One Of the most necessary in
situations to a town Of any i'm
portance is a newspaper. II a
town had no paper, its citizens
would be eXerting every effort
to get one and offer liberal in
d~ucements, for outside Of the
churches and schools, nothing
is worth so much to a town as q
good newspaper, does it always
appreciate it? Does it cooper
ate and stand by it? Does its
business men patronize it, or
send away for printing, when
perchance sometimes it might
be saved on good sized order.
Do the citizens all subscribe for
the paper and not only get value
received but assist in the main
t9nance of a home concern that
is more beneficial than anything
else? Do the business men ad-
vertise, and not only get results
but, patroniZe the concern that
patronizeS them. People can
patronize a newspaper, and get
full value without offering any
donation, and assist in bringing
prosperity to an institution that
helps more than any other one
thing to bring prosperity to the
town. Had you ever thought of
these things, or is your only
thought of how | can get two
dollars back for everything |
spend in the town? No good
newspaper is an object of chart
ty and no man with any pride is
going to beg people for patron
age from that standpoint. If he
is any sort Of a business man he
is going to run a business on
business principles, and if he
can't do it that way he ought to
get out of business. Eek,

Hold Your Head

1t matters not what danger
%confronts an individual or q ma
ton, the safest course is never
to become alarmed; for the man
who is afraid can not act with
that judgement which shows to
he wisdom after the act is If
revocably committed.
Just now tie world Is facing.
perhaps, the most serious crisis
in its history. The signs Of the
the times point to a war invoIy-
ing the whole Of Europe. if not
the greater part Of the civilized
world. The only really great
nation likely to remain wholly
neutral is our own. Indications
point to this country as likely to
become the great diplomatic
clearing house of the world.
We have an opportunity to ad-
vance our influence as a world
power never before presented;
then it behooves our people to
hold their heads.
When the ship Opportunity
sails into port the boat Danger
is always perilously close in her
wake to prevent a landing. So
with us today. Our good ship
is nearly along side her pier,
but Danger, not the powerful
boat danger from across the seas
bat our own little craft, is close
astern.
Our people are thrifty and
lltely the elements have been
kind to US to the extent of Civ
ing US more of this worlds

past. Our banks are full Of
money to overlooking; our peo-
pie are we'll fed and we'll clothed,
blsiness is good throughout the
length and breadth of the land.
On the horizon is a single cloud,
financial fear.
Money is a timid creature.
Just now it is largely assembled
in the banks where it can do the
most good. The people have
accumulated it together and de-
posted it for the use Of others
and re-accumulated it again and
again until the accumulation
amounts to several times the
whole volume of money made.
Still it is more than safe with
the banks where it forms the
life blood of commerce, and
where it should stay. Not only
should those who have money
ahead allow it to remain in the
banks, but those who use money
should keep as close to the banks
as possible.

WOMAN LASS0ED THE HORSE
Baltimore Housewife VIII Hold Him

Baltimore, Md.-The cowpunchers
OF the wild and woolly west have
nothing on" Mrs. Mary Boyle of Pat
terson avenue when it comes to the
nimble art of throwing lariat.
Mrs. Boyle had spent busy morn
ing in her kitchen. Finding that she
had over four pounds of fresh dairy
butter left over she placed it on
platter in the yard to solidify, the heat
OF the kitchen having reduced it's con-
sistency.
Half an hour later Mrs. Boyle went
into the yard to get the butter, but,
like Old Mother Hubbard in the
nursery legend, when she got there
the platter was bare"
In place of the butter, however, was
large dapple gray horse, whose color
scheme and design suggested the now
almost extinct rocking equine without
which no children's nursery was at
one time complete.
The noble steed was engaged in pol
ishing the platter. But when he
CHANGED to look up and saw Mrs.
Boyle the equine hobo gave success
sion of loud and penetrating neighs
and turned tail.
mot so FAST" quoth Mrs. Boyle. A
moment later lasso improvised from
the domestic clothesline encircled the
neck of the dappIed steed, causing him
to rear on his launches. The unwill-
ing captive is being held as hostage
by Mrs. Boyle, who declares that she
will not turn the animal over to its
owner until she receives remuneration
for her stolen butter.

COLD STORAGE
TRAIL WARM
Officials Believe Developments
Will Lead to Prosecutions.
VIGOROUS PROBE KEPT UP.
Combination Alleged To Be Among
Commission Merchants and Pro-
ducers, Not Plant
Owners.

Washington.-Inve of the
cold-storage trust" by the Department
of Justice has progressed so far that
officials are confident they have found
trails which eventually will lead to
prosecutions in the courts.
Although the operations of the deal
ers, believed to be leaders in the com
bination, have been confined to sew
eral large cities, the department has
redoubled its vigor in the last few
weeks. Officials expect to uncover
evidence which will connect these
dealers and make them amenable to
the Sherman Antitrust act.
Within the last few days requests
have reached Washington from several
United States District Attorneys for
help to carrying on the Investigations.
Several special agents have been de-
tailed for this work. Their reports
probably will be made to Washington
in the next few weeks and the Attor-
ney General and his assistants will
determine the advisability of beginning
antitrust proceedings.
Although department officials are
unwilling to discuss the cold-storage
Investigation, it is known that the gen
eral impression that the owners of
cold-storage plants are involved in the
alleged combination is incorrect. In
only few instances do the owners
make use of their plants for storing
their own products. In practically
every case commission merchants and
producers themselves rent cold-storage
space. The combination which the
department will prosecute if sufficient
evidence is forthcoming will be among
the commission merchants.

THE PRESIDENT
VERY SECRETIVE
Still Considerable Mystery
About Lind'S Visit.
NO SHORE LEAVE FOR ENVOY
The President Declares Nothing
Specific Developed At the Con-
ference On the Cruiser
Chester.

Pass Christian, Miss.-With the de-
parture of the scout cruiser Chester,
bearing John Lind, the Presidents
personal envoy, back to Mexico, to
continue his observations of Mexican
affairs, the mystery which has en-
Veloped Mr.. Lind's visit to President
Wilson was only partially cleared.
Just why the nations chief execu-
tive decided not to permit Mr.. Lind to
have any shore leave" and took upon
himself the inconvenience of being
transshipped four times at sea, has not
been explained. President Wilson
volunteered no explanation, but one
OF the suggestions current is that he
did not wish the special envoy to be
subjected to the inquisition of news
paper correspondents. Another theory
is that the President desired to show
Mexico that there is no change in the
American policy and no actual inter
ruption of Mr.. Linds mission to
Mexico
The peculiar movements of the reve-
nue. cutter Winona and the long delay
before the President and Mr.. Lind
actually met were partly accounted
for when it became known that the
lack of wireless facilities on the reve-
nue. cutter had confused plans. When
the Chester reported her arrival, the
Winona's launch had to make a IS
mile trip to shore and back again be-
fore arrangements could be made for
the Presidents visit
The President was the only source
Of information concerning the confer
ence with Mr.. Lind He spoke of il
only in broad generalities, declaring
that nothing specific had been de-
veloped, and that nothing of any
definite character occasioned the
meeting. The President asserted that
he discussed no particular plan of
action
He referred to the conference as
get together talk" He explained that
although Mr.. Lind constantly had been
sending dispatches, a conversation of
a few hours had been deemed worth
more than weeks of telegraphic com
munication with the added value of
afforing an exchange of viewpoint re-
garding the situG ton.
President Wilson added that there
had been no special occasion for Mr..
Linds yisit-no advices, excitement or
new questions.
When asked if he was more hope
full for q speedy settlement of the trou-
BILE, Mr.. Wilson made it clear that his
personal view Of the situation had not
changed. The President has held that
the Huerta government is slowly being
crushed, not only by the constitu-
tionalist force, but through incessant
Isolation, and that inevitably it must
fall.
