SIMPLIFYING POSTOFFICE
BURGLARIES.

When the postmaster',s safe
is robbed, and the mail is scat
tered helter-skelter about the
premises, the first thing to be
done is to notify the Depart
ment, which dispatches an IN.
spector to the scene, and in the
course of time the robber is
likely to be caught. Sometimes
this process takes a number of
years. / the meantime the
postmaster and his bondsmen
are debited at Washington Fl, I
the few hundred, or thousands
of dollars, that there may have
been stolen. Hel etofore it has
taken a special act of Congress
to move the burden Of RESPONSE
bility for the loss from the post
master and his surieties. Fin
ally it has come to pass in this
year of 1914 that the Senate of
the United Slaies has provide d a
means by which the Postofiice
Department may reimburse The
postmasters; and should the
House concur the period of

ABOUT COCKROACHES

The following question aud
answer, printed ~ Wallace's
farmer, will be of interest to any
home annoyed with cockroach-
es:
"What is a good way to get
rid of cockroaches! / h ave
never been bothered with them
before, but now they SEEM to in.
crease right along in the cup
board"
The first thingto do in getting
rid of cockroaches is to give he
infested premises a thorough
cleaning, paying special atten-
tion to the cracks and crevices.
While this cleaning is being
given, all cockroaches found
should of course be killed. Then
the crevices should be filled with
putty. After a thorough clean
mg has been given, it is good
plan to spread poisoned bait on
the panry shelves. A good
bait is plade by mixing equal
parts of sweet chocolate and
6OraX. Another good one is
phosphorus paste such as may
ne bought at the drug store.
This is spread on soft bread and
placed along the crevices where
the reaches are hiding. The
poisoned bats usually do much
good, but are rarely completely
effective. In order to clean out
the premises quickly and thor
oughly, about the only thing to
10 is 10 fumigate with hydro
oyanic acid gas, or carbon pisul-
phide. Both of these gases are
poisonous, and had best not be
used except by experienced per-
sons familiar with their poison
lous properties.

1t all was that these 'unani-

secured when only a few tired
Senators wetei in their seats, and
it has been stated that they did
not realize what was being pul
over on them. However. this is
not going to occur again, since

THE PROBLEMS OF MEXICO

The characteristic Mr.. Docley
once related that Napoleon had
an army of ten thousand men;
he marched them to the top of
the hill; but who marched them
back again?" Naturally, cit
was Mr.. Dooley.' And just a.
bout in the same illogical mar
ner the armies Of the United
States have been moved to the
Mexican border, only to be
marched back again +" It has
happened many, many Tim es
since that eventful day more
than two years ago When Presi.
dent Taft 'made it clear that he
was getting ready to do some
thing" Army posts have been
deserted, and the soldiers after
a few weeks on the border have
been marched back again, y
and then some more! These
events speak for the patience of
the American people. In the
Congress discussion of Mexico is
almost taboo, and even the cliU-
les of the Administration policy
bride their utterancos. But
now legislation affecting the
Mexican situation is continually
coming up. A short time ago
Senator Ashurst proposed a barb
wire fence along the Mexican
border. One has but to recall
San Juan Hill to find the reason.
Now Senator Sheppard has a
bill for a government highway
along the Rio Giande, and of
course the object is to facilitate
the movement of troops. Still
another measure before Congress
provided for means to increase
the army TO a war basis. Uncle
Sam is gradually pulling at his
foot straps, but looks troubled,
and those at Washington who
can best observe how he chews
at the straw between his teeth,
know that he is hoping that he
will escape the unpleasant task
of intervening in Mexico.

Jack Wallace Defends Dead Friend.

Laurel, Miss, June 6 1T is a
peculiar as well as important de-
noument that two of our townsmen
should come to blows over the
character and manper of death of
Chief of Police Humphreys. which
occurred at Jackson a week ago,
yet such is the case. 1t seems
that an editorial in the Daily Ar
gus, alleged to have been written
by j. I. CAN'T, associate editor of
that paper, offended ]. w. Wallace,
a lawyer of the place who it seems
was warm friend and intimate
associate of the dead chief in other
days when both men were railroad
ing. Wallace replied to the edi-
torial and CAN'T by way of rejoin-
der had further ito say upon the
subject On the same line. and this
precipitated a personal encounter
in which Wallace struck Can't.
Wallace some years ago lost both
limbs and uses artificial ones, and
it is said that CAN'T refused to re-
turn the attack on account of the
aff1iction of his antagonist. How
ever this may be. it is fact that
the combatants were separated be.
fore serious injury resulted to
either. Special.

writer with the faith held in the

is better for his belief in a friend,
even though it be betrayed. Jack
Wallace's spirit was all right tc
the point where he resorted to per-
sonal violence. People need more
friends true in life or death: and
we need more people that can be
trusted always to do the honorable
upright thing.
