There is a wise old German sayln ~
that "Only god or brute can dwell
in solitude Men and women need
congenial panionship, both for the
sake of health and happiness Just as
your lungs, after using up all the oXy-
gen in close room, need to be filled
with fresh, out of-door air, so your
nina needs contact with other minds
to get new ideas. There is such a

in small villages grow morbid, and

his Office, sees new faces and has the
friction that is produced by meeting

more intercourse with his neighbor at

his wife, who may not see anyone out

You would laugh at the child who
should try to pick up heavy sledge
hammer to kin mosquito. But many
grown.up children quite as foolishly
use their strength. They waste
strength. They fret, worry, whirl
about get into a passion, nave not
time to eat or to sleep properly-in-
deed, often sit up SO late and get so IT,
red that they canJ't sleep. These per-
sons, whether old or young, need TO
learn the following simple rules |.
Never fret yourself nor anybody else.
F.. Never indulge in fits of passion,
nor the blues. ,. Never do things in
a confused hurry. 4. Eat regularly,
cheerfully, moderately, but don't eat
what is indigestible. 5. Don't cut
short your sleep. Get eight hours Of
it in clean, well.ventlated rooms.
&. Give your stomach and brain, as
well as your hands, all the rest they
need. 7. BE self-controIed, calm,
hopeful. Keep good conscience and
cheerfully trust God.

HOME CIRCLE COLUMN,
WORRY AND WORK.

Toll is healthful Even excessive
labor can be long endured. But worry
is corrosive that speedily eats out
the nerves and tissues of life. He who
frets about his work burns LIES can
die at both ends. 1t is the friction
rather than the revolution of the
wheels that wears the machinery. He
who knows how to do his leyel best
and leave the result with God, has
learned one of the chief secrets of life.
But he who is always worrying about
how things are coming out is most
foolish. Some people constantly com
plain and protest. They imagine that
their lot is so much harder than that
of their neighbor. They are always
regretting that they did not do things
some other way. Such persons will
have nerves set on edge, will have
chronic indigestion, a gloomy DISPOSE
and health are close friends. Do the
best you can and stew not. Work
hard. Work very hard. There is
much TO do. There is much that no
one can do as well as you. But do not
bear two burdens, both work or worry.
All the fretting in the world will not
change matters. 1t will only render
you unhappy and unfit you for the lar
gest service. Mix all your burden
bearing with smiles and songs.

with the draft horse business of France
badly crippled, and with the European
war still in progress, it will be well for
Wisconsin farmers to consider breed
ing their best brood mares this spring.
This plea for the development OF our
draft horse industry was recently made
by James G.. Fuller, secretary of ths
Wisconsin Horse Breeders association.
"There is no doubt" he declared,
shut what the demand for good draft
horses will increase ard that the Euro
pean countries from which we have
hitherto received consignments will
not be able even at the close Of the
war to re-establish their trade quickly.

tages for the production of high class

1t is not true that we too seldom
speak of our hearts gIadness, but
dwell on it's misery? Keep account o.
the people you meet and see how little
they say that is pleasant and happy
and much that is dreary and sad. They
will tell of bodily aches, pains and in
tirmiJies. They will complain bitterly
OF the heat if it is warm, or of the
chill If it is cold They will speak oil
the encouragement ia their business
the hardships in their occupation, the
troubles in their various duties, and
all the manifold miseres, real or i'm.
agined, that have fallen to their lot.
But they will have little to say OF
their prosperity, their health, their
three good meals day, their encour-
agements, favors, friendships and man
itold blessings.

ficient reasons disclosed by careful
analysis Of the act, the administration
Of its literal provisions cannot be un-
dertaken. But the apparent spirit and
purpose Of said proviso was to give
a preference right OF purchase to those
entrymen and owners of lands ad-
joining any particular lot who are best
entitled thereto under the special facts
of each case With this in view, and
under the authority conferred by said
act, the following rules and regula-
tions are prescribed ror the sale Of
said lots:
a. The price of all lots sold under
said act is hereby fixed at SO per acre,
and the period of six months within
which any preference right Of pur-
chase may be asserted by application
begins to run from the date of these
regulations. If not so asserted, such
preference right will be forfeited. You
will supply the press with copies Of
these regulations rs matter of news,
and give to them such further pub
licity as may be possible without in
curing expense.
90. Any person, company or corpo-
ration entitled to or claiming a pref
erence right under said proviso may
file in your office an application to
purchase all of any lot which, on any
Of its boundary lines, adjoins or abuts
on land entered o. owned by the ap-
plicant. Such application must be
sworn to before some officer qualified
to administer oaths and using a seal,
and must (a) Identity by proper de-
scription the applicants entered or
owned land lying contiguous to that
sought to be purcnased; (b) give the
rames and postoffice addresses, so far
as known to the applicant, of the en-
trymen or owners of all the other
lands contiguous to the tract sought;
and (c) allege what improvements are
upon the land desired, by whom they
were made, and their relation to the
applicants use of his adjoining land.
Every such application must be accom-
panied by, and contain reference to, a
sketch plat of the lot or lots sought,
showing with reasonable detail the To-
cations of canals. ditehes, fences, cul-

tivation, and other prominent improve
ments on and close to the lot applied
for. If the applicant be an entryman
of adjoining land, he must give the
serial number of his entry. If he be
the owner of adjoining land, he must
file with his application duly authen-
ticated abstract or certificate of title
showing his ownership. AS said act
had no purpose to enlarge any grant
to the State Of California or to any
railroad company, no preference right
will be recognized in either the state
or such a company, but this will not
prejudice the right of an "owner" who
is a transferee Of the state, or of a
railroad company No preference right
application by only one entryman or
owner will be considered unless he
shall be the sole party entitled to
apply, or unless the others who are
so entitled shall waive or forfeit their
rights.
"In cases where a preference right
to purchase lot 8 claimed by two or
more parties, joint application by
them all may be made; or any num-
Der of them less than all may make
4 joint application and file Herewith
written waivers of right by the others
IF more than one application be made
for the same tract by parties separ-
ately claiming preference of purchase,
such right will be awarded to the ap-
plicant most equitably entitled there
to under all the facts and circumstan-
ces of the particular case. 1t is sug-
gested to the interested parties that
joint application will simplify and eX-
pedite the sale and patenting of lots
and enable the parties to subdivide the
property among themselves in such
manner and proportion as they may
privately determine. Every joint ap-
plication must be sworn to by each
party thereto and must otherwise sub
stantially conform with the require
ments hereinabove made respecting an
application by single party.
"No special form of application will
be prescribed. No application filed
within the six months period will be
"allowed" by you, but all applications

Is, 1916.-Register and Receiver, Los
Angeles, Cal.-Sirs: Annexed hereto
is a copy Of the act of Congress ap-
proved aMrch 3, 1909 (35 Stat, 779),
entitled "An act to provide for the
sale of isolated tracts Of public land
in Imperial County, Call" which di-
rects that all lots situated in 26 speci-
fled townships and which are 10
chains or less in width and lie be-

lands, shall be sold at private sale
for cash, at such price and under such
regulations as the Secretary of the
Interior shall prescribe, but not at less
than $3.50 an acre. The proviso to
said act accords TO any entryman or
owner of such entered or patented
tracts preferred right to buy cone
half" of all such lots as abut on tracts
held under his entry, or owned by him
within six months after the time when
the secretary shall fix the price OF
such tracts. Many of the said lots
however, are shown by the plats to
abut on more than two entered or pat

Washington, June THAT this
country is face to face with con-
flict in Mexico is generally believed
here, as an outcome of demand pub
lished in the City of Mexico yester-
Cay and supposed to have been sent
to President Wilson by Carranza.
The demand is that the troops of
the United States shall at once leave
Mexico, claiming that the punitive ex-
pedition was without the consent of
Carranza and that the embargo placed
on the shipment cf arms to Mexico
and the sending of the second expedi-
tion showed that the purposes Of the
United States were entirely different
from those alleged.
The demand car1e with no surprise
here, for it has been the belief for
several days in official circles that
Mexico was bringing up her military
array with the purpose of backing
up such a demand, the disposition Of
the Mexican troops being such as to
indicate this as the purpose, rather
than to overpower Villa, who for days
has not figured in Mexican affairs.
That the American troops are we'll
informed of the prospect for trouble
is understood, and there are reasons
to believe extensive preparations have
been made to enable them to give a
good accounting of themselves if
trouble comes.
How many soldiers the United States
has in Mexico is not revealed. but it
is thought here that there has been
extensive reinforcement brought about
quietly since there has been danger
of break with Carranza, and while
it is still the wish of President Will
son to avoid conflict if that is pos
sible, no one here believes that he will
comply with Carranza's demand to
leave, for even very recently General
Pershing has been instructed not even
to discuss the possibility of with
drawal.

The next crest of high water in

''Vamos" Says Carranza
But Army Says Him may"

Washington, June lit is authortatvely stated to-
day that the American troops will not be withdrawn from
Mexico until Carranza authorities demonstrate their
troll of the situation sufficiently to protect the American
border reply to that effect probably will be made to
Carranzas note.
Wilson is represented today as ready to withdraw the
troops when it becomes possible but determined to wait
until the Carranza forces control the situation.
Wilson and Lansing today took up consideration OF
