Baptist, could take half their wealth

The Mexican people and de factO government mus

their opinions and acts to the truth of things

NO FALSE PRIDE should Mexican authorities
IN to hesitate a single instant in giving assurances
to the American government that cooperation in
the pursuit of Villa and his murderOus bandits will
be welcomed The Mexcans have ample proof through
out the last five years that aggressive act is
tempated by the United States, and that the
Villa bandits have actually invaded the United States
and caused the death of many American soldiers
and civilians in circumstances most heinous and
cous Mexico realize that the duty of the United
States is clearly outlined today if it has not been
before.
The precedent of the pursuit of Geronimo and his
Apache band is the proper to follow now. Amer
leans also participated in the pursuit of VictOrO
Mexican soil, and there are numerous presidents in
history Of affairs along this border well as more
than 100 good American precedents elsewhere in the
world to justify full and active cooperation in the
present emergency without the slightest injury to
Mexican sovereignty national pride.
The situation developed by the Columbus raid de-
mands instant and effective action the part of the
United States. Mexicans must realize that the gov
eminent and people Of the United States not yet
disposed make this outrage desperate international
ISSUE but that the American government and people
are determined that the raiders must be punished and
that recurrence Of such a lawess act must be pre-
vented.
The forces Of the Carranza government, by reason
of lack Of numbers and lack of adequately mounted
troops if nothing else, are unable to follow up and
capture the Villa bandits. The situation admits of
compromise with plain national duty. The Carranza
government may invite the cooperation of Americans
and Immediately receive the friendly aid of thousands

Bethel Becomes
 Paragould's Rival

J. c. Edwards, general merchant and chief booster of Bethel, locat- ed in the future southern suburbs of Paragould, is authority for the statement that it would be exceed ingly unwise to invest in Paragould real estate at this time on account of the marvellous development and expansion of Bethels municipal in terests. New enterprises are being attracted to that village every now and then, the most recent acquiSi- tions being a barber shop which MT. Edwards denominates by the eu- phonious term "Tonsorial Empo- rium," and new saw mill whose hum can be heard to the uttermost limits of the corporation. The cit izens of Bethel expect Paragould to become a camping ground where pill grims will spend the night while enroute to the burg with the lady like name where, according to la test information, they can get eith- CT shaved or sawed, depending up- on the antiquity of the hirsute adornment on the countenance.
