Burial was in Deepwood :ceme- tery. ‘3 Carranza an opportunity to dem- 4 _ omstrate that he can safeguard Yefe and property in Mexico be- fore he will countenance Ameri- can intervention. . This was determined today at a meeting of the Cabinet and at a conference with Senator Stone of Missouri, chairman of the Senate Cemmittee on Foreign Relations. Senator Stone admitted in -a speech in the Senate, shortly af- ter his return from the White House, that the President might take measures to strengthen Gen. Oarranza’s hand and aid him to restore order, No announcement on this as- pect of the subject has come from the White House, but Senator Stone's vigorous defense of the President’s policy and his expres- free spender and did aot save, “A baby came, and I felt an added responsibility. I was afraid—ectually ih Tat eran ae I gave the ma say: ing thought, but I could fo’ eide upon any course of action. At the office one day a business dis- cussion made me see that what i neod- ed in my home was competition, . “That night on my arrigal home I said to my wife that I would, begin- ning the next Saturday, give her half my salary and I would keep the other half, and we each take an equal share of the household expenses. “At the end of the first month I left my bank book on the library table. I wanted to surprise her. That evening she handed it to me and said she thought I was doing fine. Look- ing at her closely, I saw that she real- ized she was challenged. She did not speak, however, of any intention she At the time the School of Philanthro| made its investigation there were, ao- cording to a church paper, 410 under: takers in Chicago. On the average, each undertaker secured a trifle more than one funeral a week. In New York city there were 1,100 undertakers and about 74,000 deaths annually, which gave each undertaker an average of less than four funerals in three weeks. For the country as a whole, the aver. age was less than one funeral a week for each undertaker. Some undertak: ers got more than one-half of all the business during a given fortnight, leaving 429 undertakers to divide the: other half. Many undertakers had no funerals at all during these two weeks.’ In the course of an entire year they would secure only a handful. Others would get only one or two funerals a month. Yet each undertaker had to keep up his establishment—where hé had one—pay office rent, bills for light Start right now to live the rest of your life right. sion of hope as to what the Presi- dent would do was regarded as particularly significant. From an authoritative ‘source it was learned that this is the viewpoint of the President on the Mexican situation. “By murdering Americans Vil- la is seeking to precipitate Amer- ican intervention in Mexico in a last desperate hope of working the overthrow of Carranza. ‘*Armed intervention, with its attendant cost of blood, would not be warranted by existing con- ditions. “The employment of American troops in Northwest Mexico in co- operation with the Carranza forces against the Villistas would be-likely to precipitate war, as in the case of, the Philippines in 1898. “Because of the mountainous character of the country and the guerilla character of the warfare it would be a difficult task for the American army to rout the Villistas from their strongholds. “Therefore the wisest policy to pursue is to keep Americans out of all portions of Northwest Mex- ico not controlled by Carranza. “Carranza should be given a further opportunity to prove that he is capable of maintaining or- der.”’ The President inspired Senator Stone with these views before the Cabinet met this morning. The Senator confered with the Presi- dent for half an hour and then re- turned to the Senate, where he proceeded to defend the adminis- tration in accordance with the suggestions given him by Mr. Wil- son. 8,000 Acres Wheat Flooded. Charleston, Mo., Jan. 13.—It is estimated that between 8,000 and 10,000 acres of growing wheat are -covered by the back water from the Mississippi River in the lower part of this county. The water has backed up through the gap in t through Ten-Mile Pond, covering the wheat in places to the depth of two feet. J. M. Wallace and J. H. Gunn, farmers, declare the fate of the i wheat is, problematical. If the weather should turn warm. and the sun come out brightly while the water is on it the wheat would be badly scalded, and a great deal ef it lost. If, however, the weath- er should turn cold and remain s0 while the river receded, allow- ‘dngthe back water to leave the ground, the wheat would not be . The back water will sold weather should set in. which have been inactive years or more. die American turning out coal tar colors at the rate of 15,000 tons annually, and a report on the present dyestuff situation just issued by the Bu- reau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce of ‘the Department of Commerce, calls attention to the importance of the fact that these colors are oy from American raw mater- ial.

Carranza Bic Embargo on San Antonio, Tex., January 15. —For the first time in the history of the country the wild game of Mexico is to be protected and con- served. The first step has been taken by the de facto government by placing an embargo on the ex- portation of quail. : Mrs. Martha Learn of San An- tonio, who had a: contract with New York dealers for 50,000 quail to replenish the game preserves of certain millionaires, has been notified by her agents in Mexico that no: birds can be supplied on account of the embargo. Another San Antonio man is said to have 3000 quail in Piedras Negras which he ean not bring into this country and which must be re- leased. This is said to be the first time that any attempt to protect wild game has been made in Mexico. 15,000 Tons of Dyes a Year. Washington, .D.

World writes that he has just complet- erals a month. But it is not the lack of business alone that makes necessary this great margin of profit- One of the leading undertakers of New York city said to me: “There is every cent of $50,000 in unpaid bills on our books. We have to make up that loss or we could not stay in’ business. So we have to charge high prices and the people who do pay make up for those who don’t.” WATER LILIES ARE PASSING Beautiful Flowers Have Greatly De- creased In Indiana—Almost Dis- appeared In Some Lakes. Many of the smaller lakes of In- diana a few years ago floated an abundance of water lilies. As the years have gone by and the numbers of excursionists and summer guests at these places have increased, the lilies have greatly decreased and trom some lakes have almost disappeared. . What a beautiful flower, beautiful in {ts mystical loveliness is the white water lily which belongs to the same species as the lotus, which the ancient Egyptians held sacred! How lovely is our lily floating amid its great rounded leaves closing at night to reappear. the next morning in all its unspotted purity. July and , August are the months for this flower. An old writer in enthusiastic admiration of this lily says: “Ah, how lovely it looks, floating -double, lily and shadow, with its broad leaves locking like green resting places for this queen of waters to sit upon, while dipping her ivory sandals in the yielding silver; or, when rocked by a gentle breeze one may fancy they look like a moving fairy fleet with low |: green hulls and white sails, slowly making for the shore!” But unless the vandal hand of the This the Smallest Motor?

H. Whit {ng of Jonesboro, Me. It is a tin hat, with a band made of copper. He fashioned the natty headpiece himself. It is not only very light in weight, but he claims that it is cheaper than a straw “bonnet,” lasts longer and is absolutely rainproof. Whiting’s tin hat has a luster all its own, something that takes the shine off all other hats. It {s more showy than Mambrino's helmet, made famous by Don Quixote. Whiting’s hat ‘is made of tin, common sheet tin, the same kind of tin that baked beans and sardines and tomatoes are put up in. It is built on a 1915 model, and no fashionable youth of the town can “put anything over” on him in the matter of style. It is neat, but not gaudy, a tin body with a copper band, not quite as brilliant as a ribbon with college colors, but more substantial and quite as attractive. At least, it attracts plenty of attention when Whit. ing wears it on the streets.—Boston Post. A French Story.
