AFTER THE YEARS
BY Virginia Lee Hazleton

'LoVedale! Why does it haunt me?
Guess Pm getting mOOnstruck!'
Wallace Campbell, 80, thrifty, TAX
ing his first vacation in ten years, ar
rived at his destination, Willoughby
Springs, a summer resort, was nei-
Their rested nor enjoying himself as
he had anticipated. Nice people sur
rounded him, but he did not know
them, and, being naturally shy and
reticent, he was not likely to make
many acquaintance on his own mi
tiative.
made a mistake, too much wealth
and fashion here" meditated Wal
lace. " tLoYedale.' 1 just caught the
sign on a little station as the train
flashed by. Town looked like nest
of roses, and peaceful, happy people,
real nature surroundings and all that.
LOvedale- dear!" and Wallace
drifted into vivid retrospect and
fancy.
He had been always sentimental,
he had often told himself, until i'm
mersed in business cares for time
that phase OF his nature temporarily
retired. Now it had come to the front
again. When a week previous he had
arranged to take vacation, his ro-
mantle fancies sprang into new life.
The flowers, the brooks, the birds
seemed Turing him into the mysteries
Of the wildwood. A memory Of his
boyhOod days spent among just such
environment emphasized the pros
pect. The recollection of sunny
girlish face added the fascination to
the mind picture. All the years, off
and on, he had recalled the pretty
town where he was born and ever
and anon the sparkling face of Luel-
La Brice would float before his mag
nation. But he had heard that the
town had become a busy, manufac-
turing center and that Lucia had
married long since and moved away.

Like Fishing"

He decided to pack up and spend his
vacation there.
Wallace arrived at LoVedale about
dusk the next day. The little burg
did not look so inviting after all as
he passed down it's one business
street. There was a postoffice, a few
decayed frame store buildings, and
everything was crude and dilapidat-
ed. There were gardens and flowers
galore, however; pretty lake at the
edge Of the town, and woods that
showed an enticing GOODNESS and
shade.

Tuition of border problems.
The proposal Of the de facto Govern

might that the American members
would be appointed and the commits
sion be assembled at some point in the
United States at an early date.

A DEFENSE OF MOTOR CARS
Omaha Bee)


A professor over at Ames is checked
by the discovery that Iowa has more
motor cars than bathtubs. He insists
that properly the tub should come
first, numerically. at least. This will
be admitted, for reasons that need not
be set down here, but consider, also,
that the motor car is now listed among
household necessitates. Substitutes
for the bathtub are many, and easily
accessible. There's the creek, or the
horse trough, or even the washtub on
the back porch. Between Shank's
mare, Dobbin, and the motor car
there's now no resting place, and the
jump is q long one. Besides, the uses
Of the motor car are not restricted to
Saturday night. Why can't the pro-
fessor be reasonable and let the farm
err buy his gas buggy, taking chances
on his keeping clean, as his fathers
did before him? It's an age of prog
ress, and even notions as to bathing
are subject to change, while the motor
car Is distinct improvement over all
other means of transportation.

There is more Catarrh in this Sec

few years doctors pronounced it to be
ineurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced 1t a local disease

constantly failing to cure with local
treatment pronounced it incurable,

constitutional disease, and therefore

Cabrera, Mexican Minister Of Finance
would head the Mexican membership
of the commission. Neither the State
Department nor Mr.. Arrendondo, how
ever. has official information on that
point
General Carranzas reply Is not ex-
pected for several days and officials
here do not believe the commission
can begin sessions for two weeks al
least. The State Department will in
slst that the meeting place be within
the United States, as the question Is
not one of mediation, which would re-
quire neutral setting.
Viewed as Of Vital Importance
The proposal to widen the scope of
subjects to be discussed by the com
mission is viewed in Administration
circle as an extremely important as
pect of the situation 1t is through
an exchange Of ideas on the whole
Mexican problem that It is hoped
way may be found to furnish construc-
tive aid to the de facto Government
in the financial and economic prob
lens with which 1t is surrounded. II
has been suggested that American
bankers might be urged to go to the
aid of the Mexican Government under
certain conditions. Neither American
nor Mexican officials here have been
willing to discuss the possibility, how
ever, and it appears certain the Ad-
ministration has no present plan OF
that nature.
Mr.. Arrendondo issued today sum-
mary of his advices from Mexico City
saying that 10000 Carranza troops
were closing in upon Villa and his
followers in Southern chihuahua, and
that destruction of the bandit com
mand was certain. 1t is the first Off
cial Mexican admission that Villa still
Is alive. The State and War Depart
ments have no positive information on
this point and officials differ in their
opinions.
Determined on His Capture
The following is Mr.. Arrendondo's
statement:
"The Mexican Embassy has been in
formed by cable from Mexico City tnat
high military officials of the Govern
ment now assert that with a Gordon
of 10000 men closing around him and
determined on his capture, Villa at
last may truthfully be said to be in
imminent danger of elimination from
the general roblem OF Mexican politics
"The same cable covers the informa-
ton that the Department of Agricul-
ture has taken in hand the develop
ment OF the state of Guerrero as a cot
ton-roducing area. In times gone by
cotton has been planted ON a small
scale in Guerrero. and II is found that
il grows we'll and the climate Is COM
pletoly suitable 10 IL. with the view
to making Guerrero a great cotton
producing district $4,000 acres of land
have been prepared, and the Govern
ment has shipped in so tons of cotton
seed.
General Lopez de Lara, Governor of
the Federal District, has ordered all
superintendent of haciendals (plan-
tations) in the territory under his
command to distribute all lands of an
agricultural character not at present
l'pder cultivation to the neighboring
farmers in order TO assure the immedi-
ate planting of all available areas
Orders of a similar character have
been issued throughout the other
states of the republic"
