Chickens for Rebel Meals.
Every colonist raises chickens for
family use and many of them were
breeding fancy strains. But it is an
srher case of mother and the girls
being gone away The eggs are gath

are having chicken for breakfast. lunch

Makes Him Feel Murderous.
Wv hen I think OF my wife and chill
dren being housed in a lumber yard
SAID J l. Clawson, of Dublan, while
torn UP and desolated eight or ten room
house, after having lived their lives in
a house like this. it makes me almost
want to commit murder. While we have
thss Big house and other property, we
nave little money at this time of year
We didn't need money as, with our
cows. chickens, pigs and orchard and
garden. We lived like kings while we
were at peace. When my wife and chill
dren went out we had less than 500

did went out with less.
What Threy Give Up.

The Story of All
Mr. ClawsOn's story. is the story Of
every colonist in Mexico and to a lesser
degree OF every foreigner who has been
forced to leave the MADEIRA company's
plants at Pearson, MADEIRA and at the |
great logging camps and on the new
railroads being constructed through the !
hills These people have been working
Tor wages or salaries and have more
ready money than have the agricultural |
colonists but they are suffering hu- !
Mutations just the same.
What the Next Move.
The great question with the refugees /
as wei as with the few FOREIGNERS re-

the American government is about to /
take any steps to bring about peace be- 4
tween the warning factions in Mexico I
and 1t is questionable whether a forced /
peace between Maderistas and Pascual--
1Stas would mean peace for foreigners. !
Ine1e IS a growing feeling that IL
would have been better had the United /
states government kept out of the muss |
and permitted the parties to the contro-
Nersy to settle their own affairs in their
own way In that event. whichever
way the fight turned out. the Americans
Would. not have to bear the odium of !

be free TO return without fear of moIes-
