To Young Men

Youth is the time to prepare for old age. Not much use preaching to the young man so we will not attempt it.
 The average young man thinks of the present Not one in ten has a definite aim in life, but the one cut of the ten today will be the wealthy comfortably fixed man of tomorrow. Young man it is worth thinking about if you would only do so. Old age will surely come to you. Open savings account at our bank and you will never have cause to regret it.

water.soaked Watches.

What to do with a water soaked
watch is often problem when one is
caught in the wilderness, or in COM
munity where no jeweler is to be
found. Lack Of knowing what steps
to take often results in much expense,
if not in the utter ruin Of the watch.
Watches made with both screw
face and screw back may be dried cas-
lily by removing the front and back,
emptying the watch Of as much water
as will run out, reversing the crystal,
screwing it on the back OF the watch,
and then laying it where the sun will
have chance to reflect thru the
crystal.
The heat of the sun on the crystal
will draw the moisture from the works
in fifteen or twenty minutes, says the
Technical World. If water still re-
mains in the works, the crystal may
be unscrewed, wiped and replaced,
and the process repeated.
After the sun fails to draw any more
Of the water out of the glass it it safe
to conclude that there is no more in
the works. and the oil originally on
them, warmed by the sun lubricates
the parts.
There should be no more trouble
with the watch, although it is advis-
able to have 1t examined by a jeweler
at the eariies: opportunity.

GATHERED BY THE WAYSIDE


former years. An observation to this
erect was made by an old timer tho
other day. The advent Of the era Of
automobiles may bring it about If the
good roads movement goes on. The
other day at the River toRiver road
picnic at Abel there was IAN Immense
crowd 1t probably numbered 1000.
But 1t was not a larger crowd thGn
that town had on some occasions Of
political rallies years ago, as for in
stance. in greenback party days when
people came by the thousands and for
long distances to hear Weaver. Next
week the old Liberty Bell is sched-
uled to stop off in Des Moines for
visit. 1t will not attract great crowd
from the outside. There is no way to
get big crowd any more in Des
Moines. A circus will come nearest to
it. Yet thirty-nine years ago there
was celebration in Des Moines-the
occasion being the centennial celebra-
ton of 1S96-when there was said to
be $4,000 or more participated and
parade of probably 10000 persons.
Nothing like it has ever been wit
messed since. Now the Fourth of July
is hardly celebrated at all in the cit
les. The reunion of the Army of the
Tennessee brought to Des Moines a
crowd larger than any state fair day
in recent times.

use. Other tribes along the vert coast
still employ the bow and arrow fol
hunting and in some cases In lighting
any alien invaders.
While retaining his tribal tongue and
savage customs, the Yaqui became
skilled in military methods. He kept
his skillful manner Of guerilla warfare,
but adopted to q large extent some Eu.
ropean methods. In the attacks on the
Sonora-Arizona border towns the
Yaqui troops made desperate assaults
on the Carranza trenches. charging the
positions much in the manner OF the
European soldier It had been difficult
to make the Mexican troops do this.
The Yaqui in his natural stage OF
military development had used small
drums on which he gave simple march
Ing orders. These drums took the place
OF the voice or trumpet, and had the
advantage of their peculiar noise Of
making it difficult for the enemy to 10.
cate the source Of the sound. In mill.
tary service with his Mexican neigh
bors tho Yaqui developed q more exc
tensive system OF drum signals, until
his officers could command large NUM-
bers Of men to make all manner OF
movements. The Yaqui unlike other
Indians. always had marched in mill
tary formation until deployed for ac-
ton. Many battles were won by the !
noise Of their Yaqui drums which
seemed to terrorize the enemy when
the sounds of the beats appeared to
come from all directions. In some
cases a few Yaqui drummers would
crawl to the enemy's TANKS and by
beating out some signal, make It ap-
pear that the position was being SUR
rounded.
No reliable information is available
as to the Yaqui's actual numerical
strength. so varying are the reports OF
the Mexican military authorities and
American settlers. But it is known
that several thousand rifles, mostly
OF the military model are in the hands
Of the Indians, and that large amounts
Of ammunition have been obtained by
the hill tribesmen. The Yaqui's man
ner Of warfare, and familiarity with
the country would make most difficult.
it is believed by the valley settlers, his
complete defeat and disarmament.
