American busi ness agents here are endeavoring to provide a fjuick movement from Mexico of all Americans, if such a movement becomes imperative. Instructions to prepare for imme diate withdrawal from Mexico came yesterday on the heels of news from Wa-.hingt(.n concerning the Mexican situation as viewed in congress. In some e-ises the instructions were for immediate withdrawal, and in others the call was less urgent and appar ently was designed as a precaution ary measure so that Americans in isolated sections of Mexico can be i - : Denatured We haven good supply of alcohol for your radiator.

Their liberty on bail ex pired when they were surrendered by their counsel at the demand of the department of labor. THAyer COUNTY MEN START CUTTING WOOD Deshler. Nebr.. Dec. f. A gang of men commenced cutting trees this week on the twenty-acre addition to the Deshler park and Thayer coun ty fair ground, recently purchased by I the town board and directors of the society. The trees will be cut into lengths small enough to be dragged to a central location where they will be cut into stove and furnace lengths by a power saw. The wood will be sold to those in need of fuel. There is no suffering for fuel in Thayer county but strict economy is being practiced. Arrangements are being made by the Commercial club to operate a gang of wood cutters on the Blue river and every effort will be made to rush the production of wood for fuel.

Deles Dernier motored on to Lincoln to attend to business matters. ; : .; The first of tbe mouth Lloyd Deles Drnier commenced carrying the mail from the train to the postoffice. Don Strahan had been carrying it up to this time. , f .Qj A number have been chopping wood in the face of the scarcity of coal and Charles Peck has been cleaning up a bunch of wood on the Clapp land and C. M. Guernsey on the Caygill land. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Penferman and little daughter cf Rockwell City. Iowa, visited several days here with the Penferman families and the William Deles Dernier family. Mr. Penterman is one of the owners of a large department store at Rockwell City and is doing a big business. His many friends here were glad to see him and to know that he is making good. On Thursday morning we thought the world was coming to an end. The phone rang we lifted the receiver and such outbursts of laughter. It was Don Fentiman and the cause for all this was that he was grandpa and the first intimation that we got of what was the matter was when he could say "It's a boy." A fine eight pound boy was born to Mr. and Mr?. Clifton Fentiman on Thursday morn ing. December 4. 1919. Congratula tions are in order for both the happy parents and the proud grandparents.

William Schwalm. living out north of Manley. was badly burned about the hands as the can exploded with terrific force. Burning oil was thrown over his clothing but his rare presence of mind perhaps saved his life. He ran from the. house and threw himself at length into a bank of snow thus extinguishing the flames. The oil scattered over the floor and over the kitchen furniture threatened the house with destruc tion and only by quick and hard work was it possible to save the building. In the excitement Mr. Schwalm did not realize how badly he had been burned until the flames had been extinguished in the house. The flesh from his left hand literally hung in shreds. His right hand was not so badly burned, however, and Dr. Worth man. who was called to dress the wounds, stated that he might be able to use the right hand within a week or ten days. His lips were also blistered by the flames. Louisville Courier. WEEPING WATER i Republican Claude Canaday who is attending the state farm school and his friend.

Look out for kidney troubles and backache. Colds overtax the kidneys and often leave them weak. For weak kidneys well, read what a Plattsmouth man says: Ben Brooks. Main street, says: "A bad cold left me with a severe at tack of kidney complaint. I had nain in my hack and hips and at times it extended up into my shoul der blades. I was laid up for several weeks. My back ached for hours and I was subject to dizzy spells, during which my sight blurred. Half a box of Doan's Kidney Pills relieved these troubles and after tising two boxes. I regained my health." OVER THREE YEARS LATER. Mr. Brooks said: "I couldn't speak too highly of Doan's, for it was this old. reliable medicine that fixed me up in fine shape when I was down with lumbago. I haven't had an at tack since." Price 60c. at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mr. Brooks .had. Foster-Mil-burn Co.. Mfrs.. Buffalo. N. Y.

MIGHT BE RANSOM WAS PAID Although State Department Believes' Its Note Has Proven Effective I with the Mexicans. Washington. Dec. William O. Jenkins. the American consular agent imprisoned at Puebla. Mexico, was released Thursday night. The American embassy in Mexico City reported his release in a dis patch received by the state depart ment this afternoon, and almost at the same time news dispatches were received from Mexico City which said a check for $500 had been de posited with the civil authorities at Puebla. The difference in the two reports seemed to raise some doubt wheth er Jenkins was released uncondition ally on the diplomatic representa- U1 lur 1 ",,ru or whether he had been released on hail, as the Mexican authorities con - tended he could. The state department, however, took the view that Jenkins had been released on its diplomatic represen tations. News of Jenkins' release was com municated to the White House by the state department while the president was conferring with Senators Hitch-, cock and Fall. Dr. Grayson took the message directly to the president and his visitors. Wilson Reserves Judgment President Wilson today reserved judgment on the Mexican situation until he could examine evidence submitted by Senator Fall of New Mexico on which the senator based his charges that the Mexican ambas sador and consuls in the United States had distributed "Red" propa- i ganda in the United States. Senators Fall and Hitchcock con ferred with the president for nearly an hour. They said they did not ask his judgment on the pending resolu tion requesting the president to sever diplomatic relations with Mex. ico. but he promised to indicate his views later after a study of Senator Fall's data. Senator Fall said in reply to ques tions, that he was "entirely" satis fied with the president's condition and with his ability to handle the Mexican situation. WILSON WILL LEAVE TREATY WHERE IT IS Washington, Dec. 3. President Wilson has no intentian of with drawing the peace treaty from the senate for the present. Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska announced to day after his visit to the president. He discussed the treaty question with the president briefly , after the conference on the Mexican situation. The president thinks the failure of the senate to act op the treaty at the special session shifted the re sponsibility in the matter to "other, shoulders," Senator Hitchcock said ' adding: "He is just going to let it stay where it is at present." NEW YORK ECONOMIZING. New York. Dec. 5. Electric heat ing of New York's subway and ele vated trains was suspended during the rush periods. Officials said it meant a saving of 1.000 tons of coal a day. Beginning tonight the great white way in the theatrical district will go into partial eclipse. Big electric signs will be operated only Jaetween the hours of 7:30 and 8:30 p. m. Bunkering of American cargo ves sels bound for foreign countries will be regulated by the central coal com mittee in Washington, beginning to dav because of the coal shortage. The Tidewater Coal exchange today received the following message from the committee: "Coal for bunkering of American flag vessels clearing for foreign coun tries, other than those regularly en gaged in the passenger trade will not be furnished except on application to this committee." The fuel administration's embargo on bunker coal for foreign vessels in American ports is causing concern in diplomatic circles at.Washington. Although no official protest has been made, the situation was discussed by I'.wiarjBSJi.nji'lMUMr: mra ruzmr. The Plattsmouth Garage : Telephone 394 7th and Vine Sts.

Although the army owns 1,000 foreign built pursuit planes, these could not be used for combat work, he said, adding that they would be ;f value only for training duty, as 'hey were out of date.
