pATRoNIzING HOME INDUSTRIES.

The following trite illustration Of
the trade-at-home policy is attributed
to Governor Ferguson Of Texas:
"T remember that upon one occa-
sion certain Farmers Union lecturer
was telling the farmers Of Texas Of
the mistake they were making. He
said: The great mistake with the
Texas farmer is that he doesn't live
at home. he depends on selling cotton
too much. You are continually buy
ing something. and you don't ever
sell anything. To illustrate what I
mean. I need but call your attention
to the fact that when you awake In
the morning It is to the alarm Of
Connecticut clock. You get up and
button on Chicago suspenders to your
Detroit overalls. You go out and
wash your face with Cincinnati soap
in an Indianapolis wash basin. You
sit down to your breakfast and eat
from a table made in Grand Rapids,
and you eat Chicago meat. And your
bread Is made OF Tennessee -four,
cooked on a st. Louis stove. You go
out and put a New York bride on
a Kentucky mule, fed on Iowa corn,
and plow your farm all day. which is
covered with Massachusetts, mort
gage. And at night when you get
home you read Bible printed in Bos-
ton and you say prayer that was
written In Jerusalem. And you crawl
under blanket manufactured in New
Jersey, to be kept awake all night by
damned dog-the only home pro-
duct you have on the farm"

based upon q series Of discoveries

more plainly marked.
First intimations Of previous work
ings came some years after the rush
OF goid-seekers had swept California
and southern Oregon. The Logan
property, then the Simmons placer,
was first worked in 1859. after the
usual preliminary gathering OF mug

creek beds. When the gravel wall
had been pushed back some distance
a filling-in was observed on its face.

War with Mexico" is a phrase
which turns the mind OF the student
back to 1S4e. when 'swar with Mex.
ieo" was the dominant note OF the
day. both in politics and in civil life,
For year and more the citizens OF
the United States had been on edge
over the threat Of confiict, ana that
is true today. An observation Of the
trend Of events at that time reveals
. parallel to the trend Of the present
that is almost uncanny.
Political reasons and other inter-
ests we're then blamed As the cause
Of trouble. That Is true today. An
army was sent into territory which
Mexico claimed Is in her dominion.
and a camp maintained there. despite
the protest Of the Mexican govern
ment. Our army and its camp in
Mexico today is maintained despite
protest Of the Mexican government.

possibly for attack. He sent troop
Of cavalry to reconnoiter, the sameas
Captain Boyd's Tenth cavalry was
sent last week. and 1t was treacher-
ously attacked by an overwhelming
force. Even to the result the parallel
is seen. In 1S46, Captain Thornton,
Of the attacked troop. escaped by the
narrowest margin, while sixteen Of
his men we're killed and most Of the
others were captured. Taylor then
withdrew his force a few miles to the
north, the act encouraging the ignor-
ant poems to thinking they were driv-
ing the "gringoes" home.
Last week General Pershing sent
out a troop Of cavalry to reconnoiter
and determine the purpose Of the
gathering OF Mexicans to the south OF
him. The men were treacherously
attacked by a larger force. Captain
Morey. like Captain Thornton, was
the only officer to escape. and that by
good fortune. Seventeen men we're
killed and a number OF others cap
.tured. General Pershing is reported
to have withdrawn his force from
Namiquipa and several other points.
The Mexicans take this as the result
OF a great victory and are clamoring
TO silence the "gringoes."
When the Mexican president In
1S46 would have made peace in pre-.
ference to hopeless war, he could
not control his people. They deposed
him and gave the government to one
Paredes, bandit-villain. War was
declared and after two years the
United States had acquired great
tract Of territory which had belonged
TO Mexico, and is now known as Texas
New Mexico. Arizona, California
Nevada, Utah. and parts Of Colorado
Wyoming. Kansas and Oklahoma.

will lead us to can be only matter
of conjecture, but history has been
repeated in our Mexican affairs up &c

MILITARY PLANS FOR SCHOOLS
UP TO SCHOOL BOARD
Army drills and tactics will be
taught in the public schools if the
report of a subcommittee is adopted
by the school board.
Paying no heed to citizens who do
not believe in infant militarism and
others who think that school time
should be devoted to improving the
brain, the subcommittee voted to
have q. S. army training given in the
high schools, the same training as is
given at West Point, the school for
professional warriors.
The first year, according to the
plan, will be devoted to setting up
exercises. The second. year will in
ScIude drills. The third year regi-
.ments will be organized and the boys
put through squad, platoon. battalion
and regimental drills. The fourth
year viii be an elaboration on the
work of the third year.
Mrs. Geo. P. Vosbring, committee
member, objected to the boys wear
ing uniforms and handling guns.
Don't you remember, Mr.. Chair
man, that boys of the Mckinley
school wanted to form a rifle club
and could have gotten rifles from the
government and you helped vote the
plan down."
Letters from people opposing mill
