The mines are reported located a

position of the Mexicans stronger. are
known to be a source of worry to Gen

Considering Tampieo Incident.
With the virtual elimination of the
Constitutionalists from the proceed
ings, the mediators today began to
compose the differences between Huer-
ta and the United States that led to
the seizure of Vera Cruz.
CarranZa's elimination, at least for
the present, was determined upon by
the three ENJOYS. They informed him
that because of his refusal to agree to
a truce with Huerta they had can
celled their proposal that he name a
representative to cooperate in the
mediation negotiations. The media
tors, however. left open to Carranza an
opportunity to enter the proceedings
whenever he was ready to fix an ar
mistice.

One Sensation Missing.
The sensational feature of the first
Becker trial, too, will be missing. The
death in the electric chair at Sing Sing
prison on Easter Monday of the four
gunner convicted of the actual killing
of Rosenthal removed them from the
scene and prevented a repetition of
the drama enacted when they were led
into the courtroom to be Identified by
witnesses as the murderers.
For the defense, Martin T. Manton
persists in a policy of silence as to his
plans. II is said however, that Becker
is anxious to take the stand in his
own behalf and that Manton may per-
nit him to DO 50.
1t is expected that several days will
be occupied securing "a jury. The trial
will occupy three weeks or a month.

A HOME. RECIPE FOR
REMOVING WRINKLES

Who will blame the modern woman
for trying to look as young and at
tractive as she reasonably can? Why
should she be placed at q disadvantage
in numerous ways by wearing wrinkles,
il she can avoid these hateful marks of
advancing age? Few women. however,
know what to do to enectually rid them
selves Of wrinkles or sagginess. Most OF
the ADVERTISED preparations are unsatis-
factory and very expensive But a very
simple and harmless home remedy. which
where all the patent preparations fail.
Buy ounce OF powdered saxoiite at
any drug store. Dissolve the whole ounce
in a half pint of witch hazel and use
a wash lotion. The results are practically
instantaneous. Marked improvement is
noticed Immediately after the very fiISt
trial. Wrinkles and sagging are corrected
and the face feels so refreshed and
smug-like.-Adv. mi

4 PLEA FOR CHILDREN
LIVING IN COUNTRY

Extra is soon to have a new
school building. It is to be the feat
ure of the year in our civic dewel
opmemt. Practically all the prelimin.
airy arrangements have been made
and 1t is mrely a matter of a little
time until a magnificent new struct
nre Yill take the place OF the old
one. 10
It will usher in a BETTER day for
the children of Extra. They are to
have better educational advantages
than they have had in years gone
by for the new building is ito
mark. the opening of a new era in
the course is to be materially streng
thened; and with the improved IA
cilities, we shall know that our chill
dren are enjoying advantages not
surpassed by those of the
children of the largest cities.
1t means something for the young
folks; and to know that they are
being provided for in this manner
may we'll be a matter of pleasure
and pride to parents of Extra.
The Journal would be delighted !
to see thes advantages falling to
the children and young people llv-
ing roundabout Extra as we'll as to
those who live within the town. 1t
believes that country children sho'
uld not be- handicapped by deficient
education where this can be avoid
ed, and that country parents are as
anxious to avoid it as are those w'hs
have graded schools at their door.
The occasion for the foregoing is
the fact that the people of adjoln'
ing sub-districtts might as we'll EN-
joy the benefit of Extras good
schools in the future as otherwise,
provided consolidation could be eft
fected and the Journal is of the OPP
Union that this could be done. More
over it is apparent that the pres
ent is an auspiicious time for such
a sttep as proper provision for in
creased attendance be made in e.
recting the new building.
Parents in town and country a
like are spending and being spent
In their effortt OF give their child
<ren the best possible chances in life.
If the welfare of the children should
rule in this case, it is probable that
little time would be lost in effect
ing consolidation of the kind re-
ferred to above.
