Hear Talk By
Businessman


Seventy-five students of Sta.
dunn high school listened to an
advertising talk by James Nc.
Cormack last evening. He briefly
outlined the essentials for sue
cessful salesman. The talk was
made before the class In adver-
Using.
He declared that salesman
was born and not made. One must
have resources, honesty and a
smile. Above all one must. ap-
proach a customer with a cheer
full expression. He emphasized
the necessity of knowing the
stock.
Mr.. Mccormack told of his trip
east before he started his talk on
craftsmanship.

UNIVERSITY OF WASHING
TON, Oct. 16.-All three under
class teams of the university are

first game will be played next
Saturday, with Gonzaga univer-

The freshmen are playing the
Tahoma Athletic club at Tacoma;

in state where only no-decision
bouts are allowed. That much for
the official side of the PROPOSE
ton.
AS for the moral side, Williams
is still champion. He was punch
ing Etrle all around the ring when
the foul blow was struck. VIII.
iams,i fact, was giving Ertle
such a fine trimming. folk at
the ringside wondered just how
long the "Kewpie" would last.
There is no doubt but that
Williams is the better of the two.
Ertle, even in claiming the title,
is carrying empty honors. Fans
do not like to see titles won that
way. Another bout is needed to
put the title proposition in the
clear. Then il Ertle can win, bar
ring foul, all we'll and good.

Rioting in Mexico City

Washington, July desperate con-
ditions in Mexico City, with unchecked
mobs rioting and looting, were de-
scribed in dispatches cabled to the U.
S. government last night from Vera
Cruz by courier who left the Mexi-
can capital last Friday, June 25.
When the courier started, practical
ly the entire garrison had been with
drawn to join the Zapata army on the
outskirts of the city opposing the at
tacking Carranza force under General
Pablo Gonzales. Gonzales had been
driven back with considerable loss
and was waiting for reinforcements
coming up from Vera Cruz before re-
newing the assault.
No mention was made of attacks
upon foreigners, so officials assumed
they were safe. Many stores had been
looted, the dispatches said, and great
mobs were rioting and seizing food
wherever found.
The dispatches were forwarded i'm
to President Wilson at Cor.
nish, N. H., and the situation will be
laid before Secretary Lansing today

Sensation in Washington

Washington, d. C. July 1.-The
news of the sinking of the Armenian
created a sensation in official quar-
lers, as it was the first case of loss of
American lives since the sinking of
the Lusitania. The gravity of the in
cident, however, and the action of the
Washington government depends al
most entirely on whether the Ar
menian was chartered by the British
government and was in fact a trans
port of war, aboard which Americans
would sail at their own risk, or wheth-
er she was an unarmed merchantmen.
In the latter case, even though car
rying contraband, the ship should
have been subjected to visit and
search and those aboard transferred to
a place of safety before the iestruc-
tion of the vessel.

Avonmouth, England, July There

nineteen who lost their lives when the
German submarine U-38 sank the Brit
ish freighter Armenian, carrying
mules from Newport News, Virginia,
to the French army.
The vessel had crew of seventy
two and carried ninety-six as mule
teers.
The man at the wheel sighted the
submarine and the Armenian was
pushed to it's limit of speed, but the
submarine overhaued her and COM
menced shelling. Some Of the crew
were killed outright when the tor
pedo struck the ship.
The submarines commander order
ed the Armenian to surrender or he
would sink her, but the ship contin-
ued until a she'll put her engines out

rendered and all the crew took to
boats. The submarine fired and hit

ORDINANCE is NOW BEING PRE-
PARED AND THE APPOINTMENT
WILL BE MADE AS SOON AS IT
BECOMES LAW.

The city commissioners are prepar-
ing an ordinance to be presented for
passage at the next regular cOnven-
ton that will create the office of
sanitary inspector, who will work in
conjunction with the city physician
in enforcing the sanitary laws of the
city.
This is deemed advisable. as it is
impossible for the present police force
to enforce the ordinance against cut
ting weeds and keeping premises
clean in addition TO their regular du-
ties as patrolmen.
The city officials claim that this
step is necessary because the people,
as a whole, pay little attention to
written orders to clean up their places
and maintain them in a sanitary
condition. 1t has been especially
hard the past spring to keep the
weeds down, as the rains have been
excessive, and they grow nearly as
fast as they are cut This new Of
ticer will have supervision over this
department and he will be respon-
sible for the sanitary condition of the

GRANARIES.

L. T. ReXroat, former representa-.
tive in the state legislature, now en-
gagged in farming at Wilson, was here
yesterday. Mr.. Rexroat is encouraged
over the prospects for big crop, and
expects tomatoes to sell for n penny
pound, and by the middle of July
one can buy for a lonesome dime all
the watermelons he can carry on his
back. Corn is so fine that the stalks
are threatened with a bigger ear
than they can carry. Oats and wheat
are in the shock, and there will be
grain shipments over the Ringing
line by the trainload Peach trees
are loaded with ripening fruit, and the
bean vines on the back garden fence
are loaded. Cotton looks little
wormy, but there is a chance for it
to come out and make a big crop.
Farmers do not like the daily rains.
and while they would rather hear the
whistle of the thrasher, but there is
no encouragement up to date.

CEMETERY BOARD AND THE CITY
COMMISSIONERS HAVE A MAT.
TER FOR ADJUSTMENT THAT
HAS CAUSED CONTROVERSY.

The cemetery board and the Board
of City Commissioners have a matter
before them now for adjustment that
has been the cause of considerable
controversy in the past but which
they hope to have settled once for
all in a few days.
The question is the one relative to
the price of lots at Rose Hill Gene
terry. Since the establishment of the
present cemetery the lots sold at fiat
rate of twenty dollars regardless of
the location. This does not seem
to be equitable to the city commits
sioners, neither do they believe that
the price is high enough for some of
the choice lots, and for that reason
they are going to call a meeting
of the cemetery board and adopt
graduated scale of prices on lots re-
naming in the cemetery.
The sexton was in the city today.
taking the matter up with the mayor
and commissioners, and as soon as
the schedule of prices has been
adopted it will be published, so that
the public will know where they are"
Considerable improvement is noted
in the appearance of Rose Hill ceme-
terry, but there yet remains lot OF
work to do there. and any assistance
the general public feels like donating
to the board will be gladly received
