Our Mexican Policy Domestic problems have overshadowed interest in the Mexican situation, which again has become so vexing, that the average patriot is forced to wonder whether the government really believes an American is entitled to protection when he is domiciled on foreign soil. Our citizens have been murdered with impunity and seeming disregard of international law by Mexican bandits. The criminal seemingly believes he is entitled to immunity, and the civil officials, if there be any in the southern republic, do not worry about arresting and punishing him. Mexicans seem to have little respect for Americans, their property rights and lives. One murder follows another in quick succession. Diplomatic exchanges of notes follow the outrages, and the incident presently is forgotten. The time has come when our government must adopt a policy sufficiently energetic to convince Carranza that the life of an American is a tacred possession which cannot be taken without incurring the wrath of a powerful nation. The American people have watched the progress of affairs below the Rio Grande with com

placent indifference for many months. Irrespective of all other factors entering into the Mexican situation, the American people are united in demanding that the lives of our citizens in that republic be safeguarded. The Mexicans must be taught a wholesome respect for the sanctity of American citizenship. Cost Increases on Farms The farmer who owns his land free of indebtedness needs enough to pay interest on his inr vestment, taxes and upkeep or costsof maintenance. How these items of "land cost" have increased of late is shown in the following figures collected from the books of farmers who have kept cost account records in co-operation with

the department of farm management of the Uni-

versity of Missouri College of Agriculture. The results, as set out in a bulletin of the university, are given verbatim:

"The upkeep or maintenance cost an acre on!

this group of Missouri farms was : 72 cents in 1914, 80 cents in 1915, 65 cents in 1916, and one dollar in 1917. This expense is made up of the cash outlay during the year for repairs on fence, tile drains and other real estate, the man and horse labor used in making the repairs and the use of equipment for such work. "Taxes and interest were about as follows: .$5.67 in 1914, $6.30 in 1915, $6.93 in 1916, and $7.88 in 1917. This allows 6 per cent interest on investment and is on land that was valued at about $90 an acre in 1914 and $125 in 1917. "The total cost an acre was: $6.39 in 1914, $7.10 in 1915, $7.58 in 1916 and $8.88 in 1917. On this basis the 1918 cost would be $10 an acre or more. While the cost of maintenance has increased, the largest factor in the increase has been the increase in price of land."

What's in a Name?

Facts about your name; Its history; Its meaning; whence It was derived; Its significance; your lucky day and lucky jewel. BY MILDRED MARSHALL

(Copyright. 1919, by The Wheeler Syndicate. Inc.) LAURA Laura, which is generally conceded to be best suited to women of meek and gentle mien, should by right of derivation, signify victor, since it not only means, but comes from the laurel, sign of the conqueror. However," its derivation is somewhat devious and rather more poetic. The real root of Laura is in Roman mythology where the lares were the spirits which guarded the home and were represented by images placed near the hearthstone. On certain re

ligious occasions, these images were adorned with crowns of laurels or evergreen. Finally there appears a Roman deity called Lara or Laurentia, sometimes spelled Laurendla. Greek mythology made poor Laurentia a nymph, whom, because of her chattering, Jupiter sent to the lower regions, accompanied by Mercury. Another tradition makes her the woman who nursed Romulus and Remus and disposes of her and the she-wolf simultaneously. Still a third version degraded her like Flora, who was once a goddess in wTiose honor spring festivals were given, and made her leave all her property to the state in the time of Ancus Martius. Laura's flower, the laurel with its cool chaste bloom, has peculiar powers. It dispels contagion In time of plague and in Italy its boughs are thrown on the fire during a thunderstorm. The Italians have always loved the name, due perhaps to that most exquisite love story of history. Petrarch's Laura has a place among

the immortals. They call her Lorenza in Italy as well as Laura. Ilerjewel Is the emerald, the color of the heart of woodland. It is said to have the mystic power to strengthen the eyesight of its wearer and when it could not protect from danger, old superstition has It, that a piece would break from the gem. Monday is Laura's lucky day and 2 her lucky number. An extract from a charming poem written to Laura by Edward Stedman follows : "Laura, my darling, the years that have flown Brought few of the prizes I pledged to my own; I said that no sorrow should roughen her way Her life should be cloudless, a long summer's day. Shadow and sunshine, thistles and flowers, Which of tiie two, darling, most have been ours? Yet tonight, by the smile on your lips

I can see You are dreaming of me, darling. dreaming of me."

accident last week due to carelessness with explosives. At a social held by the Evangelical church, at Wading River, Mr. Abner T. Priddy, a prominent citizen, went to sleep and uncon: sclously. leaned up against a hot stove. He was wearing his celluloid collar at the time, and the explosion resulted in the loss of Mr. Priddy's full beard. Wide Awake Hose Company put him out in record time, but not before several had fainted and others were overcome by the smoke. It does seem as there has been so much war lately that people would learn how to handle explosives.

Patrick's knees, in fact, knocked together to such an extent that they affected his aim. "Look here!" he said at last to his opponent. "Will you, as a favor, allow me to rest my leg against this milestone to steady myself?" "Yes," said the other man, trying hard to control his fears, "if you'll allow me to rest my leg against the next!" In the counting house of a city office, usually closed at 6 o'clock, the office hoy had been known, like others of that fraternity, to occasionally forget to do those things which he ought to have done, and the manager had at last to impress upon him the advisability of making a note of anything on a memorandum form and keeping it in a conspicuous place as a reminder. The other day a piece of paper was

noticed pinned to the wall in front of ,

the lad's desk, and, upon examination, it was found to hear the following: "Memorandum. Leave at C."
