ENJOYS CONCEDE

Are Most vitality Interested In Guar

cation Of Property by the Invad-

Wlashington.-The peace delegates
cess of their mission, which, it is
learned, Is the broad question of paci-
flying all of Mexico.
The three Mexican ENJOYS have lit
tie idea how long the arrangement of
settlement will keep them at Mag
ara Falls, but they are confident their
trip will not be in vain. The Mexican
delegates are said to realize that the
present administration in Mexico
City is fast crumbling and that the
choice Of some one to succeed Huerta
is inevitable.
But conceding the retirement of
Huerta, the delegates are said to be
most interested in the vital question
of what is to follow, what guarantees
are to be obtained against the posi-
BILE confiscation of property by the in
vading constitutionalists, protection
against conditions of anarchy and
what kind of government will be
stable and will obtain worldwide rec
OBHiJlOn.
On the other hand those close to
President Wilson and Secretary Bryan
assert that the question which is to be
mediated is no longer the failure of
Huerta to salute, or the offenses COM
mitted against the dignity of the Unit
ed States, but the broad question of
pacifying Mexico.
Persons close to the Mexican dele
gates emphasized that the three men
who will represent the Huerta govern
ments are not Huertaistas or the rep.
resentatives of any group of persons,
but are representatives of the best
interests of the people in the terri
tory controlled by the federals.
Although technically the delegates
are dealing with an international
questionable differences which arose
with the United States out of the
Tampico incident--privately they ad.
NIT that before them is the problem
of the actual pacification of Mexico.

SCHOOL NOTES.

There seems to be u great deal of
misunderstanding as to the time OF
opening of schools this year. The
facts are these: the board of edu-
cation set September Il as the date
on which the schools should open,
and drew up the teachers contracts
accordingly. State Superintendent
Churchill set September IA, Is and
16 as the time of the Morrow coun-
ty Teachers institute. and as teach
erS are required to attend the in
stitute, there can be no school Oh
those days. Last year the board of
education declared Thursday and
Friday of the County Fair week as
holidays. If it does SO again this
year, there will not be schaal on
those days. This takes up the entire
week of the regular school time.
Whether or not the board of educa-
ton will declare the last two school
days of next week as holidays, l do
not know, neither is it very material
to parents or pupils as several days
are always taken up organizing the
classes for the year.
While l am writing this l should
like to say few words ia patrons
and prospective pupils. Despite the
fuss and feathers" Heppner still has
one of the best organized public
school systems in the state of Ore
gon. The State Superintendent ad-
mitS this. and the board of educa-
ton, the city superintendent and the
teachers do not propose to turn aside
in the matter of keeping the schools
up to the high standard they have
had in the past. In this effort every
patron and friend of education is
asked to cooperate. The board of
education has exercised the greatest
care in choosing the corps of teach
ers for the coming year. Every one
is teacher of experience and it eth
er College or a Normal graduate
They come with the highest recon,
mendations of success in the profes-
sion. This then, fulfills the first
requisite for successful admins
tration of any school system-a corps
OF experienced, competent and en-
thusiastic teachers. The rest resides
with the patrons. Suffice it to say
in passing that the outlook is very
good for the most successful and
prosperous year in the history of the
schools, and we take this opportun-
ity to invite all pupils of school age
without regard "to race, color OF
previous condition of servitude" to
come. Come and fill up the grades
as we'll as the high school. We are
particularly proud of the high school
it is not large yet, but it is growing
in numbers as we'll as in equipment
and studies offered. A short time
ago a Commercial course was added
and it is a hummer. There is no
better equipped course of its kind Of
fered in the state. Chemistry and
German were added to the regular
high school course. This year we
shall offer Biology, giving an entire
year to this interesting and valua-
BILE science. AS time goes on others
will be added. Surely there is some
thing in these high school courses
that will interest every young man
and woman of high school age. Come
and inquire about it. If you cannot
take a full course, take part of a
course, but do not let this exception
ally good opportunity to obtain bet
ter education pass by

BELGIAN TALES OF HORROR.


The stories that are coming from
Belgium are sufficient to horrify
mankind. On their face they are
I very persuasive. They abound in
particulars. Names, places and de-
tails are given with such care as to
give an air of verisimilitude. There
are two reasons why they can not
be accepted without question. One
is that there has been nothing in the
history of the German race to lend
credibility to stories of such atroc-
ities In science, commerce and re-
ligion they have been leaders. In
education they have ranked at the
top Their care of the weak and
helpless is famous. 1t is inconceiv-
able that their soldiers should have
committed some of the offences
charged by the Belgians. Painted
savages would have shown more mer-
cy than these enlightened soldiers, If
the reports could be believed. The
other reason is furnished by exper-
! ience. 1t is but a few months ago
that America was shocked by stories
of the Colorado home guard shooting
women and children and setting fire
to their bodies. This charge was
made as definitely as those lodged by
the Belgians against the German in
vaders. There was the same atten-
tion to detailed description. We lat
er found that these women and chilo-
rem were concealed by their friends
and that the militia did not know
that they were there. The fire was
an accident. A court-martial
brought out evidence that exonerat-
ed the soldiers.
In times of war stories of cruelty
are common. Even when they are
supported by affidavits they are open
to suspicion. We have learned that
ex parte testimony is seldom reliable
even in civil matters concerning next
door neighborS, men and women who
have been friends for years. Our con-
stitution recognizes the fact and
guarantees that a defendant shall
never be denied the right of facing
his accuser in person. If this is true
with neighbors of the same race and
country, it should give us pause
about hastily accepting charges made
in the heat of war.
Each nation is trying to enlist the
sympathy Of the world. The United
States is the greatest neutral power
and all the warning nations are max
ing special efforts to win our friend
ship. This would in a measure ac-
count for the stories of atrocities
which the Belgians are circulating.
1t is reported that they will even
send ENJOYS to the United States to
make formal protest.
On the other hand, the Germans
are striving to retain our respect and
good will and all questions of hui
name conduct aside, know that such
violation of the rules of war would
injure them beyond repair. There
have been previous to this some lurid
reports which were subsequently
found to be baseless. The report Of
the summary execution of Social
list leader because he refused to take
up arms for Germany is striking
example. We afterwards learned
that he was not executed, and that
he had not refused to fight for his
country. In the light of these facts
we should suspend judgment on the
Belgian tales of horror until both
sides are presented.

DO YOU HAVE INDIGESTION?

Indigestion causes more disease, 1t
shortens more lives, than everything
else of which we know. Indigestion
not only rapidly wears out the stom-
ach and intestine, but it undermines
the health and opens the way for
serious diseases. Two persons out Of
every three have indigestion, either
easily recognized stomach indigestion
or the commonest form, intestinal in
digestion with gas in the bowels and
often constipation.
You can cure yourself of indiges-
tion with the foods which you usual
ly have on your table simply by cook
ing them differently, by taking care
as to what foods you eat together and
by eating more of some foods and less
Of others. For information by DR..
Daniels as to just how to go about
this, send ten cents, stamps or coin,

Bldg, Denver, Colo.
