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.

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

tions are in order for both the happy
parents and the proud grandparents.

While attempting to fill a lighted
lantern at his home last Friday ev
ening. 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.

JUST GOT OVER A COLD?
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."

MEXICO HAS
RELEASED CON
SULAR AGENT
w.
0. JENKINS GIVEN FREEDOM
AT HANDS OF CARRAN
ZISTAS IT IS SAID.
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

The United States. General
Mitchell said, has produced practic

capable of meeting any first class
power in the air today, as foreicn
countries have continued develop
ment of war-time air equipment.
Although the army owns 1,000
