Talk o. the Times

Hill City, who sang a little senti-
mental love song, "All That !
Want in This Wide, Wide World
Is You, You, You"
This song is old and by no
means classical. Two of the
judges, moved by this love song,
ranked her first.
Apparently they could not ap-
preciate really good music. We
deem their decision of little value,
for they are very ignorant of mu-
sic. Plainville is ready at any
time to meet Hill City again in
vocal music providing we can have
competent judges. AS it was,
many people of Hill City said that
Miss Farrier should have had all
firsts.
What has become OF the O.
I. grandmother who smoked
a pipe and blew the smoke
into the children's ears when
they had earache?
A rousing cheer for Rachael Roe
With everyone a hit;
She has a ukulele but
She never plays on 1t.

Revolution Torn Republic in Note to
Neutrals Proposes Joint Effort to
End War-German Influence Sus-
pected
Washington Dispatch, 18th.
Revolt tion-swept Mexico's defacto
government entered the lists as an
international peace-maker With an
i,lentic note to all neutrals, il pro-
posed a joint effort to end the Eu-
ropean war, to be followed, in the
event of failure, by the cutting off
of ali exports Of munitions and sup
plies to belligerents.
The communicates was handed to
the State Department bv R. P. De
Negrl, charge of the Carranza en-
bassy. 1t was received with express
sions of mingled amusement and
gravity in official quarters. There
had been no decision tonight as to
the American governments response.
but the prevailing opinion was that
Secretary Lansing would reply
promptly and briefly, referring to the
futile effort of President Wilson to
bring about peace, and pointing out
that under existing conditions an
embargo on exports would be a
breach of neutrality.
German Influence?
Among Entente diplomats Carran-
za's action was denounced as another
evidence Of German influence in
! Mexico, and as a further effort to
i becloud the issue and embarrass the
/ United States in the situation result
ing from Germany's new submarine
campaign. Officials of the govern
ment were not so outspoken in vote
ing their opinions, but those W.,
commented informally frankly ex
pressed the same view.
1t became known tonight that
proposal similar to the one nov
, brought forward officially was mad
at one Of the closing sessions of tn
Mexican-Anerican joint commiss1o
, which recently attempted b solv
7 border difficulties. Luis Cabara, mir
5 lister of finance in Carranza's cab
5 net ard head of the Mexican con
1 missioners, suggested to the Ame1
e leans that he had hoped the commits
: sion not only would settle dispute
/. between the United States and Me,
: leo, but might bring peace to tt
l. world. An embargo on exports w;
IL his plan.
It Mexico's exports to Europe a

l. to the Entente allies. Enormous qua
lie titles Of oil for the British fleet a

$15,0O0 A WEEK
How In the World Does the Poor
Man Stagger Along On a Pitiful
Salary Like That

The high cost of living is a mere
bagatelle these days when compared
to the high cost of acting. A con-
tract was closed in New York last
Wednesday afternoon between Doug
las Fairbanks, film star, and the
Aircraft Pictures Corporation, film
producers, whereby Fairbanks is to
! receive flat salary of $4,000 a
week for appearing only in Artcraft's
! photoplay productions. This modest
! remuneration amounts to a paltry
$825,O00 year, which is exactly
eleven times more than the salary
paid to the President Of the United
| States and which, also, is high
water record for salaries even in the
film industry.
AS a matter-of- fact the amazing
contract signed by Fairbanks gives
him $4,000 week more than the
sum now being paid to Mary Pick
; ford and $4,000 a year more thar
J, the huge salary paid to Charlie
) Chaplin, and which staggered theat
rical circles less than a year ago

Cohan already has worked four week

Therefore, he will receive for his act

Don't be misled by this term, for
the appearance of pimples, boils or

There is Plenty of Time TO Get

Correspondence of The Robesonfan.
Fairmont, Feb. Sit is more than
likely that many of the yourg TO-
bacco plants have been killed during
this severe cold spell.
We think it wise, and advise ali
farmers whose plants were up, that
they take the canvass off and re-
sow their beds at once. They have.
plenty of time to get seed and sow
now for early plants. If the plants
were not killed, the second sowing
of seed will not hurt; and if the,
first are killed, the second sowing
will come along in plenty of time
/ We do not think it we'll to rake or-
tear up the beds, but just sow on top
