HepOFt Of SoCFctaTy.
 The following is the report of the secretary of the federation, Miss Elm ma F. Filling:
 A year ago last fall certain existing conditions in oud own town and neigh boring towns were brought to the at tention of some of the women of this community, who met and discussed a solution of the problems presented. As a result of that conference. the evening school was started, the main tenance and support of which were soon assumed by the town. The suc- cess of this undertaking led to a feel ing that there are many community problems that may be solved by the concerted effort of the townspeople- problems social, economic and relig- ious, too, if we apply the test. "Inas- much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my children, ye have done it unto Me" Problems that it is impossible for any one church to solve and practically impossible for the united churches to carry to a success full issue. first because of lack of money to carry on the work, and second be- cause of necessity, the work must be nCn-Se -Sectar1an-
 In view of all this, a meeting was called at the home of Mrs. A. H. Arm ington Jan. 10. 1913, at whfch definite steps were taken to form an organ'za- ton to be known as the Civic fedora ton of Danielson. At later meeting a constitution was adopted in which the object of the organization is thus defined:
 Its object shall be to promote the welfare of the community. and to CO., operate with all other agencies that are working for civic betterment." Official Board.
 The following officers were chosen: President, Mrs. NJ A. Shumway: first vice president. Mrs. Rienzi Robinson: second vice president. Mrs. T. D. Hop dns; third vice president, Mrs w. E. Reach; secretary, Emma F. Filling treasurer, Mrs. A. H. Armington: ex- ecutive committee, Mrs. A. C. Bul Mn,

STILL WATCHING MEXICO.

Uncle Sam is going to stick around
for a while at Vera Cruz. And it is
just as well. The pacitication of Mex
leo Will proceed more Practically if he
is on the job.
When Gen. Huerta hit the exile trail
and left his friend Carbajal to hand
over to the revolutionists such gov
eminent as remained, everything look
cd serene. Gen. Carranza was 20
march into Mexico City amid the glad
"yivas' Of the populace. Carbajal
would receive him graciously and step
aside. The golden age would arrive
with the First Chief of the Constitu
tionalists.
But the First Chief seemed to think
that his first duty was to subject a
lot Of his enemies to the ley de fuga"
or shoot them against a wall and Gen.
Villa showed a disposition TO elbow his
chief out of the spotlight and appro-
pirate all the "vivas.' Uncle sam
thereupon found it necessary to take
both belligerent gentlemen diplomatic
ally by the scruff Of the neck and tell
them that if there was any more civil
war; or any political imprisonments
or assassinations, he would send 1OO,
600 soldiers into Mexico and take
charge of the reconstruction job HIM
self. Such, at least, is the story told
at Washington.
The threat was effective. 1t was
something that the Mexican mind
could grasp. And it will doubtless con-
tinue effective if Uncle Sam remains
in a position TO enforce it. When it
becomes plain that our sister republic
is really weaned from the revolution
habit, we can safely withdraw our
ships from Vera Cruz and our soldiers
from the Rio Grande.
