President Expresses Satisfaction.

Before leaving Washington for his
Christmas holidays President Wilson ex-
pressed satisfaction with the operation of
the American Mexican policy. It Was
thought that his satisfaction was due
principally to the fact that the life and
property of Americans and other for
egners on the coasts of Mexico are well
taken care of by the presence of United
States warships and that the Huerta gov
eminent is constantly growing weaker.
Arrangements We're made by the Presi-
dent with the State Department To keep
him informed Of any important develop
ments in the situation. but ordinary hap
penings will not be communicated to him.
Secretary Bryan of the State Depart
ment is also to be notified OF any vital
changes in the Mexican situation, but
Acting Secretary John Bassett Moore is
thoroughly in touch with conditions.

That the present trouble IN Mexico is
the natural result of the retirement of
President Diaz was the opinion expressed
here today by a former prominent gov

Mexican question for many years. He
pointed out that before DiaZ went into
power there was a succession of revolu-
tions, which brought about rapid changes

ticaIlv predicted that the present trouble
will be solved satisfactorily, and that

reign of peace.

Bates County With Winning Col
Ors at the 48th Annual State
Convention of the Mo.
s. S. Association.

NJ Ne 1ACooNAAVAoAs
On Tuesday last week the Sunday
School forces of our state met in St
Joseph for their 48th Annual State
Convention which held over Wednes
day and Thursday. The weather was
all that could be desired. The attend
ance was great, there being thous
and people at the morning meeting.
The first service was characterised as
were all the sessions, with a deep
earnest spiritual interest.
Perhaps the most impressive fea-
ture Of the Convention was the meet
ing for men which was held on Tues
day evening. This was the Men S
meeting. Early in the evening the
men gathered, it was the clans gath
ering for moral, civic and spiritual
life. Soon the procession to Onward
Christian Soldiers began to move.
Impressive and inspiring was the
scene. 1t was estimated that 5000
men and youths were in line. Led
by a motor car followed by platoon
Of police, with banners awakened
great enthusiasm.
The delegation from Bates county
was not large, but it made up in quail
ity. One county had $50 present and
only so registered and paid the one
dollar fee. We had 20 and every one
paid up. Bates county was in the
drouth region this year, but we pledg-
ed SIS for state work, which was $25
more than last year and Bates was
the only county that paid its pledge
in cash at St. Joseph. When the hon.
ors for the first time in Missouri,
were called, for standard work, we
found Bates one of the six that were
honored counties. When the Exhibit
committee reported on city and coun-
ty exhibits, Bates county was the only
honored county. This was because
two Sunday schools sent in their ex-
hibit alone, the Disciple Sunday
school of Virginia and the Presbyter-
ian Sunday school of Butler. This
year a silk banner was given for the
first time to the counties who did the
best elementary work and Bates
county stood alone and took the first
banner ever given for county elemen-
tary work. We need not be ashamed
of the work done in our county but it
must be better in the future il we are
to maintain the first place, which is
ours today. Let every Sunday school
and Sunday school worker help along
in this matter. Will you not help in
this labor Of love? II is our duty to
help our county officers in every way.
Let US pay them up, praise them up
and pray them up. win you do II?

What is so easy to catch as a cold ?
that cause of SO many chronic dis
cases. among which we find consump-
ton and rheuma tfsm.
Refuse to become coId-ridden wo-
man if you value your health and
comeliness. It is quite possible TO
avoid colds if you are willing to take
ordinary precautions, against them.
Are you? Don't all say yes at once
Since you wish to be free of colds,
then see to it that you regulate your
clothing according to the changes OF
the weather.
Unless you have hardened yourself
to wearing gauze and Isle underwear,
invest at once in several pair of wool
en- undergarments and wear them I'M
til spring is with US. This is one
way of keeping disagreeable cold
at respectful distance.
AS many colds in the head are the
result of chilled feet, the winter girl
without first donning a pair of thick
soled shoes and won't say her nay
if she decides to wear inner so1es
made of felt and cork.
Tt is a practice of many co1d-free
women to take a certain precaution-
airy measure during wintry days. Sew
eral times a week they sponge the
chest, both night and morning, with
cold water, then rub the flesh dry and
massage in a little alcohol. Go you
and do likewise.
Muffling the throat in heavy furs
is frequent cause of colds, as the
throat becomes very sensitive, thus
falling a. ready victim to an annoy
ing cold.
Unless you want to be the unhap-
by owner of a red nose and swollen
