ARMIES FIGHTING
IN !ORREON
Villa Reports That Rebels Hold
Nothing But Barracks In
City.

Juarez, Mexico, March %
An official message from the
front tonight states that fight
ing is still going on for the pos
session of Torreon.
The telegram says the rebels
now hold all positions except the
main barracks and two smaller
barracks. In the last "a hours
it is reported that General Villa
took Cerra de la Cruz and the
Torreon foundry. Another tele-
gram admits a rebel loss in the
last six days of 900 killed and
wounded and places the Federal
loss at 1000. AS there already
are at Chihuahua 500 wounded,
the report of rebel losses is
thought to have been minimized.
Among the rebel wounded is
Gen. Thomas Urbina.
It is said that private soldiers
taken prisoners are being taken
into rebel ranks, but their Of
fcers are executed unless they
take the oath of !llepiance to the
Constitutional cause. All ir-
regular troops in the Federal
garrison are executed on cap
ture.
There have been no newspaper
disp: ches dealing with the at
tack, md the similarity of this
situation with that a Gomez Pal
acio is pointed out as significant.
When Villa was successful there
he permitted the newspaper men
to send their dispatches, but
when he was repulsed, as he was
twice, press messages suddenly
ceased.

Batesville, March 28.-Some
time last night, two of the coun-
ty boarders, Phil Medley, white,

The officers have sent out de-

to capture them before they get
out of this section.
Medley was serving a term for
selling whiskey, and the negro
was serving a term for assist

WATER SUPPLY
IMPORTANT QUESTION
Well Should Be So Located as
to Avoid Pollution
ClsTERN OF GOOD ADVANTAGE

The drinking water is one Of the
most important things In a farm
home. II it contains too much min.
eral matter health may be injured, or
the well may become contaminated.
Such diseases as typhoid and dyson.
terry are carried in water. Care must
be used that no pollution can seep
into the well. This requires that the
well be placed as far as possible from
o%uthouses, cesspools and barnyards as
convenience will allow, and also
above them, so the drainage will be
away from the we'll. It should be
graded up around the we'll, so that
nc surface washings can get into it.
The area from which water seeps
into a well depends on the depth Of
the well, the nature of the soil and
substance and the amount Of water
used. The more water used the
greater the distance it is drawn from.
The cistern can often be used to
good advantage. 1t should be water
tight to prevent leakage and to pre-.
vent pollution from the soil. A filter
should be provided, and the best
form Is to either make a brick cham
Der into which the water passes first,
or else make a brick partition in the
cistern. In either case the water
must pass through the brick wall
which filters it.. The charcoal filters
are not as satisfactory. They also
need frequent renewals.
Even when the we'll water is goo6
for drinking purposes cistern water
is better for washing.
Care in locating the well in rela'
ton to sources of contamination, and
grading up around it so no surface
water can run into It,, may save many
cases of sickness and it's accompany
ing danger and inconvenience.

PLANS OF THE RED CROSS.

.Boardman, chairman Of the national
relief board, in a statement points to
the $500 enrolled and ready trained
nurses Of the Red Cross who could be
modified very quickly. She also ex-
plains that one Of the first moves on.
the part Of the Red Cross would be to
establish reserve hospitals for sick and
wounded soldiers and sailors on the
gulf coast, the Atlantic coast and the
Pacific coast. 4 4 4ss
s.such hospitals" says Miss Board
man, might be established at Calves
ton, at some point on the western coast
and probably one in the vicinity Of
New York for men that could be trans
ported a greater distance. AS the Red
Cross would act under the orders Of
the war department, such hospitals
would be inScharge Of an army surgeon,
with other surgeons Of the army medi-
cal reserve. The Red Cross would pro-
vide nurses and e~quipmentfor such hos
pitfalls. Its also probable that it would
be advisable to provide a hospital ship
for the nayysandone for the army.
The medical personnel OF these
ships would be organized n the same
way as those of the hospitals. The
Red Cross would appeal 10 chambers

MAKING ALFALFA HAY.
Great Care Should Be Exercised in
Curing Product.

Great Care Should Be Exercised in
Curing Product.
A little study shows why great care
should be exercised in making alfal-
ia hay. Unlike true grasses, the
leaves readily fall from the alfalfa
plant as soon as they are dry. Leaves
are the richest portion Of the plant
and contain much the higher percent
age of protein. Without the leaves
the alfalfa plant would be but little
more valuable than ordinary grass
hay. Great care then should be exer-
cised to save all the leaves possible
in making alfalfa hay.
After the plants are cut, while the
leaves are wilted but before they are
dry, the leaves draw the moisture
from the stems of the plants. AS
soon as the leaves become dry they
cease drawing moisture from the
stem. Therefore hay is best cured
If the leaves are left in a wilted con-
dition. This is brought about by al
lowing the hay to cure in the alb.
sence Of sunlight. A large part Of
the curing should be done, then, in
the windrrow and in the cock. When
the hay is allowed to cure In the
Vwath, even the necessary handling
Vt the hay to get 1t onto the wagon
brings about a great loss Of leaves.
This loss should be prevented when.
ever possible.
With these principles in mind the
alfalfa hay, If cut in the morning,
and with q yield Of one to n and
one-half tons per acre, will be ready
to rake and bunch In the afternoon,
IL conditions for hay making r good.
With a light cutting of alfalfa the
rake may follow the mower within
three or four hours. The hay should
be raked up while still green. before
1t has become dry.

MAJOR sMEDLEY D. BUTLER, IN CHARGE
OF THE PANAMA MARINES.
thest point to which the marines
not intended for exte9ded field service,
although in China and the Philippines
they made long marches and fought
their way along with the regular
army. d. 0<.4 -
Hold First Bridge.
Secretary of War Garrison advanced
the proposal, however. that the ma
rines advance to another concrete rail-
way bridge sixteen miles from the port
city and that operations beyond that
point be intrusted to the army. How
ever, the naval contention was accept
ed, and it is the understanding that
the plan decided on contemplated that
the bridge eight miles from Vera Cruz
should be held by the marines and that
any operations beyond there should be
undertaken by the regular troops
transported from Galveston to Vera
Cruz. "E --s
Elaborate plans drawn for marine
corps operations contemplated a quick
dash to or toward the City of Mexico
to rescue Americans and other foreign
ers in the event Of riots and the over-
throw of General Huerta, with conse-
quent Reorganization of his army.
This plan was originally drawn when
it was feared that disorders in the cap
ital would bring chaos. Whether it
has been abandoned or modified is not
known. A quick dash up the railroad
to- hold a strategic position until the
arrival of troops is now believed to be
the keynote Of the plan, adds the New
York Times.
