AT Longview. Texas, a little work done
by the chamber OF commerce a few years
ago, seems to be bearing good fruit this
spring in bringing hundreds Of song birds
To the shade trees which were formerly
occupied by sparrows. The work has
started by inducing boys and men to buy
small air rifles and shoot the sparrows,
put out poison, set mouse traps and break
up nests. The result i. that a great many
he'd birds, blue birds. knocking and other
song birds have taken the place of the
sparrows.-Honey Grove Citipen.

The Herald does not believe that General
Carranza or the leading generals Of his
army want war with the United States.
Mexico needs the friendship Of this coun-
try. She needs American capital with
which to rehabllitate her government and
revive her industries and commerce. Gen
eral Carranza is bound to appreciate the
friendly attitude of this government.

while Americans Of British descent may

SOME GOOD ADVICE
Strengthened By Lexington Experiences

Kidney disease is too dangerous
to neglect. At the first sign Of
backache. headache, dizziness or
urinary disorders, you should give
the weakened kidneys prompt at
tention. Eat little meat, take
things easier and use a reliable kid
ney tonic. There's no other kidney
medicine so well recommended as
Doan's Kidney Pills. Lexington
people rely on them. Here's one of
the many statements from Lexing-
ton people. P. H. Dennison, Hinson
Street, says: Il had lot Of trouble
with my kidneys and at times my
back was lame and painful. Doan's
Kidney Pills brought me immedi-
ate relief and continued use rid me
of the trouble. | have felt fine ever
since know of a good many rail-
road men who, like myself, are ex-
posed to all kinds Of weather and
suffer a great deal from kidney
trouble. They have also been
helped by Doan's Kidney Pills"

Pay State Debt Interest.

Nashville, Tenn, June 30.-The
State Treasury department an
nounced that they had forwarded to
the states financial agents in New
York the sum of $250,00O with
which to pay off the interest on the
state debt that is due in July.
They also announced that the semi
annual school fund is to be paid
out in July.
With the payment Of the state
debt and the payment Of the school
fund the state treasury will be

and very heavy draft is made
thereon for funds to transact the

Boundry Line.

That part OF the United States
Mexico boundary line extendine
from Ell Paso, Tex, to the Pacific
coast, is described in the following
war geography bulletin Of the Ma
tional Geographic society, issued
from Washington.
After leaving the Rio Grande, the
natural boundary, and striking due
west from Ell Paso for 100 miles. the
international line between tn e
United States and Mexico changes
five times before reaching the Pa
cific coast. AS if it had struck an
insurm0untable obstacle in the Big
Ratchet mountains, it turns at right
angles, and extends to the south for
80 miles, then strikes west again for
a distance Of more than 100 miles
to point beyond Nogales. Form
ing an obtuse angle, the line now
runs in northwesterly direction
for its longest leg, more than 29O
miles, until it reaches the Colorado
river, which forms the boundary for
20 miles from southwest to north
east. AT Yuma, near the juncture
of the ella river with the Colorado,
the line takes its final change of d.
rection, toward the west, termina-
ting in the Pacific, about lao miles
distant.
This boundary is marked by 258
monuments, more than 200 of
which are castiron weighing 800
pounds. They are six feet tall and
set in concrete The expense Of
their erection borne jointly by
Mexico and the United States.
with the exception of Bisbee,
Santa Cruz, Yuma and San Diego,
there are few settlements Of any
size within a twenty-mile zone on
each side Of the boundary, en-
bracing an area Of $4,000 square
miles.
Although the boundary was
chosen arbitrarily, when the work
Of surveying began it was found
that the line between the Colorado
and the Rio Grande followed almost
exactly the summit of the divide
separating the waters running north
into the United States from those
flowing south into Mexico.
The highest point on the line is
at the summit of the San Luis
range, part Of the continental d.
vide. The elevation is 5000 feet,
which is nearly 5000 feet above Ell
Paso. 1t is in this high altitude
that quantities of game are to be
found, making it one Of the most
interesting sections Of the line.
Here antelope, deer and wild tur-
keys are plentiful, and the acorDs
from the evergreen oaks Of the pic
turesque valleys attract great flocks
Of pidgeons. Many years ago there
were few struggling settlements in
this region, but they were aband-
oned during the raids of the ruthless
Apache chief, Geronimo.
One of the most considerable
towns along the border is Bisbee,
Ariz., with a population Of 5000.
