peace, says the Kaiser in letter to the
German Chancellor, and he says further
that with Gods aid he took steps to free
the world. His taking the Beigians from
their homes to make slaves of them, and
resortjng to starvation to compel them
to work, is of course one of his steps for
freeing the world.

for the product of the herds. The cow

the last decade, and they will only come
back when there is living profit in the

He believes that "the high prices for
grain have resulted in a more careful
study and that a decided improvement in
feeding and care has been made during
the year." and sincerely hopes ''that the
dairymen of Maine will investigate the
movement for higher prices for higher

After Villa had made his raid across
the border, killing number of our citi
zens and destroying property, force
was sent into Mexico under Gen PERISH
ing with orders to take Villa, dead or
alive. The pursuit of the elusive bandit
was fruitless, part of our forces were
led into ambush and shot down by the
troops of Carranza, who used machine
guns and munitions furnished from this
country during an embargo that was only
operative against Huerta. Since then
Villas whereabouts have been reported
daily in the newspapers, his capturing
and looting of towns, ETC., but no move
ment has been made to kill or capture
him. The Mexican commission, after a
session of several months. agreed upon
protocol, but CarranZa refused to accept
it, having demanded from the frs: that
our troops should be removed from Mex
leo, a demand that this government is
about to accede to. Meanwhile Car
ranza's strength is said to be rapidly
waning and all that maintains him in his
position is the recognition given him by
the administration. The situation is de-
scribed in verse as follows:

POST SCRIPT
Written by the Chore Bow

We hear that John Mounsey has
unloaded his wagon-load of dirt.
For long time John has been very
favorably impressed with some of the
deserted farms Of the New England
states and we presume that he con-
'ceived the idea of moving part of
"The Old Home Place" as top dress
ing. So early last fall he loaded up
his wagon. There operations sus-
pended. We have always guessed that
his better 2 /3rds did not like the plan.
We are glad to know John is going
to leave the Old Place here and stay
with it.
Moral-Never be too hasty in de-
Gliding Momentous questions, even Tho
it does make the wagon Sway-backed.
