Amsterdam.—M. Toneheff, Bulga-
rian minister of finance and head of
tho peace delegation, returned Thura
day from Bucharest to report to his
government on the negotiations with
Ronmania. He explained to the Bul-
garia:: sobranje that on the expiration
of the armistice Saturday the Rouma-
nian delegates announced that th«
crown council at Jassy had decided to
accept the conditions offered by the
central powers, including the cession
of the Dobrudja, readjustment of the
frontier between Hungary and Rou
mania and the granting of economic
concessions.
The Roumanian government was
then Informed that it must sign before
noon of March 5 a preliminary treaty
embodying these terms, and that ne-
gotiations would be resumed imme-
diately with a view to a further armis-
tice and the final conclusion of peace.
M. Toneheff said that the prelimi-
nary treuly between the individual
countries would be drawn up In iden-
tical terms, but in the final treaty,
which would require some alterations
In the wording, It would expressly sttp-
ulate that Roumania cede the Do-
brudja to Bulgaria. The economic
concessions also would he ««t. forth
clearly, the work of defining them
probably occupying some time. "
! Following are the terms of the pre-
liminary peace treaty:
"1. Roumania cedes to the central
! allied powers Dobrudja as far as the
I Danube.
I "2. The powers of the quadruple al-
I liance will provide and maintain a
! trade route for Roumania by way Of
! Constanza to the Black Sea.
I "3. The frontier rectifications de-
| manded by Austria-Hungary on
frontier between Austria-Hungary
Roumania are accepted in principle:
Roumania.
"i. Likewise cconcmic measure# 'cojf*
responding to the situation are con-
ceded in principle.
"5. The Roumanian government un-
dertakes to demobilise at least eight
divisions of the Roumanian.|rmy. Con-
trol of the demobilization will be un»
dertaken Jointly by the upper com-;

Houston, Tex.—A plan which would
facilitate handling the onion crop of
the Rio Grande Valley, placing upon
the market $5,000,000 worth of onions
and through the harvest to make avail-
able 35,000 acres of irrigated land ln
by Teuton AlJ^(the Rio Grande for additional crops,
' was submitted to Administrator Peden
Friday by a committee of onion grow-
ers from the onion belt. The pro-
posal is that the Unltod States food
administration name a special agent
to assist in the handling and distribu-
tion of tho 1918 crop, which begins
moving dur ing the latter part of March
sud is complete in sixty days.
The special agent, if so appointed,
would have charge of tho distribution
of the onion crop so that every grower,
large and small, can share alike in the
handling of curs and the distribution
of their products. The onion growers
wish to eliminate the usual taking of
profltB by middlemen and to place
upon the market onions at a consider-
able reduction when compared to pres-
ent prices. The committee stated to
Administrator Peden that while grow-
nrs were receiving l*Ac a pound for
their onions, the housewives, because
of defective distribution, are compell-
ed to pay 71/£c and 8c.
The committee waiting upon Mr.
Peden consisted o' John H. Davis, La-
redo, Webb county; T. I. Rock, Co-
tulla. La Salle county; W. R. Stone,
Carrizo Springs, Dimmit county; A. H.
Rife, Valley Mills, Zavala county; W.
L. Bradbury, Mission, Hidalgo coun-
ty. Mr. Peden upon hearing the re-
quest of the onion growers gave the
committee letters to take with them
to Washington, where the proposal
will be made before the perishable
division of the United States food ad-
ministration.
With the committee ns counselor
was Fred M. Malley, county demon-
stration agent of the agricultural de-
partment, Laredo, wno in turn repin-
aented the six other counties in the
onion belt.

ments brought out by the committee

cleared of onions would be ready 1
the planting of other crops, and a suc-
cessful sale of the onions would make
possible the financing of 35,000 acres
of Irrigable land in the territory in
which the onions are raised.
The crop for 1617 was 12,000 acres,
as compared with 18,000 acres for
1918, and It is estimated as having a
conservative value of $5,000,000.
When the committee reaches Wash-
ington it will ask for an audience with
Director General McAdoo of the rail-
ways with a view of securing suf-
ficient cars when the crop begins to be
gathered in to insure transportation
as the onions are harvested. This is
necessary so there will be no "lay-
ing over" and deterioration caused
through heat and adverse climatic con-
ditions.
THIRD LIBERTY LOAN
WILL OPEN APRIL 6
The Issue Is to Have Distinctive Flag
With an Overplus Quota
of Stars.
Washington.—The third liberty loan,
which will open April 6, is to have a
distinctive flag of Its own. Red bo;
der, white interior field, with thre<
vertical blue stripes—this is the dt
sign'for the honor emblem which wil
be bestowed upon each city exceeding
its quota of liberty bonds. If a cltj
doubles Its quota a star will be added
to Its flag and a tripling of the quota
will be recognized by two stars.
Among other features of a system
of honors devised for the third liberty
loan and announced Thursday by Sec-
retary McAdoo, is the plan of giving a
window card bearing a reproduction of
the flag to each purchaser of a bond
and of establishing honor rolls in each
community or organization of any kind
to bear the names of the subscribers.
It is planned also to unfurl a state
honor flag at cach capital after the
campaign Is ended to bear the names
and records of each community which
won a quota flag. A national flag to
be flown at Washington after the cam-
paign will bear the records of states.
More Cavalry Ordered.
Washington.—Organization <y five
more regiments of cavalry, in accord-
ance with recommendations from Gen-
eral Pershing, has been ordered' by the
war department In addition to the com-
plete cavalry division of the regular
army already under way.
HOW MRS. BOYD
AVOIDED AN
OPERATION
Canton, Ohio.—"I suffered from •
female trouble which caused me mueh
suffering, and two
doctors decided
that I would have
to go through ttu
operation before I
could get well.
"My mother, who
had been helped by
LydiaE. Pinkhoin'i
Vegetable Com-
pound, advised me
to try it before sub-
mitting to an opera-
tion. It relieved me
from my troubles
so I can do my house work without any
difficulty. I advise any woman who U
afflicted with female troubles to give
Lydia E. Plnkham's Vegetable Com-
pound a trial and it will do as much for
them."—Mrs. Marie Boyd, 1421 6th
St, N. E., Canton, Ohio.
Sometimes there are serious condi-
tions where a hospital operation is the
only alternative, but on the other hand
so many women have been cured by thia
famous root and herb remedy, Lyaia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, after
doctors hava said that an operation was
necessary — every woman who wants
to avoid an operation should give it a
fnir trial before submitting to such m
trying ordeal.
If complications exist, write to Lydia
E. PinkhamMedicine Co., Lynn, Mass.,
for advice. The result of many years
experience is at your service.
