MEXICO is COMING BACK
Saved From Conquest, 1t Is Working
Out Its Own Destiny.

Encouraging news continues to
of President Wilson's critics grow
tanner all the while. Mexico has seen
much misfortune, has borne many
trials, has experienced many tragedies,
but there is buOyancy to the present
situation that gives cheer to friends
Of that long-suffering republic
Americans, coming from that cOun-
try, bring optimistic assurances. They
declare that there is much better gov
ernment there than for many years,
that Carranza money is increasing in
value, that business is picking up and
that law is being respected.
The New York Evening Sun, a Re
publican newspaper which usually
criticises everything President Will
son does, is compelled to recognize the
Texas, by William G. Shepherd, war
correspondent of the United Press,
who has been one of the keeneSt OBJ
servers of conditions both in Europe
and Mexico. Mr.. Shepherd, back from
a long service abroad, was sent re-
Gently to the Mexican border. After
careful survey he reported cOnClu.
sions which the Sun displays under
the heading: Mexico Coming Back !;
Business Grows Brisk-Confdence in
Carranza Increases and Things Look
Up" In part Mr.. Shepherd says:
Mexico is coming back. It's not
dead rubber nation; it's got a
bounce in it. A summary of the
news from the heart of Mexico,
gathered in the last three weeks
along the border from Americans
incoming from Mexico, shows be-
yond doubt that conditions are
improving, confidence in Carranza
is growing, the situation is gain
ing buoyancy, Carranza money is
gaining in value and business is
picking uD.

that it would injure President vii.
sons prestige?
IN a previous letter l took occa-
sion to mention this fake movie. "
and to warn the readers of this pa.
per against it.
since then the big New York pa
pers have taken up the fight, and as
a result it is probable that if will
never be put on the road.
1t would appear that the Repub.
llcan national committee paid the
man who staged the picture $4,000
lor his vile work He leased an old
race track near New York and hired
gang of men and women to asaumo
the roles of Catholic nunc. Mexican
bandits and American miners.
In the picture the nuns and tbe
miners were pursued by the bandits
subjected to unmentionable indigni-
tes and finally most of them were
killed.
The Republican committee had
planned on, sending this picture thru
the country and insisting that it had
been made in Mexico.
premature publication of the de-
tails spoiled the scheme and now
every one connected with the diaboI-
cal conspiracy is endeavoring to shift
the responsibility. The New York
World and other papers, however,
have secured documentary evidence
that the Republican national com
mlttee not only furnished the money
to defray the expense of making the
movie but had prepared advertis-
ing, matter to herald the coming of
the big fake.
Verify, the opponents of Woodrow
wilson are in tight place!

 First in Defamation Contest
AT TEACHERS CONVENTION
Local Pupils Make a Decided Hit at N' Gathering of Schoolma rms in New Haven Yesterday-Sons of Veterans Ball a Success-BriefS.

That the local schools are on a par with any in the state was demon strated at the annual convention of the teachers in schools which re- ceive state aid, at New Haven yester- day. Too much credit can not be given the members of the faculties or the children for the work done. The morning session consisted of a large amount of routine business and the afternoon was given over to declama- tion contests and dancing. The town of Berlin captured the first and sec ond places in the Reclamation con- test. Miss Josephine Orsie was awarded first place, reciting "HoW Did You Die?" and Miss Mildred Kalen, second place, with a recitation of "The Wind and the Moon.' The third place was given to Albert Turn CT Of Branford, who recited An American Boy When interviewed this morning, members of the local school teaching force modestly denied their training was responsible and said that Ell the credit of the excellent showing should be given to the children, who worked hard for the convention. The judges were Miss Catherine Harty, 3u- perVisor of training, and Miss Leary Of the New Haven Normal school fac ulty and Supervisor Allen of the stato educational department,
 Following there was a forty minute exposition of folk dancing by chil- Gren of the KensingtOn Grammar school. It was stated in this column Thursday that if the children did as we'll at the convention as they did on that morning, their efforts would would be the recipients of much ap- plause Needless to say they did, and many favorable comments were heard from those attending. The applause, which followed their dancing, was deafening. Folk dances of various countries were given in costume. Miss Jita Cowles and Miss Rose Kiniry danced the Highland fling and the entire squad participated in tho Hop Nur Ainka, German Hopping dance Swedish Clap and the Danish dance of greeting. This part of the program was in charge of Miss Adele Murray, who trained the children.
 Everyone is pleased Wi'@ tho re- suit of the dancing and tn" consensus Is the town Is proud Of it's children Those who made the trip were: Lit2 Cowles, Rose Kiniry Helen Nelson Ruth Graham, Lena Padelh. GrCt- chen Larson Stella Colon. Aida Mar tino, Cathryn Gulong, Margaret Corr Francis Ctriko, Josephine Orsie, Mar Ian Hall and Mildred Kalen.

 Repairs at Pumping Plant.
 Prior to discontinuing for the sum- mer the water supply obtained from the reservoir, the water company is having repairs made at it's pumping plant in Mountain View
 While the reservoir water at no time is entirely satisfactory it's use during the warm weather always evokes innumerable complaints and to avoid these and at the same time give better service the company gets it's summer supply from series of wells. This year these will be put in operation about June 1 or earlier If the conditions necessitate shutting off the reservoir supply.
 Water is now so high in the wells that it will require steady pumping to force it through the pipes.
