Reforms.

Chesaning. Mich.-Following scath-

ingalls, was put in charge OF the
Chesaning police department by the
village council. The position was
proffered in a spirit Of sarcasm, but
Miss ingalls, accepted before the Of
fer could be withdrawn.
For a long time Miss Ingalls, had
not BEEN in sympathy with what she
termed lax law enforcement, land she
threw the light OF publicity on every
flaw in the village government she
could uncover. She has put into ef-
feet q large number Of reforms.
Some Of the reforms are:
Card games in saloons or poolrooms
prohibited
Playing dominoes for money barred.
Throwing dice tabooed.
Eighteen-year age limit for poolroom
freQuenters established.
Ten o'clock closing order promul-
gated.
Blankcting horses on streets or
dered.
Miss ingalls, is fearless in the dis
charge of her duties, and in enforcing
the aforementioned order she tackled
the so-called bad man" of the Sec
ton and subdued him. He is Tom
Ederley, who has whipped nearly
every man in the county and whose
open boast was that he respected
neither sex.

Ederley enjoyed a brief moment OF

"oh, guess I'll not blanket the
horse" he answered. roughly.
You hear me-" Miss Ingalls, an

him right now"
Jaw. mind your own business"
Ederley grunted. as he poured out an
other drink OF whisky.
Drop that drink and get out Of
here" Miss Ingalls, ordered. I'VE
want none Of your ilk in Chesaning."
There was q sudden movement and
a sound of breaking glass and liquor
trickled over the bar. Miss ingalls,

hand as no lifted 1t to his lips. Then
she locked her fingers firmly in his
hair and conducted him to the side Of

cooperative credit societies and that
cooperative credit will come In spite
Of all the bankers can do.
DR.. Charles Mccarthy is Of this
number. He bases his conclusion on
these grounds: First, no joint stock
bank can afford to tie its money up
for long.period loans as do the credit
banks. These deposits are all short
time deposits. They have no way Of
hypothecating one series Of loans in
order to raise money for another Sc
ries. Their system of finance is not
sufficiently elastic to lend itself to the
transactions demanded in an adequate
line Of rural credit.
Second: No money.making concern
can possibly serve the farmers as do
cooperative credit societies whose sole
aim is to aid the borrower and to pro-
tect his interests.
But in agriculture a system Of rural
credit cannot be q substitute for
brains and business sense and q mar
keting system. Unless the farmer pro-
duces q good product and sells II to
advantage his farming viii be a fall
ure. Easy loans viii only make II
q bigger failure. Cooperative credit
Is important. but with It must come
a better system Of marketing either
cooperative or otherwise, which win
give the farmer more than half what
is paid for the farm product. And 20
far a. we can learn cooperative mar
ksting q the system WhichviIl Do thiA.

 WASHINGTON. April IA. - The president has ordered practically the entire Atlantic fleet to Mexican wat CTS to force a public salute to the stars and Stripes from the Huertt government as an apology for the arrest of American marines at Tam pico last Thursday. No ultimatum has been issued, that is, no specific time has been set within which Huerta must comply, but the naval demonstration is ordered as concrete evidence of the fixed determination of the United States to back up Rear Admiral Mayo's demand for a salute. So far Huerta has not made q satisfactory response to the demand. Future developments depend upon Huerta." was the way high official. close to the president. summarized the situation.
 The decision to send the fleet was reached after the president and Sec retary Bryan conferred for an hour with John Lind, and after two hour cabinet meeting. during which dispatches from Charge OShaugh Eessy revealed that the Huerta gov ernment disputed the right of the American marines to be ashore at Tampico, and contended that its re- cent public statement of apology was ample.
 Immediately after the cabinet meeting Daniels issued orders to the Atlantic fleet, and wireless messages flashed up and down the coast to put the fleet under steam to Tam pico.
 It will be the largest fighting force assembled for possible action since the Spanish American war. Forty six warships and 21,000 men will comprise the force off Tampico.
 While the navy was active, not a wheel turned in the army. Two ex- plantations for this are advanced the desire that the constitutionalists, who are in control of Northern Mex ico. should not misinterpret this ac- ton, and the fact that the United States already has a big fighting force within striking distance of Mexico.

The events of today are the history of tomorrow. People learn, improve and progress today by study of the history of yesterday.
 The Aztec and Indian had their civ ilizations, which, like all civilizations, contained the good. bad and indiffer- ent but it produced the individual best, and it is from that best that the wise futurist learns. Then came the Padres, obsessed with an idea-ful of lreams-and. like all so-called dream ers-heroes among men.
