American demand for an explanation
of its purposes, private advice from
Mexico City Indicated that defiant
anawcr waa being prepared there.
Tb Stata department baa bad no di'
rect Information as to whoo th Mexi

would be transmitted. Secretary Lan

of Ellaeo Arredondo, Mexican ambaa
aador deelgnata, during tha day and in
dicated that ha did not understand tha
delay, in view of th statement in tb
American not of last Saturday that
an early answer waa expected.
Mr. Arredondo, who had called to
announce formally th release of th
Canixal prisoners, said be had not
heard from bis government on tha sub
ject -
Tba private message, sent ty per
sons In a position to speak with soma
authority aa to General Carranxa' at
titude, expressed the conviction that a
braak between tba two govemmenu
was unavoidable. Tber appeared to
be complete agreement among mem
bers of tha Mexican cabinet it wa In
dicated, that order to General Trevino
to attack American troop moving In
any direction except toward tba bor
der be reaffirmed. Soma da facto offi
elal wiahed to go further and coaple
with thi statement In the Mexican
reply a defiant demand that American
troops be withdrawn immediately from
Mexican soil.
Intimation have reached officials
her that tha da facto govenment may
give strong assurance in its not that
border raide will be prevented by a
strong patrol of Mexican troop, if th
United State will withdraw It force.
It wa said at tha . Mexican ambaaay
that 60,000 Carranxa troopa are now
toeUd from lose through th greater
prices which they will receive for their
DToducta. Peach growers who last
year permitted their cropa to rot on
th trees because of th unprofitable
price prevailing are thla year con
tracting to aell their product which
will be 40 to 60 per cent of the aver
age, at mora man oouoie in pneee
prevailing at tha earns time last;, year.
"Tha damage from in rron to ap

been quite serious and general but tba
prediction is made that notwithstand

that of 1916. " ,
This year's grain crop of tha twelfth
district will be from SO to SO per cent
less than that of last year. This short
sge Is due to tha unusual drouth which
has prevailed during tha spring in cer

Reoresentative Sinnott Now
Wears Oregoa Jackrabbit Fedora
Washington, D.. High-grade felt
bate can be manufactured from toe fur
of Oregon jackrabbit. This is no
longer a theory. : but a demonstrated
fact and Representative N. J. Sinnott
of Oregon, ia today, proudly wearing
tha first and only felt fedora ever man
ufactured in the country from jackrab
bit fur. . ' ' "
Last winter Mr. Bin not discovered
that felt hat manufacturers were em
barrassed because their supply of Ger
man rabbit fur was cut off with the
war. It occurred to him that jackrab
bit fur might be substituted and be
sent to Oregon for a consignment -of
jackrabbit akina. These he turned
over to tha largest and best-known hat
manufacturers in the East with th
advices request that they experiment with the
rabbit fur and determine its suiisdiii-
ties for hat manufacture.
The Jackrabbit hat seems to be tha
equal of any $5 felt bat on tba market
It ia of fine, soft texture, smooth to
th touch and clear in color and grain.
Members who examined it pronounced
it a first-class headpiece and on that
ought to command a good price in the
market' "
Mr. Sinnott waa told by manufactur
ers, who entered upon tba experiment
with some doubts, that the Oregon
jackrabbit fur made a much better hat
than they had anticipated. Ha also
learned from them that jackrabbit to
be valuable for hat manufacture must
be killed in the winter months, when
the fur ia heaviest and must come
from the colder portions of the West

cutlon trap kills off the insects that
would naturally seek you as their prey, j
Upon an Insulated frame two naked ;

ed with a source of electricity in such
a manner that the current cannot clr-

This is one of the advantagea of the .,
invention, for in thia way no current
can be wasted. Insects may be at- "v

water or by any other attractive sub-
stance. At night time electric lights i
are the beat . . : ?
As quickly as an Insect touches tha '
bait or the light and comes in contact s

Harvesting Crop Grown by Pupils In School Garden.
Every school m city, town ana
Bountrv should have a garden where
th pupil may be taught some of the
practical things necessary ror grow
ing plants, in the opinion of educators
who have aeon the practical results
obtained from this work. Boys and
girls generally take an interest in
such work and it ia an easy matter
to lead them to plant aeeds and to
cultivate the plants during growth.
Other advantages, besides teaching
the children practical agriculture, arc
cited in support of the plan. .It is
pointed out that the exercise found in
the open while gardening will be
worth much to pupils and teachera,
and that the achool garden will help
tha teachera get in closer touch with
the home.
