! Apart from the massive machinery
| some of which actually represented ice
cream manufacture, the rest being de-
voted mainly to milk, the dominant
feature was ice cream in material and
tempting form, being tasted, made and
lectured about.
1t is said to be a matter for con-
graduation that the ice cream trade
has passed completely from the hokey-
! pokey days to a state of perfect or
ganization, with hygienic and cpl
curean ideals.
What this means to the farmer with
herd Of dairy cows it is impossible
to overestimate. Many agriculturiSts
already are turning surplus milk into
ice cream, and in future years this
outlet should solve one of the dairy
| farmers worst problems
There are over 800 samples Of ice
cream in the show sent from all parts
Of the kingdom. Also, to teach the
virtue Of a good ice, thousands Of
samples are being given away free.

See Reduced Rates
As Aid to Railroads.
La Noticia, Managua. travel
has been on the increase during the
present season, especially for brief ex-
curSionS at low rates on the interna-
tional railroads. We believe that rad
ical reductions in transportation rates,
both on the railroads and other con-
veyanceS, would SO increase travelling
that the volume of annual business
would be much more than is obtained
from operating empty vehicles. Despite
the present depression, many people still
have money to spend, but that they do
not care 10 spend it at extravagant
rates Is evidenced by the avidity With
which people avail themselves of the
opportunity to see neighboring lands,
when the charges for transportation are
not eXorbitant. Because OF disturbed
conditions, however, this year visitors
from the United States have been few.

Charges u. s. Has Brought
Violence to Nicaragua.
La Noticia, Managua Along with
the military intervention of the United
States in Nicaragua, there comes en
anomaly that should occasion reflection
| on the part of both American and
Nicaraguan leaders, really interested in
improving conditions in this country.
This anomaly is this, that though the
United States Marines have come here
allegedly in the spirit of good will and
helpfulneSS, they have brought in reality
violence and aggression. Newspapers
all through the country have protested
against this most unfortunate develop
ment, but to no effect.
Charles Thompson, secretary Of the
American League of Cancellation, recent
~ MADE trip through our country, to
observe national conditions, and pro-
tested because he was, as he claims,
the object OF abuses from a North
American officer. When Mr.. Thompson
declared that such treatment was con-
trary TO international law, the officer
replied that at present the constitution
OF Nicaragua Is the National Guards
(Guardia NacionaD.
Right there is the chief difficulty.
Should the National Guard of Nicaragua
be compelled to enforce the policies pro-
claimed in the name Of the United
states intervention in Nicaragua-to
apply militaristic doctrines so entirely
at variance with the democratic theories
OF the great republic which George
Washington and Thomas Jefferson
founded? An armed dictatorship should
not be, and must not be, the message OF
the United States for Nicaragua, but
rather this message should be the faith
ful, temperate service of the Guard In
protecting and upholding the institu-
tions and statutes of the republic.
Else, the armed interference and
restraint of the United States will In
crease, rather than decrease. the raVages
OF violence. as has already been seen in
a renewal OF offenses against the public
peace. So far, United States interven-
ton has cast but little credit upon the
moral influences OF that country, and
the Nicaraguan people, instead of being
mollitied and improved, have become,
rather. more demorallsed For foreign
