MONEY and men
Government Will Come to Aid
of Kansas Harvest.
Coin for Banks and Excursion
Trains for WOrkmen.

Washington, June 16.-Secretery
Of Labor Wilson has asked the inter-
state commerce commission If it be
possible legally to arrange with the
railroad trunk lines to run excursions
in the west and southwest to carry
farm hands to assist in harvesting the
great crops.
State labor commissioners of Okla
homa, Kansas, Missouri and South
Dakota have telegraphed that one
hundred thousand men would not
more than meet the need. AT. the re-
quest OF Secretary Wilson the postor-
flee department posted In conspicuous
places at various postoftices bulletins
calling for farm hands in the sections
mentioned. The government cannot
defray the transportation expenses Of
men willing to go although 1t would
like to relieve the glut of the unem-
Dloyed in many large cities.
1t is the opinion of Secretary VIII
son that IL the railroads will run ex-
cursion trains with cheap rates to the
grain fields many men OF little means
will avail themselves of the emporium
ity to get work.. as.ase
Secretary McAdoo is preparing to
supply the western and southern
banks with all the money they may
need to harvest their crops. Last
year he loaned to the banks in the
grain states about $37,OOO,O0O, mostly
on commercial paper. He offered
them $5O,0O0,000 and will have as
much this year to lend.

Niagara Falls, June 16-There was
little expectation of agreement today
between the Mexican and American
delegates over the organization Of a
new government in Mexico and the Sc
lection of a successor to General
Huerta, but the delegates continued
consideration of available material in
the hope that some person acceptable
might be suggested. Emilio Rabasa,
chairman of the Mexican delegation, re-
ceived telegram today in which Gem
eral Huerta denies he is being repre-
scented in any way at Washington by
Charles A. Towne. former United States
senator from Minnesota. fs~
The transfer of Luis Terrazas,
wealthy Mexican land owner, from the
palace at Chihuahua. where he had
been under confinement for many
months, to the penitentiary. was re-
spOnsible. it was learned today. for the
request by Ambassador Da Cana Of
Brazil to Secretary Bryan, through the
American delegates, to obtain his re-
lease. The information as to the plight

no rise in prices of rice. Flour and
lard are short. Sending government

The Commercial club at Ashland,

members engaged a special train to
carry harvest hands from Wichita to
Ashland. The train made stops at
some of the larger points for coal and
water. The men were not allowed
to leave the train between the two
points, but a few "decamped' while
the train was getting water.
This morning a second train left
Wichita for Ashland. This time the
stops for fuel and water we're made at
stations where there was not much of
q town to induce the hands to leave
the train. AS result, the entire train
load stepped off the train at Ashland.

and fair dealings, hace we vouch

A Reunion.

Certain members of the late
Constitutional Convention held
at Baton Rouge, have conceived
the idea of having reunion Of
the members in New Orleans in
the early summer of the present
year, and arrangements to that
end have been carried forward
to some extent. But now it daWns
upon them that the Legislature
will be in session during the
months of May and June, and
since nearly all the members of
the convention are members of
the legislature, they fear that such
reunion would interfere with
the work of the law makers, and
so it has been determined to put
it off until fall. Some Of the
movers in the idea however, have
advanced the thought that such
a reunion in the fall will come so
close to the time for the opening
of another political campaign,
that the pleasure and harmony
of the occasion would be spoiled
by being broken in on by those
who will want to take advantage
of the opportunity to build up
their political fortunes.
Such a reunion would, no doubt,
be a very pleasurable affair if |
everything but sociality could be
eschewed, but the average Louis
lana politician is of such a per-
sistent temperament that he
could not forego an opportunity |
like that. Those who are the
fathers of the idea do not want
politics to creep into the matter,
but they fear they will be unable
to suppress it, and for that rea-
son it may be abandoned alto
gether.

How Is Your Boiler?

It has been stated that a mans
stomach is his boiler, his body is
his engine and his mouth the fire
box. Is your boiler (stomach) in
good working order or is it so
weak that it will not stand a full
load and not able to supply the
needed energy to your engine
(body)? If you have any trouble
with your stomach Chamberlain's

City Positions for Country Girls.

In the recent issue of Farm
and Fireside Francis E. Boord
makes a strong appeal to coun-
try girls to stay where thew are
unless there is some unusual rea-
son for making them move. She
reports many interesting facts
about small salaries and poor
opportunities for country girls in
the cities, and concludes with
the following warning:
Think long and hard before
you leave the home nest and the
pinmoney of your chickens and
turkeys, and the acquaintance
who respect you as Mr.. Browns
daughter, for in the city you are
only one of thousands of wrig.
Cling, struggling human atoms

there is room at the top for you,

chosen the right place, but make

In Mernoriam.

Died at her home in Columbia,
Feb. 10, 1914, at $50 a. M, Mrs.
Eliza Meredith, wife of w. c.
Meredith.
She suffered sevarely, but
patiently for two long months,
and while her death was ashock,
the end had been expected, as
very little hope was entertained
for her recovery by the attend
ing physician.
None ever entered her home
without a warm welcome, none
left without feeling the warmth
of genuine hospitality. Her re.
firing nature led her to hide her
best qualities from public gaze,
but they were revealed to those
who enjoyed her acquaintance;
yet it was in her own home that
her true worth was most con-
spicuous.
Vain is any attempt to measure
the loss of a mother to her chill
dren. AS the death dew gather
ed on her marble brow she asked,
Are all the children in" We
believe the anxiousness for those
nearest and dearest went with
her to the better land, and in the
possibilities of eternity, when
the roll is called up yonder shall
still be anxious to know Are all
the children in."
Mrs. Meredith united with the
Baptist church of this place about
two years ago, and has been a
great factor in raising funds for
the house of worship now being
built. She looked forward to the
Sabbaths when she could 60 to
church For the Sabbaths of
earth she now enjoys the never
ending Sabbath of heaven.
Mrs. Meredith remained con-
scious to the last, and, although
fully aware that her life was
near its close, manifested no
dread. She called for her "ba-
bies" Matte and Hattie, and
upon them bestowed a mothers
blessing God bless you my dar-
lings." She then called for the
other members of the family, and
to each made some bequest that
must live in their memories and
recall her last words of love-
her last hopes and wishes and
by a thousand tender cords draw
each of them towards the haven
of rest to which she has Journey
ed; and from that closing scene
will come a "still small voice, -
and as the years go by it will re-
mind them of her christian hope
and trust. and tell them of "a
place that passeth human under
standing"
Rev. Afford conducted the
funeral at the church. The songs
were touchingly rendered, one
being her favorite Il Want to Be
Like Him."
The flowers were many and
beautiful, but not more beautiful
than the face that rested 80
