Given Last Night at the Hospital
Grounds for Berefit st.
Mary's Infirmary. ~
FIFTH ANNUAL AFFAIR
BREAKS RECORD RECEIPTS.
Between 1000 and 1900 is the EST.
mate of the Attendance Mt
the Pleasant Social.

Between $3.50 and s575 were re-
allied as the result of the Lawn
Fete given last evening by the
ladies of nearly all of the churches
in Cairo for the benefit of st. Mary 8
Infirmary.
This is the record mark in receipts
for the five previous affairs of this
kind and certainly is gratifying to
those who worked for the success of
the affair. The last social given for
the benefit Of tine Sisters Hospital
netted the sum of about $500.
Every lady who did the part of
the work assigned her should have
credit for this splendid showing.
For five annual lawn socials, Mrc.
J, f. Strong has been the efficient
chairman of the executive commit
tee and manager. and Mrs. Thomas
keefe has been the secretary and
treasurer, ana many OF the ladies'
on the various committees have
served at all these annual affairs.
One year ago the ladies gave no
similar social because of the high
water and stagnatioh of business
which resulted.
The attendance last might was
variously estimated from 1000 to
1900 people. The automobile feat
IRE was a most enjoyable adjunct
and the autos were kept busy from
the time the affair started TO the
close. Quite a neat sum of money
was added from this source.
The hospital grounds were very
attractive ard the scene presented
a pretty one, with the myriad OF
electric lights illuminating the
broad espanse of greensward.
The music was charming and was
said to be the best of any previous

many CITIES
ARE FACING
WATER FAMINE
Long Drought Has Depleted Supply
at Cities in All Parts of
Country. '
NO BAN ON sPRINKLING
NECESSARY HERE YET
100000 Gallons Day Being Used
in Cairo for Sprinkling
Purposes. !

Oue to the long dry spell which
has been quite general, many cities
are suffering from water famine. In
number OF places the public has
been forbidden to use water for
sprinkling as this is one of the prin-
cipal sources of water shortage.
In Cairo there are being used L.
100000 gallons daily for sprinkling,
but as yet Superintendent Roos has
taken no steps to stop it, Superin-
tendent Roos, when asked about the
matter. said that good heavy raiu
would mean that the Cairo Water
company would pump 100000 gal
Ions less each day.
The last soaking rain Cairo had
was on May Z, which is over two
months. Unless there is rain over
the country soon the water famine
may become serious.
Dayton, Ohio is the city that is
most affected. The situation here
is becoming alarming. At Paducah.
the Ohio is the source of supply and
very efficient plant is taxed to its
maximum to supply the great de-
mand for water. Decatur, M;
Bloomington. Ind: Bowling Green,
Ky; Glouchester, n. j.; Rochester.
n. Y, Boulder, Colo, are few OF
the other cities that are facing the
water famine.
Mr.. Roos said that the Cairo
Water company does not feel that il
is necessary as yet to ask the people
to be more economical in the use Of
water. but il necessary II would be
the only practical method OF con-
serving water. The quantity OF
water wasted In the sprinkling OF
lawns is enormous and an unneedful
waste.

today advised .he United States gov
ernment informally that he intends
to retire in favor of Gen. Carranza,

This statement indicating the at

with the announcement that Car
rama was willing to enter negotia-
tions with Carhajal relative to the
transfer of authority at Mexico City
was regarded here tonight as prac
teal assurance of the cessation of
hostilitics, and u restoration of
peace in the republic.
The views of Carbajal were ex-
planned in detail to Secretary Bryan
today by Jose Castellot, former
member of the Mexican Senate, who
received personal telegram
through the Mexican embassy. The
message incidentally revealed that
Gems. Huerta and Banquet how en-
route 10 Puerto, are planning to go
to Europe.
The American government will
delay in recognizing the new gov
ernment until satisfactory adjust
ment is made about claims growing
out of the revolution. IE the mean
time the American forces will not
be drawn from Vera Cruz until
every difficulty has been adjusted.

TALK ABOUT AND
BOOST YOUR CITY
Never Lose an Opportunity to Boost
Your City and Everybody in it.
It's Growth Will be Yours

II you live in a city you should be-
lieVe in it. If you don't believe in
your city you should move out of it.
Like other places it has advantages
that other places have notand your
modesty should not prevent you from
making the fact known whenever the
opportunity presents itself. At home
or abroad, whether pursuing pleas
ure or engaged in business, do not
neglect to give those with whom you
come in contact to understand that
you live in a live city, populated by
enterprising, go-ahead, progressive
people and one that is advancing in
stead Of retrograding.
If you can truthfully speak in com
mendation of the ability of your pro-
fessional men, the dealing
methods of your merchants, the ex-
celIence of your mechanics, the su-
periority of your churches, schools
and public Institutions, and the in
dustry, engry and sobriety of your
citizens generally, let nothing pre-
vent you from exercising that priviI-
ege. You should learn to believed if
you do not already, that we have
