the run of last week, but smaller than
killing cattle, that is beef steers. COWS
and heifers were in very fair demand
this morning and the market opened in
reasonable senson with prices steady on
the less desirable kinds and fully l0c
higher on the kind of cattle. that buyers
especially wanted. Cows and helfers
showed the same advance, desirable
kinds being around l0c higher than yes
terday. Inferior kinds of butcher stock
were at least steady.
Stockers and feeders have been coming
In most too rapidly this week. While
there has been reasonable demand II
has not been equal TO the receipts, with
the result that prices were not only lower
today. For the last two days the market
is l5Gf25c lower. the decline being~Ie most
noticeable on the light and medium
weights, choice feeders showing less de-
cline.

The Mexican Situation.

Because he believed an emer-
gencY existed, President Wilson
went ahead on his authority Tues
day and ordered Rear Admiral
Fletcher to seize Vera Cruz Gus
toms House to prevent the landing
of a German vessel with a big
consignment of arms and amuni-
ton tor the Huerta government,
and while the Mexican forces did
not oppose the landing of the
battleships Utah, Florida and
TRANSPORT Prairie, they opened
fire after the Americans seized the
Custom House. In the fighting
that followed four American
marines were killed and twenty
wounded while over two hundred
Mexicans were killed.
No attempt was made by the
Americans to take Vera Cruz,
only that portion in the immc-
date vicinity of the custom house
is held, and the future depends on
the action taken by the Huerta
authorities. Rear Admiral Bad
ger with five of his ships, COM
prising the advance guard of the
Atlantic fleet, reached Vera Cruz
Tuesday evening where orders
from Washington awaited him to
proceed to Tampico and divide his
ships between that port and Vera
Cruz.
The Natchitoches enterprise., 1914-04-23

Probably more than 81 100000 is be-
ing paid annually out the school funds
of Louisiana to teachers brought In
from other states. We have no fault
to find with such teachers, many of
whom have rendered the State excel
lent service; but we believe that
Louisiana men and women should
answer the call of the schools and
prepare themselves as teachers in
such, numbers that it will not be nee
essary to continue importing teachers.
Let this million dollars remain in
Louisiana. Young men and young
women, go to the State Normal
School at Natchitoches where ex-
perts are employed by the State for
the sole purpose Of training teachers,
and there prepare yourselves for this
important work. Exclusive OF books,
the necessary expenses for the six
weeks summer school are only S24;
for the ten weeks school, s38.
