WHERE IS DIOGENESE?
- HERE'S HONEST MAN
CANDIDATE ADMITS HE GAVE
FACE CREAM AND OPEN-WORK
HOSE TO “PLUMP WIDQWS.”
ST. LOUIS. Mo.—Boy, page Dio
genes! An honest man has been
found at last. And the proof of his
honesty is now in the records of the
house of represenatives. He is G. H.
Foree, of the Tenth Missouri district,
who was defeated in the democratic
primary in this state for congress.
“The total cost to get double
crossed—s236.6B,” is the final pithy
line in the list of expenditures made
by Mr. Foree, which also lists *“‘open
work hose for plump widow’ - and
“face cream for fascinating blonde.”
Intimate details of a campaign,
such as made public by Mr. Foree,
are not within the memory of the
oldest employe of the house, and his
frankness may be used as a tip by
both parties in the handling o? the
suffrage vote.
Calls Attention to Items.
In order to make sure that no one
would overlook his prize items, Mr.
Foree wrote on the outside of his
sworn statement: ‘Note carefully
items on page 2.”” Those included:
Aug. I—For professional services
of a tonsorial artist in shaping the
sandy whiskers of an influential son
of Erin, 35 cents.
Aug. I—Postage on twenty-five
letters sent to influential men in my
district telling them that I was trust
ing to the kindness of the people
and the merey of God to elect me.
Both failed; 50 cents,
Aug. I—Photograph of myself that
resembles Jeff’s partner, Mutt, $1.50.
Aug. I—A cut made from above
photograph that may make one think
that the Almighty had a spite on the
human race, $6.

ATLANTA, 6a.—The state’s tax
rate for 1920 has been fixed at 5
mills by order of the governor and
comptroller general. This is the max
imum limit allowed by the constitu
tion and all of it is needed to pay
the appropriations made by the leg
islature last year and this yéar.
It is estimated that the taxable
values of he state for 1920 will show
an increase of $180,000,000 over
1919. An increase of that amount
would make a grand total of $l,-
325,000,000 on the tax digest.
Whether a tax rate of 5 mills applied
to this aggregate value plus other
revenue from other sources will
yvield a revenue sufficient tol pay
appropriations for 1920 is a doubt
ful question.

'GUAJARDO. WHO SLEW ZAPA
' TA, HIMSELF BETRAYED AND
, IS PUT TO DEATH.
. MONTEREY, Mexico.—Gen Jesus
' Guajardo, who treacherously tricked
and slew the wily rebel leader,
Emiliano Zapata, himself fell a vic
tim of deception when he was cap
tured by government troops and ex
ecuted here July 18 last.
Thirteen months ago Guajardo, a
colonel in Carranza’s army, attacked
a detachment of his own faction’s
troops, killed and wounded several
of them and convinced Zapata that
he had a new adherent. Then, as
Zapata greeted him in salute, he
had ordered his men to fire on Za
pata and the noted rebel chief was
blown out of his saddle, dead. ;
To reward this act Carranza made
the double dealer a general, and a
little over a year later he turned
upon his benefactor and joined the
successful revolution of Obregon and
de la Huerta,
After many misgivings they ac
cepted him as a general in the new
army, and gave him the command
of a brigade and he started for Tor
reon on a campaign against Villa.
While en route he stopped his trains,
assembled his regimental command
ers and explained that he had resolv
ed ‘“not to recognize” the de Ila
Huerta regime any longer but to
go into the field for the newest rev
olution and join Ozuna Ricardo Gon
zales and the others fighting to the
eastward around Monterey. But sev
eral colonels, his chief-of-staff and
half his command deserted him.
Finally Guajardo abandoned the
trains and started to march for the
mountains of Nuevo Leon. Soon he
learned that Amaro, leaving the
chase of Villa for the time, was on
his track and that the risings around
Monterey had been failures. The
remnant of his command melted
away under attacks of government
troops until there remained only
one faithful colonel and an orderly.
Dressed in civilian clothes, Gen.
Guajardo hid in the home of a rela
tive in Monterey.
Meanwhile Col. Anotonio Cano,
one of Guajardo’s eolonels who had
abandoned him, had been captured
by federal troops, taken to Monterey
and released there. Next day Col.
Cano called at the house where Gua
jardo was hiding to visit the owner,
who also was his relative. To his
surprise he found there his late com
mander, Gen. Guajardo, who asked
him not to reveal his whereabouts.
Cano, however, revealed Guajardo’s
hiding place, an order for his arrest
was issued, and with several other
eolonels Cano was sent to execute it,
Cano was admitted to see Gua
jardo and pretended to unfold to
him plans for the future. While they
were talking thé federal colonels en
tered and arrested Guajardo. He was
taken a prisoner to the state peni
tentiary.
Orders came from Mexico City di
recting that he should be tried by
courtmartial, which was done that
night, July 17. With practically no
defense to offgr, he was found guil
ty, the sentence was approved by
General of Division Eugenio Marti
nez at Monterey, and, early in the
morning Gen. Jesus Guajardo stepp
ed out of his quarters in the old
barracks at the Plaza de Armas,
where he had been tried, and said
farewell to a few faithful friends.
Then he stepped in front of the
firing squad and paid with his life
the final penalty of his treachery to
the new government.

AMERICUS, Ga.—Notwithstand

compared with $9,572,936 in 1919/
or an increase of approximately $2,-

state tax commissioner, has written
‘George D. Jones, county tax receiv

necessary to bring Sumter up to a
level with other counties in Georgia.
The letter accompanied Mr. Full

check of the Sumter county digest
sent him several days ago.
Mr. Fullbright’'s letter has been
refered to the Sumter county board
of tax equalizers, and it is said they
will oppose making any further in

that the county board will refuse

BIRTH OF BABY WINS
ESTATE OF TWO MILLIONS
Money to Charity If Brewer's
Daughter Was Childless at 25.
LOUISVILLE, Ky.—The birth of
Jean Elizabeth Bartlett presents her
mother and herself with $2,000,000
and settles a bitter court fight.
C. P. Moorman, weaithy brewer,
left a will such as fiction writers at
tribute to their wealthy characters.
It provided that the $2,000,000 es
tate was to go to charity if his
granddaughter did not give birth to
a child before she was 25 years old.
The will also provided a life an
nuity and $225,000 in cash for the
granddaughter. The heiress was not
satisfied, but was prevented from
suing to break the will by another
stipulation which automatically elim
inated any contesting beneficiary.
The young heiress was married to
Lieut. Phillip Farnsworth Bartlett.
The wedding and honeymoon to the
Orient cost $25,000, which the
bride’s mother paid.
The mother’s request that the
trustees pay the wedding bill was re
fused. This was taken to the courts
and the trustees won,
When the granddaughter became
of age she was offered $15,000 life
annuity. SHe refused. They increas
ed the offer to $25,000. She still re
fused, and plans were being made
for suit,
The baby was born in Silver City,
N. M. The mother will hold the
$2,000,000 in trust for the child.
Wor? Takes Off

The lives of most women are
full of worry. Men’s troubles are
bad enough, but women’s are
worse. Worry makes women sick.
It pulls them down, and in-their
weakened condition they are sub

nesses that are peculiar to the sex.
Most women neglect their
health, and for this neglect they
pay the penalty. If a woman asks
