LY," SAYS CARRANZA.

MEXICO CITY. - Claiming that
the words and protests of the United
States have been entirely in contra
diction of their acts, and that in spite
of protests not to intervene in the
affairs of Mexico, soldiers of the
United States are in Mexico without
the consent of the Mexican govern
ment and in violation of Mexico's
sovereignty, the Mexican government
now asks for the immediate with
drawal of those troops. The request
is made in 12,00O-word note made
public at the foreign office today
about noon.
The note recites that the American
troops crossed the border after the
Columbus incident without the per-
mission of the Mexican government.
The act was not considered one of
invasion then solely because the Unit
ed States said they had misinterpret-
ed the attitude of the Mexican gov
When the second expedition crossed
the line after the Glenn Springs in
cident, the note maintains, the plea
that this was done with the consent
of the Mexican consul at Del Rio,
Texas, is untenable and that act can
only be considered as one of inva-
sion.
"The Mexican government, there
fore, invites the United States to
to bring to an end this unsupportable
situation" the note concludes, land
to support its protestations and dec
llarations of friendship by an imme'

friendship by the United States anc
the expressed desire for noninter

PAYS BANKS TO LEND
AID TO THE FARMERS
BANKER COMES OUT STRONG
FOR GIVING REAL AID TO
PROGRESSIVE FARMERS.

eff might be allowed to write the
epitaph of my administration l would
place on the head board the single
word, Agricultural "
This sentence in the address of B.
C. Powell, retiring president of the
Arkansas Bankers Association, at the
associations convention, summed up
concisely the great change that has
been wrought in the attitude of the
Arkansas banker toward the farmer.
1t was not so long ago that the
average Arkansas banker would have
considered absurd suggestion that
he should interest himself in the
farmer and in agriculture.
But now-the situation is best
summed up in the address of Presi-
dent Powell as he continued:
Progressive Banking.
81 say this for the reason that l
have, as your president, devoted prac-
tically eight weeks of my time to
this one subject and say, with some
degree of modesty, that my time has
been we'll spent. / have talked agri-
culture with the splendid men our
government has in this state. l have
talked it before organizations of bus
mess men in several Southern cities,
also before the convention of the
Arkansas Farmers Union, and in ev-
cry instance have heard only praise
for the progressiveness of the bank
ers of Arkansas in the fine work they
are doing for safe farming. There is
not bank in Arkansas that is not
alive to the tremendous task before
us. And there is not an executive
officer in these banks who is not alive
to the situation, and ready to not
only do his part but is finding place
to work, and is working with will
ingness heretofore unheard of.
The Cold Statistics.
And, perhaps, through lingering
fear that there might still be some
skeptic remaining President Powell
fired a parting broadside in the form
of cold, hard statistics, which are sup
posed to appeal to the banker above
all things.
1.-The government forces in Arkan
sas report Arkansas farmers to bt
worth $4,000, 900 more in December
1915, than they were on the same
date in 1914, and of this amour
there was, according to the recent re
port of the state bank commissioner
S1O,0O0,0OO of this increase in actua
cash in. the banks of Arkansas.

NO INDICATION OF
AN IMMEDIATE REPLY

WASHINGTON, D. C.-There was
no indication today that the state de-
nartment was preparing to make an
early reply to the demand for with
drawal or for a definite statement of
the intentions of the United States
toward Mexico.
It is known that officials feel that
the purposes of the United States
have been stated over and over again
in language that would bear no mis-
construction. They feel also that the
good faith of those statements has
been demonstrated on so many occa--
sions that they cannot be questioned

merely ask the questions it worth
while to aid the farmer?"
Farming, Roads and Schools.
Here are some more striking ex-
cerpts from that portion of President
Powell's address which dealt with
agriculture:
"When l get on the subject of
Safe Farming l remind myself of a
book agent, in not knowing when to
stop. But the country banker of
Arkansas, being alive to the situation,
is bound to see that his future lies
along new lines, and these new lines
are safe farming, good roads and ru-
raj schools.
"You have probably already asked
yourself the question, why name
these together?' I do this because
without good roads it is impossible to
have community schools, and without
a consolidation of our cross roads
schools it will never be possible
to have public school system that we
may point to with pride. i consider
the present system of country or ru-
raj schools little short of a disgrace,
and the pay received by the splendid
girls and men who are teaching them,
under the conditions so well known to
all of us, is a disgrace to the intelli-
gent citizenship of any state.
81 suspect you are again asking
yourself, why tell a busy banker
this?' My reply is-and | hope you
will get this compliment, for they are
surely scarce for country bankers
no line of business can boast of a
broader minded and a more progress
sive citizenship than the country
bankers of Arkansas, and it is your
duty to shoulder your part of the re-
sponsibility of our states conditions.
By so doing I firmly believe there
will be marked improvement in con-
ditions, as it is my judgment that
the splendid assistance given to safe
farming has very materially aided in
bringing this subject to its present
position in the minds of the people,
and if your aid can be of ouch notice
able value in this work why not get
into line right now on the matter of
good roads and rural schools? Moth
ing can be of more benefit to any
state than these three subjects"

QUEER CUSTOMS
OF INDIA'S Castles
Higher Castles Prefer Death Rather
Than Defilement From Contact
With "Untouchables."

Four years ago, up in the north
west of India, child belonging to a
Brahmin family fell into well. All
the men of the family were away
and the women were helpless. The
servant known as the sweeper-a
very low caste man-offered to climb
down the we'll and rescue the child.
His suggestion was regarded by the
women as scandalous, for his touch
would have defiled the drinking wa
ter of the household and also the
drowning boy. Hence the little fell
low was left in the well to be fished
out dead some time later by the clean
hands of Brahmin. Rather death
than defilement from the touch of an
"untouchable."
At present there are upward of
10000 castles and sub-castes in In
dia, most of them belonging to one
of the three great groups known as
Brahmins, Shudras and Outcastes.
Individuals belonging to the latter
groups are considered so impure
in nature that to touch them brings
deflement-hencet their common des-
ignation, "the untouchables. The
higher castles, though relatively toll
Grant of each other, must not dine
together nor intermarry on pain of a
social persecution, which for most in

WOMEN GET THE JOBS
IN SUFFRAGE KANSAS
oUsTINC MEN FROM THE SNUG
POLITICAL BERTHS. DEFEATS
IN BUT TWO INSTANCES.

A good many Kansas men who
have had their eyes on political jobs
for some years are doing a good deal
of worrying right now. Too many
women are getting into Kansas poll
tics. What is more, they are getting
the Jobs and have been holding them
so successfully that there isn't much
chance for a man to break in.
A good many Kansas men voted
for suffrage for the women with the
idea that the women would vote and
maybe stir up trouble in some city
elections. They had no idea that the
women would be seeking the jobs
which the men had held to be their
own particular prerogatives.
More women than men have asked
for seats in the republican and dem
ocratic national conventions this
year from Kansas. Gov. Arthur Cap
per. Fred Stanley, national commit
teeman, and the members of the del
egations have had more than 1000
requests from women for seats in the
convention. There isn't any chance
to give so many women seats and the
state politicians are doing a good deal
of worrying. They are afraid that
to refuse woman seat may make
an active political enemy that will
cause trouble in the primary in Au-
gust and the election in November.
There are two factions among the
women, the supporters of the Ma
tional Suffrage Association and the
Congressional Union.
There are 129 women already act
lively campaigning for county offices.
One woman already is in the race for
congress and two are campaigning
actively for state senator. 1t is prob
able that there will be dozen wo-
men candidates for the lower branch
of the legislature.
Electing women to Office has often
enabled one political party or faction
to beat some chap, and then it was
discovered that the women couldn't
be pried away from the jobs. In only
two instances have women candidates
been defeated for county offices when
they were up for second and even
third and fourth terms.
