A newspaper headline reads:
"Italy Needs Thousands of Tons
of American Made Goods." We
told you *o. It's the "middle-
men" that cause hard times—
not the producer nor the con-
sumer.
For finding a keyhole in the
dark an inventor has patented a
key with a tiny electric lamp
near the end and a dry battery
in the shank. If "loaded" it is
still possible to .sleep on the door-
step however.
Anent the anxiety of many
as to the new governor's opinion
of the condition of the peniten-
tiary, we confess a curiosity on
the matter of what he thinks is
the best way to keep innocent
men out of that institution.
The Daily Texan, published by
the student body of the Univer-
sityof Texas, at Austin, is now a
welcome regular visitor to our
exchange table. The Texan is a'
America! Responsible?
In the course of an editorial on
the Me'xican situation with rela-
tion to Europe, the Houston Post
says:
"From the beginning, Eu-
rope expected the United
States to bring the Mexican
factions to order, but this
our government has utterly
failed to do. It has accom-
plished not a solitary thing
in the direction of composing
Mexican troubles. On the
contrary, it is fairly open to
the charge of having through
indescretion and blundering
rendered the situation worse."
Why should Europe expect the
United States to "bringthe Mex
ican factions to order?" The
Fo.st, in this same editorial, ad-
mits that Europe has interests in
Mexico as well as lias the United
States. Then upon what grounds
can the claim be based that the
United States should act as ag-
gressor single-handed in a com
and that the American policy of
not "butting in" on Mexican af
fairs was the proi>er one.

the Cemetery Association, Mos
dames W. A. McCord, L. W.

P. Fowler, H. D. Orgain and
Byrl Williams, together with
J. N. Judge Jenkins, Messrs.
Alf Griesenbeck, W. J Schewe.
W. A. McCord, E. Hasler, met at
Fair view last Thursday afternoon
to confer with Mr. Lundine, of
Smithville, in regard to some
work that needs to be done at
Fairview. This has been discuss
« d by tne members at the meet-
ings of the Association and after
a conference with the gentlemen
named it was decided to have the
cemetery grounds laid off in reg-
ular lots, have the lots numbered
and a map or plate of the same
n.;de, s> that persons with-
out lots will have no trouble in
selecting one.
Mr. Lundine exacts to begin
this work about the 1st of April
if possible. A committee con
sisting of Messrs. J. N. Jenkins,
W. .1. Schewe, E. Hasler, Alf
Griesonbeck, Dr. H. B. Combs,
Mesdames W. A. McCord, T. A.
Hasler, Sam Higgins and B. I).
Orgain was named to look aft r
tho work. All persons who aie
at all times interested in Fairview
are asked to co operate and make
any suggestions that may aid the
committee to properly and satis-j
factorily direct and plan the
work. Those of our citizens)
who own homes in town are en-
titled to a lot free of cost. We
suggest the propriety of making
a selection now, while desirable
lots may be had. The rules pass-
ed by the City Council govern-
ing the purchase oj lots by non-
residents may be known by re-
feringtothe records.
We hope to have many new
names added to the Association.
Fairview may be made a beauti-
ful place. The Association has
done much for it, but much re-
mains to be done, and tl help of
the entirt town is needed
