Mexico City, May 24.-Juan Sanchez
ACCOM-, who is in charge of the foreign
office, sent the following communion
tion to all foreign diplomats in Mexico
City:
with sorrow 1 inform you that Pres
ident Carranza was assassinated in the
village of Tlaxcalantongo. The assas-
sin, Rodolfo Herrera, belonged to q
small force of General Meriel, a fol-
lower of CarranZa. After consummat-
ing his crime Herrera fled into the
mountains with his followers.
Mexico City.-A dispatch received
from Juan Barragan, chief of staff of
President Carranza, says Carranza met
his death at the hands of Gen. Rodofo
Herrera's forces at Tlaxcalantongo.
The dispatch did not give the exact
date. The dispatch follows:
"Villa Juarez, State of Puebla, May %.
ITO General Aware Obregon:
referring to your telegram of this
date, Herrera Joined the column at
Patla, processing loyalty, arriving at
Tlaxcalantongo, Herrera offered hospi-
tally to Carranza, placing sentinels
who knew the terrain. At 4 o'clock in
the morning his men, abusing the con-
fidence imposed in them, surrounded
the shelter where CurianZa vas sleep
ing, firing their rifles furiously into the
hut. Everyone offered resistance, al
though with the natural decentralization
caused by the unexpected attack.
"Gen. Francisco Murguia fought va
liantly in the obscurity (semi-dark-
ness), repulsing the traitors, who sur
prised the defenders when they were
leaving their shelters to attack the
enemy.
1.-THE unexpectedness of the attack
enables us to clear our military honor.
The defense was general to such an
extent that the attackers were forced
to take sixty prisoners, among them
Mario Mendez, Pauline Fontes, Gil
Garias, General Heliodoro Perez, Colo
mel Che Gomez, General Viillela and
Carranza's military aide.
(Mendez formerly was director of
the national telegraph lines, Fontes
was former director of national rail-
ways, and Senior Garias was Carranza's
private secretary
sour conscience is clear. Our grief
for the death of the President il in
consolable. We are satisfied that we
did not abandon him for n moment.
''The few men wounded and dead is
explained by the tact that the attack
ers planned their crime. knowing the
place where the President, who had
placed his confidence in Herrera, was
sleeping. The loyalty and courage of
the Presidents followers were useless
against the treason of those crimi-
nails"
The message was signed by Barran-
pan and Marciano Gonzales. Federico
Monies, Francisco de H. Maria and
others.
The flags on the American embassy
and all the other embassies and Iega-
lions were placed at half-mast when
the news Of the assassination Of Pres
ident Carranza arrived.

BAD ROADS CAUSE
FARMS TO BE DESERTED

4 correspondent writes as follows
to the New York Times:
Reading the message of President
Wilson to Congress, | was interested
in his recommendations to the the en-
enlargement of farming. A farmer
myself for the last fourteen years
and we'll acquainted with conditions
pertaining to the above question pre-
vailing in my county (Sullivan),
wish to express my ideas on the sub
ject
1t is true that farmers do not pro-
duce as must as they can. Owning,
for example, 240 acres. / cultivate
only about %, while at least $50 acres
Of my land is cultivable. A neighbor
of mine owning $50 acres does not
cultivate his land at all. A very
small part of the cultivable land in
my district is titled, and the question
arises, why?
The answer to this question is bad
roads. All farms in my district are
scattered within some distance from
the railroad. Ny farm is four miles
from the railroad. The country road
| by which we have to travel there is
so bad that it is impossible for me to
get in due time all the materials
needed for the proper cultivation of
all my land. AS result | have to
be satisfied with tilling only 25 acres
out of the 240 own. And as a direct
result of this, most farmers in my
neighborhood are forced to sell out
their stock and leave their farms
There are ten farms along the road
leading to my house, and out of these
only two are inhabited by their own
ers. The other eight have been evac-
uated by their owners. M. Appel.

street, and put in up-to-date cross
ings? It has the powerfully doesn't
it do its duty?
We have been told in the last day
or two that we are mistaken-that the
road is only going to build into the
warehouse property from the south
If so, it has changed its mind since
the Star opened up on it. Only Tues
day morning, one of the railroad Offic-
ials and the contractor building the
warehouse told the Star that the
spur would leave the main line in
front of Mr.. Yonge's home, and that
the track would be built across Sec
ond street. They ought to know and
we believe they do know.
Mr.. Yonge says that if track is
built across the front of his yard he
will blow it up with dynamite, and if
he does the Star will go on his bond.
Any citizen who will not help another
citizen maintain his rights has no
right to expect to have his own rights
respected.

WHERE OUR MONEY is WASTED


time engaged in bitter war to find
out where the money derived from the
various sources, going, to the federal
government, is spent, and the further
we pursue the subject, the more
clearly it is shown that millions of
dollars, which ought to go to pay the
war debt, is being thrown away to
give employment to a chosen few.
If there is anything under the sun
that needs remedying, it is this, and
the way to remedy it is to dispose of
rs per cent of the employees in two
departments, one of which is almost
useless all the way through, that is
the food and drugs department; at
least so per cent of the treasury de-
partment could be dispensed with and
still have too many.
One of the latest evidences of this
fact that has come to our knowledge
is charge made against a cucumber
grower, that he has violated the food
and drugs act. because he did not
label the contents of the crate on it.
has ever done this. and it would be
useless burden ultimately to be paid
for by the consumer. The crate used
j sthe standard crate, and every one
knows the contents of it. The sides
are open for ventilation so every one
can see the contents; yet the depart
ment, with its many employees, has
discovered this enormous violation of
law by the cucumber shippers, and
now it becomes necessary, according
to the advice of those learned en-
ployees go per cent of whom never
saw cucumber growing, or, in fact,
one that wasn't already peeled, to
label the crate for fear, some one
might not know what they were. In
other words, being ignorant them
selves, they attribute this same ig-
norance to the balance of the world.
If their construction of the law is
correct, the shipper of wheat must
count every grain that goes into the
sack. 1t cannot be estimated because
Their might be mistake of a few
grains, which would subject them to
punishment. Al sack of potatoes must
be counted and labeled to contain so
many potatoes of a certain variety.
Every sack of peas and beans must
be counted and labeled so that ignor-
ant employees in the food and drugs
department can tell what is in the
sack. May God help the man who
sells turnip seed!
To make a shore story of tilt is no
wonder the people are becoming dis
gusted when the money we pay into
the treasury is being wasted on such
foolishness as this; and unless some
thing is done to protect US, we will
become bankrupt with such idle ex-
penditures of inefficient officers.
In the old time, Caesar divided Gaul
into three parts. The democratic
party, seeking to emulate his ex-
ample, has divided our people into
three parts:
1. Tax payers.
2. Tax gatherers.
3. (The great majority tax eat
ers.
So if there is anything that is need
ed to help pay the war debt, it is to
discharge enough employees of the
different departments, so that the
balance of them will have something
to do. and apply these millions of dol
lars so foolishiy wasted and consumed
by the tax eating class to its proper
place. Tax Payer.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Through the courtesy of the editor
week to enable the principal and
teachers of the Ocala schools to say
a word to the patrons and friends

it's plans. By this means we hope to
enlist in an ever increasing degree the
interest of all patrons and support
ers in the movement to make the

REVIVALIST OFTEN
SETTLES DISPUTES
Appeal to Religious Feeling Is
Often Effective Over Cal
acknowledgements

CLEVELAND, Ohio, March 81
The appeal Of the revivalist TO the
religious feeling is more effective in
settling labor disputes than is calcu-
lated argument, according to J. j.
Walsh, federal labor conciliator OF
indianapolis. For two years he has
been bringing strikers and employers
together by sermons. And yet he
says he never heard an evangelist.
Sometimes it's little difficult at
the start to break through the hard
crusts Of manufacturers and labor
men, Mr.. Walsh declared But
down in almost every mans heart is a
religious feeling, and once he is con-
vinced of ones sincerity he does not
wait long to follow.
"A settlement based on genuine
righteousness and repentance is much
more sound than an adjustment Of de-
tails, leaving bitter feeling still rank
ling on one side or the other."
Mr.. Walsh just settled packers
strike here involving about 1900 men.
A year ago he settled similar strike
in St Joseph. Mo, where 1000 men
were out. by telling both sides to re-
pent and clasp hands.
For seven years prior to his APP
pointment as conciliator in 1918 Mr..
Walsh was state factory Inspector in
Indiana. Before then he was a ma

The advantage of the airship over

it can stop its engines and hover over
