CORK TOYS.

II you will save the cork from every empty bottle before it is thrown out or disposed of to the ragman, you will soon have enough shapes and sizes to provide an afternoons fun or toymaking. If you do not want to wait until enough corks have accuI muiated by this means, you can get what you will need at drug store.
 In addition to corks, you must have some cardboard, some worsted, beads. toothpicks, burnt matches, pins and glue. For cutting the corks use al very sharp knife.

Taupe-CoIored Hats,

Taupe-colored straw turbans are cropping out in multitudes, these days. The special providence that watches over headgear has evidently decided that taupe hats shall be the thing this spring. The hats are in turban or small sailor shapes, excessively chic in line and boise, and there is only a hint of trimming-a smart quill, plaited ribbon cocade or a bead or leaf ornament Millinery rib. bons are being doubled over strips of a resilient stiffenirg material, non. crushable and not affected by the dampness, and the new hat bows and cocades are especially crisp and cor rect thereby.

Temper of Horses.

While breeding for size and uni formity of farm horses, don't neglect to give proper attention to the ter.- perament of the sires and dams. Un- desirable qualities in this respect are just as much to be avoided as those of undersize and :ll-shape.

To Our Voters

There is an old saying. That when
burden grows onerous, their bearers are
forced to consider methods to tighten
their burdens"
There is a strong current of feeling in
this county, that the above applies very
we'll to us, and a change in county admin
istration. might well be considered a
change is mighty good for the stomach,
and would no doubt be benifioal to US
burden bearers.
Now soon, we will be asked to name
the officials, who shall fill our offices for
two and four years. and by that vote
show whether we are fully satisfied with
the acts and decisions of the present Of
fioals, now. would ask, have we inteli-
gently and without party prejudice weigh
ed the acts and their effects upon us
Of our present officials during the last
2 and years? So. that we with good
sound reason vote either for or against
them. Have so made this our study that
we can inteligently exercise the right OF
the franchise of citizenship from real
political reasons as we'll as complete
knowledge of conditions. or are we just
like to many haphazard voters without
any definite conception of the men and
policies we support. or facts and figures
relating to the platform we intend to
support.
| If asked why we vote as we do, can
we reply. that we vote as we do from q
full understanding of the happenings of
the last 2 and 4 years, as well as of the
probabilities of the coming 2 and 4 years,
for elements which have never before en-
tered into American calculations confront
us during the next years, and will be
decided. muohly according to the wisdom
with which we choose the men whose
wills and purposes control the decision
at Washington.
| Do we thiak as hard and clearly for
our country's common business. as we
do about our private business. one is at
stake Just as much as the other. We
cannot suffer as people and prosper as
individuals.
II we don't take time to learn what is
best for our country and vote it, we de-
served the worst that can happen to
our interests.

zens voting as dictated by their bosses

MAY ENFORCE NEW
EMBARGO ON ARMS
One Will Be Place If Carranza In.
sists On Withdrawal of
Troops.

WASHINGTON, May 3.-If Car.
rama insists upon the immediate
withdrawal of American forces from
| Mexico the United States will reply
with an embargo on all shipments of
arms across the border.
This was the decision which Presi-
dent Wilson and his cabinet reached
yesterday following the repeated de-
mands for withdrawal made through
Gen. Oregon and Elise Arredonde,
the Washington agent of the de facto
government.
The first step toward the enforce
ment of the new plan was taken
when Secretary of War Baker or
| dered Gen. Funston TO see that no
shipments or arms and munitions
were sent across the border clandes-
timely.
Immediately after President Wilson
decided to recognize the new Mexican
government represented by the Car
rama regime he ordered an embargo
on the shipment of all arms except
those which were destined for the
agents of the defacto government.
The order sent out by the war de-
partment will result in a : general
tightening up along the border so
that it will be relatively easy for this
government to ascertain the points
through which shipments have been
made clandestinely if President Will
son decides upon a general embargo.
Administration officials declared
the general Mexican situation to be
unchanged in any respect. Secretary
Baker and later that Gen. Funston's
original orders to pursue the Column
bus raiders into Mexico still stood.
as did the original purpose of the
expedition.
From Mexican sources it was
learned that, based upon the imme-
date withdrawal of the American
troops. Gen. Carranza has offered to
place an active army of $4,000 men in
Northern Mexico. The Offer was ac-
companied by assurances, it is said.
that more than half of this force
would be so placed as to guarantee
border towns from future bandit
raids. while the remainder would be
used in a vigorous pursuit f bandits.
Officials still maintained silence to-
day as to the nature of the new in
structions to Gen. Scott. It is be-
lieved, however. that he was author
lied to make it clear to Obregon that,
while no proposal for immediate with
drawal would be entertained the
Washington government would well
come a demonstration of the intention
and ability of the defacto govern
ment to carry out its programme
There is reason to believe that the
American officers now have authori-
ty to make concessions in the way of
| limiting the zone in which Gen.
Pershing's forces will operate until a
demonstration has been made. Such
questions as that of using Mexican
railways to supply the American
troops also may be waived, it is I'M
| derstood, if they embarrass the de
facto government
