Of course we took it in.
''The crops are fine here in the East,
and the state highways are simply

READY TO BLOCKADE PORTS
American Pacific Fleet Is PREPARED to
Act Quickly.

San Diego, CAL, June 21.-With the
departure from this port of squad
ron OF armored cruisers and a fotilla
of torpedo boat destroyers, the great
est naval demonstration in the history
Of the Pacific fleet with the west coast
OF Mexico as it's objective was re-
corded.
Not since the inception of the Mex
lean troubles has there been such a.
powerful fleet sent to the Western
Mexican 1ittoral for patrol purposes,
nor has an American admiral ever
taken the precaution to so place his
fighting ships that within a few mo-
ments after an outbreak of hostilities
he could effectually blockade every
West coast Mexican port from Buay-
mas to Salina Cruz

PRESIDENT SENDS 7
NOTE TO CARRANzA

Washington, June 21-The Ameri.
can government threatened General
Venastiano Carranza with "the gray.
est consequences if he attacked
American troops now in Mexico.
This threat was contained in a long
note replying to his last withdrawal
demand. Full of shortarm diplomatic
jabs the note positively declines to
take the American forces out of Mex.
leo. It excoriated Carranza for his
failure to cooperate and resented his
brusqueness and his intimations OF
bad faith
In this exchange of notes between
President Wilson and First Chief
Carranza each charge the other with
treachery, dishonesty, lying and malev.
olent design. The note from Carran.
"a, written May %, but never pub.
lished throughout this country, was
intended manifestly not for President
Wilson, but for the people of the
United States.
The reply to it is just as plainly
not intended for Carranza, but pri-
marily for the people of this country.
Carranza appeals to the people of the
United States in the forlorn hope that
if he, could get his case before them
he might stop what he asserted he
believed was we'll considered design
of the American government to invade
Mexico.
The president, replying to Carranza
has written a note very plainly de-
signed to meet the charges in the Car
rama note, and has caused it to be

BITTER ATTACK on WILSON
Chicago Mayor Severely Scores Presi-
dents Policy.
@ by Momt

Chicago, June Pitt is an example
of the coolest blooded politics I have
ever SEEM" was Mayor William Hale
Thompson's comment on the presi-
dents order calling out the militia.
''For three and one-half years." the
mayor continued, american citizens
have been murdered in Mexico Yet
the president waits until he has been
renominated to start a move toward
righting wrongs in Mexico. The presi-
dent sent the navy to Vera Cruz to
punish an insult offered to the Ameri-
can flag, yet the navy put it's tail be-
tween it's legs and came home with
out doing anything."

The Builders Annual Roast.

The annual chicken roast Of
the Builders Class of the M. E.
church was held at Blacks grove
last week on Wednesday evening.
The Builders are composed of
fifteen to twenty regular attend
ance at Sunday school, a number
of the teachers and officers of the
Sunday school and a few intimate
friends of this class and its MEM
bers. Forty members were
present on this occasion. The
fried chicken was plentiful as
we'll as other eatables which each
family provided. After the re-
past games OF the olden times
were played for a while after
which 4 roast paper written by 4
Baxter Bard was read. This
paper made either honorable or
otherwise mention of each mem
Der of the class, enough to say It
was full of wit, humor and Jokes
which in some cases were only too
true.
The president of the class has
named a committee to organize
the members into committees and
assign definite work along lines
of visiting the sick in town,
looking after the needy and such
other charitable work which is
essential on different occasions.
It will be the aim of this class to
more nearly exemplify the work
which its name Builders" signi-
fees. Keep your eye on them in
the future. They may call on
you.

All former records for enroll.
ment in the Cherokee county
High school have been put In the
shade BY this weeks registration.
Four hundred and ten students
had enrolled up to Wednesday
evening and 4 number always
come In during the first few
weeks. The total enrolment of
last year was slightly under four
hundred.
Miss Oliphaut enrolled the
400th student Wednesday morn
ing so the students can truthfully
say they belong to the county's

The Freshman class naturally
has the largest enrolment. The
facts IA figures" show that 1876
Freshman have enrolled of whom
70 are girls and &c boys. The
Normal course is 4 favorite with
the Freshman. There are two
Freshman in the Agricultural
course. The Junior class is the
smallest in school, out of a total
of 70, only 10 are boys. The
girls outuumber the boys almost
three to one. Even the Senior
class has a larger number than
the Juniors. At present there are
8S would.be graduates of whom IS
are girls, an unusual fact about
this class is that 81 of its
members nearly two-thirds are
taking normal training work,
of these fifty are girls and there
are four boys. Mr.. Dale says
there will not be such 4 large
number for years to come.
The Sophmores, the second
largest class in school, have 60
girls and "a boys making 103
altogether.
There are two girls and one
boy taking post graduate work
and students doing special work.
The total enrolment shows that
143 boys and 267 girls are doing
work in Cherokee county's insti.
tuition of learning. The enroll
ment speaks for a bigger, better
school and the brightest pros
poets for future growth.

Dear Mr.. Hughes:
You'll please excuse

Or fail to properly enthuse,
When you break loose.
The papers give me all the

And more advice than I can
use;
But when l try to get your
views
On public questions, then I
lose my patience,
And l sigh and say, 20 what's
the use!"
/ give the devil all his dues:
l rather liked you, Mr.. Hughes,
When you were Judge. But
when you choose
To be a knocker and abuse
Our President, ! must refuse
To read your ''oose."
The Democrats you still accuse;
Your lamentations l peruse.
These may alarm-they can't
amuse,
And thinking men they won't
confuse;
But altogether, Bro. Hughes,
You're too profuse.
One final word before adieus:
If you would stand in Wilson's
shoes
You'll have to try some other
ruse-
For, BY the gods, you're going
to lose!
The Republican party will get
its dues;
Your up against it, Mr..

At present the excitement here IL

On our way south we stopped
at the Lucky Kid mine at Gen.
fury and were shown through
the big mill by courtesy Of Ed
Wyatt and Engineer Smith who
were on duty. There were many
things to interest a greenhorn
such as milling dirt, etc, but
the most remarkable of all were
the eight new sludge tables put
in TO work over the old tailiugs
and taking ont the zinc or jack
that heretofore had been lost.
This new operation alone pays
the expense of operating the big
mill we are told.
All this was new to as and our

amuse some practical miners but
what we are trying to tell we
hope will impress some Baxter
people with the Importance of
getting out and going after the
business that Is ours for effort.

A Trip Through the Mining
District.

A Judge up in Minnesota once
remarked that people Of the
present generation had become
divided into two classes, the
tired and the rubber-tired.
Owing to his love for serving
the public with little thought
given to remuneration therefor,
the newspaper man 10 largely OF
the former class. So We don't
ride in automobiles much, and
not at all unless we are 30 fortu-
nate as to have friends who
possess cars. Sunday It was the
good luck of the editor of this
great family journal to have his
family and himself, together
with The News foreman, Jas. H
Smith, and Miss Clara May
Noble, invited by H. Mackey,
agent for the Studebaker, to take
a trip down through the mining
district south and west of Baxter
Springs. After a ride in that
new Studebaker 4, we have be-
come more anxious than ever to
get in the rubber-tired class. and
might get there if all our faith
full readers were to pay up their
subscriptions.
But we are getting of the
track. What we wanted to tell
about is the big surprise we had
when we got out west of town
less than a mile and began to see
one continuous line of drills at
work exploring the ground for
mineral. We had frequently
heard it said that the mining
operations we're working this way
but hadn't got it through our
heads yet that it had come right
up to as and all but into town.
Then when we got as far as
Pitcher and on through Cardin,.
Century and Commerce we we're
further impressed with the i'm.
mensity of the industry that in
few years had created 30 many
mines and immense mills, and
attracted so many people. 1t set
Us to specializing on what Baxter
Springs will be a year or two
hence when the new ore field
next to town shall have been de-
veloped as much as the Picher
and other camps now are. Also
what Baxter Springs could gain
even now if some regular train
service were to be established
between here and Picher, Cardin
and Commerce.
These mining camps are rough
and uninviting for homes while
Baxter. 80 near, is one of the
prettiest cities in the middle west.
1t goes without saying that many
who are employed in these camps
would keep their families here,
where there are good schools and
social advantages, If they could
get back and forth morning and
night at a moderate cost.
Also many from there would
come here to do the bulk of their
trading, because the stocks in
these new towns are small and
prices are high. Then again,
because building sites in these
mining camps can not be bought,
only leased, big buildings to
