Buena Vista on February % of the
next year. In March of 1S47 General
Scott captured Vera Cruz and march
ed to the City Of Mexico, winning the
battles of Cerro Gordo April Is, Con-
treras August 10, Churubusco August
20, Molino del Rey September s, and
Chapultepec September Is. The next
day he stormed the Belem gate and
entered the Mexican capital.
When Vera Cruz fell President Polk
decided that it would be well to have
along with SCOTS army a commission
er authorized to sign peace with the
Mexicans as soon as they had been
sufficiently defeated to be amenable
to terms. N. P. Trist, chief clerk Of
the state department, was chosen and
having been given the rough draft of
a treaty reached Vera Cruz on May 6
of 1S47 and Joined Scott Mr.. Trist
got no opportunity to exercise his dip
lomatic powers until after the battle
Of Churubusco. The morning after
that battle Scott was met by commits
sioners from the Mexican president,
Santa Anna, with proposals for an
armistice. This was agreed to and
Mr.. Trist wrote to the Mexican minis
ter of foreign relations that he was
ready to enter into negotiations.
A Treaty Without Authority.
Five Mexican commissioners met
Mr.. Trist at village lying between
the American and Mexican lines which
bore the impossible Aztec name of
Atzcopozalen. Mr.. Trist wanted Low
er California but was willing to con-
cede that point, but he would not give
up the demand for New Mexico (then
comprising what is now New Mexico
and AriZona) south of the thirty-sev-
enth degree Nor would the Mexlcans
give it up. The negotiations came to
nothing, the armistice was ended and
Scott resumed his advance. Counter
propositions which the Mexican COM
missioners had made were referred
by Mr.. Trist to Washington, but he
was generally thought to have been
too wavering at the village with the
unpronouneeable name-and without
waiting to hear from him officially,
President Polk revoked his authority
and sent him a letter of recall.
After the capture of the City of
Mexico the Mexicans saw that further
struggle was hopeless. California had
meantime been occupied by Commo-
dores Sloat and Stockton and the land
forces of Generals Fremont and
Kearny. Santa Anna resigned the
presidency. which passed to General
Anaya, who summoned congress at
Queretaro One Of his first acts was
to appoint commission to proceed
to the City of Mexico and confer with
Mr.. Trist. Mr.. Trist had already re-
ceived his letter of recall. The Mex
lean commissioners, with singular rea-
soning suggested that they had "not
been officially notified Of the American
ENJOYS recalP' and Mr.. Trist agreed
to treat Mr.. Trist met the Mexican
commissioners at Guadaloupe-Hidalg
a town about three miles north of the
City of Mexico, where the treaty was
signed on February 2, 1848.

SUCCESS OF RURAL ROUTES
Important Factors Which Must Be
Given Consideration in Motor
Transportation.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.l
There are four important factors
which must be given consideration by
the beginner in the field Of rural mo-
tor transportation. These four fac
tors are: () The volume Of farm
products produced along the contem-
plated route; (2) the volume Of mis-
cellaneous hauling which could be Sc
cured to supplement regular loads; (3)
competition from other carriers which
would be encountered; (4) the charac-
ter of the highways over which the
trucks must run. 1t may safely be
said that the features mentioned
above will ultimately determine the
success or failure of any rural route

APPLYING ANTI-SND CHAINS
Work Must Be Performed So as to
Avoid CIinking of Loose Chains
Against Fender.

Anti-skid chains must not be applied
tightly to the tires, as so many car
owners do to eliminate the clinking of
the loose chain against the fender.
Tight chains cut the tire badly. Fur
ther, the chains should be inspected at
frequent intervals and any cross links

One thing the Red Cross Depart.
ment of Civilian Relief is doing these
days is to see that every crippled sol,
dier or sailor "gets back into the
game" just as close to his original
self as science can make him-that
is the idea of the Government.
The Government provides for the
fitting, replacing, and keeping in re-
pair Of every artificial limb or appli-
ance required by its crippled fighters
and the Red Cross is helping to see
that all who need these things apply
to Uncle Sam for them.
The excellence of these artificial
adjuncts to the human body is re-
markable. Miss Mary Ann Abel of

NURSERY GROWN TREES BEST
Excellent Reasons Why Wild Varieties
Are Not Suitable for Growth
in Cities.

Digging wild trees for home plant
ing is not successful as a rule. In the
first place wild trees are likely to
grow where they are crowded and are
drawn out taller than they should be,
Others have not had an opportunity
to develop evenly and may be well
shaped on one side only. Then the
roots have been left to spread outNat
long distances and the trees cannot
be removed without breaking off i'm
portant roots, so the trees will be a
long while in recovering and a large
percentage will die.
Nursery-grown trees are grown
where they develop evenly on all sides,
and are frequently transplanted and
root pruned, which keeps them from
growing too splndling and the roots
are thus confined to a small area, so
the trees can easily and safely be
transplanted.
In making home paintings it is a
grave error to attempt to use wild
trees.
If many trees are to be used it Is
advisable to visit a nursery and per-
sonally select each specimen.

REASONS FOR OWNING HOME
Fourteen Points That VIII Not Cause
So Much Controversy as An
other Famous Set.

/. In the long run the home owner
Is more prosperous than the renter.
.. The home owner is permanent;
the shifter does little good to his city
Or himself
8. The home owner is progressive;
The renter is not interested In pro
yressiye movements.
4. Habits Of thrift learned in home
buying add to the wealth of the indl-
vidual and the city.
8. The home owner beauties the
,ity; the renter does not.
G. Other things being equal, the
home owner is a better worker than
the renter and keeps his position after
The renter is discharged.
7. The owner Of a home has an ever
present protection against poverty and
will not become a charge upon the
community.
s. No city of renters can ever sue
reed, No nation of tenants ever be-
came great
g. A city that Is worth living in IS
worth owning a home in.
10 Other things being equal, the
home owner is a better citizen, bet
ter soldier, a better American than
the renter.
II. The prosperity Of any city de-
ponds upon the prosperity Of its indl-
7idual citizens.
70. The more beautiful our city is
the more people will be attracted to it.
13. Home owners add to the buying
power Of municipality. Tenants
ietract.
a. Self-respect and independence
are the greatest assets in life, Health
and happiness are the children Of
success.
