WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-Some
revelation of allied attitudes to-
wards the German peace proposal
for an armistice is expected before
another week.
Thus far, according to state de-
partment authorities, this govern
ment has had no answer from the
allies. They must now indicate
whether they are agreeable to
framing an armistice with the
presidents fourteen terms as the
foundation.
Then the military men must decide
whether an arrnistice with proper safe
guards can be arranged.
The feeling here has been that 1t was
merely matter of brief negotiation
before the allies would agree to the
presidents terms.

peace proposal has been rendered
to ENJOYS of France and Great

state. The proposal practically is a

Government authorities believe
that Turkey will drop out of the

Dispatches quoted recently show the
Turks are angry at Cermany's lack OF
support and actually are willing to get
into the war on the side of the allies.
Offer of a separate peace by Austria

The Ozark Trails from st. Louis to

coming season. The management has
been waiting on the completion of the
road.
State and National money, to the
amount of one hundred thousand dol
lars has been appropriated to finish
the Ozark Trails across Quay county
in New Mexico of which Tucumcari is
the county seat.
The Kansas City Star. in an able ed
%itorial, emphasizes the appearances Of
road building not being neglected dur

With good hard roads criss-cross-
ing the United States, troops in large
bodies, including military equipment
and supplies can be, when needed,
moved more rapidly than on railroads
There are enough automobiles and
motor trucks in any average county to
load in and transport, at n time, all
male citizens of the county, of mill
tary age, including equipment. Max
ing roads is military preparedness.
Mr.. r. H. Evarts of the Ozark

A YUCCA CHOPPER WITH A
GRAVITY FEED A SUCCESS

VIM. G. Blodgett, a noted engineer
machinist of Michigan, decided that
Sunshine State was n proper place to
rear his fine family and on the way
here he observed vast areas of yucca
plants, which he was told made "the
best cattle feed in the world" when
properly cut up. His analytical mind
put two and two together and he al
most exclaimed aloud: "11l cut it,"
II fortunately happened that Mrs.
Blodgett had formerly spent some few
months in Deming, as the guest of her
sister, Mrs. +. c. Peterson. and with
the memory of our delightful climate
in mind the family came directly here
where Mr.. Blodgett's ideas were more
than confirmed regarding the value of
yucca plants for cattle feed and tho
desirability of making a simple, alb
solutely fool-proof and practically in
d~estructible machine that any ranch
employee could run and that could con-
vert twenty to thirty tons per day Of
useless yucca plants, into cattle feed,
pronounced by government chemists
more valuable than timothy hay. ut a
cost of less than 500 per ton.
The engineer went to +. c. Peter
sons scrap heap and in less than one
weeks time had perfected a machine
that, by simple, adjustable blades. can
cut any size yuccas into any size pieces
desired, for cattle, sheep or goats.
Only four castings for the machines
are required. so that they can be turn
ed out in large quantities on short no.
tice.
The machine has q gravity feed. so
that no power to hold the plant against
the cutters, and everything is so simple
and yet so strongly built that any boy
who can lift up a piece of yucca can
turn out from thirty to forty tons per
day Of perfectly chopped feed.
The whole machine and engine, all
mounted on channel steel frame, can
be transported or any light wagon and
will be shipped fully assembled, and
ready to run. The machine, with the
frame weighs a little over $50 pounds
and any engine ear be mounted on the
frame.
Cowmen pronounce it perfection it.
self.
+. c. Peterson & Co., the well known
carriage manufacturers and black
smiths of Deming, have started to
make the machine, which Mr.. Blodgett
has appropriately named the Ideal"
as it is very simple, very solid, per-
feet in action and can be sold for only
Sl45.O0 exclusive of the engine.
The demonstration machine is being
run with a five-horse electric motor
and three-inch belt.-Deming Graphic
