Douglas, Ariz., April 14-The
citizens here are in hourly fear
of another battle at Aqua Prieta
just across the border. The re-
bel forces are known to be three
hundred strong, and may be
stronger near Aqua Prieta. At
Cananea and in that vicinity are
1900 rebels. 1t is thought the
Mexican government will rush
troops to the relief ofAgua Prieta.
The citizens of Douglas are
preparing a petition to president
Taft, asking that action be taken
for the relief of American citizens
Unless some action is taken at
once, the americans will take up
arms in self protection. The
americans are angered over the
fact that at Nacozari, when the
rebels arrived, that americans in
the city were not given time nor
to leave, but that
they were taken and held as were
the insurrectos. Numbers sought
shelter, but were closed in on,
and many were killed and wound

A Strange World
BY H. e. L..

80 49, -
Its strange old world, now is it not
When the winter wind blows, we'd lik,
it hot
But along in the summer about July
We'd like to the North Pole then to fly
And if in the city we have to toll
We certainly long to get back to the sol
The farmers sjghs for the city's glare
And vows, by gum, that he'll go there.
The soldier longs for his quiet home
And swears no more to war he'll roam.
While the civilian reads the latest war
scare
And longs with gun and sword to be
there.
And ladies now both near and far
Are swiping parts of mans attire
While man, the simple little jink
Takes wifey's place at the kitchen sink
And so for ages it has been
Far off fields always look green
And from early youth, till we are old
and bent
We're filled with hunks of discomfort.
And even the yap who writes this verse
Knows that he could do nothing worse.
And he'd like to change to another level
With anyone excepting the devil

| When will Colonel Roosevelt
flearn that his job is to run the
universe in general and to permit
minor divisions Of the earth
such as states and municipalities
to conduct their own affairs?
Evidently, he hasn't learned it
yet.
Last fall he rushed to Indiana
to save Beveridge. Beveridge
lost.
He then went to Ohio to elect
Harding. Harmon won.
Then on to Massachusetts to
whoop itup for Henry Cabot
Lodge, and Lodge pulled through
by the skin of his teeth, after
the most hair-raising experience
in his entire career.
And in New York Roosevelt
fought hand to hand battle for
his personal candidate, Stimson.
Stimson was buried on election
day.
When he reached California he |
found that Berkeley, high-toned |
university town that it is, resi- |
1ence district of the rich and |
well-to-do. and home of his BE-
owed friend, the majestic Ben
jamin Ide Wheeler Berkeley
was in the throes of a local cleo
ion, with one J. Stitt Wilson,
Socialist, actually running for
mayor!
The Rough Rider did not hesi-
ate. He saw his duty and he
lone it," He told those Berke-
eyites that they must rally for
he cause of conservatism that
hey must not forget that this
is not and never
hall be the government of a

It was an extreme test, but it
'demonstrated' or "functioned"

Uncle Sam Warns Against Mosquitoes

quito is branded as being as great a
menace to humanity as the fly. l. o.
Howard, chief of the bureau of ento-

protection of communities from mos
Quitoes. He lays stress on the ne
cessity of abolishing breeding places
of the insect pest
Where the rain barrel and rain wa
ter tank are necessary they should be
screened. The waste places in the
immediate vicinity of house should
be carefully searched for tin cans, bot
ties and wooden or tin boxes in which
water can accumulate, and all such
receptacles should be destroyed or car
ried away. The roof cutters should
be carefully examined to make sure
that they are not clogged SO as to al

And yet in spite of all care and all
precautions, counterfeiters are event

In the long run most money in circu-

bank. And there the counterfeit,
good or bad, eventually meets it's

to be gifted with second sight
If he cannot tell at first glance
whether the money is bad, he consults
two monthly counterfeiting magazines

four men guard the outside of the

iceman constantly on guard.
There are always two in the base

there is a large door leading from

Bankers Quick to Detect Bad Money

TIE exact chance of any one per-
i son having a bad piece of money
is hard to determine, for the reason
that no one, not even the secret serv-
ice, knows at any one time just how
much counterfeit currency is in circu-
-lation. But from years of experience
the government agents at Washington
have figured out that in paper money
the proportion of bad to good is about
81 to 100000, and in coin somewhere
between 81 and So to 100000.
The larger the coin or bill to be
counterfeited the greater the danger
of detection and the need of a more
expensive plant. The commonest way
of making spurious money is the turn
ing out of base metal coins-but the
operation is expensive. Silver, for in
stance, cannot be successfully cast.
Base coins with silver in them must
therefore be struck off in a steel die
a die representing days of work on
the part of an expert engraver. Then
there must be a powerful press to
make the impressions.
In the counterfeiting of paper money
there are three methods used, copy
ing by hand, Photographic reproduc-
ton, and the raising of genuine bills
from lower to higher denominations
1t takes good man a whole day to

tie breeding place is the footprints of
cattle and horses. In one country
village, which contains many small
vegetable gardens in clay soil, during
a rainy season mosquitoes were found
breeding abundantly in the water ac-

Even in the house these mosQui-

water in flower vases is not frequently
changed mosquitoes will breed. They
will breed in water pitchers in unused

The White House Is Closely Guarded

At night policeman guards the base

other the corridor OF the upper private
floor.
Outside there is constant vigilance
in front and in the rear, If the White
House may be conceived as having
any rear The south front is as beau
tiful as the north front and indeed
more so.
That the White House should have
to be thus carefully guarded may seem
strange to Americans whose chief ex-
ecutive is after all only a democrat
who is a citizen temporarily, holding
a high public Office. But it is neces-
sary Three Presidents have been
