Mexican Rebel Leader Weds.

General Villa, rebel leader, seems tc
be firm believer in the old saying
about faint hearts and fair ladies
Thereby hangs the story of how an
American girl is in line to become
the "first lady' of Mexico if the
constitutionalists are successful in
their efforts to unseat Huerta and
elect or appoint or proclaim Frances
ca Villa head of the republic.
The girl was cashier in the Ameri-
can Clothing Company's store at Tor
reon, when the town was captured by
General Villa and his rebel forces.
1t was case of love at first sight on
the part of the General. Fearing the
young woman might refuse his offer
of marriage, General Villa ordered
soldiers to surround the store in
which she was employed. The rebel
leader then sent for priest and or
dered the American proprietor of the
store to bring forth the fair one.
A marriage ceremony was perform
ed on the spot.
The young woman did not appear
to regret her capture. In fact,
she seemed to ike it and went through
the ceremony smiling.
When General Villa left Torreon to
capture Juarez and Chihuahua he
carried the bride away in the grand
est carriage he could obtain. The
vehicle was surrounded by mounted
soldiers and guard sat on the box
beside the coachman. The bride was
smiling.

A WOMAN IN
COMMAND.
GOVERNOR WEST TO SEND MISS
HOBBS TO coPPERFIELD
Executive Advises People to Watch
the Results, But Refuses to Give
Plans.

The Salem Journal gives the fol
lowing interview with Governor West
The District ATTORNEY and the
Sheriff of the county having reported
to me that they cannot do it, | shall
send my private secretary, Miss Fern
Hobbs to Copperfeld to close the sa-
looms" declared Governor West
Tuesday.
eff these men who are sworn to en-
force the law and have the great arm
OF the law back of them cannot close
the saloons, we shall see what a wo-
man can do.
"Miss Hobbs will go as a repre-
sentative of this office and / shall
leave the whole matter to her. 1t will
be up to her to close the saloon, and,
judging from her past work, 7 have
not the slightest doubt that she will
be successful. There will be no polit-
ical side to her work, like might have
been with certain persons who expect
to be candidates for office. -
Asked if it would not be danger
Gus for woman to order the saloon
owners to close their places and if
there were not a possibility, her order
would be ignored, the Governor said:
"You just watch Miss Hobbs and
keep your eve on Copperfield after she
arrives"
"Will Miss Hobbs enter the saloons
and direct the men in charge to
close ~ was asked
"I don't know. 1t will be up to
her, and, as | have said before, she
will close the town."
Asked if Miss Hobbs would stop at
Baker, assemble a company of sold
iers, and, as a second Joan of Arc,
march upon Copperfeld, the Governor
replied:
81 have said it would all be up to
Miss Hobbs and for you to keep your
eye on Copperield when she arrives.
She will show the men who couldn It
close the saloon there what woman
can do. She is now in West Wood
burn trying to find out if tile town
is legally incorporated in connection
with the saloon problem there, and
when she returns tomorrow, she will
De sent to Copperfeld at once"
While Governor West declined al
'olutely to give any further details of
lis plan to close the saloons in the
3akey County town it is regarded as
certain that Miss Hobbs will be pro-
'ided with all the protection which
night be necessary.
And suppose your private secre-
ary's order to close the saloons is
was a final question.
"lt won't be. But should it-you d,

The Telegram says 5000 dozen
fresh ranch eggs were received in
Portland Friday, and were immedi-
ately rushed into cold storage, while
the price of eggs in the market was
advanced from 40 to 43 cents. This
is simply criminal, and while under
our present legal system it is not
punishable, the gentlemen who are do
ing the cold storage act and holding
up the public are just as much rob-
bers as the highgwayman who holds
up his victim with a gun, and they
have not even the highwayman's
physical bravery. To make the pun
ishment fit the crime those guilty of
grabbing that 5000 dozen eggs should
be made to eat them and be deprived
of any other food until the last of
the eggs were gone.-Salem Journal.

History repeats itself. Harper's
Weekly has brought to light the fact
that our pure food law labels are old
and antique. In 900 b. C. the an
cient Hebrews made the wholesale
grocers and wine dealers of their day
put such seals and labels on their wine
and oil jars. They stated when the
wine was deposited in the cellars and
where the wine came from On the
oil jars the label "a jar of pure oil, "
with the name of the district pro-
ducing it. Seventy-fve of these rec
ords were found. They show that
even in the days Of King Ahab the
government protected the stomachs
of its citizens.
