WISE AND OTHERWISE
Time to dig sassairas.
The department of agriculture is
starting out from houses better,
though, of course, barns always have
to be fixed up first.
Yes, we've seen a robin?several
of them; we've noticed the boys playing
marbles, too, and we've heard
house-cleaning hinted at, but we're
not going to believe Spring is here
for a certainty until we see John
Wells Prof. Mclver and W. P. Stubbs
digging bait.
Paradoxical as it may seem laboring
men in the cities are quitting
eating ffieat because thev can't af_
X pay tho high price, while
farmers are quitting _raicing cattle
because they can't get enough for
them to make it pav. What's the
answer?
Of Interest to Women
The tailored suit is given to flarings
and draped open skirts.
Ribbons with watered surface and
brocaded flowers are all in one tone
and curious and lovely.
Most of the fashionable evening
sleeves seem to be held on the shoulders
by three stiches.
It is many seasons since there were
such stately designes as at present in
embroidery flounces.
In the new serges the smartest
colors are dust colors and navy blue.
Mad at Taint
25c a gallon for paint is about $2.50
on the average job. and lots of men
waited last year for that; but they
didn't reckon; they got mad; wouldn.t
pay it.
There are times to get mad and refuse
to pay; but when one's property
needs protecting is no time to get mad
and not paint.
Besides, it costs more to get mad
n-nit than tn naint
?uu nan iuau vvr v.
Getting mad doesn't do any good to
your property; paint does it good by
keeping-out water; no water no rot;
no paint, some water and rot; and a
little.rot is more than enough to make
a man liberal towards his painter and
paint.
Paint costs not a cent. All the
paint in the world, so long as it keeps
out water, costs not a cent.

Kansas City Star.
In his book, "The Chinese Revolution,'
Arthur J. Brown reprints a
paragraph written by a Chinese who
has seen much of Europeans and I
North Americans at Shanghai.
"We are always told that the countries
of the foreign devils are grand
and rich," the Chinese observed, "but
that cannot be true else what do they
all come here for?
"They jump around and kick balls j
as if they were paid to do it. Again
you find the making long tramps
into the country; but that is probably <
a religious duty, for when they wave
sticks in the air nobody knows why. '
They have no sense of dignity, for
they may be found walking with wo- ,
men. Yet the women are to be pitied, (
too. On festive occasions they are j
dragged around a room to the accomnnnimen*
of the most hellish music." l
Another interesting paragraph is I
from the pen of a Chinese who had
just letur.ned from a tour of Europe
and North America. He wrote to a
reliative as follows:
"You cannot civilize these foreign
devils. They are beyond redemption.
They will live for weeks and months
without touching a mouthful of rice,
but they eat the flesh of bullocks and
sheep in enormous quantities. That is
why they smell so badly. They smell
like sheep themselves. Every day
they take a bath to tide themselves of
their disagreeable odors, but they do
not succeed. Nor do they eat their
meat cooked in small pieces. It is
carried in'o the room in large chunks,
often half raw, and they cut and slash
and tear it a part. They eat with
knives and prongs. It makes a civilized
being perfectly nervous. One
fancies himself in the presence of
sword-swallowers. They even sit down
at the same table wi'h women and the
latter are served first, reversing the
order of nature."
Some Facts About Mexico
According to the World Alamanac
the standing army of Mexico is 31,000
with 60,000 reserves, and a million
unorgnnized men available for duty.
Mexico's navy is very small consisting
of five third class cruisers and
two destroyers. It has oaly 1200 men
in its navy.
The United States has 29 modern
battleships, 9 older battles'iips, 15
first class cruisers, 3 second class
cruisers. 14 third class cruisers, 21
gunboats, 10 monitors. 49 destroyers,
32 torpedo boats and 35 submarine*.
There are 58,000 men in the navy.
The United States ranks third
among the nations in the strength
of its navy. Great Britain and Germany
are ahead of it. Mexico ranks
21st.
The population of Mexico is 13,607.259,
according to the last census.
In the United States there were 91,- 0
972,267. r
Mexico is a republic, composed of a
27 states, and the constitutional 8
government is similar to that of the ^
United States. The president is elect- ?
ed for sjx years* General Huerta
has not been elected, however. He '
seized the presidency by force after *
having President Madero murdered. _
He ordered an election last year for ^
a president, but it was generally regarded
as a force, and the result has
never been declared.
Generals Carranza, Vila, and other v
rebel leaders are trying to over- t<
throw Huerta ana claim ma: tney u
want to reestablish the constitutional u
government. Many believe, however c
that if the rebels are successful, one *
or more of their leaders will try to
make himself president by force, with s
out an election. t,
There is great speculation as to the s
attitude of the rebels toward the b
United States in case this country v
goes to war with Huerta. tl
