Yearn to assauge the tears we weep,
We know that in the darkest night
Those faithful angels guard our sleep.

Mexican Situation

WASHINGTON. June president
wilson and his cabinet today adopted
a new policy to be pursued by the
United States toward Mexico. 1t has
for its object restoration of order and
the relief OF millions OF non-combat-
ants from the devastations OF Mexico's
military elements which have brought
about conditions regarded as intoler-
able.
The President read to the cabinet a
statement which is to be communicate
ed tomorrow to the leaders Of all Mex
lean factions, serving notice that I'M
less them, themselves, compose the
situation, some other means will be
found by the United States to bring
about the establishment of a staple
government in the republic. The
statement was approved after prolong-
ed discussion. 1t will be made public
tomorrow.
The specific course the United
States will pursue in the event the
contending factions fail to agree is not
outlined in the Presidents statement,
but the Administrations present pur-
pose is to give moral support to a
coalition of the best elements In Mex
ico' and accord the government there
by created formal recognition. With
such recognition would come an en-
barge on arms permitting the consti-
tuted government to receive NUM-
lions OF war to the exclusion of all
other elements and factions.

Germany Must Come ACROSS

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June l.
President Wilson determined today
that the United States must ascertain
definitely and very promptly from
Germany whether the Imperial govern
mcnt intends In the future to be guild
ed by the accepted principles OF inter-
national law and the rights OF neu-
trails, or to follow its own rules of
maritime warfare.
The President listened to a varied
expression OF opinion at a meeting OF
his cabinet. taking little part in the
discussion himself. Later he began
the preparation OF a note to be dis
patched before the end OF the week.
embodying his own ideas and what
seemed to him the consensus OF the
official family.
The verdict OF a majority OF the can
met was that the German reply to the
American note following the sinking
OF the Lusitania was unresponsive and
unsatisfactory, disregarded the good
will of the United States. doubted its
facts and disclaimed all blame for
the destruction of the merchantmen
with American lives. The questions OF
TACT raised by Germany were regarded
as irrelevant at this time. The trend
or opinion was that the United States
must inquire and obtain an early an
swer as to whether Germany intends
to recognize the hitherto accented
principles that neutrals may travel
anywhere on the high seas on unarmed
merchant ships-even IL carrying con-
traband and that merchantmen
which do not resist capture must be
visited and searched and the passen-
gers and crew transferred to a place
OF safety before the vessel is destroy
ed.

Increased Interest In Dairylng.

creamery. In addition to this the
Oakland creamery is hauling a large
amount or cream from this county.
With better markets than ever be-
fore, Preston farmers are showing
much interest in dairying. A great
many will remodel their barns during
the coming summer, others will build
silos. others will improve their herds
by better breeding. Some OF those i'm
proving their dairy equipment this
summer are b. T. Scott. j. w. Free

Garner, Sylvester Barlow, T. ID. Craig,
A. G. Brown and A. ]. Craig. Many
OF these men are cooperating with G..
l.. Oliver, dairy expert OF the u. s.
department of agriculture. He is glad
to furnish free blue prints OF the most
up-to-date dairy barns to interested
farmers. Those contemplating i'm
provements in this line will do well to
get in touch with Mr.. Oliver through
the county agent.
The following farmers are already

planning to do so in the near future:
Jacob Beachhy, ]. w. Dodge, ]. w.

Frederic s. Core

Frederic s. Core, only son OF ]. A.
and Laura S. Core, was called to his
heaven prepared home on May 18th,
1915. being 5 years. 8 months and 16
days old when death called him. Only
short life he lived here on earth, but
by his kind. amiable disposition. had
a host OF friends. His unusual sweet
temperament made him the idol OF
those who knew him best, and we ex-
tend to the parents our sincere SYM
pathy in their sad bereavement,
but instead OF mourning let us look
up and address him in the words of
the poet:
"Thy day has come, not gone;
Thy sun has risen, not set,
Thy life is now beyond
The reach OF death or change,
Not ended, but begun,
o. noble soul. o. gentle heart; hail,
and farewell.
Now the little chair is empty,
And our hearts are sad and sore,
But we hope to meet you Fredie
On the bright celestial shore.
Where there comes no hour OF part
ing,
No more sorrow, no more care,
And we know that Heaven Is brighter.
Now that little Freddie is there.
True we cannot see for blindness,
And we cannot understand
Why this darling little son
Should be snatched by deaths cold
hand
But our Visions growing brighter;
There is brightness in the sun,
Though our hearts are crushed with
sadness,
Help us say, THY will be done"
A FRIEND.

COUNTY FARM NOTES.
BY John Y. Mcdonald.
Cement Sno.

Jno. F. Copeman of Kingwodd dis
trict. expects to build cement siio
this summer. 1t will be 12x3s feet and
will hold approximately 100 tons. The
entire cost including labor will be
about $500. The cement will be pur-
chased at car load rates. The stone
and sand will be crushed on the farm
with small portable crusher. A per-
manent silo is a splendid improve
ment and there should be more Of
them in Preston county. Where home
labor is abundant. the cash outlay for
a cement silo is comparatively small.
The county agent is glad to make es-
Inmates on home made silos and CO.

A Few Suggestions for Boosting King

wood
Don't be the man who put sit I'm
city.
Building good houses builds good
town.
Save little money and save a lot
of worry.
Good roads lead not only to town.
but to money.
BE a live one and the town will
never be a dead one.
A nice front porch has prevented
many an old maid.
Why should the town muzzle dogs
and not knockers?
When some one plans to help the
town, plan to help the plan.
The best plans a man can have to
the future are house plans.
good way to make the world bet
ter is to begin with the home town.
A town is like a perambulator; IL
isn't much good unless it is pushed.
Don't spend all your time telling
what you could do il you had some
time.
BE like ball player. The thing he
Is always working for is home.
BE one OF the leaders OF the town
IL you can, but anyway. keep up.
III you think a COW can't laugh for
JOY let somebody sell you good silo.
Don't be a crouch. Everybody I'm
this town wishes you well. even the
doctor.
Let's not be trying to stop some
thing all of the time. Let's start
something.
A good town will do more to keep
the boys at home than good advice.
A town Is like girl. It's wonder
ful what a little fixing up will do for
her.
Opportunity knocks once at every
mans door; better be at home wbsn
the lady calls.
The world owes every man a living
but the street corner is a DOOR COL
lection agency.
Don't look for soft snaps; the hard
snaps are the ones that have the gin
ger in them.
Don't spend so much time talking
war that you haven't time left to talk
business.
III you would like to have somebody
working for you, put little money in
the bank.
III improves the soup to throw a lit
tie pepper into it. Same way with a
town.
If you spend all that you earn. some
other fellow is banking your money.
Many young man goes away to
seek his fortune when fortune is seek
ing for him at home.
Plaster your house and everybody
VIII follow your example. Lath and
the world laths with you.
You've got to be a citizen in order
10 vote; but you've got to do a good
deal more than vote to be a citizen.
If you will consider the men in this
town who are well off you will find
that most Of them made their money
here.
The big things were not all done i'm
the big towns. The greatest poem i'm
the English language was written in a
country church yard
There Is only one better man than
the man who gets behind and pushes,
in an effort to improve the town, and
that's the man who goes ahead and
pulls.

RloHrEous CONDEMNATION

On the front page we are reproducing
editorials from the Preston County Jour
nal and the Preston News relative to the
legislature increasing the state levy from
l0c to l4c. Neither the Journal nor the
News can be accused Of being hostile or
unfriendly to the Hatfield administration.
On the contrary, they have been Loyalty
supporting the state administration and
conRratulating il for the firm stand it
had taken against the increase in the
state levy and its determination to place
. production tax on gas and oil.
since the state administration has
proven that it was not sincere in its adj
vocacy OF license tax on gas and oil
but on the contrary it was heartily in
favor OF exemption, and equally as anx-
ious TO raise the state levy from IOc 10
l4c, the Journal and the News have risen
above partisan politics and do not hest
tate to condemn the Hatfield administers
ton for its betrayal to the people.
The Journal and the News are 10 he
heartily commended for the stand they
have taken in Il cir condemnation of
Gov. Hatfield and the members of the
Legislature who voted to increase the
peoples burden of taxation while exempt
Ing the special interests. This hearty
condemnation should go long ways to
convince the Republicans OF Preston that
the men who are in control of the Re-
publican state organization have formed
an alliance with the corporations of this
state to exempt them from further in.
crease in taxation. Thus it follows that
the increase must be placed upon the
shoulders OF the farmers and small prop
erty holders, which was done by the
recent special session of the Legislature.
As the News points out, already the
farmer and the municipal property owner
pay 57.4 per cent of all direct state tax.
But the Hatfield administration does not
consider this burden heavy enough, 80 il
adds cents more to the burden.
The question is, How long are the peo-
PIE going to permit themselves to be de-
ceived by the Republican state house
machine? Are not the proceedings of the
late extra session sufficient proof that the
Republican machine is owned by the
corporations?

As the Preston County Journal so aptly
puts it: "The Republican platforms since
1904 have all declared for the complete
abolition OF the state tax and the meet
ing OF the states expenses by a license
tax on coal, gas and OIL" Here the Re-
publican machine has been fooling the
people for eleven long years by telling
them that it would wipe out the state
tax. But instead of abolishing it as
promised 1t is steadily increasing it.
When the Democrats got control of the
legislature in 1911 they reduced the state
tax to ONE cent. This produced enough
revenue to run the state. Now the Re-
publican machine puts it up to YOUR
TEEN cents. And if the Republican
machine elects its state ticket in 1916 il
will soak Us proper.
