And, as all weather bu- i ] 1 i I'tau records have been smashed , this June, just so plans of the revoi * . . . I ' unionists. Almost tiw> entire strip of land from the Southern bordei ! 11 of Mexieo to Panama,with the possi-i, " j hie exception of Costa Rica, may ' j witness what within tlie next few ; ^ months will probably he the great-1J est uprising in tlie history of Ceil- , tral America. j, Every summer there is talk of ? revolution in some central American 1 i country, and more or less planning 5! by persons who have axes to grind , | or who are willing to make a few hundred dollars in cash by financing ' a movement for a change of governI ment in the Central American Re-1 publics. Never before, perhaps, have there j 4 been so many people of known revolutionary designs in New Orleans, ' and they are leading a score of see j ret service agents of the other. 1 1 countries a merry chase. 'j If storries handed out by this' ? ! government's agents are true, Josej Suntot Zalayu, exiled former Pres1 ident of Nicaragua, has joined j ? with prominent members of the! Cienactio party, in Mexico, in a | - plan which involves a general up-] heaval in Honduras and Nicaragua i & and probably Salvador. Daily meet ings are being held by these mal contents. These intriguers are said to have j ' alrpsiflv iinrchaoo/l (Hio n..nnti.u I ? . ... ....D 5,000 rifles, 300,000 rounds of ammunition and tl?e former United ' States torpedo boat Winslow. They are said to be negotiating for the , * former gunboat Siren, now in Cen-; K tral American waters, and a vessel 1 or two for use on the Pacific side. | 11 A large number of "soldiers of J fortune," including a half dozen members of the American legion, I which was commanded by Garibaldi !t in the Mexican revolt, are here ? waiting the call of arms, and Gen j r" Lee Christmas, the best known of I e all the war men, is scheduled to ar- j II rive shortly from Honduras, where (1 he recently assisted Manuel Honilla '* in gaining possession of that country. In former years the revolution? ists have met with slight resistance ll from the United States Government. 8 They have formed their plans here more or less openly, eveu taking ^ newspaper folk and others into! ^ their confidence, and boat loads of f rifles and other war material have lf been sent out. s There has been a change, how* y ever, and the United States Gov' ernment is planning to prosecute violators of the neutrality laws to ll the fullest extent, to the end that e peace may reign in the little republics. i- ^ 8 THIS KANSAS TOWN PUTS ON 1 A1KS. !

In fact there is $220 * I worth of sidewalk for every person I in the place. n; About four years ago the aown was incorporated into a city of the '* | third class. There was not a 91 cement sidewalk in it, and only one j or two brick ones. Where there 'were any walks at all they were i muue uui 01 men ooarns. M. K. | n Getcliell, the mayor, was a luniber' man. He said that Williamsburg ' had to have sidewalks made out of !"! something that would last if he had to stand the whole town off. ' He went to Kansas City and told 8 his troubles to some of the rich lumbermen friends, who were good I- fellows. They all said, "Go to it, e Oetchell; we'll ship you the stuff."! I Now the city?for such they insist! ? it is?has approximately $110,000 h worth of sidewalks and a population of only 500, Miss Brown, who has charge of the millinery department of the E. hi.

I The Press Association Meeting. at ! he i We believe we shall voice the opfj I iniuti of every editor and newspa,te Per worker who attended the meetii >nK of the State Press Association held at Columbia Thursday and Friday of last week, when we say that it was one of the best ever ge held. In one thing at least do we U think it excelled, and that was in le the wide range of practical subjects discussed The program committee is to be congratulated on the spJona did selection of subjects for papery a and the speakers on the splendid 111 preparation given the subjects. The te attendance of real newspaper makers and workers was also a notable feature In this respect the 118 meeting probably excelled previous 1,1 meetings We expect to see improva ment in many of the newspapers of jthe State as a result of the meeti iug. It seems to be the determin?"lation of the members of the Press 111 ! Association to put their papers on ^ a business basis The time when re any kind of management in the business affairs of a newspaper Is at an end. and business managers are beginning to conclude that the same kind of business judgment is needed to make the newspaper a success as is needed in other lines jof business. An auxilllarv organizes 'ation will probably result among the se. county papers In reference to more ir economical purchasing of supplies, er and more uniform handling of foris eign advertising. The same amount of of intelligence and energy in othLo er lines make wealth for the worky. ers, and why not for the newspaper is men as well?
