Gen. Scott is a giant in action and

You remember, don't you. when Gen.
Scott came out of the west to be made

This theory of the generals soaring

Clothing for Cows.

IN various parts of the world it has

Not long ago. along the Mis-
sion road to San Mateo county, Cal,
there was presented the unique spec
tacle of a herd of thirty-five cows each
wearing covering consisting of four
ordinary barley sacks sewed together.
The blankets were fastened by cords to
the legs of the cows and tied about the
neck.
The cows were being driven to a
ranch near the ocean shore. One of
the owners, on being questioned. said
that the idea was common in the cold
countries of northern Europe. He ex-
planned that the ranch he owned in
San Mateo county was situated very
close to the ocean. The climate was
cold. The breezes which blew from the
sea were very penetrating. The cows
would be chilled. and the owner would.

In some of the European countries
the cows are blanketed in the winter
months and kept in large inclosure.

Advance of Prohibition.
From the Chicago Journal.

From the Chicago Journal.
The plan to prohibit the sale of dis
titled liquors while letting wine and
beer alone. which was burked SO quick
ly, is a measure more likely to follow
prohibition than to precede it. If abb
solute drought is tried and does not
work well, then such a compromise
has good chance of adoption; for
probably all will agree that whisky.
brandy and gin are far more danger
GUS to personal and public welfare than
beer, ale and claret. But at present
the lines are drawn for a fight to a
finish, with no prospect that quarter
will be either asked or given.
The opening guns of the battle
against booze" in Chicago have been

the war will be won and finished be-

doubtful, but it is well to remember

You may think it was done through
diplomatic channels. but in reality
there wasn't any more diplomacy In II
than there is in a torpedo.
Gen. Scott went there specifically to
arrange that the town of Naco should
be neutral territory: Other border
towns were to be held by the raggedy
armies of various Mexican chieftains
who wore silver bells on their sombre-

So Gen. Scott went over into Sonora
to tell Maytorena to be good. There
was an exchange of courtesies which
began with a flourish and eliminated
in pledges Of undying love on the part
of Maytorena. Then, after the froth
had been blown away, Gen. Scott be-

you to promise to keep out of Naco and

Gov Maytorena began a long ha-
rangue about how much he thought of
the United States, but he carefully
avoided saying anything ABOUT making
Naco neutral territory.
Gen. Scott brought him back to earth
with a bang:
II want you to sign this agreement
to keep out of Naco and quit shooting
Americans" he said.
Gov Navtorena couldn't POSSIBLY see
his way clear to sign any agreements;
this was war time, and there were so
many lawless bands abroad; he couldn't
possibly be held responsible for the

sharp jerky tones, Il want you to do

Certainly, Gov. Maytorena would be
very glad to do the honored chief of

II want you to repair all bridges from
your territory across the Colorado into

"And why?" asked the surprised May

to get all Americans out of your coun-
