HUERTA AND CARRANzA
HOLD CENTER OF STAGE
Developments at Tampico Awaited
With Interest-Mazatlan's
Fall Denied.

While the diplomatic and military
phases of the international drama
compelled much attention. observers
have turned to developments in the
Huerta-Carranza strife. Constitution
alists express confidence that their
troops will drive the federals out OF
Tampico in the next three or four days.
That development. 1t was hoped In
some quarters. would relieve tension
over the menace to foreign property in
the Tampico oil district.
Fighting at Mazatlan Continues.
Reports that Mazalan on the wes
coast of Mexico had fallen into the
hands Of the constitutionalists were
denied today in a message received at the

in response to query sent last night by
Secretary of the Navy Daniels. Admira
Towards reply read:
"Mazatlan not fallen. Fighting still
continues between federalists and consti

Reports that San Luis Potosi haG
been taken by rebels were not credit
ed by CarranZa's Juarez agents They
expressed belief their forces were no,
ready for a decisive attack on thai
southern gateway to Huerta's capital
Denies He Quarreled With Villa.
Incidentally Gen. Carranza tele.
graphed a denial here of the reported
quarrel between himself and Gen
Villa over Gen. Choa, governor of the
| state of Chihuahua. Gen. Carranza re.
ported that Gen. Chao was with hin
in Torreon. and not in prison. as was
reported. and was still Governor Of

THE climate in Mexico is terribly hot

Miss Hardy belongs to one of the old

MUST CHANGE ELECTION PLAN
Now Way OF Voting Calls for Re
modelling Of Ways Of Counting

It 10 somewhat unusual to send
voters from one town to- another to
vote, but that Is what occurred ut
Enterprise Tuesday. In the after
noon a rush to the polls seemed 10
indicate too big q crowd at closing
time and q possibility that there
might be some difficulty in all the
voters casting their ballots. SO the
election officials requested q num-
Der Of the voters to so to Detroit
and vote there. Twenty or more
complied. AS Detroit and Enterprise
are in the same township. the ac-
ton was entirely legal.
That there will be change made
In the manner of handling the new
ssachusetts ballots seems certain
from the confusion and length CT
time required over the state before
the final returns could be obtained.
Election boards were swamped. Abb
lene, the second ward election off
Gals were at work about s., hours.
For this they received compensa-
ton OF So each. The law specifies
that the members OF election boards
shall receive SO for the first 200
votes counted and one cent each Tor
all votes over 200. The judge who
receives the ballots from the coun-
ty clerk and returns them to the
court house receives 81 additional,
80 that it will be seen that the sec
ond ward board more than earned
fits pay.
Various methods have been sug-
gested for tightening the burden, as
under the present system 1t will re
difficult to secure officials. One
way that would help would be to
increase the number OF voting
places. Junction City, experiencing
the same trouble as did Abilene, al
ready has decided to add more vot-
ing places.
Another method suggested is that
Of having an extra set Of officials
who should go on duty at noon and
at once begin q count Of the votes
cast. Absolute secrecy would be es'
sentionaI for. the success Of the lat
ter method. When the fact Is con-
sidered fhat4al. vote Of 100000 for
the entire state has been the aver
age figure ana that the total vote
in this,--aa off year, will not fan
far short Of 100000. the need OF
changes is readily seen.

THE CHARM !. II. !. !.
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-

The experience of Mothe fhood is a try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred is prepared or url-
derstands how to properly care for her
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism united for the
trial of strength, ard when It is over
her system has received shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and a distinct
change in the mother results.
There Is nothing more charming than
ahappy and healthy mother Of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard TO health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence Of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with ann
ple time in which TO prepare, women
win persist in going blindly 70 the trial

upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, most valuable tonic and
