London. July 3-Uuder a blazing July

is IT TRICK?

A great many people view Carran-
za's present role of good Indian
with suspicion, and with reason.
C~arranza is tottering on his throne.
His power is on the wane. His army
is d%isgruntled and his generals are
dissatisfied and defiant.
And there's a reason.
The self styled first chief is out of
money, and without money or loot OF
the prospect thereof the Mexican does
not fight. He prefers to loll around
in the sun and roll cigarettes.
There appears to be but source
from which the Mexican government
a secure the financial assistance of
which it stands so distressingly in
need. That is from the United
States. And we, strangely enough,
seem to be willing to furnish the gold
that will enable them to regain their
position and ultimately turn their
guns against US again.
No sooner had C~arranza announced
his desire to reopen diplomatic rela-
tions with Washington than the infor-
nation was allowed to filter out that
he was in the market for a big loan,
and American fnanciers Immediately
pricked up their ears in anticipation
of another slice of interest "bacon."
Their patriotism appears to begin at
n end of the pocketbook and end at
the other.
The Mexican is an adept at playing
good Indian when he has something
to gain, and the first chief greatly de-
sires American gold.
He may get it, but if he does we
will probably soon be receiving bullets
in return for it instead of interest
money.
Keep both eyes on the good Indian
and don't let him come too close t.
you in the dark.

PLAN YOUR RECREATION.

Time fies,-especially in summer.
Cold, stormy seasons move slowly,
but the lovely days of the next few
months will go almost before you
know they are here, unless you watch
them sharply.
Every one has all the time that
there is. For rich or poor, there are
twenty-four hours in the day. We all
have the same: our happiness depends
on how we use it. 1t is easy enough
to secure a little leisure time, if you
will make a little to get it.
There are at least fifteen Saturday
afternoons, fifteen Sundays, Labor
Day and, in several States, Columbus
Day, between now and the first of No

vember. Even for those who stay at
home, these rest days, taken together,
provide almost a three weeks vacation.
If you are lucky enough to have a
week or two extra to add to this list,
so much the better.
Most every one has time enough
for a good vacation, if he doesn't
throw it away. Watch the pennies
and the dollars will take care of them
selves: count the minutes, and you
will find the leisure hours are suffic-
lent for all your needs.

NEW COINS INDICATIVE
OF NEW DAYS DAWN

The minis are now producing silver
halves, quarters and dimes in a new
design in which Liberty is outlined
before an American flag. In her arms
the goddess carries a sheaf of laurel
and her gaze is fixed upon a rising
sun which, the artists say, is symbol
cal of the dawn of a new day. The
design fits the times. The American
goddess of liberty has been having a
hard time of it for the past three
years and the new day which these
new coins typify is about to dawn.
The goddess is not the only one who
is looking for that rising sun of a
prolonged Republican day in power.

A clean town never needs to adver-

This world is full of givers and
takers, with everybody wanting to be
a taker.
Life is just what each person makes
it, but some are too lazy to do the
making.
Our own little border warfare ap-
pears to have reached the grass-hop-
per stage.
Great men are often great in the
eyes of everyone but those who know
them best.

wait for the fellow in front to get out
of the way.

Of course famine is sweeping over
northern Mexico. Villa and his horde
are abroad again.

Truth is a jewel, but if we tell too
much of it We are liable to get our
block knocked off.

Oh, no, the political pot is not bub-
bling one wee little bit. 1t is only a
seething cauldron.
