Tho Federal league is beginning to appreciate,
that base ball in season is a different affair from the
winter article. Times-Star.
. , The Pennsylvania Railroad Company had on
April 1 exactly 89,002 shareholders, who held an
average of 111.44 shares. This is the largest num
' J ber of shareholders tho Pennsylvania has ever had,
and an increase of 12,756 as compared with April 1,
1913, while tho average holdings have decreased
C.69 shares' compared with last year.
Iluerta has proved himself an able man, if not a
man to bo admired or a man to the liking of our
' officials or of our people, and it must be said in all
fairness that Americans and other foreigners have
suffered less and have been better protected within
the territory he has controlled than those who have
been exposed to the bandit band of Zapata or Villa,
or those of Durango and Topic. Cincinnati En-
quirer.
FOREIGNERS WILL DICTATE THE PRICE,
The removal of the duty on corn by this Demo
cratic Congress has changed conditions. Hereto
fore the prices have been determined by the Amer
ican farmer, this Free-Trade Tariff enables the
Argentine corn grower to dictate the price at which
the American corn grower shall sell his corn. "What
are you going to do about it? Waukon (la.) Standard.

"SPRING FEVER"
The right formula for the prevention of spring
fever is to eschew alcholic beverages of course
litis is a free country and you may prefer spring
fever and alcoholic beverages and cat a little less
than you do in winter time. There should be some
fruit and green salads in your menu, and not too
much meat. Open air, plus judicious exercise,
helps.
It has been pointed out that the French who be
lieved in leading an easy indolent life and taking
a trifle of stimulant against the rigors of the trop
ical climate did not build the Panama Canal. Amer
icans who believed in temperance, to the point of
abstinence during working hours at least, built the
Panama Canal.
Tours is the choice, these mellow, mild spring
days, and of course, you may be a person of leisure
and, having no canals to build, may be in a position
to disregard the formula for keeping strenuous.

BUT ONE WAY GO AFTER THE GREASERS.
The quixotic idealism of Secretary Bryan in deal
ing with a nation like Mexico, whose history and
acts show that her people are still semi-barbarous
in the main, may sound well when it is defended
from a chautauqua platform, but it will go down in
history as one of the biggest bits of idiotic states

ed States.

OUR ARMY.
Our army consists of 84,859 men and 4,745 of
ficers.. There is in the National Guard 122,094 men
and officers. In addition to these the law pro
vides that every able-hodied nian between the
ages of 18 and 45 belongs to the militia, subject
to call to arms when needed. Of this number there
is 10,004,083, which number exceeds the whole
population of Mexico.
If we have war with Mexico there are ready for
service, the regular army and tho national guard
together aggregating 212,278 soldiers, counting
both officers and men. If they are all called into
service, there will not be many volunteers needed,
for certainly 200,000 soldiers will march all over
Mexico. So young fellows who arc waiting to go
into a Mexican war, are liable to be disappointed,
even if we have war, which is by ne means certain:
In fact, the probabilities are that the President will
save the country from war.
SELF-RESPECT AND PAINT.
'A thousand American cities and towns have tak
en up the National Clean Up and Paint Up Cam
paign. It has been indorsed by thousands of civic,
commercial and women's organizations all over
the nation. The cities that have made themselves
a part of the movement are cleaner and better cities
because of it.
From time to time the Department of Agricul
ture urges upon the people of the country and the
small town the necessity of the use of paint. Beauty
and economy are the reasons dwelt upon by the
government experts. Add to the beauty and
economy the fact that paint has a sanitary value
and tho arguments apply with added force to the
big cities.
The house that is painted is the better for it.
A neighborhood that has cleaned up and painted
up is a better one in which to live. Paint makes
for self-respect and justifiable pride. Ashland

There was a slight pause, during which they hesitated
four times around tho floor.
"Yes," sho replied thoughtfully, "a'nd the floor isn't

There was another intellectual pause.
"Perfect," ho ngreed. "Tho floor and the music aro

"Yes, both," sho breathed.

Again she let him plumb.
"You know," ho whispered, "sometimes tho music is

boy who wrote tho following torso nar
rntivo about Elijah: "Thero was a
man named Elijah. Ho had somo bears
and ho lived in a cave. Somo boys tor
mented him. Ho said: 'If you keep on
throwing stones at mo, I'll turn tho
bears on you and they'll eat you up.'
And they did and ho did and tho bears
did."
The other day a boy was floundering
in his recitntion and becamo very much
embarrassed. This caused him to flound
er worse and suddenly ho sat down dis
gusted with himself. But tho teacher
kttow how and soon had that boy on
his feet again reciting tho lesson and
when ho sat down ngain ho had won a
great victory over himself and had
courage in his heart. Verily, such a
teacher is a treasure
