MEXICANS REQUEST
TWO-WEEKS RECESS

Atlantic City, N. j., Nov. IA
recess of two weeks has been re-
quested by the Mexican members Of
the Mexican-American Joint Com
mission to give the man opportunity
to lay before Gen. Carranza the pro-
posals formulated by the Americans
for border control The indications
were tonight that the request would
be granted.
Alberto j. PAM probably will be
delegated by his colleagues to con-
fer personally with Gen. Carranza
and present to him a detailed state
ment of the developments since Sec
rotary of the Interior Lane present.
ed the American program as approx
ed by President Wilson.
The Americans have earnestly at
tempted to convince the Mexicans
that such an agreement as has been
proposed would be advisable. but
Gen. Carranza's representatives have
insisted thus far that they cannot
concur in a plan which they main
tain would involve the humiliation
of their country.
Luis Cabrera, chairman OF the
Mexican Commission and lgnacio
Bonillas probably will remain in the
United States until Mr.. PAM returns
or they are officially Informed of the
de facto Governments desires. The
Americans probably will spend the
recess at their homes.
Only a brief session was held to-
day. Some further consideration
was given suggestions for modifica-
lions made by the Mexicans, and an
adjournment was taken until to-
morrow. when it is expected that all
members will be present. DR.. ]. X.
Mott, of the American commission
is on his way from Cleveland, where
he went to speak, and Luis Cabrera
of the Mexican commission. who
went to Philadelphia tonight. said
he would be present at the confer
ence tomorrow.

DON'T LET YOUR HORSE
DRINK 1T PUBLIC TROUGHS

The public watering trough is. a
nuisance that should be abolished.
1t is easy to comprehend the neces-
sity which compels the doing away
with the public roller towel, the bar
of soap and public drinking cup, and
the same arguments for abolishing
the public watering trough are ap-
plicable, save that they apply to
horse and not man.
1t is common knowledge that some
of the worst diseases of horses, such
as FLANDERS and strangles, are trans
mitted in this way. Some of the
transportation companies place no
tices in their establishments to the
effect that teamsters are not to wa
ter OF public watering troughs, un-
der penalty of dismissal. 1t is quite
certain that this is the most COM
mon means of spreading strangles
(distemper) among horses and the
public watering trough should be
legally abolished.

THANKSGIVING ODE
BY John Greenlief whittier.

Once more the liberal year Taught
out
Ger richer stores than gems Of
gold;
Once more with harvest song and
shout
Is natures bloodless triumph told
Our common mother rests and sings
Like Ruth, among her garnered
sheaves.
Her lap is full of goodly things;
Her brow is bright with autumn
leaves.
o favors every year made new!
o gifts with rain and sunshine
sent!
The bounty overruns our due:
The fullness shames our discon-
tent.
We shut our eyes, and flowers
bloom on;
We murmur, but the corn ears
fill;
We choose the SHADOW, but the sun
That casts it shines behind us
still.
God gives US with orr rugged soil
The power to mako it Eden fair
And richer fruits to crown our toll
Than summer welded islands
bear.
Who murmurs at his lot to-day?
Who ,scorns his native fruit and
bloom
Or signs for daintios far away
Besides the borateous board of
home?
Thank heaven, instead, that free
Hor''s arm
Can change a rocky soil to gold;
That brave and. generous lives can
warm
A cline with northern ices cold.
And let these affairs. wreatlled with
flowers
And piled with fruits, awake
again
for the golden hours,
The early and the latter rain.

BLAZING GOAT
PLUNGEs THROUGH FIELDS

Bowling Green, Ky, Nov. %
Careering madly through the fields,
every hair OF his coat ablaze, a goat
last night applied the torch to fields
and buildings, leaving in his wake a
fiery trail that brought volunteer
fire fighters out in force.
Twenty-Five acres of grass, two
large stock barns and fencing were
ignited. Then the animal, wearied
by his headlong flight and suffering
from the flames that were rapidly
consuming him, keeled over in the
midst of the conflagration he had
started and died.
Fifteen acres of grass on the farm
of Miss Ethel Hunt, near Claypool,
was destroyed, as were several acres
on adjoining pieces of property. The
barns were saved by neighbors.
How the goats coat became ignit-
ed may never be known. The Sc
cret died with him.

Ready To Launch Peace Plan.

Washington, Nov. 22.-The re-
port that this Government soon will
take some step formally to urge
peace in Europe was emphasized to-
day by a long conference at the
White House between President
Wilson and DR.. Paul Ritter. Minis
ter from Switzerland.
The diplomat is understood to
have assured the Chief Executive
the Swiss Government would lend
every possible aid In an effort to end
the war. 1t is known DR.. Ritter is
eager to have the peace delegates
meet in Switzerland. and he is be-
lieyed to have extended the invita-
don to-day.
It was admitted for the first time
that President Wilson has his agents
in the field and will launch a plan
as soon as there is the slightest as
surance that it can be made effec-
tive. No details of the conference
with DR.. Ritter were made public.

PUBLIC OPINION

To the Editor of the Farmer. Sir:
 Your editorial in Saturdays Farmer criticises the Ansonia authorities for the manner in which they have han dled the strike situation in that city, and practically holds them responsible for the death of one of the strikers.
 The trouble in Ausonia, MT. Editor. can hardly be c1assed as a strike. A strike at a. plant that employs Amer ican labor could, as you have stated, be very easily handled by two or three of Supt. Redgate's tthnest.'' An angry mob" of some five hundred men, with perhaps six out of that number able to speak English, is, however, diff ferent proposition and one which cau- not be handled with gentle words and love 'tpats.''
 Very few of those who took part in the recent riot were able to under stand English, therefore, it is easily seen that the proper place for the blame is on the shoulders of the fac tory head. So long as manufacturers continue to flood their factories with unskilled help, or, what might be termed cheap labor, they should be forced to suffer the consequences.
 The writer considers that the shoot ing down of the so-called striker, in the recent riot, at Ansonia, was un- called for, but feels that neither the authorities nor the guards at the plant should be held responsible.
 Thanking you for the space in your paper. I am.
 Very respectfully yours.
 Bridgeport, Conn, May 22, 1916.
