IRREC0NC|L ABLE GERMAN COLONY
 NOW IN MEXICO
Recently Had Printed Their
 "Catechism of Hate."

Mexico City, Aug. 1.---(Correspond- ence of The Associated Press. )---A "Catechism of Hate" was printed in the Deutsche Zeitung Won Mexico and revenge was threatened In an article accompanying 1t on the day when the delegates of the German republic signed the peace treaty at Versailles
 The paper. printed in German, is gen orally believed to voice the opinions
 of the Pan-German, irreconcilable e1e-
 ment of the German colony in Mexico
 Transactions in part of the article fol- low:
 "The day of revenge of the German people is not far off We shall do
 good to practice patience until the day of revenge has arrived. Revenge must be coldly consummated. In or der to prepare ourselves quietly for it, we need a 'Catechism of Hatred',' The twelve coTnmandments'' of the catechism summarize in brief form
 many of the protests which have been heard from German sources since the terms of the Peace Treaty became known. They deny that Germany wanted war, assert that Germany was right In invading Belgium, attack England for the blockade of Ger many, aver that Germany's armies were never defeated and declare that 1 German honor is insulted by making Germans sign a!dIni ssion of their guilt.
 | In conclusion, the article says: These twelve commandments will
 suffice to prepare us mentally for
 The Day on which the hour of re- venge will strike
 Asked if the sentiments expressed
 in the Deutsche Zeitung's article were those of the entire German colony in l Mexico, one of the leaders of the German Socialist party in Mexico de 1 clared that they were held only by the folder and wealthier colonists who dominated both the paper and the colony but that a large part of the
 colony were willing to accept the yer
 dict of the war and give their support l 10 the new German government and
 to reconstruction policies.

MUST KNOW SOIL QUALITIES TO GET
 BEST YIELDS
Is the Growth Medium of
 Water and Food For Crop.

Successful farming depends to a large degree upon the proper soil management. To put the farm in a condition to produce profitable yields demands on the part of the opera tor a clear understanding of the pro- pertles Of the soil. The soil is a med ium for plant growth, and as such furnishes water and plant food for the growing crop. The moisture hold ing capacity is alI-imporant since water IS the means by which the plant Is fed. The elements of plant foods become dissolved in the soil water which in turn Is taken up by the plant. Likewise, soil air is essential to the development of the plant as the roots must have oxygen. If the soil becomes compact or saturated with water the air is forced out, shutting off the supply so necessary to the life of the plant. This is easily ob- served in the growing of the corn. If the soil is a stiff clay, easily packed by heavy rains the surface will be- come. upon drying, so compact that rain is not admitted freely to the roots of the plant, and serious results will follow if the condition is not re- Heved by thorough cultivation. If on the other hand, the corn is planted on a similar soil well supplied win or ganic matter in the form of manure or sod the ground does not pack or run together so easily and there is less danger of checking the growth of the plants. Every farmer knows the value of organic matter in putting his soil in a state of good t1lth. By tiIth is meant the ease of working and the readiness with which the soil is reduced to a fine mellow con- ditiOn- Organic matter SuDDlied by stubble, sodS, and manure, tends to make clay soils more friable, more retentive of moisture and more fer tile. To secure this effect the organic matter must be more or less decom- posed in the soil.
 Lime is another agent that aids in correcting the physical condition of the soil. Clay soils become more fri able, more easily worked, and are in a better condition to admit air and moisture if they have been well lined The eitcfmfefil
 lined. The effect of lime and organic matter on a sandy soil is the reverse, as it tends to hold together the sand particles making the soil more com pact, which is desirable in this class of soils Both organic matter and lime are necessary to bring about the best physical condition of the soil. From a chemical standpoint the de- composing organic matter forms week acids which act upon the mineral constituents of the soil releasing the elements of plant food. When these acids become abundant the soil be- comes "sour" and lime is needed to counteract the acidity. Clover will is necessary that lime be applied in not thrive on an acid soil hence, 1t order to promote the growth of the most valuable plant for scil improve ment. Lime assists also in reducing the organic matter to condition that is of service to the growing plant

DELEGATES HAD
 TO SHOW CLEARLY REPENTANT SPIRIT
International Trades Union Congress Takes
 Stand.

Amsterdam. July 29-(By Asso- ciated Press s)-The work of the In ternational Trades Union Congress to- day was hindered by a protracted dis cussfon in committee of the old inter national organization over the Ger man declaration of the stand of Ger man trades unionists during the war, The Germans maintained an unre- pentant attitude until Samuel Comp CTS, president of the American Fed
 eratfon of Labor, told them plainly
 that If 1t were continued it would be impossible for workers of other coun-
 tries to retain relations with them in
 the future. The Germans thereuron
 somewhat relaxed.
 The position of the various nations in the voting places the British and Americans in an unfair situation.
 They represent together more than
 S,O0o,O00 workers among the 17.000,-
 900 represented at the Congress, but
 have only nine votes of the total of
 27 which may be cast on motions. The committee, on its return, re- ported as follows:
 That the statement o f Herr Sassenbach ((German socialist) be incorporated in full; that the regrets expressed therein be registered; that the German delegation confirm frankly and openly the spirit of Sas- senbach's declaration; that if the avowal be frank, open and eatisfac- | tory, the conference will proceed to 1 the order of the day; that if unsatis- | factory, freedom of action be re- l served"
 l Against all expectations, the con | ference adopted the report without debate, after Sassenbach in a few | words confirmed the German declar- 1 ation. Sassenbach, who was a mem Der of the committee, refrained from | voting. The other members includ- | ed W. A. Appleton of England, sam | uel Gompers of America, and Leor Jouhaux of France.

 Another testimonial was presented by the same town, in the year follow ing, the object of public admiration and bounty in this instance being no less a parsonage than the Earl of Shrewsbury. Of course the present, intended to convey to the -lordship the sense entertained by the burgesses of his high worth and character, must be of a more we:ghty descrip- tion than that bestowed on the re- corder. Accordingly, 1t was order ed that "a veal, mutton, a lamb, a dozen chickens, two dozen of rab- bits, two dozen pigeons, and four capons, should be presented to his lOrGship.'

when the housewife complains Of
the high cost Of living" she said,
does she realize that perhaps the
high cost Of living may &c partly her
own fault or does she consider that
her problem is really the cost Of high
living and not the other way around
Let her answer these questions.
Does she believe tha her family must
have expensive meat every day in the
year in order to be well nourished? :?
If she does, the sooner she is disilu-
stoned the better for her pocket book
Does she know that green vegetables
and cereals or such foods as beans
or spaghetti are excellent substi-
tutes for meat and that a meal com
posed of these products is much less
expensive?

who would not be glad to learn how
to reduce the high cost of living.
THE Red Cross is anxious to teach
such as these to solve their own par

organized all over the country in die

women and girls how to cook and

they can go about attaining that con
