ing to Case Of

o. Jenkins, American consular agent

jenkins
The copy was requested by the
Mexican authorities. The consular
agent now is at liberty on bond, charg-
ed with plotting with Me1icans who
kidnapped him and from whom he was
ransomed.
The document Mitchell said is let
ter from jenkins to his wife written
while the consular agent was held for
ransom. The change in the text. ac-
cording to Mitchell referred to an al.
legged statement by Jenkins that his
captors were revolutionists and not
bandits and that his wife should i'm
press that fact on the press. so the
Mexican government would be respon-
sfble.
Mitchell said jenkins had not been
expelled from Mexico because severe
punishment is forthcoming.
Officials at the embassy characteriz-
ed Mitchell's statement as Interesting
but would make no formal statement.

the announcement in the papers as
to when the schools will be held.
We give below the method Of
treating oats for smut, and hope
every farmer will treat his seed this
year. Last year the per cent OF
smut ran as high as % in untreated
fields. while the average of treated
fields was less than l per cent. The
saving was large, yet only few took
advantage and treated their oats. Fol-
low the directions carefully and elimi-
nate this loss. For further informa-
ton, call at the county agents office.
Formula:
Wet method-Sprinkle seed until
thoroughly moist with solution Of one
pint fornaldehyde to forty gallons Of
water, shoveling over repeatedly to
distribute moisture evenly. Forty
gallons will treat forty bushels.
Shovel into a pile and cover with
sacks, canvas or blankets for two
hours or over night. Dry by spread

sionalIy with rake. Seed may be
sown when dry enough to run freely

ADMIRAL SIMS

because our supplies broke down,
Sims said. =
Sims said the charge that he Is
pro-British grew out OF his predlc.
ton in that awful Guild hall speech
in 1910 when he predicted that II
Britain's sea supremacy was ever
challenged America would come 10
her defense.
Sims declared that he has been
honored and commended" by Daniels
and is directing his critism not at
persons" but at the policy of placing
a premium upon defeat By giving
especial awards to officers who lose
ships provided their conduct is merf
torious.
Referring to Daniels attack on him
as shore admiral Sims said:
III after forty-three years in the
navy / am disqualified IN this respect
by lack OF sufficient sea service, may
ask why It is that the secretary.
civilian who has had no sea service
at all, can be so confident Of his
qualification to estimate the relative
importance of sea duty in war;
Sims said his average sea service
Is $3.50 percent al against 46 percent
average OF the forty-stx rear admfrals
and captains who ranked him In
1916.
Admiral Sims said that his views
on the Irish question were upheld In
letter from Secretary Daniels re-
Gently. Daniels, In his testimony
before the committee last week, said
Sims had cast a "gratuitous refec-
ton on the Irish people"

BLUE MONDAY?
NOT IN CHURCH
Was None Of This Spirit Present at
Meetings Held at the First
Baptist Church Last
Evening.
TContributed.]

tCOntr1Duted.J
The blue Monday" spirit was not
present in the revival meetings at
the First Baptist church last night.
Most Of the faithful ones were there,
and some were there for the first
time. And the choir was there. The
song service was just as enthusiastic,
just as inspiring and just as enter
tanning as 1t has been any night
since the meetings began. Some OF
the members of choirs from other
churches In the city are giving vaiu-
able assistance In the week night
services. Mr.. Clarke announces that
he is grateful for this assistance, and
extends cordial invitation to others
who are willing to help In the sing
ing.
The Rev. Harvey J. Moore preach
ed last night on the subject, AFTER
Death-What?" He said that IL we
can believe the words Of scripture on
any subject at ali, we must believe
that all of Us are TO be judged after
death for the things we do and say
and think here on earth. The most
terrible fact about the Judgment he
said, will be that the secrets OF all
hearts VIII De hEc"u- IL L l1ob

every secret Of every heart in this
house tonight, and should announce
that / intended doing SO. there would
be a sudden and chaotic exodus. But
in that day there will be no opportu-
nifty to escape.
TWO things. MI Moore declared,
are comforting when we think about
the judgment For one thing, God
has repeatedly told Us that II We con-
,es our sins to Him. He will not only
orgive them, but He viii utterly blot
them out Of His remembrance. 1t
Will be as though they had never
been. They will not stand against
Us In the judgment For another
thing, We are told that Jesus Christ
win be our Judge. He knows all
about US, and He Is merciful and
owing. We can safely trust ourselves
In his hands.
