Pounds and Weights.

Here is a question that will tax the
arithmetical powers Of youth. Sup
pose that for some reason or another
a shopkeeper who sold goods by pounds
and half pounds, but never In quaint
ties exceeding twenty pounds at time,
was told that he must transact all
this business with four weights only.
What must these four weights be? The
answer is half pound, one and a half
pound, four and half pound and thir-
teen and half pound. With these 1t
will be readily seen that any weight
from half a pound to twenty pounds
may be determined in pounds and half
pounds.

Will Go On With 1wo.Party
Agreement
UNITED STATES MAY OBJECT
In Which Case mediators May Agree
70 Receive constltutionsl'st
Delegates

Niagara Falls. Ont, May 3l.-fUpon
the Washington government depends
whether the mediators will receive
representatives OF the Mexican con-
stltutionalists. The South American
ENJOYS. II became known tonight.
have practically resolved TO go ahead
with their plans for a two-party agree
ment between the United States and
the Huerta government and for the
time being ignore the question of con
stitutionalist representation.
The only thing that might disturb
such a course would be a direct init
nation from the United States that
IL withhold approval OF the plans al.
ready outlined for a new provisional
government unless disposition is
promptly made of the subject of con
stitutionalist participation. The
Mexican delegates have had no con.
versations with the mediators on this
point.
Each side here is waiting for the
other to make the first move. The
Huerta delegates expect to receive to
morrow Gen. Huerta's approval OF
the essentials of the peace plan. to.
gether with his opinion on some
names suggested for the new govern
ment.
The American delegates received
much information along this line to-
day from Washington, but no intima.
ton as to how far they should press
the subject of the constitutionalist
representation.

MEMORIAL DAY
A Plea for the Proper Observance Of
the Occasion

Editor of The Banner; In Thurs
days issue of the Banner was a item
reading something like this: The dec
orations for last nights dance have
been left in Foresters hall for Mem
orial dance. The word Memorial is
used in the sense TO keep alive in
memory a certain event. To the G..
A. II. and their Auxiliary Memorial
day is a hallowed day set aside to
pay a tribute of love and respect to
their dead. Some are sleeping in
graves unknown. others beneath
ocean waves. some on our own hill
sides, all over this broad land Of
ours. On that day will float that flag
of our country, silently telling to all
above that little green tent here
sleeps one who gave YOU his best
life that you might enjoy free and
undivided home land.
AS loyal patriotic women the lad
les of the w. r., c. are trying to in
terest the children of our schools in
the sacred observance of that day, by
refraining from sports and amuse-
ments of all kinds that they may
have proper understanding of the
full meaning of that day. We would
never celebrate Memorial day for
our family dead by dancing or in
any other way by having good time.
Then let us remember our nations
dead in the same spirit. While we
strew bowers, breath prayers and
offer eulogies above them let us as
a people, revere and keep sacred that
day.
