BREAK WITH MEXICO SEEMS
PROBABLE
VILLA REPORTED AS DEFEATED

After the complete failure of the negotia-
lions with Carranza, it is stated from Wash
ington that President Wilson has decided
definitely to withdraw the Pershing Army of
$4,000 regulars from Mexico.
This move, if it actually materializes, will
mark the termination of the punitive expedi-
ton, dispatched by President Wilson, last
March, after the Columbus massacre, the
object of which was to take Villa dead or
alive"
Reports from Mexico indicate that the
Carranza government has in preparation
demand for the immediate withdrawal Of
General Pershing's army-this demand to be
in the nature of an ultimatum. These adj
vices also state that Carranza officials are
convinced that break with the United
States is inevitable.
1t is reported that General Villa was de-
feated at Jiminez, Mexico, on January 9Th,
by Carranzista forces, with the loss of 1900
dead, wounded and captured. According to
an Ell Paso despatch, there were 81 Villa Off
GERS wounded and several high officers killed
It is also stated that Villa and his staff fled
into the state of Durango in an automobile,
pursued by government troops. AS reports
from Mexico are usually grossly distorted
and exaggerated, the U. S. Government
agents were loath to accept the Carranza re-
ports of the victory, but it seems they have
now been confirmed. This defeat comes as
sharp reverse after the notably successful
operations of Villa during the past few
weeks.

PROPOSAL BEFORE CONGRESS FOR
ZONING PERIODICALS

A proposal is before Congress to increase
second class postage on newspapers and perl
odicals. It is proposed to retain the present
rate of one cent pound within radius of
300 miles from the place of publication. Be-
yond this, up to 600 miles the rate is to be
two cents, and so on, in proportion, until
maximum of six cents is reached for all dis
tances beyond 1900 miles.
While this plan would not seriously affect
many local newspapers, it will impose very
heavy burden upon all periodicals of national
circulation. 1t is stated that thousands of
letters and kilograms, protesting against the
enactment of the measure, have poured into
Washington from such unexpected sources
as religious publications of small but scat
tered circulation, whose publishers have told
the members of Congress frankly that if the
law is passed they will be compelled to SUI
spend publication.
Many leading magazines have indicated
that their property will be practically con-
fscated if the law goes into effect because
they cannot pay the rates sought to be i'm
posed
With the measure, is clause which pro-
poses to reduce the postage from two cents
to one cent on all letters delivered locally, and
this will, no doubt, appeal to many. The
general purpose of the purposed measure is
to increase postal revenue; while it is claimed
that there would be loss of revenue on local
letters, the increase on periodical postage
would far more than overbalance this. 1t
has been approved by the House Committee,
but the newspapers and publishers through
out the country are making vigorous fight
against it. The Chicago Evening Post says:
eve hope it will be voted down. 1t is
virtually an attack on education and the
spirit of united Americanism Badly as the
Postofice Department may need increased
revenues, it cannot need them badly enough
to justify such bill"

DIR. DUDLEY ANNOUNCES PERFEC-
TON OF HIS METHOD OF TREAT
ING STEEL RAILS

Through the efforts of DR.. P. H. Dudley,
the metallurgist and rail expert, of the New
York Central lines, the hope is held out that
in the near future all railroads in the United
States will be using the fawless rails for
which carriers have searched for half
century.
Every year there are wrecks and derail-
ments caused by broken rails. During the
thirteen years, between July 1, 1901 and
July LIST, 1914, there were 2,762 derailments,
caused by broken rails on all the railroads
under the supervision of the Interstate Com
merce Commission. These accidents caused
the death of IT'S persons and the injury of
6004, while the estimated damage involved,
amounted to $3,237 ,793..
The rails for the New York Central Rail-
road since 1880 have been made under the
supervision of DR.. Dudley, and in stretch
of rails he made and laid five years ago,
from New York to Buffalo, there has been
but one break or failure. His method de-
veloped through careful experimentation,
consists, roughly speaking, in relocating the
rails during the process of rolling, and in
this manner preventing the development of
interior assures.
He has just announced the perfection of
his method of treating steel rails, and has
submitted to the American Railway Engi-
neering Association supplemental report,
giving technical recommendations for the
guidance of manufacturers and users of rails.

INDIANS LOSE FIGHT FOR CHICAGO
LAKE FRONT LANDS

The suit of the Pottawatomie Indians,
claiming ownership of all Chicago lake front
reclaimed land, occupied by the city and
several railroads, was dismissed by the Unit
ed States Supreme Court on January 9Th.
Many rich residents and corporations were
interested in the litigation which involved
property worth millions of dollars.
The Indian claims dated back to the early
treaties between the United States and Great
Britain.
Michigan, and claim they had grants giving
them ownership of all the land under the
lake.

Poultry Talks
BY O. l.. TINDALL.

I have been requested by the Manage
ment" to write something on the subject of
Poultry Raising. Zion is seeking all kinds
of honorable and useful business for her
people, Zion believes that the Kingdom of
God includes every legitimate business, and
that man who runs farm or chicken
ranch may and ought to do it for the glory
of Cod the same as man who conducts
prayer meeting or breaches sermon. This
is good Gospel and sound doctrine.
Zion has large variety of industries and
various kinds of business. She helps the
people in this way. It gives them work and
home in clean city. It enables them to
bring their children to a city where God is
supposed to rule. It takes their families
from the wicked cities of the world, where
the chances are all against them for Right
eousness.
We have let the poultry business drop for
some time so far as the writing is concerned.
One can hardly believe the reports, given
out by the officials, that the Poultry business
of the United States exceeds the cattle, or
horse, or dairy business. It is called the
"Bilion Dollar Industry" There is money
in it, as well as good eating. It is business
that every one dabbles in to a certain extent,
from the housewife with her backyard flock
of dozen "biddies" which supplies her with
fresh eggs, to the man who raises them by
the hundred thousand [ read of firm the
other day that sets $4,000 eggs at one time.
I visited Poultry Plant near here last
Spring that had two incubators of 2OOO-egg
capacity each. The man was taking off
some 1900 to 1900 chicks that day, and he
already had $500 little fellows" in his
brooder houses.
This plant was owned by a millionaire
packer, who handles cattle and other stock,
and he does not do it for fun, but for revenue.
I concluded there must be something in it.
My own limited experience has proven to
me that the business will pay. | am per-
suaded that if it were taken hold of and
carried on in businesslike way, as Zion
does the Bakery, or the Handkerchief Fac
tory, and other things, the Poultry business
would surpass any of them.
1t is peculiar business, as most people
find who try it. 1t has been looked upon as
small affair for the women folks to get
few eggs in the Spring and Summer, and
one that might furnish them with little pin
money, but not worthy Of mans time and
talent But that day has passed. 1t has
come to the front and has taken it's place
alongside any of the animal industries.
Many of the Poultry Plants in all parts OF
the country have thousands of dollars in
vested and occupy large farms, and make

OBJECTS TO INCOME LAW AS NOW
FRAMED

Ebert H. Gary, Chairman of the Steel
Corporation, and whose writings on fnan-
cial and economic matters have been widely
quoted from time to time, states that he re-
CARDS the ''income tax law, now in force in
the United States, unreasonable, unfair and
inimical to the best interest of the country
for the reason that it tends to create classes,
and to discriminate between them"
Judge Gary does not object to an income
tax, but he objects to a few people being
compelled to pay tax, "the amount and
uses of which may be determined by the re-
mainder of the people," He thinks that ex-
emption figures should be lowered in the in
terest of justice. He says:
cit is reasonable to have some amount
exempted, say $1,000, as in other countries,
on the ground that if any family is left with
out sufficient income to provide the absolute
necessities, the public would be or should be
compelled to furnish the deficiency. Or the
amount which the highest paid unskilled la
borer receives might be a fair exemption"

The Webb-Kenyon Law, prohibiting ship
ments of liquor from wet into dry states,
was upheld in the United States Supreme
Court at Washington, on January 9Th.
The decision also sustained West Vir-
ginia's recent amendment to her laws for
hiding importation in Interstate Commerce
of liquor for personal use.
This is regarded as one Of the most sweep
ing decisions upon record upholding prohibi-
ton. After having been vetoed by Presi-
dent Taft who held it as unconstitutional,
and having been repassed by Congress over
his veto, the law was sustained by the Su-
preme Court by vote of to 2. The leaders
Of the Prohibition movement declare this
decision is only second in Importance to the
proposed constitutional amendment.
Mr. E. J. Davis, Of Chicago, Superin-
tendent of the Anti-Saloon League, has made
this comment:
"What the bred Scott decision was to
slavery the decision today on the Webb-Ken-
yon bill would have been to the temperance
cause if it had gone against them. 1t practic-
ally would have nullifed the effect of the
statewide prohibition laws in the twenty
three states which have adopted them. It
would have permitted liquor to be shipped
into the states regardless of the state laws
against it,"
