carefully consider this step as the
fDtuye of any community surely will
depend on how well it's members can
cooperate for the common cause. Let

library The day is past when man
without education can even preterd to
compete with the educated individual
and books and associations are one
means OF getting an education. We
want in this community building club
room where people of al nationalities
and all creeds can associate together
and feel at home We think of the
story of Pat and the bees:
Pat had a field of clover and one
neighbor cold him that he would have
to kill the bees before he could cut it
or they would sting him to death. The
6rst day Pat killed about 1900 and
o.d his wife he could finish the rest
the next day. Pat went after them
again, but it was not long before his
wife saw Pat coming to the house as
fast as his legs would carry him.
ooh, Pat, what is the matter?' she

COMPROMISE LOOKED FOR
 ON ARMY REORGANIZATION.
conferees of Senate mad House Will
 Renew Deliberations Today.

Washington, May s.-Agreement on the army reorganization bill was in sight tonight. Conferees of the senate and house, who will renew delibera- tions tomorrow, expect to be able to reach a compromise so that the first of the big defense measures may be on the presidents desk next week.
 That the senate eonferees would have to surrender the volunteer army reserve of 261,000 men, which the house so strongly repudiated yester- day, was admitted tonight by senate leaders, but they hope to strengthen the provision of the house bill author izing citizen instruction camps so that military training for thousands of citi- gems may be afforded and nucleus of volunteer army thus be built up. The senate conferees believe it would be useless to hold out longer for the vol unteer army in view of the house in- sistence that the national guard should constitute the main reserve military l defense force.
 Under the house bill as it stands thousand of civilian training camps must be instituted under direction oi ! the secretary of war.

 It is understood that General Obre- gon again brought up the subject of a definite date for American troop withdrawal from Mexico. He again was informed, it is said, that the American government is firm in it's refusal to make this concession. It was suggested to him that Tn view of the Big Bend raid, under the nose ot Carranza troops, the United States could scarcely consider the de facto government as fully capable yet o1 coping with the bandits.
 In the fact of this statement, Gen. eral Obregon is understood to have asked for more time to consult with General Venustiano Carranza.
 General Funston had planned to leave tonight for San Antonia. where at his headquarters in Fort Sam Houston he was to take charge o1 troop dispositions that will come witt the despatch of 5000 militia and reg ular army men to the border.
