REFUGEES REACH
BORDER SAFELY
Halt Famished Caravan From
Chihuahua at 0jinaga.
SPENT EIGHT DAYS in DESERT
All Were in Panic al They Entered
ojinaga-civiIians Among the
Refugees Crossed Into
United States.

Preside, Tex, Dec. 9.--Out of the
desert came the struggling caravan Of
Mexican refugees from Chihuahua
City. Famished men, careworn women
crying children and disheartened sol
diers-they presented spectacle OF
despair
Ojinaga, opposite Preside on the
Mexican border, was haven to the
several thousand who had struggled
1856 miles, with food and water for
only half the number. Many had died
In the desert, many had been left
because they could not continue far
ther without food and drink. 1t had
been a remarkable hegira. They had
chosen 1t in preference to a chance
of death or torture at rebel hands.
The trail from Chihuahua is well
marked. There are the blackened
ashes of eight campfires, marking
eight stages in the slow, trying flight
from their homes-the eight nights
they stopped to rest in the open des-
ert, sometimes in raw wind blow
ing off the high plateau and often
within the hearing of the bowling
coyotes. There, too, the the discarded
valuables which the refugees found
were impeding their progress to
safety.
The complete rout of Huerta's fed
eral army in northern Mexico, with
h4 fror in iol, of hiu uonorn1c far
safety on the border and the demon
alization of the unpaid troops was es-
tabished with the arrival of the
troops.
In the caravan were Gen. Salvador
Mercado, Huertas deposed military
governor and commander of the fed
eral troops in the north; Gen. Pas
cual Orozco, Gen. Antonio Rojas, Gen.
Marcelo Caravo, Gen. Ynez Salazar
and host of subordinate officers.
They had deserted their posts in
fear of Gen. Francisco Villas rebel
army and virtually had surrendered
to the rebels Chihuahua, the state
capital, and the largest of the north
ern cities.

she followed Mrs. Nesbitts stately fig.

them streamed the dominoes, every
tint and hue imaginable. 1t seemed
to Gloria as though it were a travesty
on life, this masking Of forms and
faces, and the mad whirl of the dance
beyond. Was Stanley among them?
She had managed to let him know, but
the yacht had not been in the bay that
day.
Suddenly she noticed one domino
that seemed to linger just behind her.
Something in the walk drew her at
tention. 1t was yellow and black. Her
own was Of rose colored satin. Just
as Mrs. Nesbitt moved away to speak
to someone she had recognized, the

Students Loan fund
Affiliated at Normal

The establishment Of a fund from
which needy and deserving students
may secure loans is being agitated at
the Normal school. TO start this fund,
the members of the senior class have
volunteered their class funds as a me-
mortal. Steps are also on foot to have
this fund augmented by faculty contri-
buttons. "A faculty committee consist

SOME CONDITIONS IN OUR RURAL LIFE
Rathje rs.
BY George Rathje rs.

from sixteen to seventeen hours a
day. II the farmer keeps his children
out of school to save the expense Of
hired labor and still finds he is run
ming his farm at a loss, the consoli-
dated schools will not make it easier
for HIM to support, his family. The
farmer getting profitable price for
his products.
Farm Youth in Bad Environment.
Another deplorable feature in rural
life is the environment in which the
farm youth is compelled to live and
work. At a very tender age he is put
to doing chores and to working
around the yard and in few years he
takes his place with the hired men
working in the fields. Here the hard
work and the deprivation are per-
haps less harmful than the company
he is forced to keep-that of the Am
SAANdI AOUO VI lid HUI oil C4uVdAC
The farmer does not like to keep thi J,
kind of help, but as labor conditions
whatever he can get, and often he
can get nothing better. The child
thus deprived of school and play,
compelled to work with depraved and
profane men; isolated from other
children; his parents often almost
illiterate, certainly has not very
promising future before him.
Problem Largely One Of Management
It is plain that to remedy these
undesirable conditions in rural life.
the problem of prime Importance is to
make the farm pay. That the solu-
ton of this question does not lie in
raising more bushels to the acre l.:
well known; for when a good crop is
iproduced the prices drop so low that
the farmer would be better situated
il he grew fewer bushels and received
higher prices for them Let the farm
er receive equitable prices for his
grain and other produce and he will
soon build sanitary homes and live
in natural manner. He will have
time for recreation and social pleas
ures; he will be able to read and
to travel to get his mind out of the
narrow field to which it was formerly
limited. Then consolidated schools;
will be able to serve their purpose
and the farmers child will be free,!
from his former slavery to study and
play as God evidently intended HI,
should,
