THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPEK _ (Established 1873) FULL DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS Full diplomatic relations with Mexico have been resumed by the United States. The event, important as it was, passed by without the notice that might be expected. Not only will | the American people find satisfaction in the resumption, but the manner in which it was accomplished lends belief that | it may be lasting. President Coolidge sent as the United States Ambassador Charles B. Warren, who had done much to improve the re- i of the United States and Japan, while serving as ador in that foreign land. Mr. Warren, tactful and forceful, emph sd that the United States desired to recag- nize the full national interests of Mexico and that aggran- dizement was no part of this country’s policy toward Mexico. - President Obregon of Mexico rode through the streets with only police acting as guard Seldom Ras a Me President in recent year's appeared in a public demonstration without a great guard of soldiers. The abortive revolt ap- pears nearing an end, leaving Obregon in a stronger position than ever before. There is real hope that the United States may rise in the} good graces of Mexico in the future, and that with a stable | government Mexico may make much progress. 5.09 6.00 CONQUERS MOTHS AT LAST This is the glorious season when mother discovei moths have gotten into the upholstered furniture and holes in clothes stored away last ‘fall. In fairness to‘ the moths, it must be admitted that they have a sense of humor —always select, for their eating, places that show mosi prominently. Dr. Titschak of Leverkusen has finally discovered how to checkmate the moths—possibly exterminate them eventu-! ally. The story is told in the Scientific American magazine.

We have a large pay-| rol] and most of this money is spent each week among the busi-| ness men of this city who get a} fair profit for what they sell but] we are denied a fair profit for| what we have to sell so they send} out of town for their printing.

Moths do not eat cotton or other fabricematerials taken from plant life, excepting paper and cork. One kind of motli specializes at attacking wool and hair. Another goes after furs. Still others concentrate, in turn, on cork and paper. The Scientific American article says that the moths so often seen flying around a house are males. To kill them does not help much, for there are several hundred males to each female. And the female moth, though it has wings, rarely flies out where it can be seen. It hides in dark cerners and lays thousands of eggs. These eggs hatch into worms. By the time the worms are large enough to be seen crawling * about, they have already done most of their damage. Why does nature send these pests to annoy us? Answer this and you’ll have the answer why nature sends all ou other troubles. The purpose seems to be to keep us busy fighting for existence. LESS CRUELTY IN WORLD TODAY A century ago there were almost 100 offenses punishable by hanging. Insane persons were chained and beaten. The :World has grown better. Our generation is less viciously cruel than the people of long ago. Cruelty decreases ivilization advances. The fight against cruelty to unfortunate human beings has been going on for thousands of years. It’s far from on But we no longer throw slaves and prisoners to the ions. . The campaign against cruelty to animals did not get under way in an organized form until about the time human slavery was abolished here in America. The American So- ciety for the Preverftion of Cruelty to Animals was founded in April, 1866. Cruelty to animals used to be mainly in beating horses, abusing dogs, keeping cattle half-starved. That sort of | fiendishness is not altogether extinguished by any means. But it has been curbed. Average intelligence has advanced, and ‘owners realize that there is a selfish reason why they should treat horses and livestock with great care. Dogs and cats usually are well treated by their owners. A cowardly strang- eroccasionally vents his viciousness on them—too cowardly In the week beginning Monday, April 7, the American people are asked tq renew their determination to compel ml ye cruelty to dumb brutes. Kindness to animals should b taught in all schools, as it already is in 23 states, by law. +. The last strongholds of cruelty to animals are hunting for pleasure, shooting birds for feathers, and collecting furs by treatment of all forms of animal life. Cruelty to animals is, “after all, the most extreme form of cowardice. = Maybe unions boost prices, but there is no robbers’ union’ it gnd it eosts alot to be robbed. ~ ng to perpetual motion is digging up new oil tp, But, forever after, moths wil!, They crawl around on it, in the worm |} | Spud, is |: “There's, nony, so blind ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON | Along the road of Doofunny Land skipped Nancy and Nick and Mister Fuzz Wuzz singing: “We're so happy and so gay We could throw ourselves away, But we'd come back in a hurry,’ So you really needn't worry.” “What's that?

He was too desirous of a bath and clean clothes, however, to feel more than a fleeting disappointment, and it was not untll his return to -his room that he saw a letter lying on ,- the table. It was addressed in Mary's hand. writing, and he stared at {t in as. tonishment for a second, then ‘tore it open. It was dated “Hunters. ville, Monday afternoon,” and tt read: “Dear Lee: “Mr. Dinwiddie will tell you that unforeseen ircumstances have arisen which compel me to go to New York for a few days. It ts excessively annoying, but unavold- able, and I do not ask you to fol- low me as I should hardly be able to see anything of you.

She made no mention of Judge Trent, The whole thing was am- biguous, curt. A full explanation was his right; moreover, it was the reverse of a love letter. Even its phrases of regret were formal. Soniething wes wrong. He put on his clothes hurriedly in order to go in search of Dinwid. die, but before he had finished he heard a sound in the next room and opened the connecting door unceremoniously. ¥ Mr. Dinwiddie braced himself as he saw Clavering’s set face. “Too bad,” he muttered, but Clav: erfng cut him short. ‘What took oy > “I want the truth.

She went down there this morsing to meet Hohenhauer.” “Hohenhauer!” Clavering’s face turned almost black, “Yes. Trent telegraphed me yes- terday that Hohenhauer was arriv- ing at Huntersville last night and would come up here in the morn- ing to see Mary. He said the mat- ter was most important. I went ~ to Mary's room after you came in from the lake and showed her the message. She was. extremely an- noyed and said at first that she wouldn’t see him. But I pointed out that she couldn’t possibly avoid it. Then she said he shouldn't come up here, and she was very emphatic about ft. The only thing > to do was to take her down. Of course you will be reasonable and see there was nothing else to be done.” j “What did that infernal black- guard want of her? And why did she go off with him?” “She didn’t go off with him. She hired a car directly after lunch in- tending to drive as far as Saratoga and take a train from there. She left Hohenhauer to coo} his heels until it was time to take a local for the Adirondack Express. She could easily have taken him along, but I think she was meting out punishment.” “Punishment?” oS “Yes. They had a private con- ference for nearly two hours, and, whatever happened, it put her in an infernally bad humor. She scarcely opened her mouth during -|]uncheon, and as Mary {sa woman ,_ of the world, used to’ concealing her feelings;1 thought it highly sig- nificant.” She looked as if she were én a secret frozen rage. Hohen- hauer, however, was quite himself, and the meal—corned, beef and cabbage!—went off very well.” “What did he want of her?” “Of that I haven't the vaguest idea.
