QUERETARO CITY TAKEN
BY OBREG0N'S FORCES
REPORTS Indicate That He VIII I'm
mediateIy Push on to
Mexico City.

Washington. Aug. 1.-Queretaro.
the last stronghold Of the federal
forces north of Mexico City has been
captured by General Obregon, accord
ing to advlces received by the state
department.
Unofficial reports indicate that Obre-
gon will proceed at once to the MeXi-
can capital. This is at variance with
the Carranza- Carbajal plan under
which all the constitutionalist leaders
would enter Mexico City at the same
time.
The state department has lost Cen
eral villa and has been unable to get
answers to its recent instructions to
It's agents In Mexico to discover his
purposes and report to Washington.
The last authentic dispatch to the
department was from one or the con-
suls, who declared that villa had left
the Carranza-Villa conference at Sal
tillo in bitter mood.
General villa has no personal agent
in Washington, but 1t is said that he
suspects the close relations which
have been brought about between the
British admiral. Sir Christopher Cra'
dock, Carbajal and Carranza.
Even officials In the state depart
ment are of the opinion that the resig-
nation of Iuerta, practically In favor
OF Carranza, through Carbajal, was
brought about when Sir Christopher
Cradock visited Huerta just before the
resignation at Mexico City.

Milwaukee, Aug. 3.-Fire of I'M
known origin starting under the old
grandstand at the state fair grounds
Sunday night destroyed ten buildings
and the grand stand, causing loss
estimated at $4,000 The loss Is
fully covered by insurance.
What caused the fire is unknown.
1t was the sixth blaze discovered I'M
der the grandstand by the watchmen
of the park since Saturday morning.
The first five had been eXtinguished
by the employees of the park
Shortly before the fire burst forth
three explosions were heard by SUI
perintendent NJ. J. Sweeney. lmmedi-
ately after the entire grandstand was
ablaze What caused the explosion is
a mystery to the officials. 1t is pro-
bable that a cigar stub started the
blaze.
The West Allis fire department
was summoned, but before they
reached the grounds the fire had
communicated to the county exhibit
IlDU DulIulHS, illt mann
and the poultry building.
While the West Allis fire depart
ment was coping with the blaze on
the south send Of the park in their
attempts to prevent it from setting
fire to the larger and newer build
ings, the flames spread to the north.
First the agricultural building was
destroyed. 1t was quickly followed
by the college of agriculture, the art
building. the womans building and
the farmers dining room.
Two hours after the fire had been
discovered the grounds looked as If a
cyclone had swept them, taking
along all of the buildings Standing
out brightly in the glare of the dying
embers the new concrete granstand,
which had not been touched. The
only damage done to this stand was
that It was blackened and slightly
cracked by the heat. That the loss
was not greater and that every build
ing on the west end of the grounds
was not swept away before the blaze
was probably due to the structure
being built of concrete.
No one was injured during the
fire, which was considered mracu-
lous by the officials Of the park. Dur
ing the blaze hundreds of telegraph
and telephone wires came down when
the poles upon which they were
strung burned and fell, carrying live
wires to the ground
The fire was discovered by Supt.
Sweeney. He with three others had
been stationed under the grandstand
throughout the afternoon to watch
for fires.
This action was taken. according
to Secretary Mackenzie, because Of
the discovery of two fires under the
stand on Saturday. During the af-
ternoon three small fires had been
discovered while the crowds were
gathered in the stand watching the
motorcycle races.

ARMY WORMS INVADE CITY

Sheboygan.-The army worm has

the city of Sheboygan gardens In the
low lands along the lake shore have
been ruined in two days, flowers as
we'll as vegetables being destroyed
by the worms, although so far they
have not been generally reported
about the city, but are found on the
lower levels.
At Oostburg the worms came in
such large numbers that several
fields of oats and corn have been
ruined in few days and the farmers
are now working overtime to save
the crops before the worms get them
Corn and clover fields have been at
tackled, but the worms came too late
to get the large pea crop.

Cultivation should begin curly. Gull
tivators with not less than twelve
small teeth or shovels are best for
small truck crops, because they leave
the soil in ideal condition, and are the
best conservers of soil moisture. A
loose and friable soil stimulates
steady and rapid growth.
Packages must be neat and clean. AS
rule small packages are best early
in the season when the prices are
high, and large packages for the main
crop. Use standard sized packages
and give full measure.
Crops must be gathered in proper
condition and sent to market fresh
