EMPIRE STATE OF THE SOUTH
Texas Has a Fair Chance to Pass
Ohio. Illinois and Pennsylvania.

Ohio, Illinois and Pennsylvania.
What July 4, 1875, is to the United
States in general March 2, 1886, is to
Texas. On that day Texas, which
was part of Mexico, but which, peo-
pied chiefly by Americans, was as
alien to that country in ideas and
aspirations as 1t was in language, de.
clared its independence. And the an
nouncement was quickly put into con-
rete shape.
When Texas became State 1t
had only about 90 population, and
n the census OF 1850, the first in
which 1t figured it ranked as the
-wenty fifth in number of inhabitants
In 1910 1t had 3,S96,000 people and
ranked as the fifth State and grew
y rer cent. in the decade.
II promises to be the fourth State
i 1920, displacing Ohio, which holds
hat rank now and which has held it
or many years. BY 1880 it will, from
he recent relative rates of gain, run
ye-y close to Illinois, which is the
third State and may become the Sc
end State by 1910, Pennsylvania hold
ng that rank now and for many de-
cates BY 1860 1t promises to out
"trip New York and become the
Empire State Of republic which by
that time may have 200,000,OO00 of
ople.-Leslie's Weekly.

look Her at Her Word.

A woman came into the general
store with a jar of butter. She de-
sired to exchange it for another jar
of butter. In churning her butter she
had discovered a mouse in the churn.
1T didn't injure the butter" she
said to the store keeper, "and to any
one who did not know the circum-
stance it would taste all right"
Taking the woman at her word.
the merchant carried her jar into the
back room, transferred her butter to
another jar, and the gratified custom
er took back her mouse butter with
a thousand thanks for the accommo-
dation.

called from the curious "rod and

Of volumes on mathematics and
science. The gift was made by Sem

enriched the college and increased its
facilities. The collection is one OF
the most complete of its kind, and
was the property of the late Oren

accession is one of the most complete
astronomical libraries ever collected,

PLAN A PERPETUAL CALENDAR
All Nations to Unite In Working Out
an Idea Long in Minds Of
Many.

A conference of all nations will be
Eeld next summer at Geneva, Switzer-
land, to discuss suggestions for an in
ternational perpetual calendar. At that
time Leroy S. Boyd will present his
calendar, which has 13 months OF 2S
days each, making a total of 364 days
in the year. The 365th day is not in
cluded in any month, but will precede
the first day Of January and will be
called New Years day. A similar ar
rangement is made for leap years. The
966th day is not counted in any month.
but follows the last day Of December
and is called Leap Year day. The ad-
dltional month is called Solaris. and
comes between June and July. AS an
illustration, the year 1916 Is used, be-
cause, according to the present calen-
dar the first day of that year will be-
gin on Saturday, which would become
New Years day under the perpetual
calendar. That would make the fol-
lowing day, Sunday. be known as Jan.
/, 1916. Every month would have the
same number of days and every month
and every week would begin on Sun
day and end on Saturday. That would
make the same date in each month
fall on the same day of the week.
Such perpetual calendar would make
it unnecessary to have a printed cal
endar for every month, because the
days of each month are identical with
those of the first month. One Of the
benefits expected to result from a per-
petual calendar is that it will facili-
tate business calculations. Under the
new system a month will mean ex-
actly 2S days and not 30 or 81 days,
as at present.

The fact that it is almost impos-

Central and South American rulers
would be assassinated by persons de-
string authority, who would be able
to set up a de factO government after
the assassination, and demand recOg-.
milton by the United States.
Henry Lane Wilson just says that
the Huerta government is strong and
that HueTta has big army and that
therefore he should be recognized.
The trouble between the adminis-
tration and the Senate Democrats
probably will come with a demand
for immediate action in the Mexican
crisis by the administration from the
floor of the House.
President Wilson will not take i'm
mediate action He is hoping the
Mexican election will settle the revO-
lutionaries for all time.
The president also has been told
by army officers just what interven-
ton would cost. He knows it would
take at least five years even to sub
due the regular Mexican forces. He
knows that doing this would take an
enormus American army, and that
the subduing Of the regulars would
not be the end. There would be years
and years of guerilla warfare. He
knows that Mexican soil would run
red with American blood long before
the conquest Of Mexico could be COM
pleted. ..

Dr. Davidson dwelt at length on the

the efficiency of scholars and declared
that he stood ready to take the initiative
in carrying out any plans which might be
made looking to that end. DIR. Davidson
lauded the superior qualities of the pres
ent day instructor and the ethical spirit
that animated the body whole and
urged the formation of state and county
branches to assist the national organza-
ton.
That rural schools should be looked
after as carefully as those in large cities
was advocated in report submitted to-
day by DIR. Thomas &. Wood. Columbia
College, New York. and was prepared in
cooperation with the American Medical
Association. 1t urges better sanitation for
school rooms. The report points out that
the rural schools educate ~ per cent of

The report attracted considerable at
tention and the discussion which fol-
lowed it's reading was participated i'm by
leading educators from all parts of the
country.
