CARRANZA'S TRIUMPH

REBEL LEADER EXPECTED TO OCCUPY MEXICO
CITY WITHIN THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
HUERTA PREPARING TO FLEE
United States Will Recognize Rebel Leader Provided
He Agrees to Demands of the Ad-
miniStratiOn.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Convinced
that General Carranza's triumph is
near at hand President Wilson and
Secretary of State Bryan are consider
ing what policy to adopt toward Mex
leo following General Huertas elimin-
will soon be established at Mexico
City and the administration will ask
him to make his plans public, pledge
himself to restore constitutional gov
ernment, proclaim general armistice
to prohibit brigandage and set as
early date as practicable for real
national election.
If he does this, it is stated, the Uni
ted States will recognize him. The
impression prevails here that Presi-
dent Huerta has made arrangements
to flee when he recognizes his cause
is hopeless.
Events at Mexican Capital.
MEXICO CITY, Dec. 3.-Nelson
O'Shaughnessy, charge d affairs of the
American embassy here, today voiced
his regrets that Admiral Craddock, the
English naval commander in Mexican
waters, called on President Huerta
yesterday.
II don't believe the call should have
been made,' he said. 1T only raised
Huerta in his own estimation and
made the situation harder for every
body"
The Mexican congress today re-
ceived a note from the government of
Colombia denouncing the United
States for interference in Latin-Am-
erican affairs and urging Mexico to
resist it. Consideration of the mes
sage was postponed.

the grading and inspection of lumber

Aid for the Buyer.

It is greatly to the buyers advan-
tage to have uniform grades, for the
buyer can order certain grade with
know exactly what he is going to get.
This is very valuable to the retailer,
as he can not afford time to go to the
mill and pick his own lumber.
Some mills have raised their grades
or "sweetened' them, to get the bust
ness, but lumber inspection is rapidly
stopping this.

OHIO MOTHERS
PENSION LAW
TWO COUNTIES OF THAT STATE
ALREADY CONTRIBUTING TO
A LAUDIBLE CAUSE.
The General Law Throughout the State
Will Not Become Effective
Until 1915.

| DAYTON, O., Dec. 3-Ohio's Moth
er's pension law is working, but it's
only working in Dayton and Montgom-
cry counties. Mothers of this city and
all of Montgomery county are thank
ing Probate Judge Roland W. Baggett,
for he's the man that made it possible
for needy mothers to profit now, in
stead of waiting until February, 1915,
at which time Attorney General Hogan
says the newly exacted Ohio Mothers
pension levies can be paid.
All Must Contribute.
Here is what Judge Baggett has rul-
ed that property owners of Dayton
and Montgomery counties must do for
the mother: Every corporation that
has 100000 worth of property must
contribute $40 a year. Dayton is Gov
Cox's home county
Humanitarian Features.
Gov. Cox can talk a lot about the
humanitarian featues of the workman's
compensation LAW, anu every l1luS ne
says is true declares Judge Baggett,
but the mothers pension law is Just
as good in its sphere and Montgomery
county will be the first to give it
trial" The project was bitterly fought
by many whom Judge Baggett called
"tightwads and Knockers" But he
said to them:
Talked Straight Out.
NYes, you've got $4,000 worth of
property or more bringing you in a
good income and you're whining be-
cause you have to pay So a year to
fund that will enable us to keep more
than four score mothers and children
together You old whelps, you ought
to be ashamed of yourselves" That's
the way Judge Baggett talked to them
and they came through. And now
is the only county in Ohio
that's helping its mothers. Judge
says Dayton will continue to
do SO indefinitely regardless of the At
torney General or whatever the other
counties in the state may do. Now he's
going little further. He's going to
ask the legislature this winter to pass
4 measure allowing every county in
the state to issue short time bonds for
money to pay mothers pensions.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-During the
next four weeks Uncle Sans infant
prodigy-the parcel post service-wil
be called upon to perform herculean
task in connection with the transport
alton and delivery of millions OF
Christmas gifts. Postmaster General
BurlesOn, who is responsible for the
conduct of this service, has made ex-
traordinary preparations to prevent
congestion in post offices and to in
sure prompt delivery of these par
cells. Several thousand additional en-
ployees will be added to the force dur
ing the holiday season and the col
lection and delivery equipment will be
augmented wherever necessary. Every
possible effort has been made to
strengthen those parts of the postal
organization WHICH will be under the
today that with these special arrange
ments he is confident of the ability of
the service to handle successfully the
avalanche of parcels that will be
thrown upon it during the rush period
Public Must Aid.
The postmaster general is anxious,
however, lest the public fail to coop
crate with him in observing certain i'm
portant conditions necessary to enable
the postal authorities to effect the
timely delivery of Christmas gifts. In
order to secure this cooperation he has
caused to be printed for distribution
the country hundreds of
thousands of circulars and placards
directions for the proper

Christmas parcels should be mailed
early. For local delivery they should
be mailed not later than December 23d
and for out-of-town delivery as early
as possible, but in any event in time
to reach the offices of destination at
least two days prior to Christmas
Wrap Gifts Securely.
Christmas gifts sent by mail should
be wrapped securely. The containers
or wrappers should be sufficiently
strong to withstand the necessary
handling incident to transportation
and delivery.
Glassware, crockery, Christmas toys
easily breakable, glass framed pic
lures, ETC., should be carefully packed
IN boxes of metal, wood, leather, or
pastboard with sufficient
raw cotton, or similar mat
.er to prevent the contents from COM

The third weekly count in the big
auto and pony coting contests inaugu-
rated by nine Conway business men

The largest number of votes of any

PLAN TO BUILD
A MODEL ROAD
SURVEY BEING MADE
M'HENRY IN
TERESTS BUSINESS MEN IN
GOOD ROAD PROJECT.

County Road Commissioner w. r
McHenry and Engineer G.. H. Burr
are today making surveys and esti-
mates for a model good road extend
ing east and north from Conway, q
distance of about Is miles. Commits
sioner McHenry held conference
yesterday with number of local bust
ness men and laid his plans for the
road before them.
The highway to be improved is a
portion of the Conway and Beebe
road, a distance of seven miles east,
thence north to Rodents Mill and
across the Dunn hill. The latter is
the worst place in the road, and loads
between Naylor, Mt. Vernon and
many other points and Conway are
limited by the amount that can be
pulled over this hill, which now has
grades as high as Is per cent. A new
read is to be cut over this hill, and
Mr.. McHenry believes the steepest
grade can be reduced to about five per
cent.
It is not planned to build macad-
am road, but model dirt road that
will set an example for the entire
county and stimulate good road build
ing throughout this section. The high
way will be perfectly graded, and aft
erwards kept i'm good condition by con-
tinuous dragging with the King split
log drag.
Commissioner McHenry believes
that the work can be done for about
So. 500, in addition to- the money avail
able from the district road funds IN
the townships through which the roaa
will pass. Of this amount he says at
least 81 900 or $500 will be contrib
uted ir cash and labor by the farmers
and merchants outside of Conway who
will be benefited by the road, and 1t is
desired to- raise the remainder in this
eity.
Messrs. McHenry and Burr Will
make their report at another meetlhg
to he held early next week. The busl-
ness men present yesterday gave
much encouragement to the plan, and
II IL believed that work will be start
ed ON the road at an early date.

In all hotels, of course, bed-linen is

the sheets are only of ordinary length

occupant of the bed. Tubercular ba-
