NEW REVOLUTION IS GAINING
Oil Fields at Tampico Protected by
Four Thousand Men in Pay of
Foreigners—Railways Cut.
Washington, D. C.—German officers
are serving with the armies of General
Carranza and General Villa in Mexico.
Information to this effect has reached
the State department.
As Carranza
and Villa are enemies, it would seem
that the Germans would offset each
other. If, however, the anti-Ameri
can sentiment should force co-opera
tion by Carranza and Villa—the situa
tion German agents desire—the Ger
man officers would act together in
operations against the United States.
The State department also has been
informed that a new revolution is
making headway in Mexico. The
Tampico oil fields are “protected” by
4000 men, whose chief is well paid by
the foreigners owning and producing
the oil. This is in addition to the ex
port tax paid to Carranza.
Were the Tampico chief supplied
with ammunition, it would be a com
paratively easy matter for him to cap
ture Vera Cruz. He needs cartridges,
but the embargo applied by the United
States prevents him from getting
them.
There is another revolutionary force
in the state of Oaxaca which is ar
ranging to co-operate with that in the
Tampico district.
If the junction
takes place Carranza will be faced by
a large body of men in addition to
Villa’s army and the troops under Gen
eral Zapata. Railroad connection be
tween Vera Cruz and Mexico City is
frequently cut by the Zapatistas, and
it is no longer safe to go from one
point to the other.
The administration strongly desires
to avoid being drawn again into Mex
ico, but it is realized that there is a
grave danger point which may become
menacing as a result of activities of
German agents.
Salem — The legislature adjourned
sine die at 2:30 o’clock Tuesday morn
ing.
At 12:30 the joint conference com-
mittee from the house and senate
agreed on all disputed points in the
$6,000,000 road bonds bill.
A few minutes later both houses
concurred.
The bill is now in the
hands of the governor.
The joint conference committee was
composed of Senators Orton, Shanks
and Vinton, and Representatives Rit-
ner, Schimpff and Laurgaard.
With only four dissenting votes the
$6,000,000 road bonds measure, amend
ed to provide for its submission to the
people at a special election next June
4, passed the senate at 5:20 o’clock
Monday.
The house passed the senate’s spe
cial election bill. The house amended
the bill, however, so that the normal
school question and the proposal to
build a $200,000 home for delinquent
children, both of which were referred
to the people by legislative resolu
tions, will not be voted upon by the
people until the regular election in No
vember, 1918.
Salem — Both house and senate
agreed to the Forbes amendment to
the delinquent tax bill, which went
through the house with a heavy vote.
The bill, as amended by Forbes, will
become a law in time to regulate the
publication of delinquent taxes next
year. It is too late to become effec
tive this year.
Attorneys in the house agree that
the act is the most scientific and the
most economical in effect in any state
in the Union. Forbes gave the sub
ject careful attention for several
weeks while he had the bill in the ju-
diciary committee, of which he is
chairman.
In brief, the meausre provides that
90 days after the taxes become delin-
quent notices shall be mailed to the
delinquent property owners by letter
or postcard.
Then 30 days will be allowed for
them to respond.
Those who make
their payments in that time will be
stricken from the delinquent rolls.
Property that remains delinquent at
the expiration of this 90-day period
will be advertised in newspapers se
lected by the county commissioners.

sia— Their Part in History.
Traveler
in
"Few persons who have followed
the progress of the European war. and
particularly the part Russia has played
in the struggle, know the origin of the
Cossacks, who have played an impor-
tant part in all the battles,” remarke I
H. A. Bryant of New Mexico, a world
traveler, who recently came back from
several months spent in Russia. "Cos-
sack is a Tartar word. In the sixteenth
century the term was used all over
Russia to designate floating labor. In
Moscow mercenary soldiers were
called Cossacks. In southwestern Rus
sia the Little Russians made serfs by
the Polish gentry known us Shliachta
escaped into the steppes to the so-
called Ukraina, where they organized
into bands to fight the invading Tar-
tars, and there originated the Little
Russian Cossack.
"The Cossacks constitute the most
loyal body of men the emperor has to
this day. It was told in the lust revo
lution that an ultimatum was sent to
the Jews by the Cossacks to the effect
that if they did not discontinue their
agitation aguinst the czar the Cossacks
would march against them 500,000
strong and annihilate them. This dec-
lurution hud its effect, and while some
few soldiers mutinied, no Cossack was
found wanting. The Cossacks are the
backbone of Russia ; take them away
and Russia would almost go to pieces.
Socially the Cossacks are delightful,
big-hearted people, hospitable and jol
ly. In many ways they resemble the
cowboys as they were 20 years ago In
the West. Like the cowboys, they are
excellent shots, even better riders,
though they cannot handle a lasso at
all.”
Icelandic Conditions.
Iceland, which has just resumed di
rect commercial relations with us,
after centuries during which no Ice
landic ship ever visited our shores,
furnishes an example of what can be
done by a determined people under ad
verse physical conditions.
It has a
short growing season, not much soil
and little feed for cattle, yet Its peo
ple live lives of singular freedom and
on the whole are among the happiest
on the globe. There is no national
debt, no paupers, no saloons, and, ac
cording to the Christian Herald, the
schools and churches are prospering,
while libraries are well patronized and
education is highly valued. Because
of lack of raw materials the island
can never hope to become a manufac
turing community and its people never
will be rich in the accepted sense of
the term, but they are contented. The
purpose of the recent visit of an Ice
landic ship to American shores was
to develop a market for fish caught in
northern waters, the war having had
an adverse effect on the market in
Europe.
Iceland is now the only
place in the world where the ancient
Norwegian is spoken, that language
having remained practically unchanged
since it was taken there by the early
settlers some nine centuries ago.
Bleaches Ruin Fabrics.
Experiments carried out by Doctoi
Faragher at the University of Kansas
on various methods of laundering col
lars prove that alkalies when used in
proper proportions do only slight dan-
age to the fabric provided proper rius
ing follow their use.
The greatest damage Is done by
bleaches and acids. Chlorine bleaches
injure wool and silk, but hydrosul-
phite of soda does no harm.
Dr. Herbert M. Shilstone, official
chemist of the Tri-State Launderers'
association, is quoted by the Scientific
American as telling his clients that
“the extensive use of oxalic acid in
power laundries has been the cause of
the slow adoption by the average house
wife of this class of service.”
The object of laundries that could
not use the sun ns a bleach was to
turn out white goods, and they chose
oxalic acid as the first substitute.
“It has taken years for you to
awaken to the fact that you have
been producing a nice white table-
cloth or collar. but that you were

and the men’s furnishers in disposing

Never Laugh at Your Child,
One of Four “Don’ts” That
Mothers Should Not Forget.
A few don’ts might well be conspi
cuously posted in many a mother's
mind.
Don’t consider it necessary to sys
tematically underrate your child. Your
adult friends will know you do not
mean it, but the child will not, and
probably more characters are weak
ened by the lack of self-confidence en
gendered by such a process than by the
vanity which follows the silly brag-
ging of overfond parents, writes Nellie
Foss Ford in Mother’s Magazine.
"Don't think that the moment you
are alone with your boy or girl you
must find fault or endeavor to 1m-
prove the occasion by a little moraliz
ing, no matter in how loving a spirit.
This is the hardest of all, for no one
is so anxious to help a child toward
perfection ns is its parent, yet It sure
ly leads to an avoidance of the mo
ments alone together, which should be
times of happy confidences.
Don’t correct the child before oth
ers. Never mind if a well-meaning
relative does say: "My dear. I am sur
prised that you do not show more
force of character; your children are
suffering from a lack of discipline.”
Pass the matter over until you and the
small offender can have it out alone.
If the circumstances are such that it
cannot be passed over, take him out
of the room.
Lastly, laugh often with, but never
nt, your child. This tnkes self-denial,
but It pays. Make up your mind that
whatever others may say, he can de-
perni upon you for a quick, sure un-
derstanding, without quibble or joke
at bls expense. This does not mean
that he must not take his share of
harmless fun. It Is wholesome, and
too much sheltering would make him
oversensitive, but the mother who lets
her child know that she never makes
fun of him will be surprised at the
confidence with which lie relies upon
It.

an adjacent state was coming home
the other morning when he heard a
terrific commotion behind him, and
when ho turned saw a horse racing to
ward him in a frenzy of fear. In the
spring wagon was a little boy of six
or seven and behind the swaying ve
hicle was a gray-haired man, evidently
the child’s grandfather, chasing the
runaway, says the Columbus (O.) Dis-
patch.
In an instant the farmer was out
In the middle of the road with his hat
whisked off his head, both arms gy-
rating In wide circles. The hat did
the work, for the farmer told folks aft-
erward that his mother had told him
that a horse would always stop at the
sight of a hat being whirled directly in
front of It. The animal came to a
stop within a few inches of the farmer,
who stood his ground. It was the
work of a few seconds to calm the
quivering animal, and soon the grand
father came up. He threw his arms
around the rescuer and fairly wept
for Joy.
