Laredo, Texas, Oct 24.~--German
propagandlsts in northern Mexico
and along the border are actively en-
gagged In Installing fright into Mexi-
cans with view TO preventing their
crossing to the American side and
accepting employment as 1aborers on
farms, railroads, etc. One canard
that has been given considerable
publicity by the propagandlsts is that
The Americans are contemplating
drafting all Mexican men between the
ages of 18 and 45 into the army,
while all Mexiacn women will also he
forced into service and taken to
France, where they win be used for
washerwomen for the American sold
lens and the Allies generally"
These kind Of reports have reached
the American consular service on the
border and they are exerting their
utmost efforts TO set the Mexicans
right by assuring them that none hut
American citizens will be subject to
the selectlve draft, while. as for wo-
men, there is absolutely no founda-
ton for the report that they will be
conscripted and used as washerwo-
men in France. as there are any num-
Der of women already in France and
none others are needed for washer
women 6f
Now that the new draft is in effect
1t II expected that the German pro-
pagandists will be manufacturing all
kinds of deliberte falschoods to
thwart the efforts of the Americans
To secure laborers from Mexico to do
agricultural and other work in this

War Time Carelessness.

One typical weakness of our war
factories is that the power-plant is
usually the least protected part of
the establishment" writes Samuel
Hopkins Adams in Everybody's
Magazine:
This is as il a soldier going into
battle should sedulousIy armor his
hands and feet and leave his heart
undefended. In a certain New Eng
land plant. working night and day
on one of the most pressing of war
necessities. a careful and expensive
guardianship was establish ed.
Guards. barred windows, unscalable
fences, all were there. Entry for
an ill-intentioned person would
have been difficult and dangerous.
That is, to the body of the plant
itself. Unfortunately. it had left
its heart outside and exposed. The
transformer, upon which the entire
mechanism depends, was fifty feet
outside the fence. in an unguarded
unprotected field. With very little
trouble and comparatively little
danger, an enemy with a tin can
Cproperly loadedl could have de-
stroyed the transformer, and abso-
lutely paralyzed the whole factory
for a month. every hour OF which
would have meant lives saved to
Germany and lost to the United
States"

A Super Cheesemaker.

Way up in the northeast corner of these United
States, in Palmyra, Me, is little old woman
whose main ambition in life has been to be a
good mother good wife. good housekeeper and
a good cheesemaker. Quite sizeable ambition,
isn't it?
For thirty-hve years she's been Americas lead
ing woman cheesemaker, and although she's II
now. she expects to keep right on spending four
hve months of each year making cheese day.
Her name is Mrs. Marcia Clifford. You'd like
her IL you ever met her, and you'd like her cheese,
too. Everybody who likes cheese would For Mrs.
Clifford isn't satisfied with merely making cheese;
she insists upon making the best cheese she knows
how.
1t is her pet idea that housewife should do
something more than just doing what every other
housewife does, busting, sweeping, washing dishes
and the baby
Il would paint house picture" the old
lady said. I'D raise flowers write book. I'D
do something to take my mind off the routine OF
houscwork."
Cheesemakng, according 70 Mrs Clifford, is an
art and hard work. Every year for three and hall
decades she has made at least ton OF cheese.
One year she made 1000 pounds.
Many prizes adorn the Clifford home, all won at
State and county fairs for the best home msnufac-
tured cheese exhibited.
Il shall try to make more cheese this year than
last" Mrs Clifford is quoted, because country
will need more food than ever before"

Valuable Oils from Cherry Pits.

About 5000 tons of cherries are
grown annually in New York. Michi-
gan. Wisconsin and California, of
which 80 per cent is canned, says the
Popular Science Monthly. In order
TO can cherries the pits are removed.
and in removing the pits juice Is
wasted. Some l600 tons Of pits az
cumulate in a year and lle,00o gallons
Of Juice. Both are now wasted. 'ut
it will not be for long. \ golden
fatty oil, similar to the oil of sweet
almonds. can be squeezed from the
pits: it is worth $T5.0e1. The cake left
after squeezing can be treated 10
yield another oil. a volatile oil worth
SO a pound. and since 1.6O tons OF
pits would yield 6,O00 pounds of this
oil, the product is worth an additional
SCI. 900. The residue after extraction
Of the volatile oil amounts to about
800 tons. worth $50 a ton as stock food.
That makes 5000 more. So the pits
alons are worth a total Of $4,000.
Then. the juice would result in the
production of about 5000 gallons of
alcohol. 21,000 gallons OF soup or $3.50
gallons of Jelly. The value OF these II
is difficult to appraisc. At all events.
the cherry industry must be wasting
$200, 200 a year. A chance for some
body to save this waste and make
fortune.

Pro6tsering and Newspapers.

The hrst duty Of newspaper is to night injus-
tiee and wrongdoing and defend the cause OF the
people.
To fulfill this high mission newspaper must
be free from entsnglng alliances
Any Washington newspaper which has not be-
fore this time realized that prohteerng exists in
this city in its most advanced stage and now tells
its readers this late hour that it intends to night
the prohteer, has either not been awake to the
live issues of the day else is not sincere in its
belated anti-pro6teering campaign.
There may be still another explanation-news
values.
A newspaper is made up daily by standard OF
news values. That is to say, one story will be a
column and another but hundred words in length
because the editor judges that the news value, or
general public interest, is much greater IN the
coumn-length story than it is in the shorter story
So, not infrequenty, when one newspaper
"beats" its contemporary to a big story the beat
en-" newspaper must take up the story in second
hand manner because of its news value. Readers
cannot be fooled They noticed story in one
newspaper to which they may not be subscriber.
and will inquire why the paper they are regularly
reading is not publishing the same stories,
In short, the newspaper is forced to take up the
story because the readers demand it.
But any Washington newspaper which has been
forced to take up fight against the flsgrant
prohteerng in this city cannot be sincere IN Its
effort,
At the meeting last Sunday OF the Federal EN-
ployes' Union to further their organized tight
against the prohteer, Mrs. James H. Boggs, a
prominent social worker, said in her address:
Fellow employees, read The Washington Herald.
From the first it has shown itself to be the friend
OF Federal employees and enemy to profiteering.
1T is standing by US in fight to make it
possible for the government worker to live on his
or her salary in Washington
at should be read every morning by all em-
ployes OF the government who wish to obtain a
fair and just account OF the fight their organization
is waging for them"
We thank Mrs Boggs for this recognition and
We repeat her words here not because of egotis-
tical motive, but because Mrs. Boggs clearly ex-
presses position prohteering.
Our fight against prohteering through weeks and
months is not yet at end In fact it is just be-
ginning, and will not rest from exposing the
pro-German prohteer until Washington has again
been made habtable city.

How Jimmy Proposed.

Ellis Parker Butler. the wsll-known
humorist. has a story in the American
Magazine in which the main char
acter says:
well. Jimmy had been with the
Burtons six years and Annie. our
hired girl, had been with US 1--WE
years. / guess everybody thought she
hadn't any other name at all until
one evening when Jimmy came over
and knocked at the back door and
asked mother il Miss Dornbscher was
home. She wasn't, because she had
gone 10 the Evangelical Lutheran
Church, bu: after that Jimmy used
to come over. and Annie would put
two chairs out in the yard under the
apple tree and they would sit and
talk. Or Jimmy would talk. He
would talk and talk and talk, and
every once in a while Annie would
say. Yes" and. after she learned it.
No" ee, after a couple OF years,
Jimmy began to hold Annie's hand
when he talked to her. and in a couple
of years more they got engaged.
guess they liked each other.
I was in our dining-room one day.
looking to see II Annie had put any
fresh cookies in the Jar in the closet,
when / hesrd my mother say oh.
Annie"' in the kitchen, as il she was
sorry about something. So then Annie
said:
~ bin sorry to go away, too.

SO then Annie cried. and there

classification Of men on industrial and dependency
grounds.
Ii was this same nsistenee on justice that caused
him to reject promotion to lieutenant general. He
refused 10 accept for himself promotion in recog-
milton Of the success with which the seleetve sery
ice law had been applied. on the ground that he had
been assisted in the work Of the draft by just
as sincere, patriotic and hardworking who would
have share in the recognition thus bestowed.
Until some award for services rendered could be
given these men, he would accept nothing for him
self
But how to reward these men--that is the ques-
tioni What fair and just recompense can be given
the the local and district boards, on whose
application of the rules laid down by Crowder the
success OF the draft really rests,
On these boards are many patriotic men Of in
dependent means to whom the idea OF money
reeompeuse for their services would be abhorrent.
They want their services on the boards to be part
OF their contribution to the war.
There are, also, on the other hand, many men
just as patriotic. just as able and eficient-to whom
the monetary sacrifice Of their work on the boards
imposes q hardship. They must live and maintain
their families, yet the work by which they earn
their living has been given up subordinated to
their work for Uncle Sam.
How, between these two groups, to make an
award that will be just and fair to all is puzzling
to Crowder. He hasn't got the answer yet. but
those who know him best declare he'll get it.
