TWO CARLOADS
OF COAL BOUGHT
Mayor Of Des Moines Determined to
See That Citizens Keep
Warm on Christmas.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.1
DIES MONIES. Iowa, Dec. 3D.
Mayor John Macyicar today bought
outright from large private corpora
ton two carloads of coal in order to
supply empty bins in the homes OF
rich and poor, who alike are unable
to obtain supply due to the famine.
Prevented by court Injunction from
confiscating more coal on the ground
of public necessity, the mayor was
forced to take today's step. Coal
dealers who promised to aid the city
and the organized charities to supply
cold homes, were running far behind
orders.

ToDAY.s BIT OF VERSE
CHRISTMAS TRUMPETs, BLOW AGAIN

Seems to me want to hear
~ Christmas trnmrets hlow again,
Through the msts OF yesteryear,
Like message unto men.
Bugles and the little drum,
All, that fanfare of the child
Music of the morning, come,
Set me dancing mad and wild!
Lord, the weight OF life is such,
Heavy with its war and woe!
Just once more that golden touch
OF the trumpets-let them blow!
Silvery music, sweet and clear,
Music that the child lips made
When the Christmas dawn drew near
And the little bugles played.
Seems to me we want it all,
Here and now and all the while
The magic of that childhood call.
The glory of that stainless smile;
Blow it, trumpets, clear and sweet,
Sounding through each listening street,
Bringing peace and gladness near.
Seems to me 1t would be fine
Just to have it as of old
All its laughter and its shine,
All Its innocence Of gold.
Christmas misunderstanding far
Over hill and over dell
Sea to hill and hill to star
Music OF the Christmas spell.

chapter of the Democratic National
Text Book. from which these quota

1.-TWO considerations have animated
the President in the formulation of
his Mexican policy and have compelled
his adherence to it throughout his Ad-
ministration, namely:
1.-THE firm conviction that all na-
tions, both the weak and the power
full, have the lnviolabIe right to control
their internal affairs.
"The belief, established upon the
history Of the world, that Mexico will

the people maintained the peace 1t was
because they were forced to do so, and
not because justice reigned in the
land. Thus 1t was that the history
OF Mexico. like the history of every
aspiring people. pressed upon Presi-
dent Wilson's consideration the truth
that no permanent good relations
could exist between this great North

free to put her house in order, how
ever painful that process might be
and whatever the demands 1t might
