Pershing’s Camp at Ranch, by Aeroplan irier to Columbus, A Mexican peon orchestra gave an unexpected Sunday night concert in General Pershing camp last night. It was the first mu- to which the American forces have been treated since they entered | Mexico more than two weeks ago. Th orchestra came into camp in a wagon, returning from a Sunday “fe- licitation” at a nearby ranch and wa halted by eager shouts of the soldiers just as the camp fires were lighting about the broad, mountain enclosed mesa which is the camp site. There was a vaquero driving the wa- gon, four mus in the small wagon bo viol, as big as an army soup lashed on behind the wagon hemp ropes. Beside the vaquero sat a woman, her arms filled with a heavy bundle, which seemed to hold several babies. The orchestra played a few selections for the soldiers, “La Cucuracha,” the Villa marching | song, the chorus of which runs: “The cockroach, the cockroach, No longer can he go, Because he hasn't any Mariawanna for his pipe.” "General Pershing called the musi- sians over to his camp site, an oven log fire, a cracker box for a chair, and a wind break made of yellow scrub daisies, a mountain flower, the only neral ,Geronimo Motor Cq April 8 San M., sic and a bass foliage available thick enough to shut | off the sudden gales.

' position ¢ the At meeting of Symonds was | and manager of the and morality, the is no greater or The strength character of a city, higher than the character of the of the city. It is the home that makes the city, for the home is the unit of soclal life. All influence that tend to destroy or weaken the home—infidelity, drunkenness, mere | material interests, incompatibility, di- vorce—strike a blow at the founda- tions of society and so weaken and disgrace a city. And those influ- ences that make for the purifying and uplift of the home are a great tower of strength to a city, and ought to have the encouragement and support of every right-minded citizen. Of these latter influences the church is by all means the most prominent and the | greatest; for the church is the surety and the exponent of those high truths and principles that constitute the sanctity and permanency of the home. When a person throws his influence on the side of the church he casts a positive vote for all that guarantees and strengthens the home; he helps his own and every other home. The co-operating churches of New Britain are in just this business of making homes what they ought to be, and so in this particular way are necessary factors in the city’s life. Following are some of the things these churches are to do this coming week, and to which they cordially invite the atten- tion and interest of the people of New Britain.
