President Wilson has made 1t plain
to Mexico that the sending of U. s.
troops into that country is not inter
vention. The expedition. has but one
purpose and that is to hunt down the
outlaws who invaded the soil OF the
United States and murdered several
citizens of this country; to punish the
bandits and to break up the band.
When that is accomplished the troops
of the United States will return. It
is safe to say, however. that there
will be good cleaning up. and a
lesson will be taught Mexicans who
may entertain an idea of assailing cit.

government of the United States, that

While the vote In both branches of
congress left no element of doubt
that the country is firmly back of
President Wilson in his foreign pol
icy in connection with submarines,
yet the vote should have been unani-
nous. In the house a good example
was set by Congressman Ashbrook,
whose name is early on the roll call,
and on the several votes taken In con.
nection with the proposition, he voted
every time to sustain the president.
He did exactly right and his action,
no doubt, is commended by his con-
stituents. A man like Ashbrook is a
tower of strength to President vii.

In the Frozen North

Many sections of Alaska are isolat-
ed for nine months OF the year and
must depend upon supplies secured
during the open season. Almost every
camp has Hanford's Balsam for
sprains, bruises, etc, although it
takes a year to fill the order. James
Anicich handles it at Tanana-the
very heart of Alaska-and out of his
own stock cured one woman of lame
back after she had been unable to
stand for two years. Another man
took quantity back across the noun
tains above the Arctic circle to Cold
Foot. The liniment is worth its
weight in gold to the miners.

FISHING
In Owl Creek Recalled By Old
Pals In Talk At Columbus
columbus Dispatchl

w. S. Speelman, musician and for
mer engineer at the bridegworks at
Mt. Vernon, was in town last week on
visit to his old side partner Jim
Back of the Savoy hotel and the way
their tongues ratified was caution.
There is a log which sticks out in
Owl creek" said Mr.. Speelman, "and
1t has had my hoodoo for years. Jim
Back, Jack and Harry Williams and
myself would fish in the water about
that log for day after day and we only
got one fish each day. We were un--
able to land two or more fish, try as
we might, and finally it got to be
joke all over the country. Day after
day for years we went there and re-
turned at night with only single bass
to pay us for our trouble"
That reminds me-" said Back. do
you remember the old spot In Owl
creek known as the public hole?' Well
one day the Williams boys and my
self had been fishing for hours in diff
ferent parts of the stream and stopped
at the public hole to eat. No one ev-
er fished in that hole for it was right
near the road and the supposition was
that all the fish had been scared away
because of the noise along the road of
passing wagons and buggies. More
from habit than anything else we bait
ed our hooks and dropped them in the
hole and sat down to eat. Soon saw
my pole wabbling, then the two Will
liams boys saw theirs and hang me if
we didn't take 2S bass from that old
hole spurned by everybody, the water
having been muddled by hogs wallow-
ing around some distance up the
creek Jack Williams, who knows ev-
cry fishing place in all Owl creek, new
er got over the shock, and talks about
it to this day"
