Ameca district of this state. This
announcement was made here this
week by Chester P. Ray, president
OF the company, who stopped in
this city on his return to the States
after visit to the company's prop
critics.
Mexican Herald: The National
Railways of Mexico is making pre-
liminary arrangements for a big
school teachers excursion to Mex
leo, to be run from various sections
of the United States next June.
The idea is an outgrowth of per-
sistent campaign of education
among teachers and pupils of the
public schools of the United States,
waged for months by R. S. Cauvin,
publicity manager for the merged
lines.
Chihuahua Enterprise: News has
been received here that five of the
bandits who murdered and robbed
Alexandra and Rafael Mufoz at the
San Isidro ranch about 20 miles
from Parral, Chin, have been
captured. One OF them, Bartolo
Contreras, was captured by the
authorities of San Isidro. The
other four are said to have been
captured by the authorities of Villa
Ocampo, Durango. Their names
are given as Juan Barraza, Isidro
Espinosa and Anastacio and Luis
Holguin.
Jalisco Times: Within the next
thirty days 100 slot machines
money-paying machines, candy
selling machines, weight-registering
machines and moving picture ma
chimes will be running in Quad
alajara. The money-paying and
card-paying machines will be con-
fined to the cantinas, and the
others will be installed at various
places in the business section of the
city. The slot machines will be
put in and operated under a con-
cession granted by the state gov
eminent last year to A. H. Lovet,
now of Mexico City, and later
transferred to H. F. Virgins, of
this city.
Chihuahua Enterprise: Cover
nor Creel states that the reports of
the public and the private schools
of the state show grand total OF
$4,000 pupils in attendance. This
is an increase in round numbers OF
5000 over last year The public
schools are the special pride OF
Gov. Creel. The state of Chihua-
hua spends nearly 40 per cent OF
its revenues on its public schools.
This state has distinction of being
the first in Mexico to introduce the
system of mixed or coeducational
schools. This system was intro
duced about two years ago and
Gov. Creel has stated that it is
working out well.

The Flying Torpedo.

Wilbur Wrights show of his aero
plane to the Hudson-Fulton crowd is
taken as clearly demonstrating the
usefulness of the flying machine in
war. Wright flew over forts and war
ships, just as he planned. No one
doubts that but for an accident his
second fight would have been over
and under bridges, above and around
the tallest skyscrapers on Manhattan
Island. But the naval officers who
stood under the aeroplane for a few
seconds say that the warships have
nothing to fear from fighting aero
planes. When they sail high they
could not land missiles on the target,
and when they sail low naval marks
men will shoot them full of holes.
A fort presents better target than,
the warship. 1t is large and always
in one spot. But more perhaps than
the warship the fort is armored
against dropping missiles, especially
at it's vitals. Any protection lacking
can easily be supplied the moment
single fighting aeroplane makes good
When the aeroplane can carry up an
engineer to study and sketch the enc
my's lines it will become a factor in
military equipment to be feared. AS
flying torpedo boat the aeroplane
seems to have no great future, but it's
practicability as flying scout is fair

The usual advice to he farmer 10
stack his grain is now in order. OF
course the farmer will do as he pleas

i:ce, and will bear repeating. Grain
that is we'll stacked is comparatively
out of danger. And grain properly
stacked tends to improve while in The
k. OF course if it is in perfect
condition when stacked no improve
ment can be looked for, but if it is a
little soft, or a little bleached, or
little off in any way, stacking will in
most cases improve it. GGenerally
the small farmer can better afford to
stack than to wait for threshing
crew. But the average farmer will
thresh at the frs. opportunity, wheth-

stack, and it is undoubtedly wise for
him to do so. The sooner the grain
can be got into the bin the better
