1858 in Henry county, Illinois, Mr.. Par
rish attended the University Of Iowa,
which granted him an honorary degree
in 1911, and also studied law. He was
admitted to the bar in Iowa and prac-
ticed for several years in Wichita,
Kan, but the mining fever seized him
and he spent two years prospecting in
Arizona and New Mexico when that
region was wild and woolly. Newspa-
per work next attracted him and he
engaged in that profession In Sioux
City, Omaha and Chicago. Also at
times he was managing editor Of coun-
try papers In Nebraska and Illinois.
He now makes his residence at Ke-
vance, III.
Much Of his spare time has been de-
voted to close study Of the early his
tory Of America, and this has made
him thoroughly familiar with the
period when our nation was In the
making and in which the plots Of many
of his fascinating stories are laid. He

| City two prime actions of his stand
out First, he proclaimed that all
property belonged to the people and
invited them to help themselves 10
anything they wanted. This resulted
in the looting OF stores owned by
Mexicans and Spaniards. But the
nobs thus encouraged by ODregon
did not have the nerve to loot the
stores OF foreigners.
ODregons next offense III the eyes
of American residents of Mexico was
his open encouragement TO his soldiers
who raided the American Red Cross
hospital in the heart OF the city, up
set the cots of the patients, detiled
the whole building and perpetrated
other barbaric acts which resulted IN
the American Red Cross withdrawing
from the republic.
Pablo Gonzales, who possessed an
American wife. American relatives and
wide knowledge OF American Gus

gringo talk, punished sporadic iooterS
and rid the army as fast as possible
OF out-and-Out grafters.

by all people interested in seeing Mex

reasonable things to promote a better
understanding between Mexico and the

NATURE NEVER IN A HURRY
er, Man Will Learn to Curb His
Foolish Impotence.

We sometimes get impatient At The
slownesS of world Improvement We
see the crueltieS of a great war, cruel
ties beyond belief and we are sick at
heart TO think the world is not in a
mood overnight To abolish wal We
see ignorance leading To poverty and
Indebtedness and We wonder that ed
ucati0n is not made universal AT once.
We see preventable Sickness produc-
ing disability and suffering and We
are hopeless at the slow discrimination
of modern medical knowledge and pre-
ventive measures.
And then it is borne in on rs that
Nature never is in hurry. Out in
Colorado the Rocky mountains turn
a tumhling sea Of peaks toward the
sky. Standing on the summit III Pixies
or Long $ and looking off of that chaos
of rock one naturally thinks some
frghtfuI conyulsion.io Nature threw
up these. mighty peaks.
But that thought is wr0ng.i Geolo-
glsts have leaxTied Chat the ladntain
ranges we're. Slowly and lmpercepthly
carved eut.by the fiction of rain and
snow and frost and ice, FIRST the
highlands slowly emerged from the
ocean. Then the rains and Streams
and glaciers made gulies and left The
peaks. An observer returning at cen
fury Intervals probably would have
seen slight change. But eventually
the work was done and the mountains
made.
That Is the way Nature operates
Man can afford to curb his Impotence.
