of the Middle West and the far West
paying tribute to New Hampshire
and New Hampshire coming back
with the out-and-out declaration that
she was tickled from the Massachu-
sets line to the most extreme section
of Coos county to have the represen-
tatives of more than a million farm
ers within her confines as her honor
ed guests. There was hit after hit
made in the speechmaking. Gov. Sam
uel D. Felker Former Gov. N. j.
Bachelor, State Master Richard Pat
tee and Mayor Hayes scored time and
again with the manner in which they
set forth their feelings as concerns
the big convention and the poy it gave
them to extend the glad hand
Gov. Felker touched a responsive
chord when in his speech of welcome
he said:
an the country towns, not in the
great cities, are the hope, the strength
and the glory of our nation. Here are
majority of the people, and there is
weight of sober thought and just
Judgment, and virtuous feeling, when
will serve as a rudder for the best IN
terests of the country, whatever
weather may betide us. Not like the
peasant farming of the old country
where they follow the lead of the up-
per classes without independence oil
thought or elevation of character, but
each being his own master and taking
the initiative stands forth for indie
pendent manhood.

More Than 100 Injured Near Eu-

Injured in Dangerous Condition.
Three Persons Killed When Freight Runs Them Down
As Leaving DeraIed Train Near Wooster, 0,
is kIlLED-MANY INJURED,

Eufaula, Ala, Nov. 13-Twelye per
sons We're killed and more than 1o
injured. some of them fatally, early
today, when three coaches of a Cen.
trail of Georgia passenger train left the
rails at a point II miles south OF
here and plunged down a steep en-
bankment. The train which consist
ed of five cars crowded with excur-
sionists, was en- route from Ozark
Ala, to Eufaula, where a fair is be-
ing held.
Among those, who escaped with
minor injuries was jefferson D. Clay
ton, a wealthy Albanian and BROTH
er of Congressman Henry D. Clayton
Of this state.
As the crowded excursion train
rounded curve, the three cars at
the rear, literally packed with pas
sengers suddenly left the track and
breaking away from the others roll
ed down the steep embankment. The
coaches practically were demolished.
Shrieks and groans of the injured
rose above the rending crash of splin-
tering timber.
Occupants of the two coaches re-
naming on the rails Immediately
hent their efforts to the rescue of the
hundreds caught in the tangled mass
of wreckage. Word of the disaster
quickly reached Clayton Ala. three
miles away and relief trains bearing
surgeons and nurses were immediate
ly dispatched from Ozark and Eufau-
Ia where most of the dead and in
jured, later, were taken.
Many of the victims were cared for
at Clarion, where the citizens turn
ed their residences into emergency
hospitals. So large was the number
of victims, however. that available

received important dispatches, but he
declined to say whether they were
from Mexico City or Nogales, the Con-
stitutionalist headquarters Later,
however, it was learned from other
high officials that the plan of financial
isolation was bearing fruit and that
the plan for Huerta's elimination was
being acquiesced in by foreign gov
ernments, especially some of those
who had previously recognized him
and upon whom he had come to rely
for aid. One of the most important
factors in the situation which caused
Washington calmly to await develop
ments was the report through author
itative channels that members of the
Huerta official circle We're now divid-
ed, some of them urging his resigna-
ton to avoid international complica-
tons. They were reported to be using
every effort to prevail upon him to
make Il formal announcement of re-
tirement at a fixed date.
The situation has progressed to the
point in the view of many officials
where even a definite rejection of the
American demands by Huerta would
not alter his future materially. Con-
fldence prevails that he is drifting into
certain bankruptcy and cannot resist
much longer the pressure exerted
against him.
Another influence that is expected to
contribute to Huerta's overthrow is the
extension of moral support to the Con-
stitutionalists. If pressed to the extrem-
ity, the American government will lift
the embargo on arms to aid the Con-
stitutienalists in composing the situa-
ton. but there is still hope among high
officials that such a step will prove un-
necessary.
The United States has offered no med
iation to the Constitutionalists but SIM

lection would be promised to foreigners
and their property and what would be

Never in the history of Michigan's
marinetfme existence has Lake Huron
been the scene of such succession

of the loss of life fix the total at $50

New Residents in Towns
BY MRS. FRANK LEARNED

ENACT. Judgment and discretion are
needed in order to make friends
Il and acquaintance in a new
place OF course when going TO live in
a strange town, where one has a few
friends. cards may be sent, with the
address. TO the friends who reside in the
town. as soon as one is settled. thus
giving them an opportunity to call.
II may be that bride is making her
new home in a town where her hus-
bands friends live They have re-
ceived cards for the wedding, or an

they have called and their visits have
been returned an interval of dullness
may follow. Ii a few little Inequalities
have been offered they may be returned
IN a simple way.
\ new resident must not make ad-
vances, must not seem in haste to make
acquaintance. must not make first calls
on old residents. or send invitations OF
any sort to them until there has been
an exchange of visits and some mark of
hospitality has been shown by older
residents.
IL is well for new resident TO make
allowances for an occasional breach Of
courtesy from well-intentioned persons
These have been known 70 send invita-
tons 10 strangers within their gates
without the preliminary OF a formal call
This has been from carelessness, or the
lack Of knowledge OF the laws Of Ell

from an old resident who has not called
need not stand too strictly on ceremony
If by SO doing the opportunity may be
lost Of meeting some pleasant friends.
But a second oversight of that sort,
from the same hostess. should not be
overlooked. and one may well wait on
ones dignity for the delinquent hostess
to call.
Rules which apply in cities are alto
gether different from the rules In couN
try neighborhoods or small towns. In
a large city it is not the custom ever TO
make first call on a new resident or
near neighbor. unless a friend in com
mon has requested one to do so. In
the country, or in small places, old
residents call on newcomer il It is
believed that an exchange OF calls would
be agreeable.
First calls should be returned within
week or ten days at least.
