Our Duty
If we. love God with all our might,
And we for the gospel fight,
With all our minds and all our
strength.
Make us of our neighbOr think,
And If they are very cold
VIII that stop us from the goal?
And If we labor with our hands
are we breaking Gods command?
And earn our bread by sweat Of
face?
Or do we find fault with our lot,
Or have we a part of his word for

Are we more apt to criticise
And make our lives demoraIfzed.
Or do we to our savior pray
That he will keep us day by day =?
Dear brother. do you Know
That il you to your savior go
That He'll forgive you of your wrongs
And by his grace make you

And SO. dear brother, let us be true
And travel the narrow way thru
So with our burden wear a smile
And share our brothers Joy

WALTER MILLER WRITES
OF BATTLE AT JUAREz

The following interesting letter was
received by Mrs. M. NJ. Shreeves from
her son, Walter j. Miller. describing
the fight that took place at Juare2
recently.
Ell Paso, Texas. June IT, 1913.
Dear Mother and All:
Just received your most welcome
letter today and was sure glad to
hear from you and glad to hear that
you are in the best of health as this
letter finds me fine and dandy only
a little tired afterr ou scuffle.
suppose you folks have read lot
about the troops going over into Mex
leo, papers get things twisted. so
some pepers get things twisted, so
am going to write few lines telling
you just how it happened. from one
who was over there.
was on guard at the international
end of the town, when the fighting
first started The rebel troops started
to take the Federal trenches at the
east end of town at 12:15 Sunday
morning and they took them at about
1870 and kept on fighting until they
got into the center of Juarez. The
Federal troops were driven back to
the fort until daylight and then they
came out and drove the Villa forces
out of the town again.
There was no more fighting until
$3.50 P. NJ Sunday. The rebels start
ed the attack in the same place and
fought up into the middle of the town
again, when the federal troops rallied
again and drove them out at SIX
O'Clock. In the meantime we were
lined up along this side ready for
action any minute and the bullets
were flying pretty thick. There were
a couple of our boys killed and several
of them wounded and in town there
were several civilians killed.
The fighting lasted until 1:3O when
our troops were ordered TO cross the
border and drive the rebels out. We
crossed the bridge with two armored
cars in the lead and about the time
we got in the middle of the town
the SIND F. A. opened up barrage
for us at $500 yards to dislodge the
had their headquarters. They fired
about fifty rounds point 6 shraphel
shell and they sure did get out of
there
We sighted them in a wheatfield
and opened fire on them, which tlrey
returned at first and gradually died
down, when they saw We would not
run like the federal troops did. We
were over there about 10 hours al
together, captured few prisoners
and came back about 1O:3O Monday
The worst trouble was from the
snipers that took up a position back
of our lines in FL Paso. They started
to pick our boys off pretty lively until
the command was given to clear the
house and believe me the boys sure
did clean them up.
Things are pretty quiet now. only
the federals don't seem to like It be-
cause we went over. 1t sure was a
pitiful sight to see the poor old wom-
en- and children come across half
dressed and with what belongings
they could carry on their backs We
gave them shelter until the fight was
over and then sent them back
We captured ten federal soldiers
that came across just as the first
shots were fired. Some army eh.
AS this is about the most important
facts of the battle, will close. With
love and kisses.
Your loving son.

Woman Tells How
Terrible Suffering
Was Relieved
What Planters Benedicta Did for
Mrs. Churchman.

Mrs. Bertha Churchman of go ST
Medar street, Mobile, Ala, in let
ter to the Planter Medicine Co., says:
"For four months I suffered from
irregularities. I had bearing-down
pains and cramps so badly that I
didn't know what to do. Benedicta
has done me a world of good. l
think it wonderful"
Hundreds of other women from all
parts of America have voluntarily
written of the wonderful way in
which Planters Benedicta has
brought back health, strength and
happiness after physicians and other
remedies had failed to bring them re-
lief from weakness and suffering.
Planters Benedicta contains moth
ing injurious, is not habit-formlng
and acts as a tonic, building up and
strengthening the nervous system
and overcoming sex weaknesses
which cause so much suffering.
If you are weak, nervous, de-
spondent, subject to the "blues,' If,
ritable and simply force yourself
along from day to day, don't let any
thing prevent you from giving Paint
er's Benedicta fair trial.
Benedicta is sold and recommend

Secretary MACPHERSON Preparing

Government Shelves Present Measure
Because 1t Is Unacceptable

London, July 9.-The first authori

MACPHERSON declared the govern

Questioned with regard to the eff

BULLS IN THE LEGISLATURE

The pure-bred bull campaign which
is being conducted in Wisconsin with
such splendid success has reached the
ly turned one session into a testimony
and several members from the COW
counties told what the pure-bred bull
had done for them.
One man said II never heard of a
man after having a pure-bred bull who
didn't feel like kicking himself for not
having one sooner Another member
suggested that law which would elm
mate the scrub bull from the state
might be good thing. Other members
gave evidence of the pure-bred bulls
worth. They all agreed that the use OF
y pure-bred sire is essential to success
with live stock.
An individual legislators opinion on
the value of good bulls is not any bet
ter than the opinion of private citizen
who had proved, in his own herd, the
value of pure blood. But a unanimous
opinion would be valuable. The plan
would be a radical one, yet the horse

for permanent growth when the scrub
stallion was legislated against.
The state legislature of Wisconsin
can we'll afford to discuss the question
in general assembly. SO can oUher
state legislatures, for there is no ques-
ton that is of more vital Importance
and that effects the permanent agricll-
tural well-being of any state than does
the question of it's live stock.
We believe that in states like Wis
consin where pure-bred dairy bulls are
available, legislative action for the
elimination of the scrub bull would be
an effective measure and tremendous
impetus would be given the dairy in
dustry through such legislation.-Kim-
balls Dairy Farmer.
