The Second Ward Mothers club
met Wednesday afternoon in their

attendance of enthusiastic, active

Inns was elected secretary and treas
urer. Plans were made for pur-
chasing playground apparatus and
TO complete payments on the repro
ductions of the worlds masterpieces
in art. A number of liberal cash
donations were made. The next few
meetings will be devoted to ways
and means for enlarging the mem
bership. Next month the seventh
and eighth grade mothers will act
as hostesses. Mesdames Burnitt,
Daube, Fraley and Rollins were ap-
pointed as a committee on enter
tainment for November.
A social session followed Prof.
Richards, Miss Nichols, Mrs. Burnitt,
Rev. hampton and the teachers made
interesting and helpful talks. The
following program was enjoyed:
Piano solo------Mis Landrum

Parade In Three Divisions.

The parade is to be in three divi-
sions, commanded, the first by Col.
c. G. Butler, who, besides being chair
man of the River Parade Committee,
is commodore of the ST. Louis Yacht
Club and a member of Governor Ma
jor's official staff; the second by DR..
e. NJ. Whitsett, commodore Of the Ca
rondelet Motor Boat Club, and the
third by Otto Larson, commodore OF
the South Side Motor Boat Club.
An invitation to serve on the com
mittee of judges has been extended to
the officers of the United States tor
pedo boat Somers, which the Navy
Department has ordered to st, Louis
for the weeks festivities and especial
ly the river events.

"The parade will start north at 2
Q. m, sharp, from the Free Bridge, all
boats entering the line in numerical
order, each in accord with the num-
Der assigned to it, and each maintain
ing its proper position throughout the
parade. The judges will award the
prizes by number. The parading boats
will turn at Mckinley Bridge and
move downstream, still in numerical
order, to the starting point (Free
BRIDGE, where they will disband,
those wishing to view the races to
anchor north of that bridge, on the
Illinois side.
Rowing races downstream between
the Eads Bridge and the Free Bridge
will start Immediately after the rear
end of the parade on the upstream
trip passes the Eads Bridge.
"AIl those desiring to enter the
parade should mail at once to the
River Parade Committee, American
Hotel, st. Louis, their name and ad-
dress and the size and style of their
boat. Each will be duly advised at
which of the several river clubs to
apply for the package containing the
decorations apportioned him.

Those desiring further particulars
as to the speed-boat races should COM
municate with DR.. Max c. Starkloff,
chairman of the Speed-Boat Race
Committee, 1919 South Broadway, st.
Louis. The Rowing Race Committee
may be communicated with in care of
the American Hotel.
Hoping for your earnest co-opera-
ton in the effort to make this parade
the most brilliant ever held on the
Mississippi, the great Father of
Waters whose magnitude and use
fulness the Indians perhaps appre-
ciated better than do most OF us OF
the twentieth century. many of whom
have allowed ourselves to drift away
from nature into maze of artificial
ity, believe US TO be,

Open to All Boat Owners.

The River Parade Committee has
mailed to river clubs from the Great
Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico the fol-
lowing communication:
ITO All Boat Owners:
THE parade of decorated river
craft, and the speed-boat and rowing
races Immediately following it, will
take place the afternoon of Sunday
Oct. II, 1914, and jointly will consti-
tute the grand finale of Yelled Prophet
Week The Navy Department will be
represented by the United States Tor
pedo Boat Somers. st. Louis, the
home of more boat owners than live
in any other city on the Mississippi
river, would seem the logical point for
the greatest parade in the history of
that river and such we hope this
parade will prove.
"Open, absolutely without cost, to
all boat owners, whether affiliated
with any club or not and whether re-
siding at st. Louis, Chicago, New Or
leans or any other Mississippi Valley
city, the parade will be representa-
tive, not only of st. Louis, but also
of the Mississippi Valley. Flags and
bunting with which to decorate will
be provided gratis by the Business
Mems League of St Louis, and many
valuable prizes, both club and indi-
vidual, will be offered by st. Louis

Washington, D. c., March 1.-THE
aggregate of our appropriations is aD-
palling and increasing by leaps and
bounds" declared Senator Thomas,
democrat, today during consideration
of a District of Columbia bill, and
added that it appeared to be the ten
dency of the senate to "go the republi-
can party one better" in eXpending the
public funds.
Let me say that the total of ap-
propriations for this year will be

Chicago, March 11.-Longer school
days with sessions throughout the
summer months are urged in an arti-
Gle in the current number of the
School Review, issued today at the Uni
versity of Chicago.
Moral and scholastic delinquency
would be prevented and economic
waste in scheol management would be
eliminated under such a plan accord
ing to the article.
"City children are becoming more
and more helpless as the result of the
idleness imposed upon them by city
life says the article
The boys, at least, are expected

VILLA GIVES LAND
To LOYAL REBELS
FEDERALS ARE SURROUNDED BY
CONSTITUTIONALISTS ARMY AT
T0RRE0N-DIAZ RETUNS TO
WASHINGTON

Chihuahua, Mex, March 1.-THE
constitutionalist military government
today issued a decree of distribution Of
public lands including those confiscat-
ed, among soldiers of the present rev.
olution, disabled veterans of the Ma
dero revolt and widows and orphans o:
the two rebellions.
In advance of a survey it is esti-
mated that each beneficiary will re-
ceive a farm of sixty-two acres. The
decree safeguards the gifts with pro-
visions that they shall not be subject
to execution for debt, nor can the
owner sell the same within ten years.
While those who have suffered N
the wars will be given first choice in
the distribution, civilians have a right
to apply.
The decree provides that no person
with resources equal to one of these
farms shall participate in the plan.
Should an owner of farm fall heir
to another, he must dispose of it
within. a year There also viii be a
distribution of town lots.
The decree excited great interest
here as it is the first attempt to ap-
ply the rebels plan for solving the
land problem.
The commissioner from General
Contreras, who is at the head of the
rebel forces at Pedricena, state of
Durango, conferred with General
Villa today about the Torreon CAM
paign. They said the federal garri-
son of Torreon is about 1000 men,
and that the place is surrounded by
rebel forces. 1t has no outside com
munication, they reported.

WOULD INVESTIGATE
COTTON EXCHANGES

Washington, D. c., March 11.-Chair-
man Henry of the house rules com
mittee will propose at meeting Of
the rules committee tomorrow morn
ing that joint committee Of the two
houses of congress make thorugn
during the present ses-
sion of the New York and New Or
leans cotton exchanges, and of the
Chicago Board of Trade.
Mr.. Henry's idea is that the joint
shall employ experts and
take testimony on the question wheth-
er the grain and cotton exchanges as
and conducted are or are not
a scheme for robbing the farmer. He
believes cotton exchange is device
for robbing the producer.
