Wants To Purchase
Surplus Machinery
Prison Flax Plant

Alfonso M. del Campo, who owns
flax mill at Guadalajaro, jail, Mexico,
was here yesterday afternoon negoti-
ating with state officials for the BUR.
chase of some of the surplus and unus-
ed flax machinery which has been on
hand ever since the flax plant was in
stalled at the state penitentiary. He
also wants to purchase some flax seed.
Governor Withycombe gave his ap-
proval to selling some of the flax
breaks and threshers which the state
has never had use for. After the leg
lsature appropriated $4,000 for the
flax experiment, J. c. Cady, the first
superintendent of the flax plant, was
commissioned by the governor to go
east and purchase a suitable plant for
the flax experiment. He went east and
purchased what he declared was ma
chinery for the largest flax plant in
the world. He bought IL threshing ma
chimes and 12 breakers. No more than
six of the breakers have ever been used
while only few Of the threshers have
been used. The others have been stor-
ed away at the prison.
AT the time that Cady made a fail
ure of handling the flax and ran the
state in the hole financially his ex-
travagant purchase of machinery was
cited as an illustration of his lack Of
business Judgment.

The Germans die in every style that's been invented
up to date they lie around in rick and pile they're borne
away in box and crate They fall before the roaring guns
and planted lack eptaph; the while the kaiser and
his sons are posing for photograph. In herds and
sWarms in droves and focks the Germans upward turn
their toes they perish while the landscape rocks beneath
the marching of their foes At Wilhelms word the gray
clad ones march forth to face the deadly storms the while
the kaiser and his are putting on new uniforms
Some guns now used weird and strange for countless
leagues their missiles whoop but gun has so great
range that it can hit that sacred group Though death
may riot mid the Huns and for the last survivor search
the kaiser and his stalled will be concealed behind

hung with GRAPE and echo with the sounds of woe At

KAISER ANNOUNCES
DEFEAT ON EAST FRONT
Also States That He Has Of
fered To Give His En-
enlies Peace.

Berlin, Oct. 7.-Emperor William yes
terday issued a proclamation to the
German army and navy in which. after
announcing that the Macedonian front
had erumbled, he declared that he had
decided, in accord with his allies, again
to offer peace to the enemy.
The text of the emperor's proelama-
tiOn reads:
. For months past the enemy, with
enormous exertions and almost with
out pause in the fighting, has stormed
against your lines. In weeks of the
struggle, often without repose. YOU
have had to persevere and resist a nu-
merleally far superior enemy. Therein
lies the greatness of the task which has
been set for you and which you are
fulfilling. Troops of all the German
states are doing their part and are
heroieially defending the fatherland
on foreign soil. Hard-is the task.
" My navy is holding its own against
the united enemy naval forces and is
unWayerlngly supporting the army in
its difficult struggle.
The eyes of those at home rest
with pride and admiration on the
deeds of the army and navy. | express
to you the thanks of myself and the
fatherland.
'The collapse of the Macedonian
front has occurred in the midst of the
hardest struggle. In accord with our
allies | have resolved once more to
offer peace 10 the enemy, but | will
only extend my hand for an honorable
peace. We owe that to the heroes who
have laid down their lives for the
fatherand, and we make that our duty
to our children.
Peace Far From Certain
Whether arms will be lowered is a
question. Until then we must not slack
en-. We must. as hitherto, exert all our
strength and in Gods gracious help,
we feel ourselves to be strong enough
to defend our beloved fatherland

had made some extra money and for
that reason you felt as if you could af

Brian made no reply, but sulkef the
remainder of the evening. While Ruth
wondered how she was going to make
him reasonable if he became angry
every time they talked.
After he had gone to sleep, she rose
quietly and tucked ten dollar bill in
his vest pocket, the pocket where he
kept his change. He would be sure to
find it there. Then she erept back to
bed. That. with the twenty she had
given him in the morning, would per-
haps prevent his borrowing.
The next morning at breakfast he
himself brought up the subject:
Now see here, Ruth, we might as

leave me to eat all alone for q week at

words.
