Prepare for Rebel Attack.

General Castro, supreme-n command
at Ojinaga, says he thinks the rebels
are moving back into the interior and
that they will not try another attack
on Ojinaga. but he is straining every
facility at his command 10 put the
place in readiness for their coming.
Federal soldiers laugh when told that
the rebels may come back, but they
look around quickly when one suggests
that a dust cloud out on the plains may
have reason for its appearance other
than wandering whirlwind.
To-day has been one Of anxiety, 0t
expectancy and OF no little fear on both
sides of the Rio Grande. In Preside
the hundreds OF Mexican refugees have
been fearing an attack, American sol
diers have been preparing for one and
the Red Cross workers have been plan
ming 10 care for the wounded.
In Ojinaga, according TO those who
are in touch with that Federal strong
hold. there has been greater anxiety
than on the American side. and greater
haste in preparing for eyentualities
which they deny will come, but which
they evidently expect. And on both
sides of the river the one great ques-
tion is Where is Villa?"
Hunting for Rebel Aeropianc.
Federal scouts have been looking to-
day for an aeroplane which the MeXi-
can rebels are said TO have smuggled
across the border at a point near here.
The aeroplane Is said 10 have been

nository can hold were turned over
Manhattan it would cover the island
with twenty-eight feet of flood, the
whole area of the reservoir being about

removed to clear the way for the res

Declare Villa Put to Death.

According to Federal couriers reach
ing Ojinaga late to-day Pancho Villa
was captured and put to death twenty
miles from Ojinaga by Federal soldiers
Of the command of Argumedo, the Fed
eral general who pushed his way
through rebel territory with four thou
sand men to relieve the garrison at
Ojinaga. These couriers assert that
they have proof that Argumedo's ad-
vance guard caught Villa with a small
detachment of rebel troops away from
his main command, and after killing
his escort took the rebel leader. What
happened later is a surmise, but ac-
cording TO the courers there is little
doubt that the rebel chief was treated
as are all rebel leaders who fall into the
hands of the Federals.
Advices from Juarez tonight say
that no official word has come from
General Villa since he left Chihuahua
but that he is safe and sound and is
moving tonight on Ojinaga with Nlly
1900 men is the positive statement of
General Benavides, commanding at
Juarez, and of the rebel leaders on this
side, who are in communication with
the army in the field and, in round
about way, with the city of chihuahua
That the Federals in Ojinaga are not
fully satisfied that Villa is eliminated
from the campaign is shown by the
activity which has characterized the
days movements in the town. Every
man in the Ojinaga garrison tonight
is on duty. There is no sleeping in the
camp or in the town. The intrench-
ments are filled with men watching for
an enemy whose approach has not been
heralded, but whose coming is antici-
pated and feared.

out on the desert beyond Ojinaga is
General Pancho Villa, high chief of the

II Villa is captured or dead, as the
Federals assert, the hope of the reyo-

and militant. as is declared by the
rebels, Ojinaga may expect the most
determined attack it has yet expert
enced.
But Pancho Villa is missing. He was
with the rebel army Of Ortega two days
ago, according to the rebel junta here.
He came across the desert stretch Of

Wonder About 100000.

Even il the tea shop, which was
started last spring is more successful
than some of its proprietor's other
ventures, like the Van Norden Trust
Company, Of which he was president,
or the Van Norden Magazine. which
failed after short time, the Van Nor
den heirs are asking themselves how
long it will take to get back the $500
600.
One of the legatees under the Van
Norden will when asked yesterday II
il was expected that the SScOOOO
would be repaid answered: That's
what we are wondering, whether it ever
will"
The present tea store proprietor SUI
fered his first reverses when the elder
Van Norden sold out his interest in the
trust company bearing his name.
whereby it became merged with the
Carnegie Trust Company. While these
matters were pending, about week
before the final dissolution of the com
pany. the younger Warner Van Nor
den caused a sensation by accusing two
women of robbing him of $4,000 in
front of the Waldorf Astoria on his
wav home from the theatre.
When the case came up for trial, on
March IL, 1910, George Gordon Battle,
attorney for Van Norden, told the court
that the complainant was in Europe
and would not return for six months.
The women were discharged and the
case dropped. Van Norden also
dropped from the public view until No
vember. 1911. when it was learned
through a newspaper published in
Shanghai that he was in China. His
subsequent return TO this city and his
entrance into the retail tea business
have been known to only few.

No. g Hoodoo Shaft.

Although work on this link Of the
aqueduct began two and half years
ago at the time the other sections were
started. it is the last to be completed.
This is blamed largely on Shaft NO .,
which had the distinction Of being the
"hoodoo shaft" of the entire work. The
history Of No. 8. which pierces more
than four hundred feet Of the earth $
crust. is a continuous record Of disas-
ter. To begin with, bad ground, which
entailed numerous slides, was encount-
cred. Rock was of such formation that
extra heavy roof supports became inn
perative.
Then, to cap it all, came the disas-
trous fire of last August, during which
a great quantity Of the shaft super
structure and the underground work
ings were destroyed. Sixty workmen
were trapped at the bottom of the well
four hundred feet underground and
loss Of life seemed inevitable. Then 1t
was that Michael l.. Quinn, the super
intendent, and others were lowered into
the smoke-filled throat Of the shaft,
fought their way through the tuni--l
and rescued the men. In addition TO
this mishap many minor draw backs
were encountered throughout the work
on this shaft, and some of the men are
so superstitlous that they could hardly
believe in it's completion tomorrow.
The aqueduct is only part, though
undoubtedly the most difficult part, or
the gigantic provision which has been
made for New York's water supply.
The Ashokan reservoir, from which the
water will flow its ninety ysiX-mile trip
TO the city. is 1913 miles square, and its
cost. including that of relocating high
ways and paying for eleven miles Of
railroad track. which must be removed,
will approXimate SoO,OOO0W.

TREAT HARD ALFALFA SEED
UnyIeidlno Coats Prevent Them From
Taking Up Water Readily, Do
laying termination. Z

In testing alfalfa seed for germina-
ton. 1t will be noticed that some seeds
will not terminate, although they are
healthy in appearance and not decayed
at the end Of the test. These are
termed hard seeds" They have un-
usually hard seed coats, which prevent
them from taking up water readily.
These seeds terminate readily when
the seed coats are scratched. In for
mer years it was thought that hard
seeds in alfalfa and clover were as so
much inert matter. 1t is reasonable,
however, to believe that many Of the
seeds become sufficiently scratched
during seeding operations that they
will grow at once, while others will
grow later. Experimental work Is
being done along this line and 1t is
hoped that soon the hard seeds in al
falfa will be found nearly as useful as
the others. 1t Is found that alfalfa
seed from the various states differs
greatly as to the percentage OF hard
seeds. a.. ,.~l.5 49, g..
The Minnesota; seed laboratory. in
its enforcement of the new seed law,
has made regulation regarding the
hard seeds In alfalfa and the clovers
as follows: That, in placing the ger
mination test on the label when seed
is sold one-half the percentage Of hard
seed may be added to the percentage
of seeds that terminated. s@

GARDEN TRUCK FOR MARKET
Preparing Fruit and Vegetables 10
Most Important Operatlon-Uni- Y
7 - formity Most Desired. Il

The most important operation in
preparing fruit and vegetables for
market is the grading. The work
should be started in the; field with the
growing Of crops. Careful cultivation
means fewer culls and less expense
for sorting and grading. Uniformity
is the principal requirement to be
considered in grading and packing.
Growers should not attempt to ham
die and market their crops unless
they pack them in uniform packages
and grade them so that they will pre-
sent uniform quality and general
appearance. Produce put up In good
shape will appear to the best advan-
tage at the time Of sale. Markets
are seldom over supplied with good
fruits and vegetables; it is the I'M.
evenly ripened, poorly developed, bad
ly selected produce that Injuries the
sale Of the better products. a.. -
Produce OF all kinds should be sort
ed SO that in each package each spe-
cimen is as nearly like the others
as Is. practicable. The efficient grader
has In mind the appearance of the
whole package, and not the individual
specimens. This work can seldom be
overdone, for the more rigid the grad
ing the greater will be the profits at
the time of sale. H. a Il

It is often hard to get them at that
