RECOGNITION OF
{ A X r ANA WILL

With the RECOGNITION by the Uuitcd
states of Nenustiano Carranza as pres
ident of the Republic of Mcxico, that
country will probably lose much of its
reputation as safe refuge for Grim
inals.
Lawbreakers who have fled from The
United states viii stlli be safe in the
territory controlled by leaders at en-
NIFTY with Carranza, but with the rec
o"nition of the First chief" as pres
ident, cNtradition treaties. along with
a LOT IF other treaties. Immediately be
come effective.
1t used 10 be 50 that a man who was
Ia fu"ttiNe from justice could flee into
Mexico and as long as he stayed there
he was comparatively safe. Then the
United states effected eXtradition trea-
ties and until Mexico was plunged into
the present unsettled condition inter
change of fugitiVeS was made between
the countries on the same basis which
exists between all civilized nations
District Attorney Nichols believes
restore the eNtradition treaties on the
Grounds that the recognition of the
First Chief means the recognition
of the Republic of Mexico, which will
put all treaties into effect
Whether CarranZa and Colonel Can
tn, governor IF Baja California, agree
on terms which are satisfactory to both
and whether Cantu, if he does not yield
to Carranzas terms, Will submit to the
serving of eXtradition papers drawn up
by Carranza as president of Mexico.
are two factors which will determine
whether the eXtradition of fugitives
can be effected in Baja California in
the future by officials in the United
states.

There are 176 army posts and sta
tions to house an army whose mobile
strength is barely $4,000 men. and
which should be housed in half that
number of stations. Every supertlu-
Gus station is an added charge Tor up

FIFTY millions "A year of the money
appropriated by Congress supposedly

"mllitary establishment" One-third OF
the annual appropriation thus goes for

90 posts would be better in every way
than 176, and some claim that very
few large pOStS would be more econ Jm-

Under our present system an officer
who in war time would be expected

The ladies of the Heber Club will

Given the county conference meeting
ON saturday. Never has more courte-
ous consideration been shown the dele
gates at any convention, and, despite
a general MISUNDERSTANDING as to the
date of the conference, never has any
hostess club been more ready to ac-
ccpl ana overlook the difficulties of
the moment.

for the occasion with screens, "A plat
form for the speakers, piano, and even

display windows by means Of curtains
from which delicious cold drinks were
served was attended by one of the
hosteSses, who saw to ii that the con

missions, but during the sessions as
well. The decorations were "epper
boughs and white gladiolus.

was served in an adjoining building.

The emergency of the day could not
have been more gracefully met. SO
successful, indeed, did the day prove
that many declared as they left that
it had been one of the most interest

experience.

Thacker to this position.
Mrs. II. Il. Vaile, chairman of home
economies, gave an interesting verbal
report of her work She spoke prin-

which, though not directly identified
