tablishing rebel government. He tel
egraphed 10 Gen. Carranza:

The battlefield opposite Preside
at daylight revealed scene Of desc
lation The whole sweep of land
leading to the heights of Ojinaga had
been ploughed by the frantic rout Of
the federal army and eager scramble
into the village by Gen. Villas rebels.
A cannon toppled muzzle down
ward, blood stained sabre sticking
in the muddy river bank, rifles
thrown heaps, the crumpled
forms and ing the cactus and mesquite
and the azed eyes that peered here
and the3 from among the rocks,
were mute suggestions OF what had
gone before. Those VIII vent across
in behalf of the Red Gross found
many wounded who for hours had re-
NAMED uncared for. Many were
traced in the trenches by their
groans. 1t was the belief of the Am
erican army physicians that many
soldiers had died because neither
federals nor rebels had a hospital
corps.
The 1900 civilian refugees who
rushed across the river when Gen
Mercado vent thru the streets of Oh
inaga, telling the people to flee, suf-
ferred as much distress as the SOL
diers. Scores of women camp follow
ers had lost their children in the
scramble and were crying piteously
in the corral provided for them on
the American side. Others were
were drenched from wading thru the
river.
Disorder on American Side
The scene of disorder on the Am
erican side was almost as bad as on
the Mexican. Scores of federals' guns
had been thrown into the river and
were protruding from the mud. Fed
eral and rebel wounded had crawled
to the river bank side by side, were
wading across, aided by American
soldiers. Mexican women and child
rem who had escaped from the corral
were trudging up the mountain road
toward Morfa and had to be brought
! back.
! Suddenly made guardians of an
entire foreign garrison, generals and
all, the American border patrol con-
sidered what was to be done with the
Mexican soldiers. Maj. McNamee
asked Brigadier General Bliss at San
Antonio, Tex, for instructions. 1t
was believed the question would be
referred to the war department and
that Maj McNamee would be order

One Nan Killed and Two Badly In
jured in Smashup Near
Miami

Fort Pierce, Jan. 12.-One man is
dead, another may die and two 9th
ers were badly injured in a motor7
cycle accident here late Saturday
night
Shortly after o'clock on the Mi
ami-MontreaI highway. a little more
than a mile south of Fort Pierce. two
Indian motorcycles had head-on
collision.
One machine was driven by Tom
Lennard, brother OF eX-Sheriff R.
w. Lennard. and carrying a passen-
ger. J. H. Mcclellan.
The other was driven by Cader
Hart, and carried Cecil Reeves as a
passenger.
Lennard was so seriously injured
that he died before reaching the doc
tors office, his arm being smashed
into a pulp. Cader Hart was most
seriously injured, with his face
crushed and cuts and bruises about
his body. Internal injuries are
feared.
Reayes is suffering with two
broken bones in one arm, cuts about
the face and body and is resting fav-
orably.
McClellan's injuries are the slight
Est. but he is painfully bruised and
cut.
Harold Dodge and Lewis Jones, on
a third motorcycle, witnessed the &C
cident. which is unaccounted for, as
both men had lights and the moon
was bright.

They're Not Insane; Just
Harmless Imbeciles,
Perhaps.

This acquits our gentlemen and
lady friends of insanity, even II It
does carry with It suggestion Of
Intellectual imbecihty. Some per
haps would prefer one and some
the other. This explanation is sug-
gested by the fact that what we
are now witnessing is nothing new
so far as the essential features of
the case are concerned.
Some years ago it was bicycling.
Then, as now, 1t was the neither
extremities that were worked in
compensation for the inaction of
the cerebral extremity.
But people are. by the kind prov
idence Of God, 30 constituted as to
be unable for long to forget their
brains, even If they make no prac.
tical use Of them: and SO, after a
couple OF years, the bicycles were
sent 10 the pawnshop or stored in
the garnet.
Then later on came the epoch
OF bridge whist. 1t answered the
same purpose as bicycling, filed
the same chasm that tango, turkey
trot and similar gymnastic vaga-
ries fill now. 1t had its day, but,
as was recently remarked by q lady
who used to teach bridge whist.
my occupation is gone; nobody is
playing 1t any longer"
What will come next no one can
foresee. Possibly these faddist de-
voices will conclude that their mis-.
taken craving will better be met by
more substantial and creditable
satisfactions.

THE COUNTRY DOCTOR
BY WILLIAM r. KIRK.

~ AY in, day out night out. night in,
Where snow Is thick and fees are thin,
49, He hustles with his CHEEKY grin
To fight with Ills.
The drives are long, the nights are cold.
He suffers hardships left untold
To call upon some mother old
Across the hills.
little he says about his pay;
Often he gives his skill away,
And though he's getting bent and gray
He has no wealth.
His hfe has been an endless tr4Al
His motto has been selfdenial;
Freely he gives from every vial
For some ones health.
The gallant soldier goes away
While fife and drum and bugle play
Bravely to conquer or to STAY
That is his part
The country doctor rides alone
Through rugged roads. DER stick and stone.
To heal men, not to make them moan:

If an employer wants to speed

they don't.

Likewise any woman can be
turned into good housekeeper
by a husband who 1udiciously
praises a good dish and sorrow
fully remarks over a bad one that
1t isn't quite up to her usual ex-
allied culinary standard.
Positively the only thing that
will nail a man to his own
hearthstone and make him a gen.
erous, attentive and Interested
lover as we'll as a husband. is to
find In his own home a brand of
fiattery so much more potent, so
much higher spiced and SO much
more inexhaustible than any to
be had abroad that 1t puts all
other women into the amateur
hot air class beside his wife.
AS for employees, isn't 1t in
variably the man who knows he
is most trusted who is most
trustworthy, the one who knows
the boss depends on him who is
most dependable, the crackerjacl
salesman who works ten times as
hard to sell as the man who
knows that not much Is expected
of him?
Oh, it's praise, and not blame,
that makes the world go around.

who expect the best of us, and
who appreciate that best. Throw

There Are Many Young
People Who Need
That Push.

And there are valuable youns
people all around US that need just
that initial push. Those that have
the proposed enterprise in charge
will have to turn down good
many applicants, for there are
hosts OF people in the world that
are born with a genius for lean
ing and who take much nore
pleasure in eating their bread than
they do in earning it.
But when that class have oil
been screened through the sieve OF
physical, mental and moral invest
cation, there will still remain
residue OF manhood and woman
hood that is richly worth cultiVat-
ing and whose failure to be helped
in the way intended means definite
loss to the public.

Modern Dances
By REV. DR. CHARLES 81. PARKHURST

THE estimate that one will pass
On the troops of men and
women with whom, at pres
emit, ballroom gymnastics consti-
stute the sum and substance Of
life will depend on what one con-
siders to be the real nature of the
delirium.
Even to call 1t delirium may be
a misuse of terms, for 1t would i'm
ply degree of mental infatuation
approaching to lunacy, and we
should be averse to supposing that
these stalwart men and beautiful
women are all OF them candidates
for the madhouse. Such a posi-
bility cannot be quietly contem-
plated.
A broad view Of the entire situa-
ton leads rather to the conviction
that the phenomenon which we are
now considering is due not so
much to a disordered mind as to
emptiness of mind, so that what
is now going on is to be explained
on the familiar principle that ma
ture abhors a vacuum, and that
these people are throwing them
selves into these fantastic gambol-
ings in order to satisfy an aching
void.
The object is to get rid Of the
emptiness, and when that is the
object It does not make so much
difference what 1t is filed In with.
They are in this respect like GER
tain fish that always go through
the water with their mouths open,
everything being grist that comes
to their mill.

Its Purpose Is to Help
Them Until They Can
Stand Alone.

It's purpose is not to take people
up and transplant them bodily, but
to furnish them with a temporary
but reliable staff upon which thew
can lean till they are able to stand
down, unsupported, upon their own
feet.
To encourage others to helm
themselves is the only kind Of as.
sistance that we can reasonably be
called to render except in cases Of
absolutely helpless poverty. Other
wise every nickel that is bestowed
in charity has only the effect Of
putting a premium upon paupersm.
Only those who are frequently
approached by such as think they
have a claim upon our benefcence
can realize how large is the field
which an enterprise like the one
under consideration can occupy
and cultivate.
1t Is easy to say that II a man
has the stuff In him he will win out
however adverse the circumstances
in which he is placed, but that Is
not the fact.

LUTON.
Editor The Georgian:
While there Is so much talk of
how to solve the high cost OF liv-
ing problem, think the follow
ing wifi be OF some help to the
readers of your valuable paper.
II should be especially helpful to
the working man, who depends
upon his income for a living and
who has a back yard.
In a back yard 40 by 20 feet
have 70 White Leghorn hens,
which were Matched May 2s. Dur
ing the month OF December they
laid 6s4 eggs, which I sold for
so cents a dozen, or a total OF
ss4.20. The entire cost OF feed
for the month was So, leaving a
net profit OF s2S.2O for the month.
This can be done by anyone who

tention TO their poultry that they
give TO any other business.

FIRE INSURANCE.

c, f. H.--You are wrong IN
thinking that there were fire In
surance companies in antiquity.
There are traces. II Is true, Of
contributions toward the relief OF
fire sufferers. but II was not until
after the great fire in London, in
1866, that real fire insurance was
known. II was not until the year
1851 that the first regular Office for
tnsuring against loss by Are was
opened by a com biuation OF per-
sons near the Royal Exchange.
This pioneer institution was soon
followed by others Of like nature
all over Europe.

A Sure Tip.
Surely this alone should fur
nish a tip to the knockers that It
would be better to throw away
their hammers and get busy
spreading the salve II they want
results. AS a matter of fact,
everybody knows that all you've
got to do to make a woman break
her neck Is to dangle a little fiat
terry before her. She will go for It
every time, and so l advise the
husband who bemoans his wife's
bills to try praising her economy
a little. Let him discourse before
company upon her thrift and
what a help she is, and. my word
for it, she will put Yale lock on
her pocketbook that it will take

MALARIA.

T. c. HIT has been definitely
proven that the disease known as
malaria" Is caused by the bite OF
the mosquito OF the genus called
Anopheles Claviger. The de-
struction OF the mosquito, there
fore. carries along with 1t the
destruction OF malaria. There is
not much doubt that sooner or
later science will hit upon the
ways and means of completely
exterminating the pestiferous in
sect which is responsible for so
much loss TO humanity.
