Returninl

WASHINGTON, July f.-The
American punitive expedition is
being withdrawn for police duty
near the border, II is strongly be-
lieved today. ~ !
Gen. Pershing continues to
concentrate his forces and snort
EN- his lines, approaching closer
to the international boundary.
Nobody believes the punitive
expedition will be withdrawn en-
tirely.
The zone Of operations is ex-
pected to extend along the north
ern boundary.
1t seems inevitable that the
militiamen will be kept at the
border for several months.
AS for Villa, some Officers be-
lieve him dead.

CROWD OUT THE RUBBISH
WITH USEFUL INFORMATION

Many men endeavor to remember
every trivial modest or statement
that comes to their attention. They

with the odds and ends of valueless
information.
Many and many man has men,
ory that moro closely resembles a
cheap, gaudy museum than it does
some dignified, first class establish
ment that is stocked with Serviceable
and valuable articles. Lying about
in their memories are to be found
much useless, dust-covered mental
Junk. But little is known Of this or
that, and only smattering Of any
thing really worth while is retained
by their memory.
Unless a restraining care is con-
stantly exercised it will be but a
short time indeed until the memory OF
the average, man will become veri-
table junk shop.
To forget the unimportant' things,
and remember only those that are
truly worth while, is really the milk
of the cocoa-nut. One valuable
thought, or single constructive sug-
gestion, is of far greater value than
all the light talk that could be crowd
ed into the memory in life time.
The faculty of remembering is the
art of forgetting-sounds contradic-
tory, but it IS true. Let the useless
prattle and light gossip go sailing
over your head-dont stop it. Train
