The Girls Agricultural Club will
make an exhibit at the Waterville Fair
this week, the Waterville Chamber Of
Commerce having donated 500 in
prizes to be awarded at this time to the
girls and clubs who exhibit. Word is
received that on the whole these clubs
are doing splendid work. One Of the
clubs in particular has been designated
as being perfectly splendid" With
out doubt this is due to the interest Of
the members which was aroused and
held by their efficient local leadership.
The Secretary of the Waterville
Fair has set aside a section in the au-

MUNICIPAL ELEC-
TONS ON SUNDAY
SEPT. 3 IN MEXICO
ASSOCIATED Press correspondence }

(Associated Press Correspondence
Juarez, Mexico, Aug. 2S.-Through-
out all Mexico, except in the capital
where civil disturbances have caused
a short postponement, municipal e1ec-
tions will be held on Sunday, Sept. 3
a fact of more than ordinary import
ance for it marks the first step in a re-
turn to civil control and an advance
toward Democratic government in the
country.
Municipal elections, in the Mexican
sense. are not city elections, as the
"municipio" is a district of a state
analogous to the American county.
The large cities are, however, separ-
ate municipios. But neither they nor
the country districts have ever in
Mexican history enjoyed home rule.
Power for the various districts to
manage their local affairs was granted
by the reform law of December 1914.
But First Chief Carranza has only now
decided that the republic is sufficiently
pacified to permit the experiment.
The second step in restoring civil
government follows at a date yet to
be announced, when governors and
state legislators will be chosen. The
final act will be the balloting for
president, judges of the supreme court.
senators and members Of the chamber
Of deputies.
Although enemies of the CarranZa
administration, such as the adherents
of the Diaz regime, have not had the
hardihood to put tickets in the field.

This trouble commonly called sick head

this is true.

Educational reforms, covering not

in the Juarez club platform.
A curious demand is for the restora-
ton Of the old free trade zone-a strip
along the Mexican side of the border
where all foreign products used to
enter free This was abolished over
20 years ago at the demand of the
merchants Of Zacatecas and other trade
centers of those times. The program
states that all the tariff ever did was
to kill business in Juarez by driving
it's merchants to Ell Paso.
The national issues taken up in the
later elections will include agrariau
reform, dealing with the distribution
of land among the poems and the di-
vision of the old land grants. Equal
