What Is q Patriot7

What Is a patriot? Are there any
alive to-day, or were they species OF
creature which existed at the time OF
the Revolution, or of the Civil War?.
"a patriot" says the dictionary, ''is.
one who loves his country and zeal :
ously guards its welfare" We think
such men and boys still exist. Let
US see what is necessary to be
patriot. First, he must love his
country. The word is not like, nG7
be moderately fond OF, but love.
Second, he must guard Its welfare.
This does not say he must let some
body else guard its welfare, but he
must do IL himself. He Innst not say,
LET the other fellow fight" but II
will fight" Guarding its welfare does
not consist 10 fighting alone, for there
are not always invasions to repel. 1t
consists also In guarding Its civil
welfare, In being good law-abidlng
citizen, who attends TO his duties as
a citizen. You guard your country's
welfare when you 20 on election day
and vote for the man you think will
best serve 1t. You guard your
countrYis welfare when you refrain
yourself from doing an act contrarg
to Its desire. Now. thirdly. how
must you guard 1t? Zealously. That
means with all your heart and soul
and strength: not lazlly, not inGlffer-
emily, but with all the strength and
will and power that is in You. Ii
these things are true of you, then you
are a patriot. Nothing short OF 1t
will answer. American Boy.

TRAPPING A PYTHON.
The Monster Is a Victim of His Own
Greedy Appetite.

1reeuy Appetite.
The python's weak point is its stom-
ach; it is a glutton. Not satisfied with
a full supper, it will start at once on
next weeks breakfast If by chance
that future meal happens to be within
easy reach.
A python generally lives in hole in
the ground or a hollow in tree, but
If it can find an old ruin in the jungle
and there are many old ruins in In
dat likes to take up its sleeping
quarters there, because even in the
heaviest rains the water runs off the
ruins quickly, whereas a hole in the
ground is likely to be flooded. The
python needs to eat only once week,
and to get that meal 1t lies fiat along
the bough of tree near a stream and
waits for its prey to come to drink.
When the natives see the long trail
that the python's body makes near the
bank and find heap of ruins near by
they make a hole in the ruined wall
just exactly big enough for the python
to get through. Then they tie pig to
a stake near the hole on one side of
the wall, and on the other side of the
wall opposite the hole they tie another
pig to stake. They also tie a wire
to tie leg or the tail of the near side
pig, and as evening draws on they
twist it from a distance. and the pig
squeals. AS the python comes home
to bed it hears the squeals.
So the python comes along merrily
and seizes its supper at single bite.
Down goes the pig into the big snakes
throat. sucked in slowly by sheer mus
cular action. In about half an hour
the pig has passed completely down
the long neck, and In another half
hour it is down a couple of yards far
ther into the python's stomach.
Most animals would go to sleep right
away after a gorge like that. But
meanwhile the second pig on the other
side of the wall has realized its unhap-
by brothers woeful fate and has set
up most distressing noise. The py-
thon puts its head through the hole
and sees 1t.
"Ahr' it says to itself. Here's my
next weeks breakfast"
And instead of waiting for next
week to come that greedy python swal-
lows the second pig too. The willy ma
tives wait until the second pig is well
on its way down the python's body;
then they have the snake caught. Pig
No. prevents it from advancing. and
pig No. 2 prevents it from retreating.
The natives lasso the python around
the neck. break down the wall and
pass coil of rope between the two
Jumps of pig before they can amalga-
mate Then they bear away the py-
thon to captfvity.-"Wonders Of the
Jungle"

On Way to
The Border
National Guard to be Placed at General
Funston's Disposal.

AuSSNor IL was eHpeCtSu
among army officials that 12, 900
national guard would be started
for the Mexican border that day,
that oooo others would immediate
ly follow and that within 10 DAYS
General Funston would have TO-
900 men to supplement the regular
army units athis disposal. Orders
from the Office of the secretary of
war at Washington urged that
mobilization and recruiting be
fastened as rapidly as possible.
Hurried preparations were made
to receive the national guard
troops at FL Paso, Texas, where.
20, 900 were expected to Join the
5000 regular troops already on the
ground, making Ell Paso the
largest concentration camp in the
United States.
All national guard companies
have been ordered to recruit up to
I42 men. This is proving a diff
cult matter as most of the COM
panies have had but 6s men or
even less and recruiting is slow
while many who offer themselves
are rejected because of inability to
pass the rigid regular army physi-
cal tests. Many who fail. to pass,
are being sent home from the state
mobilization camps. Regular
army officers advocate the consoli-
dation of national guard units
joining two or three small com.
panies to make one Of the required
strength. An emergency bill for
this purpose was introduced in
congress and slowness in passing
it became the occasion for much
impatience.
The house resolution authorizing
the president to draft national
guardsmen into the federal service
was adopted by the senate Monday
The resolution permits that guards
men having families dependent
upon them can be excused.
The army appropriation bill was
passed by the house June 20 with
the total increased TO SI8o, 600,
600, and was then sent TO the
senate.
According TO an announcement by
the quarttrmaster's department Of
the United States supplies have bcen
provided along the Mexican border
for an army OF 200, 900 for the next
30 days. Two thousand motor trucks
are being provided and 400 automo
biles for use OF the Officers.
A virtual embargo against supplies
OF military value going into Mexico
has been established by the United
States along the border and both
coasts.
That Japan Is backing Mexico In
her defiance OF the United States is

/ denied by japanese officials.
The Idaho regiment encamped at
Boise has been recruited TO about

Their State
Platforms
Republicans and Democrats Declare
Principles of the Campaign.

The republicans and democrats
adopted platforms in their state
conventions at Boise June II.
The republican platform praises
the national guard for responding
to the country's call, declares for
state, constitutional and national
prohibition, women's suffrage,
workmen's compensation, reclama-
ton of lands, economy in state
affairs and scores Governor Alex
ander's exercise of the veto power
on appropriations. 1t condemns
the land board system and pledges
the party to complete reorganiza-
ton of the department: awe
favor" says the plank in part,
"the enactment of laws which will
prevent the loaning of the money
of the state to any of its officers or
employees, either appointive or
elective, or to any of the relatives
thereof" The fish and game de.
partment is branded as a political
machine, and the platform de-
clares for elimination of politics
from it.
The initiative, referendum and
recall, smaller legislature and
longer tenure of Office, a north and
south railroad to be built by con
vict labor, rural credits and lower
taxes are also declared for. The
platform indorses Hughes and
Fairbanks.
The democratic platform con-
tains three paramount planks. The
first calls for an investigation of
the state land department and
condemns the four republican
members of that board for permit
ting questionable. transactions in
loaning state trust funds; the
, second calls for an amendment to
the public utilities act to give the
commission jurisdiction ever Sc
curities of public utilities, and the
third for the loaning of funds to
the farmers only at S per cent.
State, constitutional and national
prohibition, woman suffrage, work
mems compensation, state audit
ing department and other planks
Similar to those in the republican
platform are indorsed. The ad-
mlnistrations of President Wilson
and Governor Alexander are in
dorsed and the foreign and Mexi
can policies of the president COM
mended. The calling of the ma
tlonal guard to the colors is praised.
The progressive leaders at a
conference released all members of
ihe progressive party to vote in
oependently and decided not to
place IN nomination a state ticket.
