PERSH!NG STARTS
 WITHDRAWAL MOVE
American Troops Already on ~ March From Mexico,

Federal announcement that the Per shing eXpeditionary forces ill Mexico had been ordered home and was now on it's way back to American soil is made by the war department at Wash ingtOn. The announcement stated that the northward movement was already under way, bearing out reports from Mexico that Pershing's troops have been retiring for about week.
 Simultaneously with the announce ment came unofficial border reports of renewed troubles between Mexicans and American soldiers and civilians at the international boundary. While war department officials said they had re- eeived no official reports of disturb ances, it was apparent that they were grayely concerned over the possibilities With the return of Pershing the depart ment has planned to reduce the number of militia on the border, and resump- tion of guerrilla warfare along the bor- der would upset all calculations.
 Secretary Baker, announcing the re- call of Pershing, said:
 General Pershing has been ordered to bring his troops out of Mexico. The movement is to be all immediate one and is probably under way"
 1t was stated at the war department that the Pershing column amounts to 12,000 men and that its present ad- vance base at Ojo Federico is seventy five miles iron the border. 1t was csti- mated that it will take week of marching to get the entire column safe iy back to American soil.
 The column will move as rapidly as possible, and it is expected that Car ranza forces will make an effort to occupy the territory as the American troops leave. Army officers are appre hensive of trouble between Carranza and Villa troops in the territory now occupied by Americans.

SOME INTERESTING FACTS

Do you know that there are over 100000 kinds of insects in the United States, the majority of which are in furious?
 Do you know that these insects cause over billion dollars worth of damage to our crops each year, and destroy forest trees sufficient to fur nish lumber for thousands of homes :?
 Do you know that many birds often eat their weight in insects each day {?
 Do you know that but for these birds, insects would make the earth uninhabitable in seven years.
 Do you know that the game hog, the small boy with .22 rife, and the domestic cat destroy untold millions of beneficial birds each year? (Cats alone destroy at least 31,000,000.) Do you know that it is lots more fun to feed, water, and build houses for birds, than to kill them?
 Do you know that such small dam- age as some kinds of birds do to fruit can be prevented by planting mulber- ries?
 Do you know that there are only three kinds of birds that it is ordinar- fly right to kill? (These are English Sparrows, Sharp-shinned Hawks, and game birds where plentiful and in season.)
 Do you know that every boy and girl ought to know at least fifty kinds of native birds on sight? Of you do not know the birds, you can learn).

DIR. MILLER BOOSTING
 FOR FLAGS CELEBRATION

As the wide awake Secretary and man of affairs who represents Flag staff Lodge of Elks No. 499, Edwin S. Miller, congenially writes us:
 "Hello, Bill! Put our card in your paper and just proclaim to the world through the columns of the Pacific Coast Elk, that No. 499 is alive and glad to meet all corners who have their Salmon Colored Card" Of course we are somewhat "stuck up," almost a mile and quarter in the air, above you, and why shouldn't we be, for we belong to the 400 class (499.)
 We are a pretty decent sort and we are going to be better, cause we love Elkdom, and no one can do that with out growing better every little while.
 You, and all other Elks are invited, most cordially, to come up and see us, come the Fourth of July, and we will sure show you good time.
 The City Council have agreed to turn the town over to us for the cele- bration. Bring along little sack of dust (gold), not that we intend to hold up anyone, but you just natural ly cant pass along the line without wanting to drop little of it on some alluring Is spot. But honest and true---we need the money for we are going to have brand new Elk's Home and we don't want to get it on our I. O. Us"

As Johnny Saw It

The teacher had told the children the story of Washington and his hatchet, and had then shown them an engraving which pictured two small boys standing in repentant attitude explaining things to mother" The title of the picture was "The Truth tellers," and the children were asked to write a composition on it. This was little Johnny's effort:
 One day mother left me all alone in the house. Pretty soon Tommy Jones came along and asked me to go swim ming. "My mother won't let me-" "Aw, come on." So I went. When mother came back she said: "What makes your hair so wet?" I said, "Mother, can't tell lie, I went swimming" And she said: "Johnny, I am glad that you took bath. You are good boy"

.EXTERM|NATE THE FLY
 AND PROLONG HUMAN LIFE


 Kill at once every fly you can find and burn his body.
 Observers say that there are many reasons to believe there will be more flies this season than for a number of years.
 The killing of just one fly NOW means there will be billions and tril- lions less next summer.
 Clean up your own premises; see and insist that your neighbors do like wise.
 Especially clean "out-of-the-way- places" and every nook and cranny.
 Flies will not go where there is nothing to eat, and their principal diet is too filthy to mention.
 The fly has no equal as a germ "carrier;" as many as five hundred million germs have been found in and on the body of single fly.
 It is definitely known that the fly is the "carrier" of the germs of typhoid fever; it is widely believed that it is also the "carrier" of other diseases, including possibly infantile paralysis.
 The very presence of a fly is sign. al and notification that housekeeper is uncleanly and inefficient.
 Do not wait until the insects begin to poster; anticipate the annoyance.
 April, May and June are the best months to conduct an anti-fy cam paign.
 The farming and suburban districts provide ideal breeding places, and the new born flies do not remain at their birth place but migrate, using rail roads and other means of transporta- tion, to towns and cities.
 Kill flies and save lives!
 Simple Preventives
 Any odor pleasing to man is of- fensive to the fly and vice versa, and will drive them away.
 Take five cents worth of oil of lavender, mix it with the same quan- tity of water, put it in a common, glass atomizer and spray it around the rooms where flies are. In the din- ing room spray it lavishly even on the table linen. The odor is very dis agreeable to flies but refreshing to most people.
 Geranium, mignonette, heliotrope and white clover are offensive to flies. They especially dislike the odor of honeysuckle and hop blossoms.
 According to French scientist flies have intense hatred for the color blue. Rooms decorated in blue will help to keep out the flies.
 Mix together one tablespoonful of cream, one of ground black pepper and one of brown sugar. This mixture is poisonous to flies. Put in a saucer, darken the room except one window and in that set the saucer.
 To clear the house of flies, burn pyrethrum powder. This supplies the flies, but they must be SWEPT UP and BURNED.
 Receipes for Stables, Barns, Farms
 Borax is especially valuable around farms and out of doors. One pound of borax to twelve bushels of manure will be found desirable as a poison without injuring its manurial quail ties or farm stock. Scatter the borax over the manure and sprinkle with water.
 Lye, chloride of lime, or copperas (sulphate of iron) dissolved in water, crude carbolic acid, or any kind of dis infectant may be used in vaults.

Accompanying this devotion to

After two years and a half Of
struggle that has tested the

gagged, Germany, in that confidence
that she has in the science of war

of that, she forced, because she had

If you will study the history of
Germany for the last half century,
you will see that conspiracy disclos-
ing itself more and more clearly.
The doctrine preached openly in the
philosophy of that country was that
there is no international morality,
that there is no rlue by which a ma
ton may be governed except that of
self-preservation, as it is called,
which means self-exportation over
the ruins of other civilization and
other peoples and other nations.
So deftly has that conspiracy
been carried on that the mind of a
great people, even in that fifty
years, has been poisoned into the
conviction that it is their highest
duty to subordinate every consider
alton of humanity to the exaltation
and the development of military
force, as by that force they can take
from the rest of the world what is
needed to accomplish their destiny
at whatever cost of honor or princi-
pie.

Our Pensioners in EnuIand.

In his way, John Davis, who died Mt
his Bermondsey home in Blue AnchOr
Lane-an appropriate address for an
old sailOr-did much useful work on
behalf of Englishmen who, like him
self, had fought in the American Civil
war, relates a writer in the Westmin-
lister Gazette.
There are something like $50 of
these men still living in this country;
and John Davis was instrumental in
rescuing many Of them from the work
house and getting them pensions,
which the United States government
was always willing to pay if it had
known where to find the men.
On the last occasion / chatted with
the old man in his little parlor, fur
nished like a ships cabin, he told me
of a rumOr that the pensions were to
be stopped unless the men returned to
America, but he wrote later to say
that this rumOr was quite without
foundation.

ServseIfs Also AfIoat.

There isn't a chance of lodging
them any more, either on land or on
sea. The sailor boys on the U. s. S.
New York form in line between decks
and, tray In hand, select their food at
the counter of the ships servself. A
blackboard over the counter lists the
bill and in all other respects except the
presence Of the grasping cashier the
service is just like the midday lunch
back home.
The new method, which is to be in
stalled on all of the big battleships, re-
places the old system of meSSmen and
mess units, says MilestOnes. Then all
of the food for the meal was piled on
the plates at the tables by the mess
men and the job of serving the entire
unit was completed before the men
were 'piped down" to their cooling
food.
Surely hot food in the amount you
want and of the kind you want, must
be an improvement over the old mess,
but juggling a tray loaded to the gun
wales with beans and corned beef and
bread and coffee, on the rolling waves
must be something of q fine art.
