LIFE OF MEXICAN
 RULERS DAUGHTER
Soledad Gonzales Has Ups and
 Downs
By BOB DORMAN NEA Service Writer

New York, Nov. 7.-Orphan--- foster-daughter of Madero, martyred president of MeMco-revoutionist-- and soon to be the only woman confidential presidential secretary there are few high spots in the adventurous life of Senorita soledad Gonzales, 24 year old Mexican beauty.
 Her fairy godmother must have been kept more than busy watching over "Cholita," az senorita Gonzales Is known by her friends,
 She was, born in Coahuila, and. left an orphan while still a babe, she was saved from the life of 8 peon by Francisco l. Madero. He adopted her.
 Life was happy for her during the next seven years.
 She went to school, college being a dream of the future.
 During that time the fire of the revolutions that have swept Mexico during the past 13 years, broke out.
 It placed her adopted father. Ma dero, in the presidential chair, and brought Cholita to live In historic Chapultepec Castle, the Mexican White House.
 There she witnessed the terrible 10 days of February, 1913, when the revolutionists defeated and mur- dered Madero.
 Deep within her was born Latin hatred of those responsible for the death of him who had been kind to her.
 At IS, two years later, she began to take an active part fin their pun ishment.
 She became the confidential secre- tary of General Alvaro Oregon then commander of the troops Of yenustiano Carran2a, opposing the murderers of Madero. In that ca pacity she handled the funds of the army. paying the men, buying for age. food and horses.
 She went with Obregon into the field, living In box cars or wherever she could find a place to sleep.
 A year later she resigned to be- come the private secretary of Elias Gales, then governor of Sonora.
 She followed him 10 Mexico City when he became minister of com merce and industry in the Carranza cabinet, and took the field with him in the revolution that oyerthrew Carranza.
 She continued with him when he became secretary of war. in the cabinet Of General Obregon, and has been one of Gales most active workers in the campaign that re- suited in his election to the presi- dency.
 And when Gales takes the oath of office next month, Serorita Gonzales will continue as his confidential secretary.
 And during this adventurous ca recr. was she ever scared?
 Scnorita Gonzales laughed when I asked her this.
 'Yes, very much. It was when l accidentally got left behind in MeXi- co City when the Carrancistas re- treated from the capital, before the forces of General Zapata.
 'T was captured and held by the drunken officers of Zapata as hos tagc. And you perhaps can guess

URGES CAUSES KILLED
Humane Society Official Says It Would he Humane and Profitable Acf--Indisns Voice Obectinne.

Seattle. Wash, Feb. 15.--The King County Humane society has started a campaign 10 persuade the United States government to slay 16,ooo cay uses on the Yakima Indian Reserya- ton, the other side of the Cascade mountains from here and northward from the Columbia river
 From q few culs turned out by the Indians these horses have grad ually multiplied" said Charles Nj. Farrer. executive secretary of the so- ciety. "The range is fenced with wire for the most part, and punches of the ponies have got into the lanes be- tween the fences and been run down by automobiles. Because they raid ranches. angry ranchers shoot them. The wounded struggle of to die. but often before they do so crows. mag pies and coyotes bounce upon them"
 Mfr. Farrar explained that if the ponies were done away with the gov ernment could rent the range for grazing stock, thus producing an iu- come of several thousand dollars an- nually for the Indian wards of the

Chicago Workmen Purchase A Number of New Homes

Chicago. Feb. 15.--Seventy-fiv per cent of the residences built in Chi cago during the past year are owned by overall" people, according to John M. Glenn, secretary of the Illinois Manufacturers association.
 There were 1852 residences built in Chicago in 1923" said Mir. Glenn. "Of these, 5.ss9, all costing under s1o,ooo. are owned by working peo- pie, families in which the heads of the house wear overalis and work in factories and other industrial plants
 The average wearer of overalls cannot afford to pay $50 month for rent when he has a family to support When we know that the average working man has foresight enough to be thrifty and save in order to pur- chase his home. we need have no fear for his civic and social attitude"

 Destruction in Pioneer Settlements.
 "The center of the disturbances was almost exactly in the bed of the Mississippi river. about 50 miles south of the mouth of the Ohio. The little town of Charlottesville, in what is now the southeast corner of Mis- souri, lay where the quakes were greatest. It was totally destroyed, though its inhabitants escaped both falling timbers and river waves and found refuge on a nearby hill. New Madrid, on the river a few miles to the north. suffered almost as much.
 This region has, practically no hard rocks but consists of beds of clay and sand several thousand feet deep. It is in such formations that earthquakes cause greatest damage since the relatively loose ground is easily moved great earth pillows roll. and cracks form.
 Made Mississippi Run Backward.
 The bed of the Mississippi. which has lain so quietly, to the knowledge of the past two generations, was mo- mentarily obstructed near New Madrid. Its waters flowed violently upstream and sloshed from side to side. destroying numerous boats at that river emporium. Great Assures opened in the surrounding country and jets of sand spouted out as they did in another disastrous American earthquake at Charleston, s. C, I5 years later. Seismographs did not exist in those days, but the tremors of the Great Mississippi Valley earth quake were actually felt as far north as the Canadian border and as far south as New Orleans. A hundred miles to the east boulders were shaken from mountain cliffs
 Created Numerous Lakes.
 'The earthquake of 1s11-1s12 IS not merely a dim memory. It left it's marks deep in the countryside. Reelfoot Lake, If miles long and four or more wide. in the northwest corner of Tennessee, was its greatest contribution, 4 heavily forested section sank to form this new body of water, and the gaunt of thousands of trees protrud- ing from parts of the lake tell the story 10 this day The land about the lake retains the forms of the

 Train crews that always worried over their proximity to death while in that vicinity now wave a light hand" at the barred station doors and almost deplete population of a one-time wild and woody Western burgh. The notori- ety of the town was so widespread that former Indian commissioners at Washington used to offer thanks that the Glacier National Park Indian re- servation and the Fort Peck agency were situated far enough in the west ern part of Montana to be out of harms way of Mondak's untamed night life.
 It was a typical staggering bully of town spraddled across the railway tracks, a clearing house for all the booze. vice and crime for the sur rounding country.

AMERICAS WORST
 QUAKE WAS IN MISS.
It Occurred in Heart of River
 Valley in 1911

Washington, Feb. 15.--Reports from various points in the Mississippi Valley telling of slight earthquake shocks are unusual; but they seem extraordinary. like extremes of tenn perature and other out-of-the-way weather phenomena, only because mans memory is short. says a bulle- tin from the Washington, D. C.. head quarters of the National Geographic Society.
 "One of the worlds greatest earth quakes. and certainly the most severe in America since the days of Colum- bus, occurred in the heart of the Mississippi Valley in 1911 and 1872" continues the bulletin. "Fortunately there were few towns and no bridges and dams and railroads to be de- stroyed in those days. for the pio- neers had just begun the westward push that was quickly to spread pop

Village Clerk Chas. Enke paid the
tenth Waterworks bond the other day,
which leaves the village owing but
$3.50 on our fine waterworks system
half it's original cost, and probably
not over a third of what it would cost
if installed at the present time. That
sum represents the total bonded debt
of the village-a very small sum when
it is considered that the law permits
us to bond for five per cent of our as
sessed valuation, which at present
would amount to over 100000.
Glenn Meyer informs us that he has
bought the N. A. Ferris store in this
village and will take possession next
week. Mr.. Meyer is a hard working
citizen with many friends who will do
his best to conduct the business in an
efficient manner. Mr.. Ferris during
his several years stay here has at
tracted customers from large terri
tory in this section of the county, and
has been very successful in business,
but poor health compelled him to dis
continue such combining work. Mr..
Ferris did not sell the building, which
of course will be rented by Mr. Meyer.
Mr.. Ferris will remain here until fall
at least as manager of the store, but
of course can take things little easier
than he has been doing.
