OX THE BOKDEK.
It is Idle to dodge tho truth about
the border, from the Gulf of Mexico
to the Pacific. Serious fighting
may begin there at any hour.
Ia several places the adherents
of Huerta are still in coutrol. That
is true of tho entire frontier oi>- j
posite California. It is so in sev
eral points across the Rio Grande
from Texas, in these districts the
Mexican troops are folio vers of the
dictator in power at tho capital of
their country.
Where the so-called "Constitu
tionalists" are in command of the
Mexican territory on the frontier
the situation is a little less critical,
but It cannot be considered free
from danger. Has not Villa come
up" 600 miles from Torreon to
Jaurez, across the river from
El Paso? Have not the "Car
ranzaistas'' strengthened their gar
rison In Jaurez far beyond the
ptint required by any possible
movement of Huerta's soldiers?
All along the border there is
much ill feeling between individual
Americans and Mexicans. The
Mexicans are suspicious and the
Americans contemptuous. B0M1
are convinced, in many cases, that
war is near -wherever the two
countries are in contact.
it Is well that tho President h :s
ta.dily stopped the exportation of
arms and ammunition to any part
of Mexico. It is also sound policy
wljich directs the strengthening, of
Aiucrican garrisous and i>atrols
along the border.

The "clean-up" campaign begun
in this town has brought with it a
marked lucrease in the interest
shewn in spring gardening. Where
dirt goes flowers are often planted.
The removal of rubbish Is followed
by the sowing of seed.
This is as natural as the effect of
any other change for t'ie better.
Every forward stop makes the next
e;.3ier. All gains open the way to
further advances. Pride 'u a clean
yaid is the natural source of new
interest ju its possibilities as a
source of beauty and pleasure.
Often a concerted effort is a valu
: !.e stimulus to dormant individual
ambitions. The good example of
neighbors spurs many a household
to set its premises in order. One
experiment in that direction bears
! ruit in other forms of progress. The
standard of citteenship is raised by
a general campaign for greater
cleanliness and more civic beauty.
The finest kind of pri-.le In Skag
way is that which prompts earnest
efforts to make the town still more
worthy of the loyalty and admira
tion of i:s own people. The stronger
such enthusiam for the town grows
ENGLISH DISCUSS
CITY PLANNING
Loudon, May 20—For the purpose
o; exchanging knowledge on ques
tions of national health aud social
conditions, delegates from all
British "doniuions beyond the^eas"
met here today with representatives
o£ the British Isles in general con
ference at the Imperial Institute.
This conference, which will contin
ue in session for three 'ays, is to
bj divided into two main sections,
to discuss housing and town plan
ning, and (he care of child life com
mittees will formulate reports on
garden cities and suburbs, work
men's houses, and model dwelling,
i» fancy and health, the school child,
and the child as a wage earner.
An interesting exhibition is being
h< Id in conjunction with the con
ference "o illustrate the subjects
under discussion, at which are
shown models, plans, and diagrams
of real undustrial towns, clothing,
systems o* diet, plans of schools,
s:.tety appliances, health statistics,
kmdorgurdens, and nurseries. Lord
Robert Cecil presided at the opening
session of the conference, and the
chairmanship of later sessions will
Ij taken in turn by Sir Edward
Cook, Trot. Michael Sauler, and
Ilcnry Vivian.

Gash year finds the farmer more
oi a mechanic, as machine after I
machine appears to take the place
of the decreasing supply of manual
labor. The up-to-date farm now has
it i machino shop and farmer ma
chinist. The farmer compiling that
for five years past he has been
obliged constantly to purchase new
labor-saving machinery. On ihe other|
hand, had it not been 'or these
new inventions, many would have
b*en obliged to go out oi business.
The latest thing is steam-cured
hay, which makes the farmer inde
pendent of cloudy or raluy weather
in haying time. The grc?n grass is
hauled to the hay factory, unloaded
at one end of the plant r.ud, 30
minutes later, emerges at -he other
end perfectly cured, ready for the
barn or bale press. In case of rain.
a canvas cover insures arrival at
ti e barn without wotting. The £arm
e. has about given up h's time
hoLor^d trip to the "grist mill,"
and hero comes the hay mill. Fre
quent showers make goo'l grass,
bo* much of this Is rulnol in the
process of sun-drying. The steam
drier is independent cf weather
and moreover turns out a better
pioduct, and can work nights. Maud
Mullor might get a job checking the
load, but there Isn't verv much
romance about watching the steam
gpuge and a lot of convenor belts.
