But it grips your very heartstrlngs
Til you cannot get away.
And my folks back here don't like 1t;
Think L should love home the best
For you see they've never been there.
But I'm longing for the West
Oh! L hate to hurt their feelings
When they think that 1 should stay

MEXICO CUTTING
Size OF ARMIES,
SAYS SERRANO

! TUCSON June 14.-While Europe is
talking peace and preparing for war,
Mexico is rapidly reducing her stand
ing army to 10000 men.
So said Division General Francisco
r. Serrano, former secretary of war,
under President Alvaro Obregon, upon
his arrival in Tucson, accompanied
lby a group of distinguished Mexican
civilian and military officers.
General Serrano returned to Mexico
lefty from an extensive European tour
May 26. After spending a few days
in the capital, he journeyed to his
home state, Sonora, visiting relatives
at Navojoa Huatabampo and Cajeme
The general motored from Nogales,

of Sonora; Division Gen. F. r. Man

nora Enrique Lickens, consul gener-
al of Mexico at Ell Paso; Capt. Jesus

Obregon; Lieut. Col. Elpidio Velas-
quez, commander of the garrison at
Nogales, Sonora; Quintin Rosas, col
lector of customs of Nogales, Sonora
and Luis G. Higgins, secretary Of
General Serrano.

can officials, which was travelling in

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE
MARY AND THE LAMB

Mary had a little lamb;
IA poet came along
And put the gentle creature in
A somewhat feeble song.
But though his composition was
Not worth tinker's dam.
Soon hordes and nordes of children
sang
OF Marys little lamb.
The song became a speaking, piece"
Recited on the stage,
BY prisssy little urchins of
A. very tender age.
And by and by the school to which
THE wee wool-bearer came
About the country, far and wide,
Achieved undying fame.
And so the maker of the car
That's always in the way,
who in his youth had likely read
The touching little lay,
And knowing that publicity
brings profit as a rule,
Went searching through the neigh,
borhood
And found and bought the school.
Sweet Mary long has passed away,
The poet, too, is dead,
The children no more laugh and
play,
Afar they all have fled
At teachers cold unfeelipg words
The lamb no more can quiver,
But still the gentle creature serves
To advertise flivver!
Efficiency

the flivver up to the window after a
tour and hooks the battery to the ra-

THOUGHT FINAL DAY HAD

Negro Family Hide Under Bed After
Blast Laid to Angry Husband
preston News Servicel


Ellington, N. c., Mch. I7.-"Yas,
sab, I sho thought Judgment Day had
come" exclaimed Eliza Hill, who lives
about one mile from here, Tuesday,
when Deputy Kyle Matthews arrived
at the woman's house to conduct a
probe into the dynamiting of the Hill
home about a. m. Tuesday. Deputy
Matthews stated that the Hill woman,
her daughter and two of the Hill chill
dren hid themselves under bed, think-
ing that the last day had arrived. The
Harnett deputy was successful in eff
fecting the arrest of John Hill, son-in-
law of Eliza Hill, who is charged with
attempting to blow his mother-in-law,
his estranged wife and two children
into eternity. He is held in the county
jail in default of $1,000 bond.
According to stories told Deputy
Matthews, John Hill, who parted with
his wife little over a week ago, had
become enraged over something and
sought revenge by blowing up the
home of his mother-in-law, knowing
his wife was sleeping under her
mothers roof. He is charged with
planting stick Of dynamite under the
Hill home.
The explosion tore one of the rooms
off the house and scattered the fur
nishings in every direction. Parts of
the bed and other furnishings in the
room were found in the adjacent fields.
Deputy Matthews stated that the
Hill family had been accustomed to
sleep in the room under which the
dynamite was placed, but for some
reason they had moved into another
room last night. This probably saved
them from an awful death. The fright
ened Negroes had hidden themselves
under bed and had remained there
for six solid hours until the officer as
sured them that Judgment Day had
not arrived. It took much persuasion
on the part of the Deputy to get them
to leave their hiding place
