ROYAL ARCH MASONS
HAVE BIG FISH FRY

Keystone Chanter, No. ITO, r, A.
NJ, at their regular convocation ct
the Hall, Tuesday evening, held an
old-fashioned fish fry. A SIS pound
Rough River cat was procured for the
occasion, which was, together with
the coffee etc, prepared by Harve
Sheffield and Rowan Holbrook.
These two culinary experts were
CARRIED not with the regulation Ma
sonic aprons. though both are eligi-
BILE to don them, but with long, flow
ing aprons aptly setting them off,
marking them as cheffs, bosses of the
department in which hot stove, sill
ing pans of grease, heaps of juicy cat
fish and a pot of coffee, the aroma
from which could be detected a block
away, were things which they, and
they alone, know best how to manipu-
late. The manner in which the boys
fell-to, and devoured those huge,
brown chunks of fish was proof posi-
tive that Holbrook and Sheffield did
their duty perfectly
Circuit Judge r. w. Slack managed
to locate the feeding place, in some
manner, although all of the boys alb
solutely deny having given the Judge
any sort of tip as to time or location.
Some of those present suggested
that some sort of silencer for fish and
coffee odor be procured, in the event
the occasion happens to be repeated

BOY DISAPPEARS IN
ABSENCE OF PARENTS
Whereabouts OF Lad OF 13 Is I'm
known To Family

Kell, the 13-year old son of Prof.
and Mrs. w. r. Carson, of near Beda,
in the absence of his parents, left
home last Saturday, without leaving
any clue as to his intended destination
or reason for hts departure. Mr.. and
Mrs. Carson spent the day in Hartford
and knew nothing of the boys disap-
pearance until they reached home
that afternoon.
The lad on leaving, secured his
best suit of clothes, being dressed in
suit of overalls, these being the
sum-total of his wearing apparel. He
came to Hartford, riding portion of
the distance in a neighbours wagon,
alighting at the bridge and so far
as known, was not seen by anyone
here. 1t is reported that he was
seen at Ellmitch, probably the next
day, since when nothing has been
heard of him.
No reason, known to the family,
can he assigned for the hov's leaving
home. He was in good health and
apparently perfectly satisfied and
contented, having at no time init
mated or expressed any desire or no
ton of leaving his home, ard Moth
ing had transpired between the boy
and parents to give him any excuse
for assuming a desire to leave his
home.
The lad is rather large for his age,
10; weighs 1876 pounds, is feet 5
inches tall; complexion light; blue
eyes; hair slightly inclined to curl
and has thick lips. Wore a green
cap and in all probability is wearing
overalls or blue serge suit.
Any information leading to his To-
cation will be highly appreciated by
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. w. +. Car

special missions to settle internal
troubles. Carranza, however, early
in April, endeavored to persuade De
la Huerta to kill off the Obrego
boom in Sonora and in Mexico gen.
orally. De. la Huerta resisted and
Ca rama troops under Manuel Die
guez invaded Sonora to interfere
and then the revolution broke out.
Sonora achieved its independence and
other states of Mexico followed in
rapid succession.
The revolutionists held meeting
at Aqua Prieta about April 8, declar-
ed De. la Huerta provisional presi-
dent and agreed on some Of the
necessary members of the cabinet for
an emergency government.
According to the present plan Of
the revolution the selection of De La
Huerta will be ratified by the gov
errors of the states of Mexico, and
he will be Endorsed as provisional
president ad interim. The next step
will be the convocation. of the con-
gress which will endorse De La Huer-
ia as provisional president in order
that the constitutional continuity of
the succession may be preserved and
prevent the injection Of any objec-
tions by outside powers as to the
legality of the new regime. Fol-
lowing this the elections will be or
dered for July of this year and then
a constitutional convention will be
called to revise the Carranza consti-
tuition of 1917.
SO far the most prominent candi-
dates are General Obregon and Gen.
eral Pablo Gonzales. The fact that
these two generals who, with Gen,
Benjamin Hill, dominate the country
with large military forces, have sub
ordlnated themselves to the new civil
government, points to peaceful cleo
tion without any further. coup d'etat.

The State Department had a dis
patch from Noales which apparently
asked for the recognition of Sonora,
according to the official understand
ing. The later developments. how
ever. OF the functioning of the pro-
visional government showed . that
such request would now be not
for the recognition of Sonora but for
the new government of the whole Of

HARTFORD HIGH
SCHOOL CLOSES
Year Marked By Success,
Commencement Very
Interesting

The Hartford Graded and High
School was brought to a final close
yesterday, marked by exercises last
night, graduating one of the largest
classes of recent years, 10 receiving
diplomas.
Powell Tichenor, whose subject
was LAUNCHED, Where, shall we
Anchor" delivered the class address,
while Miss Martha Carolyn Pate, was
the Valedictorian, discussing the sub
ject of "The American Girls Inherit
ance." Each of the class represen-
tatves acquitted themselves with pro-
nounced credit, at the same time do
ing honor to the class of 1920.
DR.. ]. j. Tigert, of the Kentucky
State University, Lexington, deliv-
cred the address, which was able and
enjoyed by the large gathering, fill
ing the auditorium of the Methodist
Church.
The scholarship medal was award
ed to Hubert Crowder, member OF
the Senior Glass. Four students were
so nearly together on their grades
that it was necessary to extend their
averages to fractions as small as one
hundredth. The winner made an av-
erage of 94.95;l Miss Xouatt Rhoads,
also a member of the Senior class re-
ceived 94.92; Dick Williamson, a
Freshman, made 94.6 and Luther,
Turner drew 94S. The latter was
also a Freshman.
Never before, perhaps, has that
number of students finished with such
splendid grades and so nearly to-
gether.
The baccalaureate sermon was de-
livered Sunday, at the Methodist
Church, by Dr. W. N. Briney, pastor
of the Broadway Christian Church,
Louisville. DR.. Briney had for his
subject, Character building" A
real sermon of strength was deliver
ed in a pleasing manner, evidencing
the fact that DR.. Briney is man Of
deep thought with strong convictions
that character and station worth
while is builded, not inherited; that
each individual is the architect of his
own edifice, if any is to stand after
his departure.
The play, Safety First" by the
Junior Glass, delivered Monday night
was to capacity house, well render
ed and immensely enjoyed by all.
Tuesday night the Senior Glass
presented "And Home Came Ted"
which was likewise played before an
audience taxing to the utmost the
capacity of the large auditorium, and
like the night before, rendering Of
the popular play did full credit to
both class and instructors.
Wednesday night was designated
as Glass night, and the program rem
dered was highly creditable to the
Students and to the School. Powell

the welcome and farewell address,.

HANDS BOUND BY
WILSON, HE SAYS
Chamberlain Says Self-Respect Fore
ed Him To Quit MeM-
can Post

Washington, May 1O--Tranklin X
Lane, former secretary of the in
terror, and George Agnew Chamber
lain, former consul general in Mex
leo, testified today before the Senate
committee investigating Mexican af-
fairs.
Mr.. Lane declared American oil
rights in Mexico we're as we'll founded
in justice and deserved as much pro-
lection as If they had been establish
ed in Pennsylvania or California,
while Mr.. Chamberlain declared the
attitude Of the United States toward
Mexico "has been one of accommodating
shame for seven years"
Mexican commercial and official
life was Sustained with graft from
the lowest tally clerk to the highesL
cabinet officer" Mr.. Chamberlain
said, and only policy of economic
control of the country by the United
States would re-establish stability.
Handicapped BY WILSON,"
Referring to his resignation, Cham
berlain asserted that "a self-respect-
ing man couldn't continue to take the
money of the United States for hope
less, purposeless service after he
knew the things / was forced to
learn" THE President" he said,
cut the ground out from under the
feet of every diplomatic and COM
mercial agent the United States had
in Mexico by repeated statements that
force would never be used in the
country
1.-The greatest danger now" he
added, sis that the United States will
be led to treat in some fashion with
new head Of affairs in Mexico be-
fore we are really decided to deal
with the evils. The first step in prop
err policy is that embarked on by the
Senate in refusing to confirm the
nomination of another ambassador to
that country.
1--WE ought to follow that up. Mex
ico-because 1t hasn't been able to
borrow CENTS in sound financial
situation internationally. 1t is the
most wealthy country in natural re-
sources l have ever visited, which
makes the tragedy of its last 100
years under self-determination more
glaring. We should offer loan suf-
fcient to put its finances in shape,
bound up with treaty which would
give us direct supervision of its eco
nomic affairs. The second step
should be to withdraw the present
recognition unless that was accepted.
Still failing acceptance, the third step
should be embargo; the fourth, COM
mercial blockade; the fifth, naval
demonstration. Lastly, military oc-
cupancy.
Events are moving fast there now,
but the essential difficulties will re-
main under any Mexican administra-
ton likely to come into power"
