NACO, Ariz., Dec. Citizens of
Naco today sent out another appeal
for protection from the Mexican fire
from the siege of Naco, Sonora, just
across the line, which has killed five
and wounded forty-two persona on the
Arizona aide during the last two
months.
Telegrams concluding "for God's
Rake help us," were addressed to Arl.
cona's two United States senators,
Henry Ashurst and Marcus A. Smith.
. at Washington, and to United States
Senators Albert B. Pall of New Mexi-
co and William A. Smith of Michigan.
Action by the senate that will auto-
matically close ports on the Mexican
border whenever they become the
scene battle, is asked.
The messages were signed by O. N.
Brandon, as chairman of a citizens'
meeting called to devise some method
; df securing protection from the Mex-
,'lcpn bUllets and shells, Th«f itele-s,
Arams sent to Senator Ashurst .read
Hp part: '
•'Have appealed to Washington in
vain for some relief The citizens of
Naco now come to you, and ask you
to help us. For two months Mexican
factions have been fighting for pos-
session of Nb jo, Sonora. Mexican fac.
tions have deliberately used the bor-
der to-vns as a means of retreat, with-
out considering how many, American
lives were sacrificed.
"There Is no safety In the streets,
day or night and very little in the
house*. We suggest you introduce a
bill providing for automatically clos-
ing Mexican border ports when, they
become the battleground for foreign
factions, securing immediate passage,
if necessary. F^ve have been killed
and forty-two wounded, and the end
is not yet For God's sake help us."
I Conditions at Vera Cruz. /
Vera Cruz, Dec. 6.—General Car-
ranza in a decree makes white paper
free of duty beginning January 1.
» There have been 169 cases of yel-
low fever in Puerto Mexico in the last
ten days.
The water works at Tejar Is again
supplying this city and the campaign
against mosquitoes is well under way.
Considerable headway has been
made by the health department in get-
ting the city into a sanitary condition.
General Herlberto Jara, commander
of the garrison here, has issued a
proclamation which embraces the es-
sential features of the "suspension of
guarantees" provided for by the con-
stitution and which has been used by
every executive since 1910. Treason,
■edition and the propagation of sub-
■ervlslve ideaB are some of the of-
fenses mentioned which will meet with
summary punishment. The publica-
tion of false alarming news will be
punished by heavy fines and a second
offense will mean imprisonment.
It Is explained that in the case of
foreigners the right will be reserved to
expel them or to apply the prescribed
penalty to offenders.
Zapatistas Routed.

ITALY IS PHD
Fi EVENTUALITIES
ARMY FULLY, EQUIPPED AND
HEADY TO TAKE THE FIELD
IF HEED BE.
ROME, Dec. 6.—-"Today whoever
has doubted the fitness of our army,
whoever has Intended to expose the
vicissitudes traversed' for military
preparation, sins against the father-
land.''
Such was the declaration made in
the Italian chamber today by Pre-
mier Salandra, prior to the passage of
a resolution of confidence in the gov-
ernment.
The premier declared that the ac-
tion of some of the orators "In trying
to diminish the importance of our
country, is unpatriotic.""' He contln?
ued:
"The country agrees with the gov-
ernment that It will have its Interests
protected. I can repeat firmly that we
are determined to protect them. Fur-
ther I cannot say. The cabinet knows
and feels the terrible responsibility
upon it but needs full liberty of ac-
tlodi, approved by the chamber, with-
out which no government can rule the
qountry In this moment."
The premier's speech was constantly
interrupted by applause and ended
with an ovation.
Giovanni Glolitti, former premier, in
a speech announcing his approval of
the policy of the government, made a
most important declaration. He said
he thought it was necessary to em-
phasize that Italy should always be
loyal to treaties and added:
"X feel it my duty to recall a prece-
dent showing how correct was the
interpretation of the alliance by the
government when the conflict began.
During the Balkan war on August 9,
1918, being absent from Rome, I re-
ceived the following telegram from
the late Marquis di SanGlullano," (the
late Marquis dl SanGutliano, at the
time referred to, minister of foreign
affairs):
"Austria has communicated to us
and to Germany that It is her inten-
tion to act against Servia defining
"such action as defensive and hoping
for an application of casus foederis'by
the triple alliance, which I consider
inapplicable. I am trying to agree
with Germany concerning efforts to
prevent Austrian action, but it may be
necessary to say clearly that we do
•not consider such eventual action as
defensive and, therefore, do not think
that there exists a casus foederis.
Please send a telegram saying whether
you approve."
"I answered Marquis dl SanGulllano
thus:
"If Austria goes against Servia a
ctsus foederis evidently does not ex-
ist It is action she accomplishes on
her own account. It is not defensive
because nobody thinks of attacking
hir. It Is necessary to declare this
to Austria in the most formal manner,
hoping that Germany will act to dis-
suade Austria from a very dangerous
adventure.
"This was done and our Interpreta-
tion of the treaty was accepted by our
allies, our friendly relations not being
in the least disturbed. Thus the dec-
laration of neutrality made at the be-
ginning of this conflict is according
to the spirit and letter of the treaties.
I recall this incident, wishing to dem-
onstrate the complete loyalty of Italy
before the eyes of Europe."
Tha former premier was Interrupt-
ed at this point by great applause. He
concluded his address by urging the
maintenance of neutrality until the
necessity should arise to protect Italy's
rights.

How to Get to Our Yard
tOf course, we do not expect lumber wagons to come right
now, but now is a good time to consider Where to Buy when
the Time Comes.
All those farmers entering Temple by the main traveled
Oil Mill road, at the northeast corner of town, know where
we are. Those others who enter from west, south and north,
are advised to inquire the way to the old Central Texas Oil
Mill. Our yard is close, to the mill, on the Katy tracks.

Germans Aggressive in Poland.
London, Dec. 7.i—(2:47 a. m.)—De-
layed dispatches to the Daily Telegraph
from Petrograd indicate that th6 sit-
uation at Lodz on Friday, the day be-
fore the dispatches were filed, was
then serious.
"For the past three days," says
one of the dispatches, "the Germans
in Russian Poland, around Lodz, have
been strenuously aggressive. Their
wedge; which already has been driven
Into Russian Poland, la being pushed
with tremendous reinforcements. The
base of this wedge Is Thorn and
Kalicz. The apex Is Lowicz. This
gives the Germans control of all the
railroads In this triangle. They are
using the railroads to pour In an un-
ceasing stream of fresh trqops and
engines of war
"The enemy's plan around Lodz in-
volves the cutting of some of Warsaw's
most important lines of communica-
tion. The Germans plan to hold this
wedge all winter, Inaugurating an
elaborate trench warfare system like
that on the west front."

Paris, Dec. 6.—The Turkish cruiser

aged by a torpedo, managed with dif-
ficulty to get back to Constantinople
according to a Sebastopol dispatch re-
ceived by the Havas agency by way of
Petrograd. Competeht circles, the
same dispatch says, believe that the
Germans are transferring the center
of their operatfons tq the east and are

confining themselves on the western
front to a stubborn defense of the ter.
rltory occupied by them. Important
contingents of fresh troops arriving-
dally from the German central prov-
inces, would seem to confirm this
opinion. The lack of news from the
Turkish front is explained by the
rigors of the climate, this region being
situated st a height of nearly 10,000
feet, -the temperature averaging 25 de-
grees below zero. All Indications are
that there will be no serious operations
In this war theatre during the winter.
Desperate Conditions in Palestine.
New York, Dec. 6.—Passengers ar-
riving today on the steamer Kroon-
land from Naples included Maurice
Wertheim, son-in-law of Henry Mor-
genthau, United States ambassador to
Turkey; Mrs. Wertheim and Miss Ruth
Morgejithau, daughter of tlfe ambas-
sador."
Mr. Wertheim Is returning from a
mission to Turkey, during which he
was deputized to deliver the Jews in
Palestine a fund of fifty thousand dol-
lars raised for their reflet in the
United States.
Mr. Wertheim said that the money
for relief of the Jews was so distrib-
uted that the most good would come
from it.
"The conditions of Palestine is des-
perate," he added.
Fortifying Vienna.
Venice, via London, Dec. 6.—Ad-
vices received here from Vienna say
that the work of fortifying the capital
is proceeding rapidly. Several thou-
sand men are reported to be employed
In digging trenches.
Eighty-eight railway cars filled with
wounded men are said to have arrived
in Vienna one day last week. Among
the wounded was an Austrian general.
Bombardment of Cracow.

Russian staff officer today |b the
statement that according to official
news received at 4 o'clock this after-
noon a Russian force Is now bombard-
ing Cracow and Its suburbs from the
southeast. The officers added that
the Russians have left a sufficient
force in the interior of Poland to re-
pulse a renewal of Oertnan offensive
and that they will collect their forces
for an entrance Into Germany through
Cracow. The officer said that accord-
ing to the best information received
by him cholera Is severely ravaging
the I'rzemysl garrison.

SEEMS ASSURED
WILL EITHER BE PIPED INTO
TEMPLE OR WELLS WILL BE
SUKK IN THIS VICINITY.
Diamond tipped drills may soon be
boring their way into the bowels of
Bell county earth if the prediction of
Henry M. Wallace of Detroit, presi-
dent of the Temple Gas Light com-
pany, comes true.
Mr. Wallace declares that if it Is
possible to get natural gas in Temple
it will be done, even if it is necessary
for his company and the northern cap-
ital behind it, to start prospecting on
its own accord In the vicinity of this
city. Mr. Wallace is in Temple for a
few days Inspecting the local plant
which is one of three owned by his
company, the other two being located
at Waxahachle and Corpus Christi.
While In this state he will visit Mexia
with the object of learning the pros-
pects of piping natural gas to Waco
and then on to Temple.
This has been planned for some
time but there appears to be a hitch
In the proceedings. Within eighteen
months, if pipe lines are not laid Into
Temple, then Mr. Wallace will engage
his force of well diggers, go out into
the country somewhere near the out-
skirts of this city and proceed to dig
a hole in the ground out of which will
sprout material calculated to furnish
the housewife with cooking fuel and
the manufacturer with cheap power.
It Is reasonable to suppose that both
oil and gas abound in largo quantities
under Temple's very door-step, for
this section is in the so-called oil and
gas belt. According to reports some
prospecting is now going on in Bell
county, the results of which are not
available. But when the owners of the
Temple gas plant tako hold of the
proposition there is going to be some-
thing doing that can result In but one
thing, cheaper fuel for local con-
sumers.
Getting the Goods Out!
•'!
Whether or not the other grocerymen are getting their
goods out on time, we don't know, but our customers are
getting theirs.
This is a kind of of weather which ought to wake up the
people to the wisdom of supporting the institutions in their
own part of town. It is worth something to have a big Grocery
house in the neighborhood, and that value is increased when
it is demonstrated that the suburban grocery can sell goods
for less than the downtown corcern. W e do it, every day and
as a regular program.

TRAGEDY IN LOUISIANA.
Neighbors' Children Quarrel and
Deadly Duell Follows.
Brittany, La., Dec. 6.—John Cannon
and one of his sons, Warren Cannon,
are dead; William Cannon, another
son, Is probably fatally wounded and
Joseph and Edward Bayham, father
and son, are in jail, charged with the
killing, which occurred here today and
was a sequel to a fight Friday between
children of the Cannon and Bayham
families. They assert that when they
went to the Cannon home to discuss
the children's quarrel the elder Can-
non attempted to fire on them with a
shotgun and they drew their revolvers
and fired," killing the two men and
wounding the other.
, The sotjg, they declore, came to the
aid of the elder Cannon.
To Regulate Sale of
Habit-Forming Drugs
In the Health Reports issued by the
United States Public Health Service
this week there appears a discussion
and digest of recently enacted state
laws regulating the possession, use,
sale and manufacture of poisons and
habit-forming drugs. With them are
presented a compilation of the laws
and regulations on the subject recent-
ly enacted In thirty-two states.
This compilation of laws emphasizes
again the frequently made observation
that the average American has an
abiding confidence in the possible
value of statute law. It also suggests
that the laws relating to the manufac-
ture, sale and use of poisons, while
numerous, are not e^ectual largely
because of the* inability or unwilling-
ness of the proper authorities to en-
force them.
Much of the difficulty encountered
In enforcing laws relating to poisons
is due to the fact that we have as yet
no popularly acceptable definition for
a poison. Individuals generally feol
that they understand what Is meant by
"a poison," but efforts to satisfactori-
ly limit this meaning have signally
failed. This is so largely because of
the fact that by far the greater
amount of the material that may be
classed as poisonous Is seldom recog-
nized as being a menace to human
life.
Considerable Interest Is evidenced
at the present time In discussions on
the need for greater uniformity In
laws relating to the manufacture, sifle
and use of poisons or of articles that
may contain poisons, and the desira-
bility of having the various state laws
conform In their general requirements,
at least, to the corresponding require-
ments of federal laws.
It has been pointed out that the sev-
eral state food and drug laws while
following the same general pattern
usually differ to some extent and
while following the same general pat-
tern usually differ to some extent and
these differences particularly the par-
agraphs relating to the labelling of
preparations have come to be a con-
stant annoyance to the manufactur-
er, the jobber, and the retailer. The
jobber and the retailer are more di-
rectly interested as the manufacturer
having labelled his products In ac-
cordance with the federal law may
ship them Into any state regardless of
the special requirements of the state
law, thus making the other branches
of the trade liable in the event that
the goods do not comply to the pro-
visions of the local requirements.
Greater uniformity is also desired In
connection with the laws and regula-
tions designed to restrict the sale and
use of poisons, and manufacturers
and dealers doing on interstate busi-
ness are at the present time agitating
for the enactment of a national poison
law which would servo to provide reg-
ulations for interstate traffic and
would also tend to arouse renewed in-
terest in the nature and object, of
local laws and would possibly lead to
their more efficient enforcement.

THESE PARLOUS DAYS.

LONDON, Dec. 6.—The part which
King George is playing in the war is
pictured in the Daily Express as fol-
lows:
"A continuous round of increasing
activity, and a masterly of detail such
as might alarm even a great financier,
oomprise the present dally routine of
his Majesty the King.
"Often soon after six In the morn-
ing. the king Is busy In his study, and
by the time his advisers and helpers
appear, he has conned the despatches
anil documents of the early delivery,
mastered their contents and perhaps
made numbers of marginal notes in
readiness for the forthcoming con-
ference.
"The very sight Qf the contents of
the numerous dispatch boxes would
intimidate most men. Admiralty, war
office, home office and Indian office—
all contribute their daily quantum,
while from the govemnment comes a
tremendous amount of pressing busi-
ness which fan't be settled without the
king's sanction; but, happily, contro-
versial matters have sunk into oblivion
and there are no difficulties of this
sort to contend with.
"All the blue dispatch boxes are
taken to the palace by the recognized
special messengers of the various of-
fices. Every box is fitted with a pat-
ent lock to which only two keys are
provided, one for the use of the king
and his chief secretary and the other
for the minister or official from whom
the box comes. Then there are the
dispatches from the foreign powers—•
those from France and Bussia being
now particularly heavy—brought over
almost daily by the 'sliver greyhounds'
or king's messengers; and last, but by
no means least, the momentous and
weighty dispatches which are continu-
ally arriving from the front, supple-
menting the many cypher messages
from the commanders of the navy and
army.
"The problems continually arising
anent the war are many and great, but
nothing is to'o intricate for the king,
who insists on going into everything
and seeing that the mafds of the serv-
ices are grappled with by the business
heads of the various departments. The
number, qualification, equipment, and
locati<yi of the new army are all
known to his Majesty. In the same
way, he follows the fortunes of the
auxiliary branches of the naval serv-
ice, and he Is also able to quote par-
ticulars of our Indian and Colonial
aids to the colors at a moment's notice.
"With regard to the ever-changing
panorama as evinced by the long
struggle between the allies and the
Germans, there is a most perfect sys-
tem in use at Buckingham palace by
which disposition of the troops and
fleet can be seen at a glance by means
of elaborate plans aU'l maps as well as
models. A large saloon Is specially
set apart for the purpose, and to this
none have access but the king, his
chief private secretary and tha civil
and active heads of the navy and
army.
"The double doors of this depart-
ment are kept locked, and. with the
corridor approach, are guarded night
and day. The axact position of all
war craft, with names of vessels and
gun complement and other details is
shown on one plan, while another
shows the seat of war, with trenches,
forts, towns and disposition of all
troops, clearly designated.
"His Majesty IS also extremely solic-
tous as to the creature comforts of
his fighting forces, and making con-
tinual inquiries as to the supply of
food, clothes and the little extras that
go to the maintenance of their health
and spirits. The slljptest hint to any
special article of aJBarel is accepted,
and his Majesty'eHnvariable reply,
when anything oj®lde the scope of
the admiralty of \«Ir office is named,
is: 'I w-ill tell the queen.'"

cutter Itasca was ordered front Hamp-
ton Koads tonight to aid the war ves-
sel reported aground near Ocean City,
Md. No official record of the ground-
ing had reached the navy department.
The receipt of this dispatch satis-
fied navy officials that the stranded
vessel was not an American man oi
war. They declared that none of th*
navy's vessels could be in the vicinltj
of Ocean City.
The belief that it was a foreign ves-
sel was strengthened by the fact that
the ship had not reported the accident
to the department.
