Spring time make manifest the great resurection when Christ comes the incarnat ed of the first fruit of those wlio slept It is a peculiar thing to us, for this great big government, with all of its wealth and its re sources to allow its secretary of state to send a man an emisary j to Villa who is an acknowledged | brigand and cut throat to see j what he has to say about this ^ war, if war you call it, Mr. | Carothers was up to it, when he was patting Villa on tho back,; and discussing the important, part he was playing in the Mexi-1 can drama. j J.

So the United States is to have meditation with Mexico. Brazil Argentina and Chila have offered to meditate in the interest of peace. The offer is made jointly and the President of the Uniteo States accepts, but between whom are they to meditate? We have a quarrel with Huerta, and still we do not dignify him oy recognizing him m any sense as a ruler. Is there a government with which we may treat is there any one that we may meditate with. There is no ruler in Mexico. It is blind chaos, it is anarchy, it is disorder and ruin, a whirlwind of disaster, a babel of shame. Before we can reach an under standing that would relieve the Mexican situation, that would give us an amicable and peaceable understanding we shall have to find the correct source, the ac knowledged authority with whom to have the understanding.

You know it, but it can not hurt to repeat the suggestion, the advice the all important rule of trading at home. There has been built up in the past forty years some large and important cities in this country, the most magical growth 'of them have been the result of united effort. The people have pulled for their home town, they have traded with their home merchant.^, spent every dollar at home possible. It is the only correct way for a town to advance rap idly, and a people in a community wno do not appreciate this fact and live up to it, are slighting the most important factor m town building. It is all right to say the other fellow should do this that, or the other, but what are you doin^, you want him to trade with you, and yet you will send out of town for much that you could buy from your home merchant and buy as cheap as you could buy elsewhere. Don’t disparage, and speak un kindly of home people. It may gratify a little petulent predudice, but it is showing up the infinit smallness of your nature, and possibly doing some one harm, which in the end may be all you are aiming at, but cut it out, try Saved Girl’s Life “I want to tell you what wonderful benefit 1 have re ceived from the use of Thedford’s Black-Draught,” writes Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky. “it certainly has no equal for la grippe, bad colds, liver and stomach troubles. 1 firmly believe Black-Draught Saved my little girPs life.
