NEAR MRS. BEECkMAN:
About six months ago met
q man and we became very sim
cere friends. In July he went
away and sent me several cards.
Then his work required him 10
stay. He asked me to write, say
ing he would write first. I was
the recipient of one letter, which
1 answered, since he has been
gone.
AS I have not heard from him
since Che wrote that he would be
glad to hear from me any time)
would it be indiscreet Of me to
write again? We were such good
comrades; wonder if he desires
to discontinue the friendship. He
was very cordial in his letter and
there seemed nothing in it to sig
nifty his desire. e. d. L. e.
GO many things can happen to
~ carry a letter astray that I
advise you to write again, explain
ing that you had written before
and that you wondered If the let

This would be in good form, and

NAH JONGG CAUSE CHINESE
BANDITRY ASSERTS MISSIONARY

Chicago. - Nah Jongg is the game
blamed for the present corruption in
China. the Rev. Mr.. George Stems, a
missionary in China for 80 years, de-
clares.
'sThe bandits who rob at night in
China, gamble at NAL jongg by day."
he said. Government officials sit
through the night playing with officers,
employees and underlings in general.
They all lose in the end. Thus. regular
duties are neglected and when it comes
to paying their losses, they resort to
all kinds of %rascality.
''In China there is a saying that the
victim of the habit cannot longer be
trusted. I know men and women in
China who have lost their entire pos
sessions playing this game. There are
few games so contagious.

OBREGON WOULD MOVE FORCES
THROUGH BORDER STATES

Washington.--The state department
announced that the government Of
President Obregon in Mexico, had re-
quested permission for a detachment
ment of the Mexican army to pass
from NacO, Ariz., to some point in
Texas, where they will re-enter MeXi-
car territory for service against the
revolutionists. Although final de-
cision has not been made, it was said
the Washington government looked ia
vorably upon the request.
The American government has made
request for such passage of troops of
the governors of Arizona, New Mexico
and Texas, and has received favorable
from the first two, but as yet
reply from the governor of Texas
In case a favorable reply is received
from the latter, it was added. the re
quest of the Mexican. government
would be granted.

MONTANA HORSES FOR
MEXICAN GOVERNMENT

Two carloads of horses and mules,
consigned to the Mexican federal army,
were shipped from Billings via Denver
by Sandy Halpin of Roundup over the
Burlington line south. This is the SCI
ond shipment of horses for the Mexi-
can army sent by Mr.. Halpin, and the
prices paid range from S25 to $40 per
head, f. 0. b. Billings.
Mr.. Halpin trailed the herd from
Roundup to Billings, where they were
shipped to Denver and thence to the
Mexican frontier. The animals are be-
ing handled through the Colorado
Horse and Mule Commission company
of Denver, which has expressed a pref
erence for Montana horses. 1t is said
that the horses from this state are also
finding favor with the Mexican army
officials and it is believed a steady
market has opened that may soon take
all the surplus horses roaming the
Montana ranges.
While there is a big surplus of horses
in Montana, the type of animals want
ed by the army must conform to GER
tain standards, which cuts down the
available supply. The prices are con-
sidered satisfactory, and it is believed
that if a steady market is opened, the
price will probably materially increase.

covered Dead After -Four
Day Search

After four days Of constant search
by relatives and friends, the body Of
Mrs. Blazo Planishek, who disappeared
from her home in Bearcreek, was
found in the hills near the city reser-
voir, two miles from her home.
The freshly fallen snow had obliter-
ated all tracks, and although s%earchers
had several times covered this imme-
date area no trace Of her had been
discovered. Examination Of the spot
showed that Mrs. Planishek had stun
bled and fallen several times before
the final fall. She was lying face
upward when death overlook her.
At the time of her disappearance
Mrs. Planishek was apparently in her
normal mind, and friends and relatives
are at a loss to account for her mystic
cious disappearance.
For the discovery of the missing
woman, dead or alive, a reward of 5000
had been offered.
Mrs. Planishek had been a resident
of Bearcreek for II years. She was
about 30 years of age and is survived
by her husband and six children.

Tampico, Mexico.-Rebel gunboats
bombarded the city and port of Tampi
co without results, according to news
received in a telephone message from
the observer stationed at La Barra.
The message said:
Jesus M. Palma, chief of the coast
guard, at 9 o'clock a. M, sighted the
rebel %gunboats Tampico and Sarazoza,
which had prevented six ships from
entering the port. The vessels were
five tankers and the Dutch steamer
Maasdam.
"The rebel gunboats fired four shots.
The artillery stationed at the entrance
to the fort replied and forced the rebel
vessels to retire outside the range of
the guns.
''Then the rebel ships directed their
fire against the suburb of Varaderb,
located to the left of the Panuco river,
destroying several Chinese houses.
How many of the occupants of these
houses persisted is not known. An air
plane sent up to reconnoiter identified
both of the rebel ships"
Immediately after the bombardment,
James B. Stewart, the American con-
sui, informed the American embassy at
Mexico City and the state department
in Washington and requested instruc-
tons.
Some of the populace, fearful lest
the rebel ships again fire OF the town,
have left Tampico. The port is well
protected by artillery.
After the bombardment, the ships
Two bombing planes are
being held in readiness to attack the
ships if they attempt to return.
Federal reinforcements are arriving
in Tampico in considerable strength,
for the Obregon government is anxious
to rid the entire oil region of rebels
so as to make good its promise of guar
lntees for property and life.

COOLIDGE APPROVES
PLAN TO AID BANKS
cultural Town Banks to be

ehe federal reserve board and the war
finance corporation have been work

banks, particularly in North and South
Dakota and Montana, and believe that
The sources of credits arranged through
their efforts will meet requirements.
1t was said that the failure of two
banks in Sioux Falls, S. D., had pre-
cipitated the difficulties in which
many of the small institutions now
find themselves. The Sioux Falls
banks served as city correspondents
for several hundred small banks whose
capital seldom exceeded $4,000 each
and when their reserves were swept
away by failures of their city CORE
s~pondents, many of them apparently
were unable to weather the storm of
combined loss of reserves and loss of
funds on unpaid loans.

Once a typical staggering bully Of a

Owing to lack of revenue the state

There is no break in Washington in
