come back to Washington to press, not
for official recognition of his government,

"Diplomatically," he declared, in an ex-
elusive interview today, our situation in
Mexico today is precisely that of the
United States following the assassina-

THE vice president became president
and there was no call or necessity for the
United States to be recognized again by
foreign powers.

AT TERRE HAUTE
Celebrate Ratification of Stuff
Amendment.
snecial to me Times.

TERRE HAUTE. Ind, Aug. I'll
Women voters of Terre Haute and Vigo
county made their first plunge into poll
tics.
They staged whale" Of a parade last
night to celebrate Tennessee's ratiica-
ton of the federal suffrage amendment.
And did they unfurI the pictures of
Cox and Harding?
They did, and they didn't forget to
have pictures of President Wilson on
the radiators of the automobiles in the
parade.
When the cars passed bearing the pic
lures Of Cox and Harding, the huge
crowds which lined Wabash avenue
oheered and yelled themselves hoarse.
And when a picture of President Will
son appeared the crowds let out another
war cry.
MALE POLITICIANS
so ACCOMMODATING
And the male politicians were so ac-
eommodating and so polite.
They were so willing to act as chauf-
feurs to the women voters and the re-
publican men were also lavish In fur
nishing pictures of Harding.
1t began to look for while that re-
publican headquarters had bigger sup
ply of pictures ON hand than the demo,
cratic crowd.
There were shouts of "Hurrah for
Cox" and Harding is the man" as
the parade made its way down the
main street of the town
Vigo county women are in politics
for good, and the men are literally
breaking their necks to be nice to the
fair ones.
Handbills containing the following
were scattered along the line of march /;

PROMINENT PERSONS
TAKE PART IN EVENT.
Mrs. Frances Beach, who IS consid-
ered the oldest active school teacher In
the city. occupied the automobile which
headed the parade.
Mrs Beach was born In the year In
which Susan 3. Anthony started her
first suffrage campaign and Mrs. Beach
has always been an active suffragist
Among others who occupied prominent
positions In the first cars were Mayor
Charles Hunter, Miss Alice Hammer
stein, county chairman OF the League Of
Women Voters; Miss Emma May. dis
trict chairman OF the democratic women.
and Mrs. George Moorehead, wife Of the
Vigo county chairman OF the democratic
party.
Both men and women admit the pa
rade was a big success.
There is no argument here on that
score.
The only controversy is whether Hart
ing or Cox had the most pictures in the
parade.

County Agent Tells
H0lU SnOlU Big Help
AS Soil Fertilizer

Declaring that the recent snow is
the best thing for the agricultural
interests Of Grady county that has
happened this winer j. w. Owens
in explaining the value Of snow to
soil said today:
Good snow means more wheat,
easy preparation for spring crops
the riddlng Of the soil of many pes
ky insects and such other things
relating to crops of the next ye1r.
The snow gathers many aFmos-
pherc acids and other properties
needful for plant growth The most
valuable property gathered from the
atmosphere is nitrogen. Nitrogen
is absolutely necessary for plant and
crop growth and the more of it which
can be stored in the soil, the more
fertile the soil becomes. When we
speak of soil fertility many farm
ers refer to it as modern nonsense,
but unless the soil on which and in
which Il crop is expected to grow
has been made accessible to and can
retain these atmospheric acids which
neutralize and make available suffi-
cient plant food a crop viii not
grow, plants will not grow
"A fertile soil is a soil with avail
able plant food and the amount of
stored plant food depends upon the
period of time this soil is broken up
until the crop is planted Snow has
a certain electrical influence upon
the soil not found in a common rain.
This electrical influence goes into
tie soil as the snow melts away. and
causes a more noticeable chemical
change than takes place after a rain
When the farmer will learn and ap
preciate this fact he will do more
fall plowing. Fall plcwing or early
winter plowing increases yields be
cause more time is had for this fer
tilizing process to go on"

POINCARE FINDS HOUSE
Is REGARDED AS HERO
By United Press.

By United Press.
Paris, Jan 1O.-President Poincare
has just demonstrated to the satisfac-
ton Of every Frenchman that he is
the greatest man that modern France
has produced
This is not due to the mere fact
that at middle age he has attained
every honor which the French nation
has to offer such as being deputy
minister, prime minister, one of the
forty immortas' Of the French Aca-
denny, and president of the republic
but to something far greater
1t is due to the sublime, almost in
credible fact that NJ. Poincare has
found a house.
In the present crisis of flats and
apartments at Paris anyone who
can succeed in landing one is looked
upon by the remainder Of the house
less Parisians as being endowed
with the genius of the gods
In succeeding in finding Il house,
NJ. Poincare has incidentally put
France out of an awful lot of misery
because it looked very much for a
time as though upon President Poin-
cares departure from the Elysee
Palace next month he might either
have to take a hall bedroom in some
hotel provided he could get one, OF
else camp out in the Champs Elysees
Preceding the war Poincare posse
sessed three homes in France, in ad
ditlon to his right to occupy the Ely
sees Palace during his seven years
term as president
Unfortunately all three of these
houses we're within the war zone.
