Ed MaI'oy's Tale Of Canada.


Canada, arrived in town last Satur.
day morning from Las Animas. for
few days visit with his distinguish
ed relative. Jack Dcvine. known In Of
ficial circles As the ex-village police
man. and until very recently under
sheriff OF Otero county Mr.. Malloy
has been down to Las Animas. where
he vas born and raised. communing
with the scenes of his childhood. and
visiting his parents and brothers and
sisters. who are still residents of
that section.
MIR. Malloy has been a resident Of
Nanton In the province OF Alberta.
for eight years. and notwithstanding
the fact that they xhiver and freeze
while watching the fireworks on
the Fourth OF July. and wake up in
the morning during the winter time
with the bed clothes frozen stiff
around their neck. from the atmos.
pheric exhaust of their lungs. he
says he likes the country.
Tue thermometer at this time
ranges around forty below zero
at Nanton. and the Inhabitants
are kept pretty busy keeping the
fire going In order to obviate the
calamity OF freezing to death. Soft
coal only costs $3.50 per ton in
Nxnton. and you have to burn more
OF II than you do In La Junta at
3s.75 per ton. and burn II the year
around. too.
There are some advantages In
Nanton. however. I, Is located about
100 miles west OF Medicine Hat where
they have the stronges, natural gas
wells In the wide world Medicine
Hat is a city OF about $4,000 popula-
ton. and the municipality owns three
natural gas wells. The town has
grown like a mushroom Of late as
1t offers for a period OF ten years
free power. light and heat from her
municipality owned natural gas wells
To all industries that win locate
there. II now has wooden. flour and
planning mills. rolling mills. glass
works and cement block factories.
and more new industries coming In
every day. The rate In Medicine
Hat for natural gas is : cents per
one thousand cubic feet To man.
OF ten years. and II cents per 1000
cubic feet to just ordinary consum-
ers. II costs about $50 per year
TO heat and light an eight room
hous. The streets OF Medicine Hat
are the best lighted. night and day.
OF any city In the whole world. There
are four lamp posts to each block.
and municipality owned natural gas
Is so cheap that they do no, go to
the trouble To turn out the street
lights In the morning. after the night
before. but let them burn all day.
Letting them burn all day Is cheap
.r than hiring a man TO go around
and turn off the gas
A big pipe line for natural gas
has just recently been laid to Nan.
ton and that burg will soon have all
the advantages Of Medicine Hat.
They expect to pipe natural gas
from Medicine Hat to Winnipeg. n

NEUTRAL WATERS.

River Stretches Where Fishermen Only
Waste Their Time.
According to old fishermen, there is
what might be called neutral ground,
or, rather, neutral water. in rivers.
where there is no use of trying to make
a catch unless it be that some fool fish
with piscatorial brainstorm snatches
bait as an insane human might grab
a redhot stove.
This neutral water is the part of
the river where its flow encounters the
saline impregnation of the salt water
Of the bay or ocean into which it final
ly empties. With the ebb and the flow
of the tide the ssAt water of the bay
runs up into the river for miles, and
on the reverse the fresh water de-
scends several miles again to the bay
leading into the salt sea
and fresh water points. however, that
very seldom shifts. Around this mid
way shad and blue and other salt wa
ter fish, if they visit at all. will hover
on the ocean side. On the fresh water
fringe will loiter such fish as inhabit
currents that are devoid Of the saline
ingredient II the fisherman happens
to cast bait in this neutral zone he is
not likely to get either one kind or the
other.-New York Sun.

MEMBERS OF BOARD
REFUSE TO RESIGN
Medical Men Reject Cover
nor's Suggestion That
They Quit.

At a special meeting called yester-
DAY at Indianapolis members of the
state board of medical examination
and registration failed to act upon the
suggestion of Governor Ralston that
they resign in order to give him an
opportunity to appoint an entirely new
board. Nothing but routine business
was transacted according to DR.. S. G..
Smelser of this city member of the
board.
1t is understood that the governor
told Drs. A. C. Kimberlain w. N. Wis
hard and d. B. Meyers who called on
him few days ago to protest against
the re-appointment of DR.. Smelser and
DIR. John F. Spaunhurst that he would
make the re-appointments If the other
four members of the board would re-
sign. The governor has indicated that
he would request the designations. The
terms of Dr. SmeIser and DR.. Spaun-
hurst expired month ago but they
will serve until their successors have
been appointed and qualified
When asked today II the matter was
broached at the meeting yesterday, DR..
Smelser stated that nothing was said
regarding the action of the three indi-
annapolis physicians or about the prob
able action the governor may take in
the matter.

HARMONIOUS CLOSE
Disturbing Questions Passed
Over and 1914 Meeting
Places Chosen.

ATLANTA, Ga. May 81 The
Presbyterian church. South. today Sc
lected Kansas City for its 1914 Assem-.
bly,. When the three general assem-
blies OF Presbyterians met this fore
noon the tense situation over heresy
charges had been relieved by the
adoption of a motion to table the mat
ter until next year. Speakers at the
southern assembly charged that the
federal council OF the churches Of
Christ in America has a social service
program that conflicts in several par
ticulars with the doctrine OF the
Presbyterian church The southern
assembly was urged to withdraw from
the council and may do so before the
debate is closed.
An abrupt close to the Union Semi
nary fight was brought at the north
ern assembly by the motion of DR..
Mark A. Mathews, former moderator,
viii h referred the three reports TO
new committee of seven members To
report at the next assembly. A reso-
luton was passed in the closing min
utes of the session of the United
Presbyterians calling upon President
Wilson TO prevent the wearing of any
distinctive religious garb in any of
the government schools. The 1914
assembly of the United Presbyterians

RESERVE BANK PLAN
Is Advocated BY Senator Ow-

(National News Association)


WASHINGTON, May 21.-A system
of reserve banks throughout the Unit
ed States to operate in such manner
that financial panics will be impossi-
BILE was advocated today by Senator
Owen of Oklahoma, chairman of the
senate banking and currency commit
tee during a visit to the white hous-
"Panics arise primarily from money
stringencies at certain points," said
the senator. "a number of reserve
banks equipped with reasonable sur
plus would do a great deal toward pre-
venting any stringencies, particul0
at crop moving times, when immedi-
ate money is most necessary. The Sc
curity for this financial aid should be
primarily the credit of the United
States; secondly the power of the re-
serve banks and thirdly, the notes of
the farmers themselves which could
be converted into gold on short no.

PRESIDENT GAGGED
A SOUTHERN JINGO
Rep. SiSson Told TO Put Soft
Pedal on Speech on Japan
eSe Question.
CNatlonal News Associstion)


WASHINGTON. May 21.-President
Wilson again disregarded all pre-
cedent today in exercising what
amounted to censorship over speech
making in congress. Learning that
Representative Sisson of Mississippi
intended to discuss the Japanese sit
uation and bearing in mind the Mis-
sissippian's inflammatory utterances
several weeks ago on the same sub
ject, the president sent for the con-
gressman and asked him to detail
what he proposed To say. He was re-
quested to eliminate any portion of
his speech which might tend to in
flame or arouse any feeling on the
part of Japan.
In his previous speech Sisson de-
clared that he would rather see war
with Japan than to surrender any
state rights. Today the Mississippi
congressman assured the president
that he had not intended to commit
any diplomatic breach and in his fu-
ture speech proposed to discuss mere
ly the legal phases of alien land own
ership.
The Mississippi congressman is not
ed as one of the most fiery orators in
the house.
While Sisson in his former speech
raised the cry of war, he was active
in his opposition to the bill appropri-
ating for two battleships the last ses-
sion of congress.

TRAVELS OF A COMET.
Last Seen In 1881, II Is Due to Visit
Us Auain In 2256.

last oecu ~ 1901, lS IL Due 10 vtStt
Us Again In 2256.
There is a comet that comes within
sight of the earth every $50 years. Its
tail is millions of miles in thickness
and many more millions of miles in
length. 1t was first seen, so far as
history records, 1,769 years before the
birth Of Christ. In few weeks 1t
faded from the sky, only to return in
1894 and 619 B. c. The year that
Julius Caesar died-44 B. Cit came
again, returning in 531 and 1106 A. D.
The last time 1t was seen was in 1851.
when Sir Isaac Newton beheld it and
discovered that comets are kept in
their orbits by the sun, the same as
the earth and the other planets.
Over two and quarter centuries
have now passed since the comet dis
appeared. Even If it has been travel
ing no more rapidly than the earth
goes around the sun its enormous bulk
has been shooting through space at
the rate of about ]. .500. 600 miles day.
Yet in the year 2256 this same old
comet that was already well known
visitor when it looked down upon the
deathbed of JuliaS Caesar will again
come within sight Of those human be-
ings, yet unborn, who will then in
habit the earth.
Talk about railroad train going
halfway across continent in three
days and reaching its destination on
time! What is such performance as
compared with that of comet that
makes trip Of $4,000. .ooo, 900 miles
in 575 years and keeps so closely to its
schedule that it always bursts from
the darkness at the moment when the
astronomers expect it?- New York

ton, and would repass the sundry civil

Mothers Day
May II

The second Sunday in May has
been set apart as Il day in which
we honor the mothers, not only
one own mother but all mothers.
We pay tribute to our military,
naval and political heroes-this
comparatively new holiday is de-
signed to pay tribute to mother
hood
My son, never 90 anywhere
You would be ashamed to take
your mother never associate with
anyone you wOuld not wish to in
troduce to your mother never say
anything You would be ashamed to
say to your mother, nor listen to
stories YOU would not wish her to
hear, y is the farewell caution Civ
en- to many a boy on leaving home.
No boy ever went aStray who
needed this caution. A good
mother 5 influence is not for a day
only. it is forever. Children may
disredard her wishes while she
lives, but when she is gone, when
her loving heart no longer finds
excuses for their transgressions,
then her influence becomes strong
er, reaching out from the grave
to purify and uplift, to strengthen
the weak impulses and broaden the
life.
The observance Of Mothers Day
is indicated by wearing a white
carnation in memory of the mother
who has passed on, and a red car
nation for the mother who is liv
ing. Other white flowers are use
to mark the day, but the whit
carnation is the Mothers Day en-
blem.
Mothers Day is the day on
which the absent children should
write long letters home to their
parents, letters that contain more
than How are your am ali
right. Love to you and father.
Good bye - But don't write to
your mother, or anyone else, dur
ing a fit of the blues. The cause
of depression doubtless will have
disappeared before she receives
your letter, and she will be troubl-
ed without cause.
On Mothers Day, honor the
best mother that ever lived, your
own, by wearing white carna-
ton.
