u, S. CHARGES MEXICO
WITH covert ACT"
Carranza Is Accused of Plot to
Confiscate Oil Properties Own
ed by American Citizens.

WaShingtOn.-The Mexican govern
ment has committed an overt act of
confscation in preventing work by
American oil well drillers on lands
owned by American individuals or com
panieS by sending soldiers into the
fields and driving away the workmeu,
state department officials said.
Complaint was made to the Mexican
government on April of this year. X
was learned, against the refusal of the
government to grant permits TO the oil
companies TO drill No answer was re-
ceived until after the Juarez incident,
il was said. and then President Car
rama announced no permits proviS-
ional or other, would be granted until
the companies had complied with the
Mexican law Compliance with the
law, it was said by state department
officials, would constitute recognition
by the companies that the Mexican
government owned the oil funds
Urgent representations have been
made to the Mexican government for
the punishment of those responsible
for the murder of John W. Carroll, an
American citizen, the maltreatment OF
his wife and the attempted murder of
his son at their ranch near Colonia,
twenty-seven miles north of Tampico,
the state department announced In
Structions have been sent TO both the
American embassy ut Mexico City and
the American consulate at Tampico TO
urge immediate capture and punish
ment of the perpetrators of the out
rage and protection for other Ameri-
cans in the district.

gold which he was taking 10 pay off
employees. and on June % the camp

The order to the military forces to
prevent drilling by force of arms was
issued by President Carranza last May

SMALL-TOP MILK PAIL BEST
Prevents Entrance of Dust or Dirt and
Greatly Reduces Number of
Bacteria in Milk.

In modern dairies where clean milk
is produced the small-top milk pail
is a necessity, as it presents only a
small opening into which dust and dirt
may fall from the air or from the
cows body. 1t has been found by
experience that the use of pail OF
this kind greatly reduces the number
of bacteria in milk from diaries where
1t is used Many types of milk pals
are for sale, but any timer by the ad-
dition of q hood can convert an ordi-
nary pail into a small-top pail.

GROWS GARDEN TO BUY CALF
Washington Boy Raises Prize-Winning
Vegetables and Buys Jersey
Heifer With Money.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Alfred Olson of Klickitat county,
Wash, is a member of one of the calf
clubs organized by the United States
department of agriculture and the state
college of Washington. With his pure
bred Jersey heifer calf, Areas Babe,
he won the state championship prize
last year: In 1917 Alfred became in
terested in the calf club work. but
purebred calf costs money, and he did
not have funds to buy that requisite
for membership. To enroll in gar
den club as the first step toward en-
tering the calf club may seem unusual,
but that was what the Klickitat county
boy did, and he reached the desired
goal. The weeds in his club garden
kept him busy all summer, but he gave
It such faithful care that his vege-
tables were prize winners. He exhibit
ed collection of them at the state
fair and took $50 worth of prizes.
Meanwhile he had been writing to
Jersey breeders for prices and descrip-
tons of calves. He decided on Jer~
seys because that was the breed his
father had. With $40 of his garden
prize money he bought a month-old
Jelaey heifer calf in October. He kept
her In the barn all winter, but in the
spring she was turned out on the
range. When brought in in September
to be made ready for exhibition pur-
poses she was larger at eleven months
than his fathers grade calves of fif-
teen months. At the state fair AL
fred's Jersey was awarded the state
championship prize in the boys and
girls club class and was valued at
$40

statement before 1t was given out, but
neither Of them signed II. The docu-
ment called attention to the fact that
the treaty of London gave the Dalma-
tian coast and cities to Italy because
she needed protection against Austro-
Hungary. but that the Austro-H Hungar-
Ian empire no longer exists and 20 the
necessity has passed; that Italy gave
her adherence to the IA points. and
that to give Flume to her would not
be In accordance with them. The
Italians replied that Wilson already
had compromised some OF those points,
notably In the case OF the freedom Of
tn seas and the Saar basin, and that
EfsfJ was being Disseminated against.
This really was the crux Of the dis
pute.

the disposition of Fiume he is backed
