapid and uni"
form growth and is economical. Poul-
try is not inclined to overeat of dry
mash. The usual method of feeding
wet or moist mashes, however, unless
care is taken, is wasteful and danger
Gus. Poultry will overeat of wet mash,
and this mash spoils quickly IL not
consumed, particularly in hot weather.
The feeding of dry mash, on the
other hand, also may be wasteful If q

NO RECORD ON STORED FOOD

age Warehouses.

New York, N. Y.-Weights and
Measures Commissioner Hartigan has
sent a letter to the state commission
er of agriculture, Charles s. Wilson,
calling his attention to the fact that
the cold storage warehouses in this
city are packed to capacity and ask
ing for an investigation.
The object is to ascertain If the time
limit for cold storage of perishable
food products is being exceeded. The
state department of agriculture has
full Jurisdiction to make such an in
yestigation and to prosecute. Harti-
gan's inspection of storage plants
shows that in many instances goods
do not bear the date of entry. Such
omission is violation of the law.

MEXICANS' PRIDE IN WAY U.S.. MAKES FIVE INQUIRIES
U-BoAT QUESTIONS MAY EMBAR.
RAss GERMANY.
So Far Kaiser Is Silent in Six Cases
Out of Ten, Including Marina
and Arabia.

Berlin, Germany-A period of COM
plications may again be impending
in the German-American relations.
Germany's conduct of submarine war
fare has brought forth American in
quiries, of which Joseph c. Grew, the
American charge, has recently filed
no less than 10-five of them in one
day.
Six remain to be answered, includ.
ing the cases of the Marina, on which
a number of Americans appear to
have been killed, and the liner Ara
bia, the sinking of which the Ameri-
can government declares appears to
be inconsistent with the promises of
the German government regarding
the treatment of the passenger lin.
ers.
The United States bases it's atti.
tude in the case of the Arabia on the
assumption that it was unarmed and
torpedoed without warning and is I'M
able to see that there was adequate
justification for forcing the passen,
gers into the lifeboats. Washington
believes the submarine commander
on ascertaining that there were wo
men and children on the decks
should have refrained from making an
attack.
Germany, in the four cases in re
gard to which replies already have
been made, was found to have fairly
! convincing answers, which, it is be
lieved, may put a quite different as
pect on affairs.

PICK HIGH-PR0DUCING FOWLS
PaIeness of Shank Is Very Reliable
Indleatlon-Also Birds With
Pllable Combs.

1t is not only possible but desirable
to pick out the high-producing hens in
the flock by means of external char
acteristics.
Hens that mott late are high pro.
ducers, because they have a longer
period In which to lay. Late melting
is the accompaniment of late laying,
but the mere fact of late melting does
not make high producers. The hens
that mott late begin laying as early
as the early mOlters, because they
mott much more rapidly and lose less
time.
In the yellow-skinned breeds the
paleness Of shank is very reliable in.
dication In the fall at the end of ne
first year. The high producers t6y the
color out Of their shanks, and so any
bird that still has yellow shanks after
a year of laying likely has been poor
producer for that year.
Those birds with soft and pliabl'
combs about october 1 are in general
better producers than those with hard
and dried-up combs. AS a bird molts
the comb tends to shrink and become
hard, but birds in good condition and
laying have pliable combs.

Not Quitter

A rumor was started in the val
ley a week ago to the effect tn at
Jas. HI. de Veuve, who owns a
good sized irrigated tract with a
Hanford water right, between
White Bluffs and Hanford, had sold
his water right back to the Power
company.
Mr.. de Veuve is one of the COM
mittee of five selected by the nom
resident land owners to represent
them in any litigation that might
be started by the power company
jeopardizing the rights Of the land
owners in the valley, and to pros

water. He is . man Of consider
able means, and has the reputa-

says among other things:

Ready for the
Hanford Case

The preliminary hearing in the
Hanford case will be had before
the Public Service commission next
Monday in the Commercial Club
room in Kennewick.
The only question before the
commission is the service and
price to be paid for the irrigation
water. The Power company claims
that 80 inches is sufficient, and
that 81 per. acre per season lis
fair and reasonable. There is a
difference of opinion among the
ranchers as to the necessary
amount Of water but practically
all are agreed that it is in, excess
of 80 inches. The ranchers are
contending that 81 per acre lis
prohibitive and are asking the
commission to flX a rate more IN
keeping with what the land can
afford to pay.
Officials of the Milwaukee have
extended their kind offices in the
hope of making a peaceful settle
ment and at their suggestion the
joint committee representing the
land owners notified them that
they would be agreeable to CON
tinuance Of the Public Service
hearing until next June if the
company would agree to furnish
48 inches cf water for $4 in the
hope that in the. meantime a
peaceful settlement could be had.
The proposal was forwarded to H.

it down. saying that he could see
no advantage to his company in
