- Mexico needs money badly not only
to begin payment on these claims, but
to re-establish her domestic affairs.
The new ambassador from Mexico to
this country, Ignaci0 Bonillas, fully

peaches OF northern Spain was the
fate Of the officers and crew of the
schooner Phineas W. Sprague, sthe cap

board a passenger liner from Cadiz.
According to Captain f. A. Jarvis.
the Sprague was pursued by a German
U boat while coasting through the BAY
OF Biscay and was forced to seek ref

the vessel was caught by a treacher-
GUS current and thrown on the beach
near Carbonares, Spain.
No sooner did the residents of that
part of King Alfonso's domain see that
the schooner was helpless, declares the
captain, than they boarded the vessel
In droves and commenced to loot her.
A battle between the crew of the
schooner and the beach combers en-
sued, during which one of the latter
was killed. The Sprague was a total

brought Captain Jarvis and his chief
officer back to this country were

Gagne and Miss King became en-.

FARM HANDS GET $45
A MONTH, WITH BOARD
That's In South Dakota, Where Bump

sioux Falls, s. D.-Because of a
shortage Of farm hands it has become
, necessary In many parts of South d.
kota for the women and boys of the
households and even the girls to work
In the fields. So the farmers and their
wives and children are hard at work
putting In what is believed to be the
greatest acreage Of spring wheat in the
history Of the state. J
With the prospect that prices for
foodstufs will continue high during
the war the farmers have decided to in.
crease their crop acreage. With a ia
vorable season South Dakota will pro.
duce this year the greatest crop of
foodstuffs I'm its history. The residents
OF towns are prepar1ngto have larger
vegetable gardens than ever before. 80
there Is every indication that the state
Will make a new record in crop pro-
duction this year.
Farm hands ready for work demand
from $35 to SIS a month and board
and In many instances the farmers paw
these prices. Only a few years ago
good farm hands could be had from
$12 to $40 month and board. and
those who received the higher figure
were the envied of their fellows
