 REPORT SHARP FIGHTING
 Field Headquarters, American Army in Mexico, Dec. 11-Reports brought to headquarters by travellers today tell of fighting between Mexi- cans of the Guerrero district and Vil- slistas. which had been in progress for the last five days. Employes on the Babricora ranch, an American-owned property, under their foreman. Max limo MarQuez, have defeated bandit bands several times recently and it is believed possible that residents of the Guerrero district. encouraged by the success of Marquez, have broadened their operations to combat both scat tered bands of bandits and Villistas.

Burglars forced their way into Weather Observer William Jennings store,. located on the railroad bridge, early this morning and disported themselves for long time from ap- pearances.

They ate candy, chewed tobacco, smoked, drank soda water and may have enjoyed the soothing music of an auto harp owned by MT. Jennings son. They carried away all the cigars in the show case worth about $10. They also took MT. Jennings favor ite pair of spectacles, those which he uses when reading his instrument, two razors and a knife.

 Hostess to the MathOntes Club.
 Mrs. N. B. Trulock entertained complimentary to the Mathontes club yesterday afternoon with a most elab- crate and perfectly appointed lunch con at the Hotel Pines. The club colors, violet and gold, were taste fully blended in the decorations of the table, which was arranged to form the letter "T,' the purple and golden Spanish iris giving effective floral coloring, while the same colors in tulle were used as streamers from the large flower filled basket, and artistic bird bowls along the center of the long table to the corners where it formed artistic bows.
 Beside each plate were found as favors golden roses tied with ribbons of violet and gold. The place cards were tiny teacups, each containing a card fortelling happy "fortune,' and these created much amusement. Throughout the luncheon, which was faultlessly served in seven courses, each accentuating the club colors, the utmost cordiality prevailed and informal toasts were happily given, all expressive of the love and appre- ho1 hxy cl,,h a for their hostess, who was it's first president, and for fifteen years there after. The first toast was proposed by Mrs. J. l. Norris, and was as fol- lows:
 In travelling round, some folks I've
 found,
 Whose names are such an error Misfits so bad they make me sad, And fill my soul with terror. For instance now, my maid, VOW, Is slatternly and silly, She's black as coal, but, bless my soul, l have to call her Lily Her mother cooks-she's short on
 looks,
 And me nearly crazy; She's big and fat-but worse than
 that
 Her given name is Daisy. My uncles boy, his pride and joy, Tells stories by the million, And yet, forsooth, they named that
 youth George Washington Bertillion. j.; And thus it goes-as history shows. From our time back to Homer, ; Some peoples names are cruel
 shames
 And horrible misnomers. But strange to say-here's one today, incest ever; strong, and not too long, Both syllables are clever. ,+ The first portends devoted friends,
 The last one augurs money, ; And warmth and cheer and lack of
 fear iss **s sY' Now doesn't that seem funny? Observe it, please, you devotees Of wisdom, wit and pleasure, Then drink toast to her, our host, In overflowing measure.

SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE.

American manufacturers and exporters who
hope to increase their commerce with South
America will be interested in Carlos A. Torn
quist's statement to the New York State Bank
ers' association that trade follows capital, not
the flag. Mr.. Tornquist, who lives in Buenos
Aires, and who holds high rank expert in
matters of commerce and finance, said that the
experience of the foreign banks in the Argen-
tine Republic had exploded the old theory and
that results obtained there show that capital is
the essential thing. He sees reason why the
United States should not be placed an
equality with Europe in respect to Argentine
finance and business if necessary notifications
of our federal banking and trade laws are made
on lines calculated to facilitate operations be-
tween the two countries. But he says there
must be closer personal relations between
Americans and his own people and that ex-
tended intercourse between the leaders of the
respective communities would do more good
than any number of conferences or publications.
There has been encouraging increase in
trade between the United States and the coun-
tries to the south, but it has been due largely
to conditions, and when peace returns
Europe will make>every effort to regain the
commerce that has been turned in other 1rec-
tlons. England and Germany have paid k>ch

A PROPER FOURTH.

Keokuk should celebrate the next Fourth IN
the sanest manner. With the war In Europe and
the near-war with Mexico in mind, it is time
for solid reflection rather than for display OF
enthusiasm given vent through the medium OF
noise and iollity. These are solemn days for
this our world. Men are dying on the field OF
battle, little ones are starving because of the
lack of sustenance and all things are not as
they should be- Let us recognize that we are in
the midst of a horrible world contortion and
that PRAYERS are now better than vociferous
oratory and senseess din.
