’•REPORTED IN MEXICO
VETERANS TO'SERVE 21 MACHINE
REPORTED TO HAVE
ENLISTED
Mexicali, Lower California.—Gover-
nor Esteban Cantu’s action terminat-
ing relations with the Mexican provis-
ional president and reports that Am-
erican ex-service men were to serve
machine guns for the Cantu forces,
are the outstanding features in the
situation here arising out of the an-
nounced intention of the provisional
government to wrest control of Lower
California from Governor Cantu.
It is said by officers of the Cantu
forces that sufficient American veter-
ans had crossed the international
boundary line from Valexico to serve
the 21 machine guns said to be part
of the equipment of the Cantu army.
Preparations to resist the invasion
which Governor Cantu had announced
iwas to be made by Mexican federal
'soldiers continues rapidly. Recruits
who have enlisted here are drilled
and Governor Cantu expressed confi-
dence he would have an army of suf-
ficient strength to resist any troops
that might attack his men.
Orders stopping all the communica-
tion' between the Mexican federal gov-
ernment and the territorial govern-
ment of the northern district of Lower
California have been issued by Gover*
nor Cantu, it was announced here.
Through Jose M. Aguilera, territori-
al secretary of state Governor Cantu
Bent to M. G. Paredes, representative
of the federal government at Calexico,
Cal., a message stating that all orders,
business, suggestions and communica-
cations from him1 as an officer of the
provisional government would be ig-
nored.
Instructions to ignore the communi-
cations have been given to officials in
the customs, Immigration, treasury and
other departments of the Lower Cali-
fornia government, the message said.
Governor Cantu, who is raising an
army to repel Mexican federal troops,
said he had been promised support of
practically all the 7,000 Chinese in the
district. Japanese residents are ex-
pected to advise the governor as to
the support they will give him. There
are about 500 Japanese here.
No Mexican federal troops have left
Guaymas for Lower California, as re-
ported, according to a telegram re-
ceived by W. F. Boyle, American con-
sul, from American Consul Yost at
Guaymas. Yost said it vyas rumored
at Guaymas that troops were being
sent from Mazanillo and Mazatlan.

Board of Commissioners Allows Til/
March 1 to Begin Work
Dallas.—At a meeting of the hoard
bf commissioners of the city of Dallas,
the Dallas Railway company was giv-
en until March 1, 1921, to commence
the construction of the Dallas-Wichita
Falls interurban, and was allowed un-
til Dec. 1, 1920, to file witb the board
the line of right of way to be used
in the project.
Under previous commitments for
franchise, made by the city, the rail-
way company was called upon to be-
gin the construction of the road by
Aug. 1, 1920, while the filing of the
right of way was to have been made
on July 15. The action of the commis-
sion, which was unanimous and with-
out debate, followed a week of con-
sideration of the negotiations for ex-
tension made by the interurban com/
pany.
According to the resolution passeu
by the board, the railway to Wichita
Falls is to be completed by March 1,
1924, and all agreements contained in
the earlier resolution of March 29,
1920, regarding the commitments for
franchise the Dallas Railway company
to operate and build two interurban
lines, remain unchanged, except for
date of completion.
WILL HOLD MINERS
TO THEIR CONTRACT
jr-
Operators Declare Agreement is to Re-
main in Effect Two Years
McAlister, Okla.—Because they en-
tered into the agreement in good faith
and have been keeping it, 35 members
of the Oklahoma Coal Operators’ as-
sociation voted that the contract made
at the close of the national strike last
November between operators and the
United Mine Workers was binding for
two years and until then the miners
are bound to work without opening
further negotiations. This stand was
taken following the request of John
Wilkinson, president of District 21,
Mine Workers, that the operators ad-
vise him of their position in the mat-
ter and is identical with the one re-
cently taken by the operators in the
Illinois field, where the miners are
now striking.

SUMMER FLOWERS.
MAh, we’re coming out soon,” said
Mother Golden Glow. “Be ready my
lovely bright children.” And all of the
Golden Glows grew a little more yel-
low and became brighter as though
they wanted to tell Mother Goldeii
Glow that they were ready.
“Some of the older ones,” said
Mother Golden Glow, “may come out
a little ahead of the others. But we
must all come out about the same
time; And the bright midsummer sxfn
will shine down upon me, and we will
look up at it and smile for it will be
so very bright and it will «« feel
so bright too.”
And in another part of the garden
the beautiful mother of the pink phlox
family was talking to her children.
“Soon, my glorious children, we will
be coming out. We will be ready to
add our part to the birthday celebra-
tions that come in the middle of the
summer.
“We will add to the tables and
make everything seem gay and fes-
tive.
“Mother Purple Phlox and Mother
Rose-Colored Phlox and Mother Pale
Pink Phlox and Mother White Phlox
and Grandmother Phlox who looks aft-
er all the grandchildren—the in-be-
tween colors—they’re all telling their
children it is time to come out of their
budded beds.
“And some of them are already out.
“Ah, my lovely bright pink children,
you will be of such a lovely color. Your
gowns will be so bright and so gay.
You will be the gayest of the whole
family and you will be so happy to
decorate tables and to be used for
birthday celebration's.
“Soon you must, come out. Yes,
Began to Open Their Eyes.
very, very soon. In fact I think it is
about time now.”
So the lovely bright pink phlox be-
gan to open their eyes and they looked
about them.
All around they saw their friends,
the Poppy family, the Marigold fam-
ily, the Johnny Jump-Up family who
stayed throughout the summer, the
Love-in-the-Mist family, the Nastur-
tium family, the Geranium family,
the many, many other lovely families
of flowers all about them.
“Good-morning, flowers,” they said.
“Good-morning, good-summer, every
one 1”
And all the flowers bowed their
heads ever so gently and said:
“Welcome, lovely pink phlox. See
all your cousins are coming out too.”
And all the other phlox cousins be-
gan to come out too.
Soon the golden glows were bobbing
their bright golden heads.
“Here wre are too. Welcome every-
body, good-summer, glad to see you
all.”
And all the other flowers said:
“We’re always glad to see the bright
golden glow flowers with their lovely
yellow heads!”
“And we’re going to be used—so
many of us—again this year for the
tables as decorations and in great
vases in the halls of homes and we’re
going to be used for birthday parties
just as our families have before us.
Ah, it Is fine to think of all we are
going to do.”
“And I’ll make you warm and
happy,” said Mr. Sun, as he shone
down from above.
“Ah, Mr. Sun, we want to thank you
too. Without you we wouldn’t have
opened up our sleepy eyes. And we
are so glad we did,” said all the flow-
ers together.
“Oh, we’re so glad we did. For we
love the summer and seeing all our
happy, bright friends and feeling the
warmth of your kindness to us.
“And we wouldn’t miss coming om
.—no, not for anything, and we thank
you for helping us to come oVit.
“Yes, we’re all grateful to Mr. Sun.
All the summer flowers are grateful.”
“You’re welcome, welcome,” said
Mr. Sun. “For one of the reasons I
see that you wake up is because I too
want to enjoy you and shine down
upon your beauty and your brightness
and the loveliness of all of you!”
And the summer flowers smiled up
at Mr. Sun.
Couldn’t Remember It All.
Little Robert, says an exchange,
rushed into the kitchen one day and
asked his mother what kind of pie she
was making.
“Lemon meringue pie,” she an-
swered.
The little fellow disappeared, but

asked, “what did you say Is the pie>
middle name?”—Current Opinion.
Some More Truths.
‘Xj&T’OULD you use a steam shovel to move a pebble? Certainly not. Implements
* * are built according to the work they have to do.
Would you use a grown-up’s remedy for your baby’s ills? Certainly not.
Remedies are prepared according to the work THEY have to do.
All this is preliminary to reminding you that Fletcher’s Castoria was sought
out, found and is prepared solely as a remedy for Infants and Children. And let
this be a warning against Substitutes, Counterfeits and the Just-as-good stuff that
'may be all right for you in all your strength, but dangerous for the little babe.
All the mother-love that lies within your heart cries out to you: Be true to
Baby. And being true to Baby you will keep in the house remedies specially
prepared for babies as you would a baby’s food, hairbrush, tootbrush or sponge.

‘ A doctor in the house all the time would be a good idea. Yet yon
can’t afford to keep a doctor in the family to keep baby well or pre-
vent sickness. But you can do almost the same thing by having at
hand a bottle of Fletcher’s Castoria, because it is a wonderful remedy
for indigestion, colic, feverishness, fretfulness and all the other dis-
orders thatTesult from common ailments that babies have.
Fletcher’s Castoria is perfectly safe to use. It is a harmless sub-
stitute for Castor Oil, Paregoric, Drops and Soothing Syrups. Children
cry for Fletcher’s Castoria, and mothers recommend it because they
have found it a comfort to children and a mother’s friend.
If you love your baby, you know how sweet it is to be able to
help baby when trouble comes. You cannot always call upon a doctor.
But doctors have nothing but good to say of Fletcher’s Castoria, be-
cause they know that it can only do good—that it can’t do any
harm—and they wouldn’t want you to use for baby a remedy that
you would use for yourself. - s.
