Farmers at the Fair

No one should be interested in the Fair than the
farmer.
In the main the Fair is intended to show the many adj
vantages Garrett County has along agricultural fruit and
truck growing lines.
Farmers should feel this is their Fair, and such
only attend but bring with them for exhibition purposes
something they have grown upon their farms this year
There is section of the country where a greater va
rety of grains fruits and vegetables be raised than in
Garrett County and owing to the high altitude short
and consequent rapid growth, finer better flaw
Ored fruits and vegetables produced in any climate
At present producing only what need for
home consumption.
We should have a larger acreage of all kinds of pro-
ducts of the farm that buyers would thus be enabled to
from distance and shipments made to larger
markets.
This cannot be expected unless the farms made to
produce more than can be used at home.
TRUCK FARMING.
Truck farming has been conducted very successfully by
many Of farmers, and needs only be carried out
on extensive scale to make Garrett County famous
along this line
If a few hundred farmers would turn their attention to
raising for the market surplus of sweet corn omotoes,
beets cucumbers peas beans, berries etc. it would be
but short time until large canning factory would be
located in community and home market furnished for
large crops ofGamett County fruits and vegetables
One farmer stated to recently that he not only took
of his farm that made him good living but
selling in the market than thousand dollars worth
of small fruits and vegetables each year.

What we need is to broaden out along this line
EXCHANGING PRODUCE.
The custom of trading produce from the farm with the
home merchant has tendency to make them demand
more for their produce than be obtained in the
ket or its actual cash value

Government Denies
 Fall of Stronghold

Mexico City, April 4.-The federal government still obstinately denied today the capture of Torreon by the rebels. It was however, assumed Tn many quarters that General Huerta and his ministers were not in ignor- ance of the fate of that city,
 ! It was suggested that the reason for withholding the news from the public was based on psychological rather than on military grounds.
 It was pointed out by serious-mind- ed people here that the Temperament of. the Mexican populacA was such that news of a disaster like the fall of Torreon might easily start an avalanche of public opinion against the administration, which would thus find itself seriously. embarrassed at critical moment of it's career.
 The taking of Torreon gives the constitutionalists control of practi- cally half the republic with the ex- ceptinn of the cities of Saltillo and

Huerta's Troops
 Insult U. s. Flag

: Stories are told here of alleged in- suits to the American flag perpetrateIl by federal soldiers who were enraged by rumors that large number of Americans. were in Villas army. As a matter of fact there were but nine. None of them was killed or wounded.
 Dr. A. N. Carr, an American resi- dent of Torreon, was the only physi- clan on duty when the rebels took the town. He transferred his services to Villa and the latter instructed him to continue his work in the hospital.
 The formal entry into the city was without ceremony. The victory has greatly raised the spirits of the sol- diers, who have come through very trying campaign and who now talk confidently of taking the national capital itself.

MRS. ANTHONY SENT
 TO INSANE ASYLUM
Mother, Who Drowned Her Two Children, Believed to
 Be Feeble Minded.

Greenwich. Conn, April 4.-Mrs Helen Anthony who drowned her two children in a bath tub in her home. March 19, was committed to an in- sane asylum today, for a period of three years. If she is in normal health at the end of detention period she may be released.
 Mrs. Anthony was taken into court from the General Hospital. The complaint against her was that of murder based upon Coroner Phelan's finding. The coroner also held that she was sane when she committed the deed William F. Anthony, the husband, pr. J. A. Clarke, who had attended Mrs. Anthony, Dr. w. l.. Griswold and pr. A. w. Klein told of the circumstances of the finding of the children, Vivian, aged and Mar jorie,. aged two. and of the woman's condition. The physicians said that they believed she was mentally un- balanced at the time she ended the lives of the little ones and tried to kill herself. Dr. Clarke said he had found, prior to that time, that Mrs. Anthony firmly believed she had con- sumption and was going to die. She also worried lest her children should have the same disease. Mrs An thony is not i'll from consumption.
 Judge w. l.. Tierney said that the statutes gave him the choice of two courses, either to hold the woman for trial in the superior, court or to send her to an insane asylum. On the strength of the opinion of the doc- tors and the woman's appearance in court, he took the latter course. Mrs. Anthony sat in the court room and paid no attention to what was going on.

Rebels Gather
 Many Recruits

In the course of the house to house lighting rebels and federals frequent ly came with talking distance of each other and in some cases got on such friendly terms that they ceased firing entirely. In some of these cases the federals were per- suaded to remain when Velasco re- treated, and they will be enrolled un- der the rebel banner.
 At least a fortnight and probably longer will be required to reorganlze the army before the expected cam paign against Saltillo and Monterey can be made.
 Rebel leaders are awaiting news of the political effect of their victory on Mexico City and Washington.
 The federal artillery was superior to that of the rebels, many of whose shells proved defective.
 Villa was the very soul of the bat tie, His spirit animated everything. When things were going wrong he would gallop along the battle line en- couraging or reprimanding as the in diyidual case required.
 "Well done!" he said to the gunner whose shell had fallen true. Men like you will redeem Mexico,' he com plime mented wounded man who re- mained on the firing line.
 What, boy, do you find the danc- ing floor too rough?" he, chided q soldier who on some. pretext was making for the rear.
 Villa was in his headquarters at Gomez Palacio Thursday night when Torreon fell. Almost up to the hour of the federal flight he could not see the end of the battle and that morn- ing had telegraphed for bigger can

non, for 1t seemed as if his artillery was inadequate to dislodge the enemy from their positions in Huarache.
 His black, thick hair was mussed and standing straight up for the most part. and a six day stubble of beard was on his face. News of the evac- uation had reached him and he smiled, fairly purring his answers to Ques- tions put by newspaper men.
 Tell the public that after eleven days fighting the federals evacuated Torreon, leaving their dead and wounded behind them. That is all," he concluded.

MORE SUBPOHNAS ISSUED
 FOR ROAD OFFICIALS
Interstate Commerce Com mission After Facts Con-
 corning B. & M. R. R.

New Haven. April 4.-More sub poenas were served by federal mar shal today in furtherance of the plan of the interstate commerce commis- sion to obtain the books and papers of the N. Y., N H. 6 Hartford Rail- road company which will show de- tails of the sale of the Boston and Maine Railroad to the Billiard com pany, which had been formed to take over that property The subpoenas served today were upon A. $. May treasurer of the New Haven company, and Arthur A. Bowman, an assistan mt to the treasurer.
 The subpoenas served yesterday were upon Samuel Hemenway president of a bank here in which the railroad company did much of its banking; Harry w. Whipple. pres ident of another bank; John l.. Bill lard of Meriden, Samuel c. More house, an attorney who was among those which represented various rail- road interests in the legislature; Ed ward E. Field, treasurer of a de- partment store. and former President Mellen of the New Haven company.
 It has been known that for some days additional examiners for the interstate commerce commission have been looking over stock transfers and other books of record of the New Haven and the Boston and Maine companies. short time ago federal agents asked for special reports on the handling of full car lots of cer- tain commodities. and clerks in the freight traffic receipts department had to be assigned to hunt up infor- nation to which records had not been kept in minute detail as this mostly had to do with trunk line shipments and not to local freights.
 Most of the information was need ed for special purposes bearing upon rate controversies on other lines.

Federals Execute
 Three Spaniards

Persons who say they were eye witnesses declare that Velasco sum- marily executed three Spaniards whom he accused of firing on his troops. The wife of one of these, Lotero Lopez, attempted to shield her husband, and the same bullet killed both.
 Three hundred and fifty Spa niards. including women, and children, took refuge in bank building under the protection of American Consul Ulmer, who remained in town throughout the battle. The insurgents have shown iards who are known to have re- mained neutral. Other foreigners, in- cluding fifty-five Chinese, Syrians and Austrians, and 100 Americans, were unharmed, so far as could be learned today.
 It was reported that General velas- co himself was wounded but this re- port. like the one that he went insane in the trenches, could not be con- firmed. and the impression prevails that he still is at the head of his troops. Two federal generals were killed and three wounded.
 It Is said here that Velasco's retreat was brought about by his losses in and indications that his soldiers, worn out by the prolonged fighting and fear- full of the cruelties which they were told Villa practiced on the wounded prisoners were on the verge of mutiny.

Opposition to
 Federal Retreat

The rebels, however. infest the region along this main line to the south of Saltillo. One body of them, under General Eulello Gutierrez, has its headquarters at Conception Del Orc. the terminus of branch line from Saltillo and within striking dis tance of the main line. The pres ence of this body and that of other rebel forces in the same vicinity ren- ders improbable an unopposed re- treat of the federals toward the south. The railroad which connects Tor reon and Zacatecas to the south has long been out of commission and now serves only to mark the trail over which Velasco and his troops will have to march. Before reaching zacatecas 1t is thought to be certain that velasco will encounter the rebel forces under Gen. Panfllo Natera and probably will suffer from flank ing attacks by rebel troops from Durango
 Military men not intimately con- nected with the federal administra- ton express the opinion that velas- co.'s retreat will resolve itself into an effort of each man for himself. They say it is most likely that the next move of the rebels will be to start campaigns against Saltillo and Mon- terey and possibly subsidiary expedi- tions against Zacatecas, directly south of Torreon.
 At the same time the rebel task of attacking and capturing Tampico, on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, continues under the direction of Gen. Pablo Gonzales from his headQuar- ters in the city of Victoria.
 Another large quantity of small arms and machine guns, although it Is not to be compared with the amount captured at Torreon, was added to the rebel supply this week when @ federal force under Col. Enriquez Perez was cut to pieces to the northwest of the city of San Luis Potosi.
 The generals of the federal army, Moure and Hidalgo. are said to navo twenty or thirty field guns and a large supply of ammunition of all calibres. Hidalgo is believed to be at Saltillo, but is reported to be en- deavoring to join Moure east of Tor reon.
