cisco Villa, noted Mexican rebel chief

PROCLAMATION OF MOURNING
BY PRESIDENT COOLIDGE
. Washington, Feb. 3.—President
i Coolidge’s proclamation on the death
| of Woodrow Wilson follows:
1 By the President of The United States
of America, A Proclamation to the
People of the United States:
The death of Woodrow Wilson, Pres-
ident of tihe United States from
March' 4, 1913, to March 4, 1921,
j which occurred at 11:15 o’clock today
! at his home at Washington, District
| of Columbia, deprives the country of
; a most distinguished citizen and is an
| event which causes universal and genu
| ine sorrow. To many of us it brings
[ a sense of profound personal bereave-
I ment.
His early profession as a lawyer
was abandoned to enter academic life.
In this chosen field he attained the
highest rank as an educator, and has
\ left his impress upon the intellectual
l thought of the country. From the
j presidency of Princeton University he
j was called by his fellow-citizens to be
: the chief executive of the state of New
! Jersey. The duties of this high office
| he so conducted as to win the confi-
j dence of the people of the United
j States, who twice elected him to the
i chief magistracy of the Republic.
As President of the United States
he was moved by an earnest desire
to promote the best interest of the
country as he conceived them. His
acts were prompted by high motives
and his sincerity of purpose cannot be
questioned. He led the nation through
the terrific struggle of the World War
with a lofty idealism which never fail-
ed him. He gave utterance to the
aspiration of humanity with an elo-
quence which held the attention of all
the earth and made America a new
and enlarged influence in the destiny
of mankind.
In testimony of the respect in which
his memory is held by the Government
and the people of the United States,
I do hereby direct that the flags of
the White House and of the several
departmental buildings be displayed
at half staff for a period of 30 days,
and that suitable military and naval
honors under orders of the Secretary
of War and of the Secretary of Navy
may be rendered on the day of the
funeral.
Done at the city of Washington this
3rd day of February in the year of our
Lord one thousand nine hundred and
twenty-four, and of the independence
of the United States of America the
one hundred and forty-eighth.
CALVIN COOLIDGE,
By the President.
CHARLES Ef, HUGHES,
Secretary of State.
DISTRICT CONFERENCE
The attendance at the Methodist
District Conference is not as large as
had been expected on account of the
cold and disagreeable weather. How-
ever, there are fifteen of the preach-
ers in attendance with a few laymen,
and at the class organization of the
Standard Training School Monday
night thirty were enrolled.
Some of the business scheduled co
take place Tuesday morning was left
until Wednesday morning, when it is
hoped that a larger number of the
laymen may be present. Reports were
heard Tuesday from the pastors of
the various charges and there was
a spirit of optimism in all of the re-
ports. A new church is being built
at Richland Springs, a new parson-
age at San Saba, and the outlook for
good revivals during the year is good.
PILFERERS STILL DOING
THEIR WORK HERE
Some time between daylight Sat-
urday morning and 9 o’clock Saturday
night pilferers entered the home of
Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Andrew and while
nothing is missed at this time, they
left the house in a disorderly condi-
tion, visiting each of the bedrooms,
disarranging the beds, pulling out
all of the various drawers in the
dressers and chifforobes, and other
pieces of furniture, and leaving the
house in a tumbled-up and tousled
condition.
Mr. Andrew notified the officers but
no clue has been discovered at this
time, and it is doubtful if the officers
will be able to locate the guilty par-
ties. Since this work of pilfering still
continues, citizens will do well to take
precaution and if possible get on to
some clue that will locate these law-
breakers and put them in the hands
of the ogcers and let the law deal
with them.
THE BACKACHE
Tests with Pepsinated Calomel, the
aew English Calomel treatment, have
shown that it is one of the most power-
ful stimulants to the kidneys which we
possess. Wkile not intended primarily
for the treatment of kidney diseases,
yet it exerts a powerful influence upon
these organs and promptly relieves
backache due to the kidneys, by stimu-
lating both the liver and kidneys, thus
aiding them in removing the waste
matter that is causing trouble. If your
back aches most of the time, or if you
are troubled with constipation or bili-
ousness, try Pepsinated Calomel on the
positive guarantee that you will be re-
lieved or your money returned.
Mackey & Ransom and all reliable
druggists recommend and guarantee
Pepsinated Calomel to bring relief be-
tween sundown and sunup or your
money refunded. Try it—we guarantee
you’ll feel better tomorrow. (Adv.)
