STURGESS SPEAKS

TO IMPLEMENT MEN

Editor Twentieth Century Farmer

Discusses Methods of Machin

ery Distribution.

CORN KINO ON SEES TESTING

That the present machinery of dis

tribution is unsatisfactory was held

by T. V. Sturgess, editor of the

Twentieth Century Farmer, lu a talk

before the Mid-West Retail Imple

ment Dealers' association, in session

at the Auditorium. He cited tho

three methods of distributing farm

implements today, through the retail

dealer, through the collective buying

organisations of the farmers, and

through direct mall order business.

"These methods are all in practice at

present," he said, "and each must recog

nise In tha other a legitimate competitor.

The one best able to satisfy the larger

number of customers the one that will

eventually win out and survive.

"The manufacturer must identify him

self with one or the other of these sys

tems. It is up to the manufacturer to

make up Ills mind which method best

serves his needs."

Service Uy the Uraler.

Touching on the sphere of the dealer,

Mr. Sturgoes said, "The dealer can render

a service in his community that the

farmer is willing to pay for If he makes

It worth while.. The up-tolate dealer

can keep In close touch with the types

of machinery that are coming out and

knowa what kind or type is best adapted

to tho needs of his community. New

machinery and new improvements are

constantly coming out. Most of them are

good and worth while. Others, however,

are put out merely to satisfy the wild

Idea of somo dreamer, who puts them out

for a short time to get tho money and

then qulU the buulnesn. Tho dealer can

do more to render service in his com

munity than merely study the types of

machinery. He can study soli conditions

In the different localities of his territory,

decide what machines are best adapted

to certain localities and then sell his

machinery accordingly."

Dina of Better Methods,

J. A. Crale of Janesvllle, Wis., repre

senting the Natlonal'Implement and Ve

hicle asHociation followed Mr. HturgcB

with a talk on "The Dawn of Better

Business Methods.' He praised the Twen

tieth Century Farmer as a farm paper,

ssylng there was nothing In the columns

of this paper that tho implement men

could take exception to, but that he had

seen farm papers in which pages were

MONDELL SCORES

MEXICAN POLICY

Murder of Americans, He Sayt, is

Logical Fruit of Administra

tion's Meddling.

ITS CONDUCT IS INCONSISTENT

WASHINGTON. Jan. 20. The

Santa Ysabel murders were dec!ared

to be the "iogt. al fruit" of the ad

ministration's Mexican policy in a

speech In the house today by Repre

sentative Mondell , of Wyoming, re

publican, reviewing at length out

rages committed against Americans

iu Mexico since the overthrow of

Madero. . ,

"By following, not a policy of 'watch

ful watting,' but of mischievous . med

dling," aald Mr. Mondell. "coupled with

base betrayal and callous Indifference

to the welfare and safety of American

cltlsens, the administration has lost the

respect and confidence and earned tne

contempt of first one and then another,

and, finally, all the people of Mexico.

By the same process haa the administra

tion subjected our citizen in Mexico to

the sort of treatment likely to be meted

out to cltlsens of a country whose au

thorities have brought upon them the

ill will and distrust and hatred of a

whSle people."

The administration, the speaker de

clared, had "Ignored past American prao

tlce in international intercourse," In it

plan of "personal vengeance" against

Huerta, and then by recognising Carranta

"had given the clearest and most con

vincing proof of the error and insincerity

of its declaration that no government

would ever be recognised which did not

have a constitutional basis for Its author

ity." Mr. Mondell charged that a few days

after American troops were landed at

Vera Crui terrorised Americans, who

were suffering Indignities at Tamplco,

were denied the protection of nearby

Amor lean warships and were taken out

of danger "on German and Kngllsh boats"

after the commander of the German gun

boat Dresden had trained his guns on

Tamplco, "serve.! notice of his intent to

use them if Injury or further insulta were

attempted, and escorted our people to the

wbsrf."

An American warship which lay In

Tamplco harbor, Mr. Mondell declared,

had sailed away "upon orders from

Washington, leaving our people defense

less and at the mercy of an armed, In

furiated and drunken mob."
