TRYING TO RELIEVE SITUATION.

For considerable period Of time now
efforts IN behalf of the recognition Of
the Mexican government by this coun-
try have been at a standstill. It has
been set forth what this country ex-
poets before It will be willing to extend
recognition and II Is well understood
what the reasons are for the attitude
which is taken by this country.
What seems to be an effort to get
away from the present situation is the
appeal which has been made by one Of
the leading Mexican napers to President
obregon asking that he take the Mex
leans into his confidence regarding the
matter with the view to adjusting the
situation.
That Obregon has succeeded in doing
much for Mexico must be appreciated
az home quite the same as It Is in this
country. 1t is fully understood whai
4 feeling exists in that republic against
doing anything which would seem TO be
yielding to pressure from United states
and yet there Is felt the need Of endins

EASY MARKS.

Just at the present time considerable
effort is being devoted to the closing of
bucket shops. The revelations which
have been made concerning their opera
tions have indicated that the time Is
ripe for action and that there should be
no continued federation of their conduct.
How long the wave will last is prob
lematical. 1t isn't the first one and it
can be regarded as a certainty that it
will not be the last time that it will be
necessary to indulge in similar clean
ups. 1t is because of the revelation Of
the methods employed and the losses
sustained. regardless Of the fact thai
those who participated in such deals
must have realized the chances that
they were taking. that prosecutions ara
being pushed. That there is need OF
doing all possible for the protection Of

JOB 81 YEARS AGO

New York, Sept. 30.-John d.

most joyous holiday Of the year, the
anniversary of the day he got his
first job.
The flag was waving high on the

usual, answering letters, considering
details of the benevolent work in
which he is interested, enjoying a
game of golf and an automobile ride.
Mr.. Rockefeller entertained a
few friends at luncheon and told
some of the incidents of the memora-
Bile day. He had finished his studies
IN the Cleveland High School at the
end of June, 1855. He spent the
next month and half studying
bookkee ping and other branches in
q, business college, completing a
course that usually required three
months. Then he set out to look for
work, beginning at 5 o'clock every
morning, stopping at noon for din
ner and searching again from 1 o.
clock in the afternoon till 5. 1t was
panic year and he kept up his
search six weeks before finding a
job.

he answered the question of one of
his guests. 81 never thought of OBJ
