Won't Fight U. S., Says Villa.

Ell Paso, Texas, April 23.-Gen.
Francisco Villa, head of the Rebel
military forces, informed George C.
Carothers, special agent of the Unit

decline to be dragged into war with
the United States by anybody.
why" he smiled, as he threw an
arm about the shoulders of the gov
ernment representative, "all Europe
would laugh at us if we went to war
with you. They would say, That
little drunkard, Huerta, has drawn
them into a tangle at last"
Villa said he was not consulted in
the drafting of the Carranza note
transmitted to Secretary Bryan last
night, and which was regarded as
somewhat hostile in tone.
The Rebel leader told Carrothers,
who reported the interview to the
State department tonight, that one
Of the chief reasons he came to
Juarez was to show the American
people that his attitude was friendly,
and that he did not fear to trust
himself on the border without a
military escort behind him.
Honest" said the Rebel general
between mouthfuls, II hope the
Americans bottle up Vera Cruz so
that they can't even get water into
it. Your admiral is doing something
it would have taken us long time
to accomplish, even if we could have
accomplished it at all
Villa said he had arranged with
all foreigners, except Spaniards, to
ship out their cotton from Torreon
on paying a war tax, to which the
foreigners had agreed.

General rrade condltIon..

Bradstreet's: There is a good deal
of irregularity in trade reports. While
business in many lines makes an ac-
ceptable comparison with last year,
the hub of complaints now heard is
found in the tendency to buy in small
lots for immediate uses, rather than
to make heavy purchases for distant
wants. Withal there is a good vol
ume of business and, while retail trade
has been hampered by unpropitious
weather, the movement in general is
forward.
In the winter wheat growing sec
tions there is more optimism than
conservatism and therefore trade, in
a collective sense, exhibits improve
ments.
Retrenchments by railroad and un-
settlement in western bituminous
fields invest the labor situation with
a less favorable color.
For the week failures were 236

ings $3,507, 045.O0O. an increase of 81

Dun's Review says: Current move
ment of merchandise continues some
what below normal, particularly in the

orally promising agricultural outlook.
At number of interior centers bank
clearings exceed those of the two

Mercantile collections are somewhat
backward, which is not unusual at this
season, and in spite of the attractive

tinue restricted. Retrenchments still

as much branched perennial, which
form a thick mat over the ground a
foot or 10 inches in depth, the branches
extending from five to eight feet; one
plant often covering an area of Is to
20 square feet. The leaves are about
an inch long, broadcast at the apex,
coarsely toothed along the margin,
fleshy and somewhat mealy on the out
side. The fruits are tinged with red,
flattened and pulpy, but become dry
as soon as they fall from the plant. The
seeds terminate better If sown on the

firmed by driving a flock of sheep
across it. When covered to any depth
the seeds decay before termination.

Salt Bush AS Feed.

Mr.. Mansfield is not only very en-
thusiastic about the salt bush as a
food for sheep. but believes it is good
feed for other stock also. Hogs, cat
tie and horses, he states, eat it some,
and he believes that they would learn
to like it as well as sheep do If they
were confined a short time on it.
Sheep, he adds, must be confined on it
a day or two before they relish it.
Then they go to it with avidity They
do not, however, eat enough of it
to make them sick or die, as they do
on alfalfa and a great many other
plants. but they get exceedingly fat
