YAlS incident, IOllOWlHS lHe hliIin6
of 1.-TWO Americans in Douglas last
Thursday by stray bullets, and coming
immediately after President Taft's
warning to the Mexican government
and the direct demands made upon
both rebels and federals by Colonel
Shrnk, commanding the United States
cavalry at Douglas, to avoid firing
across the frontier, is fraught with
menace of serious international COM
plieations.
Al force of 1900 federals attacked the
rebels, intrenched at Aqua Prieta, the
Mexican border town, practically ad-
joi3sing Douglas. They were driven
back and the rebels held every posi-
tion which they held when the fed
ersl advance began.
Mrs. Alice Gattliff, an American
woman, who remained in Aqua Prieta
with the Stars and Stripes flying above
hef little curio store, telephoned to
Ddlglas that she was unhurt. Lopez,
thS rebel chief, who had been In her
store, told her that the federals, ad-
va&cing across the open ground, had
lost heavily in killed and wounded.
When the firing ceased the Ameri-
csA troops had forced the Dougas resi-
dents back to Sixth street, which was
within three blocks of the center of
the city.
After a respite of half an hour an
otIIer attack by the repulsed feredals
began. The insurgents, taking advan-
tage of the respite by digging two
trenches, returned the attack with
ytkor.
Nobel sharpshooters Pick OFF Gunners

-. 3 : The = :s3Es1,tsse gain
49, by the rebels was due, in large
paFt, to the shrewdness Of Lopez, who
placed sharpshooters in such positions
that they commanded the positions
taken by the federal machine guns.
Time and again the rebel marksmen
covered the ground around the ma
chine guns with dead and wounded
men, with no one standing to man
the guns.
When they were finally in action
the steel missiles tore up the ground
and passed through houses in the
American town as we'll as ploughed
up the turf protecting the rebels, who
say their loss is light.
The federal loss is apparently very
heavy.
The hail of bullets from the federal
machine guns fell far within the con-
fines of the city of Douglas. 1t was
evident from the outset that the battle
was to be decisive. Both sides exhibit
ed desperate courage.
The federals began by massing
themselves to the southeast of the
town and moved slowly within rifle
range of the rebel position. The in
surrectos, facing in three directions,
lay low in the trenches or fiat on the
open ground. The federal's fire raked
over them and into both Aqua Prieta
and Douglas. 1t was evident from the
heavy firing that the casualties on
both sides were destined to be very
heavy, and twenty rebels have already
been brought into Aqua Prieta-
The steel missiles from the federal
guns carried far over the interna-
tibnal line and plowed their way into
the buildings facing along Second and

THE RACE QUESTION.

One OF the most important and In
teresting functions or the coming
year will be the assemblage in Lon
don, 1n July, 1912, Of the First Inter-
national Eugene Congress at the In
stance ana under the promotion OF
able and advanced scientists who
have made the origin, the relation and
the movement of the various races OK
men the subject of searching study.
II ID announced that Major Leon
ard Darwin, son OF Charles Darwin,
has consented to preside over the de-
alterations.
Eugenics has been defined as the
study or agencies under social con-
troll that may improve or impair the
racial qualities OF future generations,
either physically or mentally. Rough
ly speaking, it is the science OF in
ter-breeding. Perhaps no other sub
jet has been more widely discussed
by haIf-baked and uniformed dis
putants. No subject presents a more
battling field of investigation.
The object of the congress will be
to bring together, as far as possible,a
body OF competent observers who will
discuss known facts and seeming
probabilities and possibilities with a
view to the spread of more accurate
knowledge upon which to base legis-
lative action and international agree
ment No special fad Is to be advanc-
ed, no particular reform insisted up
on; but a. campaign Of popular in
struction will be organized. The CO.
operation OF all interested persons
and especially OF the medical frater-
nifty, is desired.
There is no country in the world
where the race question is more at
the front than in the United States.
There IL no more serious problem than
the white and black problem which
presses upon us for fair and just solu-
ton. There 10 no issue which more
deeply involves the future progress
OF the Republic. II may be that the
wise heads In the proposed Internal
ional congress may find for us q way
out Of the wilderness. Let us hope.

GETTING TOGETHER.

Don't let any one persuade you
that you are better or staying st
home all the time. 1t does people a
great deal of good i'm more ways than
one to get away from home now
and then. Women who never 20 out,
or eat at another's table, get into a
rut, and narrow down to peck-meas-
ure existence that gives them no room
to expand or to grow new ideas. Els
pecially should the mother OF young
people get away often, In order to
learn all she can OF other homes,
picking out the best of each for her
own. From such visits, wives 60
home with a greater appreciation of
their own husbands, children and
houses. They find that other women
have things to bear; other husbands
have deficiencies; other children
faults and failings, other homes lacks
fully as burdensome az their own.
Then, TOO, they find the better parts,
and find many things worthy OF intro
duction into their own lives. As to
gossip. not all gossip i'm harmful.
Much OF the neighborhood
news Is really interesting
and helpful, and in hearing or others,
our own views are broadened. We
learn many things that viii help US,
and make us happier. IL is well to
determine before you start that no
harmful gossip shall be INDUCED 10.
Save UP scraps from your papers or
magazines, especially the funny
things, for q sense or humor should
be cultivated; tell every pleasant
thing you can think OF, but keep the
unpleasant hidden; in fact, don't take
II with you. learn to forget the faults
and failings OF others, IL You have
head any. r. somebody has said q
pleasant thing OF any one present, e
member to repeat 1t, for people starve
sometimes for a little appreciation.
III you know any helpful thing, any
new methods OF doing, take that with
you. Make your visit bright spot
for the other woman, as well a. for
yourself. Try to leave her happier
than you found her, with a. better and
broader view or life and her surround

FRIDAY AFTERNOON, DEC. %, 1911
CHRISTMAS.

Everything about us 10 tingling
with the excitement of Christmas. Our
stores and streets are full of merry
shoppers and all indications point to
a happy Yuletide.
The most striking feature of Christ
mas liz the giving of gifts. Few e.
cape the contagion Of benevolence. The
express company IL overwhelmed with
packages and the postmen groan be-
meath their unusual burden. This Is
as it should be, Christmas was begun
with a gift which St. Paul declares to
be unspeakable.
As We send presents to our friends
and receive their gifts in return our
thoughts should 90 back to the first
Christmas Day, and all that has come
from il to exalt and ennoble life.
70 childhood Christmas looms up
like an oasis to the traveller in the
desert. TO middle and old age It IL
a time of contemplation. Christmas
is the season of brightness in prac-
teal, hard working year, and those
who pronounce it a failure need re-
generation. There is something
wrong within, when the holiday spirit
can get no grasp upon the heart.

IN YE OLDEN TIME,

II Is not generally known that
Christmas at one time was regarded
az superstitious festival, and put
down In England by the strong hand
or the law. The holly and mistletoe
bough we're ordered to be destroyed,
root and branch, as plants OF the
Evil One" 1t was Oliver Cromwell
who ordered that throughout the prin-
cipal towns in the country Christmas
should be observed, ut being q hurt
full custom" ID order to make people
forget Christmas. he enacted that all
markets should be held on the 25th
OF December 1t was hardly to be ex-
pected that the people would quietly
submit 20 50 extraordinary rule, nor
did they. During the illness OF Henry
VIII in the first year OF his reign it
was decided that the Christmas should
be q silent one. There were no bells,
carols or merry-making.

MPoRrAKCE OF THE FARMEK

The farmer feeds the world This
's o. proposition that lawyers, DOCTORS
preachers, and college professors en-
t1rely overlooked, until James j. ELL
laid down the dictum.
President Taft says that Il the pres
emit rate OF increase in population and
the present rate of producing food
stufrs, in ten years America will not
Do able to feed her population. That
Is to say, the population in cities is
increasing out Of all ratio to the f.
crease fin the population among the
farmers. What the farmers must do
Is to increase their production
through more efficient agriculture.
Agricultural schools were never 30
popular as now. Farming is being
taught to girls as well an to boys I'm
great number or public schools.
Several states are making agriculture
study il al public schools.
At East Aurora, last summer, wo-
men were hired to work in the fields,
harvesting crops. And these strong,
fine, intelligent, American girls did
the work well, had a lot OF fun, and
made two dollars day and board.
The automobile is taking us, in an
hour, as far out into the country as
we could formerly walk all day, and
thus Is distance being annihilated. Al
30, dollar wheat is here to stay; and
hogs at eight cents pound mean re-
spectability for the tiller of the soil.
We are amazed when we stop to
think that the farmer, who liz in part
nership with Nature, and whose sue
cess depends upon being On intimate
terms with weather, climate, sunshine
and storm, and upon knowing all the
wondrous things that old Job i'm the
oldest book in the world enumerated
we are amazed, repeat, to think
that the farmer has been sort OF
pleasantly, a byword and a term of
contempt in the colleges and among
the so-called educated and superior
class. This is not exactly SO now.
Even the Earl OF Yarmouth has got
a job ON farm, which in just as good

LOOK AFTER THE BOYS.

Why IL ii that so many boys and
young men are seen 1oafing on our
streets until late hour at night?
We often wonder where all our
tramps and Migrants come from, and
lose sight OF the fact that many of the
youths OF our own town are left en-
tirely to their own devices which oft
en- prompt them to roam aimlessly
around town with apparently no e.
fort being made to find them
This is certainly due In large meas
ure to negligence On the part OK par
ents4 The average man would be
very much disturbed If his favorite
dog, horse or cow wandered away af-
ter dark, and would lose no time i'm
instituting a search, but be doesn'i
look after his boy As carefully
And young boys do require looking
after until they learn to form good
habits. and both parents and children
may be saved much future anxiety and
unhappiness If the boys are required
to be i'm the house during the hours
on the night instead OF wasting theil
time On the streets. This IL an evi
that il not only confined to our owr
community but - very noticeable II
many others. And the bad results tC
which 1t leads seem to increase as thu
