GEN. DUNCAN Is GIVEN
FREE HAND ON BORDER

Washington, Nov. 20.-Determined
to stamp out filibustering expeditions
against Mexico, Secretary of War
Stimson today authorized General
Duncan, commanding the department
of Texas. to enforce the neutrality
laws with vigor and to move the
troops under his command within di-
visional limits without waiting orders
from the department. Secretary Slim
son also informed General Duncan
that he would not lack for all the
cavalry and infantry needed to pre-
vent the organization of expeditions
against Mexico. No additional troops
have yet been ordered to Texas, how
ever.
The Mexican officials doubled pre-
cautions after the arrest of Gen. Reyes,
fearing that the act might precipitate
trouble. The feeling of anxiety over
the situation spread in a modified de-
gree to the American side of the Rio
Grande. When daylight arrived and
It was possible for reporters to cross

bration.
Considerable significance is attached
TO the fact that the government has
deemed it wise to strengthen the force
occupying Juarez.

Second topic: To protect the hor-

states and foreign countries, such as
the. Mexican fruit maggot, the Medi-

| Third topic: To enable Florida

Professor Berger declared that if a

we would probably not have the white

state hundreds Of thousands of dol

was accorded at Sanford from to
$50 o'clock this morning, when sew
eral hundred of the Celery City's

frbm the surrounding country, were
present to inspect the various exhi-
bits. An interesting exhibit added to

this box of fruit. The manner in
which it is packed and its general ap-
pearance commanded the admiration
of everyone who visited the citrus car
Another interesting exhibit added to
the citrus car are three departments
from the Florida experiment station,
as follows:
Plant MISUNDERSTANDING species of

and attractive arrangement, together
with the station literature on these
citrus troubles.

this plain, as the growers have had
their troubles. and are only now get

important things to growers, it forms
an important part of the educational

Leaving Sanford at 10 o'clock, the
train reached Orlando at 1, where, as
at every other stop, hundreds greeted
the party. It was decided here to do
the speaking first, in order to hold
the attention of the crowd. Inter
esting addresses were made by Presi-
dent Murphree of the University, who
explained the nature and purpose of
the venture, and incidentally he stated

There are hundreds

about the Hoosier-
about the hundreds of
steps it saves etc, and
who have time and again
expressed a wish that
they owned a Hoosier;
yet always felt that they
couldn't afford to own
one.
To these women we
want to ask these two
questions:
Can you afford to pay
$1.00 this week as your
first final payment in the
HOOSier Club?
And can you afford to
pay the balance on the
cabinet in weekly dues
Of 81 for a few weeks?
Of course you can, but
if you would take advan-
tage of the opportunity
that permits you to own
a Hoosier at the above
rate, you must do so at
once, NOW, before the
SO members is enrolled.
Here in brief form are
the facts of the Club

Every woman is eligible to the
sale, and by simply paying $1.0O as
her first dues in the club the cabi-
net will be sent to her home, the
cabinet to be paid for in weekly
dues of 800 for a few weeks. No
other assessment will be made
