REGULATION BULL FIGHTS
NOW PROHIBITED IN MEXICO

MEXICO CITY, June S.-RegulatioI
bull fights now are prohibited in Mex
leo by decree of President Carranza,
but recently contests in which the bull
is not killed, known as ''nocillades"
have been sanctioned. These have not
been particularly popular with the
bull fight enthusiasts who regard them
much in the same light that baseball
fanatics in the United States would re-
gard d ball game in which no batter
was allowed to do anything but bunt
a delegation of society women inter-
ested in Red Cross work called on Gen
cral Carranza recently and requested
that he sanction a contest for the ben
eft of the Red Cross in which the
bull would be killed They explained
that 1t was feared that if only the de-
uatureG performance were advertised
the receipts of the benefit performance
would not greatly swell the treasury Of
the Red Cross. General Carranza de-
clined to comply with the request

SPY IN ENGLAND
POSED AS AN AMERICAN

TOXIC. June S.-An instance of how
closely the Germans followed activities
between Japan and America before the
war was recited here today by Lindsar
Russell. president of the Japan Society
of New York, who is visiting this coun-
try in the interest of better under
standings" on both sides of the Pacific.
THE first German spy to be shot in
England during the present war was
Carl Hans Lody," Russell said. For
two or more years, Lody, posing as an
American, was a member of the Japan
Society of New York and an unfailing
attendant at all meetings. Lody had
evidently joined the society in order to
learn all he could about Japan and its
q INJECTIONS in the United States"

BANKERS Of THIS
DISTRICT URGING
THE SALE Of BONDS

ATLANTA, Ca, June S.--Presidents
of leading bankers associations of
the Sixth federal reserve district are
err thusiastic in their endorsement of
the Liberty bond issue, as is indicated
in the following kilograms just re-
oeived by the Liberty Loan Central
committee.
President J. K Jackson, of the Ala
hama Bankers association, says
Remember always that this is our
government and now our war. All o.
lis cannot go to the trenches, but
there must be no slackers. A patriotic
rivilege permits the buying and CO.
operation in the sale of our Liberty
bonds. They are splendid and the
safest possible investment, and their
over subscription will hasten the day
when every flag will float over free
people"
Rufus H. Brown, president the Geor-
gia Bankers association, wires:
Telegram of the fourth just re
ceived. Have been absent from the
city. Georgia banks should buy Lib
erty bonds as their patriotic duty. The$
should also recommend these bonds to
their patrons as gilt-edge investments,
aside from the fact that every Ameri
can citizen should support his govern
nent by becoming subscriber
Lincoln HUXLEY, president the Florida
Bankers association, is brief and to
tie point. He says:
! "All the dictates of patriotism should
i1duce the people to purchase Liberty
bonds. They are an investment and an
aid combined"
There seems to be some confusion in
the minds of some people regarding the
status of Liberty Loan bonds. The
Central Committee for this district
makes the positive statement that the
Liberty bonds are the bonds of the
United States, the direct obligation ot
the country and not different in any
way whatever from the United States
bonds. The honor and the whole re-
sources of the country stand back Of
them.
So forceful was a resolution passed
at a congress of representatives OF
NEGRO Sunday schools and Baptis;
Young Peoples Unions held in At
jlanta, that the national publicity de-
partment in Washington of Liberty
= Loan bonds had thousands of copies
printed and have sent them for distri-
button among the negroes throughout

Make Election Amendments Effective.
The present Minnesota Legisla-
ture, now in full swing, is urged to
make effective three constitutional
amendments, all Of prime importance
to the farming interests of Mime
sota These three comprise No. and
No. adopted last fall at the general
election and No. 9 adopted in 1914 but
still of no effect since the 1915 Legis-
lature failed to provide for carrying
out the voters wishes. Although all
three amendments have beep approx
ed by the electorate, they are not op-
erative until the Legislature provides
the necessary laws and safeguards for
making them effective. In other
words, if the Legislature ignores
them and fails to take any action, the
result is just the same as if the
amendments had been lost in the elec-
ton.
Amendment No. 9, passed in 1914,
provided that the state should plant
to forests all lands found to be un-
suitable for agriculture. This was
step in forestry extension as we'll as
conservation. The 1915 Legislature
was expected to provide for the ne.
cessary surveys and the subsequent
planting of trees. Nothing was done
by the Legislature, and the wishes of
the people as expressed at the polls
were not complied with.
Amendment No. 1, passed this last
fall, provides that revolving fund of
$250,000 may be set apart from the
fund derived from the sale of school
and swamp lands to be used in con-
structing roads, bitches and fire.
breaks in, through and around unsold
school and swamp lands and in clear
ing such lands. This amendment
should mean a rapid settlement and
development of our idle state lands.
The money will be taken from the
school fund and returned to the
school fund, the improvements to be
made from the revolving fund and
charged to the purchase of the land.
Amendment No. provides that the
permanent school fund of the state
may be invested in first mortgage
loans on improved farm lands extend
ing over five to thirty-five years, at
not less than three per cent interest,
when such loans do not exceed thirty
per cent of the actual cash value of
the land. This extends to farmers the
same right to borrow school funds as
is now accorded cities and counties,
and opens the way for cheaper money.
None of the amendments will be-
come effective without the necessary
legislative action. All were adopted
