The bandit raids indicate that the Obregon government is not giving sufficient protection even in the valuable Tampico oil district. No further steps aside from the des patch of tlie notes are expected from the state department until a reply received either from the Mexican government or Summerlin and Shaw. The Mexican government undoubt edly will deal effectively with the situation. one official said. The state department will follow precedents in the Cortez and Bielanski cases, it was stated. Usually the private concerns or individuals affected pay the ransom demands and then th" state department makes representations to the Mexican government for the return of Hie money. There is little* likelihood that the two latest incidents will call for a show of force by the United States unless the Mexican government should assume a lax attitude in running down the haffdits. 1 ' .

LINN GROVE AND BERNE TELEPHONE EXCHANGE* MAY BE COMBINED INTO ONE OFFICE The Citizen's Telephone Co. is figuring on the cost of putting up a telephone cable between Berne and Linn Grovo and eonsidering the advisibility of such a move. If the cable should be put up It would eventually mean that the Linn Grove exchange FVJlld be absorbed by the Borne office. There are nearly 175 rural and town telephones on the Linn Grove exchange and if the system would tie linked up with Berne, it would make quite au addition to the Berne lines. The matter at this time is, how- ’ ever, still very indefinite. Whether the cable will be erected depands upon the cost of installation. JUDGE LAHR BAYB ABSENT MINDED HUSBANDS ARE IN LOVE BUT NOT WITH WIVES 1 ■ - Indianapolis, June 26. —Women! Beware of an alisent-minded husband. He's in love with someone —audit's not you. Judge Frank Ixihr, who handed out thia lesson in psychology, has been studying men aud women for years from the juvenile bench. "When a man looks absentmindedly at his wife mid gives h<’i a short answer, lie isn't seeing her or hearing what she says—he's seeing the Other Woman.” quoth tho Judge. "Men stumbble more readily than women. Give a man half a chance to fall in love, and nine times out of ten lie does it. “It Isn’t safe to let him live in a neighborhood whore he is exposed to emptations. for he has mighty little power to resist them. "And 1 don’t want any of these wives to get the idea when friend husband iocs fall for some other woman, it is ■ntirely tho other woman's fault ami hat her husband is merely the helpless victim. Most wives are inclined to take that view of the matter. I find. "But, you put it down as a sact —no woman falls in love with a post. Even the worst of them need encouragement, and you can believe most of them get it, too.”
