LONGER NEEDED., IS TOO CLOSE TO HUERTA President' and Ambassador Differ on the Mexican Situation. Holds Con ference With Secretary Bryan, -May Spare Necessity of Mediation. Washingtn. Ambassador Henry Lane WMson, summoned from Mex ico City to inform the Washington ad ministration of conditions in ttfe rebellion-torn republic, talk for an hour with President Wilson and Secre tary Bryan, submitting chiefly a rec ommendation that the United States use its influence to stabilize the Huer ta regime. No policy was evolved, at least none4 was announced, but it became known that the President's ideas and those of Ambassador Wilson's as to the course to be pursued are so rad ically different that 'Administration officials interpreted the day's devel opments as forecasting the accep tance of Ambassador Wilson's resig nation. , President Wilson and the Ambas sador regard the future of the Mexi can situation, it was learned from op posite viewpoints. The President is concerned over the morality of any policy adopted by the United States' and its effect on other Latin-American countries and is disciplined to strengthen a Government that came into power through the questionable events incident to Madero's assassina tion. Ambassador Wilson, on the other hand, is disposed to look at the sit uation, not from past events, but with the practical idea of the future. He believes it is the business of the Government to look to the future and his suggestions have been in the di rection of extending things to con serve American interests. The mad visability from a diplomatic stand point of maintaining in Mexico City a representative who would not be sympathetic with the purpose of the Wilson Administration in Washington is said to have practically convinced the .President that the Embassy In Mexico City had better be conducted for the present by Nelson O'Shaugh nessy, its first secretary, reputed here as efficient and experienced.

'The large ;mdrtality; In baby chicks Is .very often attributed to theNpar- ent stock, when the fault Is really not inherent In an effort to ascertain the real cause : for this condition make a test. . ;' C ' ,1 Remove carefully all traces of food from the brooders, leaving none what ever near thehm. Take, some -of the chicks that have the care of the moth-, er hen and place them in the brooder over night. Continue this for several nights In succession, being , sure ; to return them to the care of v their mother each morning. Each morning note the condition of these little fel lows,' and if they are not injured or are none the worse for their ; expe rience in the brooder you will know that the temperature in the, brooder is about right and the fault does not He in that direction. With the brooder eliminated as a possible cause for the mortality, you most begin to look elsewhere. This narrows itself down to one of two causes improper feeding or lack of exercise. Now test for the food cause. Change your conditions of feeding radically and note the result If the cause is not from the feeding, it must be from lack of exercise. Correct this by supplying them with a proper amount of this requisite. Simply finding your chicks dead in the brooder in the morning when they are all crowded in a corner is not sufficient proof that they died from too low a temperature. Sick, weakly and Indisposed chicks will always hud dle together whether they are cold or not. J They will not huddle together, how ever, should ' the temperature be ex cessively high, in which event they will spread apart, and when found dead will usually be lying on their breasts. This condition, however, is seldom noted, as it takes, a very high temperature to cause them to spread apart and to cause their death. BREED POULTRY FOR RESULTS Difficulty in Mating Unrelated Birds Is to Find Strains With Like Characteristics. "Few people realize the advan tages of breeding together unrelated birds. Every time they are mated a decided, improvement is had in their young, in exhibition and utility qual ities, size and extreme hardiness' The above statement was made by E. R. Philo of New York, a man who has done much experimenting along the line of breeding. Line breeding is dangerous unless thoroughly understood, and the work of years can be demolished in a very short time. As above stated Prize Winning Plymouth Rock. the progeny of unrelated fowls Is thrifty and high- in utility, ' point which every breeder strives for. The greatest handicap in mating unrelated birds is to find strains with like characteristics. When rearing a strain of Rocks for egg production it is sometimes hard to find a suit able male, bred for the same results as the hens he is to be mated with. Many breeders have distinct lines of birds, bred for the same results, but wholly disconnected . along blood lines. In this way they can furnish their patrons new blood whenever desired. - Many a good strain is run down or ruined because of lack of experience of the breeder. One must know . how and . why the breed to obtain best success. A good pen of layers should not be mated with a male or un known heredity. If a flock of birds is - purchased for an egg-laying strain, to keep up their qualities, the owner, must know how they were bred, and adopt tha same plan with them as the originator. , Sun -and Shade. Plenty of sun and shade are neces sary in the life of Hhe rapidly growing young chicks. Coolness and shade from the hot sun are important. Trees and bushes make the best shade, but if they are not : available artificial means can be provided that are al most as efficient. PRIZED, RELIC, Or; COLUMBUS Ancient.

LONG CHASE AFTER BAD MAN Bold Horse Thief and Highwayman Will Not Trouble Idaho Any More. Gooding, Idaho. The horse thief and stickup man that has been mak ing free with the peace of three coun ties was apprehended at Galena, a ranger .station about thirty-five miles north of Ketchum.

The sheriff arrived half an hour later. . BATHERS GET A BIG SHOCK Object They , Had Seen Several Days Was Human. Corpse -Women .Panic' Stricken. Atlantic City.
