WORST IN HISTORY Railroad men described the smash

Railroad men described the smash-up as one of the most disastrous freight wrecks in the history of the road. Both trains were running rapidly downgrade in an effort to gather speed to climb the hills beyond and when the crash came the two engines, weighing more than 150 tens each were demolished and buried under the wreckage of 26 heavily loaded cars. The whole mass was jumbled to- gether within space of 300 feet. The wreckage burst into flames immediately and everything of a combustible nature was consumed.
 Traffic over the line is blocked and it was said tonight the road hardly would be opened before noon tomorrow.

RUNNING TO CAPACITY

"The capacity of the plant is aoout 1o9 cans daily and has been run to full ca pacity since the opening. We are patron ized by people all over the district and far out in the country We use No. , and No cans. and charge cents for canning No. ? cans and cents for No. , cans, when the vegetables are ready pre- pared for canning and 1 cent extra where we prepare the vegetables.
 This being time when everybody is striving to economize and save, we were delighted beyond expression recently to learn that a gentleman in Birmingham has invented a can opener which suc- cessfully opens the cans and leaves them in good condition for use another season
 Cans, when opened if emptied at once and thoroughly scalded with a lit tie soda in the water, then dried thor oughly, wrapped in paper and stored away will be as good as new for the next season. MRS. J. c. BRYANT. President of Housewives League, Ems

MEXICO and Berlin
IN TOUCH BY AIR
Wireless Capable Of Sending
Messages Between Capitals

washington, March S.--Information
has reached the government from a
semi-oficial source that through the
perfection of a powerful wireless
telegraph plant in Mexico City direct
communication between the Mexican
capital and Germany has been estab-
lished. ~
Of1cials realize that IL confirmed
this news is of great importance and
an investigation has been ordered.
Through connection by Mexico City
with the land teiegraphs leading into
the United States, Germany would be
able to obtain complete exemption
from the censorship which now as
imposed upon its communications by.
the American government at the wire
less stations at Sayytlle and tucker.
ton and by the British and French
governments, in their control of the
Atlantic cables.
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
ers and submarines night 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 Berlin, and in case OF war even
more serious 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 in Mon
terey to determine upon uniform ac-
ton by Germans in Mexico in the
event of an outbreak Of war between
the United States and Germany.

washington Times-The first prairie
fire of the seaso occurred last Satur-
day, getting away from John Barry,

outfit and had set fire to some straw
stack butts to clear off the ground.
A whirlwind or something carried a
spark across the break and before he
realized it the fire was beyond control

rate by a strong north wind. Oscar
Fieber's shacks were right in the path
of the fire. Fortunately he was at
work in a field not far away and ran
to the rescue in time to save the house
and contents, although the tar paper
covering was all burned of. There
was a lake of water within q few
