burro, saddle and bride outright
for so pesos and started off a.
long the asphalt pavement, in
entirely the wrong direction.
Two very plump English war
correspondents hired q coach end
ordered the driver TO take them
to the water works. He took
them to the edge of the town,
got stuck in the sand and
brought the pair back in the ev-
ening, after they had ridden
four miles. There was one
party of real war correspond
ents-chaps who have been in
wars from Russia to Montene-
gro-who were caught mapping,
not yet having secured horses.
They rode on a street car to the
edge of town and then started to
walk the rest of the way in the
broiling sun. They had plenty
of ginger and energy and enthu-
siasm and bravery-three OF
the seven carried huge revolv-
ers-and everything was all
right about the expedition, ex-
cept that they went in exactly
the !, wrong direction. They
started out at noon, saw some
federals through a field glass
at 3 o'clock, at the same hour
turned back for Vera Cruz and
reached the city again eager to
buy cold cream for sunburns.
Seven photographers seized a
handcar and pumped themselves
fifteen miles along the narrow
gauge railroad, five miles into
the Mexican lines. AS soon as
they saw Mexican federals they
pumped themselves back again,
end reached the American lines
exhausted. Nobody could find
the waterwOrks, in time to see
the rumpus. True, very late in
the afternoon one war cores
pondent on mule, who had lost
his way, wound up, by accident,
ct the water works and got the
story of what happened, first
hand, from some Of the soldiers
who had witnessed the affair.
He got back to town about 9 in
the evening and dashed madly
to the cable Office, only to learn
that every correspondent in town
had heard the story and put it
on the cable many hours before.
1t had all been a matter of field
wireless. General Funston, and
his staff officers, had been I'M
constant communication with
the forces near the waterworks
and few correspondents who
had been forced to stay, broken
hearted with disappointment at
headquarters, were handed the
story on a silver tray, as it were,
hours before the war CORES
pondents who had ''gone to the
front" could get back and find
out that there hadn't been a bat
tie and that the Mexicans had
withdrawn.

opportunity for all the war cor
respondents to get together on
the job at one and the same time
came today. Before now we've
worked in relays. When war"
broke out some correspondents
were in Mexico City and had to
come down to Vera Cruz dis
guised as Englishmen. They
got here too late for the battle.
At that same time a large num-
Der of correspondents were on
the high seas, on battleships and
chartered boats and they, too,
missed the battle. There were
only a few correspondents in
Vera Cruz at the time of the ac-
tual fighting. But, within the
past few days, we've all met
here-some $50 of us-and to-
day was the first chance that
the whole crowd had found a
chance to work together, en-
masse.
It was a terrible sight; we al
most upset the army routine; ;
we had General Funston and his
entire staff trying to keep out of
our way so that they could take
care of a fight that was impend-
ing. It was like this:
Way out in the sandhills, eight
miles from the city, Mexican
Ecaptain had taken it into his
head, if he could get hold of the
water works Of Vera Cruz,
which were within a mile of his
/ line, he could control Vera Cruz
and kill the American invaders
by thirst. To carry out this
plan, he sent lieutenant and
three men, under a flag of truce,
to Major Russell, who had
charge of the $50 marines at the
waterworks, with the demand
that the major Immediately sur
render the waterworks, intilnat-
ing that something would be do
ing. "You must surrender in 10
minutes or we will attack" said
the envoy.
When Russell, over the field
wireless, flashed the news of
the incident across the bleak
sandhills, to General Funston's
headquarters in Vera Cruz,
there really was something do
ing. But it was among the cor
respondents and not among the
officers and soldiers. In the
first place none of the $50 of us
had army. passes, but only tick
cts which the navy had given us.
We had to have army passes.
We rushedup to headquarters in
street cars, coaches, on foot; we
besieged the building in which
Funston has his headquarters.
They wouldn't let us in. Gener-
al Funston was busy, they said,
getting reinforcements out to
the waterworks.
"Reinforcements," said an in
dignant war correspondent.
That's all right but what about
us?"
"There won't be any battle for
you fellows to see, if we don't
Iget somebody out to the water
works to fight" said lieuten-
ant. 1--WE have to get rein
forcements out there first, and
that's what the general is busy
about"
young Lieutenant named Will
liam Bell, should sign our pass
|es, permitting us to go to the
scene. But we couldn't get into
the building; we must line up
on the side walk before door
like window which opened into
the room where Lieutenant Bell
sat. We were dead willing. 1t

is useless. in my opinion, to try to ship
eggs by parcel post unless the person
making the shippings is particular in
small things. There is a way to pack
and time to ship, and unless these
precautions are observed failure is sure
to follow. | do not know whether all
cartons are properly made to carry
eggs. The kind l use are of double
corrugated paper and the boxes so
made that there are two thicknesses
of corrugated board on each side Of
the box. Inside are the usual COM
partments for each egg, made of the
same material.
The secret of success lies in the
wrapping of the egg before being
placed in the box. My method is to

Soil Texture and Moisture.

The term texture when applied to
the soil refers to the size Of the soil
particles. Generally speaking. there
are three main classes of soil, based
on texture, sand. silt and clay, and all
productive soils are, as rule, COM
posed of combinations Of the above
classes.
The amount of movement and the
rate of movement of soil moisture are
governed to quite an extent by texture.
In sand we find that the action Is
rapid, but lasts but short time. On
the other hand, the movement In clay
is very slow, but the water travels
through much greater distance. In
soils Of medium texture the action is
intermediate throughout In the aver
age soil movement of water is confined
to few feet, but in some of the fine
textured soils it may travel consid-
cradle distance.

wrap each egg in soft tissue paper, cut
to u proper size, and then wrap 1t
again in soft brown paper. so as to
fill the compartment and not permit it
to shake. Care should be taken to
have the tissue paper cut so that 1t
can be wrapped loosely around the
sides of the eggs. several wraps if pos
sible. and then fold in the paper ut the
ends. The object sought is to form
a soft cushion over the sides of the
egg, but be sure that no Jumps or
knots of paper are formed against the
sides of the eggs. which are likely to
cause them to break. 1t is the side of
the egg that must be protected rather
than the ends. The object Of using
heavy brown paper is to form addi-
tional cushion. The tissue paper is
used first for sanitary reasons, pre-
serving the egg and keeping it nice
and clean. 1t is not sufficient to guar
antee carrying without breakage. Pa
per is not all alike in its properties.
A harsh brown paper does not make
a good cushion for the egg to rest in.
Use soft paper and wrap it loosely.
and the egg will withstand the or
dinary jarring it receives in transit.
The eggs, of course, are placed in the
box ON ends. Eggs packed in this man.
ner can go anywhere.
