stockholders meeting Of that organi-
Z Y sl1
the choice Of each Of two nominating
committees appointed BY the direc-
tors Of the club over a month ago.
He was the unanimous choice Of the
meeting last night.
Mr.. Southard came here little ov-
er two years ago from Wichita, Kan.
Shortly after his arrival it was no
tieed that the electric light and car
service had taken a great step for
ward. 1t was noticed, too, that Mr..
Southard took great pains to please
the patrons Of his companies and was
just as glad to meet them when they
had a grievance as when they came
to inform him that the service was
excellent. He made friends. Mr..
Southland took an active interest in
the affairs Of Las Vegas the day he
arrived here, and his interest has in
creased. He has frequently stated
that what benefits Las Vegas bene-
fits him, as well as every other citi-
zen. For this reason he Joined the
Commercial club soon after his ar
rival. For the past year he has been
a member of the board Of directors
and has rendered valuable service to
the club and to the community. Mr.
Southland was acknowledged as the
logical, and, in fact, the only man
for the presidency for the club at this
time.
In taking the chair, Mr. Southard
asked the cooperation and assistance
Of every member Of the organization
He said the president could do no
thing without the assistance Of the
entire membership Mr.. Southland
stated that Las Vegas has the re
sources and natural advantages which
should make it grow into large
city, and he predicted that grea
strides forward would be made with
in the coming 12 months
Fred o. Blood, postmaster Of Eas
Las Vegas, was the unanimous choic
Of the club for vice president He
too, was recommended by both non
mating committees. Mr. Blood is on
Of the best boosters in northern Ney
Mexico, and there is no man in La
Vegas better qualified to serve a
vice president Of the Commercial
club.
Two tickets were presented by tn

Washington, Oct. 30.-secretary
Bryan, leaving today to speak in the
New Jersey political campaign, said
there was no change in the Mexican
situation.
That the next step in the Mexican
policy Of the administration has not
been worked out finally and may not
be announced for another week was
Indicated todaz at shs ggbi HOUSE,
fIt has been necessary, said Chair
man Bacon, Of the senate foreign re-
lations committee, chat the Euro
peain nations should recognize the
right Of the United States to deal
with the situation. Now that we have
that recognition, It will take a little
time for the president to work out
the problem"
The possibility that within the next
few days a definite announcement
will be made by the Huerta govern
ment of the result Of the elections
last Sunday is having the effect of
postponing action by the United
States. While the election has been
repudiated here, the actual formali-
ties of proclaiming the result may
have some bearing on the situation,
for, while this government has al
ready refused to countenance the re-
suit, foreign governments have not
taken any position and it is felt in
many quarters that the United States
should await formal action by the au-
thorities in Mexico City before putting
on record its rejection.
President Wilson is considering
carefully suggestions from his adj
sers and it was said today that the
plan might not be ready until next
weeks cabinet meeting.

Where Sauce For the Goose Was Not
 Sauce For the Gander.
 In the early days of a certain club of New York. when it was rather harder sledding for the club than it is at the present time. in a meeting of the council the question came up as to the arrears of members dues. and the treasurer reported that one man was particularly recreant in this regard. It was in the winter. and the club was then maintaining throughout the day and evening beautifully heated and lighted quarters. At this time the only person In the club who ire quented it every day was this de linQuent, who, ln addition to doing large portion of his writing there. was accustomed to make considerable in roads upon the stationery of the club for home consumption.
 At the meeting of the council re ferred to there was protest against this state of affairs. and a determina- tiOD was manifest to put an end to it. and after discussion the secretary was instructed to notify the member In question that his name had been dropped from the rolls of the club The question then arose whether there was anybody else who was in ar. rears whereupOn the treasurer report ed that this was true of another mem ber.
 "Who can that be? Let us make an example of them both," remarked one member. bringing his fist down on the table for emphasis. The reply was that it was MT. K, the poet
 "Oh. heavens.' replied another We can't let X. go He's too important to the club"
 WhereupOn the resolution was then amended to read as follows: "Ite solved. that the secretary be instruct ed to drop the name of MT. Q from the rolls of the club for nOnpayment of dues and to retain the name of Mir. X for the same reason D. Century.

HELPFUL WORDS
From a Stafford Springs Citizen.

Is your back lame and painful?
 Does it ache especially after exer tion?
 Is there a soreness in the kidney region?
 These symptoms suggest weak kid neys.
 If so there is danger in delay.
 Weak kidneys get fast weaker.
 Give your trouble prompt attention.
 Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak kidneys,
 Your neighbors use and recommend them.
 Read this Stafford Springs testi mony.
 Mrs. William Irons, Furnace ave nue, Stafford Springs, Conn.,, says T can recommend Doan's Kidney Pills highly, for they have been of great benefit in our home. A mem Der of our family was bothered by his back and kidneys. This trouble con- tinued for long time until we for. tunately heard about Doan's Kidney Pills and procured a supply at the Eaton drug store. This remedy brought prompt relief and since then there has been no cause for com plaint. ''
 If your back aches-if your kidneys bother you, don't simply ask for a kidney remedy ask distinctly for Doan's Kidney Pills, the same that Mrs. Irons had-the remedy backed by home testimony. soc all stores. Foster -Milburn Co.,, Props, Buffalo, N. Y. ''i.-
