Of jand -go to the circus in this city, The American | “An Elephant Sometimes Better Than Mules. _ Last week the village black: smith of.a town not far from But- ler concluded to take a lay off ‘so he and the Missus and the chil- .dren, 14 in all, crowded into the trusty auto and chugged away to the county seat. They got here about the same time as the heavy rain. They ate dinner climbed aboard the old Rambler and pro- ceeded to the show grounds. When near the main tent they got into one of the numerous mud- holes and the car went-‘‘dead’’. | The blacksmith got out in the! mud and mowkeyed with the do| dinkus- and aid all the things usually done under similar cir- cumstances except as to the swearing. Nothin’ doin’, The! old machine failed to budge. As} a last recourse he started out to ‘find a team of the ever reliable Missouri mules, when one, of the managers of the show, standing near, who had perhaps been in a similar predicament, ‘said he could get them out and going in- to the tent returned with-one of the largest elephants, who looked the situation over and placed his porbosis against the rear of the car and gave a shove and the car was on solid ground.

S, May Recognize Carranza New York, Sept. 18.—Seere-| tary Lansing, representing the- United States Government, and the diplomatic representatives of | Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, | Uruguay’ and Guatemala, — re-| solved at their meeting here to-| day that the time had come for} the extension of formal recogni- tion to a Government in, Mexico. Three weeks from today anoth- er meeting will be held in Wash- | ington, at whieh a decision is to} be reached as to the elements up- | fon which recognition should be conferred. A formal statement issued by | the conference declared that as th: factions themselves had failed to agree recognition would be ac- | corded to the de facto authorities | jiossessing the ‘‘material and) moral capacity necessary to pro-| tect the lives and property of na-| tionals and foreigners.’’ a) Each of the several Govern-| ments is was announced, would | itself ‘‘judge such capacity, and | recognition will likewise be ex-| tended by each Government sep- | arately at such times as it may deem proper.”’ Unless the military situation in | Mexico takes a decided turn with- | in the next three weeks in favor of Gen. Villa, who has concen- | trated his forces for battle with | Obregon, the Carranza Command- er in Chief at Torreon, most of the conferees were of the opinion that the Carranza Government logically would be entitled to recognition. | Convicts Make State Supplies Jefferson City, Sept. 18.—Les- ter F. Parker, state industrial agent for the penitentiary, an- nounced today that within the next thirty days he would be able to supply the inmates of state in- | stitutions with clothing, andj within from three to five months he would be able to supply shoes all the product of: convict labor.
