A Warning to Federal Officers.

The following special from
Washington is interesting reading
and is conclusive evidence as to
the standing of the Wilson admin
istration regarding law and order
in our beloved country. While
special reference is made to Off
ciaIs cf the Department of Justice
no doubt it refers to all govern
ment employees With the large
army of government officials scat
tered throughout the United States
standing for ths honest, courageous
and impartial enforcement of our
laws, state, county and city Off
cials will have an example worthy
of their emulation
Following is the special
Washington. The attorney gen.
eraI gives 1t out plainly that in
some instances the department of
justice was being placed in an en-
barrassing position by the conduct
of representatives of the depart
ment in some states Those con-
nected with the depaT tment of JUS
tice are expected to do everything
in their power to build up and en-
courage respect for federal laws
also state and municipal laws.
Officials will be disciplined or re-
moved from the Service if their
conduct warrants such actions.
These views are strictly in accord
with the wishes of the president.

The Parent Teachers Associations
Cake Sale.

At the City Hall Wednesday af-
ternoon, the Parent Teachers Asso-
citation had cake sale for the ben
e6t of the Public School play
ground A sum of SIT was realiz.
ed, which will he used by the or
ganization IN buying equipment
for the children to be put upon the
school yard.
Is There was a great deal of inter-.
est shown in this first step toward
a better playground Material for
the cakes was contributed by the
mothers. Signs were made by one
devoted member, which the boys
driving automobiles eagerly put
upon their. cars to help the cause.
The third grade of the school do
mated four cakes, which we're bak-
ed in the Domestic Science Depart
ment of the school 1t is a nota-
BILE fact that the material for three
of these cakes was brought by the
third grade children from their
homes All were eager to have
share IN the donation. One little
child brought an egg held tight in
her hand; another little bag of
sugar: another little jug of milk;
another some -four in page of q
funny paper Nearly all
brought something. When the
teacher had made three cakes and
there was not quite enough butter
to finish the fourth cake, one little
girl voluntarily at recess ran all
the way home in the northern part
of the town and brought the desir-
ed amount of butter. Is it neces-
sary to ask, "Do the children want
a Playground"
After the Eale. the organization
met for an hour in session in the
City Hall. "The Value of Play in
the Life of the Child" was discus
sed. They responded TO the ques-
tiun. 'Give a reason why play
ground wopIi be a good thing for
your boy and your town " One
mother said it wouli be valuable
because our American schools are
becoming machines for turning out
stuffed brains at the expense of
bodily development.
The Association has a member
ship of forty five. All mothers
are invited TO join.

 WIRE AGAIN
Restoration of Order at NOgales Permits Calranza Agents to Restore Tele- graphic Communication With the South

Manager Brown of the Western Un- ion Telegraph company announces that II points of the west coast of Mexico including Hermosillo, Cananea, AgjIa Prieta, Magdalena, Guaymas and Ma zatlan are again restored to telegraphc communications with United States through the establishing of d tele- graph office at Nogales Junction by the Carranza faction of Mexican gov ernment.
 The restoration of wire talk with So nora and Chihuahua points is one re- suit of the victory of the Cananza forces over the Villistas in the recent fighting along the Arizona border. and marks one of the first felt improve ments in the situation, since the vari- ous revolutions began distributing the affairs of the southern republic, some years ago.
 The government is slowly restoring order in the north, where once Car ranza. then a revoltoso, was supreme.
 Another matter that may soon come up for adjustment is the shipment of cattle across the border.
