& Burnett, livestock commission
merchants. Louisville, Kentucky,
we we're invited to attend the Hsr-
mony Dinner given by the local
stockmen on the 18th of April IN
the Live Stock Exchange Building
of the Bourbon Stock Yards. We
we're glad to be there 1t was a
function worthy of remembrance.
The gathering consisted of local
stOckmen. railroad representatives,
packers, butchers, newspaper men,
telegraph companies officials and
visitors from other cities They
discussed matters looking forward
to a greater Louisville along lines
pertaining to their business, the
subject being disposed Of under the
heads Of "The Spirit of 1916"
'-Greater Possibilities" '<PatrOnize

err Transportation -HEs Can,

Stand. Divided We Fan,- Ken

tiOn," and "a Long Pull. Strong
Pull and a Pull Altogether" The
teastmaSter, " 4. Burnett. who
acquitted himself with distinction,
was a son of one Of the first IN
struetors of this press representa-
tive. The dinner was elegantly pre-
pared and was delicious
What we gathered from the talk
was this: Louisville people are
looking forward to the establishing
Of large packing houses, making
that city the largest live stock mar
ket in the country. Each year has
shown a business increase, reach
ing to this date a s25,OOO, 900 bust
ness annually.
What we gathered worthwhile to
Mt. Sterling and Eastern and Cen
trail Kentucky were: To accommo-
date the travelling business public
we must have better hotel accommO-
dations, We must possess a more
harmonious cooperative spirit. We
must be the better prepared to take
care Of our live stock business with
modern stock yards. Stockmen
and every citizen should be inter
ested to their capacity limits.
There was time when the Louis
vile live stock market did not ag-
gregate as much as that of Mt.
Sterling, and to this, one of the
early live stock men of Louisville,
who was present at this harmony
meeting. Mrs Bell, could have testi-
fed. Mt. Sterling has an oppor-
tunity for advancement now. Our
business men should catch a pro-
gressive vision, they should plan,
they should be leaders in the execu-
ton Of well formulated plans. Our
markets are largely of unaided nat
ural growth and are now ready for
home industries. Are We ready for
the progressive spirit now at our
doors? If not, then give way to
those with anxiety, nerve and will
power. We are not in need of hin
derences-it is pluck and enter
prise.
Business Mems Club, adjust your
thinking caps-fall in line with this
period of prosperity and progress

The English troops are continuing

WILSON ACCEPTS
MEXICAN PROPOSAL
AGREES TO SUBMIT SOLUTION
OF BORDER PROBLEMS TO
JOINT COMM SSIoN.
Through Exchange Of Ideas Il 10
Hoped Way May be Found to EH-
tend Financial Aid to Merlean
Government.

Washington.-Gen Carranza has
been informed In a note handed to his
ambassador here that the Washington
government is prepared to submit 70
Joint international commission the
task of seeking a solution OF border
problems.
The proposal of the de facto gov
eminent for commission Is accept
ed, however, with the suggestion that
the powers of the commissioners be
enlarged beyond the limits proposed
In the Mexican note of July IL.
Agreement to this suggestion Is ex-
pected and 1t was stated officially
that the American members would be
appointed and the commission be as
sembled at some point in the United
States at an early date.
General Carranzas answer is not
expected for several days and officials
here do not believe the commission
can begin sessions for two weeks at
least. The state department will in
sist that the meeting place be within
the United States, as the question Is
| quire a neutral setting.
A proposal to widen the scope o.
subjects to be discussed by the com
mission is viewed in administration
circles as an extremely important as
pect of the situation. 1t Is through
an exchange of ideas on the whole
Mexican problem that 1t Is hoped

tons. Neither American nor MexicaI
officials here have been willing to dis
cuss the policy, however, and 1t al
pears certain the administration ha
no present plan of that nature.

MARRIAGE NOT THE WAY OUT
Working Girl May Find Her L1t
Harder Than Ever When She
Enters Wediock.

One Of the most serious obstacles
20 woman's advancement In Industrial
life Is the general feeling on the part
OF the woman that 1t isn't going to be
necessary to work for any great
IOaRth of time, because the knight"
win soon be coming along, when she
will have a home of her own, declares
Detroit Journal

has said when It was suggested to her
that she give more thought to her
task. "The work Is only temporary,

brain with thlnkiSy out detalls3"
The exaggerated expectations OF
girls as to the Improvement OF their
lot when married In the matter of
work Is something wonderful. Society
helps to accentuate this belief by
society frowning on woman workers
and insisting that they go to house
keeping and get out of the Industrial
grind.
Now a woman In "the lower walks
Of llfe," as one pats It, which means
a woman who Is one of family with
an income less than will support all
the members on the wages OF the
father cannot escape work by getting
married,
With married life on a small income
the necessity of work is more pressing
than when single. For married life
presuppOses more than one stomach Il

due time, ordinarily. there will b.
three, four or Ave mouths to be feC
and backs to be clothed. Work. Mos
women know little about work unit
they are married.
So married life is not an escap'
