An old subscriber of THE OASIS who went over the Mexican Central Railway recently has sent the fol- lowing account of his experience in getting over that road in rainy weather:

The Hotel Arcadia.

As announced in THE OASIS last week the Hotel Arcadia at Hermo- sillo has undergone an entire change of management, Mrs. Alice Maurer, formerly of Cananea, who has had charge of the kitchen and dining room at the Arcadia for a number of months past has taken lease of the entire hotel, under which lease the lady took charge on the first of July.
 The hotel is now being renovated and arranged to accommodate the heavy fall and winter traffic.
 Mrs. Maurer will give the dining room her personal supervision, which speaks for itself, as all will testify who have taken meals served under her supervision; and she will be represented in the office by competent and attentive hotel men. Johnnie" will remain in charge of the cantinG and billiard rooms.
 To all who have put up at the hotel the building and furnishings speak for themselves; those who have boarded nnder Mrs. Maurer's management are we'll satisfied; and all who have had dealings with Johnnie know his polite and satis- factory services. Guests or travel lers who have never stopped at the Arcadia are requested by the man. agement to try the Arcadia once and form their own judgment. Gambrinus; Qua y mas: Beer

COUNTRY CONGRESAEN BALK
Appropriation Bill Contains No Pro-
vision For Extension of Rural
Mail System.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Members
of congress representing rural dis
tricts are up in arms over the de-
cisiOn of the committee on postofices
that the postofice appropriation bill
will carry no provision for the ex-
tension of rural free delivery service.
AS it will be reported to the house
the postal measures will include an
appropriation for the maintenance of
existing rural delivery service, but
in accordance with the economy pol
icy not a dollar will be provided for
establishing new rural routes.
A determined fight will be made on
the floor to add an amendment to
the bill giving 100000 for the ex-
tension of the rural delivery. South
ern members are especially interest
ed in securing this amendment, as
they claim their section of the coun-
try has been neglected in the estab-
lishment of the rural mail service,
but the movement has the active sup
port Of many republican members

there is a demand for the creation

Learning to Swim.
From Collier

Nothing is easier than for the young OF
the human animal to learn to swim-un-

cized out of all the naturalness of youth.
Animals never reach that condition Con-
sequently all animals swim the first time
they find themselves out of depth The
only reason man does not is because he's
afraid and. in order to save himself from
the dreaded catastrophe, he struggles
frantically to keep half out Of the water
until 1t becomes a matter Of chance which
half is above and which is below. This is
grave error of judgment. With only your
nose and mouth under you are quite as
badly off as the ostrich with it's head In
the sand. and just a breath or two of wa
ter IN your lungs dispels what is left of
your senses On the other hand with
nose and mouth out, all the rest Of YOU
can stay under with impunity, and that 5

apt to be little lighter than its bulk of

most people can float with the face out

Dreams of Youth.

From tue Ohio state Journal
Professor Holmes of the University OF
Pennsylvania, in a recent address, en-
phasized the Importance of young men
having dreams and visions of future
achievement. He said every idealistic
dream registered itself OH the brain and
contributed to the ultimate formation Of
character. And further he said:
"A young man must have his ideals
energized by love or emotion. He
must take steps to accomplish his visions
and enforce his ideals. When he has
learned to dream and at the same time
be capable of positive action he has
formed character that will make him
power in civilization
The trouble with young people is that
they drop their dreams after getting out
into society and business. They become
engulfed i'll style and commercialism
which amount To a whitening blast to
ideals and visions. Professor Holmes
says II is divine prerogative of the
young to see visions. They cannot have
too many OF them. for they enrich char
acter and build up purpose. 1t is really
a sad part OF youths experience. when
he gets out into the world, and mixes
with its vanity and selfishness and drops
his dreaming.

The National Eisteddfod of Wales cele-

And now a word on the Gorse3d itself.
On the Logan stone the Arch-Drud Dyfed
was attended by all his bards, some in
white robes and others in blue, and the
ovates in green. The twelve chief bards
stood by their sacred unhewh stones. An
Brythonic sword of peace was drawn and
sheathed three times with the question
by the arch-Druid. "A oes Heddwch ?"
to which all present responded by shout,
''HeddWch." ("Peace'D.
After each shout of 'HeddWch" the
sword was sheathed and the draught of
mead from the "hirlas" horn was drunk
by the arch-Druid. Then followed the ini-

Russia a certain class of peasants who
suffer from chronic state of famine

when the head of the family sees, toward
the end of autumn, that by d normal con-

that it will be difficult to preserve their

means that every body simply goes to bed
