Mexican Trouble Most Impor-
tant Question.

Washington, Dec. THE Mexi-
can situation overshadows all ques-
tions likely to come before congress
this week.
The senate foreign relations COM
mittee will meet tomorrow to give
further consideration to resolution
requesting President Wilson to break
off diplomatic relations with Mexico
and to withdraw recognition of the
Carranza government.
Senator Fail, Republican of New
Mexico, author of the resolution,
talked over the situation with the
president Friday afternoon and it
had been expected that Mr.. Wilson
would give some expression of opin-
ion on the proposal in advance of the
meeting. Senator Fall said tonight,
however, that the president had not
definitely promised any response,
either before tomorrow's meeting, or
later.
Aside from Mexico there is work
enough to keep senate and house
busy until the holidays with little
probability that the German peace
treaty will be taken up in the senate
meanwhile. Indeed, with the presi-
dent and Republican leaders appar-
emily deadlocked over responsibility
for the next move, no action on the
treaty before next month has been
expected.
Senate leaders still hope to get a
vote this week on the Cummins bill,
designed to meet conditions with re-
turn of the roads to private opera
tion and control, but with the long
fight over the bills anti-strike provi-
sion there may be no final enact
ment until next month.
President Wilson announced last
spring that the roads would be turn
ed back the first of the year but
many senators believe now that he
will wait until the new law is effec-
tive.

FoRDsoN TRACTORS

Now is the time to break
your land deep in order to pre-
pare for early and thorough
preparation next spring. Early
planting is the only way to
head off the boil weevil.
Plow by machinery and re-
lieve the acute labor situation.
One man can break eight acres
a day any depth desired up to
20 inches.
The Fordson is the most
economic tractor on the mar
ket. Original cost is less, opera
ting expense is less and up
keep is. less than other tractors.
Will be glad to make a dem
onstration any day.
