Strengthening Out Mexico

Several weeks ago prominent
congressman, speaking at at an
important gathering in Washing
ton, disclosed what he SAID was an
attempt upon the part of the ad.
ministration to have General
Funston recommend the with
drawal of the American troop
from Mexico. The latest devel
opment is that General Funston
has made such a recommenda-
tiop. The actual withdrawal has
been going on for some time. The
National Guard, which is pro-
tecting the border, is made up of
some of the best material there is
in the country, but it is appar-
ent that this is rather a disjOint-
ed organization, and that It's
mem bers are not particularly
adapted nor we'll equipped for
the task of invading a foreign
country. When these troops went
to the Mexican border nearly
everyone supposed that there
would be an invasion, or an at
tempt at Intervention. No one
seriously believed that General
Pershing's column was being
strengthened for the simple pur-
pose of hunting out a lot of rag
mufiins who had shot up an
American town. However, there
appears to have been a recur
renee to methods of inquiry and
and negotiation, that may have
grown out of the alarums of war.
There is a good deal of quiet,
comfort about Washington in the
growing belief that the Carranza
administration may, after all, be
able to handle the Mexican sit
uation. No less a person than
Secretary Lane, whom many re.
gard as the strongest man in
President Wilson's cabinet, has
been placed upon a commission
to adjust the differences between
Mexico and the United States.

URGES HUNTERS
TO Be CAREFUL
u. S. Forest Service Issues
Warning Against Causing
Accidents With Firearms
and Starting Fires

Washington, September 4.-Em-
phasinng the destruction Of property
and human life caused by careless
hunters, a warning issued by the For
est Service urges all sportSmen on the
National Forests to use the greatest
possible care to prevent forest fires
and to avoid such accidents as the
one which caused the death Of Forest
Ranger Clark on the Cabinet National
Forest in Montana last year. Mr..
CLARK, it is said, was mistaken for a
bear by careless hunter who fired
without waiting to be sure what he
was shooting at. To show that such
accidents are not uncommon, the
warning quotes an estimate of the
Biological Survey that between i50
and 200 persons are annually killed
in hunting accidents in this country
and that this number is increasing.
Furthermore, it is stated, IS per cent
of all the forest fires in the National
Forest are caused by careless hunters
and other campers.
The National Forests, ii is pointed
out, contain the best hunting grounds
in the country. The number of game
animals is increasing on account Of
the protection from forest fires and
illegal killing which is afforded by
Forest officers. On many of the
Forests, deer, elk. mountain sheep
and many other species are fairly
plentiful, while small game is usually
abundant. Bear, mountain lion and
other predatory animals are found on
most of the Forests and the killing
of these meat eaters is encouraged be-
cause they prey on domestic stock
and the herbivorous game animals.
The best indication of a mans fit
ness to be in the woods, the warning
points out, is the care which he shows
in handling firearms and fire. None
but the most inexperienced tender.
foot will snoot without getting a plain
view of his game, while the man who
lets his campfire escape or who care
1esSly drops lighted match or hot
tobacco ashes betrays at once his Ig-
norance of the fundamental principles
of woodcraft. Such men, says the
warning, should keep out of the
woods.

The STRENUOUS
Mr.. WILSON

Nobody can accuse President
Wilson of having displayed any
lack of energy In the handling of
negotiations intended to prevt n
the strike. 1t is the ordinary
custom of the President of the
United States business. Guard
ians of the health of the Presi-
dent insist that he must not be
overcrowded. The precedents all
require that people who wish to
see the President shall accomo-
date themselves to his conyen-
fence and time. Even in the
handling of accute conditions
with Germany and Mexico, Mr..
Wilson adhered rather closely
to his routine office hours. He
insisted, in his dealings with the
railroad officials and operators,
that he was acting as the friend
of all interested parties, and his
anxiety to achieve success was
shown by the fact that his week
end vacations were cancelled,
and the audiences. and confer.
ences held were held at the White
House evenings, Sundays, and at
all times when 1t seemed prob
able any good might be accom-.
plished. The president made sew.
eral trips to the capitol, and even
visited senators in their offices.
This latter procedure, has, per-
haps, never been adopted by any
other president.
The personal point of view of
the administration evidently as
sumed that the public rights
we're paramount to those of the
railroad managers and
operators. Mr.. Wilson, as the
chosen representative eff the
American nation, doubtless sue
ceeded in impressing upon the
parties to the controversy the
right of the government to in-
terfere. The neroics were equal
to those employed by former
President Roosevelt In the set
Element of the anthracite coal
strike, or in his interference in
the Russian-Japanese war. Mayor
Mitchell of New York took the
same view Of the recent street
car strike in New York. His sue.
cess might possibly have served
az an incentive to Mr.. Wilson to
apply official force in the crisis
Of railroad affairs. lu any event,
The activity of the president has
demonstrated that there is a new
way of doing things, and the
method appears to conferm to
the notions Of prOeTessiveness
pow popular with the American
people.

WANTED A HOME FOR
AN ORPHAN CHILD

"To the citizens of Kentucky:
The work of the Kentucky Child
ren's Home Society has grown to
such an extent that we find ourselves
always overcrowded with children.
We are extremely anxious to place
our children in good Christian homes,
and in this connection we will have
an exhibit at the State Fair this year.
with rest and lounging room for your
convenience.
Our workers will be on the grounds
and will be only TO glad to escort you
to the Home or will bring such
children as you are interested in, to
the Fair Grounds for you to see.
We have in the Receiving Home
225 children, of all ages, from ba-
bieS few months old up to girls and
boys IL, 13 and ID years old. When
you realize that there are 120 coun-
ties in the State, and there is only
one agency to receive destitute child
rem, you will realize what a burden
IS upon you.
We are making an appeal to the
citizens of Kentucky, as we cannot
place our children in other States,
and we hope that you will open your
hearts and your homes to these little
children, and give them a chance IN
your homes, The success of our
work is due to the fact that SC many
Of our friends have taken these child
ren into their homes, and now at the
of the Fall Season, when
the demands from the counties will
be so great, it is imperative for us to.
place a number of our children in.
family homes.
If you will take child you will
find that you will have trouble
enough and pleasure enough to COM
pensate any effort you may make.
and you will unconsciously and indi-
do great work for the Home
and for the future citizenship of our
Commonwealth.
"It is more blessed to give than TO
receive' and to give child chance.
to become a good. citizen is one of
the highest privileges that comes to a
family. Please think this matter ov-
er and if you want to make applica-
ton for a child, we will be glad to
take up the matter with you.
No family who have not the high
est moral standing need apply for a
child. The work is .sectarian;
of any Chursh may make
application for the children. Our
object is to place our children in good
homes, where they will not
only be given the advantages of
Church and school but will receive a
religious home-training.
Hoping that this will make an i'm
preston on the citizens of Kentucky,
md that you will call to see our
Exhibit at the State Fair, | remain,

How About Your Health?

What profiteth a man that he
gain the whole world yet lose his
health?
Naturaiists say that long ago
the prehistoric waters were in.
fested:with a species of enormous
shark which finally became ex-
tinct by reason of the workings
Of its voracious appetite. Thus
nature eliminates the over.fed.
The desire for ease of life and
plentiful diet is universal and is
the greatest stimulus of man and
animals alike. When man be-
comes greedy and takes more
ease and food and drink than is
his share, nature discards him.
In the race for power and
place, for ease of circumstance
and relief from the stimulus of
hunger, the modern man is apt
to forget that unless he is care
fol of his body he viii soon be
made to suffer for the infraction
of nature's inexorable physical
law With the loss in body tone
comes an equal loss in mental
acuIty and the brain which for
time was able to operate despite
the complaints of an over-fed,
under-exercIsed, self.poisoned
body, stops working.
Statisticians have discovered
that the mortality rate of per.
sons in the United States over
45 years of age Is increasing. The
strenuous life of today is not
alone responsible for this. Lack
of health-glving exercise, super
fluffy of diet, lack of restoring
sleep, over-stimulation, the high
pressure of the race for power,
wealth and position, plus physi-
cal neglect, these bring early |
decay. The goal is reached, -
wealth is amassed-honor, posi- |
5iou and power are just being |
yrasped when the apple of ac-
,omplishme mt turns to the ashes

Ind it is not long before the final
oreak-up occurs. All of this was
entirely preventabie.
Other things being equal it is
he man who leads the well.
