A BOYS SAD Time
Topeka Youngster Became Tangled in
Cruel Tree Band.

There is one fond mother IN south
western Topeka who is willing to sup
port enthusiastically an ordinance
prohibiting the use of sticky fly-paper
bands around trees after the shade
season of the year.
Among her household of bright chill
dren, Mrs. F., who lives in Elmhurst,
has a younGster of first grade age.
With a mothers diligent care Mrs.
F. dismissed her boy, spic and span,
for school the other morning. His
hair was combed down in the fashion
of all well regulated children. The
little trousers and waist were pressed
faultlessly.
One of the neighborhood lads has a
pet rabbit. The rabbit is the favorite
of the boys and girls of the block
The little F. schoolboy stopped in the
shade of a peach tree to view the
black and white animal. Leaning
back against the tree trunk he gave
the rabbit one fond hug before trot-
ting on his way to Lowman school.
Then the innocent little sticky band
around the tree entered the scene. A
mop of brown hair became tangled in
the mess of glue and captive bugs and
worms. A scream A frightened
mother. Fifteen minutes before the
last bell! Aha! Turpentine. Surely
this would eat away the sticky mess
in time for school. Application.
More screams and piercing yells. Did
the mother forget that turpentine
wasn't made for the tender scalp OF
small boys?

MEX AGITATORS BUSY
Interventionists Try to Mess Things
Clash at Conference.

Ell Paso, May 9.-Working unseen,
interventionist forces were active
along the border today. striving might
lily to upset negotiations between Cen
erals Scott and Obregon for a solution
of the Mexican situation.
The decision of the American COM
manders to send the Mexican expedi-
ton across the border caused friction
in last nights meeting between the two
war leaders. coming in the face of
General Carranza's request for the
withdrawal of the Pershing column,
and the meeting broke up without a
conclusion being reached.
While no arrangements have been
made for another meeting, there is a
feeling that negotiations have not been
declared off. Indications pointed to
another conference within a few days.
While Mexican authorities suspected
that European interventionists had
prior knowledge that the Glenn
Springs raid was to be made, there is a
distinct suspicion here that the guard
ing forces lay nearer home.
Plot Laid in United States?

asked permission of the officials of
