NEW CRISIS IN
MEXICO ARISES
Carranza Orders Vera Cruz Port
Closed, Situation Grows Tense
FUNSTON ASKS MORE TROOPS
Carranza Arrogant Since Taking
POwer-Wilson Sends Paul
Fuller as Personal
Representative
ASKS MORE TROOPS

Washington, Sept 1.-Brigadiel
General Funston has reported to the
war department that Provisional
President Carranza has declared the
port of Vera Cruz closed. Funston
stated this will have a serious effect
on the city's food supply.
Funston has clashed with Carranza
and has called for a reinforcement
of troops from the United States.
This is the sensational news that
has boen suppressed for three days
by the war department. 1t became
/ ublic accidentally today. 1t looks
as IL the Mexican trouble is about

army officers are predicting inter-
vention ty the United States before

northeast of Paris, thirty miles east
by northeast of Amiens and nearly
fifty miles south of Lille.
A defeat of fifty thousand Ger
mana sreans that reconnaisapce IN
strength has been checked and. prob
ably, the entire German front north
of Paris set back few miles, or at
least its momentum checked.
1t probably also means that Cen
eral Pau has succeeded General
Joffre as commander-in-chief Of
French forces, a move that has been
expected since his visit to Paris Sun
day.
1t may also mean that the army
from Alsace, which General Pau has
has completed its move
ment into Northern France to
strengthen the Anglo-French front
there.

G. A. r.. IN SESSION
AT DETROIT, MICH.

Detroit, Mich, Sept. AFTER an
intermission of twenty-three years,
the Grand Army of the Republic is
again the guests of this city. The
veterans are here from nearly every
state in the Union to attend the
forty-eighth national encampment.
Although the army is smaller than
in 1891, when a former encampment
was held here, the city's welcome is
all the greater.

republic of Mexico he has harassed
Americans and has done everything
possible to make himself and his
government obnoxious to the Unit
ed States government.
President Wilson is still hoping
to bring Carranza to realization
Of his obligation to the United
States. He is awaiting the outcome
Of the mission of his personal rep
resentative, Paul Fuller, who is
on his way to Mexico City.
The hope of President Wilson is
not reflected in army circles. 1t is
known, for instance, although the
news has been suppressed by the
administration, that General Fun
stOn has cabled from Vera Cruz ask
ing for additional troops. His re-
quest has not been complied with.
Shortly after Carranza entered
Mexico City, Secretary Of the Navy
Daniels began ordering back vessels
Of the American fleet which have
been statiCne on the east coast Of
Mexico at Vera Cruz and Tampico.
This movement has ceased, and it
IS now announced at the navy de-
,artment that no more vessels will

One of his first acts was to cut

The County Fair and
What 1t Means to You

aim to, and want to make this the
most interesting fair, from an edu-
cational and social standpoint, ever
held In Abilene. On account of the
increased facilities, provided by the
parcel post for moving products, we
believe the county fair will be an
ever increasing source of benefit to
the farmers and the county at large,
in making known to the people what
we have to distribute, now that an
easy mode of distribution is provid-
ed. 1t should foster industries of
various kinds.
Many OF the most successful farm
ing communities in the eastern states
where the county fairs have long
been established institutions, at
tribute large measure of their
success to methods learned by OBJ.
servation and lectures at the coun-
ty fair. Many exhibitors remain at
their booths by their products and
explain the processes employed in
producing them. This shows a spirit
of comradeship and brotherhood
which works for the good of the
community. :.
Many of the county fairs in east
ern states have been held regularly
for years. The one soon to be held
at Morris, ILL.,, wealthy little town,
much smaller than Abilene, will cell
ebrate its fifty-fourth session this
fall. 1t is a recognized mutual ben
eft organization.
We hope to be able in time to
make record equal to that, but it
will take the heartily cooperation of
very public spirited citizen in the
own and county. Our fair Is yet on
! doubtful financial basis and with
nut the hearty support of the people
t will have to disband, in time, and
'e thing Of the past. We wish to
hank the progressive business men

ouragement they are giving us, and

A few years ago there was or
ganiZed in Abilene, by a number o
persons, largely farmers, interested
in promoting the community, an as
ISOLATION, known as the Dickinson
County Fair association, organized
expressly for the purpose of bring
ing together on a common ground
as a mutual benefit, the people OF
Abilene and of Dickinson county
and providing place at the county
seat where the various industries Of
the county might be displayed and
advertised.
Here the farmer displays and
advertises his live stock and agri-
cultural products; the housewife her
fine arts and culinary accomplish
ments; the schools the progressive
work done yearly by the pupils; the
merchant his wares; the manufac-
trrer his products; the inventor his
patents, and every known art or
industry is gladly accorded space;
each one educating the other and
the county at large to the newest
and best in their lines in the county
The fair is, and will be the one
event in Abilene in which the bene-
fits are shared alike by the county
and town. A connecting link. 1t is
an institution in which the give
and take" principle is foremost in
purpose. 1t should be and we be-
lieve is, appreciated by the citizens
of Abilene. The grounds alone are
an ornament to the town, the towns
people take pride in escorting our
visitors through them, pointing out
one of the beauties of Abilene.
The association has been kind
ness itself to Abilene, offering 1t as
t has, a place of recreation for our
Younger inhabitants. The various
Sunday schools and the other edu-
'ational institutions Of the city have
BEEN given the grounds free If
'harge for their picnics, ball games
md other athletics. And never have ,
he little ones been barred from the :
rounds when they desired to play
here. .
The racing stables, too, are a
enefit in general way, promoting =
they do, the raising of fast driv-
,e and riding horses, so necessary
or military service.
This then is the purpose of the :,
and its attitude towards
le city and county.
What is the city's attitude to- I"
ard the fair association? We be- q
eve the city appreciates the bene- y
is derived from holding the coun- I"
fair in its midst. The business
en- are giving us their royal sup G
'rt, the citizens, we have every rea-
n to believe, will make an effort F
aid US, even more enthusiastically T

IS pledged its hearty support. We nj
