May Accept German Bonds.

Washington, Feb. 21.-President
Wilson is expected to recommend to
congress before he leaves office that
authority be granted for the United
States to accept German bonds to be
applied against the debt that Belgium
owes America, 1t was learned today at
the state department.
While the United States is not com
mitted to any agreement, it was ex-
planned that there was an understand
ing reached at the Paris peace con-
ference that such. recommendations
should be made to the legislative
bodies of England, France and the
United States 1t was incident to the
claims of Belgium for priority in
Preparations and was agreed to by the
Representatives of the three great pow
ers as a practicable means for an i'm

A move unique in foreign relations
It was learned, already is being con-

of American rights in Mexico. This
move, according to the present PLAN;
would take the form of an official
statement serving notice that unless
a government in Mexico, recognized
by the United States, fully respects
American interests, then the American
government will guarantee these inter-

Americans in Mexico, but would notify
the Mexican government that the
United States intended to provide ade-

Oregon IS Obstinate.
Action of this nature would not be
taken, however. until efforts had been
made first to conclude a written agree
ment with Mexico. in which that coun-
try pledged itself to adjust the existing
points at issue. Attention is being
given now to recent advices from Mex

as being loath to conclude such an
agreement. Obregon is said to take
the attitude that while Mexico is ready

No Law FOrbidding
Burning of Corn.

Much discussion regarding
the ACCESSIBILITY of using corn for
fuel had caused many to believe
the u. S. laws forbade the prac-
tice. Over at Window the city
officials took the matter up with
Representative Frank Clague at
Washington, who after investi-
cation wrote them there were
no laws or rulings of any kind
that would interfere with burn
ing corn. All over this state,
South Dakota and Iowa, many
farmers and town people are al
ready using corn for fuel and
find it gives perfect satisfaction.
Window is going to give. this
fuel a test at the municipal wat
er and light plant and if salts
factory will continue to use it
while the price Of corn stays low.
lie Window finds it a saving other
towns and schools will evident
" turn to this method Of money
saving. Wabasso Standard.

We have heard the responsibility OF the GRIM
inal condition of the walks of Redwood Falls for
the past several weeks laid everywhere but where
it belongs! The mayor has been blamed, many
people contending that his immense salary OF fifty
dollars per year should make him both willing
and eager to push a snow shovel all about town
after each separate and individual snowstorm.
Others contend that it is the marshall's duty, he
having nothing to do between twelve o'clock mid
night and six o'clock the next morning but to
answer special police calls, act as night watch
man ETC. Surely he could well put in some of his
spare time by vigorous use Of the shovel. Others
have laid it to the early winter, to the dry sum-
mer to the fact that Indian summer skipped us
this year, to the present troubled condition in
Europe, to the fact that New York is full of unem-
ployed men, to the weather man, to the high rate
of taxation, to the fact that boys and girls are
careless about tracking snow onto the sidewalks,
to the failure on the part Of the ministers to do
their duty by preaching ardent anti-snowstorm
sermons to the theory of predestination; any
where and everywhere have we heard this respon-
sibility placed except right where it belongs on
the shoulders of the property owning citizen.
Just as surely as man fails to keep his walk in
a useable condition, just by that much is he q
poor citizen and law-breaker, inasmuch as Red
wood Falls has very definite and explicit ordin-
ance (of which every citizen is thoroughly
aware) to the effect that walks must be kept free
from ice and snow and slush-by all means that
slush! We know of several men, good ablebodied
examples of American manhood, who rave after
each snowfall If Commissioner Babcock fails to
have an auto-impeding snowdrift removed from
some road they want to travel and yet these same
men fail to keep sixty-foot front fit for children
to walk on their way to school. Some con-
sistency, that!

We hope the farmer who is arranging ways
and means whereby his hogs are having one or
two meals of warm food each day during the
winter months, is taking the same thought of
his children and seeing that school lunches con-
tain at least one warm dish each day. We wond-
er how some Of these Indifferent fathers and
mothers would enjoy eating lunch of bread,
meat, and doughnuts, with possibly apple for
desert, after it had been carried in tin pail for
mile or two in below-freezing weather. Com
mon humanity demands that the school lunch
be made palatable, nutritious and to consist OF
real food. Real food, in cold weather, means
warm food. ~
