OF Another Denomination.

Little David always had lived with
his grandfather and aunt, who were
Presbyterians of the dye known as the
genuine old vegetable indigo, which
never fades-only softens beautifully
with great age-and the aunt had not
reached the softening age.
For some time she had had doubts
about the desirability of a certain boy
as a playmate for David, and one day
she questioned the child.
David, what sort of boy is Tom
my Dean?"

ooh, he's all right"
Indirect questions brought only
tactful and evassive answers, and
finally she asked:
"But, David, have you ever heard
him use bad words-words which l do
not allow you to use ?"
After a moments hesitation David
replied, with little sight:
"Well, auntie, it's like this, you see.
Tommy's always gone to the Metho-
dist Sunday school,"

Scab is one of the most widespread
of the serious potato diseases. Inju-
ries of various kinds may produce a
roughened surface, but it is safe to
say that most of the excessive curf-
ness, commonly known as scab, is due
to the attacks of a minute parasitic
fungus Ca microscopic plant).
The fungus lives many years in the
soil, and if potatoes follow potatoes
year after year, it will be found inn
possible to secure clean tubers even by
use of treated seed.

Goodbye, old brindle, honey scrub,
The times demand a better breed,
You eat enough but here's the rub,
You never pay for half your feed.
But pray remember as you go,

You broke my purse long, long ago,
So goodbye, brindle, we must part.

RELATION OF ROADS
 TO RURAL SCHOOLS

The rural population is more willing to support better schools to-day than at any previous time, It is being realized that all edu- cational activities or agencies must be more or less correlated. and, more than all else. that they must be made accessible to the children. In many counties where bad roads prevail. most of the schools are of the antiquated one-room variety. They are usually located along bad roads which, during the winter, when the schools are usually is session. become so nearly impossible as to make it difficult for the chil- dren to reach them. This condi- tion causes irregular attendance and restricts the educational op- portunities of the child. Not only this, but it often impedes the economic consolidation of these smaller schools into larger, stronger graded schools, with high-school courses. directed by a competent principal and corps of teachers, according to the Office of Public Roads.
 On the other hand, in counties which have improved their rords the schools are easily reached, the average attendance greater. the efficiency largely increased, and economic consolidation made possible. Regular atten- dance at school means consistent and regular growth of both school and pupil, and consolida- ton of schools means a max imum of efficiency at minimum of cost. It is also noteworthy that there is a marked tendency for the consolidated school to be- come the social and intellectual center of the community. Most modern rural schoolhouses are so constructed as to serve the com munity as gathering places for various kinds of public meetings. and where vans are used to con- yey the children to school during the day they are frequently pressed into service to haul the

FOUR INDIANS ARE
 GUILTY OF MURDER

The most important case tried at Prescott last week at the Uni ted States term of court was that against four Navajo Indians, charged with the murder of a medicine man of the tribe. A young woman of the tribe was sick with pneumonia and the medicine man was called to treat her, but failed to accomplish a cure. After her death. accord ing to the custom of the noble red man when a patient dies. it was decided to kill the doctor. '" Four of her nearest relatives were selected to do the job, which they dId with neatness and dispatch and an axe.
 After his death the body was permitted to remain unburied and exposed for several days un- til some other Indians came along and gave It burial. The case was given to the jury on Satur- day evening. but 1t was not until Sunday morning that a verdict was returned, finding the Indians guilty of murder in the second degree. Judge Sawtelle pro nounced sentence on them Mon day afternoon. giving each of them ten years in the federal prison at Atlanta, Ga.
 One other prisoner, convicted of selling whisky to an Indian, also received a sentence to the same institution for one year and one day. He had been found guilty as charged and the judge was about to sentence him to the county Jall for six months, when he asked him if he had ever been guilty of this act before. He re- piled that he had, and that he had made a regular business of it and had sold whisky to many Indians.
 Well 1 would rather go there for a year than be sent to a coun- ty jail for six months replied the prisoner, and he was accord ingly given the longer sentence.

 Later. Officials are satisfied that no act committed by nation al or state agents, was a viola tion of the Mexican sovereignty in delivering the body of Yer gara to American soil. Compre- hensive reports from General Bliss and American Consul Gar rett at Nuevo Laredo cleared up the mystery. Secretary Bryan transmitted Garrett's report to Charge O'Shaughnessy, in Mex ico, it is understood. with the primary purpose of disproving the original allegation of the Mexican federal commander at Nuevo Laredo that Vergara es- capped from captivity and jolned the constltutionalists.
 With the body in evidence, O'Shaughnessy will be prepared to call on Huerta to redeem his promise to punish the federal officers who killed Vergara.
 Steps demanding the punish ment of the ranchman's slayers are to be taken immediately. The officially accepted view is, that Vergara was lured across the border, and murdered, and the body subsequently, recovered by hls own friends (not by the Texas Rangers), who crossed in- to Mexico as private individuals, and not as an armed expedition. Consul Garrett's reports were at the cabinet meeting, today.
 Secretary Garrison today re- ceived from General Bliss, a re- port of the Vergara case by Cap tain H. F. Howard.
 The report says, in part: Full investigation shows that Yer gara's body was taken from the Hidalgo cemetery on Saturday night by relatives of Vergara and hired Mexicans. Capt. Sanders stated positively that no Texas Rangers had crossed the border. They met the body at it's landing opposite San Eneyvue on Sunday morning.
 Secretary Bryan, entering the cabinet meeting, said that Amer jean Consul Garrett had reported that relatives of Vergara recov- cred the body on Sunday and that Texas Rangers did not cross the border.
 Garrett said he was notified that if he would go to a place on the American border across from Hidalgo, at 4 o'clock on Sunday morning. he would find the body.
 He went tbere Tn company with Captain Sanders of the Texas Rangers and the body was delivered to him by friends of Vergara. Bryan said no repre- sentations had been made to the Huerta government.

Vegarar's Body Brought
 To American Soil

Texas rangers crossed into Mexico last Sunday night and disinterred the body of Clemente Vergara. the Texas rancher who was lured into Mexico by the fed erals, and returned with the body to American soil. Governor Colquitt, who was recently re- fused permission by the state de- pertinent to send rangers across the Rio Grande to pursue the al- legged slayers of Vergara, would make no comment on the incl dent or say whether Captain Saunders acted under his in- structions.
 We wanted Vereara's body to determine the manner of his death, and we have it. :" he said. Some people may call thls an lnvasion," but it is not. "
 The rangers established the fact that Vergara was executed after being seized by the fede- raIs. He was shot twice through the head, once through the neck, and the charred fingers on his left hand, indicated that he had been tortured before he was killed.
 The body was not badly de- composed, despite its three weeks burial in the Hidalgo cemetery. Republican.
