HORSE SALE IS ON
IN MISSOURI STATE
MEXICO, Mo., April 17.—Mexico,
ordinarily probably the “horsiest”
horse town in the country, today is
given over to horse buyers here from
all sections of the United States to
attend the annual spring sale of sad
dle and harness animals. Despite the
fact that thousands of handsome spec
imens have been sent from Missouri
to European battlefields local and
visiting horsemen say the array of
stock for the spring sale is one of
the best seen In many years.
Mexico practically lives on horse
Horse-raising and horse-training
comprise the city’s principal industry.
Any baby boy in Mexico who at the
age of ten months or so can’t babie
something that sounds like "hos” is
pitted.
Mexico’s only great hero was a
horse. Hex McDonald was his name.
Rex was a champion of champion
stallions and when he died there was
a genuine grief throughout the city.
Rex’s memory is going to be perpet
uated by a memorial fountain now
being erected.

JAPS HAVE BASE
IN TURTLE HARBOR
Probe Ordered By Naval Authorities
—Reported Japs Have Landed
Troops In Lower California.
WASHINGTON. April 17—The gov
ernment has ordered a probe into the
report that the Japanese government
has been using Turtle bay on Lower
California as a base for naval oper
ations against the German and Aus
trian merchantmen.
The report has reached the De
partment of State and the Navy De
partment and the investigation was
ordered to verify the story or prove
it false.
If the stories told the departments
are true the Japanese have not only
used it as a base for the ships, which
have been coaled and provisioned in
the waters of Mexico, but have erect
ed fortifications and have a force
of marines in the barracks on the
beach.
A fast cruiser has been ordered to
the scene to investigate.
