COMPLETE EXAMINATIONS

Examination papers of county
pupils have been graded by the
county superintendent, Grace FauI-

ing for the pupils of the school. The
papers were on the subjects geog-
raphy, physiology and u S. history
and the pupils showed a very good
understanding of the subjects.
Mrs. Faulconer reports, however,
that the English and spelling of the
papers was not very good and that
special attention will be paid to these
subjects in the future.

terests.
According to reports sent to Wash
ington by the British government, tho
flag was placed on. the ground inside
the patio and Obregon's officers
danced" their horses on it. When the
British Consul protested he was cursed
by Obregonista officers, and Americans
generally and the American flag were
cursed as only the Spanish language
can be used for that purpose.
A direct appeal to Obregon resulted
in further cursing Of Americans and
their flag, and the British Consul
risked his life to rescue the flag, which
he placed in the safe of a foreigners
fruit store, against further disgrace.
The State Department, it is believed,
never reported this incident to the
American public.
Carranza, who has juggled his army
because he fears it, has thrown more
supporters into obregon's political
with. Disgruntled and discredited gen.
erals, degraded because their power
was becoming too obvious or their sug-
gestions too f1ippant, have found a
leader in Obregon. Carranza controls
the election machinery. but Obregon
may be said to control the Mexico
which is anti-Carranza.
Mexican state elections during the
last two years under the Carranza
election machinery method have been
stormy.
The states Of Nuevo Leon Tamaul-
lpas, Queretaro, Tobasco Sonora and
San Luis Potosi each elected two "gov-
ernors" who declined to accept defeat
IN Tamaulipas two governors were in
"office" until three months ago. Else
where the government candidates
eventually won through government
intimidation. In the state Of San Luis
Potosi, Rafael Nieto. now on a mission
to England, claimed the election and
was "balmed" by an appointment as
sub b-Secretary of Finance in the Car
rama Cabinet. Governor Martinez, the
government candidate, now holds
Office.
In Mexico City recently two city
councils were "elected." The govern
ment candidates counted their votes
under protection Of a Gordon of Car
rama soldiers. The Obregon candi-
dates counted theirs secretly. Both
won--but the government slate went
into office on January I.
In Mexico all voters are required to
register several days IN advance of the
balloting: If all the voters fail to ap-
pear at the polls the government can
didate claims votes for all unvoted
registrations: Less than rs per cent
Of the voters in the recent municipal
elections in Mexico City cast their
ballots. The government candidate
naturally" won hands down.
Only a small percentage of Mexico's
male population possessing rights of
suffrage take advantage Of their rights
in any election. Most of this enfran-
chised populace are Indians and never
saw polling place. The remainder
are not worrying about the Presiden-
tial race
They are waiting for the storm to
break. and it inevitably will break
and soon-the majority Of them will
tell you in Mexico to-day.

Situation Forebodes War
ef all the muddled situations in

d.y tho Presidential election entangle-
usut Is the most dangerous. and it in
.yitably forbodes bloody war.
Three actual candidates are in the
s.d. They are Pablo Gonzales. a fed
,ra} general and close personal ad-
,iser Of President Carranza; Ignacio
BoniIlas, Mexican Ambassador to Wash
iugton, and Alvaro Obregon, the one
armed, fire. eating army general who
vas credited with the major part in

4 fourth candidate" is Venustiano
Csrranza, though forbidden by the
Mexican Constitution to succeed him
,eH. The same Constitution, however
empowers Carranza to declare mo
elections" on the ground that the
country is in turmoil. Thus, he might
continue without succeeding himself.
At the opening of the present politi-
/ cal situation Carranza was credited
with a desire to have conducted a
peaceful campaign and an orderly cleo
2fion in July, 1920. Realizing the dis
a.rust of one Mexican for another, he
1 attempted to eliminate the army and
swing civilian on to the Presidential
/ throne The civilian was Ignacio
Bonillas.
Carranza called several generals into
| conference, and it was agreed that the
government would peacefully support
/ the pain-cothes candidate Order and
iscorum were pledged. Among the Sc
military men were Generals Diego
Murgia and Salvador Alvarado, the lat
l ter erstwhile Governor Of Yucatan and
| Mexico City editor. Bonillas was con-
sequently doomed as the governmental
| candidate for President.
Bonilas made at least two trips tc
northern Mexico, where he conferred
| with Carranza. Suddenly. those watch
I ing political developments saw Bonillas
| gradually fading out of the affections
Of the First Chief and another form
loom out through the haze. This form
| was General Pablo Gonzales.
Gonzales sought his release from the
army and established political head
| quarters in Mexico City, ostensibly as
an opposition candidate. Obregon fol
lowed this move as a second opposition
candidate Then Mexico City's under

report that Bonillas had been thrown

INJURY DONE TO GOOD ROADS
Autos and Motor Trucks Do More
Harm Than SteeI-Tired Vehicles
on Account of Speed.

There is more damage done to the
roads now by autos and motor trucks
than steel-tired vehicles ever did, for
the reason OF greater speed of motor
vehicles and their drivers have the
same fool tracking habit the horse
drivers always had. Driving in the
same tracks never damaged steel tires,
but it is the destruction of the roads
and rubber tires. The motor vehicle
is worse for the roads than horse rigs
on account of greater speed. The rea-
son running in a track is damaging to
rubber tires, is a sharp rock will be
set in the side of the track with the
sharpest corner out to nip a piece out
of every tire, and sharp rocks cannot
dodge or bounce out of the bottom of
the track, but cut holes in the tires and
break the fabric, causing the so-called
stone bruises and rim cuts, even on
properly inflated tires.

DOUBLED LIFE OF HIGHWAYS
French Engineers Find That Simple,
Surface coatings of Tar Were of
Much Benefit.

IT has been the experience of the
French engineers in building roads dur
ing war times that simple, surface
coatings of a tar preparation more
than doubled the life Of the road. This
being true, it would seem advisable in
the construction of all country roads,
to the surface with some crushed
rock or gravel, and then use the heavy
tar preparation, because the binding
effect prevents the material from Slip
ping to one side it holds the material
intact and gives the road a hard-sur-
faced covering that is not only lasting,
but adds to the efficiency of the road.

plowed ground. If this can not be done
the limestone may be put on the wheat
and narrowed in with the seed, though
II is not so effective when applied in
this way as when spread on plowed
ground and narrowed in. Farmers look
ing ahead for several years should on
slider lining the corn field next spring,
especially if this is to be followed by
wheat with clover on the wheat In
1921. Corn responds to lining more
than small grains do and limestone
put on in this way will prepare the
ground well for a subsequent clover
crop. Used in this way the full amount
necessary TO satisfy the lime require
ment should be used, as some will be
lost in drainage water and some will
be removed by the corn crop. A coat
ing of manure will help clover, and
on some soils phosphates are essential.
Potash Is Scarce.
In some cases, too, potash gives good
results, but potash it still scarce and
its use will not be warranted unless
the farmer knows that it is needed.
A word of warning must, however,
be added in the discussion of lime.
Lime is not a fertilizer, and If used
persistently without adding organic
matter in the shape of manure or crop
residues will eventually leave the soil
the poorer. When clover is grown the
nitrogen will largely take care of it
self, but phosphorus and sometimes
potash will have to be added as soils
need them. And most of all will they
need organic matter.
Good clover crops lie at the founda-
ton of agriculture in the northeastern
quarter of the United States. On many
farms good clover crops can not be
produced without lime, but lime alone
viii not permanently help the situa-
ton. A proper system of rotation with
clover as a regular element in a three
or four year rotation must be adopted
for the permanent upbuilding Of the
land, and then whatever else the land
needs in the way of lime or fertilizer
must be added thereto.

Road building is absurdly simple.
