MEXICO CITY, Nov. 26. Notwith standing official statements that Gen. Alvaro Obregon, president-elect of Mexico, is not seriously i'll, rumors are prevalent here that ne is more than slightly indisposed. In some quarters the continued absence of the general from his downtown office. where he daily, is taken as giving credence to the reports.
 General Obregon today cancelled sew eraI engagements and simultaneously announcement was made that a ban quet planned tomorrow in hs honor by the Federation of Chambers of Com merce of Mexico and the United States had been postponed until Monday.
 Several weeks ago the general was threatened with pneumonia and his continued indisposition is thought to be a consequence of that attack.
 Fernando Torre Blanca, private sec retary to General Obregon, said: Gen eral Obregon is quite we'll
 There is no indication that the plans for the inauguration have been al- tered because of the state of health of the president elect or that of Provis- ! ional President de la Huerta, who is now daily at the national palace fol | lowing a threatened attack of appen- dicitis.
 The inaugural period, which vii commence December 1, promises to be the most festive in years. The govern ment has taken over two of the prin- cipal hotels here for the entertainment
 of visiting American officials. Accord 1 ing to the latest announcement of th' foreign office, the American visitor will include thirteen governors o Texas Arizona New Mexico. Colorado California, Alabama, Kansas, Nortl Dakota, Wyoming. Missouri, Indiana Mississippi and Arkansas.
 The Latin American countries als are to be represented.
 Governors Oliver H. Shoup of Colo rado and Robert D. Carey of Wyomini declined tho invitation to attend tn Mexican inaugural because of the i'm Ipending' governors conference. Gov ernor Shoup designated a representa- tive to attend.

LORD CECIL SAYS U. $. BEST NATION
 TO STOP ARMENIA
 DRIVE IF TURKS
South African Delegate Tells Correspondent $20,- 100000 Would Put Arme- nia On Her Feet
Republican A. p. Leased Wirsl

GENEVA, Nov. 26-That the United States would be the best nation to accept the mandate for Armenia is the opinion or Lord Ropert CeciI, who is acting as one of South Africa's dele- gates to the league of nations assem- ply, as expressed to the American newspaper correspondents tonight The United States. he added. probably would have more influence with Mustapha Kemal Pasha, the Turkish nationalist leader who is conducting campaign against the Armenians, than any other nation.
 Lord Robert said s2o.ooo.Ooo would supply the necessary military assist ance to put Armenia on her feet
 T have been advised by very good opinion he declared, that good deal could be done to save Armenia with the expediture of that amount We have appealed to many states and or ganizations. but so far we have had nothing but suggestions.
 s1 think the United States would be the best country to solve the Ar menian question inasmuch as that country would have the most infiuence with Mustapha Kemal Pasha- Twenty million dollars would enable us to or ganize the military expedition neces- sary to establish Armenian independ- ence. The money could be regarded as loan to the Armenian state which
 would be repaid if the Armenian eco~ homie position were established While refusing to name the number of troops necessary. Lord Robert stated
 1t would be quite easy to obtain voi- unteer force composed of Armenians 1 and the antionals of neighborfng states
 "The Armenian question:" he ex- plained, resolves itself largely into whether there, Is any government or people in the world caring enough
 about Armenia to furnish the necessary money for the work"
 The South African delegate avoided the question of a possible revision oi the Turkish treaty as a means of serv- ing Armenia He believed that the
 subject was being taken up by the
 assembly After declaring that the
 work of the assembly had been extra ordinarily successful. Lord Robert con- tinued:
 : No one foresaw that the assembly would become a corporate body witt real life in 1t. The assembly. above all has a genuine belief in it's own utility : and regards itselz and rightly so. as tn. 3 supreme international authority. '1 think the assembly will do some : thing of great value. It will accep 1. the international court of justice: vii l. pass on the admission of members ans hope it will take a large and gener
 ous view of that subject-and it vii review the present international sit
 uation and the work of the council . Not the least encouraging symptom i
 that the assembly is taking things yer,
 seriously"
 e Lord Robert expressed the hope tha . there would be one woman membe : of each delegation but said. this wa 2 not possible for the first sessions. Fl r indicated that the assembly would mak . no change in the duration of the man n dates, saying:
 2 Mandates must be. in effect. trials s and the .mandatories should not b
 changed unless the trial fails"

"Advertising Means
 Progress "-Selfridge

Let a man imagine his morn. ing paper-which without adver- tising would cost him necessarily very much more than it now does-as containing only the news. Let him think of the ab- sence of the brightness and good cheer of the many posters drawn by known artists and beau tifully executed, which often do so much to brighten an other wise unattractive wall. Let him imagine the world without that push and go which we'll done advertising gives to that great broad profession called business, and he will acknow- ledge-no matter how prejudiced

 developed science is a wonderful factor in the worlds progress. .-- Gordon Sehridge to the organ | izers of the International Adver- tising Exhibition.

Taxpayers hold the fate Of Rnoenlx in their hands today. They will decide or not the city shall iextend and improve its water system, develop the sewer system, enlarge its paving program, purchase and improve parks and playgrounds, build new fire sta- tions and purchase additional fire ap- paratus, construct a state armory within the city limits, and build an addition to the present city hall. Each Of these proposed city improvements is designated on the ballot as a sepa- rate bond issue.
 These propositions as they appear upon the ballot and the sums called for follow:
 No. 1-For purchasing and in
 staIling extensions and improve
 ments to the water distributing
 system, $45o 900.
 No. 2-For purchasing, con
 structing and installing extensions
 to the sewer system, $40, 900.
 No. 3-For purchasing and ina-
 proving parks and pIaygrounds,
 No. 4-For purchasing, con
 structng and Installing new fire
 stations and fire apparatus,
 $65,0o0.
 No. 5-For providing funds for
 
 alleys, $45, 900.
 No. 6--For improving and con- structing an addition to the city hall, Sf5o,o0o.
 No. 7-For constructina . state
 armory here, S40,0o0. All Improvements Needed Because of the many new homes anC the addition of large tracts of sub divisions to the city of Phoenix the extension and improvement of the city water system is imperative at this time. according to City Manager 1 Thompson.
 City planners generally estimate ont acre for park and playground pur- poses to every 100 inhabitants of 2 1 city. Under this plan Phoenix shoult have 290 acres for recreation whereai l at the present it has less than Il acres. As land values here are con tinually advancing the city comnais I sioners deem 1t advisable to purchas 1 sufficient for park and playgrounl l purposes as soon as possible. With the growth of every city tn demands upon it's fire department in creases and Phoenix Is no exception New stations and additional fire fight ing apparatus is necessary at once. AS street paving adds to the valu l of city property as well as to tn general beauty of the city it is ex pected that every taxpayer will vot in favor of this proposition. Although S150.000 is asked for i'm proyements and additions to the cit . hall. s125.000 of this sum will be ex pended in erecting a new four stor building fronting on Jefferson stree This building will provide headquar ters for the police department, a emergency hospital and operatin room and will house the city ambu : lance and police patrol on the grour : floor. City offices will occupy th second and third floors and moder- sanitary jail, the fourth floor. TT l building will be so constructed that : later deemed advisable it may be cor
 verted into a modern busine: l building.

HOUSE BUYING
REEVES CORN

Chicago, May 10.--Notwithstand-
Ing that the corn market today
opened somewhat easier, strength
soon developed as a result Of COM
mission house buying. A big adj
vance in Canadian wheat prices
seemed to be more or less respon-
sible for renewed bullish sentiment
regarding corn. Trade, however,
was not large.
Opening prices, which ranged
from &c decline to 1sc advance
with July LII to Liz and Sep
TENDER 1.60% to 1.61A were fol-
lowed by moderate general sag
and then by decided upturns all
around.
Oats swayed with corn. After
opening 1sc to ssc lower, includ-
ing july at 9lAc to 917sc, the mar
ket scored quick rally.
Provisions were dull and weak.
The market lacked any aggressive
support
Trouble in obtaining corn here
available for immediate use led
subsequently to further pronounced
gains, and so likewise did renewed
talk Of an Argentine embargo on
wheat. The close was firm. 1 &c to
43ec net higher, with July s1.747s
to H.75h, and September, s1.62B

CHILDREN WILL
NOT COMPLY TO
STATE RULINGS
Sfvis Youngsters and Teachers
Leave School Rather Than Be
Vaccinated.

What amounts to a revolt against
the authority Of the state to COM
pei vaccination exists in the Silvis
school. Smallpox Is prevalent in
the village and last week every
child in school was ordered vacci-
mated.
Some of the children and even
members Of the faculty fatty re-
fused to comply with the order. OF
necessity the Silvis schools have
been closed and will remain closed
all week in all probability unless
the situation is changed following
a meeting Of the school officials to-
night. 1t was not stated today
what action the authorities would
take to compel compliance to the
state ruling. but it will be drastic
no doubt as DR.. c. c. Windner OF
the state board of health says the
law must be complied to ITO the let,
ter"
DR.. Windner said: state prose.
cution means arrest under state
warrant grand jury action, and con
viction means a fine Of 5000. six
months Jail sentence or both. Ply
sicians who fail to report cases Of
the disease or suspected cases will
be dealt with severely"
The mutiny started following
action taken by the state authori-
ties ordering the vaccination Of al
unvaccinated children in the
schools as well as men in the fac
tories. The state board of health
Representatives reviewed the situa.
ton with the city authorities ant
after a long conference Saturday
afternoon in the Office of Mayor G
F. Johnson, asserted that an i'm.
mediate change in program must bt
wrought or the state would be
forced to invoke such prohibitive
orders that the city will be ser
iously handicapped. Factory mer
are given one week to become in
oculated. Should case be discov
cred in the factory at the end o.
this time every man who has beer
exposed must be vaccinated if h
has not already been since ever.
exposure is regarded as a potentia
case. His failure to become vacci
mated will mean that he is in dan
ger at any time of being thrown ou
of work for a period of 20 day:
should a case of the disease breal
out in the section of the factory
where he is working.

classes and work of organization
for the 10-month term will be well

for the first time passed the 100
mark during the present semester.
One of the new courses for next
year will be appreciation of music,

similar line. The extension of
the musical work is through the
