AM BONA SENTINEL. Ft3W&B fA (By B. F. Fly) At 6:30 this morning I re ceived news trom Mexican to the following effect: Gen. Obregon, represent representing - ing representing the Carranza de v facto government, has two repre representatives - sentatives representatives in Calexico for the purpose of reaching an ami amicable - cable amicable agreement with Gov. Cantu.' Gov. Cantu has con conferred - ferred conferred freely with them and has agreed to asettlement upon the follow.rms : ' First: Every icial act oT Gov. ,Gen. ! ratified. u must be j. , .Second: . Avery officer 'under Cantu must retain his J rank. I Third: There must be no confiscation of property of those who have upheld Gov. Gahtu. Fourth : Cantu must con continue - tinue continue to act as governor-general of Lower California un until - til until a regular constitutional election. Fifth: All funds tied up in Calexico banks must be at once released so Cantu can distribute it pro rata among his soldiers. Upon the acceptance of these propo propositions, - sitions, propositions, Governor General Cantu will fall in line with the United States and recognize CarranzS; but not until then just as I outlined in these columns yesterday. This conference clearly shows that Carranza has recognized Cantu, which should have been done the day the United States recognized Carranza, and that would at once have settled the whole question, so far as IxDwer Cali California - fornia California is concerned; and such a recog recognition - nition recognition on the part of Carranza would have but given due credit to Governor Cantu's excellent administration. Carranza's tardy recognition, how however - ever however shows that the First Chief has come to his senses, and it is always better late than never.

URGES HER BREEDING FOR LAYING OF E6GS (Associated Jfress) Half an egg a day is the average to which every industrious and self-respecting hen ought to attain, accord according - ing according to flie University of California. Trap-nests are the means the Uni University - versity University now recommends for hasten hastening - ing hastening the coming of the golden age when I the boarder hen shall be exterminated ' and every hen shall average at least 1 ISO eggs-per annum. This home-made trap-nest' closes when a hen enters to lay an egg. Thus accurate record can be kept of the pro production - duction production of individual hens. Hence the poultry-raiser can incubate only eggs from hens with a high record as egg producers, mated with well-grown, anu sturdy roosters whose mothers were naturally prolific layers. The result of such selection on sound eugenic principles is rapid improvement of the natural laying capacity of the flock. The trap-nest makes it easy, also, to discover and eliminate the hen which does not earn her own keep. How every poultry-grower may very cheaply and easily, with his own ham hammer - mer hammer and. saw, make trap nests for his5 poultry yards,- is told by J. E. Dough Dougherty, - erty, Dougherty, associate professor of poultry husbandry, and W. E. Lloyd, assistant in paultry husbandry at the university farm, in a publication on "Practical and Inexpensive Poultry Appliances" just issued by the University of Cali California, - fornia, California, obtainable free by writing tot the College of Agriculture at Berke Berkeley, - ley, Berkeley, California.

PREPARE 10 PREVENT FREEZING II FBMGE (Associated Press Lu PARIS, Nov. 18. Paris is i&lio dan danger - ger danger of shivering this winter, though it will' have to pay rather dearly for its warmth. Monsieur Marcel Sembat, minister of public works, assures the public that there will be plenty of coal available and supports his views with a few conclusive statistics. France consumed' sixty million tons of coal a year before the war; 10 mil million - lion million tons of it came from Great Britain and 10 million from Belgium and Germany. The latter markets are now closed to her but her consump consumption - tion consumption has decreased from 60 million to 40 million tons by reason of the Ger Ger-mon - mon Ger-mon occupation of the industrial re regions - gions regions of the north and east. Her coal 'prqduction has diminished in the same ratio being 20 million tons as. against 40 million tons, so she has to depend on Great Britain , and the United States for the 20 million tons that she Jacks.

Statistics of subse subsequent - quent subsequent receipts are incomplete but it is thought that they exceed two mil million - lion million tons, per month, sufficient to meet current needs and accumulate a small surplus.

It was very common for me to preach fif fifteen - teen fifteen or eighteen times a week, and do some writing besides. At one time I actually became so weak I hardly could stand.

1ER WIN BRY FOB PEOPLE f ice. It was as . dark as forty black I cats. i ! Even at that unseasonable hour I called up the eyer accommodating County Clerk Farmer. "Has Attorney Lindeman filed the amended Caruthers petition?" I asked. "Haven't heard a word from him or anybody olse on that subject," was his reply. "Will you kindly do me the tavor to call me over' the 'phone at the Yuma Daily Examiner office if he calls on ' you to file it?" I asked. , "I most certainly will," replied Mr. Farmer. "Thank you very much; I will wait here until 12 o'clock," I replied, j And I waited, and then waited some I more, trying in the meantime to fig fig-i - i fig-i ure out why there was so much mys- tery about the matter, and at the same ime wondering why my friend, Lin Lin-j - j Lin-j deman, wanted to "string an old guy" 1 for so long a time. But to save from Halifax I couldn't figure it out. I i knew positively that he had been i working like b. Trojan for the past j two days drawing up the amended J petition, and having heard all the ar guments advanced for and against his former petition, I naturally knew hd was plugging up the holes with bomb bombproof - proof bombproof material if it were possible to find such material in law boons. But why, all this delay to the verv last minute allowed him under the ruling of Judge Baxter? 'Was it pos possible - sible possible that after all this bard' work that Banker Caruthers had weakoaed? Was it possible that he had finally come to the reasonable, sensible conclusion that the best interests of the county demanded that he stop whil3 he yet had a chance? Or, was the delay un- ! avoidable? All these things came to rao as I sat at my desk in the Yuma. Daily Examiner office listening to my Water berry grinding away like a curedhing machine, tolling off the seconds, min minutes - utes minutes and hours, while I anxiously awaited the 'witching hour of mid mid-Sight - Sight mid-Sight and all for what?

Half a dozen times or more I had asked him if the peti petition - tion petition was ready and each time he laughingly replied: "Not yet; but soon." I was anxious to see it for two reasons: First, because 1 was curious to know upon what grounds he asked for the injunction; second, be because - cause because I wanted to write my story about it last njght, as I had made arrangements to go to Laguna dam early this morning with Project Mana Manager - ger Manager Lawson and Superintend Superintendent - ent Superintendent Priest and float dovn the river in the skiff "Search Light" a trip that I knew would mean an all-day job.
