REMARK ABLE GAIN IN REV
 ENUES ALSO
School Statistics Show Excell- ent Progress in Education Af- fairs of Independence county

That the schools of Indepen- dence county are enjoying an era of progress and develop ment, along with all other ma terial interests of the county, is proven by the fact that the value of public school property in Independence county, has more than treb.ed in the last decade.
 Along with this enormous in- crease in the value of school property, revenues for the maintenance of the schools or the county have increased practically 30 per cent in the same period of time. And in the same time the average length of schoolterm has been increas- ed more than one month.
 The gain in the scholastic population of the county from 1905 to 1915 shows only a small per cent, but the gain in enrolment. and average at tendance show a remarkable increase, and affords substan- tial proof of the wonderful growth of interest being taken by the people in the education al affairs of the county.
 County Examiner Sidney Pickens has just completed his annual report to the State Superintendent of Public In- struction, and some interest ing data is contained in the re- port, as compared with simi- liar report for 1905
 The scholastic population of the county in 1905 was s. 592; in 1915 1t was SITS, a gain of 186.
 Enrolment in 1905 was D.

ARTILLERY ORDERED
 TO MEXICAN BORDER
Uncle Sam seems to be Getting Ready to Quell Riot of Mex ican Neighbors.

Washington, Aug. 4.-Unus- ual activity in the War and Navy Departments was evi- dent today and an order from General Scott, chief of staff, directing a battery of the Fifth Field Artillery to proceed from Fort Sill, Okla, to Elpaso, Tex. aroused considerable surprise. At the war department it was said the artillery was ordered at the request of the state depart ment. Secretary Lansing said he knew nothing about it.
 Plans for tomorrow confer ence on the Mexican problem were completed today. Pro- posals that are to be made to the six Latin-American diplo- mats whose governments have authorized them to coop crate with the United States to end Mexico's civil war, were discussed.
 No official information con- corning the reported lombard ment of the Mexican border town of Nogales was received. General Carraza has assured the State Department he would not permit the attack, and of fieials were at loss to ex- plain the reported action of General Gales, a Caranza
 1mmander, whose guns were
 Id to have opened fire on the town. General Funston, com manding all border troops, has standing orders to reply to the fire of the Mexicans if bullets fall in American territory.

CANNING FACTORIES
 IMPORTANT INDUSTRY
Kept Busy and Compelled to Run Overtime in Order to Handle Farmers Products

The Newark Canning Fac tory is developing into one of the greatest industrial ener- prises in this section of the county.
 l The factory has already put up about eight carloads of fruit and tomatoes, and it IS mo uncommon occurrence to see
 a string of wagons loaded with fruit or tomatoes lined up for more than a city block await ing their turn to unload fruit at the factory. Sc much stuff
 has been brought in this week that the factory has been un-
 able to handle all of 1t on the regular day run and the fac tory nas run several nights un- til 10 or Il o'clock in order to take care of the demands ofthe l farmers who are bringing in peaches and tomatoes.
 The bulk of the Elberta peach crop is being harvested this week, and this, together with the tomatoes that are
 coming in, is taxing the capac- Iity of teh plant despite the fact that it will readily can 20,-
 000 to 25, ,000 cans per day.
 It was feared early in the
 season that the factory would be unable to secure enough fruit and vegetables to keep it running but for the past several days it has seemed as If this entire section had turn led into a vast peah orchard with endless strings of wagons Iladen with fruit wendng their way to the canning factory. Thousands of bushels of peaches have been marketed here and the factory has prov en a wonderful help to the far mers who have had fruit to
 sell. They have brought it in and received the cash for it without the delay and uncer- tainity incident to ship ping it away to the St. Louis or bother foreign markets.
 The acreage of tomatoes IS mot sufficient to keep the fac tory busy, and it will, there fore not be able to make so good showing at the end of Ithe season as it might have done under more favoable cir Icumstances. but the promoters of the enterprise have made a thorough demonstration of tre fact that the canning factory, if given the proper support, en- Icouragement and cooperation, lis going to prove a very valu- able asset to the agricultural and financial activities of this Icommunity.

WAR BRINGS
A correspondent writing from Lon,

A correspondent writing from Lon
don says:
"War is making the British pub
lie sociable. Travellers who in times
of peace would occupy the same COM
partments for hours at a time with
out exchanging a word now start
conversations without an introduce
rion. This sudden breaking loose from
the Victorian spirit of reserve and
aloofness has caused the Times to
comment, editorially, on the change
which it calls one of the minor results
of the war. He first confesses:
"Most of us in normal circumstan-
ces go on railway journey as we go
to BARRIERS, with a prayer for 81
lence in our hearts and at the first
sign of loquacity we take refuge be-
hind. rampant of newspaper"
But now he finds it ''ludicrously
solemn" to sit muteiy tor hours, look-
ing straight through the fellow-crea-
tare opposite and concludes in be-
nalf of friendly intercourse between
passengers:
IF we only have the honesty to
admit it to ourselves, the sense Of
having done our duty in being friend
~ and pleasant gives comfortable
little glow ct the heart which more
than compenEatcs for an occasional

ANOTHER
ANNIVERSARY.

The nineteenth day of April, 1861
was a notable day for people of Bal
tiu1ore. The Sixth Massachusetts
Regiment had arrived in that city or
their way to Washington, responding
to the call for seventy-fve thousand
men to crush the newly-born South
ern Confederacy. Maryland abound
ed in southern sympathizers, and a
large percentage of the people of the
monumental city were averse to coer-
ton on the part Of the federal gov
eminent. On that memorable day
some of the principal streets of the
city were thronged with people, many
of whom were muttering against
troops hostile to the south marching
through Baltimore. Jeers and insults
resulted in the discharge of bricks
and cobblestones at the soldiers. The
latter were held in check as far as
possible by their officers until it was
finally deemed necessary to issue the
terrible order to fire. The command
was obeyed with readiness by the
exasperated soldiers, and several Bal
timoreans fell, some dead and others
injured. The battle between soldiers
and civilians was necessarily short
lived, stones not being sufficient to
answer bullets or bayonets, and the
Massachusetts regiment marched
through the streets and boarded Il
train for Washington. Bricks were
hurled at the cars as they passed on
aud the soldiers returned the at
tacks with their muskets.
Many sad scenes marked that event.
full day. AS is usual, innocent by
ISLANDERS were the greatest sufferers,
and children were FILLED who had UNI
fortunately allowed their curiosity to
draw them into the danger zone.
Alexandria at that time was viz
tually isolated from most of the
world. The Confederate flag was
floating here and there and wearers
of the gray were on guard duty.
The Gazette obtained its news from
Washington by "Pony Express" a
brother of James E. Legg ,one of our
old Citizens, made a trip to Washing
ton every night in buggy drawn by
white horse. He was compelled to
run the blockade and often incurred
danger. At the close of the memora-
BILE nineteenth day Of April the Ga
szette secured q copy of an extra is
sued by the Baltimore Sun, which
the Gazette reproduced in an extra
that night.
General Winfield Scott supposed
that seventy-fve thousand three
months men would be amply sufficient
to end the trouble between the North
and the South. He died the year af-
ter the war. The hero of the McXl-
can war realized that he was as UNI
able to peer into the future as others,
as the war had only about common
ced when the three-months men were
discharged.
