The assassination of Carranza
forcibly reminds us that the
Villa - HuevU - Carranza bandit
murder method will never solve
the Mexic m situation.
Murder* and outrages on Am
erican women and children in
the last ten years cannot be for
gotten. T assailants were
n^ver punished.
Tho it is not up to us to inter
fere in the internal affairs of
that country, it is certainly up
to the present administration
to take a hand in the game &
avenge the deaths of our citizens
who h,ave been murdered in cold
blood by these so called presid
ents and their bandit follower #
Mexico is a country of untold
Wraith, but her mines, forests
and oil lands are not producing
one centimo for the benefit of
anyone: even the smilii g faces
of little children have disappear
ed and when they are missing
there is something wrong some
where.
We have just cause for inter
ference, and it is a direct re
flection on the nation‘s honor if
the administration remains pas
sive any longer.
SOLUTION < f H. C. of L.
PROBLEM
(From the Pathfinder)
There’s a lot of controversy
Why the cost of living's high.
If you 'll stop awhile s nd lisltn
I will tell the reason why.
There’s a lot of lazy idlers
Who do not want to work.
But sit and scheme and plan
How they can loaf huo shirk.
Some' only want to work 6 hours
And some would work but four
Some just want a salary
And not work at all any more,
But just noe round in an auto
And smoke a vile c igarette.
Go to a ball game or pool-hall
With plenty ot money to bet.

Then there are acres fit acres
Used for growing the weed;
! There never was such •> menace
That sprang from so tiny a seed
And men will smoke and chew it
It takes away all their vim.
When they open their mouth it
Looks as if mortification set in.
No, take those acres and acres
That are us«d ‘Joi giovirg lie
weed
And make them raise food for
the people,
See how many ’twould feed.
Then plant all the waste places
That in this fair land are found
Wouldn’t you rather see things
growing
Than waste time standing tound
i
Now a wrordortwo to the ladies
Who loll round and put on style
Jusn wear more comfortable
garments
So you wont have to rest all the
while;
And live in such‘a manner
You’ll know’ wrhat good health
means
Get out in the air and sunshine
Help raise some ‘taters & beans
Now’, this H C of L problem
| Can be solved in only one way
< Roll up your sleeves & get busy
Work fourteen hours a day,
Stop doiig things that harm you
Show the world you have back
bone and sand,
And there is no reason whatever
You cant live on the fat of the
land.
