Household Notes

Potato-and-bread croquettes are made by breaking the dry bread into small pieces and adding hot water to soften it little. To one quart of bread add one egg, salt and pepper and one pint of cold mashed potatoes: mix we'll, form into cakes, roll in flour and dry.
 The housekeeper is apt to be tor- mented with many little undone things. not important enough to be remembered when out of sight, but most provoking to find neglected. It is a very good plan to write these little things down on memorandum and when there is an odd moment consult the list. In this way much more can be accomplished.
 Tn making potato chips, first se- feet medium sized potatoes, pare ana slice them very thin, then put them into cold. water. Allow them to re- main about twenty minutes, then take them out and lay them each slice singly on a cotton cloth to absorb the water. Have a pan of boiling fat ready and drop each slice in, not allowing the pan to be crowded. They should be taken out when light brown and placed in a colander to drain, and allowed to stand in the oven for about ten minutes with the door open.

Marked Decline Shown In Nearly All

Abstract of Report.

Madison.-A marked decline fea-
lures nearly all items of the abstract
Of reports of condition of state banks
and trust companies, completed by the
state banking department. The de-
crease in assets is especially notice
able, the total assets of $239, IA, JOY 81
being $5,000,802.30 less than assets on
March 4. Reserves dropped $780,

784, 911.23, as compared with $45,146,-
1887 on March 4. The enormous
automobile trade is accounted for in
large part for the general decrease
seen in this report. Deputy Commits
sioner William H. Richards stated that
purchases of motor cars have been on
scale never before reached, and that
the money is sent out of the state ra-

If gold were lying all around
Like pebbles on the beach,
We'd cease TO cheat and lie for gold
we'd cease to toll and sigh for gold,
And those who sadly preach
hat love of gold has made us blind
And breeds the wrongs we do
Would have to hunt around to find
Some other bugaboo.
II roses bloomed on every weed
That grows along the way
We'd crush the roses meath our feet.
we'd cease to think the rose was sweets
The lover who today
Speaks of his loved ones rosy cheek
And rosebud lips would ne'er
Again be tempted thus to speak
With roses everywhere.
If every maiden who Is fair
Would yield a ready kiss,
The kisses that men try to win,
The kisses that man die to win.
Would charm NO more; the miss
Who with a kiss may thrill a man
Or for kiss enslave,
With kisses ne'er could fill q man
With noble aims and brave.
If all the ways that men pursue
Led upward to the skies
The hopes we have of reigning there.
The hopes we have of gaining there
The joys the world denies
Would vanish; heaven would cease to bo
Worth while IL it were won
BY drifting onward carelessly
Till all the sands were run.

News Pleases Washington.

Washington, ID. c., July 16.-News
OF Gen. Huerta's resignation as pro,
visional president of Mexico was hall
ed by officials here as the first practi-
cal step toward quick solution of the
Mexican problem.
Huerta's resignation marks the cul-
minatton of more than years active
effort on the part of the United States
government to force his retirement.
John Lind was sent to Mexico last
summer in an effort to bring about the
withdrawal of Huerta. Failing in this
the United States government adopted
a policy that has slowly diminished
Huerta's resources.
With Huerta's retirement, the con-
stitutionalists feel that their revolu-
tion has triumphed. They turned
against him the moment he overthrow

dent of Mexico, in February, 1912, and
have waged their war with unrelent-
ing vigor ever since

dent, were shot to death on a midnight

RESIGNATION is

SUCCESSOR IS APPOINTED
francisco CarbajaI Takes Oath Of
Office and Becomes President Pro
Tem-Vilia Says War VIII GO
On-BeIieves Gen. Huerta
VIII Take Field

Mexico City, July 16.-Gen. Victor
tano Huerta resigned from the provi-
sional presidency of the Mexican re-
public Wednesday night and his resig-
nation was accepted by the senate
and chamber of deputies by vote Of
III to IT.
Francisco Carbajal, the minister of
foreign affairs, was then appointed
president and took the oath of Office
at the joint session of deputies and
senators.
Gen Huerta and Gen. Banquet left
the capitol late Wednesday night
They boarded a train on the Mexican
Midland few miles beyond the city.
IT is thought they are going to Puerto
Mexico.
The scene in the chamber of depu-
ties and the senate when Huerta' 8
resignation was received was solemn
and the enthusiasm with which the
act was greeted was tempered by
general sympathy for the abdicating
president.
Fear of Looting.
The city Is quiet, but everywhere
there is dread of rebellion and footing.
1t is realized that Huerta, in spite of
his faults, kept strong hand on dis.
orderly elements, and his successor, it
is said, is not of type to cope with a
populace in revolt
Carbajal May Yield to Rebels.
Further than the Announcement of
Huerta's resignation, made after 4
o'clock, the government is silent. It is
believed, however, that CarbajaI will
turn the government over to the con.
stitutionalists, and thus insure peace.
1t Is also limited that Huerta will take
the field at the head of the federal
army.
WAR Will Go on"-viIa.
Juarez, Mexico, July 16.-"The re-
signation of Huerta and the naming of
Carbajal as his successor will not stop

tifico and his presidency will simply
mean the continuance in power of the
