Christmas Day falling on Friday
there has been a large demand made
to the Governor OF the State to declare
Saturday, December 10Th a holiday.
owing to the fact that many business
houses close at Il o'clock on Saturday
and that Sunday follows, the demand
is a reasonable and just one.
We are informed that the Governor
has made up his mind to declare Satur.
day, Dec. 26thssa legal holiday. This
will give to large number of en-
ployees in banks and stores a well
earned and much needed three day
holiday, and the Governor is to be
commended for his decision in the
matter.

IN MEXICAN BORDER fight
MEXICAN FEDERALS PURSUING
REBEL TROOPERS FIRED
INTO U. s. TERRITORY.
After Three American Horses Had
Been Killed, U. S. Troops Opened
Fire, Killing Several.

Eagle Pass, Texas.-Mexican feder-
al soldiers who attempted to pursue
with rifle bullets a defeated Constitu-
tionalist force escaping to the United
States and safety, met sharp resist
ance from United States cavalry Of
border patrol at McKee's Crossing,
above Del Rio, Texas. When three
horses held by the American troop
ers had been shot down the Amert.
cans returned the fire across the Rio
Grande and after the exchange of
shots, the Mexicans withdrew, bearing
with them dead and wounded. Z
No American was hurt. How many
of the Mexican soldiers were killed or
wounded is not known.
Official reports Of the occurrence to
Colonel Sibley, commanding at Fort
Clarke here, caused orders for all
available cavalry Of the border patrol
to proceed to Del Rio. One troop and
a machine gun platoon left Eagle
Pass. :.
The clash across the international
line was precipitated, according to Of
fetal reports to headquarters here, by
persistent firing of the federals at the
fleeing constitutionalists who had gain.
ed American territory and surrendered
to United States troops. Three horses
held by American cavalrymen were
killed.

TO REDUCE LIVING COST
FARM PRODUCTS TO BE CARRIED
DIRECT TO DOOR OF THE "
CONSUMER.
BY Parcel Post Postmaster General
Burelson Will Cut the Cost Of
Living.

Washington. = Preliminary steps
were taken by the ~postoffce depart
ment to perfect its plan for reducing
the cost Of living by having the par
eel post carry farm products direct
to the door Of consumer. Ten cities
were selected to begin the work Of
establishing direct connection between
producer and consumer, Postmaster
General Burleson having issued an or.
der permitting the use Of crates and
boxes for butter, eggs, poultry, vegeta-
bles and fruit shipped by parcel post.
Orders went to the postmaster at
Boston, Atlanta, st. Louis, San Fran
cisco, Baltimore, Detroit, Lacrosse,
Wis; Lynn, Mass; Rock Island, ILL.,,
and Washington, directing them ito
receive the names Of persons who are
willing to supply farm produce
"By the use Of the lists" said First
Assistant Postmaster General Roper,
"the city consumer a get In touch
with a farmer who will fill his weekly
orders for farm produce. The consum-
or will receive the product fresh from
the country, and the personal relation
ship established no doubt will tend
to improve the quality. The farmer
will be relieved Of carrying his pro-
duce to market, as the rural carrier
will make daily collections at the farm
er's own door of the retail shipments
to city consumers. q

Claimed Americans Fall to Recognize

Washington.-How the American

European countries had obtained vir.

ply, is graphically told in the annual
report of Joseph A. Holmes, director
Of the federal bureau of mines, made
public. The report tells in detail OF
the bureaus unsuccessful efforts to
obtain a quantity Of radium sufficient
to supply the twenty or more hospi-
tails Of the public health service and
serve in part to meet the needs of
the various cancer hospitals Of the
country"
rThere probably is not more than
thirty grams Of radium now available
for. use in such treatment in all coun-
tries" the report says. "Of this amount
there probably Is not more than two
grams of radium bromide In the Unit
ed States, in the hands of a few sur.
geons. Probably fifteen grams Of ra-
drum bromide was produced during
1912, and Of the fifteen grams nearly
Ills grams were extracted in various
