Clinton bids you welcome and
wants everybody to come and feel
at home
Everythin" is in readiness for a
big day and no one will get lone
some for want of entertainment.
Getting killed in an automobile
accident is rather common. A most
up-to-date method is by falling out
<>f an aeroplane.
It is said that dancing makes
girls feet large. It is also said
that ieo cream makes freckles. Doc
tors are of the opini-oh that hanging
on the front gate produce^rheuma
tism. A few more opinions like
these, and the girls won’t have any
more fun left them.
AVe can all find strength to carry
our burden in one day; to be kind
land sweet, and true, and firm, just
till night falls. This is all life ev-
er asks of us. To fight one day’s
temptation, do one day’s duties;
cheek angry and fretful humors;
hold our tongues in subjection,
and if we can say nothing kind, say
nothing at all, for just one day.

VILLA IS SECRETABY OF WAR
Carranza Government Aake Permit
sion to Move Troops Through Toxat
New Mexico and Arizona.
The next time
you buy calomel
ask for
Washington.—Villa forces have pro
claimed General Felipe Angeles pro
visional president of Mexico and Villa
himself,'secretary of war.
The move, coming at the climax of
military operations considered by the
Carranza government so serious that
it has asked the linited States for
‘permisskm—To taove troopr ttmvui
Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, is
regarded here as reflecting a situa
tion more serious in Mexico than any
since the triumph of Carranza forces
over Villa three years ago. Viewed
in connection with activities of the
Felicista forces in southern .Mexico
the situation is regarded as full of
possibilities.
Angeles’ reported first proclamation
announcing that Americans in Mexico
would be protected is particularly in
teresting to officials here, coming as
it does on the heels of the refusal of
the' 'state department to Mirant "Car
ranza’s request that he be allowed to
move’ troops through American terri
tory for the purpose of protecting
Americans in Chihuahua.
Acting Secretary Polk announced
that he had notified the Mexican
government he could not grant the re
quest made unless assurances could
be given that Americans would be af
forded protection while the troops
were in transit. That this could not
be done had been admitted previous
ly by the Mexican authorities. Gov
ernor Hobby, of Texas, declined to
authorize the passage of Mexican
Mrs. A. B. HENRY.
WANTED—By an experience teach
er a few pupils in shorthand and
French during the summer, months.
ADDRESS: Shorthand, 30Musgrove
Street.
Dr. J. v Lee Young leaves to-day
for Atlantic City to attend the
American Association, and from their

course of lectures and clinics l>eing

Vacation seems to be filling the
minds of every one at this time

and quite a few are finding it a
problem. To get what one wants at
the price one wants to pay, is not
always easy. Very few have
thought of spending vacation at
home, for ordinarily there _ is no
unusual diversion, but those who
want a vacation in a month are as
sured of all the entertainment of
every Ipnd that they can find in
any large city. This Community

.a greater array of talent than ever.
