Ten-Mile Dry Zone.

Laredo, Texas.-A bin to create a
ten-mile dry zone along the interna-
tional border will be introduced In the
Mexican Congress, according to Mexi-
can officials. The proposed law would
become effective month before the
United States goes dry. The zone
would extend from the Pacific coast
to the mouth Of the Rio Grande. To
offset the revenue losses to Mexican
border merchants incurred by the Law,
another bill will be introduced for q
ten-mile free zone.

Build Nests Like an Oven.

Do you know how the oven bird got
Its name? Well. 1t was because its
nest built among the leaves or pine
needles on the ground Is arched to give
an ovenlike appearance, says the
American Forestry association, Wash
ington, which Is encouraging bird con-
servation through bird-house building
contests among school children and Is
conducting a national campaign. You
do not see the oven bird sitting on the
topmost twig Of a tree like some other
members Of the feathery tribe. but
he sticks close to the ground, mount.
Ing to the lower branches of tree
only to sing or to scold an intruder.
The song Of the oven bird somewhat
resembles the word "teacher."

Paris, May 20.-Marshal Foch laid
before the council of four his plans
for military operations that are to be
put into effect in case the German
plenipotentiaries decline TO sign the
peace treaty.
After the conference between Mar
xhal Foch and the council Of four,
President Wilson had talk with Gen.
eral Pershing. II became known later
that General Pershing's visit to Lon
don may be postponed In order TO
await developments.
A reply by the allied and associated
governments to the German note pro-
testing against the economic terms Of
the peace treaty as being calculated
to cause the industrial ruin OF Ger
many has been delivered to the Ger
man peace plenipotentiaries.
On the contrary, the report points
out that in the reconstruction of the
worlds affairs Germany will have her
part in the progressive development,
but also will share with the rest of
the world In the economic losses
and disadvantages inevitably resulting
from the war.
The reply declares that the German
note fails to take into consideration
the fact that the disarmament of Ger
many and the end of miitarism will
relieve the German people Of an i'm
mense burden of taxation, and return
to the ranks of useful production mil
lions of men formerly In the army,
who have been entirely withdrawn
from industrial or agricultural ac-
tivity.
In reply to the German complaint
that the loss of the German merchant
marine will throw out Of work thous-
ands Of German merchant seamen, the
allies answer that the destruction OF
merchant ships, chiefly by German
submarines, has had the unfortunate
effect Of limiting the opportunities for
work of seamen throughout the world,
the allied powers being the greatest
sufferers
The reply on the economic obiec-
ti0ns is regarded as one of the best
documents In the exchange of notes.
Dispositions that have been made be-
fore the council Of four by Edwin
Samuel Montagu, British secretary for
India. the maharajah of Bikanir and
Mnsselman delegates from India have,
according to the Temps, produced an
impression which may affect the set
tlement Of the Turkish problem in
some particulars. The Musselmans
laid emphasis upon the fact that they
had taken Il preponderant part In the
operations against Turkey, Germany's
ally, and recalled an engagement that
had been made that advantage was not
to be taken Of a victory to humiliate
Islam in the person Of the sultan.
The week Of mourning In Germany
decreed by the government because Of
the terms OF the peace treaty appears
to have met with little success. Re
ports are that nearly all the music
halls remained opened and that in
some places the people danced all
night. One bit Of pungcnt comment
comes from the Volksblatt of Halle,
which says
1T is not now, but on Aug. /, 1914,
that general mourning should have
been ordered in Germany"

FARMER 62, WIDOW
 60 TO BE MARRIED
Well Known Southington Couple Sc. cure Marriage License at Town
 Clerks Office.

Though it is often said that in the spring time Youths fancy turns to love-" Cupid has no regard for ages according to a marriage license issued by Town Clerk Alfred N. Thompson Saturday. Casper Rohe, who pro- fesses to be 62 years of age, and Mary Katherine Atwater, who has seen 60 winters and summers, obtained a li- cense.
 Mr. Rohe is a we'll known Southing- ton farmer and applied for a marriage license on May 1. Owing to the law which requires that a seven days no- tice be given by persons not residing in the city where they apply for a li- cense, MT. Rohe and his bride had to postpone their matrim onial intentions until Saturday.
 This is Mrs. Atwater's second ven- ture in marriage. She is a widow and gives her occupation as a weaver.

RED CROSS NOTES

Enrolled Red Cross Nurses are de-
sired for instructors in the Red Cross
Course in Home Hygiene and Care of
the sick.
The Division Office is preparing to
organize and conduct classes over the
whole territory. The communities where
there are no resident nurses will be tax
en- care of by Visiting Instructors.
Nurses who are willing to act in this
capacity will find a large field open to
them, a very interesting and worth while
piece of work to be accomplished and
will thus be able to extend their Red
Cross activities.
Any nurse interested in the work will
kindly communicate with the Head
quarters of the Division, Frisco Build
ing, Saint Louis, Missouri, directing
communication to Dept. of Nursing.

The New Fair Circuit.

Tuesday of this week, delegation
of the Fair associations from Ellsworth
to WaKeeney, met in Hays, to perfect
a racing circuit. The members of the
respective associations present were:
G. A. Kyner, John McCittrick and Geo.
Levitt of Wilson; W. Clyde Wolfe of
Ellsworth; Frank Missimer, W. E.
Smith, j. W. Blair and V.K. Hoover
of Russell; and S. J. Straw and M. W.
Mason of WaKeeney.
They arranged the following racing
program for the coming fairs during
September to first week in Oct. There
will be two $500 purses given by each
association. One a 217 trot and the
other 2.2O pace. The entrance fee
for the $500 purses will be $50, which
will insure that only horses with fast
records will be entered.
1t has been suggested that commit
tees be appointed to interview stock
breeders and request them to bring
their best stock to the fairs, starting
at Ellsworth and following up and ex-
hibiting at all the fairs in the circuit
It is also suggested that there should
be better display of hogs and poultry
and that the fair associations prepare
better accommodations for hogs and
poultry, especially the Golden Belt
association.
