AYLESBURY. Saskatchewan. March
12.-George ROunksl, as a pioneer, Is
running true to form. He Is the first
man in Saskatchewan to buy an Sir-
plane. He has just placed an order
for a $1,000 two-seat flying Eachin,
KoUnkel is a pioneer farmer. He
came in when the country was wild
prairie. When strangers come to town
he is frequently pointed out.
There is one OF our oldest pion-
eers." says a citizen
The stranger expects to see q Daniel

snowy beard. in cOOn-skin cap. fringed
buckskins and moccasins. Before his
startled eyes. Kounkel steps from a
cleaning limousine. fashionably
tailored. Immediately grOOmed DiOn-

kounkel 10 young. but so Is the
country. Ten years ago this was the
frontier. He has seen many an immi-
grant trek In behind an Ox-team aud
settle in a sod dug-out and build a
fine home out OF wheat in a few years.
He has seen the prairie wilderness
grow into one of the richest farming
regions on the continent
He broke his first land with an OK
team himself He evolved out OF the
OK team age into the era OF horses
Then he took another step along the
road OF progress and imported the
first automobile His neighbors
stared al it as at some weird monster
from another world Now KounkeI
cultiVates his land with giant trac-
tors, and there IL scarcely a farmer in
all the country WhO does NOT own An
automobile KOunkel owns three
But If the farmers have changed
the country. the cooperative move
ment has changed the farmers. They
are no longer mere tilIers OF the soil
They market their own grain live
stock. appraise and sell land to set
lers. deal in coal. lumber. and farm
supplies, all on q cooperative basis.
They are big business men now with
their fingers on the pulse OF foreign
markets and-this is confidential
they seem about TO enter politics and
rule the nation.
kOUnkel, as a businessman farmer,
has to take many long trips-to Re
gina Saskatoon. Winnipeg Autom"-
biles and railways used to be all right
for that sort OF thing. but they are
slow and old ashioned So in an air
plane. KOunkel viii soon be making
his business trip through blue leagues
Of air to distant cities and back again
in time for dinner
Ten years between a sod dug-out
and q mansion, an ox-team and an air
plane-that's farm history IN western
Canada This is the new era. and the
farmer needs wings TO keep up with
the times.

NO ANSWER YET TO NOTE
Mexican Officials Circulate Reports
That Government Is Justified
in Holding Jenkins

Washington, Nov. 24-There was no
word today from the Mexican govern
ment in answer to the sharp note from
the state department demanding the
immediate release of William o. Jen-
kins, American consular agent at
Puebla
All day officials waited for a note
they thought might be handed them by
the Mexican embassy here, in view of
reports Sunday night that a long dis
patch relating to the jenkins case had
reached the embassy fIcm Mexico
city.
But there was no reply and not even
an intimation that the Mexican gov
ernment had prepared its answer So
far as the state department was able
TO learn, jenkins still was sick and in
the Mexican penitentiary with rebel
bandits who kidnapped him and forced
him to Pay ransom of approximately
$150,OO0.
The department was in constant
communication today with the Amer
lean embassy in Mexico City and was
advised that the cabinet had discus
sed the American note and called
Governor Cabrera into conference re-
garding it. Governor Cabrera is a
brother of Luis Cabrera, secretary of
treasury in Carranzas S cabinet and
kncwn to be one of the most bitter
antiAmericans in Mexico.
President Carranza has found the
situation to be so acute that he has
returned to Mexico City from Quere-
taro to take part in the consideration
Of the jenkins case, report today
said.
Mexican officials have caused re-
ports TO be circulated that the gov
ernment was amply justified in hold
ing Jenkins. No report has been made
to this government or its representa-"
tives, however, as to the nature of the
evidence on which the American con
sular agent was locked up a second
time.

interior has been improved. The
