Royal Dutch Shell oil Interests have acquir ed control of the Mexican Eagle Oil company, limited, a Lord Cowdray property, with oil concessions In five states In Mexico, according to a cable message received here today at the New York offices of the latter con cern. ' .: ',.:.'.; This announcement follows receipt of news that the British government Is fostering a combination of British oil interests. ' The Royal Dutch-Shell group con sisting in large part of British cap italists, is ono of the world's largest oil combinations and becomes a still more powerful combination by Its acquisition of the Eagle oil conces sions In Mexico. The British govern ment, it Is said, has been buying re cently the holdings of British citizens In the Royal Dutch . combination, which owns oil properties in many parts of the world, including districts of Oklahoma and California. The cable message received by the Eagle company here read: "Deal has gone through" with AO details. The Mexican Eagle OH company, capitalized at $60,000,000, was in corporated under Mexican laws in- 1908 to operate the Cowdray con cessions which lie In the area north and west of a straight line from Vera Cruz to Puerto Angel on the Pacific coast- During 1918 the company shipped from Tuxpam and Tamplco 15.000, 000 barrels of oil in addition to what was refined In its Mexican plants. Profits last year were reported as $28,857,121 Mexican gold. "Letter of Appreciation i In the recent sorrow that has come upon us in the death of our darling baby, the loving sympathy and kind solicitations In so many ways ex pressed by our friends and neigh bors, alone made our grief possible to bear. The memory of the floral offerings, so beautiful, and the many acts of kindness during those last sad hours will dwell In our hearts forever. We take this means of thanking you, and showing our ap preciation. " ., , . (Signed) MR. AND MRS. I. R. . 11 FRIDEGER AND RELATIVES. Gas in the Stomach Js Dangerous ('... Recommends Daily I'se of Magnesia to Overcome Trouble, Cnnscd by , , Fermenting Kood and Acid Indigestion. Gas and wind in the stomach ac companied by that full, bloated feel ing after eating are almost certain evidence of the presence of excesalve hydrochloric acid in the stomach, creating so-called "acid indigestion." Acid, stomachs are dangerous be cause too much acid irritates the del icate lining of the stomach, often leading to gastritis accompanied by ' serious stomach ulcers. Food fer ments and sours, creating the dis tressing gas which distends the stom ach and hampers the normal func . tlons of. the vital internal organs, often affecting the heart. It is the worst of folly to neglect such a serious condition or to treat with ordinary digestive aids which have no neutralizing effect on the stomach acids. Instead get from any druggist a few ounces of Blsurated . Magnesia and take a toaspoonful in a quarter glass of water right after eat ing, vThls will drive the gas wind , and bloat right out of the body, sweeten the stomach, neutralize the excess acid and prevent Its formation and there is no sourness or pain. Bl surated Magnesia (In powder or tab lot form never liquid or milk) Is harmless to the stomach, inexpensive to take and the best form of magne sia for stomach purposes. Tt is used hy thousands of people who enjoy tholr meals with no more tear of In digestion. Adv. . GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP FAILS A T LEAST one issue lias been laid on the shelf, gov eminent ownership. Tho experience with the rail roads, the past few 'years, has, we think, conclusively demonstrated, that government ownership in a democ racy is a failure. A tlemocratio form of government, can not function efficiently in practical business administra tion. Government ownership may be workable in an au tocracy, royal or socialistic;, but it isn't workable in a world made safe for democracy. . - Not only docs our experience with the railroads dem onstrate this but our experience with ship building, tele graphs and cables, in fact every business in' which the government has entered, inefficiency, waste nnd extrava gance have been so gross and glaring, that only our tre mendous natural wealth and unlimited material resour ces, have prevented economic disaster. . This does not mean that tho country must return to unregulated competition, or supremo control of private business. But it does mean that the only place for gov ernment in practical business, is as a judge and regulator, a dictator of broad policies of economic and social justice, not as a board of actual operation and administration. Even Chairman Hurley of the Shipping Board grants this and frankly declares srovermncnt ownership should only be attempted as a last tion, not only have many communities like Gin's beeu de prived of essential transportation, as with the Pacific and Eastern, but the freight and passenger service through out the country has never been. so poor. And with the lowering of efficiency has been a steady increase in cost of operation. The people have had to pay double for what they secured, and they have secured only half as much.' "study government operation m any department and the same melancholy. lesson is learned.. Peruse. the Hog Island scandals, where hotel clerks secured salaries of $6,000 a year for taking jitney rides, look into the costs of cantonments, investigate the steadily increases in costs of telegraph, cable and telephone, operations, look here, there, anywhere, and government operation, ever points down the path of business chaos and financial disaster. And the people realize this. The overwhelming defeat of socialist candidates throughout the country at the re cent election, demonstrates that the people as a whole, want nothing to do with any party that bases its claim to recognition on the policy of increasing, rather than de creasing, this -program of federal operation . and monopoly. .

' - -jay, who will paff the tax? The League It Is a poor senator who could not enormously Improve the Ten Com mandments, or the Sermon on the Mount, or the constitution of the United States. If the authors of the first two utterances should appear with the most painstaking arguments in support of them, it is the poorest kind of lawyer who could not pile up objections In detail, under hypothet ical cases, twice as fast as the auth ors could adduce reasons for accept ing the utterances. That is more or less the trade of lawyers. Given a body of men who want tb raise hypo thetical objections, the first para graph of the Declaration of Indepen dence would have provoked so many arguments that the document would have been under debate to this hour, and our half dollars would be adorn ed with the Image of King George.
