Business Men Enjoy Social Evenin
With Farmer Friends.

With Farmer Friends.
Special to Times Republican.
Tama, July 24-The problem of the
business man getting close to his far
mer friends was solved by Carl B. Har-
rison of Tama, when he. suggested at
the commercial club meeting that a
few Of the members take their cars,
fill them with families and friends and
drive out ten miles to the church at
Sheridan Center some evening and eat
ice cream and cake with the good peo-
pie of that community. The suggestion
was acted upon Monday evening to an
extent little thought of by any one.
Over 500 gathered, at the beautiful
country church after the day spent in
the harvest field, store or office, and
all that could get into the church en-.
joyed the illustrated talk by Rev. E. c.
Cleworth, while as many more outside
on the lawn became better acquainted
socially.
After the lecture the Tama Military
band played popular airs while ice
cream, brought out by the Tama men,
and the cakes, furnished by the Sheri-
dan farm women, were served to every
one Aee' AHe greatest compliment 10
the excellence Of the cake baking was
paid by the women Of Tama, who were
there. by their avidity for several help
ings to tempting piles of cakes Of all
known species.
The church lawn was lighted by cleo
tricity furnished by L. T. Fisher, who
took out for the occasion Delco light
ing outfit.
The success of this little excursion
was so marked that already plans are
in the making for similar trips to other
communities in Tama's large trading
territory.

Boston, Mass, May rs. - Eighty.
eight corporations and person have
been indicted by the federal grand
jury here for conspiring to monopo.
lie interstate commerce In onions,
storing them in warehouses owned or
controlled by the various members and
putting them on the market from Sep
TENDER to April. The government
charges this association has had q do.
minating and illegal control Of the on.
ion trade for the last three years.
For the 1916 crop the producers
probably received less than 2 cents a
pound. In mid-winter many Of these
onions were sold to retailers and
through them to consumers at 10 to
Is cents q pound. 1t is contended
by the government that this tremen.
dous margin between the price accru.
ing to the producer and the price paid
by the consumer was largely due to
the illegal control Of the trade exer.
cised by this association"

Washington, May 28.-President Car
rama of Mexico, processing himself
now to be as anti-German as he re-
Gently was pro-German, is endeavoring
to negotiate an understanding with
the United States by virtue of which
the Mexican government would sub
scribe to support of the American
cause in the European war and re-
ceive In return American financial sup
port.
May Break with Germany.
1t Is not unlikely that as a result
OF these negotiations Mexico will pro-
claim neutrality benevolent to the
United States and give what assist
ance 1t can to the Allies.
1t is possible that Mexico eventually
will break relations with Germany
particularly II President Wilson should
indicate that such action by Carranza
would be desirable.
Experiences Change Of Heart.
Whatever the outcome it may be
stated that Carranza has experienced
a change of heart since the United
States began loaning billions of dol
lars to its allies. He now is eager to
do anything the United States wants
done, particularly as he has been given
to understand that he cannot expect
to obtain financial assistance from the
United States unless he first eradi
Gates the suspicion that he ia in
