YOUNG MEN FIRE
AT RIVER OBJECTS
Motor Boats Endangered - Action to
Be Taken if Practice Continues
Carrying of Arms Prohibited.

1t has been called to the attention
of the Reformer that certain young
men have recently fired at objects in
the river, with rifles or revolvers, when
motor boats were nearby As one mo-
tor boat pilot expressed it: 1t S hard
enough to dodge logs without having
to duck, bullets.'
4 word to the wise Is sufficient, for
if this careless sport is persisted in,
complaint viii be made to the state 5
attorney, as the parties are well known.
Furthermore, there is IN ordinance that
expressly prohibits the use of firearms
within the village limits.

Boys Wanted in the Trades.
(Barton Monitor.)

Why don t more young men, who
cannot see their way clear to 90 to
college and enter the ovcrcrowded pro-
fessions or the business arena where
competition and lack of capital puts so
many through bankruptcy, take up
some of the trades which are crying
for good men. Carpentry, blacksmith
ing, printing and other trades are in
constant need of men who are capa-
BILE; men who have taken time to learn
their trade thoroughly from the bot
tom up; men who are honest The Mon
itor knows of few if any such men in
this part of the country who are long
out of work and the price paid is
usually substantial The Monitor is
speaking of men who know THEN
trades There are too many men now
who slight their apprenticeship. These
are the ones who are out of work and
out of "sorts'' with the world Sever
years was one time the apprenticeship
service for many trades. Three wears
is now called the apprenticeship ser
vice but most young men will not serve
their full time and call themselves
capable after time ranging from si1
! months to two years. Few if any per
sons can master thoroughly a trade il
| that length of time and it is foil
| to beerudoe a little time at the star
| and waste a whole lifetime in servic
| and happiness. Better reverse tn
/ method, select a trade to which YOU ar
| suited. serve time until YOU not onl
| know YOU are accomplished but YOU
| master tells you the same thing an
/ then 90 out into waiting position an
| comfortable life.

ANOTHER UPSET
IN MEXICO CITY
Senor 0rtega Brazilian Minister Leaves to Avoid
Expulsion Was Representative of United States
-CaHanza Expected to Proclaim Himself Pro-
vsiona President

WASHINGTON, August 9.-Carranza
officials here said today that the Brazilian
minister at Mexico City, the only diplo-
matte representative the United States has
in Mexico, has been withdrawn by his gov
ernment because Gen Carranza was pre-
pared to expel him from the country as he
did Senor Ortega. the Guatemalan minis
ter
The Brazilian minister reported to the
state department today that no reason had.
been given for the expulsion of Senor
Ortega and that he himself intended to
sail Wednesday from Vera Cruz On a
French liner for the United States
1t is believed here that Carranza ex-
PEELED the Guatemalan minister and was
preparing to expel the Brazilian minister
because Of the participation Of their eoun-
tries in the Pan-American conference in
Washington foI. composing Mexican affairs.
The development Is a very disturbing one
for the success Of the conference
Officials who hoped Carranza would Join
in the peace conference and meet the ef-
forts Of Pan-American nations to settle
the factional strike were disappointed
It was said by Carranza agents that
neither the Guatemalan nor Brazilian min
lister had been on good terms with Car
rama and that it had been Carranza's in
tention to hand the Brazilian minister his
passport as soon as he again reoccupied
Mexico City
The participation of Brazil and
Guatemala in the Pan-American confer
ence, they said, brought Carranza's re-
sentiment to a climax. 1t was recalled
that Castro, the dictator of Venezuela,
took much the same action when offended
by the foreign nations pressing for the
settlement of affairs IN his country.
State department adviees today said Car
rama was making hurried preparations to
move the capital from Vera Cruz to Mex
leo City Archives and clerks have been
moved to the capital since Friday The
impression in Mexican circles here is that
Carranza proposes to establish himself in
Mexico City and probably proclaim him
self provisional president in case Of Pan
American effort to bring the factions to-
lgether.
American naval commanders at Vera
Cruz have been ordered to place warship
at the disposal of the two diplomats if
they wish it. There are four warships in
that vicinity, the Wheeling and Machias
at Tampico, the Marietta at Progreso and
the Sacramento, on which the senior Off
| Ger, Commander McNamee, has his flag,
is at Vera Cruz
Secretary Lansing said he was consider
ing American representation in Mexico
! City in view of the departure of the Brazil
ian minister, but he did not know what
would be done He assumed that Ameri
e can diplomatic affairs would be in sort
!, of state of quiescence'' in Mexico City
The reasons for the Brazilian minister
4 visit to the United States at this time, tn,
q secretary said, were unknown to him.
