YANKEE OFFICER KILLS MEXICAN
 ON THE BORDER

EI Paso, July 31-Corporal Smith of Troop A, Second Cavalry, shot Ismael Monteros, a soldier of Col Toribio Ortega's command, said to be Ortega's personal servant, at Tornillo Ford on the Rio Grande, yesterday, as Mon teros was attempting to cross the in ternational boundary fully armed and on horseback, according to reports re- ceived by Gen. H. L. Scott today. The corporaPs bullet cut furrow in Mon tero's scalp and felIed him from his mount. The Mexican has been attend ed by the army surgeon at FNabens and is being prepared to be taken pris- oner together with five other Mexi- cans, and three wagon loads of pro- visions.
 Monteros is said to have drawn his pistol on the American soldier. Jesus Rodergiuez Mexican federal prisoner at Fort Bliss, was shot and killed by Emilio Romero, another federal, in the detention camp yesterday after- noon. The prisoners quarreled over a woman.

Skin Of Abdomen
 Makes Him A Hand

Baltimore, July 31-With the skin of his own abdomen ingrafted upon his right hand, Dr. Frederick H. Baetjer, an X-ray expert, is recovering from a remarkable operation at the Johns Hopkins hospital.
 To save his hand the four fingers of which were aInputated a, year ago, following an infection caused by K rays, the stubs of the amputated ffn- gers were scraped; then flap of skin was raised from the left side of the abdomen and turned back. This skin was cut in the shape of the maimed hand, just as child cuts figures out of paper. The injured hand was then bound tightly to the wound the flap of skin fitted carefully over the finger tips and the whole bandaged.
 Then the work of severing the ends of the skin attached to the body was begun. It is nearly finished now, and it is believed that pr. Baetjer's hand will be sound and whole save for the missing fingers.

lam Bennett. Her paternal grand
father, Stephen Bennett, a native of
Connecticut, served in the Revolu-
tionary war under General Washing
ton. He married daughter of
Nathaniel Gates. The Gates family
was one of the first to locate in
Palmyra township Pike county, but
during the Indian trouble they were
driven away and forced to return to
Connecticut. To Mary Gates, grand
mother of Mrs. Killam, is due the
credit of discovering a band of Tory
deserters, who were hidden near the
Paupack settlement, preparing an in
suit on the unsuspecting settlers.
She spread the alarm, and the band
was captured.

LIBRARY WORTH sELF-DENIAL

An inexhaustible mine of pleasure
is open for the boy or girl who loves
good books and has access to them.
Without effort on the part of the
parent they are kept off the street
and from the company of the idle
and vicious and are storing their
minds with useful knowledge, or are
being taught high ideals and noble
purposes. Thus they develop into
men and women who are an honor
to their parents and worthy citizens
of our great republic.
Such is the product of Free Pub
lie Library. Is it not worth the
small pittance it will cost? Many a
laboring man spends more money in
a week for tobacco than the main
tenance of the Library would cost
him in a year. Is not the education
and the development of our bright
boys and girls worth little self-de-
nial?
We all desire that our children
shall have better opportunities than
we have had, and not have to work
as we have worked. Here is an op-
portunity to help them help them
selves, which is the very best help
that can be given any one. Let's be
boosters and help ourselves, help
our town, and help our boys and
girls by unitedly supporting the Lii
brary proposition.

GREATEST CANAL RECORD.

Last year there passed through
the 800" Canal, connecting Lakes
Superior and Huron, 72,500,0O0
tons of freight in 10000 cargoes.
This is not only the greatest record
for the canal, but for any in the
world. The Suez Canal is by far the
largest in length, cost and traffic of
any of those concerned in ocedn-go-
ing trade, but its traffic three years
ago was less than 100000 tons.
If it were possible to assure the
Panama Canal any such business as
that at the 500 it's cost would be re-
paid in a few years at the toll rates
which have been promulgated. OF
course, nothing of the sort is expect
ed. The 500 Canal derives it's i'm
portance from the fact that it con-
meets the great wheat fields, iron ore
beds and lumber districts of the
Northwest with the East by means
of the Great Lakes, and the return
cargoes of coal and merchandise are
heavy. The growth of this traffic in
recent years has been extraordinary,
and for 1912 the increase was al
most forty per cent. over 1911.
1t is a humiliating fact that the
shipping of our Great Lakes is alone
of a size which conforms to the
wealth and dignity of this Nation.
Only about eight per cent. of our
foreign commerce is borne in
American bottoms, and it has been
decreasing steadily for many years.
No foreign ships may engage in the
coastwise trade, but the latter is not
nearly so large as might be suppos-
ed, owing to the cheapness of rail
way transportation. 1t was to give
this branch of our shipping chance
to develop that Congress made in its
favor the Panama Canal toll exemp-
tion which Great Britain opposes and
which we are asked to arbitrate.
That American energy, construc-
tive ability and seamanship are ad-
vanced to the best rank is shown
by the prosperity of the shipping
industry on the Great Lakes. 1t
could be advanced on all the seven
seas if Congress would provide leg
islation by which it would be possi-
BILE to meet the competition of ships
built at low prices and navigated at
cost impossible by Americans

TALK ON THE BOY
AND THE FARM,

President Taft talked to delega-
ton of Ohio boys who had partici-
pated in a corn growing contest.
They were farm boys and he recon-
mended to them that they stay upon
the farm and try toi utilize to the
fullest extent the opportunity it Of
fers.
The President intimated that sue
cess upon the farm leads to political
preferment and public honors as
surely as does the other road, and
he pointed out the Importance of the
farmer in our scheme of life and the
satisfaction to be derived from a life
devoted to farming.
That is the sort of advice which
is needed. The back to the farm"
movement is good. What is more
important, however, is a stay on
the farm movement" There would
be farmers enough if it were not for
the lure of the city that draws the
farm boys away from the soil.
Farm boys should stay upon the
farm, where they will not only be
more successful themselves, but will
be of greater aid to the nation.
These are the days of great re-
wards to the farmer who will learn
his business and follow modern sci
entific methods.

to distance, from 5 cents to 12
cents. Many dealers who went to
make the cost of sending packages
to the different zones the same will
send a uniformly smaller package.
One instance is a sample package
of dates which the packer has been
sending out for 10 cents. 1t costs 5
cents to mail, and the packer puts 5
cents worth of dates in it, so the
only loss to him have to cut the
package down to two-thirds of it's
old size in order to send it under
the old rate, or cents for four
ounces.
Samples of coffee, cocoa, shaving
soaps and shaving cream will have
to be cut down to below four ounces
in order that the sender won't have
to pay the pound rate.
For those whose samples have
weighed more than ten or twelve
ounces the parcel post will be a
great advantage, as they can still
send their samples to distant points
for IL cents, which is the pound
rate, and can save money when they
send the same package to points in
zones nearer home.

MAIL SAMPLES PLAN
HURT BY PARCEL POST
Zone Rules Increase Rates on Pack
ages in Many Letter Order
Lines.

The parcel post may have one
result which may or may not have
been foreseen by the makers of the
bill; it will cut down in a large
measure the sending of samples
through the mails. Some mailers of
samples will have to stop sending
them altogether, while others will
have to cut down their size to avoid
losing too much money.
The average sample which has
heretofore been sent out was, as a
rule, as large and heavy as the maxi
er could afford to send. In hundreds
of different kinds of manufactures
these samples have weighed five or
six ounces, including container, and
the sender has been able to mail
them for a cent an ounce.
Now however, under the parcel
post rate the rates for sending sam
Piles of this size will vary, according

SUICIDES ON THE INCREASE.
1 ,55S in Austria-Hungary in 1912
Hanging Favorite Method.

Vienna Statistics printed last
week of the suicides in Austria-Hun-
gary in the year 1912 show that
they numbered 1,55S, as compared
with 1,406 in the previous year.
The increase was mainly among fe-
males. There was also a constant
increase in the number of child sui
cides, the youngest of whom was a
girl of 8. Alienists ascribe this un-
happy feature to some fault with the
system of modern education and
mode of living.
A curious but not a new fact in
regard to these suicides is again en-
phasized, and that is that the bright
summer months seem to be more
conducive to suicides than the win
ter time. June, July and August
head the list for the number of
cases of self-destruction, while the
fewest number occurred in February
and December.
The faVorite form of self-destruc-
tion seemed to be hanging, of which
there were 633 cases, as compared
with 233 by shooting and 10S by
poisoning. The most frequent mo-
tives assigned for the acts were i'll
health, disappointment in love and
privation.
Seventeen children killed them
selves because they failed in their
work in school.
