RETURNED MONDAY
FROM CALIFORNIA

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank L. Smith re-
turned home via the Santa Fe road
Monday afternoon from a two months
pleasure visit on the Pacific coast,
the greater partof which was sepnt
In Los Angeles. Long Beach and in
the surrounding country. Their trip
was a very pleasant one and they
were afforded an opportunity OF re-
newing acquaintance with many for
mer Canon City people now living in
southern California.
Mr.. Smith says the recent rainfall
in that section Of the country was the
q eatest known for many years and
much of the territory about Los An
geles was flooded in consequence.
Long Beach, according to Mr.. Smith,
was at times converted into an isl
and by a broad expanse OF water In
tervening between 1t and Los Ange-
les and travel from one city to the
other was either made by boat or
temporarily suspended. The average
winter rainfall at Los Angeles is
about ten inches. but this season it
was in excess of twenty-three inches.
OF more than double the normal ppre-
cipitation.
Mr.. Smith says II looks mighty
good to him here after his sojourn
on the Pacific coast and that to prop
eriy appreciate Canon City, its cii-
mate and surroundings. one should
go away and Try conditions in other
places.
In Mr.. Smiths opinion one would
have to trave far aheid to hnd its
equal.

spot developed today at Fort Bliss,
near Ell Paso, where five thousand
Mexican Federal refugees from Oil
maya and their wives are interned. A
large portion of the American garri-
son has been diverted to guard border
points and the Mexicans have been
left with insufficient guards. They
are confined only within a barbed
wire fence.
The details of campaign are to be
developed for an attack by land from
Ell Paso south, through the Chihuahua
route so often traversed by contend
ing Mexican factions in the last three
years. This is dependent upon the
decision by the administration that
actual warfare exists. This is sup
posed to be the forecast by the re-
establishment of the embargo on
arms.

The Newport plain talk. (Newport, Tenn.) 1909-1939, 1914-09-30
Young PeopleIAnd Schools

Parents, tell us what you think
of this.
Medical statistics are authority
for the statement that a large per
cent OF children attending school
are afflicted with curvature of the
spine or other bodily imperfection
which could be. easily corrected
by a simple method of physical
exercise.
And this brings to our mind a
suggestion for local application.
Why not let our school board,
or teachers, prescribe such a
course for the pupils in our public
schools? Fifteen minutes day
OF. time could be easily found, and
a careful system of physical exer-
else in.wnich all pupils be required
to participate Lwould create a
healthy circulation of the blood,
develop the physique, correct
mild. forms of spinal curvature,
and serve as general physical
tonic. And the mind wonld be-
come clearer and brighter and in
better form to sustain the strain
of the class room.
Training of the mind is essen
tial, but a proper regard for the
demands of the body is also neces-
sary. That sluggish feeling which
retardS the advancement of so
many pupils would gradually dis
appear under proper physical
exercise, leaving both mind and
body in a healthy state.
With all difference to our school
board and teachers, we make this
as a suggestion.
1t is worth trial.

Some Pumpkin Vine

The following clipping from an
Orleans, Ind, paper will interest
Plain Talk readers, inasmuch as it
concerns a former Cooke county
citizen:
Bruce Gray, one of our farmer
friends living on R. R. 8, has a
pumpkin vine on his farm that is
1888 feet long, of extra good size
and has 10 large size pumpkins on
it. The vine has been seen by
neighbors and is quite a curiosity
to all on account of its great
length. Mr.. Gray also picked up
in his corn field 10 ears of corn
that weighed Is lbs. This sounds
pretty good when two months ago
the farmers were bewailing the
total loss Of the corn crop"

head and a me too" he would be
today, in the estimation of the
ring, the greatest man in the
country, and the fulsome praise
and nauseating rot now beng
written by O. L. McMahan about
himself would be for Mr.. Boyer.
No, it is not so much what
Boyer did, but what he didn't do
that has so exaspreated the gang.
The trouble is Boyer has too much
sense for them. They want a tool
in the legislature, one who has no
mind or opinions of his own and
who will jump when they pull the
string.
Talk about C. F. Boyer selling
out! Has there ever been a more
brazen exhibition of cheek and
gall than when this bottle fed
statesman in the embryo, caught
red handed with 5000 of graft
money from a 5000 printing con-
tract in his pocket, yell that some
body had sold out?
The Newport Times seems to
have lost all sense of decency.
What a travesty on. respectable
journalism! This bastard sheet
which has become so rotten and
depraved under the manipulation
of this gang Of political free-boot-
ers that no one can be found who
is willing to daddy the coarse bill
lingsgate and disgraceful skull
duggery now filling its columns,

nuisance. FAIR PLAY.
