VALUE OF VISIONS.
Dreams of the Thinkers Are What
Lead the Way to Progress.

Dreams of the Thinkers Are What
Lead the Way to Progress.
There is certain little Scripture
that is not noticed much. 1t is this,
Where there is no vision the people
perish" That would be true even If 1t
were not in the Bible. 1t is true of an
individual as well as people. There
must be a hope, an aim, an upward
look, a realization of better things
ahead to awaken aspiration and quick
en- endeavor. So many people don
have this. They live from hand to
mouth and never look out from where
they are standing. That's the animals
way. They don't dream. They have
no visions.
There are communities sometimes
that have no inspiring outlook. They
settle down to amusements, prisons
politics, sports and the passing show
but never unfold the future and see IL
it the nobler life. They have nothing
to live for but today. There is no in
SEPARATION in tomorrow. They buy an'
sell and talk and laugh and eat anC
drink and go to bed, and tomorrow i
! the same. There is no vision, no higl
mark to press forward to, no heayenl,
| vision, as st Paul expresses it.
Now, there is something in a vision
or the Bible would not say the lack q
1t would destroy a people. This lac
constitutes the dry rot we hear of-n
incentive, no life. no hope. And whe
an individual gets that way and see
no visions he is dead duck.-ohl

WOMEN PLAY PART
IN MEXICAN WAR
MANY OF THEM ARE ACTING AS
FoRAGERS FOR THEIR
MEN.
ACT AS SCOUTS FOR ARMY
Many of the Women Of Mexico Joined
Ranks Rather Than Stay at
Home Alone.
ACT AS SCOUTS FOR ARMY

Del Rio, Texas.-Women of Mexico
are playing a prominent part in the
warfare of the southern republic, eth
er as "soldaderas," foraging success
fully for their men, or occasionally
as actual fighters.
This is true probably because the
present revolution has touched indi-
viduals and the homes more intimate
ly than any other conflict of recent
times. Nearly every woman in north
ern Mexico has seen warfare, shorn
of its theatricality, because it entered
the home and left death and want.
Many of these women have left their
homes rather than to remain alone,
and few of them have gone under
fire to get revenge.
In the siege in progress at Monte
rey, valued member of Gen. Pablo
Gonzales Constitutional command is
Senorita Maria Sanchez, said to be a
wealthy Castilian whose brother was
shot by Federal irregulars. She gave
up the comforts of luxurious home
and begged for permission to replace
her brother.
A few months ago at Moncloya a
son of Sonora Pimental of that city
he'd been sentenced to be shot. The
mother got into, ttilS. Federal iail by
stealth and stabbed two of the guards
and rescued her son, escaping to the
Constitutionalist headquarters, then at
Hermanas, 20 miles away.
In the Federal ranks there is told
the story of the wife of an officer who
led the Constitutionalists into an am
buscade at Puerta Carmen, and,
though fired upon by the maddened
troops, galloped through the lines to
her husbands side.
When less than a month ago the
Federal army of General Mas occu-
pied the Constitutionalists' provisional
capital at Piedras Negras, on the
American border across from Eagle
Pass, the "soldaderas" played an i'm
portant role in the bloodless capture.
A small group of them pitched their
tents on the overlooking hills two
days before their men arrived, acting
as lookouts. When the army arrived,
fully five hundred Of these soldier
women accompanied it, most of them
guarding the wagon trains, which their
skill as foragers had stuffed to burst
ing. A few hours after the city was
occupied the women spread supper
for the entire army in the open
plaza.

AN ACCOUNT OF
MRS, HUOSON'S
UNTIMELY DEATH

Following is account given
the death of Mrs w. z. Hudson.
by the Albany, Mo-, Ledger:
Another tragic ueath was ad-
ded 10 Albany's history last sun
day. when Mrs. VIM. p. Hudson
sent bullet through her heart,
killing herself almost instantly.
The tragedy occurred at the homo
of her parents. Mr.. and Mrs. /.
M. Robinson. Mr.. Robinson and
her daughter, Miss Anna. and
little grandson VIM. Hudson, were
at church. leaving Mrs. Robinson
her aged grandmother, Mrs. Hess
and daughter, Mrs. Bessie HLd-
son, at home. Mrs. Hudson re-
marked that she would go up stain
and write some letters, and in n
few moments the report Of a pis-
tol shot sounded through gtho
house.
MIRA. Robinson ran up stairs and
found her daughter lying on the
floor gasping for breath. Mrs.
Robinson's screams aroused the
neighbors, W. p. Stspleton being
the first Srrive, others coming
soon after. Mrs. Hudson was
found lying full length upon the
floor, with life extinct.
The deed of self destruction was
deliberately planned, but the only
reason that can be gived for it is
i'll health and dependency, for
apparently Mrs. Hudson had much
in life that Was worth living for.
The pistol used was a 30 cali
bre, and was one Mr.. Robinson
kept about the house. Mrs. Hud.
son barred her left breast for tbs
deed, placed the pistol against the
body and G6red, the bullet pene-
trating the entire body, The
flesh was powder burned. She
dropped the pistol into the floor
register and took probably twelve
or fifteen steps before falling.

Parcel Post
Rate Changes

Washington. Dec. At deVe.
lops that the proposed futher
modification of the parcel post
rate, if the Interstate Commerce
Commission gives assent, will re-
suit in a far-reaching reduction of
the whole rate scale. The new
scheme embodies three proposals,
first to increase the weight limit
for the first two zones, covering
radius of 100 miles, from twenty
to fifty pounds; secondly, extend
ing the twenty-pound weight limit
from the first two zones to the en-
tire country, and thirdly, read.
justing the whole sscsle of rates.
When the parcel post law was
passed. with its scale of rates and
its zone policy, it was found that
on all weights over seven pounds
and beyond the fifth zone, the ex-
press service could easily compete
with the parcel post. A number
Of inequalities in rates and dis
tances also developed in the course
of the first years operation of the
parcel pest, and the new rates. it
is understood, will not only recti-
fly the inequalities, but will re-
duce all the long-distance and
heavy weight rates now in force.

SOMETHING'S THE MATTER WITH

A few days ago. when the whole

Of the argument.

afford such roasting and drying up

WOULD MEAN DISASTER.

The report sent out from Washing
ton under the name of Geo. W. Sum
nicrs. Democratic press agent, to the
effect that Governor Hatfield is get
ting cold feet" and will not call all
election in the first district to fiji the
vacancy to be cam cd by Inc rcsigna-
ton OF Congressman Davis, would
seem to any thinking person to be
only political yarn circulated for
the sole purpose of fomcnting strife
within the Republican party. Gov
'crnor Hatfield is certainly wise
enough In the political game to un-
dcrstand that such Il step would mean
ultimate disaster to the Republican
party In the State. The idea convey
cd in the Washington report is that
this action would put an end to the
friction between the Republican and
Progressive parties and give time HI,
patching up the differences. Just
the opposite effect would result and
this the Democratic press agent well
knows. 1t would be the beginning OF
a revolution in politics and il the
voice of the voters were to be silcnceh
for two years the storm that would
break forth when ibis pent up wrath
was let loose would sweep everything
before it. 1t Is better to face such
issues as We have before us than to
create more dangerous one. The
more attempts that are made to sup
press a political movement the larg-
err 1t grows and the more Sympathi-
zcrs IL cnlists. This rule would not
be reversed in this case and Govern
or Hatfield must have thought 50
when he gave out an interview Ia,r
Saturday stating that he knew OF no
reason why an election should not be
called. When informed of the re-
port originating In Washington the
governor said:
II know no reason why special
election should not be held. | have
not been advised that Congressman
Davis has resigned and therefore can
not discuss the matter fuSthcr."
AS II result Of the bribery cases there
are now five counties and dclcgat"
districts without representation in
the legislature and 1t is very probable
that elections will be called TO fill
these vacancies at the time the call Is
issued for the election in the First
district.
Another very good reason why the
Governor will call a special election
is that the law directs that within
ten days after he Is notified of Il
