that he believes that Mexico belongs
to the MeXicans and that the
trouble in Mexico is a family affair
among the Mexicans and that the
United States would have no more

Uncle Harry Explains The Guerrilla Warfare ID Mexico

HAS war started again in Mexico?'
asked Jimmy.
mo. it has not" said Uncle Harry.
That is, if you mean what is called
regular warfare; that is. war be-
tween two recognized armies. There
is only one regular army in Mexico
now and that is the army of the gov
srnment. which is under the direction
of the temporary president of the
Mexican epublic-Carranza.
We'll. then. if there isn't war in
Mexico how did that party of Ameri-
cans come to be killed recently ask
cd Joe.
"They we're the victims Of what is

Harry.
What's that asked Jimmy. "!sh't
that regular war; isn't that what has
been going on in Mexico for several
years?"
president Wilson and Secretary OF
State Lansing do not regard 1t as
such" said Uncle Harry. "and through
the reports which they receive every
day from their representatives in
Mexico. ! guess they are as well in
formed about the true conditions in
the country south of Texas, as any
one in the United States.
"You know, boys the trouble in
Mexico started several years ago when

But what became of Villas army?"
asked joe
The answer to that question will
explain about the Killing of the
Americans" said Uncle Harry. MANY
of Villas soldiers surrendered to
President Carranza's army and agreed
to be law abiding citizens. But some
OF the soldiers were disappointed that
their leader villa did not become
president ana they scattered in small
bands and started 4 guerrilla waI
fare The word 'guerriia' comes from
the Spanish word guerra which
means war and the whole word
means a petty-small, irregular war.
by the way, boys, do you remember
reading in the newspapers. some time
ago about small band of Indians
who went on the war-path out in
Utah?" asked Uncle Harry.
"Yes. indeed. and didn't President
Wilson send an army general out to
see the Indians and he made peace
with them. didn't he?" asked Jimmy.
That's right. Jimmy said Uncle
Harry. and then he added. THAT
was a guerrilla war Now suppose a
party of Frenchmen had been travel
ing through the United ST tes at the
time and the president OF France had
warned the Frenchmen not to 90 into
the Indian country and the French
men had gone and the Indians had
killed them--do you think the French
government ought to have declared
war on the United States or sent SOL
diers to this country
Certainly not. said Joe.
"That is the way President Wilson
and Secretary Lansing look at this
guerrilla warfare in Mexico. Secretary
Lansing says that he warned all
Americans in Mexico not to go into
the parts Of the country where Villas

Americans who were killed were on

FRESH VEGETABLES
DURING THE WINTER

Few people realize the number Of veg
eatables that may be kept in the fresh
state for winter use.
The essential conditions for the stor-
age of all root crops including such
vegetables as potatoes, beets, carrots,
horse radish. parsnips, winter radishes,
ruta baga, satisfy, turnip. kohlrabi and
also cabbage. are that they be kept
cool and moist, away from air current.
Storing should be done as late as pos.
sible, avoiding freezing.
These conditions may be met in sew
eral ways. The simplest for home use
where, only a few of each are to be
stored, is to place them in a box Of
moist sand or soil in layers and leave
in cool part Of the cellar.
Where large quantities are to be kept,
they may be put in what is known as
an out-of-door pit. Only whole speci-
mems free from disease should be used.
The method is as follows: The vegetable
are placed in a conical pile on the sur
face Of the ground in well drained
location. A covering Of six to eight
inches Of straw or litter is then placed
over them. and covering Of as much
soil. commencing at the bottom and
working toward the top. Tn severe ell
mates later covering Of manure may
be necessary as soon as the soil freezes
In this way, vegetables may be kept
in perfect condition until well along in
the spring J. Gardner. Colorado

LINCOLN PORTRAYED IN
THE BIRTH OF A NATION

Joseph Henabery, the actor who por-
trays President Lincoln in D. W. Grif-
fifth IS historical spectacle, "The Birth
of .Nation,' was selected from TWEEN
ty players who were coached and pre-
pared for the part before the choice
was made, Mr.. Lincoln IS appearance
and mannerisms were carefully coun-
forfeited, even to the small but inter-
esting detail of the president reaching
back for his shawl just few minutes
before Wilkes Booth attacked him.
1t was spring day in Washington
April IA, 1s65-but late frost had set
in that night and it was raw and cold.
Mr.. Lincoln felt the chill and drew the
shawl around him.
The first scene in "The Birth Of
Nation' showing the war president is
of Lincoln signing the call for $4,000
volunteers. Around him are his cabinet
heads and private secretaries. Lincoln
fully realized the momentous character
of the act that summed federal troops
to subdue the individual sovereignty
of rebellious states. After the deed
was done and the attending company
departed, he slowly buried his face in
his hands as if in prayer.
