MExICANs PREPARE FOR WAR
Santa Fe LabOrers at Dodge City Get
Ready for HOstilities.

Dodge City, Kan, Nov. H.-Many un-
Ineligible expressions in Mexican,
were to be heard in Dodge City when
q group of Mexicans from the Santa Fe
camp engaged in drills and sham
battle.
The city witnessed an interesting
scrap between two groups of Mexicans.
Both sides had leaders who gave drill
commands and endeavored to get their
men into some sort of fighting shape.
The people of Dodge City were not
frightened by the demonstration for
they knew it was only the hombres
preparing to return to their native land.
And all of these Mexicans will re-
turn to their revolution-torn country
and fight should the United States
send troops across the border. Most

county will not accept the offer Of
the state to install an irrigation plant
here, made through the commission
created by the legislature last winter.
The county commissioners have decid-
ed that the state asks too much. The
county must give not less than 40 acres
of land to the state, and before it is
accepted, must sink at least three
wells to show the depth, flow and
volume of water.
Whatever is produced on the land
will be sold by the state. which keeps
the proceeds. The county gets the
value of the discoveries made. But as
the farmers already know that water
put on the land will raise crops, the
commissioners cannot figure that any
other information will be worth the
expense.
