DENVER, June 20.-All Denver
militiamen excepting the signal and
medical corps are expected to mobi-
ize in the field range tonight. Adju-
tant General Gamble says it will re-
quire at least two months to bring
the militia up to war efficiency.
Stiff training is the program for
the Golden camp.
Gamble frankly admitted the guarl
was in poor shape in some ways and
a majority of the companies are not
manned to full strength and the
equipment in some departments is
poor. There is an appalling short
age of'horses. These the government
must furnish.

PERFUNCTORY
DEMONSTRATIONS

1t was about the time of the Grown
of thorns and the cross of goldp that
the demonstration feature of nation
al conventions came prominently into
use. Since that time it has been
used and abused by all parties.
However, this year the Republicans
decided that the people of this ser
ious nation could no longer afford
to act foolish when such great ques-
tions as are now before US, were
pressing themselves for solution.
When men as rule get serious they
have no time for foolishness, They
have no time for TWO HOURS AND
TWENTY MINUTES of hilarity. In
troublesome time like these, when the
souls of men and women are tried.

LET THE PRESIDENT GET THIS
OUT OF HIS MIND
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
Even when face to face with such
concrete problems of International
policy us confront him today President
Wilson continues to cherish mis-
taken idea.
He is not the president of humans
ty; he is the president of the United
States.
His duties are not vague and gen
eral, or diffused thruout the earth in
the performance of what he is accus-
toned to style Service His duties
are specific, they are confined to the
United States, not the general moral
law.
If he will get this out OF his mind
the confusion of official responsibility
which he manifested in his speech at
the jefferson day banquet, the diff
cult task now confronting him Will
become less difficllt.

HUGHES SUPPORT

Almost universal appreciation OF
by the Republican press of the coun-
try as excerpts from editorial opin-
ion which have appeared on this page
show.
The New York Tribune may be
sl', to have started the boom for
loo evelt when it declared him rhe
man for the presidency six months
ago. The Tribune fought to the very
last for his nomination at Chicago
yet on Monday it announced that the
paper would support Hughes.
W. r. Hearst, who favored Roose-
welt, has indorsed Hughes over his
own signature in the Chicago Ex-
aminer and in the Los Angeles Ex-
aminer, two of his strongest publica-
tions. His other newspapers will fol
low the same policy.
The Advertiser and Evening Record
o. Boston, the Press of Cleveland,
the Rocky Moun tain News and Times
of Denver and others who were for
Roosevelt have indorsed Hughes.
The "favorite son" organs can do
nothing else but get behind Hughes
or repudiate the party as at no time
did any of them have chance at
the Republican convention. The gen
eral satisfaction that has been eX-
pressed by party leaders and the pub
lie over the selection of Hughes
should be extremely satisfying to the
party leaders.--Des Moines Capital.

PLAYING POLITICS

Before the time of the conventions
the Democratic politicians We're us
ing every effort to win to their side
the German-American vote. They
showed up Roosevelt as monster
who would annihilate everything Ger
man in this country and finally as
sist in overthrowing the German
empire. ......-.
After the Chicago convention nomi-
mated Hughes for president and these
same politicians were satisfied that
they could no longer expect the large
body of the German vote that had
not been in harmony with either
Wilson's or Roosevet's idea of neu-
trality, they at once swung to the
other side with the idea Of playing
for the pro-English vote.

politicians to be Arrayins Americans

WASHINGTON, June 20 = Are
dondo broke his engagement with
Secretary of State Lansing this after
noon, after receiving Wilson's note
to Carranza.
Carranza State Mexico's Position
While addressing delegation OF
teachers and students in Mexico City
today, Carranza said, "If the United
States wishes war with Mexico they
will have to begin it by invading our
territory. We will not tolerate send e
ing any punitive expeditions across
the border even on the pretext of
hunting bandits.
Protecting Americans
Rodgers wired he had arranged for
special train to take Americans
from Mexico City tomorrow. He said
the first anti-American demonstra-
tion occurred yesterday, but did not
prove to be serious.
Anti-American Feeling Across
the Border
Anti-foreign feeling in Saltillo is
so intense several Americans and
Englishmen took refuge in the Brit
ish consulate Sunday night. Dem
onstrations occurred after Consul Sill
liman started toward the border.
Reports are IN circulation through
Mexico tending to hurt the Ameri-
cans and fan the Mexican patriotism.
A Nuevo Laredo newspaper SAID
that General Treyino ordered General
Persbirg to leave behind his NUM-
tiona, motor trucks and artillery. Toe
later fearing humiliation agreed to
do SO.
Five thousand Cairanzistas are be-
tween Nuevo Laredo and Altos await
ing marching orders north.
Increase the Army Horses and Mules
General Funston announced in San
Antonio the war department had or
dered the purchase of $4,000 horses
and mules for the militia. The gen
eral said he had informed the govern
mcnt of the number he would need,
but he declined to give the figures for
publication. However, the number is
supposed to be $1,000.
More Ships Sent.
Following stirring scenes, three
cruisers and three destroyers left the
San Diego harbor this forenoon, for
Mexican waters. More are leaving
this afternoon. These will continue
to depart until a total of II under
Admiral Winslow, have been sent.
1t is believed if the militia is sent
to the border the New York and NJ
nois contingents will receive the first

as an act of war, Secretary of War
Baker has withdrawn until later his
request that congress authorize Will

WASHINGTON, June 20.-Presi-
dent Wilson's reply to Carranza has
been published. He positively de-
clines to withdraw the expedition.
Carranza is threatened with the
gravest consequences if he attacks
the expedition. The tone of the Car
rarza note is resented ard his failure
TO cooperate with the eHpeditionary
forces criticised.
Reasons for Refusal 10 Withdraw
In his reply Wilson cites scores
of instances of banditry. He alleges
the Cairanzistas are Indifferent to
atrocities. The President says the
assurance of the present head of the
Mexican government that American
lives would be protected had never
been kept.
Bluntly he asserted his determine
ton to prevent further raids. Re
ferring to the Santa Ysabel raid.
he stated anly one of the murders has
ever been punished.
Villa Protected by Carranza Troops
The President said after the Colum-
bus raid Villa fled unhindered within
sight of the Casas Grande's garrison
General Scott agreed 20 Withdraw the
expedition after General Obregon
claimed the Carranza troops could
prevent banditry and raids.
Because Carranza demanded i'm
mediate withdrawal, he refused to
agree to this plan, and meanwhile the
Glenn Springs raid occurred.
Denies Mexico's Pacification Impeled
The President denied the charge the
American expedition impeded Mex
ico's pacification and asserted it en-
couraged the defacto government.
The embargo on arms was the nat
ural consequence of Carranza's hos
tile attitude and lack of cooperation
in protecting American lives and
prop "rty. As long as this attitude
continues the president assured Car
rama the embargo would continue.

One of the strongest drawing cards
for any large exposition is always its
educational possibilities. With the
Mississippi Centennial these POSSIBLE
tiles have doubled in value since it is
the means by which Mississippians
will be placed for the first time in full
touch with the limitless promises OF
their own State, while outsiders will
stand amazed as at sight Of a new
world.
Here in every department will be
found the highest perfection yet at
tanned in Observation-Disclosures, me-
chanical, artistic, domestic, ingenui-
ties, stock, poultry, everything worth

all the world over will bring their fin
est products here to be admired and

For the young people and many of
the old there will be a liberal educa-

implements will be inspiration for
newer and better inventions.

TRAIN Of CORN MORE THAN 1897 MILES LONG
Mississippi's 1915 Corn Crop Worth Well Above
Fifty Million Dollars. Phenomenal
Increase Just Begun

Each acre Of corn in the State yields
about eight bushels more than it did
in 1907, and with three million three
hundred and fifty thousand acres
planted this increase is really worth
while Thus the gross increase in
corn production Is forty-three million
bushels. II this corn was loaded into
cars, one thousand bushels to the car,
the cars with couplers averaging fifty
feet In length, the train required to
haul this increased product would be
composed of forty-three thousand cars
and would measure just three hun
dred and ninety-seven miles in length.
So much for progressive education!
All Of this marvellous reconstruction
of States productive resources did
not just happen" 1t is result of
careful, patient and insistent work,
undertaken by good men with a peo-
pie who were ready to be shown. There
are still many who do not quite be-
lieve, are welded to old methods and
don't take what they see in the pa.
pers for gospel" The Mississippi Cen.
tennial Exposition offers splendid
opportunity to bring these men into
the firing line Of progressive farm
truths, when they cannot help but see
what has actually been done along ad-
vanced lines. Ten thousand corn club
boys will attend the Exposition, bring
ing in their wake ten thousand dads,
who have already seen the light. Never
has there been offered such an oppor'
tunity to inspire the young mind and
enthuse the old with progressive truths
and advanced methods.
1t Is a college for those men who
have only heretofore received the
rudiments of successful agriculture,
and will mean a gold mine of rich ex-
perience for men and boys alike.
Right fitting is it, too, that Mr..
Blakeslee, the father Of Mississippi
Corn Clubs, should be here in his own
proper person to meet these men and
boys for whom his wise guidance has
meant so much and extend them a
cordial welcome as general manager
Of the greatest agricultural show ever
held in the South.

LIGHT OF The FREELY.

Experiments That Demonstrated How
the Glow Is Produced.
To find out just how and why the
tiny FREELY is able at will to transform
itself into a living lamp a series OF
very interesting and instructive ex-
periments have just been conducted
by +. Alexander McDermott and
Charles G. Crane Of the hygienic lab
oratory of the United States public
health and hospital service in Wash
ington, says the New York World.
The investigation necessarily called
for considerable delicate microScrop1cal
study of the light producing organs
Of the tirefy. 1t was found that tho
insect produces its light by oxidation
that is, by practical combustion. These
organs are traversed by tubes con-
tinuous with those used for breathing.
and the investigation found evidence
that air is drawn into the organs OF
the freely every time it wants to IL
Illuminate itself and it's surroundings.
The luminous organ is divided into
IWO gC1o, TIC AAhCh OhC W
ing white and opaque and serving as
q reflector, the outer being yellowisb
and translucent and containing the
actual light producing mechanism.
The luminous organs are penetrated
from the interior of the insect out
ward by innumerable tubes which
ramify within the true luminous tissue,
running diagonally outward and finally
uniting with the breathing tubes or
windpipes, with which they are ap-
parently identical. When the FREELY
wants to strike light it takes a deep
BREATH drawing in the air through the
breathing tracheae and forcing 1t
through the fine passages or tubes in
its photogenic tissue, where the oxy-
gen of the air is consumed In bio
logical oxidation. The FREELY and other
tiny insects capable Of self illumina-
ton are now known to possess fiuor-
escent material. 1t is the action of the
inhaled oxygen upon this fuorescent
material that produces the glow.

Among the many agencies actively
engaged In this campaign of live stock
education, and by far one of the most
potent factors, has been an intelligent
and energetic citizenship which has
eagerly seized upon and made the
most of its opportunities. A lions
share of the credit for the remarkable
forwardness shown in such lines must
truthfully be accorded to the various
State and county fairs which have been
held throughout the State. With po-
tential aim they have brought all the
States best possibilities and lined
them up In full force where the wise
man might see and grasp the benefits
and where even the lightest skeptic
must give way to the powerful argu-
ment of his own vision.
This campaign is only in it's infancy.
