Ell PASO. TEXAS, Jan. 20.-Fort
Bliss is now the hospice for twenty
five hundred Mexican federal fighters
and camp followers. Three sections oil

morning. More are coming wednes-
day to complete the full quota of the
Mexican federal refugees. who fed
from Ojinaga to Texas, and surrendered
to the United States soldiers. when
driven from their trenches by the
rebels
AS rapidly as the federal fighters
reached the refuge camp they were
assigned to their places on tho com
pany streets. their baggage and ket-
ties unstrapped. and food issued to
them by an American camp cook. as
sisted by Mexican captain. who had
to keep sharp watch to prevent re-
turning for more food.
The Mexican soldiers were put to
work saving firewood, digging trenches
for the garbage. and setting up addi-
tional tents. The tents for the Mex
lean officers are segregated from these

constantly guarding Generals Mercado,

The prisoners are dressed in all

ried pots, pants. kettles and bedding
with them. many having their small
children on their backs. One woman
had sack full of chickens. which she

Now, therefore, be it known, that the
State Board of Health of Kentucky in
the exercise of authority vested in it by

CritioiSeS Roosevelt.

The New York World is always ready
to find peg on which to hang condem.
nation of its pet personal aversion-Col
Roosevelt-but, discounting ingrained
prejudice, there is some sober and sound
significance in a situation thus noted by
The World:
Another reason why the Bull Moose
party is going TO die may be found in the
fact that its leader is the only man in
America who in these days of sorrow
and perplexity is capable of assuming a
bullying and insolent tone towards the
President of the United States.''
The United States is now almost the
only great nation which is not involved
in the European horror. Woodrow Will
son is the chief executive officer OF this
nation. He stands, in this crisis of the
worlds history, not as a Democrat, or
any party man, but as our President.
Through him this nation is interpreted
before the world. BE is conducting his
Office and representing the nation with
dignity, honesty and the courage which
is calm. tits neither patriotic nor hon.
est to fail in respect for him or support
him. Theodore Roosevelt cannot afford,
as politician or a gentleman, to occu
py the unique position mentioned by The

Missed an Opportunity.

Some of the friends of Col. w. p.
Walton urged his appointment to the
place OF prison commissioner now held
by Gen. Henry r. Lawrence, the term
of which expired last May. The Gov
ernor evidently concluded to keep Gen
Lawrence on probation until after the
primary.
The Governor has, however, written
to Col. Walton that there was nothing
doing" for him in the Office of prison
commissioner, as he had already prom
ised il TO another man. Just who the
other man is the Governor did not init
mate, and therefore Gen. Henry Law
renee is still on the anxious seat, as it
seems clear he is not sure OF his own
footing.
Col. Walton ought 10 have known that
he stood no show. The man who gets
the Office is, as rule. one who dickers
with the appointing power before pledg-
ing support. Col. Walton never did this
in his life He is always for his friends
and his voice is ever lifted and his pen
ever trained for the men or measures
that seem best to him. Thus his sup
port goes without the asking, while the
powers dicker with the fellow who is
harder TO manage. Col. Walton doesn't
have to hold a job, and the service alone
is the loser, while Gov. McCreary miss
ed another of many opportunities Bow

HurTah For Dogs!

Not quite one family in four in Ken
lucky owns dog, Notwithstanding the
fact that 1,734, 463 of population of 2,
$50, J05 live in the country, according TO
the 1913 report of the State Board of
Equalization; but they average more
than one sheep to the family, as the 494 =
7S4 families enumerated in the Govern
ment census report have returned for
taxation 5000 sheep. Every 9th dog,
estimated from records in the Auditor s
Office, ale sheep, valued at about So,
during the year, which seems to require
explanations, because the sheep assess
ed were worth less than an average of So
the head, the SOB, OH being returned at
81, 504, 1888.
The county school funds are replen-
ished from the balance left over in the
dog tax after paying costs and the value
of the sheep killed by dogs. The total
accrulng 10 the school fund from the dog
tax in 1913 was $43, S76.69. The year be-
fore 127, 1856 dogs Melted the schools SAG,
SSS. AZ went to day for the mutton they
ate.
In large per centage of the counties
the dog tax has not been sufficient to pay
for the sheep claims, and in those the
amount in the fund was prorated, so that
the owners received for their sheep kill
ed by dogs only about what they were
worth for purposes OF taxation.
AT that the dogs paid into the State
more for the support of the schools than
the cash, stock and bonds, excepting
cash in bank, paid for all purposes.

These Pests Are Likely to Cause I'm.
told Losses Next Year.
Prepared by United States department OF
agricultural
The destructive May beetles, or 30
called June bugs. as was previously
predicted by the United States depart
ment Of agriculture. were extremely
abundant the past spring In northeast
ern Iowa, southern Wisconsin and
northern Illinois, parts Of Minnesota,
the southern part Of Michigan and
northern Ohio; also in northeastern
Pennsylvania, southeastern New York,
parts Of Connecticut and New Jersey.
This is Indicative of a great abundance
of white grubs In 1915, and, judging
from the greater abundance Of beetles
In most of these sections last spring
than three years ago, the grub injury
will be even greater than In 1912, when
1t caused many millions Of dollars
damage. 1t is Of greatest Importance.
the departments specialists say, that
farmers properly handle their fields
this fall and next spring to prevent a
repetition of the enormous losses occa-
stoned in 1912.
The beetles lay their eggs In land
covered with vegetation at the time Of
their fight (May and June); conse-
quently land In small grain, timothy
and such crops which cover the ground
as well as land overgrown with weeds

tested the following year. 1t Is also
noticeable that ground nearest timber
will be heaviest infested, other condi-
lions being equal, since the parent bee
ties feed on tree foliage and do not fly
great distances If they can find suit
able places to lay their eggs near by.
Fields likely to be infested with
grubs should be thoroughly plowed be-
tween Sept Is and Oct 10. The date
Of blowing will depend on latitude. and
the weather conditions for the grubs
go down as cold weather approaches.
and it Is desirable to pillow the fields
just before they 60 down when pos
sible. If the grubs are abundant. hogs
should be allowed to run In the field
wherever this can be done. Chickens
and turkeys are also valuable aids II
allowed the run Of newly pl0wed
ground If it is impracticable to make
use of hogs to rid the infested fields
Of grubs a deep and thorough disking
should follow the blowing. and In 1915
only crops least susceptible to injury.
such as small grains. buckwheat,
clover. vetch, etc.. should be planted,
and by no means should susceptible
crops. such as corn. timothy and pota-
toes, be planted. While fall blowing
should be practiced and Is Of great
value for destroying grubs, neverthe-
less 1t cannot be depended upon solely
to eradicate grubs. Corn6elds which
were kept cultivated and free from an
underground of weeds In May and
June Of 1914 may. with reasonable
safety. be planted to corn or potatoes
In 1915. although 1t Is advisable to in
spect the field first FOR grubs.
Proper precautions and planning OF
rotations for next year at this time viii
save many thousands Of dollars In
crops which otherwise would almost
certainly be destroyed BY the grubs.
