Tragedy
Carranza, good will flyer, has pass-
ed to his reward. And in the very
midst of mourning for the brave fly-
er, citizens of both Mexico and the
United States were shocked by the
news of the assissination of General
Obregon. Mexico has lost two of its
finest, two great souls whose lives
were an inspiration and an incentive
to noble thoughts and deeds.
The honors paid to Carranza in New
York were impressive and beautiful
While airplanes cruised the skies over
head, a long, solemn funeral proces
sion marched the streets. Thousands
of American military men marched
with slow, measured tread in tribute
to the great aviator, while many more
thousands watched, hats in hand, eyes
dimmed with tears. The sun burnt
schorchingly upon New York that day
On and on moved the procession, with
slow, measured tread, to the music of
Chopin's funeral march, unmindful of
the burning heat. All New York
thought that day only of the young
hero whose achievements had fired the
imagination of two lands.
America and Mexico have wept to
gether over the tragic deaths of Car
ranza and Obregon. The tears of a
common grief have brought, we be
lieve, Mexico and America closer to
each other tlmn they have ever been
Carranza's good-will flight was a
beautiful tribute 10 thi? country, a
magnificent gesturo of international
friendship. His untimely death har
caused great sorrow; he shall be en
shrined forever in our hearts and in
the hearts of his countrymen.
From Farm to City
Discusion continues on what many
consider a major national problem—
the migration from farms to cities of
experienced farmers. Some hold that
eventually the fool supply will be
considerably reduced because of this

migration, and (bat this wjlil cause
greatly increased prices and perhaps
endangering the welfan of the people.
May we quiet these alarmists by
pointing out that while the movement
from farms to cities still continues,
it has, accordling to recent statistics,
considerably abated ?
On the other hand the number of
persons leaving thj cities for the
farms is constantly increasing.
In other words, the exodus from
farms to cities may cease to be a
matter of great concern. No matter
what rumors may float ibout, actual
figures show that the tendency of peo-
ple to move away from the farms is
decreasing rather than increasing.
It is true that many experienced
farmers go to cities in the quest for
easier means of earning money, or to
give their children the benefit of the
educational facilities of the metro-
politan centers.
However, there has Deen so much
improvement in the educational and
recreational facilities of small towns
and farm districts that already the
movement to large municipalities is
somewhat checked. As rural I'ife be-
comes more atractive, fewer persons
will leave the rural districts. The
solution of the problem lies in making
farm life more interesting.
W. C. T. U. NOTES
By EMILY BURTON
(Press Agent)
The last number of the Union Sig-
nal, July 21, 28 notes a call for the
54th Annual Convention of the Na-
tional Women's Christian Temperance
ITnio nto meet in Tremont Temple,
Boston, Mass., for the hearing of re-
ports of officers and the election of
Officrs, and the transaction of business
that may properly come before the
convention.
''The Convention will follow the No-
vember election. Let us hope that
' hen we meet it will be to celebrate
lie triumph of prohibition, endorsed
by the ballots of the men and women
who believe that Prohibition is the
best method of dealing with the liquor
traffic."
The Signal also gives part of the
address of Anna Adams Gordon be
fore the 13th Congress of the World';
Women's Christian Temperance Un
ion, at Lanssanne, Switzerland."
Mrs. Gordon is preisdent of this Un
ion and the address is so full of truth
and encouragement for the triumph
the great and good cause, it is to be
regretted that it cannot be preached
from every pulpit in the land, Meth
odist, Baptist, Presbyterian, till all
have proclaimed the good news.
Miss Gordon divides her address
into several headlines—the first:
"We are winning in the Educational
Field."
Second. "We are winning in the
Field of Legislation."
Third. "We arc winning wider rec
ognition of women."
Fourth. "We are winning World
Peace."
Fifth. "We are winning in our 'Do
Everything' Policy." Under this head
ing, Miss Gordon says:
"The World's W. C. T. U. is broad in
its policies, and in its program. Three
years ago, at our Edinburgh Congress
we broadcast this message to the wo-
men of all lands:
Recognizing that the World is but
a larger home and that women in a
largo sense are conservators of the
home and family we memoi-ialize the
women of every land:
1. To study the effects of alcohol
which science finds to be a racial poi-
son."
"To unite with us in voluntary
abstinence from all alcoholic bever-
ages, and in all well considered efforts
to limit or prohibit their manufacture
and sale."
3. "To unite our efforts for the pro-
tection of the home, the promotion of
purity and the end of all war."
How can bootleggers hope to win
against sentiments like these put into
organized action?

THE BEST CONDI-
TIONS FOR WORK
I suppose any writing man or any
successful man is constantly in receipt
of letters asking him about his per-
sonal habits. The correspondents all
want to know under what conditions
he does his work best. They even in-
quire as to what he eats and what kind
of clothes he wears.
One of these correspondents once
wrote to Bill Nye, asking what clothes
he wore and how he dressed. He an-
swered, "In the morning I wear morn-
ing dress and in the evening I wear
evening dress and at night I wear
night dress."
About the best rule for doing your
best work is to find those conditions
that suit you best, wherein the brain
functions most effectively. What these
conditions are varies in the case of
different people.
Flie Metchinkoff, the little Russian
Jew who became one of the most fam-
ous "microbe hunters" and discovered
that in the human body are cells hos
tile to disease microbes, said he could
always carry on experiments best
when pretty girls were close by. In
your case, however, this kind of sur-
roundings might have a disturbing
effect.
Paul Ehrlich, another experimenter,
used to have the grind-organ musi
cians play dance music outside of the
laboratory. ' He said that his best
ideas came when he heard gay music
like that.
siastically about the benefit of a brisk \
outdoor walk. Many other people can- j
not think while walking.
Schubert scratched oiV soma of his [
best songs at odd moments. One of :
his famous pieces was jotted down on '
the back of thr bill of fare of a beer
garden as he waited for a friend.
So the best tiling to do is to not to j
imitate somebody else, but to find
the time when your own thoughts f.'.>w i
with the greatest ease and then work ;
hard. i
