PEACE IN SIGHT
FOR MEXICO
influences Working Toward That End Seem
Very Likely to Prove Effective.

Washington, March 10. Peace is
assured in Mexico within the pres
ent week If certain influences now
working toward that end prove eff
fective With the arrival in Mexico
City of Senor Limantour, minister
Of finance, President Diaz will begin
conferences, which it is expected
will result in the announcement
within three or four days Of a re-
organization Of the cabinet. Minis
ter Limantour will present an ex-
planation of the demands Of the rev.
olutionists and the changes in the
political family of President Diaz,
as we'll as the institution of reforms
which are expected to- appease the
insurgents.
In the meantime President Taft,
who arrives here tomorrow morning
from Augusta, Ga, will confer with
Ambassador de La Barre and the
good grounds for the assumption
that the troops now concentrated in
Texas Immediately will begin a SER
les Of maneuvers and will return
shortly to their posts. In addition.
when conditions are normal in Mex
leo, a complete statement of the
considerations that actuated the
mobilization Of the troops will be is
sued.
Hope for the coming of peace in
Mexico IS strengthened by the man

commented on the magazine article
of Ambassador de La Barre and the
insignificant spirit of expectancy
with which the results of Senor Lii
mantour's conferences in Mexico
City this week are awaited by or
gans of insurgent sentiment.
Not single adverse comment was
recorded in Mexican newspapers to
the proposal of the Mexican ambass-
ador that all classes in Mexico unite
for the promotion Of national unity.
The insurgents have taken the stand
that their operations have proven
they are willing to risk a great deal
TO secure the adoption of certain re-
forms in the government and, fail
ing in this. they will continue the
strife. Besides the proposals which
Senor Limantour is known to be
bearing to President Diaz, it is re
ported the wishes of leading insur-
gent sympathizers in various parts
of the republic have become known
to President Diaz and will play no
small part in the reorganization of
his cabinet.
The dissatisfaction in Mexico,
which has been most conspicuous in
Chihuahua, however. has not been
confined to that state, and serious
outbreaks in other states have been
prevented by the promises of early
changes in the administration.

Children's Birthday and Lawn Party.
A birthday party will be given
for the little orphan girl at the
Ruston Orphanage in the after
noon of Saturday, April 8, 1911,
All the children of Colfax are in
vited to come, and bring one pen
ny for each of their age. The
party will be held on the lawn of
the Methodist parsonage, and re-
freshments of cream and cake
will be served. The ladies of
the Woman's Home Mission So
ciety of Colfax have assumed the
support of one of the sixty or
phans in the Ruston Orphanage,
and this birthday party is one of
the several plans they have pur-
sued for the last two years since
they assumed charge of the lit
tie orphan for support. A late
report from the superintendent
at Ruston says the cost of keep
ing the sixty girls is $500 per
month, or about So for feeding,
clothing, medical attention and
training for each girl per month.
And it takes pretty close saving
at that. Let the little folks all
come out and have a good time
and learn to be helpful in a
worthy cause.
