Washington.0With the receipt of a
pacific and concilliatory note from
Carranza, administration officials ex-
pressed confidence that war between
the United States and Mexico is now
remote possibility.
The informal mediation by the Lat
in-American diplomats appears to be
bearing fruit President Wilson, in
accordance with assurances given the
nvoys, is retiring Gen. Pershing's
expedition toward the border. Gen.
}arranza, in accordance with his
promise TO the Pan-American Repub-
lies, has returned pacific answer to
the Presidents ultimatum. Ambassa-
dor Naon of Argentina and his Latin
american colleagues are confident
President Wilson and Gen. Carranza,
both having made concessions, will
find ground on which complete
agreement may be based. Ambassa-
dor Naon now intends to present to
both the President and Gen. Carranza
his plan for the joint policing by
American and Mexican troops of a
border zone in Mexico
The note arrived by telegraph early
In the day and only the fact that the
Fourth of July was being celebrated
by all government departments pre-
vented its immediate delivery. A
verbal synopsis of the communication
made public by embassy attaches,
nf
indicates that it is of an unexpected
ly conciliatory character. The ambas-
sador himself spent the day in the
country and on his return excused
himself from any discussion of his
overnment's attitude as now Off.

Without doubt, the effect of the

the two governments.

ter. but It is possible that American
officials will not fully share the opti-
mistic views of the Mexican embassy,
when they review the language of the
Carranza note.

Element of the difficulties between the
.wo governments, he will be met more
than half way. The diplomatic dis
cussion foreshadowed in that event,
however, would have to be wholly
aside from the steps the Washington
government deems it necessary to
take to protetct American lives and
property along the border. No pro-
posal for immediate withdrawal of
Gen. Pershing's troops would be en-
tertained as preliminary to a
further exchange of views on joint op.
erations against bandits.

Quarantine Ties Up Militia Camp.

Cheyenne, Wyo.-Camp Kendrick.
the Wyoming mobilization camp, is in
quarantine because of the appearance
of smallpox in Company b, Lander.
Guards have been doubled, no leaves
granted and militiamen in the city
hastily recalled. A fortnight's quaran-
tine is feared. So far, only one case
has developed. A number of militia
men, said to be of Company II, Alton.

There is wonderful revival OF
mining interest at Georgetown which.
though not a boom, promises to be
continuous and to increase as time
goes on. The recent drop in the price
of silver does not seem to have in any
way checked the reopening of old
properties and the commencement OF
work on new.

Three Towns Of Importance.
There are three towns of impor-
tance on Margarita island-Porlamar
Pampatar and Asuncion. The entire
island has population of about 49,
900 souls, and Porlamar has about
5000. Porlamar is the busiest and
most thriving OF all three towns and
the largest. It is at Porlamar that the
bimonthly steamers OF the Venezuela
company call, although 1t must be
stated that this service is most un-
certain. A biweekly service is main
tanned by sloop with the town Of Caru-
pano on the mainland, and intending
travellers for Margarita are advised to
make Carupano their objective, and
TO there await the departure Of some
small sailing craft for Margarita
island. While this method may be
more uncomfortable, It is far prefera-
BILE to long wait on an uncertain
coastal steamer. and one is certain
of having to remain in Carupano for
not over three days at the most.
Pampatar is the official port Of the
island, and 1t is here that all vessels

strange to say, one finds great deal
more mention made of Margarita
island in the early historians of the
sixteenth century, such as Las Casas,
Herrera, Oviedo ct al. than one does
in modern works. Without going ex-
tensively into the early history of the
island since its discovery in 1898,
might mention that pearl fisheries in
the waters surrounding Margarita
and Coche were of prime importance
during the first 80 years after their
existence had been discovered. The
fisheries, however, were exhausted by
the careless management of the early
Spanish settlers, and Margarita island
became lost to public memory and re-
mains lost to this day.
Margarita was occupied by the
Guaiqueri Indians at the time of it's
discovery. This fierce race of people
was not readily subjugated by the
Spanish colonists. Thanks to the war
like qualities of this race, large per-

mains on the island today, more espe-

renowned Margarita hammocks are
made from the native cotton, and
these hammocks command ready
sale on the north coast of the main
land and are even exported to the
British island of Trinidad. One sees

thread for these hammocks from the
native cotton by the ancient spindle
whorl method, and cannot but admire

PUBLIC PARKS A NECESSITY
Few Cities Today Fail to Recognize
the Importance of Providing Proper
Breathing Spaces.

A park commissioner of Louisville
makes the following statement regard
ing the purpose and value of parks:
The use of public parks is to promote
the wellbeing and happiness of the
people, to alleviate the hard conditions
of crowded humanity. to encourage
outdoor recreations and intimacy with
nature, to fill the lungs of tired work
ers from city factories and shops with
pure and wholesome air. whenever
they will or can afford to spend day
in shady groves, under spreading trees
or ON the jeweled meadows. They are
Ravens of sweetness and rest for moth
ers and wives and sweethearts; above
all, they are for the children, for the
people, high and low, rich and poor,
without distinction, with equal rights
and privileges for every class. A city
that does not acknowledge the neces-
sity for public parks as means fer
promoting the welfare and happiness
OF its people, and recognize the sub
stantial advantages that follow the
making Of a city attractive and COM
Portable as a place of residence, is not
progressing. but is already on the
wane."

The most economical way to kill
weeds is through blowing and harrow
ing. After the ground is plowed cross
harrow and roll and after a few days
follow with the smoothing harrow.
The constant stirring of the soil
will bring most of weed and grass
seeds to the surface and as soon as
they terminate the plants may be
easily killed with either the harrow or
the cultivator.
The stirring of the ground when the
weeds are small is the quickest way to
cleanse the land. Never let the weeds
in the garden or corn field become
firmly rooted.
The hand cultiyator and harrow are
the best implements for working
among the small root crops in the
garden. The ground should be stirred
after every shower as soon as it is
dry enough to work. The push hoe
should be ground sharp IN using it
