slider, the house planned to pass it

morrow. A large number of amend.

amendment to tax cotton.

 GERMAN RADIO AT MEXICO CITY

Far reaching possibilities thus would be opened for the violation of American neutrality or even the men acing of the national safety in the critical situation existing. Sea raid CTS and submarines might be directed and full information concerning the departure of ships from American ports furnished.
 German agents in this country might keep in close touch with Der lin. and in case of war even more se- rious results might follow.
 From other semi-official sources in formation has reached Washington that secret meetings are being held by Germans in Vera Cruz and ill Mon terey to determine upon uniform act ion by Germans in Mexico in the event of an outbreak of war between the United States and Germany.

For the benefit of those who have not heard much about the ENER READY storage battery, we wish to say that this is the most wonderful battery on the market. It is abso- lutely guaranteed against troubles that destroy other batteries. such as sulphation and buckled plates. The EVERREADY battery will not be damaged by being run down often or by standing idle for months, this in other batteries will cause sulphation and buckled plates. The plates in the EVERYREADY are their own patent and are so braced that they cannot buckle and if anything happens on the inside of the EVERREADY with in the guarantee limit of a year and a half. we will fix it free of charge. This does not say that a year and a half is the life of the battery as this battery will last for several years with ordinary care. If you want to lay your car up for few months you don't have to worry about your bat tery. it will run down alright in time but the battery will not be damaged and when you want to use your car just get it charged and it will be as good as ever.
 Suppose you accidently get short circuit in your car. you can't help that. why should you pay SIS or S2O to buy plates? Buy an EVERREADH and not be sorry. we have the best equipped storage battery shop in this district and an expert from the east in charge. If you have any battery trouble, no matter what kind of bat tery you have let our expert look 1t over and save you money. We will be more than glad to talk battery with you at any time.

WASHINGTON. Mar S. Informa- tion has reached the government from a semi-official source that through perfection of a powerful wireless tel egraph plant in Mexico City direct communication between the capital and Germany has been established.
 Officials realize that to confirm this news is of great importance and an investigation has been ordered. Thru connection by Mexico City with the land telegraphs leading to the United States, Germany would be able to se- cure complete exemption from the censorship now imposed by the Amer ican government at the wireless sta tions at Sayville and Tuckerton, and by the British and French govern ments in their control of the Atlantic cables.

 There was a concurrent diminution in activity in ultra-speculative stocks probably in consequence of the fail ure to enlist public in that quarter.
 Such changes as occurred in prices of important stocks represented little more than the caprices of the trading element.
 The more substantial advances, very few of which were fully retained included The Texas Company, which rose , 34to 234, with three each for International Agricultural Chemical preferred and American Cotton Oil preferred and two t6 three points for Gulf States Steel, Mexican Petroleum American Smelling, International Pap CT preferred, Peoples Gas and ohio Gas. the latter extending its gain to six points at 10S just before the close.

 As the time approached for the is- suance of the government report on farm reserves, the confidence of the wheat bulls became more and more apparent Gossip was current too that foreigners were buying future deliveries here, and it was said that for the first time since the German war zone decree was issued on Janu- ary 31, American ship owners were coming into the ocean freight market in fairly large numbers.
 Corn showed independent strength. The government report on farm re- serves was expected to be bullish and turned out to be much more so than had been anticipated. Oats were firm in sympathy with corn. Besides, there was persistent buying at Win nipeg, presumably for the British gov ernment. Advanced guesses on farm reserves of oats proved to be consid- erably in excess of the government total.
