that the financial difficulties Of the

Envoy Lind Reports
Special Envoy Lind reported today
that he had two interviews with For

ference with President Huerta at the
national palace, Monday night. Lind
reported that he had renewed the
appeal for the acceptance of the
mediation plan, and had reiterated
the statement that under the existing
circumstances. there is no possibility
of recognition being accorded the
present Mexican administration. Lind
had mex no disposition on the part
of Huerta to yield anything of the
principle of recognition. which he
had announced in his reply must be
the basis of any successful negotia-
tions
Reports of dissatisfaction among
the federal soldiers at the delay of
the Huerta government in paying

that Huerta's position Is growing

In Loving Memory.

A large audience gathered at the
Congregational church Saturday after.
noon to pay a last tender tribute to
the memory Of Harry +. Laokey.
Only sympathy seemed expressed in
that gathering and the relatives are
grateful for the kindness of many
friends In their trying time. still the
thought comes, touched with tears,
that perhaps IL a discouraged boy 10
Boise week. ago had fully realized
how many hearts In Ontario were
beating warm for him snd how many
loving hands would have reached TO
his help. the pitiful story OF the week
might not have been written. Even
to know how bis football friends still
cared would have been sweet to him.
II we could only know today how
tomorrow's heartaches might be saved.
We would not pass priceless opportuni.
ties In our blindness unseeiug.
While those who loved Harry best
must bow humbly under the bur iep
Of regret that IL could not be theirs
to give the needed courage. they know
with certain vision that the sweet.
af'ectionate nature and high .ideals
and longings OF the lonely boy are
immortal and will have time and
room to blossom under happier con-
ditions. Despair is not crime and the
Father ~ho marks the sparrow's fall
loves tenderly each child OF His.
Had we known heart a-weary,
tainted there beside the road,
How our tagging feet had hastened
To make light the heavy load.
But above the sob Of sorrow.
Softening the vain regret.
Comes the message. low and tender,
God who loved him. loves him yet. |

CLUB NOTES

The regular meeting OF the
Work and Win club was held
February 20 at the home OF Mrs.
Charles Emison. IL was guest
day and the program was Listen
ed to with interest by a large
audience OF club members and
their invited guests. The busi-
ness manager OF the Woman's
edition OF the Argus rendered
her report, also the chairman OF
the entertainment committee
and the club discussed some
plans for dispensing the funds
earned.
The subject OF the afternoon
concerned children and schools
and besides the two papers on
"Child Welfare" read by Mrs.
Stoetzel, and on the "Ideal
School Environment" by Mrs.
Pinney, the club was given an
interesting talk by Mr.. Bailey.
Mrs. Stoetzel said that she felt
that the subject OF child welfare
was so large that she could not
do it justice within the scope OF
a single paper and she wished
that the club would take up the
subject for an entire winters
work.
Mr.. Bailey, who followed Mrs.
Stoetzel, said that environment
played a more important part
in a child's life than any OF us
realized. He spoke particularly
OF the necessity OF adapting the
courses OF study in the schools
10 the needs OF the community
which they serve.
At the close OF the program
refreshments were served.
