Farmers Interested in Bills.

Washington, Dec. 17.-All farm
ers who borrow money will have
their eyes on Washington next week,
when hearings are to be held on
dozen on more bills to amend the
Federal farm loan act.
More than one hundred and twenty
thousand farmers, who have borrow
ed money under the farm loan act,
have a direct dollars-and-cents in
terest in the fate of these bills be-
cause they have borrowed in the ag-
gregate three hundred fifty millions
of dollars on longer and more ad-
vantageous terms and at lower rates
of interest than farmers of this gen
Grafton ever before borrowed a like
amount And all farmers who bor-
row money, regardless of where they
borrow it, have an indirect but none
the-less dollars-and-cents interest in
the bills, because all farmers now get
their money for at least 1 per cent
less than they would be paying if the
Federal farm loan act never had been
passed.

MEXICO D|SM|SSES
JENKINS MATTER
With the Statement that Belief
If United States In jenkins
Innocence Does Not
CHANGE MEXICAN LAWS

Mexico City, Dec. 1.-THE release
of William o. Jenkins, the American
consul at Puebla, on bail, has remov-
ed all motive for a misunderstand-
ing between Mexico and the United
States, is the Mexican reply to the
note of the United States regarding
the arrest of Consul Jenkins after
he had been released by the bandits
and the ransom money paid to them
later.
The Mexican answer was handed
to the American charge de affaires
this morning. The note declares that
the Jenkins case takes on an entire
Iy different aspect, and is not in the
realm of diplomacy, inasmuch as he
violated the laws of that country,
and since he has been released on
bail he has been accorded the same
treatment of others who are guilty of
the infraction of Mexican laws
In plain terms, it refuses the of
fer of the offices of America for a
legal examination of the case, and
says that it is a legal question to be
determined in the Mexican courts
and that the American belief in the
Innocence of Jenkins does not alter
!, the laws of that country.

ENGLISH UNIVERSITIES
APPLY FOR ASSISTANCE

London, Dec. 17--Oxford and
Cambridge universities have applied
Tor financial assistance from the
state. The government has respond
ed by appointing commission to in
quire into the matter. The chairman
OF the commission is the former Pre-
mier Herbert H. Asquith.
There is no doubt in the public
mind that both the famous universi-
ties are hard up, but SO also is the
state, and the present is not consid-
cred the most suitable time for OBJ
tanning any considerable grant from
1t. Meanwhile many of the under
graduates are finding it difficult to
make both ends meet owing to the
inflated cost of living. Efforts are
being made by invoking the prof.
teering act to enable them to procure
necessities at less cost.

EXPERTS WHO ARE SCAN
MING THE HEAVENS TO-
DAW TO ASCERTAIN THE
PREDICTED CONSPIRACY

NEPTUNE FIND NO REA-
SON TO BE ALARMED

Washington, Dec. 17.-Experts
who have the weather under surveil-
lance and swho have been scanning
the heavens and noting the changes
in the course of the winds and the
baremetric changes, in order to dis
cover whether the prediction that
there would today be a conspiracy
between Neptune and Jupiter which
would bring the world to an end
have been unable to discover indica-
tions of anything unusual in the
firmament.
The weather men could find no
low pressure areas on the North At
1antic coast and in the northwest,
and no conditions which would prob
ably lead to low pressure areas
throughout the country, except in the
southwestern part of the country.
The outlook for tonight and tomor-
row are for storms in the Great Lake
region, and fair weather elsewhere
and in the Mississippi region.

Engineer Murray Leaves.

Last night in the firemen's hall a
most delightful supper was served in
honor of l.. F. Murray, who has serv-
ed the town and the firemen in a
most satisfactory manner for five
years and eight months
Mr.. Murray was in Wilson when
we received oup first fire-fighting
truck and has kept the machines in
perfect condition. 1t is with a feel
ing of sincere regret that the town,
and especially the volunteer firemen,
are to lose the services and compan-
lonship of Mr.. Murray. So to show
the real appreciation of his services
and friendship, the active members
of the fire department assembled last
night and enjoyed most delightful
supper. The supper was of three
courses, and was prepared by Need
ham Herring, L. X. Wilkins and Tom
| Wilson. There is not a fireman who
was present last night that will ever
forget that supper. Waldorf Astoria
chefs could not have improved it.
During the supper, L. K. Wilkins
presented Mr.. Murray with a gift
from the firemen, a solid gold Junior
Order ring.
After a few talks by members OF
the department, table was spread
for the colored fremen, who paid a
high tribute to oysters, turkey, cram
berry sauce and tipsey cake. BeT
Mincey, chief of the colored fremen
made a splendid talk and in mos
fitting words praised the work of Mr.
Murray and expressed words of re
gret on account of him leaving, be
cause the co1ored firemen as we'll a.
the white fremen had learned tc
like Mr.. Murray on account of hi
generous disposition and never fail
ing services. In closing his talk, Bel
Mincey made an earnest request tha
| when he passes from this world t
another that the entire fire depart
ment attend his funeral and carr
one length of hose as last token G
respect.
: Mr.. Murray has resigned as eng
] neer of the fire department to tax
f effect Jan. 1. Too much cannot b
y said of his services during his f1v
0 years and eight months employmer
! by the town, and it is with deep r,
gret that he leaves us.
