CUT CROSSINGS
Or PAY FINES
EVERY DAY
POLICE ARE AFTER THE SANTA
FEE AND ARE GOING TO MAKE
THEM COMPLY WITH ORDl-
NANCE OR FINE THE BUNCH.

For some time there has been per
sistent complaint against the Santa Fe
and the other two roads passing
through the city that whenever a train
was in it was a question as to wheth
er "A person could pass over the cross
| ing on Main street or not, with the
chances vastly in favor of not, as long
as the crew chose to crack jokes with
each other, do all manner of switch
ing and comment on the discomfort
of the populace in general But ac-
cording to the story the police depart
ment tell today, this is going to change
with a suddenness that will put a
crimp in the pay check of trainmen
if they have to stand for the fines.
Assistant Chief of Police Tucker
warned the local agent yesterday that
he was wanted at the city court this
morning to show cause why he should
not be fined for letting trains obstruct
the crossing. Yesterday afternoon
train blocked Main street for a full |
thirty minutes while the crew were |
either switching up about the viaduct
or engaged in some other work, and
he police department states that this
practice is going to be broken up If
hey have to arrest every crew that
passes through the city. From now
N the time limit is set and the time
INIT is short When a train passes
yer the crossing and stops they are
,oing to be required to "cut the
rossing' or the crew is going to pay
ines in the city court until the thing
ecomes mOnotonous.

CARRANzA-
VILLA SPLIT
RENEWED
LEADER IN NORTH MEXICO SAYS
HE WILL INVADE SONORA TO
BACK UP MAYTORENA AND
SENDS NOTE OF WARNING.

Nogales, Ariz., Aug. 2O.-Tangible
proof of the Carranza-Villa split and
the danger of an armed invasion of
Sonora state by villa forces were re-
ceived here To-Day.
Cen Villa, northern divisional COM
mander, telegraphed Carranza militia
ry officials in Sonora that if they COM
bated Jose Maria Maytorena, the
elected governor of the state, he would
nenetrate the state with his forces,
which recently have been recruited
war strength.
Villa - message, sent to Col. Pelias
Gales, military commander in the
north of Sonora, said in part:
81, as chief of forces under arms
closest to your state, should be oblig-
ed to enter your state and arrange
matters as they ought to be and es-
tablish authorities which shall be re-
spected so that peace shall be restor-
ed for the good of the nation"
Villa said he took this stand be-
cause Maytorena was the "constitu.
tional governor of the state of So
nora" and therefore "the representa- |
tive of the people"
Sonora state is in the military zone
commanded by Gen. Alvaro Obregon,
who heads the constitutionalist forces
which recently peacably entered the
City of Mexico.

IS the way they summed up the sit

Hair Made Beautiful

Beautiful hair, thick, fluffy, lustrous
and absolutely free from dandruff, is
not so much a gift of nature as a mat
ter of care and proper nourishment
Hair is like plant-it will not grow
healthy and beautiful unless it has at
tention and proper nutriment.
Partisan Sage, daintily perfumed and
easily applied, tones up and inyigorates
the roots of the hair. and furnishes the
necessary nourishment to not only save
and beautify the hair, but also stimulate
it to grow long, heavy, soft, fluffy and
radiant with life.
When used frequently and rubbed into
the scalp, it will simply work wonders.
Just one application stops itching head,
removes dandruff and cleanses the hair
of all dust and excessive oil
Since Partisan Sage. which can be OBJ
tanned from the Red Cross Pharmacy or
at any drug store, never disappoints, it
is no longer necessary for any woman
to be Inundated because of thin, streaky,
faded, lifeless or unattractive hair.-Adv
