Owing to the primitive nature Of
many things in this wild and rugged
country some strange conditions arise.
Indians are still plentiful and Indian
money is still found in use for the pur-
pose of barter and sale. In an official
investigation made few weeks ago
it was found that even the county
treasurer of MendOcino county had
several thousand dollars represented
in Indian mOney-beads, and shells,
and red-headed woodpecker scalps.
The treasurer explained that this
had value which was better under
stood by the Indians that that of real
money, and passed current in trading
circles. One man told of buying
cigar, the price of which was "one
bit" (1212 cents). He handed over
a half dollar in payment and received
in change two-bit coin and a wood
pecker head. One don't call % cent
silver coin quarter" out here. It's
''two-bits." A farm is invariably a
ranch" a barn yard is a corral" a
piece of fairly level ground IS
mesa" and a hollow is a "coulee.
Well, dinner is ready, so anything
more that 1 may feel like saying VIII
have to wait for another occasion.
Sincerely yours,

deavor to persuade Villa to send rep
resentatives to the convention. After
wards 1t usurped sovereign powers
that ii did not possess and which
CarranZa never sanctioned. But Car
rama, putting aside the considerations
and rising nobly to the demands of the
situation, expressed to the conven-
ton in writing his willingness not
only to resign as First Chief in charge
of the executive power of the nation,
but to become an exile from his coun-
try IL the delegates ask this of him.
The single condition that he stated
must govern this abdication was that
Villa should resign his command of
the Constituencies army of the
North and If the convention so de-
creed, must also leave Mexico.
Story Of Convention.
The convention on November 9Th
passed a resolution calling for the re-
Antonio l. Villareal, Chairman of the
convention, thus describes subsequent
events:
After the absurd selection of Gen.
eral Gutierrez as Provisional Presi-
dent for 20 days, which had been done
in Difference to the wishes of Zapata,
myself and three others were commits
stoned to serve notice on the First
Chief that he was to resign Villa
had already agreed, so his representa-
tives stated, to tender his resignation.
We would have shortly secured Car
ranza's retirement had not General
Gutierrez, bullied into action by pres.
sure brought upon him by Villa, sum-
moned the latter to Aguascalientes
and placed him in command of all the
military forces in the country.
This act violated the previous reso-
luton of the convention and was con-
trary to its own mandates, or in other
words, contrary to the desires of what
was left of it, as 1t must be remem.
bered that out of the 155 registered
delegates many had withdrawn for one
reason or another until at last there
were only so members left and IS out
of this 60 had been recalled by their
signatories. A quorum in the conven.
ton necessitated 70 delegates.
"a brief resume of the situation at
this critical time might be stated as
follows: We said to Carranza: Retire
or we will fight you. your retirement
being made with the understanding
that villa will be forced to withdraw
We said to General Gutierrez and to

who held an equal rank with him in
the Constitutionalist army, because
the latter refused to accept his unau-
thorized dictation and withdrew Gen.
eral Hill from Sonora in order that
Governor Maytorena, Villas ally,
might control the situation and array
that State against Carranza's author
ity, that in a frenzy of anger he at
tempted to kill Obregon. Fortunately
being restrained from this by subor-
dinate officers, he highhandedly placed
Obregon under arrest These events
happened but a few days before the
time that the Mexico City convention
was to assemble.
When Garranza was informed Of
Villas unwarranted persecution Of
Obregon, he ordered the train service
north of the City Of Aguascalientes,
some distance south of where Obre-
gon was held by Villa, discontinued
temporarily from Mexico City, until he
could determine whether or not Villa
intended his treatment of Obregon to
presage a hostile military movement
against Carranza.
Villas InsoIence.
Villa sent a telegram to Carranza
asking him to explain what he termed
this hostile action against his division
of the North. Carranza sent him the
following reply: Before answering
your message which l have just re-
ceived desire an explanation of your
conduct towards General Obregon in
Chihuahua" Instead of Villa giving
the requested explanation to his su-
perior officer he replied insolently that
he would no longer recognize Carran-
"a the First Chief of the Republic.
In explanation of this traitorous con-
duct Villa gave the ridiculous and pet
ty reason that he had broken with Car
rama and was willing to plunge the
country into a civil war, because Car
rama did not have sufficient intelli-
gence or ability to govern Mexico. How
farcical this statement really was can
be best understood when it is ex-
planned that Villa tal scarcely read
or write and has never read single
book in his life, whilst on the other
hand Carranza is man of education,
culture and business experience.
The convention that Carranza had
called to meet in Mexico City opened
its sessions on the appointed day. Car
rama rendered his resignation as First
Chief to the convention and asked the
delegates to accept it If they thought

tunate incident. In due time the
greater part of the American people
also arrived at the understanding of
the patriotism that had prompted Car,
rama.
After Carranza had established a
government in the national capital he
issued a call to all the military lead
ers and governors of States who had
signed the plan of Guadalupe to meet
in convention on October LIST, in Mexi-
co City, for the purpose of drafting
a program of reforms and to name a
date for the calling of general cleo
tionS.
Villa, ever since his first break with
Carranza, had been throwing obstacles
in the way of a successful pacification
of the country. In order to show him
that he harbored no i'll feelings Car
rama named Villa to go with General
Obregon on a peace mission to settle
a local strife in the State of Sonora.
Villa in the course of these negotia-
tons became SO incensed at ObregOn.
The herald. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1905-1953, 1915-04-01

thereby such action would be con-
ducive to establishing permanent
peace in Mexico The convention
unanimously rejected his resignation
and passed a vote of confidence in the
First Chief
Villa and his army of the North had
refused to send delegates to this con-
vention. In last effort to settle the
difficulty between the Division of the
North and the remainder of the Con-
stitutionalist army. certain leaders
among the COnstitutionalists proposed
that a commission be sent to treat
with Villa and that the convention
itself adjourn from Mexico City to
Aguascalientes. Carranza, foreseeing,
as afterwards came to pass, the fulfil
ity of this action. opposed it. but final
ly allowed the delegates of their own
volitiOn to move to Aguascalientes to
treat with the chiefs of the Northern
Division.

MODERN DEFINITIONS.
The Rabv

A baby is small person about which
there is great diversity of opinion.
This is because every baby is con-
sidered perfect by the parents and a
perfect nuisance by everyone else.
There is really nothing new about
the baby. Its institution dates back
to the beginning of the world, and
ton. The garden idea, however, is
now obsolete, and for many years
the baby has been grown in the house,
with early transp1antings to the sun
light.
Every baby has good voice, q dis
tinct resemblance to some rich rela-
tive and an afternoon nap. The voice
is heard by everyone. but the re
semblance is heard chiefly by the rich
relative. The afternoon nap is heard
of everywhere as being necessary to
the baby, but sometimes the nap is
more honored in the breach than in
the observance. After the nap the
baby is unable to understand why it
should be expected TO sleep again at
night, and everyone else is unable to
understand why it should want to
stay awake. The baby's decision,
however, always carries the day-or
rather the night.
There are millions of babies, but
only two kinds-boys and girls. The
boy baby is always the maternal and
paternal selection for the Presidential
chair, and the girl baby is expected
to some day become the wife of a
gentle and loving millionaire who will
do his best to appreciate her.
Later on the Presidential nominee
develops a strong desire to become a
motorman, and the future million
aires wife is seen TO blush at the
mentioning of the plumbers son. The
fond parents sigh gently. In point
of looks, likewise, babies generally
bear a strong resemblance to their
well-fnanced and unencumbered rel
atives.
: Fashions may come and fashions
may go-but babies will always be in
