AN APPEAL TO LEADERS
OF ALL MEXICAN FACTIONS
Signed by Representatives of Pan
American Conference.

New York, Aug. 11.-SecreIary Ian
sing, on behalf of the United States
government, and the diplomatic rep
resentatiyes of Brazil, Chile, Argen-
tine, Bolivia Uruguay and Guatemala
today signed an appeal addressed to
the leaders of all factions in Mexico,
petitioning them in the name of hu-
manity and national patriotism to
cease their civil strife and assemble in
in a peace conference.
The action, taken after a two hours
session, was not joint, but identical,
preston of the views of their several
governments that the condition of
chaos in Mexico had injured the
prestige of the nation abroad. The
appeal urges the Mexican leaders and
generals to make effort to bring to-
gether all elements in the creation of
provisional government that can be
given worldwide recognition.
The communication will be given
the widest publicity throughout Mex
leo and will be delivered by the Dip
lomatic and consular agents of the
various governments signatory to it.
Replies are definitely asked for; the
hope being expressed that these will
be received within ten days after the
communication reaches the leaders
unless some just cause for delay pre-
sents itself.
Secretary Lansing, who left for
Washington tonight, will show
President Wilson tomorrow the text
of the appeal as finally agreed up

Picking is all that you get-you
haven't the spirit to hunt your game

You peck about under the bones
that the hunter discards and subsist
on gleanings.
You're constantly looking down
hoping to see something fall, and
when accident does cast a pittance
in your path you must battle with a
flock of other towards equally hung

Money does wonders in most cases,

people have to get a move on to get
any of it, and its agility in moving

Light and electricity are said to move
with great velocity, but l doubt if
they have anything on the almighty
dollar in this respect. Many people
have wondered why the eagle was
selected to ornament our gold and
silver coins. Itwas because like the
eagle, they move in circles to which
few men may aspire with any notice
able degrees of success.
In summing up, it may be said
that faith will move mountains, but
it takes an earthquake to move a
mother-in-law. Also, that if one
half the world does not know how
the other half moves. it is no fault
Of the modern fashions.

THE SPIRIT OF MOTHER
Bu T. w. L.

We have institutions that appeal
to our patriotism, principles that
challenge our loyalty. observances
that express our sentiment. but only
one custom that employs them all;
and in addition, expresses our affec-
ton; this is tbs celebration of
MOTHERS DAY.
All our successes are due, in more
or less greater part to our mothers;
for she it was who trained us in child
hood; and those who followed her
teachings are today patriotic, loyal,
and decent citizens. True, some of
us have fallen by the wayside, but
when we again 60 forth, we shall
not only be wiser and better men-if
sadder-but we shall still have the
precious memory of our mothers
teachings, recalled now, during the
long, weary hours of the night, while
paying the laws penalty, to guide
us Oh our upward climb.
Some one has said that Home
is provided by Father; but it is
what mother makes it." Ours is a
land of homes and the explanation
of this is easy to find, the mothers
thruout this North American Con-
tinent have given their lives more to
the task of home-making in it's full
lest sense, than in almost any other
part of the globe. They have had
freedom, opportunities, ,and resources
more plentiful than any other
country, and the time wherein to
study home-making, and the train
ing of the child to it's highest devel-
opement, mental, moral, spiritual,
and physical.
So to our mothers is largely due
our best principles, ideals, and all
our higher standards. By her ten
der care and teachings we are daily
being more and more elevated, and
it is largely from her we derive our
sincere patriotism, devoted loyalty,
and nobler sentiment. Hence
observance of MoTHER's DAY is a
fit expression of the obligation under
which all true men and women live
to the ones who primarily, at least,
gave that training. which has re-
suited in the biggest asset that the
greatest or least among us can boast
of. God bless our MoTHER's," is a
tribute we one and all offer from the
depths of our hearts.
