A Call to the Towns.

1t is high time that the rural Sec
tions Of America called to the towns
to mend their ways and their streets.
This is our conclusion after summer
tour of hundreds of miles through a
prosperous country. We found high
ways in rural sections we'll kept and
comfortable, but there was a far diff
ferent story in the small cities and in
the numerous towns and villages
through which we passed. The main
country roads were smooth boulevards
compared with the streets in the
average town or city. In some places
where the homes were handsome and
the factories busy the streets were full
Of holes.
It was striking illustration of the
greatest roads failure in America.
Small cities and towns have Jagged.
A roads expert, who has recently trav-
eled over most of the country, says
the fault is general. In the past five
years the rural situation has vastly
improved, but the small city and town
showing is sad. When you near a set
Element you begin to bump.
For this the explanation is that the
town or city has too much local poll
tics. A banker said to us: 1--WE have
two factions and each is so busy fight
ing the other that nothing is done for
the town." 1t is a great pity. The
very communities that ought to be
ahead on good thoroughfares are be-
hind.
Perhaps farmers might jog them
into right action by taking their pat
ronage to towns and cities that pro-
vide good streets to travel over

CONSOLATION.

When the world seems dark and gloomy,
And your feeling mighty blue,
And you think that old Dame Fortune
Has the Chinese curse on you;
It will bring you lot of comfort,
Though the pessimist may scott,
To consider some poor Teller
Whose hundred times worse off.
If your finances are droppin'
In dismal sort of way,
And you owe someone five dollars
That you can't make out to pay,
While you may think you surely
Are the most forlorn of men,
You're exactly twice as we'll off
AS the Teller that owes ten.
When your clothes are gettin' shabby
And your friends begin to think
That you've hit the steep toboggan
And you're surely on the blink:
When this summer you are wearing
The same buds you wore last fall,
Just consider well the Zulus
Who can have no clothes at all.
No use kickin' on your troubles,
You can't dodge them, and I guess
That while everybody has 'em,
Some have more and some have less.
You can just defy Dame Fortune
And her Wanted Chinese curse,
For no matter much what happens,
1t might be a whole lot worse.

GERMANY WOULD LIKE
DANISH WEST INDIES

Washington, July 26--The proposed
purchase Of the Danish West Indies
by the United States, a treaty for &C
curing which it was announced was
soon to be signed and presented to
the senate for ratification, is largely
dictated by a desire to prevent Ger
many from obtaining them.
This is the general impression pre-
vailing here among those familiar
with the situation
That the $25,0O0,00O which it is pro.
posed to pay for them will not be a
good collateral investment is we'll I'M
derstcod. For several years Denmark
has been anxious to sell the islands.
They have been a dead weight on her
hands.
Only one of the group which pos
sesses any value is St. Croix, which
has large sugar plantations, though
they are said to be in poor condition.
1t is no secret that Germany has had
an eye on the Denish islands for a
long time.
A coaling station at St. Thomas
would have been of great value to the
German navy and a consequent men,
ace to the United States in the event
of trouble with Germany
The United States is proposing to
buy the islands at this time because
it cannot afford to let any other ma
ton, especially Germany, buy them.

Thrifty and Growing.

Not so many years ago Zimmerman
was an insignificant little hamlet, and
the amount Of business transacted
there was Of small proportions. Now
it is prosperous village of probably
500 inhabitants with grain elevator
lumber yard, potato warehouses, a
good hotel, a bank, several general
stores, an automobile garage, nu-
merous handsome private residences,
hard surfaced streets and almost half
mile of fine cement sidewalks. and
best of all, there are good roads
radiating in all directions from the
village. Zimmerman is certainly thrifty
and growing. May it's prosperity in
crease.

SENATE YIELDS
TO PRESIDENT
Democrats Agree to Pass Child
Labor Measure.
SOME OPPOSITION DEVELOPS
on Calendar and Will Come Up
After Action on Army and District
of Columbia Supply Measures.

of Columbia Supply Measures.
Washington, July 26.-Yielding to an
urgent request from President Wilson,
Democrats of the senate, in caucus,
determined to pass the child labor bill
at this session Of congress.
The decision was reached after a
long debate, during which several
Southern senators, whose opposition
forced the measure out of the impera,
tive legislative program drawn up sew
eral days ago, vigorously objected to
its reinstatement.
The final determination to include it
was reached without record vote. It
will displace the shipping bill on the
senate calendar, coming up as soon as
the army and District of Columbia ap-
preparations have been passed. The
shipping measure will follow it in or
der and the revenue bill will come
next.
Majority Leader Kern outlined to
the caucus the presidents earnest re-
quest for vote on the child labor
bill before adjournment and read a
flood of kilograms from influential citi-
zens throughout the country, urging
its passage
Southern senators replied, insisting
that the caucus should stand on its
former decision postponing considera-
ton of the measure until December.
Southern Senators Protest.
They made an appeal to the caucus
for a declaration of principles that
the child labor bill should be taken
out of politics and revealed the fact
that negotiations had been made with
some of the Republican senator's after
the recent Democratic caucus with a
view to reaching an agreement for
taking up the bill next session as a
strictly nonpartisan measure.
These plans, it was asserted in the
caucus, were progressing favorably I'M
til President Wilson went to the Cap
administration leaders his emphatic
desire TOR immaculate action on child
labor legislation.
Republican senators, who had agreed
to let the bill go over, then notified
the Democrats, it was said: that they
could not participate in any agree
ment for delay
One Southern senator told his COL
leagues in the caucus that federal
child labor legislation was inevitable,
that no vote of theirs could stop it
eventually and that the party should
take advantage Of it's possible political
effect rather than to counsel delay and
then be forced to vote on the issues
by Republican senators who already
had given notice of intention to de-
mand a vote at once

5000 CATTLE IN

One of the most striking and realis- tic western scenes ever filmed was talk en by Paul A. Walsh, director of the Fox Film corporation, in producing the new western drama, Blue Blood and Red" which is to be shown at the local Fox theater tomorrow and Sat urday. Walsh brought his company to New Mexico from California in order to take an actual roundup in which more than 5000 cattle were "cut out"
 It is a typical western drama that MT. Walsh has prepared for the screen; one which abounds with thrills and is fraught with the atmos- phere of the plains, with real cow boys and cowgirls, daring riding and all sorts of thrills.
 This latest Fox film features George Walsh, brother to the director, and Doris Pawn. A red-blooded aristocrat himself is George Walsh, who is the hero in this drama. Fox film fans will remember him as the lover in The Serpcnt,'' who with the strength of a

FIVE FAVOR|TES IN
 PLAY AT PARSONS
Galaxy Of Stars Makes The New Henrietta a Classic Of Stagedom

Just at this time when stock
 speculation is a pastime indulged in
 by almost everyone. a comedy like the new Henriette which opened last night at Parsons theater and which
 will be shown again this afternoon
 and evening has an appealing inter-
 est. Add to this the names of five
 such stars as William H. Crane,
 Thomas w. Ross, Maclyn Arbuckle,
 Amelia Bingham, and Edith Talia-
 cerro, all appearing in this one
 vehicle, and the result is assured.
 When Winchell Smith and Victor
 A;apes put their heads together and
 decided to take the famous old
 comedy of Bronson Howard and
 clothe it with some new and up-to-
 date fixtures, they rendered a ser
 vice to all those patrons of the thea
 ter who love good clean comedy.
 When the producer provided five
 such character artists as the afore-
 mentioned stars he carved a place for himself in the hall of fame what though he did make it difficult for newspapermen to record such names without showing preference one way of the other.
 The truth of the matter, however, is this In this particular galaxy there is no particular star that shines more brilliantly than it's companions. They are all equally basked in 1 splendor. William H. Cranes name | is given first probably because he l starred in the old Henriette many years ago. and, having established
 the precedent of beginning with a
 mans name, the other male members l follow in order with the ladies
 finishing the list
 MT. Crane does admirable work as l Nicholas Van Alstyne, Old Nick, the
 shrewd stock broker who. after
 years at accommodating money, sud-
 denly turns his attention to the l wooing of the. Widow Opdyke. Amelia Bingham as the Widow 1 Opdyke succeeds in making the old ! man take a new interest in life in 1 following the dictates of fashion, in l making love with all the ardor and ! glow of a young bud. To complete 1 the triangle in this affair the fashion 1 a ble clergyman, the Rev. Murray l Hilton, is kept busy trying to win the 1 hand of the widow and at the same 1 time divert the attention of Old Nick ] Maclyn Arbuckle is a scream in this l character. Then to Thomas w. Ross l falls the one great bit in the play ! Bertie, old Nick's son There is only l one Bertie. His like has never been 1 reproduced since Bronson Howard ! first gave him to the stage. Whether l Stuart Robson who first presented , Bertie to the gaze of the multitude 1 was better than MT. Ross is a ques- | tiOn for the old timers to answer. 1 If he was,-well, it seems Impossible l And then to complete the character l drawing Miss Talliaferro is seen as l Agnes Gates Nicl's ward, and she ! promptly falls in love with Bertie. 1 There is a beautiful touch to every 1 thing Miss Talliaferro does, there is 1 something so sweet about her simple | little mannerisms that even poor old 1 peculiar Bertie must fall in love with ] her.
 The story of the play is just a trihe
