Another winter egg-laying contest,
along the same general lines as those
conducted in the last two years, under
the supervision of the University of
Maine agricultural extension service,
is being arranged for Like its pre-
decessors, it will begin Nov. l, and
continue six months, the birds being
kept on the farms Of their owners,
occasional inspections of pens and
records being made by the county
agents and the extension poul-
try specialist. Instead of giving the
contestants individual choice as to
the number OF birds to enter, uni
form number, 25, has been adopted
for each pen. This change in regn-
lation was made after securing, by
circular letter, the concensus or OPP
inion Of the previous contestants ana
of the county agents and Farm Bn-
reau executive committee members
IT is believed that if all have the same
number of birds entered, the average
results will be more easily and ac-
curatelv determined, In all other re-
snecte the regulations this year Will
bn tho same as in previous years,
only standard bred birds being enter

is to show by proper selection, nous

Legislation proposed and under consideration at
the conference mentioned included new law reguat
ing institutions of credit; moratorium covering
some classes of Indebtedness and new federal bank
of issue, plans for institution of which are under
consideration by the federal administration
Details Of the work of the conference given in the
publication mentioned were very scanty, but it is
gathered that President de la Huerta from each
banking institution represented in the conference of
September q, submission of plan for re-
sumption of business which has been suspended by
all Of them through period of several years. the
president holding that time for such resumption has
arrived and that it should be accomplished at the
earliest moment possible.
The closing paragraph of the account stated that
the bankers from the executive chamber with express
sons of satisfaction at the tenor of the conference
and declarations that they hoped for definite and
beneficial results.
The undertaking before the government of Mexico
and its fnanciers is most colossal but with the
derful and unsurpassed resources of the country
turning confidence of foreign capital and the
desire of the people for peace and chances for work.
it will be matter of ease.

IRONING OUT MEXICO'S FINANCES

Sunday morning ''The Oasis" presented news
translated from Mexico City newspaper with rela-
ton to conference between committee OF bankers
and General Salvador Alvarado, secretary OF the
treasury in the cabinet of Provisional President de la
Huerta, with which we we're obliged to content the
reader with scanty MENTION on account OF pressure
of news upon the limited space avaiible
The conference was one of the most important that
has taken place since the change in the Mexican gov
ernment brought about by the disposition of Carran-
"a and elevation of Provisional President De la
Huerta. The committee visiting the president was
appointed by conference of bankers held in the fed
eral capital September 27. 1t was headed by Mr.. L.
Brauer of the Banco de Sonora, with whom were as
sociated Mr.. Juan Cree of the Banco de Mnero of
Chihuahua, and the managers of banks in the states
of Nuevo Leon and Guanajuato.
Subjects considered were legislative proposed for
adoption by the federal congress of Mexico relative
to commercial and governmental finances, which
have cen seriously disarranged by the years of re-
VOLT revolution and change which have followed so
swiftly through the past decade, now ended happily
by peace throughout the country and approaching
ascension to the executive chair of the republic of
popular and very able citizen chosen with practically
unanimous approval of his fellow Mexicans in fair
and untrammeed election

"eBEATEN HIS SPEAR INTO A PLOWSHARE. -

An account appearing on the first page of Francis
co Villas operations at Canutlo, Chihuahua, where
he is restoring to its former productveness one Of
the great haciendas of Mexico, shows that the for
mer revolutionary chieftain has followed the old
scrptural proposition to 'beat the spear into plow
shares and the sword into pruning hooks"
The redoubtable revolutionst has undertaken a
great enterprise, and is carrying it out on grand
scale; with all modern aduncts to agricultural oper
atons: tractors and gang plows, listers, disc har-
rows autotrucks, etc. The magnitude of the under
taking gives free rein to the transcendent abilities
manifested and developed in the field by this
markable man; while the force, energy and ability
that accomplished great wonders on the field of
mage directed into peaceful channels will be produc-
tive of great and beneficial results.
1t is such manifestations that give hope for Mexi-
co; the most remarkable country upon the face of
the earth, with most wonderful variety of soil and
climate, and unparalleled range of natural produc
tions, and wide variety of latent mineral wealth. car
rying commercial possibilities of nestimabe value,
sons have but to follow the example of Villa, and
they will make it Of the greatest and most pros
porous nations on the globe.

cleared out Of Anatolia eventually,
just as the French now are being
ousted by a great rising of the Turk

the struggle lasts WI cannot lose
much more. It is the ultimate strug-

This extraordinary movement of
supreme effort is bringing out force
and energy Anatolia formerly utilized
to hold the empire together. Now
it is being used for national existence.
II Anatolia could be left alone, not
subjected to moral and material
blockades and continual treacherous
attacks. she would be able to recon
struct herself into a prosperous coun-
try. The energy used in Anasolia for
s~elf-defense and the right to live is
much more terrible than the west
realizes. She is being driven into a
corner by enemies who will not give
quarter. 4s,.
This is the turning point in Turk
ish history, when the form of her
government and the future life and
culture are being determined. In her
reconstruction the leading elements in
Turkey all are products Of the west.

phases, can be stabilized in Anatolia
