COMPANY IS FORMED
To Manufacture Purple Martin
Cleansing Compound

At a meeting held by parties
most interested, April Is 1916,
the preliminary steps were taken
to form a Corporation to be
known as the Purple Martin Man.
ufacturing Company, for the pri-
mary purpose of manufacturing
and putting on the market, the
Purple Martin Cleansing Com
pound. The COMPANY will be
Incorporated for approximate,
$40,000.00. Over half of the
stock is already taken. A small
amount may be placed on the
market in order that persons who
are familiar with the merits Of
the product may have interest in
the Corporation particularly per-
sons in and around Ekalaka. 1t
is the intention to hold the larger
part of the investment in our
own town, and only few men
of capital outside of the town
have been permitted to buy
stock. 1t is the intention Of the
stock holders and directors to
hold the controlling interest in
Ekalaka..
Arrangements will be made as
rapidly as possible to complete
the work of Incorporating, after
which such steps will be taken
as may be necessary to manu-
facture the Cleansing Compound
to meet the demands of the trade.
Heretofore the Compound has
been marketed merely as an
article for cleaning clothing, but
it possesses fully as much, if not
greater merit as a semi-liquid
soap. and the directors are conf
dent that it is far superior to
any article on the market for use
in garages, and machine shops
of all kinds. The directors have
been investigating this field OF
demand for some time, and the
information gained, convinces
them that the demand will amply
Justify the move they have taken.

LITTLE LIKELIHOOD OF DEVELOPMENT BEFORE WEDNESDAY Impatience Is Growing Over Delay of Carranza in
 Answering Note
PRIVATE DISPATCHES
 STILL PESSIMISTIC
Congress and War Department Grind Steadily on Measure for Any Even- tuality-Rumors Report Massing
 of Mexicans Around Pershing

Washington, July With the adjourn Fourth of July, 1t became highly fm- probable that the crisis between the Unit
 ed States and the de facto government of Mexico would come to a final issue before Wednesday at the earliest.
 Despite growing impatience over Gen. eral Carranzas delay in complying with demands that he state his intentions to-
 ward American troops in Mexico, Presi- dent Wilson made no move today toward laying the situation before Congress Off, fcials believe he will wait some days at least for a reply to the note sent a week ago tomorrow, provided there are no fur ther attacks upon General Pershing's men.
 Before the de facto government had
 compiled with the first demand made in i4that note by releasing the prisoners taken at Carrizal, it was expected the Presi- dent would act within a time limit fixed in his own mind, if there was no reply or an unfavorable one. The effect of the release order apparently has been to Iengthen this limit, though how much only the President himself knows.
 There were no official dispatches to- day dealing with the probable tenor of the note the de facto government off, cials are framing. Private messages had nothing to add to the gloomy outlook they reflected yesterday. In fact, there
 were no developments of any sort dur [ ing the day in the diplomatic situation. although the war department and Con- gress still ground away on measures of l preparation against whatever the future may hold
 NO INFORMATION GIVEN | Under the war department censorship l nc information General Funston or the general staff may have as to movements | of Mexican troops beyond the border was available Rumors said Mexican forces 1 were massing around the strip of terri- l tory occupied by General Pershings men. 1 leaving open only the well guarded road l back to the border. War department of-
 fcals refused to discuss these reports
 It is known. however. that they are fully
 confident of General Pershng's ability i to protect itself under any circumstances. l The rumored movement of Mexican troops. however, appears to be in line with the decision General Carranza is ! said by private advices to have adopted. | It is predicted that he would reaffirm
 his intention to allow operations of
 the American forces on Mexican soil ex- cept toward the border
 | It was the order to this effect to Gen l eral Trevino, commanding in Chihua-
 hua state, which gave the present crisis Tits most ominous aspect Secretary Lansing has defined the order as hos | tile act and tersely asked the de facto government if it desired that it should be so construed. On the answer to that
 inquiry hangs whatever action Presi-
 dent Wilson has planned.
 | A few bulletins, written in abrupt
 military style, were given out during
 the day by Secretary Bakers new mtli- (COntinued on Page TwoD
