THE LURE OF THE NURSE.

"Millionaire's son elopes with 4
trained nurse" 1t is getting to be
familiar headline. And not mil
lionaire's sons alone, but the mil
lionaire's themselves. and statesmen
and learned pundits are taking
spouses from the ranks Of the nurs-
ing sisterhood.
In the great majority of cases 1t
is the wisest choice that the man
could make. There are the best OF
reasons for the lure of the nurse.
Woman's progress along the path OF
enlightenment and honor, her ad-
vancement to the position of an
equal and companion in life, has not
made her any the less a ministcrins
angel. On the contrary, science and
emancipation have given to man, in
the person Of the trained nurse. u
better ministering angel than he
ever had before.
The aching brain OF man, his few
cred brow. and still more particular
ly his disordered stomach, crave the
ministering angel still. AS COM
panion and n helpmate. woman is all
the more valuable II she knows how
to put man right when he feels
"seedy" and worn. The nurses
training makes woman patient and
steady. and heaven knows that u
wife needs to be patient and steady
nowadays.
The trained nurse. turned wife, Is
not, to be sure, Of the clinging vine
type. She does not lean on man
when he is unable to hold himself
up. She never contributes her hys-
terra to his brain-fag. She is self
reliant, self-contained. And in this
age. that is what a man wants wom-
an to be.
There Is absolutely no mystery In
the prevailing tendency of men to
carry off the best trained nurse they
can find. We may even contemplate
the possibility OF q completely eu-

committee. President Wilson let it
be known he believed the situation
in Mexico was encouraging. The
President thinks things are changing
In Mexico City, and that something
tangible will soon be known.
There was no evidence here to-day
that the Huerta government had
agreed to the American plan, but the
disposition Of the Mexican admins
tration to withdraw some of its pro.

official circles that the Presidents
message Is having Il good effect In
Mexico.

More evidence that the Buckhan.

side of the river as fast as it can,

western approach to the bore will
be over the property purchased from
the latter.
These purchases confirm the
promises of the company that it is
going to build into Fairmont. Meth
er does 1t do away with the story
that the main line will go east of
the city. Much property is under
option, but the Meredith holdings
are first to pass title.

Mrs. S.P. Hayes
:slD Died This
Morning
HIGHLY RESPECTED RESIDENT
OF BAXTER PASSES ON TO
GREAT REWARD.

Mrs. Carrie Hayes, wife Of Mr.. S.
Patterson Hayes, died this morning
at her home at Baxter, after an i'll
ness with blood poisoning.

taken i'll with tonsolitis which later
developed into blood poisoning. and
despite ali that medical skill could
do. she continued to grow worse un-
til this morning, when she died.
a specialist was summoned from
Philadelphia this week. and for n
time her condition seemed to improve.
However, the imp tovcmcnt was not
permanent.
Seven years ago. together with her
husband. she came to this section
from Shippensburg, Pa, to reside. and
during that time had greatly en-
deared herself not only to the citi-
zens of Baxter but to Fairmont us
well, where she was universally
known and liked She was consist
ent member of the Presbyterian,
church of this city, and was n woman
OF lovely character and disposition.
The deceased was daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. William McCulloch. of
Shippensburg. A sister, Miss Mary
McCulloch, taught last year in the
First ward schools of this city, ana
was reelected to that position for
the coming year.
Besides her husband, who is en-
plOyed with the New Central Coal
company ut BaXtCe. she is survived
by two children, Harper. aged five
years, and Eleanor, aged three years.
This evening at $50 o'clock, fu-
neral services will be held at the
residence at Baxter, conducted by
Rev. II. G. StoctZer. and the remains
will be brought to this city tollowiue;

the demand of the United States for
the elimination of Huerta would be
met by provision of the Mexican
constitution which makes a provi-
sional president ineligible for re-elec
ton. The Washington government.
however, desires assurances more
definite.
John Lind was early to-day in
structed to return from Vera Cruz to
Mexico City, If. in his discretion 1t
seemed advisable, after President
Wilson had received n message from
him which was described as very op-
timistic in tone.
While administration officials are
silent as to the next move, the gen.
eral understanding was that the way
now appeared to be open for the fur
tfer discussion of disputed points,
such as the elimination of Hucrta.
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan regarded the situation as en-
couraging and indicated that they
expected some change in the atti-
tude at Mexico City after the Prcsi-
dents address, before Congress yester-
day was digested.

PLENTY OF ENTERTAINMENT

With two circuses coming and the
Fair Association making preparations
for the biggest fair thath as ever been
held here, the prospects for entertain
ment are very bright.
Never before have the concessions
at the fair been so eagerly taken as
they have this season. The exhibits
are all to be made on a more elabo-
rate scale and the liberal purses in
sure the most spirited racing.
More attention is to be given agri.
cultural exhibits and in this part OF
the programme seems to lie the real
worth Of the exhibition. Farmers
may have their soil tested at the ta,r
this year by experts from the agri-
cultural experiment station of the
University and II the soil is not pro,
ducing as it should the reasons will
be given and the proper fertilizer
will be prescribed.

The county court acted wisely In
providing for the interest on the
road bond issues in the present levy,
and while these bonds have not yet
been sold it will make the sale more
sure since the interest has been pro-

There Is an assurance from local
people that in the event that the
bonds are not soon .placed to outsid-
ers local money will be put up for
the road improvements. There are
millions of oil and gas money in the
