around Columbia, visiting relatives and
the place where he spent some of his

Mr». Jamas Woodrow, an aunt who
welcomed him as "Tommy" and re
marked to Mrs. Wilson:
"Since he took to vvltlng boolts he
calls himself Woodrow."
Mr. Wilson then visited the Colum
bia Theological Seminary, where his
father once taught and was shown
the chair and room used by the elder
Mr. Wilson. He was told of a plan
to name a library planned by the
after . his father. After
wards he and Mrs Wilson and Dr
Grayson walked to the house planned
and built by his parents and In which
he lived for several years. There he
tallied with four small boys who now
lira In the house. Dr. Grayson asked
one of them If he expected to be
president The boy said he lid not

"I would not wish anything like
that on you," said the president.

BORDER BOARD IS BUSY
CUNSTABULARY SIMILAR TO RU
RALES OF OLD DIAZ REGIME
SUGGESTED.
General Bile* Makes Dispassionate
Statement of What He Believes Will
Follow the Withdrawal of General
Pershlngs'Troopt From Mexico.
New London, Conn—A suggestion
that the Mexican government create
a constabulary for border duty similar
to the rurales of the Diaz regime was
made during a brief session of the
American-Mexican joint commission
concluding the second week of its de
liberations. Apparently the plan for
a Joint police force previously discuss
ed was abandoned as improcticable
after the commissioners had conferred
with Major General Tasker Bliss,
assistant chief of staff of the United
States army.
General Bliss, It was learned, made
to the Joint commission a dispassion
ate statement of the situation he be
lieved would follow General Persh
ing's withdrawal from Mexico before
a properly constituted constabulary Is
created to relieve his troops. It is
understood he pointed out problems in
the way of an cffot to create a border
police under dual authority.
There Is reason to believe the Amer
ican commissioners have sought to
Impress their Mexican conferees with
the view that Mexico must recognize
a responsibility for the depredations
her nationals may commit on the bor
der If good relations are to be unim
paired. The whole questions of creat
ing a non-mllltary police force to hunt
down bandits in their hill retreats Is
based on this feeling and It Is believ
ed the suggestion that the Carranza
government undertake this task for
Itself as an International obligation
came from the Mexican commission
ers.

Indianapolis.—Thomas R. Marshall
formally accepted the Democratic re

here, not for additional honor, he
said, "but in the hope that I may as
sist In the re-election of Woodrow
Wilson, who has not walked where
tho path has led, but who has walked
where there was no path and who has
left a trail."
In a speech of acceptan.ce phrased
In characteristic vein, tjjC^Ylce,presi

achievements of the' administration,
in which he said he bad been "an
onlooker," and eulogized the Presi
dent as "the man who brooded over
the Republic In stormtossed times and
by mere words Bpoke peace on the
troubled seas of International poli
tics." A changed administration, he
declared, would not dare repeal a
single one of the Important measures
put on the statute books since March
4, 1913. Wanting an issue, he con
tinued, the Repubblcans had turned
to foreign affairs, coining such phrases
as "Firm Americanism," which they
could not define.
The ceremonies were the third of
the kind to be held in Indianapolis
within the last few weeks. The other
two notifications were for J. Frank
Hanly, the Prohibiten Presidential
candidate, and Charles W. Fairbanks,
Republican Vice Presidential nominee.

Vance McCormlck, were present at
tho notification.. Informal political
conferences were held by the leaders
and plans for the campaign were dis
cussed thoroughly. Reports of what
had been done In Indiana were made

—Orandoourt I* Being Bombarded.
German positions exceeding four
miles In length were captured Satur
day night and Sunday by the British
and French armlee In the continua
tion of their offensive north and south
of the Somme river in France. In ad
dition quantities of war material and
a large number of prisoners fell Into
the hands of the Entente Allies—7oo
prisoners being taken by the French
alone. Heavy counter-attacks against
the British were repulaed with heavy
losses to the Germans, according to
London.
Near Thlepval the British took a
fortlled r tlon over a front of a
mile know., as "the Danube trench,"
near Courcelette an advance of about
1,000 yards was made and finally the
strongly defended positions at the
Mouquet farm, over which there had
been numerous hard-fought battles
for several weeks, fell into their
hands.
The advance of the British appa
rently straightens out the salient that
had'projected Into their lines between
Thlepval and Courcelette and brings
their front here to within a scant mile
of Orandcourt and the ATbert-Bapaume
railway. Orandcourt Is now being
bombarded by the British. The suc

INDUSTRIAL INSURANCE.
Perhaps one gets a clearer concep
tion of the *ervioe performed by life
Insurance companies when he stadlss
the business of industrial life Insur
ance. Three-quarters of all the poli
cies la force are Industrial—thirty
millions ont of forty. When one
thinks of the service performed, the
number of Individual* affected Is per
haps more Important than the amount.
I* It not n startling fact that one ont
of every Are of the population of the
United lutes and Canada holds an
lads* trial life lnsnraaoe policy and
weekly pays Ms premium to a collec
tor T Can any one Institution be aald
to be as close to the people a* that?
When yon oonslder that In Philadel
phia and some other cities there are
more Industrial lite Insurance policies
In force than the number of the pop
ulation. yon begin to get an Inkling
of how dose to the life of the people
life Insurance Ik. But It Is not only
the number of policies, but the Inaur
ancs and financial exhibits which
•how the Important part In ths life of
the people life Insurance plays. In
number, the Industrial policies are 78
per cent of the total; la amount of In
surance and in premium Income, near
ly 19 per cent, or, including the or

and by far the most of their ordinary

THERE'S WORK FOR
ALL IN THIS CAMPAIGN
CLEAN UP AND PAINT UP.
Woman Can Take a Leading Part In
Thia Movamant For Baautiful, Sani
tary and 6afa Homa Towns.
By LOUISE KERPER, Chairman Clvlo
Committee, Ohio Federation of
Women's Clubs.
Women are housekeepers. They are
apt to see more clearly the need of
municipal houseelear.ing than are men.
Through our clubs we have an excel
lent opportunity to lead in "Clean Up
and Paint Up" work. Here are some
pointers fof-women who would help
regenerate their community with a
real "Clean Up and Paint Up" cam
paign:
Each campaign involves the renova
tion of the Interiors of buildings as
well as yards, streets and alleys.
The removal of all rubbish and use
less things Is most Important
Borne revenue can be derived from
th 9 sale of waste paper.
During the "Clean Up and Paint Up"
campaign Is a good time to have rub
bish cans placed upon street corners,
for the deposit of paper.
Nothing will do more to improve the
appearance of a town than the liberal
use of paint.
Useless and unsightly outbuildings
should be torn down.
Business houses need attention. Rub
blsh accumulates In collars, undei
stairways, In storerooms, passageways,
and in the rear of hotel* and restau
rants. Look out for RA i.'S here.
A clean yard is not sufficient; it
should be pleasing to the eye. riant
grass and flower seeds. Sod bare spots
in lawns, riant shrubs, vines and trees.
The thresholds of a town should be
made inviting to the visitor.
This is a good time to find out about
the sanitary ordinances of the town.
How about the regulations in regard
to garbage collection, the use of closed
garbage cans, manure piles, spitting,
toilets, etc.? Are they adequate? Are
they enforced? Appoint a committee
on this subject. Have the ordinance
published and distributed widely.
It Is very important that the "Clean
Up and Paint Up" idea be impressed
Upon the minds of school children.
LIGHTNING TIRES.
The report of ths Kansas lira mar
shal on lightning fires and losses Is
hardly less striking than that of the
Indiana official. In his report for
IMB, Marshal L. T. Hussey reports a
total loss of 201 lightning fires, with
aggregate losses of $20«,4J8. In only
three Instances, or less than 1 1-1 par
oeot, were the biddings rodded, the
aggregate losses for these three Srea
being 15,750; the percentage of losses
being oaly slightly more than the per
centage of the number of fires.—Fir*
