Cooperation by City Officials.

Representatives of large number of
citizens associations attended last night s
meeting and listened to reports by Chair
man w. II. Richardson and DR.. Arthur
L. Murray, secretary. reviewing the ar
rangements made for citv-cleaning week.
The latter told of the cooperation
pledged by the Commissioners and the
sending out by the police department of
10000 placards urging citizens to aid in
the campaign. He said that $1,000 clean
up cards have been distributed in the
public schools and 900 requests sent to
ministers that they refer to cleanup
week in their sermons next Sunday.
Chairman Richardson stated there is
every indication that the public is inter-
ested in the campaign and intends to
make it a success. He predicted that
the quantity of refuse collected and re-
moved would be considerably in excess
of the amount handled year ago

Wanted Three Machines.

But Secretary Wilson wanted that
automobile. and he got it even if he had
to sell some other property to get it.
He tried to get Congress to give him
three automobiles He wanted limou-
sine, an electric runabout and a motor
truck Congress held up its hands
aghast. 1t refused to provide any. But
the Secretary has his automobile, and
is enjoying it, and will enjoy it until
Congress says that he even can't use
government money to maintain it. Then
then-well, he'll probably walk or maybe
dig down in his own pockets for chauf-
feur and gasoline.

HE DIDN'T ASK CONGRESS
TO APPROVE THE TRADE
Secretary Wilson Was Denied an Ap-
preparation, But Rides in Limou-
sine, Nevertheless.

If Congress succeeds in preventing Sec
retary Wilson of the Department of
Labor from riding around in the ''luxu-
rious limousine" which he purchased out
of funds not expressly appropriated for
that purpose, it is probable that he will
have to walk to and from cabinet meet
ings and any other places for which he
now uses his fine auto to hustle him. To
get the automobile he gave in trade, in
addition to about 500. a fine pair of
black horses. which had been used by
secretaries of Commerce and Labor, and
the carriages which the horses had been
in the habit of drawing.
Now. if that automobile is put out of
commission by Congress, it is perhaps
too late to recover that fine pair of
horses. The department needs the
money badly anyway. and there prob
ably will not be any to spare to buy
more horses.

Contributions Are Requested.

a report on the work of the finance
committee was made by Mrs. Charlton
NJ. Clark, chairman. 1t is estimated that
the expenses of the campaign will ap-
proximate $50. but so far the committee
has raised only about half of this amount.
Mrs. Clark said letter would be sent
to the hotels, banks and public utilities
requesting contributions to the fund.
The committee voted an appropriation
for cleanup slides for display in mo-
tion-picture theaters. Authorization was
given the executive committee to take
up with the street railway companies
the question of placing cleanup signs
on street cars
There was discussion of the problem of
providing for waste removal in sections
of the city not covered by the contract
of the refuse collector This matter will
be taken up with the street-cleaning de-
partment. which will be asked to furnish
some of its extra carts and teams during
the crusade.
That the work of the committee is of
vital Importance was the declaration of
Judge Bundy. who addressed the meet
ing. He said that the more sanitary
Washington becomes the more popular it
will be as a residential city. He said
he would ask the Columbia Heights Citi-
zens' Association. of which he is a mem
Der. to contribute to the campaign fund.
A contribution to the fund by the Mid
City Citizens Association was announced.

NrExICo's OPPORTUNITY.

The good intent Of the mediators
and the United States is reflected in
the tentative agreement for the pacih-
cation OF Mexico. II the effort TO
bring strife TO an end by peaceful
means fails :. Will not be the fault OF
the men who have so earnestly and
unselhshly labOred In that behalf.
Briefly stated this tentative agree
ment provides that in case Huerta Will
agree 10 the establishment OF a stable
government the United States will
waive ali claims TO a war indemnity;
that the proposed provisional govern
ment will assume al debts and obliga-
tiOns OF the present government; that
the personal safety and property rights
OF Huerta officials and followers shall
be guaranteed and a general amnesty
declared; that the land reform ques-
ton shall be left 10 the new govern
ment. that the officials OF the pro-
visional government shall be fully
committed 10 the proposed reforms,
and that Vera Cruz will be evacuated
by the Americans as soon as 2 govern
shall be established.
The fairness Of this agreement is
apparent on its face. 1t may inter-
fere with the personal ambitions OF
certain Mexican leaders. but if carried
out will give Mexico a stable govern
ment. 1t would be folly To place any
OF the present leaders in charge Of the
provisional government. Their per-
sonal antagOnism would be fatal TO
the object in view. The result could
only be further divisions and insurrec-
tons. 1t is impossible that there
should not be in Mexico men Of ca
pacity whose patriotism can be relied
upon 10 reconstruct the government on
a substantial foundation and carry out
the land and other reforms upon which
the welfare of the country depends.
The United States I'm interfering in
Mexican affairs, is performing a
friendly>act, which has involved enor-
nous expense and loss of the lives OF
American citizens. but this is regarded
as a cheerful sacrifice for humanity's
sake. The United States could not
decently ask for compensation or in
demnity. 1t now depends upon the
patriotism of Huerta and Carranza as
10 whether peace and good govern
mont shall be speedily restored to
dexico.
The magnanimous conduct of the
United States and the unselfsh inter
est and solicitude Of other American
states should have their influence on
the men who hold the destiny Of
Mexico in their hands

ment did just what it is being paid for
doing.
In weeks past the hobo pest has hit
Fort Wayne hard.
People have called repeatedly upon
the police department for protection.
They have visited the newspaper Of

Kelley's army is not entitled to pub
lie sympathy. Its members are not
honest working men seeking employ
ment, else they would spend a small
part of the energy they are wasting in
their so-called march to Washington
and HE themselves to the nearest
wheat field where employment is Of
fered every man who will do half a
mans work and where wages are en-
inently satisfactory. Every postoffice
in the country is displaying bulletins
calling men TO the harvest fields OF
the great wheat belt, yet Kelley's army
is making tracks in another direction
as fast as is within its power.

A CATCH WORTH WHILE.

BY the way that left fielder ran for
that foul fly far o. er alongside the
bleacher. it might haze been supposed
that to catch it was the most important
thing he had to do.
The minute the bat cracked. he
started. running like a fend.
You can't get it," the captain and
coachers shouted.
Look out for the railing" exclaim-
ed the fans who feared that their
favorite might be hurt and lost to the
game.
But he needed nothing; he ran as il
his very life were at stake; and just
as the descending sphere was grazing
the edge of the structure. he leaped
forward, threw himself headlong,
rolled over and over. but as ne arose
it was to a chorus Of tumultuous
cheers, for he had the ball.
Was it that important?
Indeed it was. for it was the per-
Torrance Of a duty.
The left fielder was paid to do such
things. To be sure. had ne run less
speedily and dared less bravely. miss
ing the long chance. he wouldn't have
lost his job or had his pay lowered.
But, on the other hand. he wouldn't
have won that salvo of cheering or
helped his team mates to retire the
other side.
He did his utmost. He showed
what nerve and training and keen,
brilliant will power can do in a pinch.
And that was worth more as a spec
tacle and as an example than the
mere winning of one game or a dozen
games.
Everybody who saw the fine per-
Torrance was made just little better
by it; was given 2 new insight into
what fit manhood is.
Everybody who saw carried home,
consciously or unconsciously. a new
ideal.
There isn't any limit TO the value of
good deal.

tation and other things necessary TO
make our national picnic a grand sue
cess. A month away from harvest IN
the late wheat producing states the
government estimate Of the crop is
900. 600, 900 bushels. This is $4,000, =
600 bushels in excess of the record
yield OF last year. The winter crop is
estimated at 63s,OOO.OOO and the
spring crop at 100000. Last year
the winter crop was 52S, 100000 BUSH
els and the spring crop 100000, 900
bushels.
The favorable conditions are due to
better farming rather than TO increas-
ed acreage. The spring wheat acre
age is three-fourths OF a million acres
less than a year ago. yet the estimated
yield is $4,000, 900 bushels greater.
Farmers are making better prepara-
ton for their crops and using greater
discrimination in the selection OF seeds,
thereby increasing the productiveness
of the soil. The signs are as plain as
the guideboards at the crossroads. The
farmers are getting down to brass
tacks. More of them are learning the
why's and wherefores. the relations Of
things. the economies of materials and
labor and the various factors contrib
uting to successful cultivation.
Results OF the application Of mod
ern methods Of tillage show con-
clusively that Mother Earth has been
having an easy time and probably
laughing in her sleeve at our ignor-
ance. She hasn't been doing half
what she should have done for the
support and prosperity Of her chill
dren. 1t was a shame for the old lady
TO take advantage Of our ignorance,
but can you blame her? Probably
you would have done the same thing
under the same circumstances. But
we are beginning to know better now
and from this time on she will have TO
hump herself.
