question for debate; never the less
it is true. and can be easily proven by
hieing Yourself to the wilds of the for

almost as pronounced as it is with
woman. We are living in the age of
''cean shaven faces" 1t is a fad,
some may claim; it is an improvement
others will say, but be the result what
it may, barber shops are as necessary
in this enlightened day as is the dealer
in merchandise. The town that does
not maintain ali attractive and up-to-
date barber shop is a back number.
Lancaster cen boast of having one .of
the most modern and up-to-date es-
Establishments of this kinds in the
country. The Central Record refers to
the sanitary shop owned and managed
by Mr.. j. E. Scale. Mr.. Scale is an
artist in his profession and is also one
of the most skilled BARRIERS in the state.
His manipulation of the razor over
your face is done so deftly and with
such ease that it is a source of pleasure
rather than bore. to be shaver by
him. His assistants are also experts
in their line. Since opening his place
of business to the public. Mr.. Scale
has had lucrative patronage, for the
citizens Of the town and county appre-
ciate such as elegant shop in their

Scales barber shop Is recommended to
you. Hot and cold baths supplied at all

| THE MEXICAN RAID ON U. s. SOIL
The attack by large band Of Mexican
bandits against the town of Columbus
N. NJ, during which attack civilians and
| United States soldiers were killed, con-
stituted such a compelling provocation
that the bands of red tape which have
surrounded the movements of the United
States with respect TO Mexico for three
years were snapped in twinkling and
United States troops, after long forbear
ance, rushed across the international
boundary line in pursuit Of the follow
revolutionist. The troops went far in
pursuit of the murderous gang. There
was no order for their recall by the
government at Washington. Thus tacit
permission was given to them to partici-
pate in a movement which has long been
anticipated but which has been held in
allegiance because of rigid adherence TO
some of the niceties of self-restraint
which were considered to be evidence of
national good manners. The United
States, it must be agreed by all nations,
has maintained great reserve in the face
of very marked provocation for it has
kept United States troops on the north
ern side of the international boundary
line when Americans were being mas
sacred in Mexico in large numbers and
the apparent government of Mexico was
powerless to control the situation. Now
comes the crowning act of insolence on
the part of one of the aspiring candi- |
dates for leadership of Mexican chaos. |
villa has sent his men over into Amer |
lean territory and has shed American
blood. In retributiog for that act, there
should be no let-up I'll the band of muir
derers is killed or rounded up just as
any ordinary murderer would be dealt
with. Carranza is powerless to do it.
The United States must do it. There
fore, there is undisguised satisfaction
the whole United States that
passivity finally gave way to activity.
The thing ought to be carried through
to definite end.
