COMING
 IN FROM CHINA

Marshall, Tex, December 1.-Peanuts are being imported from China by Marshall oil mill owing to the made uuacq of the Texas crop to supply the demand for peanut oils. Several con signments already have been received from Shanghai, the nuts having been grown in Shantung.
 The foreign peanut is no better than the native product. according to local oil men, but they come already shelled and therefore are most easily and less expen- sive to, handle. The Chinese nuts are about the size of the ordinary Spanish variety.

Novel Way of Conducting Strike.

novel method of conducting a strike
has been evolved in Readsboro, where 50
employees of the National Metal Edge
Box company, who quit work Monday
morning, have each posted the sum of
$40 with a stake holder" with the un-
derstanding that should any man return
to work his money will be forfeited and
viii revert to fund which win be d.
vided between those remaining out on
strike. In deciding upon their forfeit
posting scheme, the strikers believe they
have found an efficient way to prevent
disruption Of their ranks,
About so worllmen are employed at
the Metal Edge Box company's factory
in Readsboro and the 50 who are out on
strike quit work following presenta
tion of demand for Is per cent in
crease over their wage of S315 for a
l0-hour day.

NEEDED A POLICY.

Representative LaGuardia has of fered resolution asking the state department to submit to the house all communications which have pass ed between the American and Mexi- can governments since January, 1915, as well as communications pertaining to Mexican affairs which have passed between the depart ment and officers of the army and navy. There is growing restlessness in this country over the trend of matters in Mexico. This resolution is likely to find much support.
 As long as the United States wa>

engaged in the late war against Germany, remarks coast exchange, there was a somewhat general in clnation to look with indifference toward Mexico'S offenses. Of course, the border was kept guarded and representations made occasionally that the turbulent republic must ob- serve the rights of foreign citizens and foreign property holdings. But, by and large, Mexico was allowed to take her own course, and the course has at times been devious.
 Now that Germany has been de- feated and the treaty signed Am ericans have more leisure to attend to Mexico. Other nations look to the United States to maintain q condition of reasonable peace and order in this quarter. Not only has Mexico been careless of the rights of foreign people and of property owned by non-Mexicans, but the Carranza government has been fall ing behind in interest payments on it's debts owed abroad. Many Mexi- can bonds are held in France and Great Britain, and the people of those countries are naturally un- easy over the safety of their hold ings.
 Americas mandatory over Mexico is informal, but none the less real. Being self-assumed, it involves an obligation of peculiarly binding character. America would not allow another nation to adopt policy of compulson against Mexico. If any compulsion is necessary, America will herself see that it is applied 1 The American government cannot long delay the formulation and an
 nouncement of definite policy to-
 ward Mexico. Matters cannot be
 allowed to drift American good faith as we'll as American safety
 are involved in the decision.

 ENGLISH WELLS

LONDON.-Not only coal oil, but refined kerosene which may be burned in lamps, is flowing from the mysterious oil wells at Ramsey, near Peterborough.
 The oil was first discovered near ly two years ago, rising to the top of water wells in that town. After a thousand gallons or so had been collected, the flow diminished, but two or three gallons were gathered from the top of the water each day until lately.
 On July 1, two of the wells showed largely increased yield, which has continued As the oil was refined it was thought at first that it had leaked from some tank age station, but this has been dis proved by geologists, and the theory is accepted that by some freak of nature the oil was purified in the strata and then forced to the sur face through the only openings available
 The vicinity of the find has not been drilled by the prospectors, who are now testing what are believed to be important oil fields in other parts of the kingdom.
