"OUR FIRST EXPRESSION"

A Mr.. S. S. Curry. who appears TO
be important 10 the School of Ex
preston" located at Boston has writ
ten a little book under the title Of
The Smile" II is worth reading and
thinking over He points out that the
smile Is our first expression Perhaps
nurses and parents viii recall that the
first expression of the new born differs
considerable from a smile but no
doubt Mr.. Curry refers to the child
after it has acquired a certain !ntelli-
genCv. Let il go at that the smile"
is the first expression then.
what marvellous thing a smile is.
How far it goes and how much il
leaves along the way. AS business
asset Of the merchandiser and sales
man it sells the goods and brings in
the customer. There are comedians
who set us off into roars of laughter
without speaking a word. The physi-
clan who comes to the bedside with a
smile and a show of true interest al
ways comes back at our request The
public speaker finds his way into the
hearts of his audience by the pathway
of a smile The girl with a smile is
always attractive whether or not she
is beautiful good woman with
smile draws the world toward her. The
jolly fellow who conceals his cares and
greets his friends with a smile always
has hosts of friends and is welcome
everywhere.
Kindness attracts and the smile is
the avant courier of kindness. 1t runs
on ahead shouting that lovable man
the birds sing, what the summer winds
blow. what the sun shines, Kindness
comfort, a signal of happiness and a
pledge of hope.
But it must be genuine. Nobody
ever fooled a child or dog with a
smile from his teeth out. The smile
that is worth while starts from the
heart and the lips are but it's outward
expression. And at tina, the conven-
tional smile carries its possessor a
long way farther than sour visage
and Crouch If it does not kindle love
it commands courtesy

COSSON At WATERLOO.

A thousand names were signed as
members of the Cosson club at Water

from Waterloo. A meeting so large
and resulting in that number of sigma
lures Is significant. 1t indicates that
Waterloo drys have concluded that
they must concentrate upon Cosson in
order to retain effectiveness as drys.
Further it is in its way direct refuta-
tion of the unwise assertions of a rival
candidate who would charge Cosson
with being laggard compared to him.

The Waterloo way is the way to dry

other sure way apparent. The drys

will soon arrive when President Will
son must cast the die. Havlng recog-
nized the Carranza government he Will
be compelled either to respect it's de-
mands or thrust 1t aside while the pur-
suit of Villa Is renewed. The dilemma
has sharp horns. both in Mexico and
the United States. Everywhere in this
country there is a conviction that UNI

the present situation, with fresh mas
sacres of Americans. No one not even
the pacifists, Is asking for Pershing's
withdrawal. He entered Mexico car
rying the mandate of an outraged ma
tion, charging him to seek out and de-
stroy those who violated the sovereign
ty of the United States and murdered
its citizens. No more solemn errand
was ever given to American forces
bearing the American flag.
However delicate the situation con-
Carranza, however sympathetic
the American government may be tow
ard his efforts to organize a stable gov

States is to make forever impossible
another outrage like that of Columbus.
The Mexicans who obstruct the execu-

The American flag can not be lowered
to such persons without humiliation

lean troops with Villa still defiant and
reinforced by Carranza's followers
would be one of the most humiliating
incidents in the history of the United

ToNall!l,lT;ls.

Tonsilitis IL a. fashionable spring
malady which starts inside OF the neck
and causes the possessor thereof to re-
greet having been born with one. As the
reader sits In his quiet home and lts-
tens to the sweet singing OF the birds
and the tripping tongue OF the gas
meter. In thousands OF other once
happy homes nothing il to be heard
but the labored breathing Of the tom
silitis victim and the rude kerslap OF
the cold compress. When the reader Is
Inclined to become fretful over the
size of the coal bill and the rancid ut
terances OF the last two pounds of but
ter, he should feel of his neck and then
ask forgiveness on Bonded knee.
Tonsilitis springs from two carefully
concealed bumps called tonsils, which
are located by nature in remote spot
and remain In the same place year
after year. Nature has flxed 1t 80 that
the tonsils are harder to get at than
the oil hole In q cone clutch and the
result is that the owner of a pair OF
unuhstrusive tonsils never becomes
aware Of their presence until after
they have started out on a mission OF
murder. How often It happens that
man will leave home In the morning
with both tonsils at rest, and before
night find that they have grown to the
size of premium cabbage and are
fomenting discord with great rapidity.
TcnsIlitis is always accompanied by
a gloomy feeling and lively impress
sion that the neck Is in q state OF re-
bellion.a The only way to cure tonsilitis
Is to lie flat on the back. abstain from
frivolous conversation and solid food
and try to repent ere 1t is too late.

A peremptory demand from Carranza
for the immediate withdrawal OF all
American troops in Mexico is the
next move to be looked for.
Villa has not been disposed OF. The
viIlista bands are still numerous and
capable OF resuming murderous raids in
American territory. The object for
which American troops entered Mexico
has not been accomplished.
General Scott Is comforting with Cen
eral Funston at San Antonio for the
purpose of ascertaining Carranza's pur-
poses, the extent Of his control over his
followers, the disposition Of his forces
and the question OF maintaining a
strong line OF communication with Per-

AS TO THE AMES SCHOOL.


Almost all Of the young Iowans, who
take the two-year course at Ames, go
back to the farm. OF $50. who have
graduated to the present, fourteen
have gone back. OF the forty eight
who will complete the course in June,
forty eight are going back to the farm.
That is as Il should pe. THESE youIIs
men are needed on the farms. There
would be little sense in taking the
course, If they did not intend to profit
by 1t. Perhaps at some future time,
the state college will confine itself ex-
ciusiyely to agriculture and studies
that are intimately connected with
Iowa's greatest industry and then
Ameg will become in very truth the
greatest agricultural school in the
land, perhaps in the world. In this age
Of specialization an agricultural college
ought to be growing in that direction.
