 In return the United States agreed to permit 1000, 900 bushels of corn to be exported each month to the Mexican chamber of commerce to be distributed by it and sold at a profit of not more than five per cent. Applications o1 operating companies in Mexico for corn for their employees will also be granted by the food export board. However. assurances must be given that a food embargo will be placed against all oth- CT countries.
 The Mexican government must also assure an embargo on gold to other countries and that the parity of Amer ican gold be maintained. Mexican am bassador Ignacio Bonillas, cabled his approval to the tentative agreement to hls government and it is expected to become effective at once, according to the telegram received here.
 American mining men here said to- night the tentative agreement would mean the immediate resumption of wholesale mining operations in the re- public Many said they found the met als embargo almost prohibitive and it was known here many companies had planned to close their properties if the decree remained effective.
 The mining men also claimed to see in it an indication of Mexico's friendly attitude toward the United States and the entente allies and predicted that this agreement, if ratified by President Carranza. would be the first of series of friendly agreements between the two countries to the mutual interest ot the allies.
 The appearance in Chihuahua City of new newspaper with a strong pro- ally policy was also taken as an indica- tion of the new feeling of friendship This paper is called Actualidodes and contains a number of leading articles favorable to the allies cause. This paper is expected to counteract the strong German propaganda which has been spread in the state by papers sub sidized by Germans. Americans arriv- ing here from Chihuahua City say the pro- German feeling has given way. to pro ally sentiment and antagonism to the Americans Is found only among the poor peon class.

The Improvement League Indoor
Picnic

Saturday afternoon witnessed the
assembling Of $50 ladies who showed
their appreciation and interest in the
work of the Improvement League.
A p easing program was rendered in
which the ringing note was New
courage and new hope" A well rem
dered piano duet was given by Miss
Tossing and Mrs. Fletcher.
An original poem, written by Mrs.
Gendron was read by Mrs. L. H.
Clark:
May the Improvement League Still
Live
Where would River Falls be if the
Improvement League should die?
There would rise up wall that
would reach the very sky.
Our city would go neglected. a pic
ture of despair
If the 'Leaguers" did not tend it
with their earnest care.
1t was the League that put our city
IN good trim,
With all its cheerful workers that
were so full Of vim.
How many things they've given to
our city with good cheer;
From lodge to the fountains where
the horses drink all year.
The rest room is a comfort without
single doubt,
Very many people who could hardly
do without.
It's place where tired women can
90 and lose their care;
They forget their work and worry in
the books and papers there.
| can count it's blessings everywhere
I look;
They're just as plain to see as the
pages in book
The League has won a name that has
spread for miles around,
It's fame has surely grown, like seeds
do in the ground.
To keep the League agoing, I'm sure
it is no fun,
For it is mighty struggle, hustle
and a run,
To get the work amoving like an en-
CINE on track;
For when you think you've started,
some mishap drives you back.
Do not grow discouraged, for this is
true to life,
There never was victory without
some sweat and strife.
Now those who have served faithful
ly since the League first started
out,
I'm afraid are growing weary, with
out single doubt.
Why can't the newer members show

the moCClo tnoy Te IndO0 Oh,
By stepping into the harness and
| showing their willing love?
There must be still bright women to
carry on this work.
Who will be glad to see it through
and never stoop to shirk.
Do not ever think one moment. we
are going to do without
All those first good workers, with
willing hearts so stout.
We still need them in the business if
we're going to make it pay;
But we need some willing new ones
to help them on the way.
1t is not fair one moment to work the
willing cnes all day,
When there are so many others who
can help to ease the way;
Now may each and every member
make a good and solemn vow,
That the League shall live and pros
per; we will find a way some
how.
Mrs. Malott entered a plea for the
continuation of the work. The
League being pioneer in River
Falls it should be continued by the
old members training the younger
women to take up the work as the
ranks are thinned.
1.-The Faithful Few" was to the
point and illustrated how too often
great things are done. She also
brought to our minds that this or
ganization stands as a community in
terest, one in which all Of the ladies
have an interest and clasp hands,
for after all the things in this world
that count are the things in which
we have a personal interest and
there is need for the work and the
rest room.
"Tis the human touch in this world
that counts,
The touch of your hand and mine
That mean more to the weary
stranger
Than shelter or bread or wine.
For shelter is gone when the day is
DER,
And bread may last for the day
But the touch of the hand
And the sound of the voice
Live on in the soul Away"
The Faithful Few
When the meetin's called to order
And you look around the room
You're sure to see some faces
That from out the shadows loom
That are always at the meetin'
And stay till it is through,
The ones that would mention are
the always faithful few.
They fill the vacant Offices as they
are always on the spot,
No matter what's the weather-it
may be awful hot.

It may be dark and rainy, but they
are tried and true,
The ones that you rely on are the
always faithful few.
There's lots Of worthy members,
Who will come when in the mood
When everything's convenient they
can do little good.
They're factor in the order and are
necessary, too,
But the ones who never fail us are
the always faithful few.
If it were not for these faithful ones
Whose shoulders at the wheel
Keep the order moving onward
Without halt or reel,
What would be the fate of orders
Which have so much to do?
They surely would go under
But for the faithful few.
The play, MRS. Willis Will" was
very we'll rendered, the following
ladies taking part: Mrs. Knowlton
as MRS. Robinson" acted the part
in full of the testamentary execu-
trix. Mrs. Thomson as Rachel"
was very proud of her late husbands
title as sergeant major OF the goth.
Heiresses of Mrs. Willis, Mrs. Buck
as Mrs. Dwindle" and Mrs. Elliott
as Lady Spindle" certainly earned
the right to inherit the property. All
their dignity disappeared when the
rightful heiress was Unexpectedly
presented.
Letha Chinook as Jenny" needs
no introduction and as usual did her
part we'll.
The Poppy dance by Georgia Stew
art and the Folk dance by four
Freshman girls was very pleasing.
Miss Schlosser's reading, Foolish
Questions" was Welt received.
A quartet of high school girls rem
dered a very pleasing selection.
After the program the president,
Mrs. Williams, invited the ladies to
the Domestic Science room for the
picnic supper.
All went away feeling that the
time had been we'll spent and we
dare say the discouraged ones took
on new courage and that much is to
be accredited to the ones who had
the program in charge and that al
ready plans are being prepared for
our picnic year from now. 1t is
pleasing to know that substantial aid
has been secured for the rest room.
so let's all remember the annual bus
mess meeting April 2 and be sure to
attend. Let us keep up the enthusi-
asm. Watch the paper for place of
meeting.
