In Memory.

The Death Angel visited the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. R. P. Rodgers Wednesday
morning, October Z, 1914, at six o'clock
and claimed their darling baby boy,
Wilburn Cecil, aged two years, six
months. and eleven days. He was i'll
only few days before the Savior called
him home. All that loving hands could
do was to no avail. God knew best, and
an angel band was incomplete without
little Wilburn.
Among his last moments he asked his
mamma if he might take the hammer
and some nails and play with his brother,
and said, "put on brothers. shoes for
my feet are cold" Gle always called
himself brother)
Oh, how father, mother and little
brother miss his sweet voice in their
now lonely home, for place is vacant
that can never be filled. But it is our
blessed Savior who doeth all things we'll
and can comfort us in such dark hour.
Dear bereaved ones, you have the
writer's heartfelt sympathy, but let us
not grieve as those who have no hope,
for we have the sweet assurance that
Wilburn is peacefully resting in the
arms of his blessed Savior, and may we
prepare and look forward to the time OF
reunion where partings are unknown,
for we know he will be there waiting to
meet and welcome you home.
ONE WHO LOVED HIM.

The Hunting Season.

The hunters will soon get in line,
Their turn will soon be here;
And every COW will wear a sign,
"Dont shoot me, I'm no deer!"

The hunter wise will paint sign
And hang it on his pipe,
With warning in this little line:
"Don't shoot me; Pm no snipe."
Youngstown Telegram.
Or, if he wears coat of gray
While he is running loose,
He'll wear tag that reads like this:
"Don't shoot me; Pm no goose"
Memphis Commercial appeal.
And when he goes out after ducks,
While in most serious mood,
This legend on his decoys write:
"Don't shoot me; I'm only wood. "

GRABBED ANOTHER GENERAL


Presidio. Tex. Jan. 1S.-Efforts of
the border authorities to round up
the Mexican federal generals who
fed OjiHaga, Mex, before the rebels,
resulted yesterday in the arrest at
Sanderson, Tex, of Gen. Jose Ynez
Salazar, who was taken from a train
while enroute to join the federal
garrison in Mexico, opposite Eagle
Pass, Tex. He is the seventh Mexi-
can general to come into custody of
the United States authorities.
Salazar who achieved distinction
thru his raids on the Mormon colo
nies in Northern Mexico, is wanted
Ct Santa Fe. y. NJ, where he was in
dicted on charges of conspiracy to
smuggle arms AMI ammunition into
Mexico. He was arrested in Ell Paso
but forfeited his bond. Orozco, also
under Indictment never was arrested.
Salazar was playing cards in the
train when captured. He at once ad-
mitted his identity and was taken to
Maria.
It appears that Salazar and Oroz-
co with small command after es-
Gaping from Ojinaga, rode eastward
along the Rio Grande TO point on
the border near Sanderson, where
the railroad is not far inland.

under the ban OF public disapproval.
While governor Of New Jersey he
obtained legislation prohibiting hold
ing companies in that state and per
mitting only such mergers of nom
competitive concerns as were sane
toned by the public utilities COM
mission.
An analogous function, it is under
stood, now would be given to the new
interstate trade commission through
its powers OF inquisition and inyesti-
gation OF what constitutes competi-
tive and non-competitive conditions
1t is recognized by administration
advocates OF this feature that there
are many cases in which a wide
sweeping prohibition Of holding
companies might prevent the organ
ization OF useful enterprises.
The supervision OF th2 issuance of
railroad securities is to be recon-
mended by the administration in the
and the issuance OF stocks and Sc
curities is closely involved with in
creases or decreases in rates and
that, through the Interstate Com
merce Commission the public would
be safeguarded. Close scrutiny of
bills aimed to cover this point is in
tended
1t has become apparent that the
president IS determined that the
Sherman antitrust law remain uRal-
tered and that new laws shall
strengthen it in certain particulars.
Reducing the "debatab7e area" OF
the Sherman law is now understood
Gs meaning the specific prohibition
Of written, oral or secret trade
agreements by which output is limit
ed, territory divided for monopolist-
&c control or other discrimination in
price fixing are practiced.

Foreign Office

London, Jan. 19.-The Outlook
contains an editorial bitterly attack

The transfer" the Outlook says,
has been semi-officially confirmed
at Washington, to which place We
now must turn for the earliest news
OF British diplomatic movements.
The report that Sir Lionel Gardens
transfer from Mexico wears a sinister
look. The probability is that the re-
place, but when the mind of the
public has been duly prepared for
the step We expect to find that our
apprehension of a most notable and
wanton surrender to an unprincipled
foreign intrigue is fully warranted
We assert that it will be absolutely
