Occasionally a farmer living in the

trains speed past as though Ellis

It out in passing.
Story OF n Man and n Woman.
That which happened was on a
spring night more than thirty-1ve
years ago. A man and woman who
had tickets to Ellis nlighted late in
the afternoon. The story has been
kept alive by word Of mouth. SO nat

or the man not scrap OF description
remains. Apparently there was not
anything about him to attract even
the casual attention Of the trainmen
or passengers.
Several persons on the train noted
them as they started eastward down
the tracks. II was accepted that they
were walking out In the country to
visit relatives or friends on some of
the nearby farms. The train steamed
away and out Of sight.
The next morning a gang Of track
laborers found the girl dead beside
the tracks. There was n revolver
wound in her head. No sign of a,
struggle was apparent. She was ly-
ing as peacefully as though she was
asleep. The ground about was dry,

ara relther she nor her companion
had left any footprints. The alb
senco OF footprints gave no clew as
to the direction taken by her slayer.
Her Identity Mystery.
II was not suicide, for there was
no weapon beside the body. The body
was not identified. There were no
marks on the clothes. There was no
pocketbook, no rings, lockets or any
thing that would indtrtrs who size
Was or from where she had come. All
that remained was the body Of
yong woman who had bsen yoJDs
and beautiful.
An inquest was held on the spot,
but nothing was developed. A search
for the man was made. but no had
disappeared. So they buried the dead
girl where she had been murdered;
without coffin. as the story goes.
II seems strange the case ended no
quietly, but there were no relatives
OF the girl to inspire search. The
man was gone, no one knew anything
about the case and 1t ended right
there.
No reports OF missing girl an
swered the description of the body
found were circulation. II she had
a father and a mother living they
never knew what became OF her.
In any case her people were spared
the terrible knowledge Of her fate and
through the years that followed they
had the consolation that some day
they might hear Of her; that letter
might come. Grief and anxiety may
be spread over number of years.
Dull pain may take the place OF
keen shock. II may have been, and
probably was, that her friends and
relatives, II she had any, kept alive
a spark Of hope through the long
years.
The Grave Today.
That was more than thirty-hve
years ago. Today the grave is as
fresh and neat as the day It was
made. Section men have tended the
lonely spot throughout all the years.
Chats or crushed gravel was spread
over the mound and the grass and
weeds have always been kept down
in the little plot.
The headboard has been kept fresh
ly painted. Several times 1t has been
renewed. There is 10 official rail-
road order commanding the gangs

Of the city or the country is advised
by the government and by the various

sort.
The wiEdom of this advice is evil
dent. We have already felt the eff
fects Of the great war-we are, from
day to day. in everything we pur-
chase. making our financial contri-
buttons to the havoc and devastation
that the war produces. The need Of
doing something to OFFSET the higher
cost OF living is obvious. We can
serve ourselves and the world at large
in no better way than by eliminating
a waste that is. every year, an apalI-
ing extravaganza without excuse or

Preserving and Canning Spell
Economy for Thrifty Housewife

The prospect for n generously suf-
flcient crop Of fruits OF various kinds
is said by the expert forecasters to
be good. Cherries, peaches, plums,
apples and the berries are expected
to be plentiful. With this in mind
the federal government bureaus con-
cerned with such matters and soCie-
ties Of one kind and another formed
for the betterment of living condi-
tons are urging that time be taken
by the forelock and preparations
made for conserving more OF the
fruit crop than ever ehrtofore. All
of us know that the waste in our
fruits is enormous.
Before autumn is again at hand
It is predicted that the cost Of living
will he even greater. All the staples,
II is said, will advance in price. and.
at the same time, everything re-
Quired by human beings, not only to
feed them, but to cIothe and shelter
them will follow the upward course
OF the food cost. The dollar that buys
less now than II bought year ago is
likely to buy still less six months
hence. Nor is there any prospect OF
a downward trend within the year.
Even should peace come to Europe 1t
IS the opinion of those we'll qualified
to Judge that high prices will con-
tlnue.
Get Hold of the Fruits.
There is, accordingly more need
now than in the past to make provis-
ion for the future. And more need
to put an end to the extravaganza and
waste that hitherto have marked our
handling OF the fruit crops, especially.
There should be few reports this

GIVE cARRANzA A CHANCE
President Wilson will take no action
to determine whether a change in his Mex
lean policy Is necessary until the following
facts are established;
Whether the Carranza Government
actually was at fault for failure
specifically to protect the men muir
dered in Chihuahua state.
Whether the Carranza Government
has done everything II could to pro-
tect foreign lives and property and to
stamp out all bandit gangs.
Whether Carran2a actually is maxi
ing an honest effort to re-establish law
and order and Ia employing all means
at his disposal to bring this about.
whether the men murdered in north
ern Mexico had full knowledge that
they returned to their properties in
opposition to the expressed wishes OF
the United states Government
Whether the murdered men travelled
on safe conducts issued by the Car
ranzista authorities at El Paso and
Juarez.
Whether either Carranza or Obregon
had knowledge that villa had threat
ened the wholesale determination or
Americans.
Meanwhile the State Department will
continue to insist that Carranza make an
example OF the murdefers And II is
stated officially that a mere claim that
they have been pursued and shot down
will not be sufficient. There must he
physical evidence
Onlcials at the White House insist that
the only contingency which would force
an immediate change In President WIZ
sons present policy would be renewed
killings of Americans.
To prevent this the State Department Is
trying to get all Americans and other for
eigners out of the danger zone.
L. S. UNABLE TO FIGHT.
Even though the President were willing
to consider Intervention. officials say, he
has insufficient forces available TO be
used for that purpose. 1t is considered
certain that Carranza never would give
his consent to American soldiers crossing
the Rio Grande, and that IL this should
be attempted all MeXicanS now under
arms would present q united front to the
American invaders. There are approx
mately 1900 Mexicans. well armed and
equipped, who would have to be rcckoned
with, army officers say.
