Austin, Tex, May 1o.-Governor
Ferguson has issued the following
statement in regard to the Mexican
situation:
Since we have started, we had just
as we'll finish the job. A temporary
protection of the border will accom-
plish nothing. If we catch and punish
one bandit horde. another takes 1T
place tomorrow. Loyalty to any lead

over intelligence and judgment. Tho

ever is necessary to permanently pre-
vent a recurrence of further outrages
against our people.
Duty of America. ~
Millions of starving people in Mex
leo cry out for food and protection
from the assassin's hand AS one who
has hoped against hope that a ruler
might arise to restore peace in Mexi-
CO; as one who has studied their
ways and customs: as one who is with

Endorsed and now indorses the policy
of the present administration; as one
who has measured his words and is
now mindful of the position here an
nounced and its consequences. / have
come reluctantly to the conclusion
that it is now the solemn duty of the

that unfortunate country and give the

eminent which they are now unable
and helpless to establish, whether il

Here is some economy in the use
of fuel One of our townsmen had a
chunk of wood that he burned for
three winters. This is how he did it
He had a large stove with powerful
draft and ne would place the chunk
therein at bedtime and owing to the
very strong upward pressure of hot
air the wood was forced up through
the pipe and chimney and would then
roll down the incline of the roof and
land on the ground, only to be picked
up and used again the next night.
Very simple, you see. A. j. NJ.

oh, how my yearning heart inclines
To trim the trailing radish vines,
And hoe the prunes that pleasures
bring
To all who garden in the spring.
How eagerly each morn 1 rush
To view the pretty cabbage bush,
And pluck fair blossoms on the lea
From branches of the turnip tree.
Oh, how I do await a chance
To hoe the lovely olive plants,
And pick potatoes from the vines,
And dig in my crabapple mines.

RAE CONDEMNS
POLITICIANS FOR
PLAY ON FEAR

In strictly non-partisan way, Rev.
j. ]. Rae condemned political parties
for methods which they employ dur
ing elections, at the vesper service of
the First Presbyterian church Sunday.
mo big political party recognizes
the divine law during the campaigns.
They exert every imaginable method
to win votes.
"The church is maintaining a pain
full silence. When a moral law is at
issue, it is then time for the church
to take a hand in politics but at no
other.
No Danger Imminent
Despite the cries of politicians, the
country stands in no great danger, no
matter which party wins. Each party
is trying to mislead the people by tell
ing them that great danger awaits the
country if the other party is elected.
Il condemn this narrow vision which
seeks benefits for a few. The cam
paigns are largely waste of money.
Oh, that men would reserve their
spite in campaign like this and rec
ognize that God is over us all. The
issues are what will bring us votes
and what will get us elected and not
what is right.
Call Christian Leaders
"A man who is dishonest in all his
relationships, domestic, civic and
business, leads one of the biggest po-
litical parties in Chicago. The lead
er of the other party is no better.
So it is in many other places.
THANK God, both parties are
obliged to call good Christian men
to the front to run for the supreme
Office in the land"
The Rev. Mr. Rae predicted that the
time is coming when the secret ballot
Will pass.
II pray that the time will soon come
when men can cast their votes openly
and unfearingly and will be respected
for their views" he, said.

THIEVES GET
MONEY FROM CHEST
At FIRST LUTHERAN

Petty thieves gained entrance into
the First English Lutheran church
sometime last week and robbed two
money chests which contained contri-
buttons from Sunday school children.
The exact amount of the loss is not
known.
The robbery was discovered yester-
day morning during the Sunday school
service. Jehorda chest and the chill.
dren's birthday box were unlocked by
keys which were taken from their hid
ing places. This is puzzling the church
authorities.
Although the church is being re-
modelled it is kept locked at all times
when workmen are not present
If the church was entered at night,
a key was evidently used to gain the
entrance.
