reported to have attempted to obtain
a coaling station in Mexican-Pacific
waters. This report, he declared, had
no other basis in fact than the en-
ployment of Japanese fishermen by
Mexican fishing corporation.
Meantime, senate league of nations
opponents today declared if the now
meager reports that these sales or
concessions are actually granted or
under way, are borne out, the fact
will be used as one of the main argu-
ments against the league of nations
covenant as submitted by President
Wilson.
DoDeEs DIRECT COMMENT
Senators were wary about COM
menting for direct quotation, point
ing out that news from Mexico in the
past has often proven uncertain on
closer investigation.
The argument that is being tenta-
lively prepared, however, runs along
the lines that the Monroe doctrine as
now in existence is the only sure way
of combating such peaceful agrees
sions" on the American continent.
Under international law, Senator
Borah of Idaho pointed out Japanese
have q right to buy and Mexico has
a right to sell lands in Lower Cali
fornia or anywhere else in Mexico.
Under the league of nations cove
nant, he added any complaint of the
United States would have to go to
the leagues executive council, or
whatever body was set Up to decide
disputes and without the special res
ervation of the Monroe doctrine there
would be absolutely nothing to pre-
vent the council deciding adversely
to US.

NO SALE WITHOUT U. S. o. X.

Los Angeles, Cal. April Am
nouncement by President Harry
Chandler of the California Mexican
Land and Cattle company, that his
companys 100000 acres of Lower Cali
fornia land will not be sold to Japa-
ncse interests without the approval of
the state department was looked upon
here today as somewhat clarifying the
situation caused by reports that the
land would be sold to Japan.
Chambers statement said his COM
panys position on the reported sale
he denied the sale had been actually
made-now is the same as in 1917,
when Japanese were negotiating to
lease a portion of the tract That po-
sitiOn was set out in a letter to the
state department saying:
U. S. CITIZENS FIRST.
While my company is anxious to Sc
cure reliable tenants, amply financed,
to help develop our property in Mex
leo, we are, first of all, American citi-
zens and don't wish to make any move
which could in any way prejudice a
question which always appears to be a
subject for agitation between the two
countries. We will not under any cir
of this kind to Japanese where coloni-
cation is probable until we are first
authoritatively informed that such an
arrangement will be entirely agreeable
to the government of our own coun-
try"
DENIES GRANT HOLDINGS.
Denial is made by Chandler that the
company held any grant or concession
as General Amado Aguire, Mexican
minister of the Interior is reported in
press dispatches to have said.
The reference by the Mexican Of
fetal to special concessions made in
connection with the sales of these
lands must refer to lands adjoining
ours which were secured by an Ameri-
can syndicate headed by J. p. Morgan
at about the same time that our lands
were purchased from the Mexican gov
eminent" the statement said.
Their titles We're secured through
concession which provided for special
colonization efforts"

W. D. 31a ton trucks stood the gaff without one bit of trouble and when I left France last December the truck tires looked good for another 5000 miles
 That is what former Capt. Thomas Shurtieff of Tacoma thinks of United States truck tires.
 T was in charge of a convoy of 200 trucks which made the trip back and forth from Bordeaux to Angers," continues. Chhrtfeff, who. was one of the first of the boys from the Pacific coast to go lover there." Shurtleff was with. Company E of the 52nd Ammunition train of the Coast ,Artil- lery Corps.
 We had to get that ammunition mighty quick to the big guns ham mering away up at the front and many times a truck was in continuous ser vice for 72 hours without the motor stopping, so you see the truck tires had 1 to make good for the colonel in charge would not use any make which hadn't proved it's worth.

Mechanical yit is simple strong and easy to handle. Three levers, within easy reach of the operator, are used; two to his right controlling the tilt and lifting of the drawbar and one in frcnt throwing the mower in and out of gear. In the first field test, using a six-foot sickle attached to an Avery 5-10 tractor, no adjustment was neces- sary, so thoroughly had the details been perfected by the designer Harry JcEes, of the&Pratt- Gilbert company's sales department
 f Already the attachment has found considerable favor among prominent local hay growers, who have wit nessed it in operation, cutting an acre of heavy alfalfa with ease in. 15 min- utes. Several orders have been placed with the firm by valley ranchers for attachments.
 Mir. Pratt, senior member of the firm, with years of experience with hay machinery, said in talking about the new invention, Tt is without doubt the most simple and practical attach ment of it's kind ever put in a field, having proved it's efficiency under try 1 ing working conditions. The fact that { this attachment can be so readily at- l tached and detached to most any make 1 of small tractor. makes it very desir 1 ale to thousands of farmers who can
 use their tractor for other work"
 The local firm has already received | flattering offers from eastern concerns l to manufacture the attachment and as
 soon as suitable arrangements are con-
 slmmated, they will be placed on the
 market as fast as possible in every hay
 growing section in the country.

Parish of Kilsyth Scotland, February
IS, 5SslA>s In February 1866 she was
married to Thomas Dennistoun and
they came to America with their young
family. landing in New York 4, 1872.
They came to Redwood County, from
st. Paul in 1884 and have since lived
on the old homestead in Paxton town
ship where their son A. M. Dennis
toun and his family, have lived with
them and cared for them since their
advanced age made it provident to
have some one with them.
Mrs. Dennistoun is survived by her
husband. Thomas Dennistoun ST., and

ed all her life to the duties of her
home and the rearing of her children
only laying down the active and ar

when her age and failing health made
it imperative. Much sympathy is felt
for the husband who is bereft of his

Gus illness was only a matter Of a few
days before her death. Her husband,

About two weeks ago Mrs. Park

W. Lindcman Home
Destroyed By Fire
FINE RESIDENCE BURNED TO
GROUND EARLY THURSDAY
MORNING.

The fine modern house of Mr.. and
Mrs. VIM. Lindeman of Rowena was
burned early last Thursday morning,
ths fire being discovered about four
O'clock. Mrs. Lindeman was first to be
awakened by the odor of smoke and
she aroused the family at once. Help
was summoned and the fire was held
in check for some little time, but a
rising wind made it impossible to
quench it and the building with many
of its contents, was completely des-
troyed.
The house was a few years built at
a cost of about 1000 and was one
of the most modern and up-to-datc
homes in Redwood County. It was
equipped with a. fighting system
furnace, running water and other con-
veniences not usual to village homes
and many of these comforts had been
added in addition to the cost. The
only insurance to cover this loss was
$4,000 on thb structure and $500 on
furnishings and equipment. The
clothing, personal effects, etc. were
not insured; fine piano, purchased
at cost of $3.50 was totally ruined
and that carried no insurance what
ever. Mr.. Lindeman states that the
net loss will be between three thou
sand and four thousand dollars. The
clothing and other personal effects OF
Miss Blanche Dresser who teaches in
the Rowena school and makes her
home with the Lindeman family were
also total loss.
The fire was started from spontan-
eous combustion in the coal bin, the
explosion moving the coal about con,
siderable and in such a way as tc
proYo this conclusively, in Mr.. Linde-
mans judgement. Reports that il
was started from either the lighting
plant or the furnace are without
foundation and are not born out by
the evidence. It is planned to rebuilc
the home as SOON as weather condi.
tons make building practicable. In
the meantime Mr.. and Mrs. Lindemar
and their family are living in the store
and camping out in temporary quar-
tiers as best they may.
