LATIN AMERICANS
EXPECTED To JOIN
TH|SNAT|0N IN WAR
CUBA, BRAZIL AND BOLIVIA TO
FOLLOW LEAD OF UNITED
STATES AND DECLARE
WAR ON GERMANY.
STRONG PRO-AMERICAN
SENTIMENT IN MEXICO
President MenocaI Sends Message to
Cuban Congress Asking War Edict
Against Teutons-Reviews
Cuba's Obligations to u. S.
Brazil Much Excited.

Washington, April 9-The entrance
of the United States into the great
European war was the signal for the
inauguration of moves in other Amerl-
can republics to declare war on Ger
many.
Declaration of war was asked in a
message sent by President Menocal
of Cuba to the congress of that ma
ton. A committee of five was appoint
ed by each branch of the congress to
consider the message.
Brazil is expected to follow the &C
ton of Cuba and Bolivia is believed to
be waiting only upon the action OF
Brazil.
Chile has been wavering for several
weeks, with strong pressure being
brought upon the government to break
with Germany.
Mexican Pro-American Sentiment.
PrO-American sentiment was report
ed to be spreading in Mexico and Gen
eral CarranZa is said to be planning
to GUST all German officers in his army
Naval officials here called atten-
ton to the fact that a declaration OF
war by Cuba would leave no neutral
ports in the West Indies where a Ger
man warship or submarine could find
temporary shelter.
President MenOcaps message to the
Cuban senate starts by reviewing the
sending by Germany of it's notice of
unrestricted submarine warfare. Re-
ferring to Cubas reply, he added:
"The department of state clearly sig
nified the imminence of a definite rup-
ture if the imperial government per
sisted in it's new plan of submarine
warfare"
Acknowledges Obligations.
The message also reviews Cuba's OBJ
legations to the United States, laying
great stress upon the "obligatiOn of
Cuba to back up the United States in
it's disinterested stand because of the
close-ties, political and economic ex-
listing between the two countries, but
above all to our gratitude for the I'M
selfish and never-failing interest
shown by the great republic Of the
United States in aiding Cuba to
achieve and maintain her independ-
ence."
Brazil May Act.
Excitement in Brazil is reported at
high pitch, following the announce
ment of the sinking of the Brazilian
ship Parana with loss Of three lives.
The situation is regarded as most seri
Gus and definite declarations of For
eign Minister Luaro Muller indicated
an immediate break with Germany.
''The situation is grave; a declara-
ton of war against Germany may be
declared at any time,' was Mullers
public statement.

preparations should be made for it.
 Do not let up in your planning to increase all meat and animal foods. by producing more pork and pork products, and more beef and dairy products, and by raising more poultry and eggs, and by increasing the num- Der of sheep and cattle.
 These things can be done by in- creasing the number of animals. es- pecially of hogs and poultry. Take care of the breeding animals; they in- crease rapidly. Give better care to the mothers; import the surplus young stock from other states. Increase the value or efficiency of each animal. That means to stop slaughtering small calves, pigs, etc., and by stop ping the sale of all desirable females. It also means that the cattle tick one of our most expensive boarders- must be eradicated; that the cows may give more milk, the beef animals put on more fat, the calves grow faster, and the cost of wintering stock cattle reduced materially.
 Our country is engaged in a tre- mendous conflict with mighty for eign power, and the war must be won, and won quickly if much hardship and Sufforinn ara to ho ou0;IaI
 We have been repeatedly and em- phatically warned that the food sup ply is short, and that successful war cannot be fought without an abund- ance of food. Therefore, those who help solve the food problem are serv- ing their country in a measure, just as effectually, as those who stand in the trenches. We must awake to the duty of the hour, or else. food pro- duction may be enforced as military measure. E. J. WATSON,

 Mine Empty
Girl Owner Finds Vein of Gold Worth MilliOn-''Betty to the Rescue" Monday.

Fannie Ward, the clever little Las ky star who scored such successes in "Witchcraft" and "The Years of the Locust" for the Paramount Program, is now appearing in Betty to the res cue," a photoplay written especially for her by the noted photodramatic authors, Beatrice de Mile and Leigh ton Osmum.
 This is a story especially suited to the talents of Miss Ward and was in- spired by joke on her husband, Jack Dean, who is one of the cast support ing her in this picture. One Sunday morning Miss Ward, who loves to work among the flowers in her garden had donned for the purpose a pair of overalls much too large for her and had taken off her shoes and stocking.
 Her husband found her in that cos tune and on teasing her promptly re- ceived a dose of cold water turned from the hose Miss Ward was using. In revenge he turned the camera on her mhen she wasn't looking, and the results were so attractive that when Beatrice de Mile and Leighton Os- mum saw them they determined to write picture wherein Fannie Ward could wear the identical costume.
 In the photoplay Fannie Ward takes the part of hoydenish little girl living with friends of her dead father, who on discovering that Bet tvs mine is worthless, allow her to believe that the money they spend lavishly on her comes from her mine.

KEEP UP THE FIGHT


 ,he eleventh hour-but it is not yet sao @ late to do many things in the way of increasing food production, and borp are few suggestions that could still be utilized to good advantage:
 Increase the acreage of CD Corn for roasting ears, canned corn, stock food and silage for dairy and beef oo+tle The Mexican June corn will .ow have to be planted for these pur- noses, and with favorable seasons, tbis corn will give excellent results. It may be planted up to July first. 70, Velvet beans as feed for live stock of all kinds, and as money crop to coll to feed dealers. These also en- rich the soil. It is still time to plant the Ninety Day or Early Speckled
 3) Soy beans, as cash crop for making oil. meal, and bread, and the stems and leaves for forage, and the whole plant as silage crop mixed with corn silage; or, the whole crop may be grazed by hogs as fatten- ing crop. These also have bene- fcial effect on the soil. This crop may be successfully planted up to the middle of July by using the earlier maturing varieties. (4) Peanuts, on practically all types of soil, as cash crop to be used for making oil and peanut meal to be mixed with flour for bread making, or as stock feed; for manufacture into peanut butter, foods and confections, and as for age crop for live stock, hogs espec- ialy. Either the Red or White Span ish may be planted up to July 18th, and make a good crop when weather is favorable. (5) Sweet potatoes, as a summer and fall crop following oats, Irish potatoes, or other early truck crops. This crop may be util- ized for home consumption, market ing, drying and canning, or, as a stock food of unexcelled merit. By making cuttings of the vines from the early set slips, the acreage may be extended up to the middle of July with good results if the rainfall is sufficient. (6) Cow peas, for hay, and the Early Black Eyes, Crowders, etc., for human food, green, dried and canned. The Whipporwill is also good for table use. These are also for soil improvement. CD Pumpkins, ca- shaws, melons, etc, for table use fresh, dried or canned, and also for stock food. These may be success fully planted up to the first of July. (S) Sorghum, millet, etc., the first for syrup, and also for forage and silage purposes. These may be planted up to the middle of July, and later under favorable conditions. (9) Look after the vegetable garden, and see that constant succession of the staple vege tables are kept up, of such kinds as beans, tomatoes, okra, etc, and begin preparations for a fall garden.
 Increase the acre production of everything planted, by the judicious use of fertilizers and by the utiliza- ton of improved implements and good cultivation so that labor expended may give more profitable returns.
 See that nothing is wasted that can De turned into human food. Can and preserve all the surplus vegetables, fruits, etc., and utilize all wild fruits, such as blackberries, huckleberries, grapes, muscadines, etc. The season Tor canning is now at hand. and due
