A Stirring Story of he Mexican Revolution

Tt is the desire of the Yaquis," he had said, when rebuked for serving under the hated flag of Mexico, Ito kill Mexicans. And he added grimly. the federals at this time secm best able to give us guns for that ptr9ose"
 But it had been a year new since Bule had passed his word and, though they had battled valfantly, their land had not been given back to them The wild Yaquis, the irreeoncilabes who never came down from the hills, had gone on the warpath again, but Bule and his men still served.
 Only in two things did they disebey their officers-they would not stack their arms, and they would not retreat while there were still more MeXieans to be killed Otherwise they were very good soldiers.
 But now, after the long campaign in Chihuahua and a winter of idleAess at Agua Negra, they were marching south toward their native land and, in spite of the stern glances of their lead CTS, they burst forth in weird Yaaui songs which. if their words had been known, might easily have caused their Mexican officers some slight uneas ntss.
 It was, in fact, only question Of days, months, or years until the entire Yaqui contingent would desert, taking thelr arms and ammunition with them,
 Gee, what bunch Of men!" ex- claimed Bud, as he stood off and ad- mired their stark forms.
 There's some genuine fighters for you. he observed 10 Phil; and q giant Yaqui, standing near, returned his praise with smile.
 Wy, hello there, Amigo!' hailed Bud, jerking his head in a friendly sa- lute. That's feller I was making signs to up in Agua Negra,n he ex- plained. "Dogged if I ain't stuck on these Yaquis-they're all men. believe mel"
 Good workers. all right" conceded De Lancey, but I'd hate to have 'em get after me with those guns. They say they've killed lot of Americans, one time and another"
 Well. if they did it was for being caught iD bad company" said Hooker. I'd take a chance with 'em any time but if you go into their country with Mexican escort they'll kill you on general principles Say" he cried impulsVely, I'm going over to talk with Amigo,"
 With broad grin on his honest face he advanced toward the giant Yaqui and shook hands ceremoniously.
 Where you go?" he inquired in Spanish. at the same time rolling a cigarette and asking by sign for match.

makings. he, too. rolled a cigarette and they smoked for a minute iE silence.
 You live here?" inquired the Yaqui at last.
 Come here," corrected Bud q have mine-ten miles-over there"
 He pointed with the flat of his hand Indian fashion. and Amigo nodded un derstandingly.
 He was fine figure of 8 man, stand ing six feet or better in his weil-cul sandals and handling his heavy Mau ser as child would swing stick Across his broad chest he wore a full cartridge belt, and around his wais he had two more, filled to the las hole with cartridges and loaded clips At his feet lay his blanket, bound into a tight roll, and a eanteen and coffee cup completed his outfit, which, so far as impedimenta were concerned was simplicity itself.
 But instead of the cheap linen uni. form of the federals he was dressed in good American clothes a striped shirt. overalls, and a sombrefo banded with a bright ribhon-and in place of the beaten, hunted look of those poor conscripts he had the steady gaze Of a free man.

Drawing Worthless Checks.

1t appears that a certain Harry
Reed has been settling his obliga-
lions with checks on the First Ma
tional bank here when he had no
money on deposit there. Such checks
were given recently at the Monroe
and Bahrenfus restaurants. and at
the Boston store and perhaps other
places. The young man had worked
for farmer named Tyler and this
gentleman had endorsed the Monroe
check. The check given at the Bos-
ton store was also endorsed by
Charlie Koss and when it was pre-
scented at the bank and found value
less, the store proprietors, through
the city authorities, secured pay
men of the check by Charlie Koss.
The young man roomed in the
building owned by Mrs. s. B. Rosen-
krans, and was in arrears for rent.
However, the clothing left there will
satisfy this claim. The whereabouts
of Reed are unknown.

ANOTHER N. v. A.
Rate DECISION
Illinois Appellate Court sustains Po-
sition Of Insurgents on
Rate Question.

The appellate court for the third
district of Illinois handed down an
opinion a few days ago affirming the
decision of Judge Creighton of the
Sangamon district in which it was
held that the by-laws increasing the
rates Of insurance OF the Modern
Woodmen Of America were not legal
ly adopted and restraining the head
officers of the camp from putting in
to effect the new rates.
The case was that of James H.
Wallace, ct al. vs.. the Modern Wood
men of America and the head offic-
ers.
The appellate court holds that the
bylaws adopted by the head camp
in Chicago in July, 1912, did not
receive the necessary two-thirds
vote of the delegates elected to the
head camp, that they were adopted
by a vive yoce vote and that there
is nothing in the records to show
that there was even a quorum pres
ent at the meeting, let alone a two
thirds vote.
The case in the Illinois court will
have no effect upon the Woodmen's
affairs because the Chicago rates
were repealed at Toledo and there
fore there is no longer an issue as
to whether the Chicago head camp
acted lawfully. Elsewhere, however,
there are cases pending in which the
right of tho society to increase its
,ates is questioned on the ground
hat 1t amounts to an abrogation of
! contract, and these it is expected
will be fought through to the Unit
I'd States supreme court.

After Manv Years.

Frank Bonebright recently receiv-
ed a letter from a former Webster
City boy-now man grown
which is self-explanatory and is but
another example of the relentless
activity of guilty conscience. Such
a conscience which makes right a
wrong done, is not infrequently
heard of and it will be gratifying to
those who knew the boy, to know
that he has reformed and is living
an honorable life. Following is the
letter:

complaint was made of the fact that
the public is put to much inconven-
fence by the impossible condition
of the roads at points where con-
crete culyerts have been put I'M and
that. too. for several weeks after
the culvert work has been complet-
ed. County Auditor Peterson in
forms us that the state highway
commission is responsible. The COM
mission requires that culverts be ex-
posed to the air for three weeks af-
ter they are put in. This explains
the matter satisfactorily.

THE IOWA WEATHER
and CROP REPORT
Ideal Weather for Harvesting and
Haying Corn Laid by in
Good Condition.

Des Moines, July Ideal wealth
er prevailed during the last seven
days for haying and harvesting fall
wheat, rye and early oats, and the
time was we'll improved. The aver
age temperature was about four de-
grees below the normal and only
few light, scattered showers occur
red. Practically all of the winter
wheat, rye and early oats are in
shock in the southern counties, and
the work is well advanced in the
central Districts Haying was gem
eral and the crop is being put up
in fine condition. The yield is, how
ever, considerably below normal in
southern districts but is fair to good
over the central and northern coun-
ties. The bulk of the corn has been
laid by in good condition, and the
crop, as whole, is week to ten
days in advance of the average for
this time Of the year. Much of it
is showing tassels in the southern
part of the state but will soon need
rain in those sections. Threshing
has begun in the South and will be-
gin in central districts during the
coming week. Early reports indi-
cate good yields of winter wheat, but
not up to those Of last year. Early
potatoes are generally small and
have only a few in hill. Pastures
are in fine condition, except in the &
southern counties, where rain is
badly needed for all growing crops
and to replenish the water supply,
which is getting short.
The following is a summary show
ing the average condition of crops
on July 1st, as compared with the
average condition on that date in
past years: Corn, 102 per cent;
pats, "a; spring wheat 90; winter
wheat, 95; barley, 90; rye, 81; fax,
80; potatoes, 90; hay, sS, pastures.
IS per cent.

Profit Of $45 Per Acre.

County Clerk Sterling has just
pulled in nice profit from a farm
up in Humboldt county. He bought
the place two years ago at SOL per
acre. It contains 16O acres and the
other day he sold it at $3.50 per
acre. He had expended five or six
hundred dollars in improvements,
but figures his profit at $45 per
acre: That is good enough for two
years. No wonder John traded of
his Ford a few days ago and is now
driving a Studebaker.
