PLAN TO PROTECT SUBJECTS

Ell Paso, April 1.-Salamon Nigri
and Rafael Fereze were executed at
Torreon in accordance with Villas
decree of death penalty for those con-
victed of circulating counterfeit mon
ey.
Nigri and Fereze were Syrian mer-
chants of Torreon. An appeal for pro-
lection of the property CT the mer.
chants hase been dispatched to the
Turkish embassy at Washington. 1t
is stated the merchants had shown
their money to Villa officials who de-
clared it was genuine. Shortly after
ward the soldiers arrested and exc
cuted the merchants.
The killing of two Americans by the
Carranza soldiers and the execution
of the two Sysians by Villa officials
became known here. Americans
were murdered to secure their cattle,
according to r. H. Aitkin, arriving
here after two months flight to the
border.
Brownsville, Texas, April 1.-Acci-
dent to an aeroplane operated by the
Villa forces besieging Matomoros is
believed to have delayed the plans for
an immediate attack on that town.
Part Of the aeroplane is in the Villa
camp at Las Rucias and te remainder
is in Brownsville.
The aeroplane is without an aviator,

nancial arrangements. The wheel Of
the. machine was smashed and the
damageds parts were repaired here
but not allowed to be carried back to
Mexico because of customs regula-
tions. The Villa officers are attempt
ing to hire another aviator.
Wilson's Plan.
Washington, April t1.--With the
hope OF securing permanent prOtec.
tion for $4,000 foreigners in Mexico
City, the United States government
has proposed to the Villa and Zapata
forces and to General Carranza that
the Mexican capital be declared neu'
trail outside field operations hereafter
in the Mexican civil war.
Villa and Zapata have agreed to the
proposal and are willing to evacuate
the city as soon as similar agree
ntent is obtained with the Carranza
authorities.
Depends on Carranza.
On Carranza also depends whether
the effort of the United States to neu
tralize the railway between Mexico
City and Vera Cruz will succeed, as
Villa and Zapata officials likewise
have given assent to this proposal
The plan as regards Mexico City con
templates an arrangement whereby
order will be maintained there by a
local council of prominent residents
selected by mutual agreement be
tween the opposing factions. The
capital then will net be subject tc
further attacks or changes of gov
ernlnent until central government
has been established Officials are
much encouraged by the prompt ac
ceptance by Villa and Zapata, and are
hopeful that garranza will be per
suaded to do likewise.

CHOOSE A NAME TO
FIT THE CASE

Shakespeare Cor was it Bacon) said
whats in a name?" The correct
answer is said to be t''more or less. -
One is reminded Of the story told
by Judge Simpkins. 1t seems that
he was travelling in strange part
of the country and stopped at an, old
negro's cabin to inquire the direction
to certain village. It so happened
that there were eight or ten colored
children playing in the yard, all re-
sembling one another and bearing
unmistakable likeness to the old man.
When the desired information was
sought the colored patriarch turned
to one of the piccanninnies and said:
Here, you Judas 1scariot, come and
see what this gemmen' done want"
He was asked why he had given
such name to his son.
lease it's a Bible name," replied
the old man.
But" suggested the judge, "you
could have found lots of names in
the Bible that would be better and
more appropriate for your son.
Deed, couldn't, boss" responded
the darkey. II already had eleven
children when he comes, so 1 goes

name, an I come to where it says it
'ud been better for Judas Iscariot
if he. neber been born
The old colored father at least had
the advantage of most of us in the
fact that he read the Bible, although
he did get the purport somewhat
twisted.
In the new illustrated Bible now
being presented by The Pioneer on
the educational certificate plan, the
various passages are made plain by
accompanying illustrations that por-
tray the actual meaning Of the text
Such a Bible has never before been
issued. 1t gives to the reader an en-
tirely new and correct conception
which is at once interesting and in
structive. The Bible thus becomes
an educational work of rare value
to young and old alike 1t is just the
book for the family-father, mother,
brother and sister-everybody that
would have desire to enlighten him.

bitter struggle waged at Springfield
some weeks, back when a sharply

Simple Names.

An eastern reformer has started a
crusade against middle names. "Can
you Imagine Julius B. Caesar?" he
snorts, '"or George F. Washington
or Napoleon McY Bonaparte?"
The first reference is unfortunate,
inasmuch as the gentleman's full ap-
pellation was Caius julius Caesar. He
was ashamed of it, however, and set
a good example to Thomas Woodrow
Wilson and Stephen Grover Cleveland
by dropping his front name when he
entered public life.
When you come right down to it,
two names ought to be enough for
anybody. A third name is generally
as useless as a third wheel on a hi
cycle, even if it does look we'll in a
birth notice or wedding invitation.
OF course, the more names a man
has tagged onto him, the less likely
he is to be mislaid or to have his mail
opened by strangers, but even those
advantages hardly justify French
mother in giving her helpless Off
spring Jean Paul Baptiste' Francois
George Jacques Andre for it's Chris
tian name. In Idaho a man boasting
or three initials is irrevently dubbed
"Alphabet," and it's no more than
he deserves
There have been lots of men who
amounted to something with only
one name. There was Moses, for ex-
ample. Would he have had any more
dignity or influence if he'd signed
his name J. Ezekiel Moses? And
there were Solomon and Alexander
and Homer and Scion and no end of
notables; in the same category.
Kings and emperors as class have
fewer names than anybody else. No
matter what silly queen-mothers may
happen to have them christened, when
they become their own bosses they
choose whatever names they like, and
. none Of them chooses more than one
It's just plain George or William or
Nicholas-not even an initial. And
as for hyphens, who ever heard of
a -hyphenated king? You've got to
get to- the top, it seems, in order to
find real democracy and simplicity in
names.

CEDAR HILL COMMUNITY CLUB.

On last Thursday, October 21, the
Cedar Hill Community club was or
ganlzed. The following officers were
elected to serve the first term:
President, Miss Annie Kelly.
Vice-president, Miss Fannie Will
burn.
Secretary and treasurer, Mrs. R. c..
Bishop.
The club Immediately began active
work and had a very creditable ex-
hibit at the fair.
One of the most interesting features
of the booth was the old ANTIQUES,
several of which can scarcely be sur
passed-an old coffee mill which
crossed the Atlantic ocean from Eng
land to Charleston 125 years ago, and
which is still being used every day.
There was then an old folding purse,
known in ancient times as reticule,
which was most striking. The work
done by hand on this reticule could
not be surpassed by machines of the
present day. Three old pictures, which
were over 100 years old, furnished
much interest. However the most
wonderful relic on exhibition was a
hand-embroidered wedding dress made
by Elizabeth Duckett 101 years ago.
Several other articles were of mppL
interest indeed. There were aE Hs
sword, an old reel, many years old,
petrified wood which was brought
here from Mississippi, petrified iye
soap and quilt made by Miss Annie
Kelly's grandmother, sister of Colonel
S. G. McKissick, in inlay work, and
many other beautiful quilts and home
spun counterpanes.
On display, there was beautiful
fancy work and drawings done during
school hours by the pupils of the Cedar
Hill Graded school. This was a credit
able exhibit indeed.
Miss Fannie Wilburn deserves men,
tion, too, for the lovely fancy work,
on display. There was an excellent
display of canned fruits. Mrs. Victor
Lawson had two jars of fruit put up
over Ia years ago, and which looked
like they had been put up in 1915.
pumpkin basket filled with de-
licious fruits of all kinds, furnishes,
another unique article for our booth.
We won first prize on our commune
ity exhibit, three first premiums and
a second premium on individual work.
Only one pair of chickens went from
Cedar Hill, but they, too, were not
overlooked, for they won second prize.

powerful neighs to let all hands know
where he was, Jerry came back to
the pier and waited to be hauled up.
This was accomplished after much
labor. by putting big slings under
Jerry's huge bulk and heaving him up
with two electric winches. When it
was all over, the men let go the equine
diver for a minute, and Jerry went
