US. TROOPS WILL STAY IN MEXICO TILL ORDER
 IS BROUGHT, SAYS NOTE

washington, June 15-Secretary Lansing laid before President Wilson today the completed draft of a. note to General Garranza, replying to the demand that American troops be withdrawn form Mexico. The Presf- dent and MT. Lansing conferred at length on the situation.
 Unless some new development for cesl the situation, the reply will not be sent until next week at the ear Hest. President Wilson and his ad- visers are anxious to deal with the Carranza~ note in such fashion that ac- ton cannot be attributed to domestic politics.
 As drafted by Secretary Lansing, it Is understood the note declines to Mexico until the de facto government has shown both it's willingness and it's ability to police the border states properly.
 It also is said to make sharp re- joinder to suggestions of the Mexi- can communication which officials regard as discourteous and uncalled for. Carranza questioned the good faith of the Washington administra- ton and openly hinted that President Wilson had his eyes on the American political situation in dealing with the situation beyond the border.
 Carranza's request for new state nent of the intentions of the United States toward Mexico probably will be compiled with. It is understood, however, that the declaration will be framed so that the de facto govern ment can have no doubt that the United States government regards such a request as wholly unnecessary in view of all previous utterances of President Wilson. the acts of his ad- fninistration and the behavior of his Azoops now beyond the border.

The fight took place on the Amer ,fcan side, the Americans engaged, ac- cording to latest reports, being troops and M of the 14th cavalry under Major Gray. a total of about 14o men. The bandits numbered more than 100
 The Mexicans attacked the troops sat A. M Their sharp attack was met with a. spirited defense and at the end of half an hour the Mexicans were in retreat but not until they had killed two American troopers and wounded seven. From the brush about the camp there were recovered early today the bodies of six Mex jeans. Seven dead horses also were found.
 The watersoaked clothing of the dead Medcans was taken as indicating that they had forded the river from Mexico. At the time the official re- port was made by Major Gray he had not ascertaaned the name of the Mex dcans' leader nor any information as ! to whence they came, or to what or ganization they belonged.
 Major Gray, with two troops of the 14th cavalry, began the pursuit of the band and it was assumed at General F'unston's Headquarters that he had already followed or would follow the bandits into Mexico.

LINER On R0CKS;; 5 ARE LOST
Steamer Bear With More Than 100 Passengers
 Aboard Goes on Reef and
 is Wrecked. %
Two Boatloads Are Missing
 And Death List May Be
 Increased - Fog Causes ~ Disaster.

Eureka, Cal, June 15-Five bodies have been recovered from the steamer Bear, wreck
 ed last night on Sugar Loaf Rock. Two boatIoads of sur vivors have come ashore, one boat is reported trying to land and the remaining passengers and crew. are said to be aboard the tug Relief.
 One boat, carrying 90 per sons, was reported to have landed at Point sMendocino. Steamship officials said two others were missing, one from which the bodies were lost and
 another which was seen try ing to make land.
 1 Most of the 1S2 persons on board the liner were reported safe aboard the tug Rescue which went out from here. The fog which brought disaster to the Bear continued impenetra ble' today. The Bear, of the San Francisco 6 | Portland, Ore, for San Francisco, 1 went ashore last night about 10 o'clock. Passengers and crew were compelled to seek refuge in the ships l 1ifeboats.
 | The order to abandon ship was given and all on board got away safely. The l steamer went ashore during a thick fog but the sea was reported smooth and assistance from the nearest ports
 made all haste to the shipwrecked company
 The life saving station at Eureka, oa11 1o m1ies north of the scene of the
 wreck, started out a power lifeboat at 10:30 and at midnight the tug Relief | left for the scene of the wreck. A radio message received early to- l day reported that Captain L. N. No l pander, master of the Bear, had or dered the ship abandoned about mid l night and that all 1ifeboats had got safely away from the ship and were waiting in smooth water the arrival of the rescue boats which, in addition to the, battleship Oregon, the Eureka 1 1ifeboat and the tug Relief, included the steamer Grace Dollar.
 The battleshfp Oregon and the l steamer Grace Dollar, which answer 1 ed the s. O. S. calls of the stranded liner, have been patro11ing the viz | c1nity of the wreck since early morn | ing A tug and 1ifesaving crew from | IAAAS po1I dTO also at the scene. @ 1 A thick fog lay over the water at daybreak and a heavy swell was run
 ming The Oregon arrived before l daybreak and played it's big search
 lights through the fog to no avail. l When the liner cradIed in the rocks, Captain Nopander did not send out
 an s. O.. S. call immediately, evil tdently believing he could clear his
 boat Apparently finding the steamer tightly clamped he ordered the pas
 sengers into the 1ifeboats.
 The Bear was leaking badly when signs of breaking up. She carried a cargo of ? 700 tons.
 Sugar Loaf Rock, which the Bear
 struck, is the outermost pinnacle of a reef that has caused the destruction | of d4zen vessels in the last 20 years. Close by the spot where the
 Bear is supposed to have struck, the | steamer Southal was wrecked 10
 years ago with a loss of many lives.

Name Your Farm.

Give the farm a name and
keep the farm up to the name.
A name gives distinction, it is an
expression of honest pride. it
is an expression CT honest pride,
it shows an interest in the place.
1t means something more than
so many acres of brown earth, a
dwelling and barns. 1t means a
place that one feels is in the best
sense the home of himself and
his family. Sentiment gathers
around it and crystalizes so that
at last the owner does not so
much ask in declining years, how
much can l get for MY farm?
but who is going to succeed me
on it," And that means deep
ening and strengthening of home
ties and those of locality, both
of which are greatly needed in
American rural life. But for
practical reasons as well as SEN
timental it is wise to bestow a
name upon the farm. No self
respecting man would give a
good name to his farm and then
keep the fern in poor condition.
The sense of pride would prompt
any man to do his level best.
That would mean better cultiva-
ton, house and barn painted,
fences in good condition, better
stock and better crops and more
attractive appearance within
and without the dwelling. There
is scarcely a farm, however sit
uated that some appropriate
name may not be given it. Land
scape, spring, clump of trees,
position, historic associations are
among the many things that may
suggests the name. And always
remember this, that it is with
the farmer more than anyone
else, tests the solution of the
problem of arresting the drift
citywards. An attractive home,
a home that has a distinctive
ness about it, goes a long way
toward the solution.

AN CULTURAL IN the July VIC.
mans Home Companion says:
Many men seem to take a
certain pride in the fact that
their wives have all the fresh
ness and lack of experience of a
little girl They think, because
they have shut their wives off
from any contact with real life,
that they are better. more indul-
gent husbands than those who
go to their wives at night with
their troubles, and who never
make an important business move
without first planning it out at
home, They are wrong. In the
first place. they deprive them
selves of a valeable asset in bust
ness-the clear, penetrating pow
err of woman's intuition. In
the second place, it is no compli-
ment to woman to keep her
forever a little girl. Life is not
made rich by evading RESPONSE
bilities; the man who shuts his
wife off from his business be-
cause he wants to save her Wor-
ry, and from child. bkaring be-
cause he cannot think of her en-
during pain, generally succeeds
in giving her a sense of utter
uselessness that makes her mis-
cradle. And, in the event of
his death, he leaves her problems
with which she is utterly unpre-
pared to cope.
Many of the moral break
downs occur, not in youth, but
in the middlelife period, when
habits are supposed to have been
formed and character fixed.
Youth is usually free from covet-
BUSINESS and greed, Middle age
is less likely to be. Almost ev-
cry week the newspapers report
the financial difficulties, if not
the downright dishonesty, of
some respected man in middle
life, who has sacrificed every
thing in trying TO get too much.
"And we have noted thst such
catastrophes take place less Of
ten in the families where the
wife is fully acquainted with her
husbands affairs"
