General White, who was in the
neighborhood of the battery ot 155

accident, 1s determined to push
the matter through, and is using
as precedent for bis demands, the
provisions of the v.ar risk insur

During tho war $10,000 was
paid to the nearest of kin of men
killed or who died in the service,
either nt home or abroad. In
presenting the claim to the gov

tout thut the men were at camp

a government cannon under fed

explosion and their nearest rel

Corporal Clyde R. Dlndinger, who

and Mrs. C. W, Faley, reside at
Ashland.
Copies of the request were fur

be made under existing laws, Mr.
White said that he would use

Villa received one of the great
est ovations of his career as be
rode back to San Pedro. A crowd
of 3000 rushed to the plaza when
the town learned he was coming,
and welcomed him with lusty
"Vivas."
Forcing his way through the
throng and bowing right and left,
Villa was nearly overcome with
his emotions. He finally was
moved to make a very eloquent
speech, which was wildly cheered.
The main theme of bis speech was
that the people ought to forget
politics and return to work. He
said be had set a good example,
Villa was the center of a joyous
celebration during the day. He
und his men were lionized. It was
la semi-holiday. Bunds paraded
the plaza, playing the old Villa
revolutionary song, ill which Villa
is represented as boasting he will
net the whiskers of Carranza and
make himself a garment out of

however, that efforts by the adjutant-general

PREPAREDNESS.
' Are you prepared to extinguish
that little blaze when it is first
j discovered? Sooner or later it
.will start and you will need ull
your resourcefulness to know what
to do quickly In order to handle
the situation. A litle forethought
und preparation may mean the dif
ference between success and de
feat between saving the house
and losing It.
By forethought, I mean atten
tion to the practices nf fire nre-

from getting started und by pre
paration I mean tbe study of ex
tinguishing agents, und the pro
vision of some effective kind of
fire extinguisher. Every shop,
factory and store should be pro
tected by fire extinguishers and
every home should have at least
one In condition for use.
Only by anticipating and pre
paring for things rre we able to'
successfully meet them. When an!
army goes forth to battle does It
go in a careless, shiftless man

go fully drilled and equipped, pre
