about the difficulties Of dealing with
strong willed children. No one
knows any better than |, the trouble
it is to maintain standards when ev-
cry minute is occupied with other
duties. But our children are worth
it, and we, fathers and mothers Of
Lexington, must be brave enough
and strong enough to stand for the
things which we know to be right.
'Tis easier, of course, to say how
the neighbors should regulate their
children, than it is to think enough
to see the needs of onr own. But
knowing what the neighbors should
do, does not build our children's
characters; and that is the thing for
which we are responsible.
The only possible way for us to
raise the standard Of our homes is
for me to make mine better, and
for my neighbor to make his better,
and for my friend across town to
make his better, till we have made
so many better that the average for
the town is near what it should be-
1t has taken considerable courage
to say these things. They are not
said with any desire to criticise, or
hurt, or offend anyone; but only be-
cause see them so plainly; because
| realize that the fathers and moth
ers of our town must see them, be-
fore we can hope to improve condi-
tons to any great extent.
When we, as a community. have
come to realize them, we will rise
as one person, and tear down, with
our own hands, if need be, the un.
safe, unsanitary, inadequate, ugly
disgraceful school building we now
have; and erect such a centre Of
community learning and communi.
ty inspiration that it will satisfy the
highest dream Of the most devoted
teacher who ever lived.
! Thanking you for the courtesy Of
the generous amount Of space you
have allowed me, am,

Several days ago it was reported
that United States troops had pene-
trated as far as $50 miles into Mex
leo in pursuit Of Villa, the bandit
leader who made the raid on Colum.
bus, New Mexico, killed seventeen
persons and burned a portion Of the
town. The government at Wash
ington does not seem to have yet
been able to Get the consent Of Car
rama, the head Of the de facto GOV
eminent in Mexico, to the transpor-
tation Of supplies to the American
soldiers over the Mexican railroads
and that problem was even at the
first Of this week getting to be big
one, such transportation by autos
over a desert waste, having proven
inadequate. Further, Carranza SOL
diers have been deserving to Villa
and in places where they pretended
to stand in cooperation with the
United States troops, have put up
but feeble efforts toward the cap
ture Of the bandit leader. All in
all, the American situation in Mexi.
co is not encouraging, the early cap
ture Of Villa doubtful but the ex'
penditure Of millions more of mon.
ey a certainty. However. it Is con
ceded that President Wilson has
taken the only action to be consid
cred after the Columbus outrage.

The Republicans Of Henderson
county, that is the particular lead
ing gentlemen who wrote the reso-
lutions adopted by the convention

Woodrow Wilson for his Mexican
policy, for the attitude Of his admin

him "chastised' the Money Power,

ninety Republicans in Congress have
backed Mr.. Wilson in connection
with his attitude relative to the wal
in Europe, and the Democratic, pa
triotic President has the endorse

When you have an insane desire
to speed, remember the other fellows
you are passing have just as much
right to break the law as you have.
Think of the sentiment you are Gre
ating against motoring by your
mania. Think Of the accidents that
may happen by your hitting some
other driver coming in from a side
street, or pedestrian who does not
see you coming. Think of the peo-
pie in your own car, perhaps, who
have a fear Of speeding and are try
ing to be game and not let you
know it. 1t is not sport to drive
fast in the city; it is the utmost dis
courtesy to your fellow motorists
and fellow citizens. If you want to
see how much speed there is in
your Car 90 out and hire a track
but don't use the streets or roads of,
any town. Above all, BE courte-
ous."

Word was sent out last Saturday
from the Field Headquarters of the

$50 to 800 words daily allowed sent
out over the military wires would
have to be divided among the news

which reduce the number of words
sent to each paper to about twenty
five. The insufficiency Of this re-

In the United States the farmer
is just a plain person, representative
Of that Middle Class which feeds
the world, does the labor for the bal

very useful function Of holding the
world together In Mexico, the
farmer is the king Of millionaires,
according to the World Outlook.
Down there the man who owns the
farm often lives in a palace, owns
land by the hundreds of thousands
Of acres and the labor is performed
by poems who live in adobe, brush
or cane "shacks." In Mexico the
typical farm often embraces a mil
lion acres, as shown by the fact
that in the state of MoreloS twenty
eight hacendados own all the agri-
