The multi-millionaire break-

Post, of Chicago, who is known
the world over, by the use of
his famous products, died last
Saturday, M a y gth from a
rifle wound while at his winter
home in Santa Barbara, Cal.,
His body was shipped to Chi-
cago for burial in a solid
bronze casket weighing 750
pounds. He leaves an estate
estimated between fifty and
one hundred million dollars.
It would probably cause
some of us little folks to stand
in awe if fortunate enough to
be permitted to witness the
meeting of the South Ameri-
can Envoy's at Niagra Falls

Mexican troubles. The pomp
and formality displayed by
these dienitaries vested with

more so than when the com-
mon council meets at our town.
But we doubt if the}' accom-

nance and enforce it.
Last Wednesday May 13,
the Mexican rebels captured
Tampico after a hard fought
battle which is another step
toward the winding up of the
Mexican war. The battle
was fought in the presence
of the U. S. fleet anchored in
the Gulf of Mexico. Villa
has mobilized an army of 25,
000 men and his next impor-
tant move will be to take Sal-
tillo and then on to Mexico
City. Gen Villa also claims
however, that before this move

in such matters, why not the
ladies take hold and show
them what can be done. We

A postponement of the
meeting of the South Amcri-
c a n Mediators or Envoys
originally scheduled for Mon-
day May 18th to May 22nd,
at Niagra Falls, Ontario, was
granted last Friday at Wash-
ington. The postponement
was granted to allow the Mexi-
can delegation more time to
reach the place specified with
out hurry. This meeting
will l>e represented by the
Brazillian and Argentine
governments, etnbassdors to
try and settle, if possible, the
Mexican trouble and restore
peace. As it looks to a man
up a tree, if any specific rem-
edy is fouud through these
negotiations, Hureta gained
a respite of four days, or saved
his head that much longer.
The Carrauza/Viila element
will not stand for any propo-
sition short of depriving
Hureta of power and the
Hureta element vice-vers i for
anything less than "He's It"
and the Mexican war will con-
tinue until Uncle Sam inter-
venes and establishes a form
of government that will place
Mexico on a dignified level
with other nations.

If the State health officer
should come to Alto and in-
spect some of the alley's and
outbuildings what do you sup-
pose he would have to say
about the sanitary condition
of our beautiful little city in
which we cake so much pride?
In our opinion he would in-
struct the board of health or
the "city dads," or whoever
is responsible to get busy aud
clean up. Of course we all
kuow that the present unsani-
tary condition is due largely
to the excessive rains this
spring but that is 110 reason
why such couditians should
continue to exist. There are
great pools of stagnant water
standing :n our midst covered
with green scum, and while
looking at them you can see
green eyed monsters lurking
u 11 d e r their surface, or in
ether words you can read in
big box car letters, "contage*
ous disease." These pools are
surrounded and filled with
all kinds of debris and are a
perfect harbor for the fly and

deadly bacteria to all parts of
the town. T li e foulest of
these places mentioned is the
