MAN Ut "nOTn many eyes IN
~ Mexico are now turning is
L Gen. Aware Obregon, who is
IN charge Of the Constitu-
tionalist forces In southern Mexico
Gen. Obregon was the hero OF the
battles of Puebla and Mexico city:
he il a new figure among the Mexican
chiefs. Next to the First Chief of
the Constituencies, Venustiano
Carranza, he Is the most popular man
in his party.
tntil few weeks ago, when he de-
feated the largest army ever gathered
by Villa ana Zapata, drove them from
their fortified positions and captured
the city of Puebla. he was little known.
II is true he had taken an active
part in the revolt against Diaz and
Huerta, but like many others he wa
soon forgotten. But when the news
OF the capture Of Puebla was followed
by the fall OF the city OF Mexico a
shout Of JOY went up from poems and
Indians and Gen. Obregon became
popular idol.
Strange as il may seem, Gen. Obre-
pon, while holding the fortunes Of
the Constitutionalist forces within his
hands, Is at heart no soldier at al,
While acqutting himself with credit
upon the battlefield he is dreaming ~
peace and tranquility. His ambition
is TO return t. his farm and cultivate
his little patch Of land. More than
once he has expressed his disgust for
he game of warfare. 1t Is a devils
game, he declares, in whicl human
beings should not indulge. Ncvcrthe-
.ess a Drawer fighter Is not to be found
in the ranks OF the Constitutionalists
In the days when Porhrio Diaz was
stll ruler of Mexico Oregon was a
farmer on the distant plains OF the
state Of Sonora. There. far away
from civilization. he lived his simple
life, hardly dreaming Of the days When
he would have 10 forsake his plough
for the rifle and sword. Then the
call came. II was In the days when
Francisco l. Madcro started the up
rising against D.az. Oregon thought
much and finally decided 10 fight for
the liberty Of HIS country.
Having once decided to Join the
revolution he did not waste any time.
He gathered about him his neighbors,
explained the situation TO them and
urged them to join the ranks OF tho
rebels. More than $50 men responded
70 his call. Obregon furnished his
little army with the necessary arms.
ammunition and horses. Leading his
followers to the nearest rebel camp
he offered his services to the cause
" the people. From that day on
| Obregon was one Of the military
| leaders OF struggling Mexico.
All the elories he won during the
revolt against Daz could not keep
\ him from his farm. As soon as
! Madero was established as President
ot Mexico Obregon refused to have
| anything to do with military forces.
! He had no personal ambitions and ne

normal life OF farmer. But he was

HubbardS Recipe

Elbert Hubbard said at SO he
had never consulted a physician
and never was sick an hour In his
life. He thought a man ought "a
live five times the length of the
time he spends reaching maturity,
which is 20 years. That would
make us all 100 years old at death.
His recipe for living 100 years Is
this:
First:-Deep breathing in the
open air with your mouth closed.
Second-M Moderation In eating;
simple dishes; Fletcherize; eat fruit
every day, especially bananas.
ThIrd-Exercise at least two
hours IN che open each day, walk
ing, working in the garden, and
playing with the children.
FOurth-Sleep eight hours 10 a
thoroughly ventilated room.
Flfth-Drink all the water be-
tween meals you care TO.
Sixth-Don't bother TO forgive
your friends; just forget them.
Seventh-Keep busy. 1t is a
beautiful world and we must and
will and can leave it more beauti-
full than we found it.

Where Income Tax Falls.

Springfield Republican: Many of the
states in the west and south pay very
small sums to the federal government
on income tax account. This fact was
anticipated and much emphasized by
opponents of the tax when it was in
the legislative stage. In their view, it
was a sectional abuse of the power of
taxation. If wealth, however, is to be
made to bear it's fair share of the bur-
den of government, it must be reached
regardless of mere geographical con-
siderations. 1t is not of the slightest
consequence that the east pays the most
of this tax. If the east has the wealth,
the east ought to pay.
1t is not necessary to repeat that the
federal income tax has come to stay.
With so many people clamoring for
greater preparedness for war the i'm
possibility of ever abandoning this
source of revenue is apparent. Larger
armies and navies. with all that they
imply, mean larger appropriations.
The rich must pay.
